Description

本発明は、医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品、加工食品等の容器に利用される胴部の径がφ13mm未満である閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ及びその開封キャップに関する。   The present invention relates to a closed-type laminate tube having a diameter of a barrel portion of less than φ13 mm and an opening cap thereof used for containers such as pharmaceuticals, quasi drugs, cosmetics, and processed foods.

チューブ容器の主要マーケットの一つとして、医薬品向け市場がある。一般に医薬品分野では、チューブの品質や機能・性能に対する要求の厳しさに加え、この分野独特のニーズが見受けられる。例えば、チューブ容器の仕様としては、改ざん防止・安全性の点から破壊開封型の封緘構造が所望されており、閉鎖型チューブが採用されている。
またチューブ容器の材料としては、金属製(特にアルミチューブ)のものと樹脂製(特にラミネートチューブ)のものに大別できる。前者はバリヤ性に優れるが、反面可撓性に劣り皺ができると元に戻らず使い難く、また破れ易いため、使用性、携帯性に劣る。さらに円筒外形状を作り上げてから印刷する関係上、ドライオフセット印刷によるものが大半を占め、美しい細かい印刷が出来難いといった欠点を有することから、医薬品分野では近年ラミネートチューブへの転換が図られている。このような観点から医薬品分野におけるチューブ容器としては、閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ(メンブランチューブ)が利用されている。
One of the main markets for tube containers is the pharmaceutical market. In general, in the pharmaceutical field, in addition to the strict requirements for tube quality, function and performance, there are unique needs in this field. For example, as a specification of a tube container, a destructive opening type sealing structure is desired from the viewpoint of tampering prevention and safety, and a closed tube is employed.
The material of the tube container can be roughly divided into a metal (particularly aluminum tube) and a resin (particularly laminated tube). The former is excellent in barrier properties, but on the other hand, it is inferior in usability and portability because it is inferior in flexibility and is difficult to use if it is wrinkled and is easy to tear. In addition, because of the disadvantage that it is difficult to make beautiful fine printing due to the fact that most of the printing by dry offset printing occupies the relationship between printing after creating the shape outside the cylinder. In recent years, conversion to laminate tubes has been attempted in the pharmaceutical field. . From such a viewpoint, a closed laminate tube (membrane tube) is used as a tube container in the pharmaceutical field.

閉鎖型ラミネートチューブの閉鎖膜は、チューブの構造上、メンブランカップの深絞り成形への適性を含む製造工程上、及び耐内容物性を含んだ機能上の理由から、アルミ箔とプラスチックを貼り合わせた積層材が用いられており、アルミ単体から構成されているアルミチューブの閉鎖膜と比べて破断応力が高く開封しずらい性質を有している。すなわち閉鎖膜は、図9(a)に示すような、積層シートを打ち抜き・絞り加工して得たカップ状の閉鎖膜62を、図9(b)に示すようにチューブ容器の口先部64から肩部65の内側に装着される。ここで閉鎖膜には、過酷な深絞り成形に耐え、加工の際破断しない閉鎖膜用積層材の開発は技術的に難しく、この安定性を高めるほど、開封しにくい閉鎖膜62になるというトレードオフの関係を内在している。このような開封時の問題に対しては、チューブ側にいわゆる食込部66を設け、閉鎖膜62とチューブ本体(頭部)との接着力が開封の際に、口部72より侵入する開封用突起70によって閉鎖膜62が受ける応力抵抗に負けて脱落しないよう、しっかりと保持する対策がとられている(特許文献1参照。)。   For the closure membrane of the closed laminate tube, aluminum foil and plastic were bonded together for reasons of the structure of the tube, the manufacturing process including suitability for deep drawing of the membrane cup, and functional properties including resistance to physical properties. A laminated material is used, and it has a property that the breaking stress is high and it is difficult to open it as compared with a closing film of an aluminum tube made of aluminum alone. That is, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the closing membrane is formed from a cup-like closing membrane 62 obtained by punching and drawing a laminated sheet from the mouth portion 64 of the tube container as shown in FIG. 9 (b). Attached to the inside of the shoulder 65. Here, it is technically difficult to develop a closure film laminate material that can withstand severe deep drawing and does not break during processing, and the higher the stability, the more the closure film 62 becomes a closure film 62 that is difficult to open. An off relationship is inherent. In order to solve such a problem at the time of opening, a so-called biting portion 66 is provided on the tube side, and the adhesive force between the closing film 62 and the tube main body (head) enters from the mouth portion 72 when opening. Measures are taken to firmly hold the projection film 70 so that it does not fall off due to the stress resistance received by the closing film 62 (see Patent Document 1).

