Used to seal two pull top openings 3.

ここで、図9及び図10を参照して、プルトップタブ4及びプルトップ開口3の構成について簡単に説明する。プルトップタブ4は、リベット等を用いたタブ固定部5により缶本体に取り付けられている。プルトップタブ4のリング状の引き上げ部4aを上方に引き上げることにより、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bが口金が下方に押し下げられ、これによってプルトップ開口3が開栓される。プルトップダブ4のタブ固定部5の周辺部にける引き上げ部4a側には、引き上げ部4a側に延設された延設部4cが設けられている。   Here, with reference to FIG.9 and FIG.10, the structure of the pull top tab 4 and the pull top opening 3 is demonstrated easily. The pull top tab 4 is attached to the can body by a tab fixing portion 5 using a rivet or the like. By pulling the ring-shaped pulling-up portion 4a of the pull-top tab 4 upward, the base-pressing portion 4b of the pull-top tab 4 pushes the base downward, whereby the pull-top opening 3 is opened. On the side of the lifting portion 4a in the peripheral portion of the tab fixing portion 5 of the pull-top dove 4, an extending portion 4c extending to the lifting portion 4a side is provided.

封止具1は、図1ないし図6に示すように、本体部11と、開閉部12と、ロック部及び操作部としてのロック部材13と、封止部14と、プルトップ押し下げ部15とを備えている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the sealing tool 1 includes a main body part 11, an opening / closing part 12, a lock member 13 as a lock part and an operation part, a sealing part 14, and a pull-top push-down part 15. I have.

本体部11は、ベース部21、左右両側の係合部22、後方側の係合部23、及び結合部としての軸支部24を備えている。ベース部21は、この封止具1が飲料用缶2に装着されたときに飲料用缶2の天板6の上方において、天板6と略平行に配置され、天板6の略半分程度の領域を覆うようになっている。左右の係合部22は、飲料用缶2の上蓋部7と部8とを結合するかしめ部9の下側の周方向に連なる溝状の凹部に左右両側から嵌り込んで着脱可能に係合する(図4参照)。後方の係合部23は、かしめ部9の下側の前記凹部に後方側から嵌り込んで着脱可能に係合する(図10参照)。各係合部22,23の飲料用缶2の周面との当接面は、飲料缶2の周面に沿った円弧形状を有している。 The main body 11 includes a base portion 21, left and right engaging portions 22, a rear engaging portion 23, and a shaft support portion 24 as a coupling portion. The base portion 21 is disposed substantially parallel to the top plate 6 above the top plate 6 of the beverage can 2 when the sealing tool 1 is attached to the beverage can 2. It covers the area. The left and right engaging portions 22 are detachably engaged by being fitted from both left and right sides into groove-like recesses that are continuous in the circumferential direction below the caulking portion 9 that joins the upper lid portion 7 and the body portion 8 of the beverage can 2. (See FIG. 4). The rear engaging portion 23 is fitted into the concave portion on the lower side of the caulking portion 9 from the rear side so as to be detachably engaged (see FIG. 10). The contact surface of each engaging portion 22, 23 with the peripheral surface of the beverage can 2 has an arc shape along the peripheral surface of the beverage can 2.

そして、本体部11は、後述する開閉部12が開放された状態で、後述する図9に示すように、上蓋部7の略側方からスライドさせるようにして左右の係合部22をかしめ部9に係合させることにより、上蓋部7に装着される。このとき、円弧形状の当接面を有する左右の係合部22が飲料用缶2の周面に嵌合することにより、本体部11が上蓋部7上の所定位置に位置決めされる(例えば、本実施形態の場合、後述する軸支部24の回転軸24aが上蓋部7の略中心軸上を通る位置に位置決めされる)。また、本体部11が上蓋部7に装着されるのに伴って後方の係合部23がかしめ部9に係合する。   And the main body part 11 is a state in which the right and left engaging parts 22 are caulked by sliding from substantially the side of the upper lid part 7 as shown in FIG. 9 described later with the opening / closing part 12 described later opened. By being engaged with 9, it is attached to the upper lid portion 7. At this time, the left and right engaging portions 22 having arcuate contact surfaces are fitted to the peripheral surface of the beverage can 2, whereby the main body portion 11 is positioned at a predetermined position on the upper lid portion 7 (for example, In the case of the present embodiment, the rotation shaft 24a of the shaft support portion 24 to be described later is positioned at a position passing through the substantially central axis of the upper lid portion 7). Further, as the main body portion 11 is attached to the upper lid portion 7, the rear engaging portion 23 engages with the caulking portion 9.

なお、このような係合部22,23は、例えばベース部21を構成する板材の外縁部の一部を外方に延設させ、その延設させた部分を断面略U字形に下方に折り曲げることにより形成される。また、後方の係合部23については省略可能である。   In addition, such engaging parts 22 and 23 extend a part of the outer edge part of the board | plate material which comprises the base part 21 outward, for example, and bend the extended part below in the cross-sectional substantially U shape. Is formed. Further, the rear engaging portion 23 can be omitted.

軸支部24は、開閉部12が上蓋部7に対して近接、離反する方向に開閉するように、開閉部12を軸支している。この軸支部24は、開閉部12の回転軸24aがベース部21の上面よりも上方に位置するように、ベース部21の上面から上方に突設されている。また、軸支部24には、開閉部12を開方向に付勢するつる巻きバネ24bが回転軸24aの回りに設けられている。なお、このつる巻きバネ24bは必ずしも必須のものでなく、省略さいてもよい。   The shaft support part 24 supports the opening / closing part 12 so that the opening / closing part 12 opens and closes in a direction approaching and separating from the upper lid part 7. The shaft support portion 24 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the base portion 21 so that the rotation shaft 24 a of the opening / closing portion 12 is positioned above the upper surface of the base portion 21. The shaft support 24 is provided with a helical spring 24b that urges the opening / closing portion 12 in the opening direction around the rotation shaft 24a. The helical spring 24b is not necessarily essential and may be omitted.

開閉部12は、本体部11のベース部21の前方側において開閉動作可能な状態で軸支部24によって軸支されている。閉じられたときは、開閉部12はベース部21と平行に連なった状態となる(図1及び図3に示す状態)。また、開閉部12が閉じられた閉鎖位置にあるときは、後述するロック部材13によりロックされ、ロックが解除されるまで閉鎖位置に保持される。ロック部材13によるロックが解除されたときは、開閉部12は例えば図5に示すように(あるいは図5の状態よりも大きな開き角度で)、ベース部21の上方に回転可能とされる。なお、ロック部材13によるロックが解除されるの伴って、つる巻きバネ24bの付勢力により、開閉部12は閉鎖位置から上方に回転される。   The opening / closing part 12 is pivotally supported by a shaft support part 24 in a state where the opening / closing operation is possible on the front side of the base part 21 of the main body part 11. When closed, the opening / closing part 12 is connected in parallel with the base part 21 (the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 3). When the opening / closing part 12 is in the closed position, the opening / closing part 12 is locked by a lock member 13 described later, and is held in the closed position until the lock is released. When the lock by the lock member 13 is released, the opening / closing part 12 can be rotated above the base part 21, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (or at a larger opening angle than the state of FIG. 5). As the lock by the lock member 13 is released, the opening / closing part 12 is rotated upward from the closed position by the biasing force of the helical spring 24b.

