上述した型の容器蓋は、容器の口頸部を開封した後に本体を片手で持つことなく喫飲することを可能にし、そしてまた本体の落下及び紛失を防止するために、容器の口頸部を一旦開封した後においても、本体が非破断接続片を介してタンパーエビデント裾部に接続された状態を維持して、容器内容物の消費或いは本体による口頸部の仮閉鎖及び再開封を遂行することを意図したものである。しかしながら、本発明者等の経験によれば、通常の容器蓋においては口頸部から離脱された本体はタンパーエビデント裾部から完全に分離されることから、上述した型の容器蓋であるにも拘わらず、稀ではあるが消費者が勘違いして或いは意図的に口頸部から離脱された本体に過剰な力を加えて非破断接続片を破断し、タンパーエビデント裾部から本体を完全に分離してしまうことがある。そして、かような事態が発生すると、破断された非破断接続片の一部は本体と共にタンパーエビデント裾部から分離されるが、破断された非破断接続片の残部はタンパーエビデント裾部の上縁から延出した状態でタンパーエビデント裾部に残留する。かような状態で消費者が内容物の消費のために容器の口頸部に唇を当接すると、タンパーエビデント裾部に残留している非破断接続片の残部が消費者の唇に刺さり、消費者が不快感を覚え或いは唇を損傷してしまう虞がる。   The container lid of the type described above makes it possible to drink without holding the body with one hand after opening the mouth and neck of the container, and also to prevent the fall and loss of the body, the mouth and neck of the container Even after opening the container, the main body is kept connected to the tamper evident foot through the non-breaking connection piece to consume the contents of the container or temporarily close and re-open the neck and neck by the main body. It is intended to be carried out. However, according to the experience of the present inventors, in the usual container lid, since the main body detached from the mouth and neck is completely separated from the tamper-evidence skirt, it is the container lid of the type described above. Nevertheless, it is rare, but the consumer misunderstood or intentionally exerts excessive force on the body that has been released from the mouth and neck to break the non-rupturing connection piece, and complete the body completely from the tamper evident foot May be separated. Then, when such a situation occurs, a part of the broken non-ruptured connection piece is separated from the tamper evident foot with the main body, but the remaining part of the broken non-broken connection piece is the tamper evidence foot Remains at the edge of the tamper-edent while extending from the upper edge. When the consumer abuts the lip on the mouth and neck of the container for consumption of the contents in such a state, the remainder of the non-rupturing connection piece remaining at the tail of the tamper edent bites the consumer's lip Consumers may feel uncomfortable or may damage their lips.

本発明は、上記事実に鑑みてなされたものであり、その主たる技術的課題は、口頸部から離脱された本体に過剰な力が加えられ非破断接続片が破断されてしまっても、タンパーエビデント裾部に残留している非破断接続片の残部に起因して消費者が不快感を覚え或いは唇を損傷してしまうことが可及的に回避される、新規且つ改良された合成樹脂容器蓋を提供することである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned facts, and the main technical problem is that even if an excessive force is applied to the body released from the mouth and neck and the non-breaking connection piece is broken, A new and improved synthetic resin which avoids as much as possible for the consumer to feel uncomfortable or to damage the lips due to the remainder of the non-ruptured connection piece remaining in the evident foot It is providing a container lid.

本発明者等は、鋭意検討及び実験の結果、非破断接続片におけるタンパーエビデント裾部に接続されている基端近傍に誘導強制破断領域を配設することによって、上記主たる技術的課題を解決することができることを見出した。   The present inventors solved the above-mentioned main technical problems by arranging the induction forcible fracture region in the vicinity of the base end connected to the tamper evident foot of the non-ruptured connection piece as a result of earnest studies and experiments. I found that I could do it.

The extension length of the counterclockwise inclining portion 42b is smaller than the extension length of the clockwise inclining portion 38b.

