Abstract

A container cap according to the present invention includes a lower cap combined with a container and comprising an opening communicating with an inside of the container; and an upper cap combined with the lower cap to cover the opening. Further, the upper cap includes a cover covering the opening; a rim provided around the cover and partly connected to the cover; a connection part connecting the rim and the cover; and a handle connected to the rim and having a round shape, which curves outwards from a center of the cover, viewed on a plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A container cap comprising:
a lower cap combined with a container and comprising an opening communicating with an inside of the container; and
an upper cap combined with the lower cap to cover the opening,
wherein the upper cap comprises a cover covering the opening; a rim provided around the cover and partly connected to the cover; a connection part connecting the rim and the cover; and a handle connected to the rim and having a round shape, which curves outwards from a center of the cover, viewed on a plane including the top surface of the cover,
wherein the handle comprises at least one pair of convex parts each of which curves outwards from the center of the cover, viewed on the plane, and a distance on the plane between an innermost circumferential edge of the at least one pair of convex parts and an outermost circumferential edge of the cover is longer than a distance on the plane between an innermost circumferential edge of the rim and the outermost circumferential edge of the cover.

2. The container cap of claim 1 , wherein the rim and the handle are formed in a single body.

3. The container cap of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of handles are provided, and each of two handles facing each other among the handles comprises a plurality of convex parts.

4. The container cap of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of connection parts are provided, and the connection parts are spaced away from the handles, facing each other.

5. The container cap of claim 1 , wherein the upper cap further comprises a first coupling part extending from a lower part of the cover and combined with the lower cap, and the lower cap comprises a cut part formed with the opening; a second coupling part surrounding the cut part and combined with the first coupling part; and a packing part combined with a discharge hole of the container and spaced away from the second coupling part to provide a space into which the first coupling part is inserted.

6. The container cap of claim 5 , wherein the upper cap further comprises a first screw thread provided on an inside of the first coupling part, and the lower cap further comprises a second screw thread provided on an outside of the second coupling part and combined with the first screw thread.

7. The container cap of claim 5 , further comprising an auxiliary packing part facing the packing part with the discharge hole of the container disposed therebetween, and the discharge hole of the container is interposed between the packing part and the auxiliary part.

8. The container cap of claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary packing part comprises holes defined by partly removing the auxiliary packing part.

9. The container cap of claim 1 , further comprising a covering part covering the opening.

10. The container cap of claim 9 , wherein a width of an open side of the opening is narrower toward one side.

11. The container cap of claim 1 , wherein the rim and the handle are bent on the connecting part as an axis in a direction slanting to the cover.
