Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、飲料用容器、殊に炭酸飲料用容器に適した合成樹脂製容器蓋に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
飲料用容器として、ポリエチレンテレフタレートの如き合成樹脂或いはガラスから形成された容器が広く使用されている。かかる容器は略円筒形状の口頸部を含み、口頸部の外周面には雄螺条が形成されている。通常、雄螺条よりも上方に位置する口頸部の上端部は、実質上水平に延在する環状頂面、実質上鉛直に延在する円筒状外周面、及び実質上鉛直に延在する円筒状内周面を有する。環状頂面と円筒状内周面とは実質上直接的に、或いは断面図において若干の長さに渡って円弧状に延びる環状境界面を介して、相互に接続されている。一方、環状頂面と円筒状外周面との間には、断面図において実質上円弧状に相当な長さに渡って延びる環状境界面が存在する。
【0003】
上述した形態の容器の口頸部を密封するための容器蓋として、近時においては高密度ポリエチレン又はポリプロピレンの如き合成樹脂から形成された合成樹脂製容器蓋が実用に供されている。かような合成樹脂製容器蓋の典型例は、例えば特開昭58−73551号公報に開示されている如く、円形天面壁及びこの天面壁の周縁から垂下する円筒状スカート壁を具備する。スカート壁の内周面には雌螺条が形成されている。天面壁の内面の外周部には、下方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜して延出する環状シール片、この環状シール片よりも半径方向内側に位置する環状当接片、及び当接片よりも半径方向内側にて下方に延出する環状位置付け片が形成されている。
【0004】
容器の口頸部に容器蓋を装着して口頸部を密封するためには、口頸部に容器蓋を被嵌して閉方向に回転せしめ、容器蓋の雌螺条を口頸部の雄螺条に螺合せしめる。この際には、容器蓋の環状位置付け片が口頸部の上端部における内周面に沿って下降せしめられ、これによって口頸部に対して容器蓋が位置合せされて口頸部の中心線に容器蓋の中心線が整合せしめられる。口頸部の雄螺条に容器蓋の雌螺条を所要回転トルクで螺合せしめると、容器蓋の環状シール片が口頸部の上端部における外周面に密接され、これによって口頸部が密封される。容器蓋の当接片は口頸部の実質上水平に延在する頂面に当接せしめられ、これによって口頸部に対する容器蓋の鉛直方向位置が規制される。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
而して、上述した形態の従来の合成樹脂製容器蓋には、次のとおりの解決すべき問題が存在する。即ち、容器内に炭酸ガスを含有した炭酸飲料が収容される場合、周囲温度が例えば40度程度に上昇すると、容器内には相当大きなガス圧力(例えば6kg/cm2 程度のガス圧力)が生成され、かかるガス圧力によって容器蓋の天面壁が上方にドーム状に変形せしめられる所謂ドーム現象が発生する。一方、当業者には周知の如く、通常、炭酸飲料が充填され容器蓋が装着された容器はカートン(板紙製箱)内に収容される。そして、所要数の容器を収容したカートンは積重されて保管され搬送される。かかる保管及び搬送の際には、各容器の口頸部に装着された容器蓋の天面壁には相当な荷重(例えば10kg程度の荷重)が負荷される。本発明者等の実験によれば、容器蓋の天面壁に上記ドーム現象が生成されている状態において、容器蓋の天面壁に相当大きな積重荷重が負荷されると、容器蓋による口頸部の密封が毀損されてしまって容器内のガス圧力が漏出してしまう傾向がある。かような問題を解決するためには、容器蓋の天面壁の内面に、容器蓋本体とは別個に所要形状の密封ライナーを周知の型押成形法によって形成することが意図され得るが、かくすると容器蓋の製造コストが相当増大してしまう。
【0006】
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、製造コストを増大せしめることなく製造することができるにもかからわず、容器蓋の天面壁にドーム現象が生成されている状態において、容器蓋の天面壁に相当大きな積重荷重が負荷されても、容器蓋による口頸部の密封が充分確実に維持される、改良された合成樹脂製容器蓋を提供することである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、鋭意研究及び実験の結果、驚くべきことに、口頸部の実質上水平に延びる頂面ではなくて断面図において円弧状に延びる環状境界面に当接する形態に環状当接片を変更すると、容器蓋の天面壁に上記ドーム現象が生成されている状態において、容器蓋の天面壁に相当大きな積重荷重が負荷されても、容器蓋による口頸部の密封を充分確実に維持することができることを見出した。容器蓋の環状当接片に上記のとおりの変更を加えることによって口頸部の密封を充分確実に維持することが可能になる理由については、必ずしも明確ではないが、本発明者等は次のとおりに推測している。一般に、天面壁にドーム現象が生成せめられると、口頸部の環状境界面よりも内側の領域にて天面壁が上方に変形される。換言すれば、口頸部の環状境界面を所謂支点として天面壁が中央に向かうほど大きく上方に膨出せしめられる。容器蓋の環状当接片が口頸部の環状境界面よりも内側である頂面に当接せしめられている場合、天面壁にドーム現象が生成されている状態で天面壁に積重荷重が負荷されると、天面壁が変形せしめられ、これに応じて環状当接片も変形乃至移動せしめられると共に天面壁の変形が環状シール片にも伝えられ、環状シール片も変形せしめられ、かくして口頸部の密封が毀損されてしまう。これに対して、容器蓋の環状当接片を口頸部の環状境界面、即ち天面壁の変形における所謂支点に当接せしめると、天面壁の変形によって環状当接片が変形乃至移動せしめられる傾向が相当抑制されると共に、天面壁の変形に起因して環状シール片が変形せしめられる傾向が相当抑制され、これによって口頸部の密封が維持される。
