Container with anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap

Abstract

A container with an anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap is disclosed. The container is constructed so that a cap is fastened to a container body in a threaded manner. The container body has a ring stopping step provided under a threaded part of a spout to prevent removal of the cap, a support step provided under the ring stopping step to be spaced apart therefrom, and a support ring seat provided between the ring stopping step and the support step. The cap includes a support ring, a cap body and a hinge part which are integrally connected to each other. The support ring is placed on the support ring seat to prevent the removal and idle rotation of the cap. The cap body opens or closes the container body and has on an inner circumference thereof a threaded part. The hinge part couples the support ring with the cap body.

         2 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the support ring ( 33 ) comprises a cut line ( 34 ) at a position adjacent to the hinge part ( 35 ) to extend a coupling length of the supporting ring with the cap body ( 31 ). 
     
     
         3 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the hinge part ( 35 ) comprises a foldable hinge which has a foldable line ( 351 ) to extend a length between the cap body ( 31 ) and the supporting ring ( 33 ) when the cap ( 30 ) has been opened. 
     
     
         4 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the support ring seat ( 14 ) of the container body ( 10 ) comprises a long neck part ( 14 L) such that the support ring is movable up and down, and the cap body ( 31 ) comprises a step receiving end ( 313 ) under the threaded part ( 311 ), an inner diameter of the step receiving end being larger than that of the threaded part ( 311 ) to allow the step receiving end to pass over the ring stopping step ( 13 ) of the container body. 
     
     
         5 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 4 , wherein the long neck part ( 14 L) comprises:
 a smaller diameter part ( 141 ) provided on a lower portion of the long neck part,   an outer diameter of the smaller diameter part being formed to be smaller than an inner diameter of the support ring to permit free rotation of the support ring ( 33 ); and   a larger diameter part ( 143 ) provided above the smaller diameter part ( 141 ) to prevent the support ring ( 33 ) from rotating as long as external force is not applied.   
     
     
         6 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the support ring seat ( 14 ) is set so as to prevent the support ring ( 33 ) from rotating as long as external force is not applied. 
     
     
         7 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap ( 30 ) comprises a plurality of bridges ( 37 ) which are integrally connected between the cap body ( 31 ) and the support ring ( 33 ) and which are severed when the cap is opened. 
     
     
         8 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein the support ring ( 33 ) has on an inner circumference thereof a locking protrusion (S) for preventing idle rotation. 
     
     
         9 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 8 , wherein the locking protrusion (S) comprises a step which is formed to allow the support ring ( 33 ) to be easily fitted over the container body and prevent removal of the support ring in cooperation with the ring stopping step ( 13 ), or comprises a radial wing (S 1 ) which protrudes inwards in a radial direction and is locked by a locking groove ( 147 ) formed in a corresponding portion of the container body. 
     
     
         10 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein uneven coupling parts ( 321  and  322 ) are provided on the cap body ( 31 ) and the support ring ( 33 ) and are coupled to each other at a position adjacent to the hinge part ( 35 ) so that the cap body ( 31 ) is bent and secured to the support ring ( 33 ) when the cap is opened. 
     
     
         11 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a wedge (K 1 ) is provided on the cap ( 30 ) to be positioned above the hinge part ( 35 ), and   the wedge (K 1 ) passes over the support ring ( 33 ) to be supported by the support step ( 15 ) when the cap is opened, thus straining the cap so as to prevent the support ring ( 33 ) from being idly rotated.   
     
     
         12 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 11 , wherein
 a locking hole ( 151 ) having a shape of a concentric circle is formed in an upper or lower surface of the support step ( 15 ), and   the wedge (K 1 ) protrudes in a form of a hook which is fitted into the locking hole ( 151 ).   
     
     
         13 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein a wedge (K 2 ) is provided on the hinge part ( 35 ) and is supported by the ring stopping step ( 13 ) when the cap is opened so as to prevent the cap from rotating. 
     
     
         14 . The container with the anti-loss and anti-idle-rotation cap according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the cap ( 30 ) further comprises an indication ring ( 39 ) under the support ring ( 33 ),   the indication ring integrally coupled to the support ring via the bridges ( 37 ) which are severed when the cap is opened.
