This invention relates to improved Closure Cap.
This invention more particularly relates to improved Closure Cap which can regulate the quantity of liquod content being poured off the Bottle to which the Cap can be secured.
Closure Caps for containers such as Bottles are already Known which are normally fully removed from the mouth of the container before the content can be taken our like liquid can be poured off.
The conventionally available Closures are made of plastic or metal and are generally provided with a temper proof tear-off band at the bottom.
In a few Shampoo containers the top of the Closure which can be press fitted the top surface is provided with a flat hinged plate having a plug portion to engage a hole or opening on the top "surface of the Cap.
The Cap of this Shampoo Bottle is not suited for larger
containers which normally dispense liquids like oils, or solid
substances like granules, powders.
Further the Cap of this Shampoo bottle is a press fit not type and does /suggest anything to other systems.
However there is no flow regulating Cap for larger contai-ners disposing Oils, granules, powders and such material. Moreover, there is no flow regulating cap for containers for pouring-off desired quantities of the contents or to automatically stop the flow even when the container is in an inverted position.
Thus it is an object of this invention to propose a nevel Closure Cap for containers which can be held by a hand which can not only regulate the flow of the contents being poured off but
also stop the flow instantly when desired.

It is another object of this invention to propose such a Closure, which can be operated by the same hand which holds the container.
Yet another object of this invention is to propose such a Closure Cap which can be used on different bottles or containers of the selected size at different times by temporarily replacing a normal Closure of a container.
In short this invention relates to a flow regulating Cum dosing-off cum instant flow-stopping Closure Cap.
These and other objects of this invention will be apparent from the following paragraphs.
Thus according to this invention there is provided an improved Closure Cap comprising a Cap portion adapted to be secured to the mouth of a container, say a bottle from which the contents are to be poured-off, the top of the Cap portion having an opening for allowing the contents of the contained to flow through the Closure Cap being provided with a handle member suitable secured at its intermediate region, on the top surface of the Closure Cap, the leading end of the handle member disposed towards the opening in the Closure Cap and having a Closure plug extending downwards therefrom adapted to sit oiji the opening in the Closure Cap in the inoperative state# there being provided a resilient member such as a spring between the upper surface of the Closure Cap and the under surface of an intermediate region of the handle member the trailing end of the handle extending away from the Closure Cap.
The under surface of the handle member is provided with a curved portion at its intermediate region and the resilient / spring member is held between the top of the arch of the curved portion and the outer surface of the Closure Cap.
The two ends of the spring member are held by suitable extension studs on the Closure Cap and the handle member respectively. The leading end of the handle member is secured by a resilient flat member to the top outer surface of the Closure Cap nearer the mouth.
Prom the under surface of the leading end of the handle is dependingly held a plug member adapted to close the opening on the tpp of the Closure member.
The plug member is provided with a downwardly extending stepped portion around which there is provided a sealing gasket.
The upper and under surfaces of the handle member are provided with reinforcing ribes and the trailing end of the handle iS provided with a flat portion.
This invention will now be more fully described with reference With accompanying drawings wherein.
Figure-1, illustrates a perspective view of the Closure Cap in a closed condition.
Figure—2, illustrates the perspective view of the Cap in an open-operative condition.
Figure-3, illustrates top view of figure 1 and
Figure-4, illustrates the bottom view of Figure-1.
As can be easily seen from the drawings, the Closure Cap II of this invention comprises a bottle mouth engaging cap portion 2 having a open top 3. Adjacent to the top portion of the Cap, there is provided means 4 such as an interally formed hinge member for securing a handle 5.
In the drawings a plastic Closure Cap is illustrated and the djescription deals with the same. Thus the member 4 is an integrally formed plastic hinge. However, it is not out of place to mention that suitable thin spring steel plate can be suitable secured preferably in respect of a metal Closure Cap.
The handle 5 has a a leading end 5 a and a traiting end 5 b with the intermedia.te formed with a suitable curved portion 5 c. At c the underside of the curved portion is positioned one end of a spring member 6 and the other end of the spring member is rested on the outer portion of the Closure Cap at a suitable riagion 2 a. The spring is received non-slippable by means of small extension members 2 b and 5 in the Closure Cap and the handle mismber respectively. For reasons of practical advantage the spring member is secured in an inclined fashion as shown.
The leading end of the handle carries a Closure plug 5 d which can be held to the under side of the leading end of the handle in any suitable manner. For example it can be screwed, welded (metallic case) or integrally formed X plastic cap) or depended in any known manner. The Closure plug is of a size and shape conforming to the size and shape of the opening on the top of the Closure The plug can have a stepped portion 5 e on which a sealing ring 5 f can be held to provide leak proof Closure.
The Closure portion can be provided internally with continuous threads or half threads or press fit provisions or half turn provisions as may be necessary to secure the same on the mouth of container say bottle.
In operation the Closure Cap is secured to the container say a bottle having a liquid like oil.
By tilting the bottle held in a hand, the trailing end of the Closure Cap can be gently pressed. The spring get compressed under tension and the Closure plug is lifted from the opening of the Closure Cap allowing the liquid to pour out.
When desired quantity is taken out, the handle can be released and due to the expansion of the released spring, the plug seals off the Opening in the Closure Cap, even when the bottle is still in the inverted condition.
For special advantages the mouth can be provided with a suitable spout- and the handle provided with reinforcing ribes/on the top and / or bottom surfaces.
Using this Cap, contents like liquids, granules free flowing powders, lotions, emulsions etc. can be poured out. The flow can be regulated by the degree of opening of the mouth and can be instantly closed.
This Cap can also be used on bottles dispensing Cough Syrups, health tonics, liquid medicines or liquors and / or when desired quantity is taken out, the mouth can be instantly closed.
