以下、本発明に従って構成された合成樹脂製容器蓋の好適実施形態を図示している添付図面を参照して、更に詳述する。   Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a synthetic resin container lid constructed according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1を参照して説明すると、ポリエチレン又はポリプロピレンの如き適宜の合成樹脂から射出成形又は圧縮成形することができる容器蓋2は、円形天面壁4とこの天面壁4の周縁から垂下する円筒形スカート壁6とを具備する。天面壁4の内面外周縁部には、下方に垂下する比較的長い円筒形状の内側シール片8と共に下方に垂下する比較的短い円筒形状の外側シール片10が形成されている。内側シール片8と外側シール片10との中間には環状突出部12が形成されている。   Referring to FIG. 1, a container lid 2 which can be injection-molded or compression-molded from a suitable synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene has a circular top wall 4 and a cylindrical skirt hanging from the periphery of the top wall 4. And a wall 6. A relatively short cylindrical outer seal piece 10 hanging down along with a relatively long cylindrical inner seal piece 8 hanging down is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the inner surface of the top wall 4. An annular protrusion 12 is formed between the inner seal piece 8 and the outer seal piece 10.

スカート壁6には周方向に延びる破断ライン14が形成されており、スカート壁6は破断ライン14より上方の主部16と破断ライン14より下方のタンパーエビデント裾部18とに区画されている。図示の実施形態においては、破断ライン14は周方向に延びる複数個のスリット(切り溝)20とスリット20間に残留せしめられている複数個の橋絡部22とから構成されており、タンパーエビデント裾部18は複数個の橋絡部22を介して主部16に接続されている。   The skirt wall 6 is formed with a break line 14 extending in the circumferential direction. The skirt wall 6 is divided into a main portion 16 above the break line 14 and a tamper-evident hem portion 18 below the break line 14. . In the illustrated embodiment, the rupture line 14 is composed of a plurality of circumferentially extending slits (cut grooves) 20 and a plurality of bridging portions 22 remaining between the slits 20. The dent bottom 18 is connected to the main portion 16 via a plurality of bridge portions 22.

スカート壁6の主部20の外周面には、周方向に見て交互に存在する凹凸形状から構成された滑り止めローレット24が形成されている。図1と共に図2及び図4を参照して説明を続けると、スカート壁6の主部16の内周面には雌螺条26が形成されている。図示の実施形態においては、約720度(2巻)に渡って延びる1条の雌螺条26が形成されており、周方向のいずれの部位においても軸線方向下側に位置する下段雌螺条26aと軸線方向上側に位置する上段雌螺条26bが存在する。下段雌螺条26a及び上段雌螺条26bの各々は、成形に必要な合成樹脂材料量の低減の見地から、周方向に間隔をおいて配設された複数個の中断領域28a及び28b(後に言及する係止突起の数をNとすると、中断領域28a及び28bの数はNの整数倍、特に2N、であるのが好適である)によって中断された複数個の雌螺条部30a及び30bから形成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、下段雌螺条26a及び上段雌螺条26bの各々において、等間隔をおいて10個の中断領域28a及び28並びに10個の雌螺条部30a及び30bが配設されており、中断領域28a及び28bの各々の周方向長さは同一であり、雌螺条部30a及び30bの各々の周方向長さも同一である。下段雌螺条26aにおける中断領域28aの各々と上段雌螺条26bにおける中断領域28bの各々とは軸線方向に整合しており、従って下段雌螺条26aにおける雌螺条部30aの各々と上段雌螺条26bにおける雌螺条部30bの各々とも軸線方向に整合している。1条の雌螺条を形成することに代えて複数状の雌螺条を形成することもできる。この場合も、各雌螺条における中断領域の各々の周方向長さは同一であり、雌螺条部の周方向長さも同一であり、各雌螺条における中断領域の各々及び雌螺条部の各々は軸線方向に整合しているのが好適である。   On the outer peripheral surface of the main portion 20 of the skirt wall 6, there is formed a non-slip knurl 24 composed of irregularities which are present alternately in the circumferential direction. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4 together with FIG. 1, a female thread 26 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the main portion 16 of the skirt wall 6. In the illustrated embodiment, one female thread 26 extending over about 720 degrees (two turns) is formed, and the lower female thread located on the axially lower side in any part in the circumferential direction. There is an upper female screw thread 26b located on the upper side in the axial direction with the upper female thread 26b. Each of the lower internal thread 26a and the upper internal thread 26b is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced interrupted regions 28a and 28b (described later) from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of synthetic resin material necessary for molding. Assuming that the number of the engaging projections to be referred to is N, the number of the interrupted regions 28a and 28b is preferably an integral multiple of N, particularly preferably 2N. It is important that they are formed from In the illustrated embodiment, in each of the lower internal thread 26a and the upper internal thread 26b, ten interruption regions 28a and 28 and ten internal thread portions 30a and 30b are arranged at equal intervals. The circumferential length of each of the interruption regions 28a and 28b is the same, and the circumferential length of each of the female thread portions 30a and 30b is also the same. Each of the interrupted areas 28a in the lower female thread 26a and each of the interrupted areas 28b in the upper female thread 26b are axially aligned, and therefore each of the female threads 30a in the lower female thread 26a and the upper female thread are aligned. Each of the female thread portions 30b of the thread 26b is also axially aligned. Instead of forming one female thread, a plurality of female threads can be formed. Also in this case, the circumferential length of each of the interrupted regions in each of the female threads is the same, the circumferential length of the female screw portion is also the same, and each of the interrupted regions in each of the female threads and the female screw portion Are preferably axially aligned.