一方、開封針については、積層材製閉鎖膜の場合、それまでアルミチューブ用として使われてきた単なる円錐形の針では閉鎖膜が伸びて破りきれないため、専用のブレード針が採用されている(特許文献2)。この針の機能は先ず針先のブレード(切り歯)によって閉鎖膜を放射状に分断し(第一段階)、次にその分断された閉鎖膜が内容物の吐出により口先側に押し戻されて開口部分を塞いでしまうことのないように、針の円柱基部によって分断片を押し広げて定着固定する(第二段階)働きがある。すなわち第一段階で閉鎖膜を切り裂く第一抵抗と、第二段階で切り裂いた閉鎖膜分断片を外側に押し広げて定着・固定する第二抵抗に分かれており、通常、第一抵抗値よりも第二抵抗値のほうが高い数値を示す。   On the other hand, as for the opening needle, in the case of the laminated membrane made of laminated material, the mere conical needle that has been used for aluminum tubes until now does not stretch and cannot be completely broken, so a dedicated blade needle is adopted. (Patent Document 2). The function of this needle is to first divide the closure membrane radially with the blade (cutting teeth) of the needle tip (first stage), and then the divided closure membrane is pushed back to the mouth side by the discharge of the contents to open the opening portion. In order to prevent the blockage from being blocked, there is a function (second stage) of fixing and fixing the divided piece by spreading it by the cylindrical base of the needle. In other words, it is divided into a first resistance that tears the closure membrane in the first stage, and a second resistance that spreads and fixes the closure membrane segment that was cut in the second stage outward. The second resistance value is higher.

他方、医薬品分野等においては、内容物が高価であり、中身を少量ずつ使用し、経年劣化等の安全性が重要視されることから小容量チューブが所望されている。このような需要から小容量のアルミチューブとしては、胴径φ11.1mmのものが利用されている。一方、ラミネートチューブとしては、現在のところ胴径φ13mmのものが最小となっている。胴径φ13mmのチューブは、通常、内容量5cc容量のものに用いられるが、小容量チューブの代替品として、φ13mmのラミネートチューブに2〜3ccの内容物を充填した製品が市販されているのが現状である。
しかしながらφ13mmのラミネートチューブにおいて、その内容量を2〜3ccにすると、チューブの胴長を短くする必要が生じる。そのため内容物を充填する汎用の充填機に適さないという問題があった。また胴長を長くしたまま充填すると空隙率が増加し、内容物の変質等の問題が生じた。さらにφ13mmのチューブにおいては、φ11.1mmのチューブに比較して、肩裏部分におけるバルク残量の割合が高いといった問題点が指摘されていた。そのためφ13mm未満のラミネートチューブの利用が所望されている。
On the other hand, in the pharmaceutical field etc., a small capacity tube is desired because the contents are expensive, the contents are used little by little, and safety such as aging is regarded as important. Due to such demand, a small-capacity aluminum tube having a body diameter of 11.1 mm is used. On the other hand, as a laminate tube, a tube having a trunk diameter of 13 mm is the smallest at present. A tube with a body diameter of φ13 mm is usually used for a tube with an internal capacity of 5 cc, but as an alternative to a small capacity tube, a product in which a φ13 mm laminate tube is filled with contents of 2 to 3 cc is commercially available. Currently.
However, in a laminated tube having a diameter of 13 mm, if the internal volume is set to 2 to 3 cc, it is necessary to shorten the tube length of the tube. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not suitable for a general-purpose filling machine for filling the contents. Moreover, when the length was filled with a long cylinder, the porosity increased, causing problems such as deterioration of the contents. Furthermore, in the φ13 mm tube, a problem has been pointed out that the ratio of the bulk remaining amount in the shoulder back portion is higher than that of the φ11.1 mm tube. Therefore, utilization of a laminate tube having a diameter of less than 13 mm is desired.

