[0002] The present application claims priority to Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 201720443564.1, entitled "A decorative cover and a bottle cap and bottle body structure comprising the same". TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of food containers. More particularly, it relates to a decorative cover and a bottle cap and bottle body structure comprising the same. BACKGROUND

[0004] Many bottled products on the market, especially those produced using standard bottle openings, have limited variability in the bottle caps that can be used directly with the bottle due to production process limitations, and cannot meet the demand for product appearance diversity. Therefore, a decorative cover is used in commercially available products, i.e., a cover is added to the sealing cap of the bottle, which is also referred to as a decorative cover. The main function of the decorative cover is to cooperate with the overall design of the bottle to provide diversity in product appearance.

[0005] In high-speed production lines, some water or liquid produced during the production process is often left on the bottle or outside the sealing cap after sealing, and even if drying devices are used during production, they cannot completely remove the water or liquid. At this time, if a decorative cover is added, the water or liquid residue will be sealed between the inner sealing cap and the decorative cover, or between the bottle and the decorative cover. During the product shelf life, the residual water or liquid generates an unpleasant odor, directly affecting product quality.

Like components are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the specific description below is illustrative rather than limiting, and should not limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] According to one aspect of the present application, in order to solve the problem that the existing decorative cover and the bottle body or the sealing cover form a closed space, and there is a lack of air circulation, and thus moisture or liquid residue produces odor. Referring to Figs. 1 to 4, the present application provides a decorative cover, which comprises a cover body 1; the cover body 1 comprises a top cover 11, and an annular side wall 12 with an inwardly tapered waist line.

[0052] The side wall 12 comprises an avoiding structure 121 on the inner surface of the side wall 12 for avoiding the edge of the bottle body support ring; and a groove 122 on the bottom edge of the inner surface of the side wall 12;

[0053] The avoiding structure 121 and the corresponding outer side wall of the bottle body form a gap cavity.

[0054] The top of the groove 122 is connected with the gap cavity, and the bottom of the groove 122 is provided through the bottom surface of the side wall 12. Preferably, the decorative cover is integrally injection molded.

[0055] The gap is left between the avoiding structure 121 on the side wall 12 of the cover body 1 and the inherent support ring of the bottle mouth, and the gap cavity is formed between the avoiding structure 121 and the corresponding outer side wall surface of the bottle body. The gap cavity is formed between the side wall 12 and the bottle body, and the air circulation is realized between the decorative cover and the sealing cover or between the decorative cover and the bottle body, so that the residual moisture can be quickly dried. In addition, referring to Fig. 2, in the embodiment, the avoiding structure is located below the inner concave surface end of the inner side surface of the side wall 12, so that the gap cavity for air circulation is formed between the inner side surface of the side wall 12 and the corresponding outer side wall surface of the bottle body. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, based on the purpose of the application, that is, the air circulation between the decorative cover and the bottle body, as long as the structure of the decorative cover body, the shape and position of the avoiding structure on the decorative cover body, and the structure of the bottle body corresponding to the decorative cover body can achieve the above-mentioned purpose, those skilled in the art can make appropriate selection and modification according to actual needs.

[0056] In addition, the design of the groove 122 also provides a channel for the exchange of air in the gap cavity and the outside air.