【0008】
即ち、本発明によれば、上記技術的課題を達成する合成樹脂製容器蓋として、口頸部の上端部には水平に延在する環状頂面、鉛直に延在する円筒状外周面及び前記頂面から前記外周面まで断面図において円弧状に延びる環状境界面が形成されている容器に適用される、円形天面壁及び該天面壁の周縁から垂下する円筒状スカート壁を具備する合成樹脂製容器蓋にして、
前記天面壁の内面の外周部には、下方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜して延出し、前記口頸部における前記外周面に密接せしめられることによって半径方向外方に撓まされる環状シール片と、前記口頸部における前記環状頂面には当接せしめられることなく前記境界面に当接せしめられる環状当接片とが、一体に形成されている、
ことを特徴とする合成樹脂製容器蓋が提供される。
【0009】
好適実施形態においては、前記環状当接片は、下方に向かって膨出せしめられ、前記口頸部における前記境界面に当接せしめられることによって圧縮される膨出部から構成されている。下方乃至半径方向内方に突出し、前記口頸部における前記境界面に当接することによって上方に撓まされる突出部から前記環状当接片を構成することもできる。前記環状シール片の最小内径をD1、前記口頸部の前記外周面の外径をD2とすると、D2−D1=0.30乃至1.00mmであるのが好ましい。また、前記口頸部の上端部には実質上鉛直に延在する円筒状内周面が形成されており、前記天面壁の内面の外周部には、前記環状当接片よりも半径方向内側にて下方に延出する環状位置付け片が形成されており、該環状位置付け片の最大外径をD3、前記口頸部の前記内周面の内径をD4とすると、D4−D3=0.07乃至0.16mmであるのが好ましい。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
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、更に詳細に説明する。
【0011】
図1を参照して説明すると、本発明に従って構成された全体を番号2で示す容器蓋2は、高密度ポリエチレン又はポリプロピレンの如き比較的硬質の合成樹脂であるのが好ましい合成樹脂から全体が一体に形成されている。かかる容器蓋2は、円形天面壁4及びこの天面壁4の周縁から垂下する略円筒状のスカート壁6を具備している。スカート壁6には周方向に延びる破断可能ライン8が形成されており、スカート壁6は破断可能ライン8よりも上方の主部10と破断可能ライン8よりも下方のタンパーエビデント裾部12とに区画されている。スカート壁6の内周面には下方を向いた環状肩面14が形成されており、そしてかかる環状肩面14から下方に延びる突条16が周方向に適宜の間隔をおいて複数個形成されている。上記破断可能ライン8は、突条16の軸線方向中間部において、スカート壁6の外周面から切断刃(図示していない)を作用せしめ、突条16の少なくとも一部を残留せしめてスカート壁6を切断することによって形成される。突条16の各々の切断されることなく残留せしめられた部分が所謂橋絡部18を構成し、タンパーエビデント裾部12は橋絡部18を介してスカート壁6の主部10に接続されている。
【0012】
スカート壁6の主部10の外周面には、その下端部近傍に、下方に向かって外径が漸次増大する円錐台形状部20が形成されている。タンパーエビデント裾部12の外周面も、下方に向かって外径が漸次増大する円錐台形状にせしめられている。主部10の外周面における円錐台形状部20の上方に位置する部分には、そこに掛けられる指の滑りを防止するための凹凸形状22が形成されている。スカート壁6の主部10の内周面には雌螺条24が形成されている。かかる雌螺条24には、周方向に適宜の間隔をおいて軸線方向に延びる切欠26が形成されている。かかる切欠26は容器の口頸部が開封される際の所謂通気路を構成する。
【0013】
タンパーエビデント裾部12の内周面には係止手段28が形成されている。図示の実施形態における係止手段28は、周方向に連続して延在している環状突出片30から構成されている。この環状突出片30は、タンパーエビデント裾部12の内周面に接続されている基縁から半径方向内方に向かって上方に傾斜して突出せしめられている。この環状突出片30には、その先端から基縁近傍まで延びるスリット32が周方向に間隔をおいて形成されている。所望ならば、環状突出片30に代えて、例えばフラップ片、弧状突条或いはラチェット爪(ラチェット爪の場合には、後述する容器の口頸部における被係止手段は環状あご部ではなくて対応するラチェット爪から構成される)等の他の適宜の形態の突出片、突条或いは突起等から係止手段を構成することもできる。
【0014】