小容量チューブとしてφ13mm未満のラミネートチューブを用いるためには、閉鎖膜の開封時における問題を解決しなければならない。まずラミネートチューブに用いられる閉鎖膜の材料は、チューブ本体と同様な積層材でなければならない。ラミネートチューブにおいて頭部と閉鎖膜を一体化するためには溶融・潜熱による熱融着によらなければならないため、アルミ単体では接着できない。第二にポリエチレン等の多層構造からなるラミネートチューブはアルミチューブより破断応力が高く、開口しにくいことが知られている。
φ13mm未満のラミネートチューブは、φ13mm以上のチューブと比較して、チューブ径、胴長、キャップの大きさ、開口部分の大きさ、キャップの開封針の大きさの全てが格段に小さく、持ちにくく、扱いにくく、把持力も加えにくい。
In order to use a laminate tube having a diameter of less than 13 mm as a small-capacity tube, the problem at the time of opening the closing membrane must be solved. First, the material of the closing membrane used for the laminated tube must be a laminated material similar to that of the tube body. In order to integrate the head and the closure membrane in the laminated tube, it must be based on heat fusion by melting and latent heat, so it cannot be bonded with aluminum alone. Secondly, it is known that a laminate tube having a multilayer structure such as polyethylene has a higher breaking stress than an aluminum tube and is difficult to open.
Laminate tube less than φ13mm is much smaller than tube of φ13mm and larger in tube diameter, trunk length, cap size, opening size, cap opening needle size, and difficult to hold. Difficult to handle and difficult to apply gripping force.

実際にφ11.1mmのラミネートチューブを用いて開封試験をしたところ、ブレードによる閉鎖膜の分断(第一段階)で開封を止めてしまう使用者が複数人確認された。例えば標準サイズといわれるφ25mmのラミネートチューブ(口径φ8.0/針径φ7.6)の場合は、容器やキャップが持ちやすく、力も入れやすく、また開封状態を目視で確認しやすいため、第一段階で開封を止める使用者は確認されなかった。
これは第一段階で生じる第一の応力抵抗に比べて、第二段階の初期に生じる第二の応力抵抗が大きいことに起因する。すなわちφ11.1mm等の小容量ラミネートチューブでは、第二の応力抵抗と第一の応力抵抗との差が使用者に与える影響が大きく、第二の応力抵抗によって生じる感触を、使用者が開封が終ったものと勘違いすることから、上述の問題が生じることが分かった。このように第一段階のみで開封を止めた場合は、開口径が極めて小さいものとなり、内容物の絞り出しが十分にできない問題に繋がる。特に医薬品を使用する患者あるいは高齢者において、開封が十分に行えないことが危惧される。
実願昭60−158584号 実用新案登録第1927686号
When an opening test was actually performed using a laminate tube having a diameter of 11.1 mm, a plurality of users were confirmed who stopped the opening by dividing the closing membrane with a blade (first stage). For example, in the case of a 25 mm diameter laminated tube (caliber φ8.0 / needle diameter φ7.6), which is said to be a standard size, the container and cap are easy to hold, force is easily applied, and the unsealed state is easy to check visually. The user who stopped opening was not confirmed.
This is due to the fact that the second stress resistance generated in the initial stage of the second stage is larger than the first stress resistance generated in the first stage. That is, in a small-capacity laminated tube of φ11.1 mm or the like, the difference between the second stress resistance and the first stress resistance has a great effect on the user, and the user can open the feel caused by the second stress resistance. From the misunderstanding, it was found that the above problems occur. Thus, when opening is stopped only in the first stage, the opening diameter becomes extremely small, which leads to a problem that the contents cannot be squeezed out sufficiently. In particular, there is a concern that patients who use pharmaceuticals or elderly people cannot fully open the package.
Actual application No. 60-1558584 Utility Model Registration No. 1927686

本発明は、上記した従来技術の欠点を除くためになされたものであって、その目的とするところは、稜線部を有する錐状体の尖頭と基部上面における開封時の応力抵抗差を小さくすることにより、φ13mm未満の閉鎖型ラミネートチューブの開口を容易かつ適切に行えるようにすることである。   The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-described disadvantages of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to reduce the difference in stress resistance at the time of opening between the tip of the cone having the ridge line and the upper surface of the base. By doing so, it is possible to easily and appropriately open a closed laminate tube having a diameter of less than 13 mm.