図1乃至図4を参照して説明を続けると、タンパーエビデント裾部18の内周面には周方向に間隔をおいて奇数であるのが好適である複数個の係止突起32が配設されている。図示の実施形態においては、周方向に等間隔をおいて5個の係止突起32が配設されており、係止突起32の各々は実質上同一であり、周方向中間部32aと共に周方向両側部32bを有する。図2を参照することによって理解される如く、係止突起32の各々の周方向中間部32aの直径方向反対側には係止突起32が存在しない係止突起非存在部34(かかる係止突起非存在部34の各々には突出量が微小である弧状突条が配設されている)が位置する。図4を参照することによって明確に理解される如く、隣接する係止突起間に位置する係止突起非存在部34の軸線方向上方には雌螺条部30a及び30bが存在することが重要であり、係止突起非存在部34の周方向中心は雌螺条部30a及び30bの周方向中心と軸線方向において整合しているのが好ましい。そしてまた、係止突起32の少なくとも周方向中間部32aの軸線方向上方には雌螺条部30a及び30bが存在し、係止突起32の周方向中心は雌螺条部30a及び30bの周方向中心と軸線方向において整合しているのが好都合である。図示の実施形態においては、係止突起32の周方向中間部32aと共に周方向両側部32bの周方向内側端及び外側端も、雌螺条部30a及び30bの軸線方向下方に位置する。   Continuing with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the inner peripheral surface of the tamper-evident hem portion 18 is provided with a plurality of locking projections 32, which are preferably spaced oddly in the circumferential direction. Has been established. In the illustrated embodiment, five locking projections 32 are disposed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and each of the locking projections 32 is substantially the same, and is also formed in the circumferential direction together with the circumferential intermediate portion 32a. It has both sides 32b. As can be understood by referring to FIG. 2, a locking projection non-existing portion 34 in which the locking projection 32 does not exist on the diametrically opposite side of each circumferential intermediate portion 32 a of the locking projection 32 (such a locking projection). Each of the non-existent portions 34 is provided with an arc-shaped ridge having a very small protrusion amount). As clearly understood by referring to FIG. 4, it is important that the female thread portions 30a and 30b are present in the axial direction above the locking projection non-existing portion 34 located between the adjacent locking projections. In addition, it is preferable that the circumferential center of the locking projection non-existing portion 34 is axially aligned with the circumferential center of the female thread portions 30a and 30b. Further, the female thread portions 30a and 30b are present at least axially above the circumferential intermediate portion 32a of the locking projection 32, and the circumferential center of the locking projection 32 is the circumferential direction of the female thread portions 30a and 30b. Advantageously, it is axially aligned with the center. In the illustrated embodiment, together with the circumferential intermediate portion 32a of the locking projection 32, the circumferential inner and outer ends of the circumferential side portions 32b are located axially below the female thread portions 30a and 30b.