このような開閉部12の左右両側の側面部には、ロック部材13の後述するロック部26bが嵌り込んで係合する係合凹部12aが設けられている。   Engagement recesses 12a into which lock portions 26b (described later) of the lock member 13 are fitted and engaged are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the opening / closing portion 12 as described above.

ロック部材13は、開閉部12が閉じられたときに(閉鎖位置にセットされたときに)、開閉部12に係合して開閉部12を閉鎖位置にロックするとともに、操作者から与えられる操作力に基づいて開閉部12との係合状態を解除(ロック解除)する。ロック部材13の具体的な構成については種々の構成が採用可能であるが、本実施形態では図6等に示す構成が採用されている。   When the opening / closing part 12 is closed (when set to the closed position), the lock member 13 engages with the opening / closing part 12 to lock the opening / closing part 12 in the closed position, and an operation given by the operator Based on the force, the engaged state with the opening / closing part 12 is released (unlocked). Various configurations can be employed as the specific configuration of the lock member 13, but the configuration shown in FIG. 6 and the like is employed in the present embodiment.

この図6等に示すロック部材13は、全体として樹脂製の左右に二股に分かれた板状の部材であり、左右の腕部26と、その左右の腕部26を結合する部分に設けられた操作部27とを備えている。各腕部26の中間部には、本体部11のベース部21にボルト等の固定具28が挿通された支持孔26aが設けられている。各腕部26の先端部の内側の部分が開閉部12の係合凹部12aと係合するロック部26bとなっている。また、左右の腕部26と操作部27とが略直角をなすように結合された部分(屈曲部29)は、操作力により操作部27が矢印B1方向に押圧移動されたときに、腕部26と操作部27との成す角度(屈曲角度)が小さくなるように弾性的に変形する。この変形に伴って、左右の腕部26が支持孔26aの回りに回転し、これ伴って左右の腕部26のロック部26bが矢印B2で示すように外側に移動される。そして、操作部27に対する操作力が解除されるのに伴って、屈曲部29の変形が元の状態に復帰し、これによって操作部27及びロック部26bが元の位置に復帰する。   The lock member 13 shown in FIG. 6 and the like is a plate-like member made of resin as a whole and divided into left and right, and is provided at the left and right arm portions 26 and a portion connecting the left and right arm portions 26. And an operation unit 27. A support hole 26 a in which a fixing tool 28 such as a bolt is inserted into the base portion 21 of the main body portion 11 is provided in an intermediate portion of each arm portion 26. The inner part of the tip of each arm part 26 is a lock part 26 b that engages with the engagement recess 12 a of the opening / closing part 12. Further, the portion (bending portion 29) where the left and right arm portions 26 and the operation portion 27 are coupled so as to form a substantially right angle is the arm portion when the operation portion 27 is pressed and moved in the direction of the arrow B1 by the operation force. 26 and the operation portion 27 are elastically deformed so that an angle (bending angle) formed therebetween becomes small. Along with this deformation, the left and right arm portions 26 rotate around the support hole 26a, and accordingly, the lock portions 26b of the left and right arm portions 26 are moved outward as indicated by an arrow B2. Then, as the operation force on the operation unit 27 is released, the deformation of the bent portion 29 returns to the original state, whereby the operation unit 27 and the lock unit 26b return to their original positions.

左右のロック部26bの上面26cは、図7に示すように、左右方向の内方に向けて斜め下方に傾斜した傾斜面となっている。これによって、開閉部12が閉じられるときに、開閉部12の左右両端の下面側のエッジがロック部26bの上面26cに摺接されつつ下方に進み、これに伴って、左右の腕部26が左右方向外方に撓み、ロック部26bが矢印B2で示すように外側に押しやられる。そして、図8に示すように開閉部12が閉鎖位置に到達するのに伴って、左右のロック部26bが矢印B3で示す左右方向内方に復帰し、開閉部12の係合凹部12aに嵌まり込み、これによって開閉部12の動きが止められる(ロックがかけられる)。開閉部12を開くときは、上述のように、ロック部材13の操作部27を矢印B1方向(前方)に押圧移動させて、左右のロック部26bを矢印B2方向(左右方向外方)に移動させ、ロック部26bと係合凹部12aとの係合を解除させる(ロックを解除する)。このロック解除に伴って、開閉部12はつる巻きバネ24bの付勢力により上方に跳ね上げられるように開放される。   As shown in FIG. 7, the upper surfaces 26c of the left and right lock portions 26b are inclined surfaces inclined obliquely downward toward the inner side in the left-right direction. As a result, when the opening / closing part 12 is closed, the edges on the lower surfaces of the left and right ends of the opening / closing part 12 move downward while being in sliding contact with the upper surface 26c of the lock part 26b. Bending outward in the left-right direction, the lock portion 26b is pushed outward as indicated by arrow B2. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, as the opening / closing part 12 reaches the closed position, the left and right lock parts 26b return inward in the left-right direction indicated by the arrow B3, and are fitted into the engaging recesses 12a of the opening / closing part 12. The jamming and the movement of the opening / closing part 12 are stopped (locked). When opening the opening / closing part 12, as described above, the operation part 27 of the lock member 13 is pressed and moved in the direction of arrow B1 (forward), and the left and right lock parts 26b are moved in the direction of arrow B2 (outward in the left-right direction). The engagement between the lock portion 26b and the engagement recess 12a is released (the lock is released). Along with this unlocking, the opening / closing part 12 is opened so as to be flipped upward by the biasing force of the helical spring 24b.

封止部14は、開閉部12における飲料用缶2の上蓋部7に向けられる面(閉鎖位置にあるときの下面)に設けられ、本体部11が上蓋部7に装着された状態で開閉部12が閉じられたときに、プルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着してプルトップ開口3を封止する。このような封止部14は、支持部材31、封止材32、押さえ部材33、固定手段としての固定具34、及び補助部材35を備えている。   The sealing portion 14 is provided on the surface (the lower surface when in the closed position) facing the upper lid portion 7 of the beverage can 2 in the opening / closing portion 12, and the opening / closing portion is attached to the upper lid portion 7. When 12 is closed, the pull-top opening 3 is sealed in close contact with the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3. Such a sealing portion 14 includes a support member 31, a sealing material 32, a pressing member 33, a fixture 34 as a fixing means, and an auxiliary member 35.