本発明は、前記課題を解決するため以下の構成を採用した。
(1)口先部に通路閉鎖膜を設けた胴部の径がφ13mm未満であるラミネートチューブ用の開封キャップにおいて、ラミネートチューブの口先部に螺着する螺子部と、仕切部材を設けることによって該螺子部の反対側に凹部を区画形成し、該仕切部材の凹部側の中央に尖頭状の開封用突起を立設し、当該開封用突起がラミネートチューブにおける口先部の口径よりやや小さい径を有するものであり、かつ該開封用突起は角度のある肩部を有した基部と、該基部の肩部より立ち上がる3本又は4本の稜線部を有した錐状体を備えたことを特徴とする閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ用開封キャップである。
The present invention employs the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
(1) In an opening cap for a laminated tube in which a diameter of a body portion provided with a passage closing film at the tip portion is less than φ13 mm, a screw portion that is screwed to the tip portion of the laminate tube and a partition member are provided to provide the screw. A concave portion is formed on the opposite side of the portion, a point-like opening projection is erected in the center of the concave portion of the partition member, and the opening projection has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the tip of the laminated tube The opening protrusion has a base portion having an angled shoulder portion and a cone-shaped body having three or four ridges rising from the shoulder portion of the base portion. An opening cap for a closed laminate tube.

本発明に係るキャップは、開封の際にはチューブの口先部との螺合を外し、反転して錐状体の尖頭をチューブの開口部より挿入し、内部の閉鎖膜を穿孔する機能を有する。閉鎖膜は、3本又は4本の稜線部によって切り裂かれ、小片に分断される。その後、開封用突起の基部によって小片の1つ1つは口先部の裏側へ押し付けられるため、内容物をチューブから押し出すときに押し戻されて、通路を塞ぎ、開封口を狭くするようなことがなくなる。   The cap according to the present invention has a function of unscrewing the tip of the tube at the time of opening, inverting and inserting the tip of the cone-shaped body through the opening of the tube, and perforating the inner closure membrane. Have. The closing membrane is cut by three or four ridges and divided into small pieces. Thereafter, each of the small pieces is pressed against the back side of the mouth portion by the base of the opening projection, so that it is not pushed back when the contents are pushed out of the tube to close the passage and narrow the opening. .

更に上記のように開封用突起の肩部に角度を持たせることによって、錐状体の尖頭が閉鎖膜を穿孔する際に生じる第一の応力抵抗と、肩部が閉鎖膜を広げる際に生じる第二の応力抵抗との差を小さくすることができる。すなわち図10に示すように従来の開封用突起の肩部では第二の応力抵抗は基部の上面全体(斜線部)において生じることになるが、請求項1に係る発明の構成によれば錐状体の根元部分のやや外側の円周面で第二の応力抵抗が生じることになる。その後、肩部の曲面によって閉鎖膜が押し開かれるので、肩部の曲成面に沿って閉鎖膜にかかる応力抵抗を分散することができる。   Further, by providing an angle to the shoulder portion of the opening projection as described above, the first stress resistance generated when the cone tip perforates the closure membrane and the shoulder portion when expanding the closure membrane. The difference from the generated second stress resistance can be reduced. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the shoulder portion of the conventional opening projection, the second stress resistance is generated on the entire upper surface (shaded portion) of the base portion. A second stress resistance is generated on the outer circumferential surface slightly outside the base of the body. Thereafter, the closure membrane is pushed open by the curved surface of the shoulder portion, so that the stress resistance applied to the closure membrane can be dispersed along the curved surface of the shoulder portion.

(2)前記肩部の角度を60°以上90°未満としたことを特徴とする請求項1に記載された閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ用開封キャップである。
図1は、凹部側の中央に立設された開封用突起の一例を示す図である(但し本発明はこの形態に限定されるわけではない。)。図1(a)は、3本の稜線部を有した錐状体を備えた開封用突起の平面図である。図1(b)は、(a)図における(b)−(b)矢視断面図である。さらに肩部の角度とは、図1(b)に示すように肩部1におけるP点(錐状体2の根元部の凹部を通る内接円の円周)と、基部より肩部の傾斜が始まる点とを円周上対向する2本の線で結ぶことによって形成される角度Aのことである。
(2) The opening cap for a closed laminate tube according to claim 1, wherein the shoulder has an angle of 60 ° or more and less than 90 °.
FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of an opening projection erected in the center on the concave side (however, the present invention is not limited to this form). Fig.1 (a) is a top view of the protrusion for opening provided with the cone-shaped body which has three ridgeline parts. FIG. 1B is a sectional view taken along arrows (b)-(b) in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, the angle of the shoulder is a point P in the shoulder 1 (the circumference of the inscribed circle passing through the concave portion of the base of the cone 2) and the inclination of the shoulder from the base. It is an angle A formed by connecting the point where the start of the line starts with two lines that oppose each other on the circumference.