係止突起32の各々は、半径方向内方に延出する係止上面36、縦断面図において略半円弧形状である先端面38及び下方に向かって半径方向外方に傾斜して延在する案内下面40を有する。そして、周方向中間部32aにおける係止上面36の半径方向突出長さは周方向両側部32bにおける係止上面36の半径方向突出長さよりも大きく設定されている。更に詳述すると、図2を参照することによって明確に理解されるとおり、図示の実施形態においては、周方向中間部32aにおいては係止上面36の半径方向延出長さが周方向両側に向かって漸次低減されており、周方向両側部32bにおいても係止上面36の半径方向延出長さは周方向両側に向かって漸次低減されており、周方向両端においては実質上零である。そして、周方向両側部32bの周方向内側端における係止上面36の半径方向延出長さは周方向中央部32aの周方向両端における係止上面36の半径方向延出長さと実質上同一である。図示の実施形態においては、係止突起32の各々の案内下面40の下縁は周方向中間部32aから周方向両側部32bの一部(即ち周方向内側部)に渡って実質上水平に延在し、周方向両側部32bの周方向外側部においては案内下面40の下縁は周方向外側端に向かって軸線方向上方に傾斜せしめられている。   Each of the locking projections 32 has a locking upper surface 36 extending inward in the radial direction, a tip surface 38 having a substantially semicircular shape in a longitudinal sectional view, and a slanting radially outwardly extending downward. It has a guide lower surface 40. The length of the protrusion of the locking upper surface 36 in the radial direction intermediate portion 32a in the radial direction is set to be longer than the length of the protrusion of the locking upper surface 36 in the circumferential side portions 32b in the radial direction. More specifically, as can be clearly understood by referring to FIG. 2, in the illustrated embodiment, in the circumferential intermediate portion 32a, the radial extension length of the locking upper surface 36 is directed toward both sides in the circumferential direction. The radially extending length of the locking upper surface 36 is also gradually reduced toward both sides in the circumferential direction at the both side portions 32b in the circumferential direction, and is substantially zero at both ends in the circumferential direction. The radially extending length of the locking upper surface 36 at the circumferentially inner ends of the circumferential side portions 32b is substantially the same as the radially extending length of the locking upper surface 36 at both circumferential ends of the circumferential central portion 32a. is there. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower edge of each guide lower surface 40 of the locking projection 32 extends substantially horizontally from the circumferential intermediate portion 32a to a part of the circumferential side portions 32b (that is, the circumferential inner portion). The lower edge of the guide lower surface 40 is inclined upward in the axial direction toward the outer end in the circumferential direction on the outer side in the circumferential direction of the both side portions 32b in the circumferential direction.

周方向に見て上記係止突起32が存在する領域においては、タンパーエビデント裾部18の上部内面は係止突起32の係止上面36から軸線方向上方に向かって半径方向外方に若干の角度で傾斜している、換言すれば軸線方向上方に向かって内径が漸次増大されている傾斜内面42である。一方、周方向に見て係止突起32が存在しない係止突起非存在部34においては、タンパーエビデント裾部18の内面は傾斜することなく、傾斜内面42よりも上方の部位と同一面をなしている。   In the region where the locking projection 32 is present in the circumferential direction, the upper inner surface of the tamper-evident hem 18 slightly extends radially outward from the locking upper surface 36 of the locking projection 32 upward in the axial direction. The inclined inner surface 42 is inclined at an angle, in other words, the inner diameter is gradually increased upward in the axial direction. On the other hand, in the locking projection non-existing portion 34 in which the locking projection 32 does not exist when viewed in the circumferential direction, the inner surface of the tamper-evident hem portion 18 is not inclined and is flush with the portion above the inclined inner surface 42. No.