支持部材31は、開閉部12の下面に結合された第1の取付部31aと、折曲げ部31bを介して第1の取付部31aと結合された第2の取付部31cとを有する。そして、第1の取付部31aと第2の取付部31cとの間の間隔を増減させるような外力に対して、折曲げ部31bが弾性変形する。なお、本実施形態では支持部材31を開閉部12を構成する部材と別部材として構成し、これらを接着剤等で接合するようにしているが、これらを連続した単一の部材により構成してもよい。   The support member 31 includes a first attachment portion 31a coupled to the lower surface of the opening / closing portion 12, and a second attachment portion 31c coupled to the first attachment portion 31a via a bent portion 31b. And the bending part 31b elastically deforms with respect to the external force which increases / decreases the space | interval between the 1st attachment part 31a and the 2nd attachment part 31c. In the present embodiment, the support member 31 is configured as a separate member from the member constituting the opening / closing part 12 and is joined with an adhesive or the like. However, these are configured by a single continuous member. Also good.

封止材32は、略ゴム状の弾性を有するシート状の部材(例えば、シリコンゴム等のゴムシート材)であり、支持部材31の第2の取付部31cに重ね合わせるようにして配置され、プルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着して封止する。封止材32の外形サイズは、プルトップ開口3の外形サイズよりもいくらか大きめに設定されている。封止材32が略ゴム状の弾性を有しているため、プルトップ開口3の周縁部に位置する凹凸を吸収し、周縁部に確実に密着させることができる。   The sealing material 32 is a sheet-like member having substantially rubber-like elasticity (for example, a rubber sheet material such as silicon rubber), and is disposed so as to overlap the second attachment portion 31c of the support member 31. The pull top opening 3 is sealed in close contact with the peripheral edge. The outer size of the sealing material 32 is set to be slightly larger than the outer size of the pull top opening 3. Since the sealing material 32 has substantially rubber-like elasticity, the unevenness located at the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 can be absorbed and securely adhered to the peripheral edge.

押さえ部材33は、断面が所定の屈曲形状に仕上げられた略板状の部材であり、封止材32を支持部材31の第2の取付部31cとの間で挟み込むようにして支持する。この押さえ部材33は、封止材32の先端側(特に挿入先端部32a)の姿勢(又は形状)を調節する役割も担っている。   The pressing member 33 is a substantially plate-like member whose cross section is finished in a predetermined bent shape, and supports the sealing material 32 so as to be sandwiched between the second mounting portion 31 c of the supporting member 31. The pressing member 33 also plays a role of adjusting the posture (or shape) of the front end side (particularly, the insertion distal end portion 32a) of the sealing material 32.

固定具34は、例えば大径の頭部を有するピン部材34a(例えば、ボルト)、及びそのピン部材34aの脚部に外嵌されるリング部材34b(例えば、ナット)等を備えている。そして、第2の取付部31c、封止材32及び押さえ部材33に設けられた貫通孔にピン部材34aのピン部材34aの脚部が通された状態で、その脚部にリング部材34bが外嵌されることにより、第2の取付部31cと押さえ部材33とが封止材32を挟み込んだ状態で固定される。   The fixture 34 includes, for example, a pin member 34a (for example, a bolt) having a large-diameter head, and a ring member 34b (for example, a nut) that is externally fitted to the leg portion of the pin member 34a. Then, in a state where the leg portion of the pin member 34a of the pin member 34a is passed through the through holes provided in the second attachment portion 31c, the sealing material 32, and the pressing member 33, the ring member 34b is attached to the leg portion. By fitting, the second attachment portion 31c and the pressing member 33 are fixed in a state where the sealing material 32 is sandwiched therebetween.

補助部材35は、支持部材31の第2の取付部31cと封止材32の後端側の部分との間に配置された略板状の部材であり、封止材32の後端側の部分の姿勢(又は形状)を調節する役割等を担っている。   The auxiliary member 35 is a substantially plate-like member disposed between the second attachment portion 31 c of the support member 31 and the rear end side portion of the sealing material 32, and is provided on the rear end side of the sealing material 32. It plays the role of adjusting the posture (or shape) of the part.

このような封止部14の構成により、開閉部12がプルトップ開口3の略上方に位置するように本体部11が上蓋部7に装着された状態で、開閉部12が閉じられたときに、封止材32がプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着し、プルトップ開口3が封止される。このとき、支持部材31の折曲げ部31bの弾性により、封止材32を適度な押圧力でプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着させることができる。これによって、プルトップ開口3の封止の信頼性が向上する。   With such a configuration of the sealing portion 14, when the opening / closing portion 12 is closed in a state where the main body portion 11 is mounted on the upper lid portion 7 so that the opening / closing portion 12 is positioned substantially above the pull-top opening 3, The sealing material 32 is brought into close contact with the peripheral edge of the pull top opening 3, and the pull top opening 3 is sealed. At this time, due to the elasticity of the bent portion 31 b of the support member 31, the sealing material 32 can be brought into close contact with the peripheral portion of the pull-top opening 3 with an appropriate pressing force. Thereby, the reliability of sealing of the pull top opening 3 is improved.

また、この封止部14の封止材32には、本体部11が飲料用缶2の上蓋部7に装着されたときに、上蓋部7の径方向内方に向けて張り出す挿入先端部32aが設けられている(図3参照)。この挿入先端部32aは、開閉部12がプルトップ開口3の略上方に位置するように本体部11が上蓋部7に装着された状態で、開閉部12が閉じられたときに、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bの下側に挿入され、プルトップ開口3の周縁部における上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する(図10参照)。これによって、ステイオンタブ式の飲料用缶2の場合であっても、プルトップ開口3を確実に封止できる。   In addition, the sealing material 32 of the sealing portion 14 has an insertion tip portion that protrudes radially inward of the upper lid portion 7 when the main body portion 11 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 of the beverage can 2. 32a is provided (see FIG. 3). The insertion tip portion 32a is formed when the opening / closing portion 12 is closed with the main body portion 11 attached to the upper lid portion 7 so that the opening / closing portion 12 is positioned substantially above the pull-top opening 3. It is inserted below the base push-down portion 4b and is in close contact with the radially inner side portion of the upper lid portion 7 at the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 (see FIG. 10). Accordingly, even in the case of the steion tub type beverage can 2, the pull-top opening 3 can be reliably sealed.

なお、本実施形態では、封止材32の挿入先端部32aとともに、押さえ部材33の先端部も口金押し下げ部4bの下側に挿入され、押さえ部材33の先端部によって封止材32の挿入先端部32aがプルトップ開口3の周縁部に押し付けられるようになっている。このため、この押さえ部材33の先端部も本発明に係る挿入先端部の一部として捉えることもできる。   In the present embodiment, together with the insertion tip portion 32 a of the sealing material 32, the tip portion of the pressing member 33 is also inserted below the base push-down portion 4 b, and the insertion tip of the sealing material 32 is inserted by the tip portion of the pressing member 33. The portion 32 a is pressed against the peripheral edge of the pull top opening 3. For this reason, the front-end | tip part of this pressing member 33 can also be grasped as a part of the insertion front-end | tip part which concerns on this invention.

