Abstract

Abstract A cap with valve has a fluid flowing hole formed within a cylindrical cap body installed in an aperture of a container. A valve body is installed within the cap body and has a seal lip opened in an umbrella-like shape which is inserted in the fluid flowing hole and pressed against the periphery of the fluid flowing hole at the rear side in the inserting direction so as to close the fluid flowing hole. The valve body is held by a support plate having rigidity installed within the cap body, and is urged by a biasing means installed within the cap body for urging the support plate so that the valve body is inserted in the fluid flowing hole. A stopper is formed on the support plate and abuts on the cap body and restricts moving of the valve body so that the valve body together with the support plate is prevented from being subjected to pressure beyond a prescribed value to move it further in the inserting direction towards the fluid flowing hole.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 195 words
A valved cap, comprising: (a) a cylindrical cap body installed in closing relation to an aperture of a container and having a fluid flowing hole at inside therethrough, said fluid flowing hole having a periphery; (b) a valve body installed within said cap body and having a seal lip opened in an umbrella-like shape, which seal lip is inserted in said fluid flowing hole from a rear side in an inserting direction and pressed against the periphery of the fluid flowing hole at said rear side in relation to said inserting direction so as to openably close the fluid flowing hole; (c) a rigid support plate installed within said cap body for holding said valve body; (d) a biasing means installed within said cap body for urging said support plate so as to insert said seal lip of the valve body into the fluid flowing hole; and (e) a stopper formed on said support plate for restricting moving of the valve body by abutting on the cap body when the valve body together with the support plate is subjected to pressure beyond prescribed value and moved in the inserting direction to the fluid flowing hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 195 words
A valved cap, comprising: (a) a cylindrical cap body installed in closing relation to an aperture of a container and having a fluid flowing hole at inside therethrough, said fluid flowing hole having a periphery; (b) a valve body installed within said cap body and having a seal lip opened in an umbrella-like shape, which seal lip is inserted in said fluid flowing hole from a rear side in an inserting direction and pressed against the periphery of the fluid flowing hole at said rear side in relation to said inserting direction so as to openably close the fluid flowing hole; (c) a rigid support plate installed within said cap body for holding said valve body; (d) a biasing means installed within said cap body for urging said support plate so as to insert said seal lip of the valve body into the fluid flowing hole; and (e) a stopper formed on said support plate for restricting moving of the valve body by abutting on the cap body when the valve body together with the support plate is subjected to pressure beyond prescribed value and moved in the inserting direction to the fluid flowing hole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 62 words
A valved cap as set forth in claim 1, wherein: the fluid flowing hole of the cap body is formed in a ceiling plate formed on the inner circumference of a cylindrical portion of the cap body, and the stopper of the support plate abuts on the ceiling plate so as to restrict moving of the valve body and the support plate.