而して、上述した如く、従来の容器蓋においては、タンパーエビデント裾部に成形不良が発生することがあった。然るに、本発明に従って構成された容器蓋2においては、上述したとおり隣接する係止突起間に位置する係止突起非存在部34の軸線方向上方には雌螺条部30a及び30bが存在し、そしてまた係止突起32の少なくとも周方向中間部32aの軸線方向上方には雌螺条部30a及び30bが存在する。それ故に、スカート壁6の主部16からタンパーエビデント裾部18における薄肉である係止突起非存在部34或いは係止突起32自体に材料樹脂が良好に流動し、タンパーエビデント裾部18の成形不良が可及的に回避される。また、係止突起における成形不良の回避については、本発明者等は、成形された容器蓋を成形型から取り出す際に雌螺条部30a及び30b並びに係止突起32において所謂無理抜きが必要であるが、係止突起32の少なくとも周方向中間部32aの軸線方向上方には雌螺条部30a及び30bが存在する場合は、雌螺条部30a及び30bにおける無理抜きに起因してスカート壁6が下方に向かって半径方向外方に強制され、これによって係止突起32のおける無理抜きが緩和されることにも起因すると考えている。因みに、雌螺条部30a及び30bは、その形状に起因して無理抜きによる変形乃至損傷に対して比較的強い耐性を有するが、係止突起32は、その形状に起因して無理抜きによる変形乃至損傷に対する耐性が比較的小さい。   Thus, as described above, in the conventional container lid, molding defects sometimes occurred at the tamper-evident hem. However, in the container lid 2 configured according to the present invention, as described above, the female thread portions 30a and 30b exist above the locking projection non-existing portion 34 positioned between the adjacent locking projections, Further, female thread portions 30a and 30b are present at least above the circumferential intermediate portion 32a of the locking projection 32 in the axial direction. Therefore, the material resin flows well from the main portion 16 of the skirt wall 6 to the thin locking projection non-existent portion 34 or the locking projection 32 itself in the tamper-evident hem 18, and the tamper-evident hem 18 Molding defects are avoided as much as possible. In order to avoid molding defects in the locking projections, the present inventors require that the female screw portions 30a and 30b and the locking projections 32 be so-called forced removal when removing the molded container lid from the mold. However, when the female screw portions 30a and 30b are present at least above the circumferential intermediate portion 32a of the locking projection 32 in the axial direction, the skirt wall 6 is not removed due to the forced removal of the female screw portions 30a and 30b. Is forcibly displaced radially outward toward the lower side, whereby the forcible removal of the locking projection 32 is reduced. Incidentally, the female thread portions 30a and 30b have relatively strong resistance to deformation or damage due to forced removal due to their shapes, but the locking projections 32 are deformed due to forced removal due to their shapes. Or relatively low resistance to damage.

図1には容器蓋2と共に容器の口頸部44も図示されている。ポリエチレンテレフタレートの如き適宜の合成樹脂、ガラス或いは金属薄板から形成することができる容器の口頸部44は全体として円筒形状であり、口頸部44の外周面には約720度(2巻)に渡って延びる1条の雄螺条46、即ち軸線方向下側に位置する下段雄螺条46aと軸線方向上側に位置する上段雄螺条46bが存在する。また、下段雄螺条46aの下方に位置する係止あご部48が形成されている。口頸部44の外周面には、更に、係止あご部48の下方に位置するサポートリング50(かかるサポートリング50は当業者には周知の如く容器の搬送に利用される)も配設されている。   FIG. 1 also shows the mouth and neck 44 of the container together with the container lid 2. The mouth-and-neck portion 44 of the container which can be formed of a suitable synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, glass or a metal thin plate has a cylindrical shape as a whole, and the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 44 has about 720 degrees (two turns). There is a single male thread 46 extending across, that is, a lower male thread 46a located on the lower side in the axial direction and an upper male thread 46b located on the upper side in the axial direction. A locking jaw 48 is formed below the lower male thread 46a. On the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-neck portion 44, there is further provided a support ring 50 located below the locking jaw 48 (the support ring 50 is used for transporting the container as is well known to those skilled in the art). ing.

容器内に内容物を充填した後に口頸部44に容器蓋2を装着して口頸部44を密封する際には、口頸部44に容器蓋2を被嵌して容器蓋2を閉回転方向、図1において上方から見て時計方向、に回転せしめ、容器蓋2の雌螺条26を口頸部44の雄螺条46に螺合せしめる。図1に示す状態まで雌螺条26を雄螺条46に螺合せしめると、容器蓋2の内側シール片8が口頸部44内に侵入して口頸部44の内周面に密接され、環状突出部12が口頸部44の頂面に密接せしめられ、外側シール片10が口頸部44の外周面に密接乃至近接せしめられ、かくして口頸部44が密封される。   When the container lid 2 is attached to the mouth and neck portion 44 to seal the mouth and neck portion 44 after the contents are filled in the container, the container lid 2 is fitted to the mouth and neck portion 44 and the container lid 2 is closed. The female screw 26 of the container lid 2 is screwed into the male screw 46 of the mouth-neck portion 44 by rotating the female screw 26 in the rotation direction, that is, clockwise as viewed from above in FIG. When the female thread 26 is screwed into the male thread 46 until the state shown in FIG. 1, the inner sealing piece 8 of the container lid 2 penetrates into the mouth and neck portion 44 and comes into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the mouth and neck portion 44. The annular projection 12 is brought into close contact with the top surface of the mouth and neck 44, and the outer sealing piece 10 is brought into close or close proximity to the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck 44, thus sealing the mouth and neck 44.