プルトップ押し下げ部15は、本体部11のベース部21の下面側に設けられ、開閉部12がプルトップ開口3の略上方に位置するように本体部11が飲料用缶2の上蓋部7に装着されたときに、プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aが斜め上方に起こされている場合にその引き上げ部4aを下方に押し下げる。これによって、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bが上方に起こされる。このため、封止材32の挿入先端部32aの口金押し下げ部4bの下側への挿入を容易とすることができ、プルトップ開口3の封止の信頼性をさらに高めることができる。   The pull-top push-down portion 15 is provided on the lower surface side of the base portion 21 of the main body portion 11, and the main body portion 11 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 of the beverage can 2 so that the opening / closing portion 12 is positioned substantially above the pull-top opening 3. When the pulling-up portion 4a of the pull-top tab 4 is raised obliquely upward, the pulling-up portion 4a is pushed downward. As a result, the base pressing portion 4b of the pull top tab 4 is raised upward. For this reason, it is possible to facilitate the insertion of the sealing material 32 into the lower side of the base push-down portion 4b of the insertion tip portion 32a, and the sealing reliability of the pull-top opening 3 can be further enhanced.

また、プルトップ押し下げ部15は、スライド操作を伴う封止具1の着脱時にプルトップ押し下げ部15がプルトップタブ4に引っ掛かりスライド操作の障害にならないように、前方側及び後方側の表面が傾斜面又は湾曲面となっている。本実施形態では、プルトップ押し下げ部15を本体部11のベース部21を構成する部材と別部材とし、両者を接着剤等で接合する構成としたが、両者を連続した単一の部材として構成してもよい。   In addition, the front surface and the rear surface of the pull-top push-down portion 15 are inclined or curved so that the pull-top push-down portion 15 is caught on the pull-top tab 4 and does not obstruct the slide operation when the sealing device 1 accompanied by the slide operation is attached or detached. It is a surface. In the present embodiment, the pull-top push-down portion 15 is configured as a separate member from the member constituting the base portion 21 of the main body portion 11, and both are joined with an adhesive or the like. However, both are configured as a single continuous member. May be.

また、本実施形態に係る封止具1では、上述のように、本体部11の軸支部24が、開閉部12が開閉されるときの回転軸24aがベース部21の上面よりも上方に位置するように、ベース部21の上面から上方に突設されている。このため、開閉部12が閉じられるときに、封止部14の封止材32の挿入先端部32aを飲料用缶2の天板6に対してより平行に近い方向からプルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bの下側に挿入できる。これによって、口金押し下げ部4bがやや下方に変位されている場合等であっても、封止材32の挿入先端部32aを口金押し下げ部4bの下側へ確実に挿入させることできる。   Further, in the sealing tool 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the shaft support portion 24 of the main body portion 11 is positioned above the upper surface of the base portion 21 so that the rotation shaft 24a when the opening and closing portion 12 is opened and closed. In this manner, the base portion 21 protrudes upward from the upper surface. For this reason, when the opening / closing part 12 is closed, the insertion tip 32a of the sealing member 32 of the sealing part 14 is pushed down from the direction closer to the top plate 6 of the beverage can 2 than the base of the pull-top tab 4 It can be inserted below the portion 4b. As a result, even when the base push-down portion 4b is displaced slightly downward, the insertion tip 32a of the sealing material 32 can be reliably inserted below the base push-down portion 4b.

ここで、上述の封止具1における本体部11及び開閉部12は、複数の樹脂製の板材を重ね合わせるようにして配置して構成しているが、本体部11及び開閉部12をそれぞれ単一の樹脂部材により形成してもよい。あるいは、本体部11と開閉部12とを結合する軸支部24を薄肉状のヒンジ部として、本体部11と開閉部12とを連続した単一の樹脂部材により形成してもよい。あるいは、本体部11及び開閉部12の両方又はいずれか一方を金属性の部材により構成してもよい。   Here, the main body part 11 and the opening / closing part 12 in the above-described sealing tool 1 are configured by arranging a plurality of resin plate materials so as to overlap each other. You may form with one resin member. Alternatively, the shaft support part 24 that couples the main body part 11 and the opening / closing part 12 may be a thin-walled hinge part, and the main body part 11 and the opening / closing part 12 may be formed of a single continuous resin member. Or you may comprise both or any one of the main-body part 11 and the opening-and-closing part 12 with a metallic member.

次に、図9及び図10を参照して、封止具1の着脱操作について説明する。封止具1を装着するときは、開閉部12を開放させた状態で、図9に示すように、開閉部12が設けられる部分を前方側に向けて、上蓋部7の側方側におけるプルトップ開口3が設けられる側と反対側(プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aが設けられる側)の方向からスライドさせるようにして左右の係合部22をかしめ部9に係合させる。これに伴って、後方の係合部23もかしめ部9に係合する。これによって、封止具1の本体部11が、上蓋部7に装着される。このとき、開閉部12がプルトップ開口3の上方に位置している。   Next, with reference to FIG.9 and FIG.10, the attachment / detachment operation of the sealing tool 1 is demonstrated. When the sealing tool 1 is mounted, the pull top on the side of the upper lid portion 7 with the opening / closing portion 12 opened and the portion where the opening / closing portion 12 is provided facing forward as shown in FIG. The left and right engaging portions 22 are engaged with the caulking portion 9 so as to slide from the direction opposite to the side where the opening 3 is provided (the side where the pulling portion 4a of the pull top tab 4 is provided). Accordingly, the rear engaging portion 23 is also engaged with the caulking portion 9. As a result, the main body portion 11 of the sealing tool 1 is attached to the upper lid portion 7. At this time, the opening / closing part 12 is located above the pull-top opening 3.

続いて、図10に示すように、開閉部12を閉じることにより、封止材32がプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着し、プルトップ開口3が封止される。この開閉部12の閉鎖に伴って、ロック部材13の左右のロック部26bが開閉部12の係合凹部12aに係合し、開閉部12が閉鎖位置にロックされる。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10, by closing the opening / closing part 12, the sealing material 32 comes into close contact with the peripheral edge of the pull top opening 3, and the pull top opening 3 is sealed. As the opening / closing portion 12 is closed, the left and right locking portions 26b of the locking member 13 engage with the engaging recess 12a of the opening / closing portion 12, and the opening / closing portion 12 is locked in the closed position.

封止具1を取り外すときは、まず上述の如くロック部材13の操作部27を押圧操作して、ロック部材13による開閉部12のロックを解除する。このロック解除に伴って、開閉部12がつる巻きバネ24bの付勢力により上方に跳ね上げられるようにして開放する。この状態では、開閉部12の開放に伴ってプルトップ開口3が開放されるため、プルトップ開口3から飲料を取り出すことができる。すなわち、開閉部12を開閉させることにより、封止具1の本体部11を飲料用缶2に装着したままの状態でプルトップ開口3を封止、開放できる構成となっている。   When removing the sealing tool 1, first, the operation part 27 of the lock member 13 is pressed as described above, and the lock of the opening / closing part 12 by the lock member 13 is released. Along with this unlocking, the opening / closing part 12 is released so as to be flipped upward by the urging force of the helical spring 24b. In this state, since the pull-top opening 3 is opened with the opening / closing part 12 being opened, the beverage can be taken out from the pull-top opening 3. That is, by opening and closing the opening / closing part 12, the pull-top opening 3 can be sealed and opened while the main body part 11 of the sealing tool 1 is still attached to the beverage can 2.