本発明に従って構成された容器蓋2においては、上記片側非破断接続片36aの反時計方向傾動部38aの基端近傍(即ちタンパーエビデント裾部6に接続された片端近傍)と上記他側非破断接続片36bの時計方向傾動部38bの基端近傍(即ちタンパーエビデント裾部6に接続された片端近傍)に、誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bが配設されていることが重要である。図示の実施形態においては、誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bの各々は、反時計方向傾動部38aの基端近傍及び時計方向傾動部38bの基端近傍に切欠46a及び46bを形成することによって配設されている。切欠46aは、反時計方向傾動部38aの上縁から下方に延びる形態であるのが好ましく、そしてまた図1において左側(上方から見て時計方向側)の上端縁部は上方に向かって左方(上方から見て時計方向)に円滑に延びる凸弧状であるのが好適である。同様に、切欠46bは、時計方向傾動部38bの上縁から下方に延びる形態であるのが好ましく、そしてまた図1において右側(上方から見て反時計方向側)の上端縁部は上方に向かって右方(上方から見て反時計方向)に円滑に延びる凸弧状であるのが好適である。図示の実施形態においては、切欠46a及び46bの各々は略半円形状であり、各々の両側上端縁部は共に上方及び外方に向かって円滑に延びる凸弧状である。所望ならば、切欠46a及び46bを形成することに代えて、反時計方向傾動部38aの基端近傍及び時計方向傾動部38bの基端近傍の各々に局部的薄肉部を形成することによって、誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bを配設することもできる。誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bは、容器の口頸部に対する本体4の開閉(これについては後に詳述する)が50回繰り返し行われても破断することがなく、しかしながら本体4に50N程度の過剰な力が加えられた際には強制的に破断されることが望ましい。かような点から、誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bの断面積はそれらに隣接する領域の断面積の40乃至60%程度であるのが好適であり、特に呼び径28mmの容器蓋においては、誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bの断面積は0.5乃至0.6mm程度の断面積を有するのが好適である。 In the container lid 2 constructed in accordance with the present invention, the vicinity of the base end of the counterclockwise inclined portion 38a of the one-side non-break connection piece 36a (that is, the one end vicinity connected to the tamper evident foot 6) and the other side non-break It is important that the induced forcible fracture regions 44a and 44b are disposed in the vicinity of the base end of the clockwise inclined portion 38b of the fracture connection piece 36b (that is, in the vicinity of one end connected to the tamper evident foot 6). In the illustrated embodiment, each of the induced forcible fracture regions 44a and 44b is disposed by forming the notches 46a and 46b near the proximal end of the counterclockwise tilting portion 38a and near the proximal end of the clockwise tilting portion 38b. It is done. The notch 46a preferably extends downward from the upper edge of the counterclockwise inclining portion 38a, and also in FIG. 1, the upper end edge of the left side (clockwise side as viewed from above) is directed upward toward the left. Preferably, it has a convex arc shape that smoothly extends (clockwise as viewed from above). Similarly, the notch 46b preferably extends downward from the upper edge of the clockwise tilting portion 38b, and also in FIG. 1 the upper end edge of the right side (counterclockwise as viewed from above) is directed upward. Preferably, it has a convex arc shape extending smoothly to the right (counterclockwise as viewed from above). In the illustrated embodiment, each of the notches 46a and 46b is generally semi-circular in shape, and both upper end edges thereof are both convex arcs extending smoothly upward and outward. If desired, instead of forming the notches 46a and 46b, induction may be carried out by forming locally thinned portions near the proximal end of the counterclockwise tilting portion 38a and near the proximal end of the clockwise tilting portion 38b, respectively. Forced fracture regions 44a and 44b can also be provided. The induced forcible fracture regions 44a and 44b are not broken even if the opening and closing of the main body 4 with respect to the mouth and neck of the container (this will be described in detail later) is repeated 50 times. Forced breaking is desirable when a force is applied. From such a point of view, it is preferable that the cross-sectional area of the induced forcible fracture areas 44a and 44b is about 40 to 60% of the cross-sectional area of the area adjacent to them, particularly for container lids having a nominal diameter of 28 mm. The cross sectional area of the forced fracture regions 44a and 44b preferably has a cross sectional area of about 0.5 to 0.6 mm 2 .