図1と共に図2を参照して説明を続けると、天面壁4の内面の外周部には、環状シール片34、環状当接片36及び環状位置付け片38が形成されている。図示の実施形態における環状シール片34は、天面壁4の内面から下方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜して延出している。更に詳述すると、環状シール片34は、下方に向かって半径方向内方に略20度程度でよい傾斜角αをなして延びている外周面40と、外周面40と実質上平行に延びている上部内周面42と、上部内周面42に続いて実質上鉛直に下方に延びる中間部内周面43と、中間部内周面43に続いて下方に向かって半径方向外方に延びる下部内周面44と、略水平に延びる先端面46とを有する。環状当接片36は、半径方向に見て環状シール片34の直ぐ内側に位置せしめられており、天面壁4の内面から下方に向かって凸状に膨出せしめられている膨出部から形成されている。環状位置付け片38は当接片36から半径方向内方に所要距離離間せしめて配置されており、天面壁4の内面から実質上鉛直に下方に延出せしめられている。この環状位置付け片38は実質上鉛直に延びる上部外周48と、下方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜して延びる下部外周面50と、実質上水平に延びる先端面52と、実質上鉛直に延びる内周面54とを有する。
【0015】
図2には、容器蓋2が適用される容器の口頸部の一部も二点鎖線で図示されている。ポリエチレンテレフタレートの如き適宜の合成樹脂或いはガラスから形成することができる容器は略円筒形状の口頸部56を備えている。この口頸部56の外周面には雄螺条58とこの雄螺条58の下方に位置する環状係止あご部60(図3)が形成されている。雄螺条58よりも上方に位置する上端部は、実質上水平に延在する環状頂面62、実質上鉛直に延在する円筒状外周面64、環状頂面62から円筒状外周面64まで断面図において実質上円弧状に延びる環状境界面66、実質上鉛直に延在する円筒状内周面68、円筒状内周面68と環状頂面62との間を若干の長さに渡って断面図において円弧状に延びている環状境界面70によって規定されている。
【0016】
図2を参照することによって理解されるとおり、容器蓋2における環状シール片34の最小内径D1は、容器の口頸部56における上端部の外径D2よりも幾分小さく設定されており、D2−D1=0.30乃至1.00mm程度であるのが好適である。D2−D1が過剰に小さいと環状シール片34による口頸部56のシールが不完全になる傾向があり、D2−D1が過剰に大きいと口頸部56に容器蓋を装着する装着操作が困難になる傾向がある。また、環状位置付け片38の最大外径D3は、容器の口頸部56における上端部の内径D4よりも若干小さく設定されており、D4−D3=0.07乃至0.16mm程度であるのが好ましい。D4−D3が過剰に小さいと容器の口頸部に容器蓋を装着する際に環状位置付け片38を口頸部56内に位置せしめるのが相当困難になる傾向があり、D4−D3が過剰に大きいと環状位置付け片38による口頸部56と容器蓋2との整合作用が有効に機能しなくなる傾向がある。
【0017】
図3は、容器の口頸部56に容器蓋2を所要とおりに装着した状態を図示している。図1及び図2共に図3を参照して説明を続けると、容器の口頸部56に容器蓋2を装着して口頸部56を密封する際には、口頸部56に容器蓋2を被嵌して閉方向、即ち図3において上方から見て時計方向に回転せしめ、口頸部56の雄螺条58に容器蓋2の雌螺条24を螺合せしめる。この際には、容器蓋2の環状位置付け片38が口頸部56の内周面に沿って下降せしめられ、口頸部56に対して容器蓋2が整合、更に詳しくは口頸部56の中心軸線に対して容器蓋2の中心軸線が整合せしめられる。所要トルクで容器蓋2を閉方向に回転せしめて図3に図示する状態まで雄螺条58に雌螺条24を螺合せしめると、容器蓋2の環状シール片34は口頸部56の上端部の外周面64に密接せしめられて半径方向外方に幾分撓まされ、これによって口頸部56が密封される。また、容器蓋2の環状当接片36は、口頸部56の上端部の環状境界面66に当接せしめられて幾分圧縮される。容器蓋2のタンパーエビデント裾部12に形成されている係止手段28は半径方向外方に弾性的に変形して口頸部56の環状あご部60を通過し、次いで弾性的に復元して環状あご部60の下面に係止せしめられる。
【0018】
容器の口頸部56に容器蓋2を装着して口頸部56を密封した状態において、周囲温度が上昇して容器内に相当大きいガス圧力が生成されると、図3に二点鎖線で示す如く、容器蓋2の天面壁4にドーム現象が発生、即ち天面壁4が、口頸部56の上端部の環状境界面66に当接せしめられている環状当接片36の部位を所謂支点として、中央に向かうほど大きく上方に膨出してドーム状に変形せしめられる。然るに、後述する実施例及び比較例についての記載から理解される如く、環状当接片36は口頸部56の上端部における環状頂面62ではなくて環状境界面66に当接せしめられる故に、容器蓋2の天面壁4にドーム現象が発生した状態で天面壁4の外面に相当大きな積重荷重が作用しても、口頸部56の密封は毀損されることなく維持される。
【0019】
容器の口頸部56を開封する際には、容器蓋2を開方向、即ち図3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、タンパーエビデント裾部12は、その内周面に形成されている係止手段28が口頸部56の外周面に形成さている環状あご部60の下面に係止せしめられている故に、上昇が阻止されるが、容器蓋2のその他の部分は回転よって雄螺条58と雌螺条24との螺合が解除されるのに応じて上昇せしめられる。従って、スカート壁6に形成されている破断可能ライン8、更に詳しくはその橋絡部18に相当な応力が生成されて橋絡部18が破断され、タンパーエビデント裾部12がスカート壁6の主部10から分離される。次いで、容器蓋2の、タンパーエビデント裾部12以外の部分は回転と共に上方に自由に移動せしめられ、口頸部56から離脱せしめられる。容器蓋2の、タンパーエビデント裾部12以外の部分が所要距離上方に移動せしめられると、当接片36が口頸部56の上端部の環状境界面66から離隔せしめられ、そしてまた環状シール片34が口頸部56の上端部の外周面64から離隔せしめられ、かくして口頸部56の密封が解除される。