続いて、封止具1をその後方側の部分(開閉部12が設けられる部分と反対側の部分)を先頭側にして、上蓋部7の径方向にスライドさせることにより、係合部22,23とかしめ部9との係合を解除する。   Subsequently, by sliding the sealing tool 1 in the radial direction of the upper lid part 7 with the rear side part (the part opposite to the part where the opening / closing part 12 is provided) being the leading side, the engaging parts 22, 23 is disengaged from the caulking portion 9.

以上のように、本実施形態に係る封止具1によれば、本体部11に設けられた複数の係合部22,23を、飲料用缶2の上蓋部7と部8とを結合するかしめ部9に係合させる構成であるため、封止具1の飲料用缶からの意図しない脱落等を確実に防止することができる。 As described above, according to the sealing tool 1 according to the present embodiment, the plurality of engaging portions 22 and 23 provided in the main body portion 11 are coupled to the upper lid portion 7 and the trunk portion 8 of the beverage can 2. Since it is the structure engaged with the caulking part 9, the unintentional drop-off etc. from the drink can of the sealing tool 1 can be prevented reliably.

また、上蓋部7の略側方からスライドさせるようにして左右の係合部22をかしめ部9に係合させることにより、封止具1の装着が行われるため、封止具1の飲料用缶2への装着を簡単に行うことができるとともに、封止具1を飲料用缶2に対して容易に着脱して繰り返し使用できる。   In addition, since the left and right engaging portions 22 are engaged with the caulking portion 9 so as to slide from substantially the side of the upper lid portion 7, the sealing device 1 is mounted. The can 2 can be easily mounted and the sealing tool 1 can be easily attached to and detached from the beverage can 2 for repeated use.

また、封止具1の本体部11が飲料用缶2の上蓋部7に装着された状態で開閉部が閉じられたときに、封止部14がプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着してプルトップ開口3を封止するため、上述の如く、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4b等の障害物を回避しながら飲料用缶のプルトップ開口3を確実に封止できる。   Further, when the opening / closing part is closed with the main body part 11 of the sealing tool 1 mounted on the upper lid part 7 of the beverage can 2, the sealing part 14 is brought into close contact with the peripheral part of the pull-top opening 3 and the pull-top. Since the opening 3 is sealed, as described above, the pull-top opening 3 of the beverage can can be reliably sealed while avoiding obstacles such as the base push-down portion 4b of the pull-top tab 4.

また、封止部14が設けられた開閉部12が開閉可能に本体部11に結合されているため、本体部11を飲料用缶2に装着するときに封止部14が邪魔になることがなく、本体部11の飲料用缶2への装着を容易に行うことができる。   Moreover, since the opening / closing part 12 provided with the sealing part 14 is coupled to the main body part 11 so as to be opened and closed, the sealing part 14 may become an obstacle when the main body part 11 is attached to the beverage can 2. The body portion 11 can be easily attached to the beverage can 2.

また、開閉部12に封止部14が設けられているため、開閉部12を開閉させることにより、封止具1の本体部11を飲料用缶2に装着したままの状態でプルトップ開口3を封止、開放でき、便利である。   In addition, since the opening / closing part 12 is provided with the sealing part 14, the pull-top opening 3 can be opened while the body part 11 of the sealing tool 1 is still attached to the beverage can 2 by opening / closing the opening / closing part 12. Convenient to seal and open.

なお、上述の第1実施形態に係る封止部14に関する変形例として、図11に示すように、支持部材31の第2の取付部31cに封止材32を直接固定してもよい。この場合、封止材32の固定手段としては、例えば接着剤、両面テープ等が用いられる。また、他の変形例として、支持部材31の第2の取付部31cを覆うようにして袋状の封止材32を取付部31cに装着するようにしてもよいし、インモールド成形等により第2の取付部31cの周囲を覆うようにして封止材32を形成してもよい。   As a modification of the sealing portion 14 according to the first embodiment described above, the sealing material 32 may be directly fixed to the second attachment portion 31c of the support member 31 as shown in FIG. In this case, as a fixing means for the sealing material 32, for example, an adhesive, a double-sided tape or the like is used. As another modification, a bag-like sealing material 32 may be attached to the attachment portion 31c so as to cover the second attachment portion 31c of the support member 31, or the first may be formed by in-mold molding or the like. The sealing material 32 may be formed so as to cover the periphery of the two attachment portions 31c.

この封止具1Aは、図12ないし図15に示すように、本体部41、封止部42、及びプルトップ挿入部43を備えて構成される。   As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the sealing tool 1 </ b> A includes a main body portion 41, a sealing portion 42, and a pull top insertion portion 43.

本体部41は、ベース部51、左右両側の係合部52及び後方側の係合部53を備えている。ベース部51は、この封止具1Aが飲料用缶2に装着されたときに飲料用缶2の天板6の上方において、天板6と略平行に配置され、天板6の略半分程度の領域を覆うようになっている。左右の係合部52は、飲料用缶2のかしめ部9の下側の凹部に左右両側から嵌り込んで着脱可能に係合する(図15参照)。後方の係合部53は、かしめ部9の下側の凹部に後方側から嵌り込んで着脱可能に係合する(図18又は図23参照)。各係合部52,53の飲料用缶2の周面との当接面は、飲料缶2の周面に沿った円弧形状を有している。   The main body portion 41 includes a base portion 51, left and right engaging portions 52, and a rear engaging portion 53. The base portion 51 is disposed substantially parallel to the top plate 6 above the top plate 6 of the beverage can 2 when the sealing tool 1A is attached to the beverage can 2 and is about half of the top plate 6. It covers the area. The left and right engaging portions 52 are detachably engaged by fitting into the lower recesses of the caulking portion 9 of the beverage can 2 from the left and right sides (see FIG. 15). The rear engaging portion 53 is removably engaged by fitting into the lower concave portion of the caulking portion 9 from the rear side (see FIG. 18 or FIG. 23). The contact surfaces of the engaging portions 52 and 53 with the peripheral surface of the beverage can 2 have an arc shape along the peripheral surface of the beverage can 2.

そして、本体部41は、後述する図16等に示すように、上蓋部7の略側方からスライドさせるようにして左右の係合部52をかしめ部9に係合させることにより、上蓋部7に装着される。このとき、円弧形状の当接面を有する左右の係合部22が飲料用缶2の周面に嵌合することにより、本体部11が上蓋部7上の所定位置に位置決めされる。また、本体部41が上蓋部7に装着されるのに伴って後方の係合部53がかしめ部9に係合する。   Then, as shown in FIG. 16 and the like, which will be described later, the main body portion 41 engages the caulking portion 9 with the left and right engaging portions 52 so as to slide from substantially the side of the upper lid portion 7. It is attached to. At this time, the left and right engaging portions 22 having arcuate contact surfaces are fitted to the peripheral surface of the beverage can 2, whereby the main body portion 11 is positioned at a predetermined position on the upper lid portion 7. Further, as the main body portion 41 is attached to the upper lid portion 7, the rear engaging portion 53 engages with the caulking portion 9.

