  • Patent number: 8820554
    Abstract: A vessel cap is comprised of a body mounted at a vessel inlet through which a liquid material stored in a vessel is discharged outwardly and having a certain space therein. A pressing plate is disposed in the body to be movable in upper and lower directions. A cutter is formed at an edge of a lower surface of the pressing plate in a circumferential direction for penetrating a sealing member when the pressing plate is pressed and which cuts the sealing member when the body is rotated. A hooking member downwardly protrudes at the lower surface of the pressing plate for storing the sealing member cut by the cutter in the body. A connection portion is formed between an outer circumferential surface of the pressing plate and an inner circumferential surface of the body for guiding the pressing plate to be moved in upper and lower directions.

  • Publication number: 20110220651
    Abstract: Disclosed is a closure of a vessel, comprising: a body mounted to a vessel inlet through which contents inside a vessel are discharged out, and having a space therein; a sealing member mounted in the body, and sealed at the vessel inlet; and a sealing member separating unit formed on an inner circumferential surface of the body, for separating the sealing member from the vessel inlet when the body is opened, and storing the separated sealing member in the body. Under this configuration, once the closure of a vessel is opened, the sealing member is detached from the vessel inlet thus to be stored in the closure of a vessel. Accordingly, the sealing member need not be additionally removed, thereby enhancing a user's convenience.

  • Patent number: 6422423
    Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a cap for liquid containers. The cap consists of a mounting part mounted to the mouth of a container, a liquid discharging part extending from the top of the mounting part upwardly. In this liquid discharging part, a liquid outlet opening and an air inlet opening are formed at opposite positions of the sidewall, while a partition wall extends from the top wall downward, thus partitioning the interior of the part into a liquid passage and an air passage. An openable top cover, connected to a side of the mounting part, covers the liquid discharging part. When liquid is discharged from the container through the liquid outlet opening, atmospheric air is smoothly introduced into the container through the air inlet opening without causing uneven flow or violent gush of the outlet liquid.