【0020】
図示の実施形態においては、容器の口頸部56を開封する際には、容器蓋2のスカート壁6に形成されている破断可能ライン8における全ての橋絡部18が破断され、タンパーエビデント裾部12がスカート壁6の主部10から完全に分離され、タンパーエビデント裾部12は口頸部56から離脱されることなく口頸部56に残留せしめられる。所望ならば、破断可能ライン8における橋絡部18のうちの少なくとも1個を破断されることなく維持される強橋絡部にせしめると共に、タンパーエビデント裾部12に軸線方向に延びる破断可能ライン(図示していない)を形成し、口頸部56を開封する際には軸線方向方向に延びる破断可能ラインが破断されてタンパーエビデント裾部12が無端環状から有端帯状に展開され、破断されることなく維持されている強橋絡部を介してスカート壁6の主部10に接続され続けるタンパーエビデント裾部12も口頸部56から離脱されるようになすこともできる。
【0022】
は、本発明に従って構成された容器蓋の他の実施形態を図示している。図に図示する実施形態においては、環状当接片36は天面壁4の内面の外周縁部から下方乃至半径方向内方に突出する突出片から構成されており、環状シール片34の外周面40と略平衡に延びる上部内周面72と、実質上鉛直に延びる下部内周面74と半径方向内方に向かって水平に対して10度程度でよい若干の傾斜角度をなして半径方向内方に向かって下方に傾斜して延びる下面76とを有する。かような環状当接片36は、図に二点鎖線で示す如く、口頸部56の上端部の環状境界面66に当接せしめられて上方に撓まされる。図に図示する実施形態の、その他の構成は図1乃至図3に図示する実施形態と実質上同一である。
【0023】
後述する実施例及び比較例についての記載から理解される如く、図4に図示する実施形態においても、環状当接片36は口頸部56の上端部における環状頂面62ではなくて環状境界面66に当接せしめられる故に、容器蓋2の天面壁4にドーム現象が発生した状態で天面壁4の外面に相当大きな積重荷重が作用しても、口頸部56の密封は毀損されることなく維持される。
【0024】
次に、本発明の容器蓋の実施例を比較例と共に説明する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a synthetic resin container lid suitable for a beverage container, particularly a carbonated beverage container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a beverage container, a container formed of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate or glass is widely used. Such a container includes a substantially cylindrical mouth-and-neck portion, and a male thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion. Usually, the upper end of the mouth and neck located above the male thread has an annular top surface that extends substantially horizontally, a cylindrical outer peripheral surface that extends substantially vertically, and a substantially vertical extension. It has a cylindrical inner peripheral surface. The annular top surface and the cylindrical inner peripheral surface are connected to each other substantially directly or via an annular boundary surface extending in an arc shape over a certain length in a sectional view. On the other hand, between the annular top surface and the cylindrical outer peripheral surface, there exists an annular boundary surface extending over a substantial length in a substantially arc shape in the sectional view.
