Side-pressure type safety cap

Abstract

According to the present invention, a side-pressure type safety cap is threaded onto an upper portion of a container body containing contents therein, so as to open/close the outlet of the container. The safety cap of the present invention is configured to be opened only when a joint protrusion and a rotating protrusion contact each other by pressure being applied to the sides of an outer cap. Thus, a child unable to perceive such a configuration cannot open the cap, thereby preventing the child from ingesting harmful substances, and the contents in the container from being unnecessarily wasted.

1 . A side press type safety cap in a safety cap which is thread engaged onto the top of a container body which stores contents, for thereby opening and closing an outlet of the container;
 an inner cap which has threads at its inner surface for surrounding and thread-engaging the top of the container body, a plurality of regularly spaced engaging protrusions formed at its outer surface and surrounding the same;   an outer cap which surrounds and engages the inner cap and has a rotating protrusion which protrudes from between the plurality of the engaging protrusions at each side of the inner surface and is engaged with the engaging protrusion and rotates the inner cap.   
     
     
         2 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging protrusion comprises:
 an engaging protrusion portion protruded forward from the outer surface of the inner cap; and   an bent part which is bent in one direction from an end portion of a protrusion piece.   
     
     
         3 . The cap of  claim 2 , wherein the bent part comprises a slope surface which is gently in the direction of the end portion, going farther from an outer surface of the inner cap. 
     
     
         4 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein at the rotating protrusion is formed a mounting groove for mounting the front end of the engaging protrusion therein. 
     
     
         5 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein at the outer cap is formed a press indication part indicating a pressed portion in the outer surface facing the rotation protrusion for a user to rotate the outer cap while pressing the same.
