Therefore, the adjustable range of the crown opening area can be increased.

  Moreover, when the operating member is moved to the reduced diameter side, a force that tilts the crown inwardly acts on the operating member as the insertion portion tilts, but one end of the operating member is fixed to the bottle skin. In addition, since the other end is locked to the bottle skin, it is possible to reduce the tilt of the operation member by applying a stress that resists the tilt to the inside of the operation member. It is possible to suppress a decrease in fit to the head due to a decrease in the contact area between the operation member and the head during the diameter operation.

A fifth characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the insertion portion of the bottle skin is formed of an elastic material.

  According to the above characteristic configuration, when the operating member is operated to reduce the diameter, the insertion portion follows the operating member and elastically deforms to the reduced diameter side, so that the operating range of the operating member is widened and the crown opening area is adjusted. Since the possible range can be further increased, and the tensile force toward the other end side of the operation member fixed to the bottle skin can be absorbed and reduced by the insertion portion, one end of the operation member can be reduced. The deformation of the crown due to the tensile force applied to the part acting on the crown via the bottle skin can be suppressed, and the appearance can be further prevented from being damaged when the head size is adjusted.