[0003]
Recently, synthetic resin container lids made of synthetic resin such as high-density polyethylene or polypropylene have been put to practical use as container lids for sealing the mouth-and-neck portion of the above-described container. A typical example of such a synthetic resin container lid is provided with a circular top wall and a cylindrical skirt wall depending from the periphery of the top wall as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-73551. A female thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall. The outer peripheral portion of the inner surface of the top panel wall, an annular seal piece extends inclined radially inwardly toward the lower, annular contact piece is located radially inward than the annular seal piece, and the contact An annular positioning piece is formed that extends downward radially inward from the piece.
[0004]
In order to seal the mouth and neck by attaching the container lid to the mouth and neck of the container, the container lid is fitted on the mouth and neck and rotated in the closing direction, and the female thread of the container lid is attached to the mouth and neck. Screw it into the male thread. At this time, the annular positioning piece of the container lid is lowered along the inner peripheral surface at the upper end of the mouth / neck portion, whereby the container lid is aligned with the mouth / neck portion and the center line of the mouth / neck portion is placed. The center line of the container lid is aligned with the container. When the female thread of the container lid is screwed to the male thread of the mouth and neck with the required rotational torque, the annular seal piece of the container lid is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface at the upper end of the mouth and neck, thereby Sealed. The contact piece of the container lid is brought into contact with the top surface of the mouth and neck that extends substantially horizontally, thereby restricting the vertical position of the container lid with respect to the mouth and neck.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, the conventional synthetic resin container lid of the above-described form has the following problems to be solved. That is, when a carbonated beverage containing carbon dioxide gas is stored in the container, a considerably large gas pressure (for example, a gas pressure of about 6 kg / cm 2 ) is generated in the container when the ambient temperature rises to about 40 degrees, for example. Then, a so-called dome phenomenon occurs in which the top wall of the container lid is deformed upward into a dome shape by such gas pressure. On the other hand, as is well known to those skilled in the art, a container filled with a carbonated beverage and fitted with a container lid is usually contained in a carton (paperboard box). Then, the cartons containing the required number of containers are stacked and stored and transported. During such storage and transport, a considerable load (for example, a load of about 10 kg) is applied to the top wall of the container lid attached to the mouth and neck of each container. According to the experiments by the present inventors, in the state where the dome phenomenon is generated on the top wall of the container lid, when a considerably large load is applied to the top wall of the container lid, There is a tendency that the gas pressure in the container leaks because the sealing of the container is damaged. In order to solve such a problem, it may be intended to form a sealing liner of a required shape on the inner surface of the top wall of the container lid separately from the container lid body by a well-known embossing method. This significantly increases the manufacturing cost of the container lid.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned facts, and the main technical problem is that a dome phenomenon is generated on the top wall of the container lid even though it can be manufactured without increasing the manufacturing cost. Provided is an improved synthetic resin container lid in which the sealing of the mouth and neck by the container lid is sufficiently reliably maintained even when a considerably large load is applied to the top wall of the container lid. That is.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of diligent research and experiments, the present inventors have surprisingly found that the annular contact in the form of contacting the annular boundary surface extending in an arc shape in the cross-sectional view, not the top surface of the mouth and neck that extends substantially horizontally. If the piece is changed, the dome phenomenon is generated on the top wall of the container lid, and even if a considerably large load is applied to the top wall of the container lid, the mouth and neck of the container lid is sufficiently sealed. Found that can be maintained. The reason why it becomes possible to maintain the sealing of the mouth-and-neck part sufficiently reliably by making the above changes to the annular contact piece of the container lid is not necessarily clear, but the present inventors I guess that. In general, when used because Shi not generate dome phenomenon top panel wall, the top wall at the inside of the region it is deformed above the annular boundary surface of the mouth-and-neck. In other words, with the annular boundary surface of the mouth and neck as a so-called fulcrum, the top wall bulges upward as it goes toward the center. When the annular abutment piece of the container lid is brought into contact with the top surface that is inside the annular boundary surface of the mouth-and-neck portion, a piled load is applied to the top surface wall while a dome phenomenon is generated on the top surface wall. When a load is applied, the top wall is deformed, and the annular contact piece is also deformed or moved in accordance with this, and the deformation of the top wall is also transmitted to the annular seal piece. The neck seal is damaged. On the other hand, when the annular contact piece of the container lid is brought into contact with the annular boundary surface of the mouth and neck, that is, a so-called fulcrum in the deformation of the top wall, the annular contact piece is deformed or moved by the deformation of the top wall. The tendency is considerably suppressed, and the tendency of the annular seal piece to be deformed due to the deformation of the top wall is considerably suppressed, and thereby the sealing of the mouth and neck is maintained.
