DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND ART
The present invention relates to a cap which is to be attached to a tip portion of a writing implement, application implement or the like.
In general, a cap which is to be attached to a writing implement or the like is comparatively small in size. Accordingly, there is a likelihood that an infant mistakenly swallows the cap which in turn chokes the throat. If the throat should be completely blocked by the cap, the infant will probably be suffocated before a doctor arrives on the scene. Accordingly, it is extremely preferable that the cap has a structure in which a passage for respiration can be secured even if the infant swallows the cap by mistake.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-157898, there has been provided a cap having an air passage formed in an outer periphery of the cap for rendering a tip side space of the cap communicate with a tail side space of the cap to secure a respiration passage.
With the above-mentioned cap, it is necessary to provide the air passage in the outer periphery of the cap. Consequently, the structure of the cap is complicated. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the diameter of the cap is unnecessarily large. In particular, in a case where a clip is attached to the cap with an annular body of the clip mounted on the outer periphery of the cap, the cap has a larger diameter, which consequently mars the appearance.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention employs the following structure.
A cap of the present invention comprises a cap body and a clip attached to the cap body, the cap body having a small portion in a tip side thereof, and the small portion having smaller sectional shape than an adjacent portion thereto, the clip having an annular mounting portion mounted on an outside of the small portion of the cap body, and an air passage for communicating a space before the tip side end of the cap with a space between the clip body and the cap body.
With this cap, a passage for respiration can be secured in case of emergency by the air passage formed between the small portion of the cap body and the mounting portion of the clip mounted on the outside of the cap body, and the space formed between the clip body and the cap body.
Also, a cap of the present invention comprises a cap body and a clip attached to the cap body, the cap body having a small portion in a tip side thereof and the small portion having smaller sectional shape than an adjacent portion thereto, the clip having an annular mounting portion mounted on an outside of the small portion of the cap body, a first air passage formed between the mounting portion and the small portion for communicating a space before a tip end of the mounting portion with a space after a tail end of the mounting portion, and a second air passage formed in the cap body for communicating a space before the cap body with a space after the cap body, the first air passage being connected to the second air passage.
With this cap, a passage for respiration can be secured in case of emergency by the first air passage formed between the small portion of the cap body and the mounting portion of the clip mounted on the outside of the cap body, and the second air passage formed in the cap body.
