Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a one-touch cap, in
particular, a one-touch cap which enables a cover part to encompass
a whole part cap body when the cover part is closed, so as to
fundamentally prevent a phenomenon in which a gap between an upper
end of the cap body and a lower end of the cover part is widened
due to the continuous opening and closing of the cover part for the
use of contents, thereby to prevent the leakage of contents and the
inflow of foreign substances.
[0002] Generally, one-touch caps are configured to include a cap
body which is coupled to an upper portion of a container body and
having a discharge hole for discharging contents, and a cover part
which is hinge-coupled to one side of the cap body, such that the
discharge hole provided at the cap body can be opened and closed
through an upward/downward rotation of the cover part. This type of
`one-touch cap` is disclosed in the registered utility model No.
20-0438528 (Hereafter it is called as `the registered utility
model`).
[0003] The registered utility model in the above relates to a
one-touch cap of cosmetic container including a body part (10)
coupled to a cosmetic container and a cover part (20) coupled by
means of a snap hinge at one side of the body part (10),
[0004] characterized in that interference prevention cutting parts
(2)(2') are formed at both sides of a snap hinge (1) which connects
a top end of the body part (10) and a lower end of the cover part
(20).
[0005] However, the one-touch cap as in the above is configured in
a way that a lower end of the cover part (20) is seated on an upper
end of the body part (10) when the cover part (20) is closed.
However, a gap between an upper end of the body part (10) and a
lower end of the cover part becomes widened because the upper end
of the body part (10) and the lower end of the cover part (20) are
continuously being contacted, such that there will arise problems
that contents can be leaked and that the one-touch cap can be
contaminated due to influx of foreign substances through the
gap.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0023] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state of the
one-touch cap being coupled to a container body according to an
exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a one-touch cap according to the
preferred embodiments of the present invention includes a cap body
100 and a cover part 200.
[0025] The cap body 100, coupled to an upper portion of the
container body 10 where contents are stored, has a discharge hole
110 formed at a center portion thereof for discharging contents
stored in the container body 10.
[0026] Furthermore, at the cap body 100 is provided a limitation
protrusion 120 which supports a fixing protrusion 220 of a cover
part 200, to be described later, in a state that the cover part 200
closes the discharge hole 110. The limitation protrusion 120 is
possible to be formed simply at an upper portion of an front
portion of the cap body 100 which meets the fixing protrusion 220,
and also possible to be formed to encompass an upper outer
circumferential portion of the cap body 100.
[0027] In the present invention, it is characterized in that a
hinge coupling part 130 is protrusively provided at a rear portion
of the cap body 100 such that a cover part 200 can be hinge-coupled
thereto. By equipping the hinge coupling part 130 protruded from an
outer circumferential portion of the cap body 100 and placing a
hinge 240 separated from the cap body 100, it is possible that the
cover part 200 can cover a whole part of the cap body 100 and
thereby close the cap body 100 when the cover part 200 is rotated
to a downward direction and closed. At this moment, the perimeter
of the cover part 200 is configured to be bigger than the perimeter
of the cap body 100 so as to encompass the whole part of the cap
body 100.
[0028] Furthermore, the hinge coupling part 130 is preferred to
have a predetermined height from a bottom dead point of the rear
portion of the cap body 100 so as to prevent a gap with a cut open
part of the cover part 200 from being formed in a state the cover
part 200 covers the whole part of the cap body 100.
[0029] The cover part 200, hinge-coupled to one side of the cap
body 100 and opening and closing the discharge hole 110 by an
upward and downward rotation, is provided with an opening and
closing protrusion 210 which opens and closes the discharge hole
110 at an inner side thereof.
[0030] Furthermore, a fixing protrusion 220 which is supported by a
limitation protrusion 120 is provided at an inner side of a front
portion of the cover part 200 such that the cover part 200 can be
rotated to a downward direction and be fixedly coupled to the cap
body 100 in a state of closing the discharge hole 110. Due to this,
the fixing protrusion 220 normally in a storing state is supported
by the limitation protrusion 220 and prevents the cover part 200
from rotating to an upward direction and opening, and then is
released from the limitation protrusion 120 when a user applies a
certain amount of force, and makes it possible for the cover part
200 to rotate to an upward direction.
[0031] In the present invention, it is characterized in that the
cover part 200 is configured to rotate in an upward and downward
direction in a state of being coupled by means of a hinge 240 to
the hinge coupling part 130, and configured to cover the whole part
of the cap body 100 such that the cap body 100 will not be exposed
to the outside in a state the cover part 200 rotates to a downward
direction and closes the discharge hole 110. To attain this end, a
height of the cover part 200 is preferred to be high enough to
receive the cap body 100.
[0032] Furthermore, the cover part 200 is formed with a part of a
rear portion thereof meeting the hinge coupling part 130 cut open,
and more preferably, formed with a shape corresponding to the hinge
coupling part 130 such that a gap will not be formed between the
hinge coupling part 130 and the cover part 200.
[0033] Meanwhile, it is preferred that a handle 230 is equipped at
an outer side of a front portion of the cover part 200 such that a
user can easily grasp and rotate the cover part 200 to an upward
and downward directions.
[0034] The present invention, as described in the above, is
characterized to be composed of a new structure of a one-touch cap
wherein the cover part 200 encompasses a whole part of the cap body
100 when the cover part 200 is closed. Accordingly, due to this
structure wherein an upper end of the cap body 100 and a lower end
of the cover part 200 do not meet each other when the cover part
200 is opened and closed, it is possible to fundamentally prevent
the phenomenon in which a gap between an upper end of the cap body
and a lower end of the cover part is widened by a continuous
opening and closing of the cover part 200.
[0035] As described above, optimal embodiments have been disclosed
in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms have
been used herein, these are only intended to describe the present
invention and are not intended to limit the meanings of the terms
or to restrict the scope of the present invention as disclosed in
the accompanying claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will
appreciate that various modifications and other equivalent
embodiments are possible from the above embodiments. Accordingly,
the scope of the present invention should be defined by the
technical spirit of the accompanying claims.