図2を参照して説明を続けると、ポリエチレンテレフタレートの如き適宜の合成樹脂或いはガラスから形成することができる容器の口頸部50は全体として円筒形状であり、その上面は開口されている。口頸部50の外周面には、雄螺条52とこの雄螺条52の下方に位置する係止あご部54が形成されている。   Continuing with reference to FIG. 2, the mouth and neck 50 of the container, which may be made of a suitable synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate or glass, is generally cylindrical in shape and its top surface is open. A male screw 52 and a locking jaw 54 positioned below the male screw 52 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck 50.

口頸部50に容器蓋2を装着して口頸部50を密封する際には、口頸部50に容器蓋2を被嵌して閉方向(図2において上方から見て時計方向)に回転せしめ、口頸部50の雄螺条52に容器蓋2の雌螺条22を螺合せしめる。雄螺条52に対する雌螺条22の螺合の進行に応じて容器蓋2は口頸部50に対して漸次下降する。図2に図示する状態まで口頸部50に対して容器蓋2が下降せしめられると、容器蓋2の本体4における天面壁8の内面に形成されている内側環状突条14及び外側環状突条16が夫々口頸部50の内周面及び外周面に密接せしめられ、これによって口頸部50が密封される。容器蓋2のタンパーエビデント裾部6の内周面に配設されている係止手段26は口頸部50の係止あご部54を弾性的に乗り越えて、係止あご部54の下方に位置する。   When the container lid 2 is attached to the mouth and neck 50 and the mouth and neck 50 is sealed, the container lid 2 is fitted on the mouth and neck 50 and the closing direction (clockwise as viewed from above in FIG. 2) Then, the female screw 22 of the container lid 2 is screwed onto the male screw 52 of the mouth and neck 50. The container lid 2 gradually descends with respect to the neck 50 in accordance with the progress of the screwing of the female screw 22 with the male screw 52. When the container lid 2 is lowered relative to the mouth and neck 50 to the state shown in FIG. 2, the inner annular ridge 14 and the outer annular ridge formed on the inner surface of the top wall 8 of the main body 4 of the container lid 2 16 is brought into intimate contact with the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the mouth and neck 50, respectively, whereby the mouth and neck 50 is sealed. The locking means 26 disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the tamper-evident foot portion 6 of the container lid 2 resiliently rides over the locking jaw portion 54 of the mouth and neck portion 50 and under the locking jaw portion 54. To position.