[0008]
That is, according to the present invention, as a synthetic resin container closure to achieve the above technical problems, the annular top surface to the upper end of the neck extending water earnestly, cylindrical outer peripheral surface which lead directly extends and an annular boundary surface extending in a circular arc Te sectional view odor from said top surface to said outer circumferential surface is applied to a container that is formed, comprises a cylindrical skirt wall extending downwardly from the peripheral edge of the circular top panel wall and the top panel wall Make a synthetic resin container lid,

[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
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.
[0011]
Referring to FIG. 1, a container lid 2, generally designated 2, constructed in accordance with the present invention is integrally formed from a synthetic resin, preferably a relatively rigid synthetic resin such as high density polyethylene or polypropylene. Is formed. The container lid 2 includes a circular top wall 4 and a substantially cylindrical skirt wall 6 depending from the peripheral edge of the top wall 4. The skirt wall 6 is formed with a breakable line 8 extending in the circumferential direction. The skirt wall 6 has a main portion 10 above the breakable line 8 and a tamper evidence skirt 12 below the breakable line 8. It is divided into. An annular shoulder surface 14 facing downward is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall 6, and a plurality of protrusions 16 extending downward from the annular shoulder surface 14 are formed at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction. ing. The breakable line 8 is formed by applying a cutting blade (not shown) from the outer peripheral surface of the skirt wall 6 at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the ridge 16 so that at least a part of the ridge 16 remains. It is formed by cutting. The portions of the ridges 16 that remain without being cut off constitute a so-called bridge portion 18, and the tamper evidence skirt portion 12 is connected to the main portion 10 of the skirt wall 6 via the bridge portion 18. ing.
[0012]
On the outer peripheral surface of the main portion 10 of the skirt wall 6, a truncated cone-shaped portion 20 whose outer diameter gradually increases downward is formed in the vicinity of the lower end portion thereof. The outer peripheral surface of the tamper evidence skirt 12 is also formed into a truncated cone shape whose outer diameter gradually increases downward. On the outer peripheral surface of the main portion 10, a concave / convex shape 22 is formed in a portion located above the frustoconical portion 20 to prevent slipping of a finger hung thereon. A female thread 24 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the main portion 10 of the skirt wall 6. The female thread 24 is formed with a notch 26 extending in the axial direction at an appropriate interval in the circumferential direction. The notch 26 forms a so-called air passage when the mouth and neck of the container is opened.
[0013]
Locking means 28 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the tamper evidence skirt 12. The locking means 28 in the illustrated embodiment is composed of an annular projecting piece 30 that extends continuously in the circumferential direction. The annular projecting piece 30 is projected so as to incline upward in the radial direction from the base edge connected to the inner peripheral surface of the tamper evidence skirt 12. In the annular projecting piece 30, slits 32 extending from the tip to the vicinity of the base edge are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. If desired, instead of the annular projecting piece 30, for example, a flap piece, an arc-shaped ridge, or a ratchet claw (in the case of a ratchet claw, the locking means in the mouth and neck of the container described later is not an annular jaw part, but corresponds The latching means can also be constituted by a projection piece, a ridge, a projection or the like of another appropriate form such as a ratchet claw.