肩部の角度を60°以上とするのは、キャップの凹部の深さからみて設計上好ましいからである。すなわち閉鎖膜の開封口を大きくするために、少なくとも基部の根元近傍はチューブ本体の口先部の口径と略同じ直径を有している必要があるが、60°以下にすると凹部を深く設計する必要が生じる。特に胴径がφ11.1mmのチューブ容器において、凹部の深さを6.0mmとすると、60°未満の場合は、基部の根元から刃先までの長さが凹部の深さと同じか、それ以上になる可能性があり、チューブの保存や使用時に支障をきたすおそれがあった。他方、肩部1の角度を90°未満とするのは、90°を超えると第一の応力抵抗と第二の応力抵抗の差が大きくなってしまい好ましくないからである。   The reason why the shoulder angle is set to 60 ° or more is that the design is preferable in view of the depth of the concave portion of the cap. That is, in order to enlarge the opening of the closure membrane, at least the vicinity of the base of the base needs to have a diameter substantially the same as the diameter of the tip of the tube body, but if it is 60 ° or less, it is necessary to design the recess deeply. Occurs. In particular, in a tube container having a body diameter of φ11.1 mm, if the depth of the recess is 6.0 mm, if the depth is less than 60 °, the length from the base of the base to the blade edge is equal to or greater than the depth of the recess. There is a possibility that it may cause trouble during storage and use of the tube. On the other hand, the reason why the angle of the shoulder portion 1 is less than 90 ° is that when the angle exceeds 90 °, the difference between the first stress resistance and the second stress resistance becomes large, which is not preferable.

(3)ラミネートチューブにおける口先部の口径に対して基部の径が、少なくとも0.3mm以上細い開封用突起を備えたことを特徴とする請求項1又は2に記載された閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ用開封キャップである。
(4)開封用突起の錐状体の先端がラミネートチューブの閉鎖膜を分断した際に生じる第一の抵抗応力と、開封用突起の基部における肩部が開口部を押し広げる際に生じる第二の抵抗応力との差が1.7kgf以下であることを特徴とする前記(1)〜(3)のいずれか一に記載された閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ用開封キャップである。
(3) The opening for a closed laminate tube according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising an opening projection having a base diameter that is at least 0.3 mm narrower than the diameter of the tip of the laminate tube. It is a cap.
(4) The first resistance stress generated when the tip of the cone of the opening projection divides the closing film of the laminate tube, and the second generated when the shoulder at the base of the opening projection expands the opening. The closed cap for a laminated laminate tube according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein a difference from the resistance stress is 1.7 kgf or less.

(5)前記(1)〜(4)のいずれか一に記載された閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ用開封キャップが螺着されたことを特徴とする胴部の径がφ13mm未満の閉鎖型ラミネートチューブである。
閉鎖型ラミネートチューブの製造方法は種々あるが、例えば、特願昭52−12375(胴体部の製造方法及び装置)や特願昭55−94065(頭部の同時成形法及びその装置)等が挙げられる。
(5) A closed laminate tube having a body diameter of less than φ13 mm, wherein the opening cap for a closed laminate tube described in any one of (1) to (4) is screwed. .
There are various methods for producing a closed-type laminated tube, and examples include Japanese Patent Application No. 52-12375 (manufacturing method and apparatus for body part) and Japanese Patent Application No. 55-94065 (simultaneous molding method for head part and apparatus thereof). It is done.

稜線部を有する錐状体の尖頭と基部上面における開封時の応力抵抗差を小さくすることにより、胴部の径がφ13mm未満の閉鎖型ラミネートチューブの開口を容易かつ適切に行えるという効果を奏する。   By reducing the difference in stress resistance at the time of opening between the top of the cone-shaped cone-shaped body and the upper surface of the base, there is an effect that the opening of the closed laminate tube having a body diameter of less than φ13 mm can be easily and appropriately performed. .