口頸部50を開封する際には、容器蓋2を開方向(図2において上方から見て反時計方向)に回転せしめ、口頸部50の雄螺条52に対する容器蓋2の雌螺条22の螺合を漸次解除する。螺合を漸次解除すると容器蓋2の本体4は開方向に回転せしめられると共に上昇せしめられるが、タンパーエビデント裾部6は係止手段26が口頸部50の係止あご部54に係止して上昇が阻止され、これに起因して破断可能橋絡部24に相当な応力が生成され、破断可能橋絡部24が破断される。しかる後においては、容器蓋2の本体4は開方向への回転と共に上昇し、タンパーエビデント裾部6から上方に漸次離間せしめられる。図1及び図2と共に図3を参照することによって明確に理解される如く、タンパーエビデント裾部6から本体4が漸次上方に離間せしめられると、片側非破断接続片36aの反時計方向傾動部38a及び他側非破断接続片36bの反時計方向傾動部42bは正面から見て反時計方向に旋回され、片側非破断接続片36aの時計方向傾動部42a及び他側非破断接続片36bの時計方向傾動部38bは正面から見て時計方向に旋回され、これに応じて反時計方向傾動部38a、反時計方向傾動部42b、時計方向傾動部42a及び時計方向傾動部38bの鉛直線に対する傾斜角度が漸次低減せしめられる。他側非破断接続片36bの反時計方向傾動部42bは、延在長さが微小である故に傾動角度も微小である。片側非破断接続片36aにおいては反時計方向傾動部38aの延在長さよりも時計方向傾動部42aの延在長さのほうが大きく、他側非破断接続片36bにおいては時計方向傾動部38bの延在長さが反時計方向傾動部42bの延在長さよりも大きいことに起因して、容器蓋2の本体4には図3において左方(上方から見て時計方向)に変位せんとする力が作用するが、本体4の変位は口頸部50によって阻止され、それ故に時計方向傾動部42a及び時計方向傾動部38bには引っ張り応力が生成され、時計方向傾動部42a及び時計方向傾動部38bは幾分弾性的に変形されると共に幾分塑性変形される。本体2の開方向への回転が進行し、口頸部50の雄螺条52に対する容器蓋2の雌螺条22の螺合が完全に解除されると、本体4は口頸部50から離脱される。しかしながら、本体4は片側非破断接続片36a及び他側非破断接続片36bを介して、口頸部50に装着され続けているタンパーエビデント裾部6に接続され続けている故に、容器の口頸部50から離間されることはない。本体4が口頸部50から離脱され、口頸部50による本体4の拘束が解除されると、時計方向傾動部42a及び時計方向傾動部38bの弾性変形は弾性的に復元されるが塑性変形はそのまま残留することに起因して、本体4は口頸部50及びタンパーエビデント裾部6に対して図3において左方(上方から見て時計方向)に変位される。   When opening the neck 50, the container lid 2 is rotated in the opening direction (counterclockwise as viewed from above in FIG. 2), and the female screw of the container lid 2 with respect to the male screw 52 of the neck 50 Gradually release 22 screws. As the screwing is gradually released, the main body 4 of the container lid 2 is rotated and raised in the opening direction, but the locking means 26 of the tamper-evidence foot 6 is locked to the locking jaw 54 of the neck 50 As a result, the rise is prevented, which causes considerable stress to be generated in the breakable bridge 24 and the breakable bridge 24 is broken. After that, the main body 4 of the container lid 2 ascends with the rotation in the opening direction, and is gradually separated upward from the tamper evident foot 6. As is clearly understood by referring to FIG. 3 in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 2, when the main body 4 is gradually spaced upward from the tamper evident foot 6, the counterclockwise tilting portion of the one-side non-breaking connection piece 36a The counterclockwise inclining portion 42b of 38a and the other side non-breaking connection piece 36b is turned counterclockwise as viewed from the front, and the clock of the clockwise direction tilting part 42a of the one side non-breaking connection piece 36a and the other side non-breaking connection piece 36b The direction inclining portion 38b is turned clockwise as viewed from the front, and accordingly, the inclination angles of the counterclockwise inclining portion 38a, the counterclockwise inclining portion 42b, the clockwise inclining portion 42a and the clockwise inclining portion 38b with respect to vertical lines Is gradually reduced. The counterclockwise tilting portion 42b of the other non-breaking connection piece 36b has a minute extension length and therefore has a small tilting angle. In the one-side non-break connection piece 36a, the extension length of the clockwise tilt part 42a is larger than the extension length of the counterclockwise tilt part 38a, and in the other-side non-break connection piece 36b, the extension of the clockwise tilt part 38b A force that causes the main body 4 of the container lid 2 not to displace to the left in FIG. 3 (clockwise as viewed from above) due to the length of stay being greater than the extension length of the counterclockwise inclining portion 42b. Although the movement of the main body 4 is blocked by the neck 50, a tensile stress is generated in the clockwise tilt portion 42a and the clockwise tilt portion 38b, and the clockwise tilt portion 42a and the clockwise tilt portion 38b. Is somewhat elastically deformed and somewhat plastically deformed. When the rotation of the main body 2 in the opening direction proceeds and the screwing of the female screw 22 of the container lid 2 with the male screw 52 of the neck 50 is completely released, the main body 4 is detached from the neck 50 Be done. However, since the main body 4 continues to be connected to the tamper-evidence foot 6 which continues to be attached to the neck 50 via the one-side non-break connection piece 36 a and the other-side non-break connection piece 36 b It is not spaced from the neck 50. When the main body 4 is released from the neck 50 and the restraint of the main body 4 by the neck 50 is released, the elastic deformation of the clockwise tilting portion 42a and the clockwise tilting portion 38b is elastically restored but plastic deformation As a result of remaining as it is, the main body 4 is displaced leftward (clockwise as viewed from above) in FIG. 3 with respect to the mouth neck 50 and the tamper evidence foot 6.