なお、このような係合部52,53は、例えばベース部51を構成する板材の外縁部の一部を外方に延設させ、その延設させた部分を断面略U字形に下方に折り曲げることにより形成される。また、後方の係合部53については省略可能である。   In addition, such engaging parts 52 and 53 extend a part of the outer edge part of the board | plate material which comprises the base part 51 outward, for example, and bend the extended part below in the cross-sectional substantially U shape. Is formed. Further, the rear engaging portion 53 can be omitted.

封止部42は、本体部41が飲料用缶2の上蓋部7に装着されたときに、プルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着してプルトップ開口3を封止する。この封止部42は、封止材54、及びその封止材54を支持する支持部55を備えている。   The sealing part 42 seals the pull-top opening 3 in close contact with the peripheral part of the pull-top opening 3 when the main body 41 is mounted on the upper lid part 7 of the beverage can 2. The sealing portion 42 includes a sealing material 54 and a support portion 55 that supports the sealing material 54.

支持部55は、本体部41のベース部51の下面から下方に突出するようにして設けられ、封止具1Aの前方側に開口した中空構造を有しており、この支持部55の中空部が、プルトップ挿入部43として機能する。本実施形態では、支持部55と本体部41のベース部51とを別部材として形成し、その両者を接着剤等で接合する構成としたが、支持部55とベース部51とを連続した単一の部材によって構成してもよい。   The support portion 55 is provided so as to protrude downward from the lower surface of the base portion 51 of the main body portion 41 and has a hollow structure opened to the front side of the sealing tool 1A. However, it functions as the pull top insertion portion 43. In the present embodiment, the support portion 55 and the base portion 51 of the main body portion 41 are formed as separate members, and both of them are joined with an adhesive or the like. However, the support portion 55 and the base portion 51 are connected continuously. You may comprise by one member.

封止材54は、略ゴム状の弾性を有するシート状の部材(例えば、シリコンゴム等のゴムシート材)であり、支持部55の底壁部55aの下面に固定手段(例えば、接着剤又は両面テープ等)により固定され、プルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着して封止する。封止材54の外形サイズは、プルトップ開口3の外形サイズよりもいくらか大きめに設定されている。封止材32が略ゴム状の弾性を有しているため、プルトップ開口3の周縁部に位置する凹凸を吸収し、周縁部に確実に密着させることができる。   The sealing material 54 is a substantially rubber-like sheet-like member (for example, a rubber sheet material such as silicon rubber), and a fixing means (for example, an adhesive or an adhesive or the like) is attached to the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 55a of the support portion 55. It is fixed by a double-sided tape or the like, and is in close contact with the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 and sealed. The outer size of the sealing material 54 is set somewhat larger than the outer size of the pull top opening 3. Since the sealing material 32 has substantially rubber-like elasticity, the unevenness located at the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 can be absorbed and securely adhered to the peripheral edge.

支持部55の底壁部55aにおける先端側(飲料用缶2の上蓋部7の径方向内方側)の縁部には、封止具1Aが飲料用缶2に装着された際に、支持部55がプルトップタブ4の固定部5と干渉しないように、円弧状の逃げ部(切欠部)55bが設けられている。なお、本実施形態では、封止材54の先端側にも支持部55aの逃げ部55bに対応して切欠部が設けられているが、封止材54については切欠部を設けず先端側の縁部を直線的な形状としてもよい。   At the edge of the bottom wall portion 55a of the support portion 55 on the front end side (the radially inner side of the upper lid portion 7 of the beverage can 2), the sealing tool 1A is supported when the beverage can 2 is mounted. An arc-shaped relief portion (notch portion) 55 b is provided so that the portion 55 does not interfere with the fixing portion 5 of the pull top tab 4. In the present embodiment, a notch portion is provided on the front end side of the sealing material 54 corresponding to the relief portion 55b of the support portion 55a. However, the sealing material 54 is not provided with a notch portion and is provided on the front end side. The edge portion may have a linear shape.

また、支持部55の後方側の外壁面55cは、封止具1Aを飲料用缶2から略側方にスライドさせて取り外すときに、支持部55が上蓋部7の上方に立ち上がった縁部に引っ掛からないように傾斜面又は湾曲面とされている。   In addition, the outer wall surface 55c on the rear side of the support portion 55 is formed on an edge portion where the support portion 55 rises above the upper lid portion 7 when the sealing tool 1A is slid substantially sideways from the beverage can 2 and removed. It is set as an inclined surface or a curved surface so as not to be caught.

このような封止部42の構成により、封止部42がプルトップ開口3の上方に位置するように本体部41が上蓋部7に装着されたときに、封止材54がプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着し、プルトップ開口3が封止される。   With such a configuration of the sealing portion 42, when the main body portion 41 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 so that the sealing portion 42 is positioned above the pull top opening 3, the sealing material 54 is the peripheral edge of the pull top opening 3. The pull top opening 3 is sealed.

また、この封止部42の封止材54の先端部は、支持部55の先端部と共に、本体部41が飲料用缶2の上蓋部7に装着されたときに、上蓋部7の径方向内方に向けて張り出す挿入先端部42aを構成している(図14等参照)。   Further, the front end portion of the sealing material 54 of the sealing portion 42 is aligned with the front end portion of the support portion 55 when the main body portion 41 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 of the beverage can 2 in the radial direction. An insertion tip portion 42a is formed to project inward (see FIG. 14 and the like).

この挿入先端部42aは、後述する第1の装着手法により、プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aがプルトップ挿入部43に挿入される方向から本体部41がスライドされて上蓋部7に装着されるのに伴って、プルトップタブ4の固定部5の周辺に位置する部分(本実施形態では、固定部5から引き出し部4a側に張り出す延設部4c)の下側に挿入され(図18参照)、封止部42がプルトップ開口3に対向するように封止具1Aがプルトップタブ4とともに回転されるのに伴って、プルトップ開口3の周縁部における上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する(図20参照)。これに関連して、支持部55の先端部(例えば、逃げ部55bの内周部)の上面側は、プルトップタブ4の延設部4cの下側への挿入が容易なようにテーパ面となている。   This insertion tip portion 42a is attached to the upper lid portion 7 by sliding the main body portion 41 from the direction in which the pulling portion 4a of the pull-top tab 4 is inserted into the pull-top insertion portion 43 by a first attachment method described later. Along with this, the portion of the pull-top tab 4 located around the fixing portion 5 (in this embodiment, the extended portion 4c projecting from the fixing portion 5 to the drawing portion 4a side) is inserted below (see FIG. 18). As the sealing tool 1A is rotated together with the pull-top tab 4 so that the sealing portion 42 faces the pull-top opening 3, it closely adheres to the radially inner side portion of the upper lid portion 7 at the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3. (See FIG. 20). In this connection, the upper surface side of the front end portion of the support portion 55 (for example, the inner peripheral portion of the escape portion 55b) is a tapered surface so that the insertion of the pull top tab 4 below the extended portion 4c is easy. It is.