The base 28 of the unsealing projection 25 is formed in a columnar shape and has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the tip of the tube (not shown). Further, the shoulder 27 having an angle at the base 28 is bent. The shoulder 27 has an angle of 68 °. The shoulder 27 may be bent as shown in FIG. 3C or may be a flat surface.

かかる肩部27からは4本の稜線部30を有した錐状体32が立ち上がるように形成されている。開封用突起25の先端部は、図3(a)に示すように基本的には円錐状であり、4箇所の凹曲部36によって4本の稜線部30が形成されている。そして図3(c)に示すように、稜線部30は全体的に膨出弧面状に形成されている。この稜線部30はa,b部に分かれ、根元近傍のa部は膨出のアールをつけて安定性を増し、先端近傍のb部は逆のアールをつけて尖鋭化して閉鎖膜を切り裂きやすくするのが好ましい。なお稜線部は直線状であってもよい。   A conical body 32 having four ridge lines 30 is formed to rise from the shoulder 27. The tip of the unsealing projection 25 is basically conical as shown in FIG. 3A, and four ridge lines 30 are formed by four concave curved portions 36. And as shown in FIG.3 (c), the ridgeline part 30 is formed in the bulging arc surface shape as a whole. This ridge line part 30 is divided into a and b parts, and the a part near the root increases the bulge radius to increase stability, and the b part near the tip is sharpened with the opposite radius to easily tear the closure membrane. It is preferable to do this. The ridge line portion may be linear.

(閉鎖型ラミネートチューブの製造)
図4は本発明に係る実施例で用いられた閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ38を示すものである。かかる閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ38は、積層原反に表面印刷を施した後、マンドリルに積層原反を巻き付け、胴体部40をシールし、頭部41をマンドリルの先端で圧縮成形することによって製造された。この際、図示しない閉鎖膜がチューブ容器の口先部裏側に熱融着された。積層原反としては、内層よりポリエチレン−コポリマー−アルミニウム−コポリマー−ポリエチレンからなる多層構造のものを採用した。かかる閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ38に口内軟膏を充填し密封した。なお閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ38の胴部の径はφ11.1mm、開口部の口径はφ3.0mmであった。
(Manufacture of closed laminate tube)
FIG. 4 shows a closed laminated tube 38 used in the embodiment according to the present invention. Such a closed laminate tube 38 is manufactured by performing surface printing on a laminated raw fabric, winding the laminated raw fabric around a mandrill, sealing the body portion 40, and compression-molding the head portion 41 at the tip of the mandrill. . At this time, a closing membrane (not shown) was heat-sealed to the back side of the mouth portion of the tube container. As the laminated raw material, a multilayer structure composed of polyethylene-copolymer-aluminum-copolymer-polyethylene was adopted from the inner layer. The closed-type laminate tube 38 was filled with an oral ointment and sealed. The closed laminate tube 38 had a body diameter of 11.1 mm and an opening diameter of 3.0 mm.

閉鎖膜としては、内層よりPET/AL/PET/L−LDPEを積層した有底カップ状部材を予め製造しておいた。もちろん閉鎖膜の積層構造は、深絞り成形に耐え、成形後の形状維持性が十分であり、頭部材料との熱溶着性を有し、内容物とも適合し、開封用突起によって確実に開封できるものであれば、他の構造を採用しても良い。
このようにして製造された閉鎖型ラミネートチューブ38を4体作成した。
また同様の工程でラミネートチューブ38の胴部径が異なったものを4体作成した。それぞれφ20mm、φ25mm、φ28mm及びφ35mmであった。
As the closing membrane, a bottomed cup-shaped member in which PET / AL / PET / L-LDPE was laminated from the inner layer was manufactured in advance. Of course, the layered structure of the closure membrane can withstand deep drawing, has sufficient shape retention after molding, has heat-weldability with the head material, is compatible with the contents, and is reliably opened by the opening protrusion. If possible, other structures may be adopted.
Four closed-type laminate tubes 38 manufactured in this way were prepared.
In the same process, four laminate tubes 38 having different body diameters were prepared. They were φ20 mm, φ25 mm, φ28 mm, and φ35 mm, respectively.