容器蓋2の本体4が口頸部50から離脱された後においては、片側非破断接続片36a及び他側非破断接続片36bとタンパーエビデント裾部10との接続領域、従って反時計方向傾動部38aの片端及び時計方向傾動部38bの片端を中心として本体4を口頸部50から遠ざかる方向に、図4に図示する状態まで旋回せしめる。かくすると、本体4に形成されている突出片34の下端部(先端部)外側面が口頸部の係止あご部54の上面に当接し、本体4のスカート壁10の下端がタンパーエビデント裾部6の外周面に当接又は近接し、これによって本体4は図4に図示する位置に解除自在に保持される。従って、消費者は本体4の存在によって阻害されることなく、容器内に存在する清涼飲料の如き内容物を飲食することができる。   After the main body 4 of the container lid 2 is separated from the neck 50, the connection area between the one side non-break connection piece 36a and the other side non-break connection piece 36b and the tamper evidence foot 10, thus counterclockwise tilting The main body 4 is pivoted in the direction away from the neck 50 around the one end of the portion 38a and the one end of the clockwise tilting portion 38b to the state shown in FIG. Thus, the lower end (tip end) outer surface of the projecting piece 34 formed on the main body 4 abuts on the upper surface of the locking jaw 54 of the neck and neck, and the lower end of the skirt wall 10 of the main body 4 is tamper evident It abuts on or is in close proximity to the outer peripheral surface of the skirt 6, whereby the body 4 is releasably held in the position illustrated in FIG. Therefore, the consumer can eat and drink contents such as a soft drink present in the container without being inhibited by the presence of the main body 4.

内容物の飲食を途中で中断した場合には、図4に図示する位置に保持されている本体4を図4において反時計方向に旋回せしめて再び口頸部50に被嵌し、そして容器蓋2を閉方向に回転せしめて口頸部50の雄螺条52に容器蓋2の雌螺条22を螺合せしめ、かくして容器蓋2を再び図2に図示する状態に位置せしめ、口頸部50を仮密封することができる。本体4のスカート壁10の内周面に形成されている雌螺条22の螺合開始先端が、上方から見て突出片34の中心から45度乃至135度の範囲の角度領域に位置付けられている場合、口頸部50から一旦離脱された本体4は図3において左方に変位されている故に、雌螺条22の螺合開始先端は口頸部50に対して幾分半径方向外側に変位している。従って、雌螺条22の螺合開始先端と雄螺条52の螺合開始先端とが角度的に整合した状態であっても、両者の干渉によって口頸部50に対する本体4の円滑な被嵌が阻害されることが充分確実に回避される。   When eating and drinking of the contents is interrupted halfway, the main body 4 held in the position shown in FIG. 4 is turned counterclockwise in FIG. 4 and fitted again on the neck 50, and the container lid 2 is rotated in the closing direction and the female screw 22 of the container lid 2 is screwed on the male screw 52 of the mouth and neck 50, thus the container lid 2 is again positioned as illustrated in FIG. 50 can be temporarily sealed. The screwing start point of the female screw 22 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall 10 of the main body 4 is positioned in an angular range of 45 degrees to 135 degrees from the center of the projecting piece 34 when viewed from above In this case, since the main body 4 once detached from the mouth and neck 50 is displaced leftward in FIG. 3, the screwing start tip of the female screw 22 is somewhat radially outward with respect to the mouth and neck 50 It is displaced. Therefore, even if the screwing start tip of the female screw 22 and the screwing start tip of the male screw 52 are in angular alignment, the smooth interference of the main body 4 with the mouth and neck 50 due to the interference between the two. It is sufficiently reliably avoided that

