Bottle cap for cutting seal attached to spout of bottle

Abstract

Disclosed is a bottle cap for cutting a seal attached to a spout of a bottle to seal an opening of a bottle. A recess recessed to have a width corresponding to a thickness of the spout is formed at a portion of an outer surface of the bottle cap, and a cutter for cutting the seal attached to the spout while the recess is engaged with an end of the spout is integrally formed with the bottle cap to protrude from a bottom surface of the recess. Accordingly, a user can clearly remove a seal by an easy way without a separate tool, and an airtight sealing of a bottle is guaranteed after the seal is removed.

1 . A bottle cap for cutting a seal attached to a spout to seal an opening defined in the spout of a bottle, wherein a recess recessed to have a width corresponding to a thickness of the spout is formed at a portion of an outer surface of the bottle cap, and a cutter for cutting the seal attached to the spout while the recess is engaged with an end of the spout is integrally formed with the bottle cap to protrude from a bottom surface of the recess. 
     
     
         2 . The bottle cap of  claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed at a lower end edge of the bottle cap. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle cap of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the recess is formed to be inclined with respect to a lateral surface of the bottle cap. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle cap of  claim 2 , wherein the cutter is formed at a location adjacent to a lateral surface of the recess. 
     
     
         5 . The bottle cap of  claim 2 , wherein a pair of cutters are formed at locations adjacent to opposite lateral surfaces of the recess, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle cap of  claim 2 , wherein a plate surface of the cutter is curved to correspond to a curvature of the spout. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle cap of  claim 2 , wherein a plate surface of the cutter is inclinedly formed such that a tip end of a direction of movement of the cutter is attached to an inner surface of the spout while the recess is engaged with an end of the spout. 
     
     
         8 . The bottle cap of  claim 2 , wherein the cutter is formed such that a height of the cutter from the bottom surface is lower than a depth of the recess. 
     
     
         9 . The bottle cap of  claim 2 , wherein a surface for cutting the seal is inclinedly formed to define a right angle with respect to a plate surface of the seal while the cutter moves along the inner surface of the spout in a state in which the recess is engaged with an end of the spout. 
     
     
         10 . The bottle cap of  claim 6 , wherein the cutter extends from a lateral surface of the recess toward a lateral side. 
     
     
         11 . The bottle cap of  claim 10 , wherein a tip end of the cutter is curved to be inclined with respect to a direction of the plate surface of the spout when being moved such that the recess is engaged with the spout. 
     
     
         12 . The bottle cap of  claim 1 , wherein a pair of protrusions are formed on the outer surface of the bottle cap, and the recess is defined between the pair of protrusions by the protrusions. 
     
     
         13 . The bottle cap of  claim 12 , wherein the pair of protrusions are formed on an outer surface of the bottle cap. 
     
     
         14 . The bottle cap of  claim 1 , wherein an upper edge of the recess is formed to be inclined with respect to a lower end surface of the bottle cap. 
     
     
         15 . The bottle cap of  claim 7 , wherein the cutter extends from a lateral surface of the recess toward a lateral side. 
     
     
         16 . The bottle cap of  claim 8 , wherein the cutter extends from a lateral surface of the recess toward a lateral side. 
     
     
         17 . The bottle, cap of  claim 9 , wherein the cutter extends from a lateral surface of the recess toward a lateral side.
