Description: A SOFT DRINK BOTTLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a soft drink bottle having a cap capable of using as a cup, more particularly to a soft drink bottle having a cap with which any alteration of the bottle contents can be kept in check and also the bottle is sealed, in which the cap can be used as a cup. Description of the Prior Art In recent years, varions investigations to unify a respective bottle and cup have been carried out due to convenience of use. In my earlier design (Korean Utility-model Application, dated Oct. 5, 1989, Laid-Open No. -19188/1990) , a soft drink bottle having a cap in which the cap can be used as a cup is disclosed. As a screw-type concave is formed in the lower inside of the cap, however, the flow of contents(soft drink)can be obstructed by the screw-type concave when the cap is used as a cup. Moreover, the remaining contents in the screw-type concave can flow unsanitary onto bottle body when the cap is set on the bottle after being used as a cup and the contents can be altered easily because the cap is set simply on the bottle body. And, in my another earlier design (Korean Utility-model Application, dated May 30, 1990, Application No. 7806/1990), • it is described that a label having a cutting line -formed on the joining part of bottle body and cap of the bottle is wound round the bottle so as to prevent the contents from altering. But, although the effectiveness to protect the contents of bottle is some high, in that state, either the cutting part is folded or the label is tore from the cutting line when the cap is opened so as to use, therefore, the bottle has a weakness in appearance or sanitation due to stain on the outside of the bottle. SUHMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a soft drink bottle having a cap with which any alteration of the bottle contents can be kept in check so that the-contents can be preserved in safety, and the cap has functions of sealing and cupping. The above described object is achieved by providing a soft drink bottle such as follows : A soft drink bottle comprises a bottle, a cap in which screw-type, one step pressing type or pressing and turning type concave is formed upper inside of the cap, and a cutting band formed on the joining part of the bottle body and the cap so that neither the cutting part is folded or the label is tore from the cutting line when the cap is opened so as to use and appearance of the bottle can be arranged sanitary. The advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings showing preferred embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 show a combined or separated perspective and a cross section of a bottle according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, several square columns la and connecting part 2 are formed around a bottle body 1 and at the top end of the above square column la respectively. Upward surface of the connecting part 2 comprises a round shape body 5 having bottle neck 4 provided with entrance 3 and several projections 6 are positioned on the bottle neck 4, therefore, the lower parts 7 than the projection parts exist among the projections. A cap 8 which can be used as a cup comprises round inclined square column 8a which can be coupled up the square column la of the bottle body 1, and round inclined inner surface 10 in accord with round shape body 5 below a roof 9 of the cap 8. The number 23 in Fig. 3 indicates liquid soft drink which is the contents of the bottle. As shown in Fig. 4, several projections 11 are positioned on the upper side of the inner surface 10 and convex 13 extended from ceiling part 12 (bottom part in the case of being used as a cup) forms concave 14. Meanwhile, a label 18 is stuck on and around a connecting part 2 of the cap 8 and the bottle body 1 when they are unified , so that any alteration of the bottle contents is impossible and the producer can advertise in the label 18, and a cutting band 17 provided with a strap 16 is formed on the connecting part 2 so as to take off the cutting band 17 along the cutting line 15 and 15a when the user wants to open the cap 8. As described in the above, in a soft drink bottle according to the present invention, the cap 8 is shut on the bottle body 1 by pressing and turning the cap 8. To be more particular, as the projection 11 positioned on the inner surface 10 of the cap 8 passes between two projections (that is the lower part 7) by pressing the roof 9, at the same time, the upper end of the entrance 3 is brought into contact with the concave 14 of the ceiling part 12. And then, the upper part of the projection 11 positioned on the inner surface 10 is put on the lower part of the projection 6 by turning the cap 8 to close as shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 7 to Fig. 10 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention. According to the embodiment, an outer hoop 19 formed around the bottle neck 4 serves as a partner with an inner hoop 20 of the inner surface 10 in the case of closing the cap 8. In this case, by one step pressing, the inner hoop 20 of the cap 8 goes forcibly over the outer hoop 19 of the round shape body 5 so that the cap 8 is closed on condition that the top end of the entrance 3 is contacted with the concave 14. On the other hand, another embodiment of the present invention is described in Fig. 11 to Fig. 13. As an outer spiral hoop 21 is formed around the bottle neck 4, grooves 21a exist between upper and lower spiral hoop. Therefore, an inner spiral hoop 22 projected on the upper site of the inner surface 10 comes in contact with the groove 21a when the cap 8 turns round for closing or opening it. In any of the above described embodiments, the label stuck on and around the connecting part 2 of the cap 8 and bottle body 1 when they are combined after stuffing with any contents into the bottle can allow advertisement thereon and check any alteration in the contents of the bottle. Accordingly, when the user attempts to open the bottle, the cap 8 can be easily opened by being slightly turned or pulled right of left. As described in the foregoing, in the soft drink bottle having a cap with combined use of a cup of the present invention, the cap can be easily opened and closed, the contents of the bottle can be safely preserved and the convenience of using can be accomplished due to the combination of a bottle and a cup in a body. Therefore, the soft drink bottle of the present invention can be used in various fields.