上述したとおり、通常の容器蓋においては口頸部から離脱された本体はタンパーエビデント裾部から完全に分離されることから、稀ではあるが消費者が勘違いして或いは意図的に口頸部50から離脱された本体4に過剰な力を加えて片側非破断接続片36a及び他側非破断接続片36bを破断し、タンパーエビデント裾部6から本体4を完全に分離してしまうことがある。本発明に従って構成された容器蓋2においては、片側非破断接続片36aの反時計方向傾動部38aの基端近傍に誘導強制破断領域44aが配設されていると共に他側非破断接続片36bの基端近傍に誘導強制破断領域44bが配設されている故に、片側非破断接続片36aは誘導強制破断領域44aで破断され、他側非破断接続片36bも誘導強制破断領域44bで破断される。従って、図5に明確に図示する如く、タンパーエビデント裾部6に残留する片側非破断接続片36aの残部及び他側非破断接続片36bの残部は充分に小さい。加えて、図示の実施形態においては、誘導強制破断領域44aを構成する切欠46aは、反時計方向傾動部38aの上縁から下方に延びる形態であり、そしてまた図1において左側(上方から見て時計方向側)の上端縁部は上方に向かって左方(上方から見て時計方向)に円滑に延びる凸弧状である。同様に、誘導強制破断領域44bを構成する切欠46bは、時計方向傾動部38bの上縁から下方に延びる形態であり、そしてまた図1において右側(上方から見て反時計方向側)の上端縁部は上方に向かって右方(上方から見て反時計方向)に円滑に延びる凸弧状である。かような次第であるので、タンパーエビデント裾部6に残留する片側非破断接続片36aの残部及び他側非破断接続片36bの残部によって、消費者が不快感を覚え或いは唇を損傷してしまうことが可及的に回避される。更に詳述すると、切欠46a及び46bは上縁から下方に延びる形態である故に、本体4に過剰な力を加えた際には切欠の下端から下方に向かって破断が進行し、従って破断された端部は切欠46a及び46bの下方に位置し、破断された端部に消費者の唇が触れてしまうことが可及的に回避される。また、消費者の唇が触れる可能性がある切欠46a及び46bの上端部は円滑に延びる凸条であるので、消費者の唇が触れたとしても損傷される虞がない。   As described above, in the ordinary container lid, the main body detached from the mouth and neck is completely separated from the tamper evidence tail, so it is rare, but the consumer misunderstood or intentionally the mouth and neck Excessive force is applied to the main body 4 separated from 50 to break the one-sided non-break connection piece 36 a and the other non-break connection piece 36 b and completely separate the main body 4 from the tamper evident foot 6 is there. In the container lid 2 configured in accordance with the present invention, the induction forcible fracture region 44a is disposed in the vicinity of the base end of the counterclockwise tilting portion 38a of the one-side non-break connection piece 36a and the other-side non-break connection piece 36b. Since the inductive forcible fracture region 44b is disposed in the vicinity of the base end, the one-sided non-fractured connection piece 36a is fractured at the inductive forcible fracture region 44a, and the other non-fractured connection piece 36b is also fractured at the inductive forced fracture region 44b . Accordingly, as clearly shown in FIG. 5, the remaining portion of the one-sided non-breaking connection piece 36a remaining in the tamper-evident foot 6 and the remaining portion of the other-side non-breaking connection piece 36b are sufficiently small. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, the notch 46a that constitutes the induced forcible fracture area 44a is configured to extend downward from the upper edge of the counterclockwise tilting portion 38a, and also in FIG. The upper end edge of the clockwise side has a convex arc shape that smoothly extends leftward (clockwise as viewed from above) upward. Similarly, the notch 46b constituting the induction forced fracture region 44b is configured to extend downward from the upper edge of the clockwise tilting portion 38b, and also in FIG. 1 at the upper edge of the right side (counterclockwise as viewed from above). The portion has a convex arc shape that smoothly extends rightward (counterclockwise as viewed from above) upward. As such, depending on the remainder of the one-sided non-break connection piece 36a remaining in the tamper-evidence foot 6 and the remainder of the other-side non-break connection piece 36b, the consumer may feel discomfort or damage the lips. It is avoided as much as possible. More specifically, since the notches 46a and 46b are configured to extend downward from the upper edge, when excessive force is applied to the main body 4, the fracture progresses from the lower end of the notch downward, and thus is broken The ends are located below the notches 46a and 46b, and it is avoided as much as possible that the lips of the consumer touch the broken ends. In addition, since the upper ends of the notches 46a and 46b to which the lips of the consumer may touch are smoothly extending ridges, there is no risk of damage even if the lips of the consumer touch.

これに対して、片側非破断接続片36a及び他側非破断接続片36bに誘導強制破断領域44a及び44bが形成されていない場合、本発明者等の経験によれば、消費者が勘違いして或いは意図的に口頸部から離脱された本体4に過剰な力を加えて片側非破断接続片36a及び他側非破断接続片36bを破断する場合、片側非破断接続片36aは反時計方向傾動部38aと介在部40aとの境界領域或いは介在部40aと時計方向傾動部42aとの境界領域において破断される傾向があり、同様に他側非破断接続片36bは時計方向傾動部38bと介在部40bとの境界領域或いは介在部40bと反時計方向傾動部42bとの境界領域において破断される傾向がある。従って、図6に例示するとおり、タンパーエビデント裾部6に残留する片側非破断接続片36aの残部及び他側非破断接続片36bの残部は比較的大きく、そしてまた鋭い自由端を有することが少なくない。それ故に、タンパーエビデント裾部6に残留する片側非破断接続片36aの残部及び他側非破断接続片36bの残部によって、消費者が不快感を覚え或いは唇を損傷してしまう虞がある。   On the other hand, when the induction forcible fracture regions 44a and 44b are not formed on the one-side non-break connection piece 36a and the other-side non-break connection piece 36b, according to the experience of the present inventors, the consumer misunderstands Alternatively, in the case of intentionally applying excessive force to the main body 4 detached from the mouth and neck to break the one-sided non-break connection piece 36a and the other-side non-break connection piece 36b, the one-side non-break connection piece 36a tilts counterclockwise. There is a tendency to be broken in the boundary area between the part 38a and the intervening part 40a or the boundary area between the intervening part 40a and the clockwise tilting part 42a, and similarly the other non-breaking connection piece 36b is the clockwise tilting part 38b and the intervening part There is a tendency to be broken in the boundary region with 40 b or in the boundary region between the intervening portion 40 b and the counterclockwise tilting portion 42 b. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the remainder of the one-sided non-break connection piece 36a remaining on the tamper evident foot 6 and the remainder of the other-side non-break connection piece 36b are relatively large and also have sharp free ends. Not a few. Therefore, there is a risk that the consumer may feel discomfort or damage the lips due to the remaining portion of the one-side non-breaking connection piece 36 a remaining in the tamper-evidence foot portion 6 and the remaining portion of the other-side non-breaking connection piece 36 b.