(試験結果)
以上の試験結果のうちA点とC点における応力抵抗値を図6に示す。図6中、△がA点で測定された第一の応力抵抗値であり、○がC点で測定された第二の応力抵抗値である。図6に示した結果から明らかなように、実施例1、2の方が比較例1、2よりも、第一の応力抵抗値と第二の応力抵抗値の差が小さいことが分かった。また実施例1よりも実施例2の方がより、応力抵抗値の差が小さいことが分かった。さらに実施例1における第一の応力抵抗値と第二の応力抵抗値の抵抗値差は、最大で1.7kgfであった。
(Test results)
FIG. 6 shows stress resistance values at points A and C among the above test results. In FIG. 6, Δ is the first stress resistance value measured at point A, and ◯ is the second stress resistance value measured at point C. As is clear from the results shown in FIG. 6, it was found that Examples 1 and 2 had a smaller difference between the first stress resistance value and the second stress resistance value than Comparative Examples 1 and 2. Further, it was found that the difference in the stress resistance value was smaller in Example 2 than in Example 1. Furthermore, the maximum resistance difference between the first stress resistance value and the second stress resistance value in Example 1 was 1.7 kgf.

また図7にA点〜F点までの応力抵抗値の平均値を線グラフとして示した。△の平均計測点を結んだ線が実施例1の試験結果を示す線グラフであり、□の平均計測点を結んだ線が比較例2の試験結果を示す線グラフである。この図に示すとおりA点における第一の応力抵抗値には、ほとんど差が見られないが、C点における第二の応力抵抗値には差が見られる。実施例1における第一の応力抵抗値の平均は、1.8kgfであり、第二の応力抵抗値の平均値は2.26kgfであった。その差は0.46kgfである。一方、比較例2における第一の応力抵抗値の平均は1.95kgfであり、第二の応力抵抗値の平均は3.59kgfである。その差は1.64kgfである。実施例1の方が比較例2よりも、第一の応力抵抗値と第二の応力抵抗値の差が小さいことが分かった。
(胴径の異なるラミネートチューブとの比較試験)
次に従来のラミネートチューブと実施例1及び実施例2の応力抵抗値を計測した結果を図8に示した。ここで比較例として用いられたチューブは、チューブ胴径φ20mm(比較例3)、胴径φ25mm(比較例4)、胴径φ28mm(比較例5)及び胴径φ35mm(比較例6)である。
Moreover, the average value of the stress resistance value from A point to F point was shown as the line graph in FIG. A line connecting the average measurement points of Δ is a line graph showing the test results of Example 1, and a line connecting the average measurement points of □ is a line graph showing the test results of Comparative Example 2. As shown in this figure, there is almost no difference in the first stress resistance value at point A, but there is a difference in the second stress resistance value at point C. The average of the first stress resistance value in Example 1 was 1.8 kgf, and the average value of the second stress resistance value was 2.26 kgf. The difference is 0.46 kgf. On the other hand, the average of the first stress resistance value in Comparative Example 2 is 1.95 kgf, and the average of the second stress resistance value is 3.59 kgf. The difference is 1.64 kgf. It was found that Example 1 had a smaller difference between the first stress resistance value and the second stress resistance value than Comparative Example 2.
(Comparison test with laminated tubes with different body diameters)
Next, the results of measuring the stress resistance values of the conventional laminate tube and Examples 1 and 2 are shown in FIG. The tubes used as comparative examples here have a tube barrel diameter φ20 mm (Comparative Example 3), a barrel diameter φ25 mm (Comparative Example 4), a barrel diameter φ28 mm (Comparative Example 5), and a trunk diameter φ35 mm (Comparative Example 6).

図8に示した結果から明らかなように、実施例1、2の方が比較例3〜6よりも、第一の応力抵抗値と第二の応力抵抗値の差が小さいことが分かった。
なお比較例3〜6のチューブは開口部の大きいチューブであり、第一の応力抵抗値と第二の応力抵抗値が異なっていても、通常の使用には問題は生じなかった。チューブ胴径φ20mm以上のチューブ容器においては、持ちやすく、力も入れ易く、開封した穴の状態も目で確認しやすいので問題にならないからである。
As is clear from the results shown in FIG. 8, it was found that Examples 1 and 2 had a smaller difference between the first stress resistance value and the second stress resistance value than Comparative Examples 3 to 6.
In addition, the tubes of Comparative Examples 3 to 6 were tubes having a large opening, and even if the first stress resistance value and the second stress resistance value were different, there was no problem in normal use. This is because a tube container having a tube barrel diameter of φ20 mm or more is easy to hold and forceful, and it is easy to visually confirm the state of the opened hole.