また、挿入先端部42aは、後述する第2の装着手法により、封止部42がプルトップ開口3に対応する方向から本体部41が上蓋部7に装着されのに伴って、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bの下側に挿入され、プルトップ開口3の周縁部における上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する(図23参照)。   Further, the insertion tip portion 42a is attached to the base of the pull-top tab 4 as the main body portion 41 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 in a direction corresponding to the pull-top opening 3 by a second attachment method described later. It is inserted below the push-down portion 4b and is in close contact with the radially inner side portion of the upper lid portion 7 at the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 (see FIG. 23).

プルトップ挿入部43は、上述のように支持部55の中空部により構成され、前方側の開口部からプルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aを受け入れて保持する。このプルトップ挿入部43は、後述する第1の装着手法においてプルトップタブ4を回転させるために用いられる。なお、封止具1Aが専ら後述の第2の装着手法によって飲料用缶2に装着される場合には、プルトップ挿入部43を省略してもよい。   The pull top insertion portion 43 is configured by the hollow portion of the support portion 55 as described above, and receives and holds the pulling portion 4a of the pull top tab 4 from the opening on the front side. The pull top insertion portion 43 is used for rotating the pull top tab 4 in a first mounting method described later. In addition, when the sealing tool 1A is mounted on the beverage can 2 exclusively by the second mounting method described later, the pull-top insertion portion 43 may be omitted.

次に、図16ないし図20を参照して、この封止具1Aが第1の装着手法により飲料用缶2の装着される際の装着手順について説明する。まず、図16に示すように、プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aがプルトップ挿入部43に挿入される方向から本体部41をスライドさせて、左右の係合部52をかしめ部9に係合させる。これに伴って、後方の係合部53もかしめ部9に係合する。これによって、封止具1Aの本体部41が上蓋部7に装着される(図17及び図18参照)。   Next, with reference to FIG. 16 thru | or FIG. 20, the mounting procedure at the time of mounting | wearing with this sealing tool 1A with the 1st mounting | wearing method is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 16, the main body portion 41 is slid from the direction in which the pulling portion 4 a of the pull top tab 4 is inserted into the pull top insertion portion 43, and the left and right engagement portions 52 are engaged with the caulking portion 9. Accordingly, the rear engaging portion 53 is also engaged with the caulking portion 9. Thereby, the main body portion 41 of the sealing tool 1A is attached to the upper lid portion 7 (see FIGS. 17 and 18).

このとき、プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aが封止具1Aのプルトップ挿入部43内に挿入されて保持されている。また、この本体部41の装着に伴って、封止部42の挿入先端部42aが、プルトップタブ4の固定部55から引き出し部4a側に張り出す延設部4cの下側(すなわち、延設部4cと天板6との間に隙間)に挿入される。(図18参照)
続いて、封止具1Aを飲料用缶2の中心軸回りに図17の矢印B4の回転方向に約180度回転させ、封止部42の封止材54をプルトップ開口3と対向させる。これに伴って、封止材54がプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着して封止する(図19及び図20参照)。このとき、封止部42の挿入先端部42aが、プルトップ開口3の周縁部におけるプルトップタブ4の延設部4cの下側に位置する上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する。
At this time, the pulling portion 4a of the pull top tab 4 is inserted and held in the pull top insertion portion 43 of the sealing tool 1A. Further, along with the mounting of the main body 41, the insertion tip portion 42a of the sealing portion 42 is below the extension portion 4c (that is, the extension portion) protruding from the fixing portion 55 of the pull top tab 4 to the drawer portion 4a side. Between the portion 4c and the top plate 6; (See Figure 18)
Subsequently, the sealing tool 1 </ b> A is rotated about 180 degrees around the central axis of the beverage can 2 in the direction of the arrow B <b> 4 in FIG. 17, so that the sealing material 54 of the sealing portion 42 faces the pull-top opening 3. Along with this, the sealing material 54 comes into close contact with the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 and seals (see FIGS. 19 and 20). At this time, the insertion tip portion 42 a of the sealing portion 42 is in close contact with the radially inner side portion of the upper lid portion 7 located below the extended portion 4 c of the pull top tab 4 at the peripheral edge portion of the pull top opening 3.

そして、封止具1Aを飲料用缶2から取り外す際には、封止具1Aをその後方側の部分を先頭側にして(プルトップ挿入部43からプルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aが引き抜かれるように)、上蓋部7の径方向にスライドさせることにより、係合部52,53とかしめ部9との係合を解除する。   When removing the sealing tool 1A from the beverage can 2, the sealing tool 1A is placed with its rear side at the top (so that the pulling portion 4a of the pull top tab 4 is pulled out from the pull top insertion portion 43). ), The engagement between the engagement portions 52 and 53 and the caulking portion 9 is released by sliding the upper lid portion 7 in the radial direction.

次に、図21ないし図23を参照して、この封止具1Aが第2の装着手法により飲料用缶2の装着される際の装着手順について説明する。まず、図21に示すように、封止部42が飲料用缶2のプルトップ開口3に対応する方向から本体部41をスライドさせて、左右の係合部52をかしめ部9に係合させる。これに伴って、後方の係合部53もかしめ部9に係合する。これによって、封止具1Aの本体部41が上蓋部7に装着されるとともに、封止材54がプルトップ開口3の周縁部に密着して封止する(図22及び図23参照)。   Next, with reference to FIG. 21 thru | or FIG. 23, the mounting procedure at the time of this sealing tool 1A mounting | wearing with the drink can 2 with a 2nd mounting method is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 21, the main body 41 is slid from the direction corresponding to the pull-top opening 3 of the beverage can 2 by the sealing portion 42, and the left and right engaging portions 52 are engaged with the caulking portion 9. Accordingly, the rear engaging portion 53 is also engaged with the caulking portion 9. As a result, the main body portion 41 of the sealing tool 1A is attached to the upper lid portion 7, and the sealing material 54 is in close contact with the peripheral edge portion of the pull-top opening 3 and sealed (see FIGS. 22 and 23).

このとき、封止部42の挿入先端部42aが、本体部41が上蓋部7に装着されのに伴って、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bの下側に挿入され、プルトップ開口3の周縁部における上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する(図23参照)。   At this time, the insertion tip portion 42 a of the sealing portion 42 is inserted below the base push-down portion 4 b of the pull top tab 4 as the main body portion 41 is attached to the upper lid portion 7, and the peripheral edge portion of the pull top opening 3. In close contact with the radially inner portion of the upper lid 7 (see FIG. 23).

封止具1Aの飲料用缶2からの取り外しは、上述の第1の装着手法により装着された場合とほぼ同様にして行うことができる。   Removal of the sealing tool 1A from the beverage can 2 can be performed in substantially the same manner as when the first mounting method is used.

