         5 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the coupling part ( 34 ) is formed such that a coupling length thereof varies when the cap body ( 31 ) is opened. 
     
     
         6 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 5 , wherein the coupling part ( 34 ) comprises a horizontal cut part ( 337 ) which is formed in a predetermined portion of the indication ring ( 33 ) connected to the cap body ( 31 ) in such a way as to be offset from a bridge forming layer, thus providing a cap support strip ( 343 ) which increases a cap supporting length when the cap is opened, therefore variably increasing a coupling length when the cap body ( 31 ) is opened. 
     
     
         7 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 6 , wherein
 a lever type wedge ( 323 ) protrudes from the cap body ( 31 ) in such a way as to be inclined relative to a vertical direction, and supports the cap support strip ( 343 ), and   the indication ring ( 33 ) comprises a guide groove ( 333 ) which is concavely formed in the horizontal cut part ( 337 ) so that the lever type wedge ( 323 ) is fitted into the guide groove.   
     
     
         8 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 7 , wherein an outer portion of the lever type wedge ( 323 ) is curved to correspond to an outer circumference of the spout of the container body ( 10 ). 
     
     
         9 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 6 , wherein the coupling part ( 34 ) comprises a foldable coupler ( 341 ) which is foldable at a central portion thereof and protrudes out. 
     
     
         10 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 6 , wherein the indication ring ( 33 ) is provided with a locking protrusion (c) which is locked to the container body ( 10 ) so as to prevent rotation of the cap when external force is not applied thereto. 
     
     
         11 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 10 , wherein