[0014]
With further reference to Figure 2 in conjunction with FIG. 1, the outer peripheral portion of the inner surface of the top panel wall 4, an annular seal piece 34, an annular contact piece 36 and the annular positioning piece 38 is formed. The annular seal piece 34 in the illustrated embodiment extends from the inner surface of the top wall 4 so as to be inclined inward in the radial direction downward. More specifically, the annular seal piece 34 extends substantially parallel to the outer peripheral surface 40 and the outer peripheral surface 40 extending downward at an inclination angle α that may be approximately 20 degrees radially inward. An upper inner peripheral surface 42, an intermediate inner peripheral surface 43 extending substantially vertically downward following the upper inner peripheral surface 42, and a lower inner portion extending radially outwardly following the intermediate inner peripheral surface 43. It has a peripheral surface 44 and a tip surface 46 extending substantially horizontally. The annular contact piece 36 is positioned immediately inside the annular seal piece 34 when viewed in the radial direction, and is formed from a bulged portion that is bulged downward from the inner surface of the top wall 4. Has been. The annular positioning piece 38 is disposed at a required distance inward in the radial direction from the contact piece 36, and extends substantially vertically downward from the inner surface of the top wall 4. The annular positioning piece 38 has an upper peripheral surface 48 that extends substantially vertically, a lower outer peripheral surface 50 that extends obliquely inward in the radial direction downward, a tip surface 52 that extends substantially horizontally, and a substantially vertical surface. And an inner peripheral surface 54 that extends.
[0015]
In FIG. 2, a part of the mouth and neck of the container to which the container lid 2 is applied is also shown by a two-dot chain line. A container that can be formed from an appropriate synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate or glass includes a substantially cylindrical mouth-and-neck portion 56. A male thread 58 and an annular locking jaw 60 (FIG. 3) located below the male thread 58 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the neck 56. The upper end located above the male thread 58 has an annular top surface 62 that extends substantially horizontally, a cylindrical outer peripheral surface 64 that extends substantially vertically, and from the annular top surface 62 to the cylindrical outer peripheral surface 64. In the cross-sectional view, an annular boundary surface 66 extending substantially in an arc shape, a cylindrical inner peripheral surface 68 extending substantially vertically, and between the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 68 and the annular top surface 62 over a slight length. It is defined by an annular boundary surface 70 extending in an arc shape in the cross-sectional view.
[0016]
As can be understood by referring to FIG. 2, the minimum inner diameter D1 of the annular seal piece 34 in the container lid 2 is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter D2 of the upper end of the mouth-and-neck portion 56 of the container. It is preferable that −D1 = 0.30 to 1.00 mm. If D2-D1 is excessively small, sealing of the mouth-and-neck portion 56 with the annular seal piece 34 tends to be incomplete, and if D2-D1 is excessively large, it is difficult to mount the container lid on the mouth-and-neck portion 56. Tend to be. The maximum outer diameter D3 of the annular positioning piece 38 is set to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter D4 of the upper end portion of the mouth-and-neck portion 56 of the container, and is about D4-D3 = 0.07 to 0.16 mm. preferable. If D4-D3 is too small, it tends to be difficult to position the annular positioning piece 38 in the mouth-neck 56 when the container lid is attached to the mouth-neck of the container, and D4-D3 is excessive. If it is large, the alignment action between the mouth-and-neck portion 56 and the container lid 2 by the annular positioning piece 38 tends not to function effectively.
[0017]
FIG. 3 illustrates a state in which the container lid 2 is attached to the mouth / neck portion 56 of the container as required. 1 and to FIG 2 when both further reference to FIG. 3, when sealing the mouth-and-neck 56 by mounting the container closure 2 on the mouth-and-neck portion 56 of the container, the container closure to the mouth and neck 56 2 is fitted and rotated in the closing direction, that is, clockwise as viewed from above in FIG. 3, and the female thread 24 of the container lid 2 is screwed onto the male thread 58 of the mouth-and-neck portion 56. At this time, the annular positioning piece 38 of the container lid 2 is lowered along the inner peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 56, and the container lid 2 is aligned with the mouth-and-neck portion 56. The center axis of the container lid 2 is aligned with the center axis. When the container lid 2 is rotated in the closing direction with the required torque and the female thread 24 is screwed onto the male thread 58 until the state shown in FIG. 3, the annular seal piece 34 of the container lid 2 is moved to the upper end of the mouth-and-neck portion 56. It is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface 64 of the part and is deflected somewhat outward in the radial direction, whereby the mouth-and-neck part 56 is sealed. Further, the annular contact piece 36 of the container lid 2 is brought into contact with the annular boundary surface 66 at the upper end portion of the mouth-and-neck portion 56 and is somewhat compressed. The locking means 28 formed on the tamper evidence skirt 12 of the container lid 2 is elastically deformed radially outward and passes through the annular jaw 60 of the mouth-and-neck 56, and then elastically restored. Thus, it is locked to the lower surface of the annular jaw 60.
