A container stopper, and a manufacturing method therefor, capable of reliably preventing adverse influences of various smells entering from outside the container and absorption and adsorption of the flavor of the contents, as well as preventing adverse influences of a core such as cork. The container stopper comprising a core formed of an elastic material and having a liquid-contact surface and an outer peripheral surface continuous with the liquid-contact surface coated with a skin made of a synthetic resin, and the manufacturing method therefor. In the container stopper, the skin is made of a polyester resin or a synthetic resin having a polyester resin as a main component thereof, and the skin is bonded to the liquid-contact surface and the outer peripheral surface of the core through a bonding layer.

There is provided a capsule in which large and sharp burr is not easily formed in such case of unsealing. This capsule comprises a cap portion 1, a skirt portion 2, and a tearable guarantee strip 3. Weakening lines 4 and 5 are formed at a boundary between the tearable guarantee strip 3 and the cap portion 1, and at a boundary between the tearable guarantee strip 3 and the skirt portion 2. The weakening line 5 comprises linear compressed part 8 and saw-tooth-like compressed parts 9. The saw-tooth-like compressed parts 9 are formed so as to serrate from the linear compressed part 8 to the tearable guarantee strip 3 side. The saw-tooth-like compressed parts 9 may be also formed so as to serrate from the linear compressed part 8 to the skirt portion 2 side. The weakening line 5 may be also formed of a plurality of circular arc compressed parts each drawing an arc on the tearable guarantee strip 3 side and disposed with a certain distance. The weakening line 5 may be also formed of circular arc holes instead of circular arc compressed parts. The weakening line 4 may also comprise either linear compressed part 8 and saw-tooth-like compressed parts 9 or circular arc compressed parts only.

A container for separately accommodating a pair of liquids, such as mineral water and whisky, including a main body for accommodating a first liquid, a small cup for accommodating a second liquid, provided with a flange extending from the entire periphery of an upper end of the small cup and a skirt extending downward from the entire periphery of an upper end of the flange, and a flexible lid for liquid-tightly sealing an upper free opening of the small cup. The small cup is fit into an upper free opening of the main body engaging the flange and the skirt with the entire periphery of an upper end of the main body. The small cup has a specified area, in a bottom wall, at least partially bordered by a score line. The lid has a downward projection. The specified area is broken by pushing down the lid until a tip of the projection presses to break the specified area, whereby the second liquid flows down into the main body and mixes with the first liquid in the main body.

Container for accommodating two kinds of liquids

The present invention provides a method for dispensing beer and a dispenser, which have the same effect as conventional methods of discharging beer under the pressure of carbon dioxide gas, to form a plurality of streams of beer when beer is dispensed from a bottle, barrel, can, beer tap, etc. into a receiver. The present invention further offers a metal container which can easily form a plurality of streams of beer. The beer dispensed according to the present invention has a creamy head of foam and a mild, soft taste.