以上のように、本実施形態に係る封止具1Aによれば、本体部41に設けられた複数の係合部52,53を、飲料用缶2のかしめ部9に係合させる構成であるため、封止具1Aの飲料用缶2からの意図しない脱落等を確実に防止することができる。   As described above, according to the sealing tool 1 </ b> A according to the present embodiment, the plurality of engaging portions 52 and 53 provided in the main body portion 41 are configured to engage with the caulking portion 9 of the beverage can 2. Therefore, the unintentional drop-off etc. from the can 2 for drinks of sealing tool 1A can be prevented reliably.

また、飲料用缶2の上蓋部7の略側方からスライドさせるようにして左右の係合部22をかしめ部9に係合させることにより、封止具1Aの装着が行われるため、封止具1Aの飲料用缶2への装着を簡単に行うことができるとともに、封止具1Aを飲料用缶2に対して容易に着脱して繰り返し使用できる。   Further, since the left and right engaging portions 22 are engaged with the caulking portions 9 so as to be slid from substantially the side of the upper lid portion 7 of the beverage can 2, the sealing tool 1A is mounted. The tool 1A can be easily attached to the beverage can 2 and the sealing tool 1A can be easily attached to and detached from the beverage can 2 for repeated use.

また、封止具1Aを飲料用缶2に装着する際の手法として上述の第1及び第2の装着手法を選択できるため、飲料用缶2のプルトップ開口3の周縁部の状況及び利用者の趣向等に柔軟に対応しつつ、プルトップ開口3の確実な封止を図れる。   Moreover, since the above-mentioned 1st and 2nd mounting method can be selected as a method at the time of mounting | wearing with the sealing tool 1A to the drink can 2, the situation of the peripheral part of the pull top opening 3 of the drink can 2, and a user's The pull top opening 3 can be reliably sealed while flexibly responding to the taste and the like.

また、封止具1Aの装着手法として第1の装着手法が選択された場合には、プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aがプルトップ挿入部43に挿入されるようにして本体部41が上蓋部7に装着された状態で封止具1Aが回転された際に、プルトップタブ4も缶本体との固定部5を中心に回転され、これによって、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bがプルトップ開口3の外方(固定部5を挟んだ反対側)に移動される。その結果、ステイオンタブ式の飲料用缶2の場合であっても、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bに邪魔させることなく、封止材54をプルトップ開口3の周縁部に容易に密着させることができ、プルトップ開口3を確実に封止できる。   Further, when the first mounting method is selected as the mounting method of the sealing tool 1A, the main body portion 41 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 so that the pulling portion 4a of the pull top tab 4 is inserted into the pull top insertion portion 43. When the sealing tool 1 </ b> A is rotated in the mounted state, the pull top tab 4 is also rotated around the fixing portion 5 with the can body, whereby the base push-down portion 4 b of the pull top tab 4 is outside the pull top opening 3. (The opposite side across the fixed portion 5). As a result, even in the case of the steion tab type beverage can 2, the sealing material 54 can be easily brought into close contact with the peripheral portion of the pull top opening 3 without interfering with the base pressing portion 4 b of the pull top tab 4. The pull top opening 3 can be reliably sealed.

また、封止部42の挿入先端部42aが、プルトップタブ4の引き上げ部4aがプルトップ挿入部43に挿入される方向から本体部41がスライドされて上蓋部7に装着されるのに伴って、プルトップタブ4における固定部5の周辺部(延設部4c)の下側に挿入され、封止部42がプルトップ開口3に対向するように封止具1Aがプルトップタブ4とともに回転されるのに伴って、プルトップ開口3の周縁部における上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する。このため、プルトップ開口3の周縁部におけるプルトップタブ4における固定部5の周辺部(延設部4c)の下側に位置する部分についてもより確実に封止できる。   Further, the insertion tip 42a of the sealing portion 42 is attached to the upper lid portion 7 by sliding the main body 41 from the direction in which the pulling portion 4a of the pull top tab 4 is inserted into the pull top insertion portion 43. The sealing tool 1A is rotated together with the pull top tab 4 so that the sealing portion 42 is opposed to the pull top opening 3 so as to be inserted below the peripheral portion (extending portion 4c) of the fixing portion 5 in the pull top tab 4. Along with this, it closely adheres to the radially inner side portion of the upper lid portion 7 in the peripheral portion of the pull top opening 3. For this reason, it can seal more reliably also about the part located in the peripheral part (extended part 4c) of the fixing | fixed part 5 in the pull top tab 4 in the peripheral part of the pull top opening 3 below.

また、封止具1Aの装着手法として第2の装着手法が選択された場合には、封止具1Aを略側方からスライドさせて飲料用缶2に装着するだけで、その装着操作に伴ってプルトップ開口3が封止材54によって封止される。それ故、封止具1Aの回転操作が不要であり、より簡単な装着操作により封止具1Aの装着が行えるという利点がある。   Further, when the second mounting method is selected as the mounting method for the sealing tool 1A, the sealing tool 1A is simply slid from the side and mounted on the beverage can 2, and the mounting operation is performed. Thus, the pull top opening 3 is sealed with the sealing material 54. Therefore, there is an advantage that the rotating operation of the sealing tool 1A is unnecessary, and the sealing tool 1A can be mounted by a simple mounting operation.

また、この第2の装着手法が選択された場合においては、本体部41が上蓋部7に装着されのに伴って、封止部42の挿入先端部42aが、プルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bの下側に挿入され、プルトップ開口3の周縁部における上蓋部7の径方向内方側の部分に密着する。これによって、プルトップ開口3の周縁部におけるプルトップタブ4の口金押し下げ部4bの下方に位置する部分についても確実に封止でき、ステイオンタブ式の飲料用缶2の場合であっても、プルトップ開口3を確実に封止できる。   When the second mounting method is selected, the insertion tip portion 42 a of the sealing portion 42 is connected to the base pressing portion 4 b of the pull top tab 4 as the main body portion 41 is mounted on the upper lid portion 7. Is inserted into the lower side of the pull-top opening 3, and is in close contact with the radially inner side portion of the upper lid portion 7 at the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3. Thereby, it is possible to reliably seal the portion of the peripheral edge of the pull-top opening 3 located below the base push-down portion 4b of the pull-top tab 4, and even in the case of the steion tab type beverage can 2, the pull-top opening 3 can be reliably sealed.

なお、上述の第2実施形態に係る封止部42に関する変形例として、図24に示すように、支持部55の底壁部55a(この場合、底壁部55aは片持ち梁状の構造を有する)を覆うようにして袋状の封止材54を底壁部55aに装着するようにしてもよいし、インモールド成形等により底壁部55aの周囲を覆うようにして封止材54を形成してもよい。   As a modification of the sealing portion 42 according to the second embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 24, the bottom wall portion 55a of the support portion 55 (in this case, the bottom wall portion 55a has a cantilever structure). The bag-like sealing material 54 may be attached to the bottom wall portion 55a so as to cover the bottom wall portion 55a, or the sealing material 54 may be covered so as to cover the periphery of the bottom wall portion 55a by in-mold molding or the like.