口頸部44に容器蓋2を装着して口頸部44を密封する際には、タンパーエビデンド裾部18の内周面に配設されている係止突起32は口頸部44の係止あご部48を弾性的に乗り越え、係止あご部48の下方に位置せしめられる。この際には係止突起32の案内下面40の案内作用によって係止突起32は漸次半径方向外方に変位せしめられて円滑に係止あご部48を乗り越える。そして、係止突起32の各々の係止上面36の周方向全体ではなくて周方向中間部32aのみにおいて係止上面36の半径方向内方への延出長さが比較的大きく設定されている故に、係止突起32が係止あご部48を弾性的に乗り越える際に破断ライン14が偶発的に破断されてしまうことが可及的に回避される。   When the container lid 2 is attached to the mouth-neck portion 44 to seal the mouth-neck portion 44, the locking projections 32 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tamper-evident hem 18 are engaged with the mouth-neck portion 44. The chin 48 is elastically passed over and is positioned below the locking chin 48. At this time, the locking projection 32 is gradually displaced radially outward by the guiding action of the guide lower surface 40 of the locking projection 32, and smoothly passes over the locking jaw 48. The extension length of the locking upper surface 36 in the radially inward direction is set to be relatively large only in the circumferential intermediate portion 32a, not in the entire circumferential direction of each locking upper surface 36 of the locking protrusion 32. Therefore, accidental breakage of the breaking line 14 when the locking projection 32 elastically crosses the locking jaw 48 can be avoided as much as possible.

内容物を消費するために口頸部44を開封する際には、容器蓋2を開方向、即ち図1において上方から見て反時計方向、に回転せしめる。かくすると、雄螺条46と雄螺条雌26の螺合が漸次解除され、スカート壁6の主部16は回転と共に軸線方向上方に移動せしめられる。一方、タンパーエビデント裾部18は係止突起32が係止あご部48に係止せしめられる故に軸線方向上方への移動が阻止され、かくして破断ライン14の橋絡部22に応力が生成されて橋絡部22が破断され、タンパーエビデント裾部18がスカート壁6の主部16から切り離される。破断ライン14が破断された後においては、タンパーエビデント裾部18を口頸部44に残留せしめて、容器蓋2の天面壁4及びスカート壁6の主部16は回転と共に軸線方向上方に自由に移動せしめられて口頸部44から離脱され、かくして口頸部44が開封される。所望ならば、タンパーエビデント裾部18に軸線方向破断ラインを形成し、容器の口頸部44を開封する際には上記軸線方向破断ラインが破断され、一方周方向に延在する破断ライン14はその一端が破断されることなく維持され、タンパーエビデント裾部18が無端環状から有端環状に展開され、タンパーエビデント裾部18と共に容器蓋2の全体が口頸部44から離脱されるようになすこともできる。   When opening the mouth and neck portion 44 to consume the contents, the container lid 2 is rotated in the opening direction, that is, in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from above in FIG. Then, the screw engagement between the male thread 46 and the male thread female 26 is gradually released, and the main part 16 of the skirt wall 6 is moved upward in the axial direction with rotation. On the other hand, the tamper-evident hem 18 is prevented from moving upward in the axial direction because the locking projection 32 is locked by the locking jaw 48, and thus the stress is generated in the bridge portion 22 of the breaking line 14. The bridging portion 22 is broken, and the tamper-evident hem 18 is separated from the main portion 16 of the skirt wall 6. After the breaking line 14 is broken, the tamper-evident hem 18 remains on the mouth and neck 44, and the top wall 4 of the container lid 2 and the main part 16 of the skirt wall 6 are free to rotate upward in the axial direction with rotation. The mouth and neck 44 is removed from the mouth and neck 44, and the mouth and neck 44 is thus opened. If desired, an axial break line is formed in the tamper-evident skirt 18 so that when opening the mouth and neck 44 of the container, the axial break line is broken, while the circumferential break line 14 Is maintained without breaking one end thereof, the tamper-evident hem 18 is expanded from an endless annular shape to an endless annular shape, and the entire container lid 2 is detached from the mouth and neck portion 44 together with the tamper-evident hem 18. You can do something like that.