[0018]
In a state where the container lid 2 is attached to the mouth / neck portion 56 of the container and the mouth / neck portion 56 is sealed, when the ambient temperature rises and a considerably large gas pressure is generated in the container, a two-dot chain line in FIG. As shown, a dome phenomenon occurs on the top wall 4 of the container lid 2, that is, the portion of the annular contact piece 36 where the top wall 4 is in contact with the annular boundary surface 66 at the upper end of the mouth-and-neck portion 56 is so-called. As a fulcrum, it bulges upwards toward the center and deforms into a dome shape. However, as will be understood from the description of Examples and Comparative Examples described later, the annular contact piece 36 is brought into contact with the annular boundary surface 66 instead of the annular top surface 62 at the upper end portion of the mouth-and-neck portion 56. Even if a considerably large load is applied to the outer surface of the top wall 4 in a state where a dome phenomenon has occurred in the top wall 4 of the container lid 2, the sealing of the mouth and neck portion 56 is maintained without being damaged.
[0019]
When opening the mouth-and-neck portion 56 of the container, the container lid 2 is rotated in the opening direction, that is, counterclockwise as viewed from above in FIG. In this way, the tamper evidence skirt 12 has the locking means 28 formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof locked on the lower surface of the annular jaw 60 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 56. The other part of the container lid 2 is raised as the male screw 58 and the female screw 24 are unscrewed by rotation. Accordingly, a considerable stress is generated in the breakable line 8 formed in the skirt wall 6, more specifically, in the bridge portion 18, so that the bridge portion 18 is broken, and the tamper evidence skirt 12 is formed on the skirt wall 6. It is separated from the main part 10. Next, portions of the container lid 2 other than the tamper evidence skirt 12 are freely moved upward with rotation and detached from the mouth-and-neck portion 56. When the portion of the container lid 2 other than the tamper evidence skirt 12 is moved upward by the required distance, the contact piece 36 is separated from the annular boundary surface 66 at the upper end of the mouth-and-neck portion 56, and also the annular seal. The piece 34 is separated from the outer peripheral surface 64 of the upper end portion of the mouth / neck portion 56, and thus the sealing of the mouth / neck portion 56 is released.
[0020]
In the illustrated embodiment, when opening the mouth / neck portion 56 of the container, all the bridging portions 18 in the breakable line 8 formed in the skirt wall 6 of the container lid 2 are broken, and the tamper evidence. The skirt 12 is completely separated from the main portion 10 of the skirt wall 6, and the tamper evidence skirt 12 is left on the mouth and neck 56 without being detached from the mouth and neck 56. If desired, at least one of the bridging portions 18 in the breakable line 8 is made to be a strong bridging portion that is maintained without being broken, and the breakable line that extends in the axial direction to the tamper evidence skirt 12. (Not shown) When opening the mouth and neck portion 56, the breakable line extending in the axial direction is broken, and the tamper evident skirt portion 12 is developed from an endless annular shape to an end band shape, The tamper-evidence skirt 12 that continues to be connected to the main portion 10 of the skirt wall 6 through the strong bridge that is maintained without being removed can also be detached from the mouth-and-neck portion 56.
[0022]
FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of a container lid constructed in accordance with the present invention. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 , the annular contact piece 36 is constituted by a protruding piece that protrudes downward or radially inward from the outer peripheral edge of the inner surface of the top wall 4, and the outer peripheral surface of the annular seal piece 34. 40 and a lower inner peripheral surface 74 extending substantially vertically and a slight inclination angle of about 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction toward the inner side in the radial direction. And a lower surface 76 extending obliquely downward. Such annular contact piece 36, as shown in FIG. 4 by a two-dot chain line, is bent upward is brought into contact with the annular boundary surface 66 of the upper end of the neck 56. The other configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is substantially the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIGS.
[0023]
As will be understood from the description of Examples and Comparative Examples described later, even Oite the implementation type state illustrated in FIG. 4, an annular contact piece 36 is not a circular top surface 62 at the upper end of the mouth-and-neck 56 Even if a considerably large load is applied to the outer surface of the top surface wall 4 in the state where the dome phenomenon occurs on the top surface wall 4 of the container lid 2, the sealing of the mouth and neck portion 56 is prevented. Maintained without damage.
