Description

本発明は、キャップ本体の下端に弱化部を介して接続されるTEバンドを備えた容器用のキャップおよびキャップ付き容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a cap for a container provided with a TE band connected to a lower end of a cap body via a weakened portion, and a container with a cap.

近年、流通過程等においてキャップが不正に開封されることを防止するために、キャップ本体の下端に弱化部を介して接続されるTEバンド(タンパーエビデントバンド)を有したキャップが、飲料用容器等の幅広い分野で採用されている。   In recent years, a cap having a TE band (tamper evidence band) connected to a lower end of a cap body via a weakened portion in order to prevent the cap from being tampered with in a distribution process or the like is a container for beverages. Has been adopted in a wide range of fields.

このようなTEバンドを有したキャップとして、従来、図4に示すように、キャップ本体120の下端に弱化部140を介して接続されたTEバンド130を備え、TEバンド130の下端に、TEバンド130の内周側に折り返されるフラップ132を連設することにより、キャップ開封時に、容器150に対してキャップ110を回転させ、容器150に対してキャップ110を上方に移動させた際に、フラップ132を容器フランジ153の下側に係合させて弱化部140を破断するキャップ110が知られている。   As a cap having such a TE band, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a TE band 130 connected to the lower end of the cap body 120 via a weakened portion 140 is provided. By connecting the flap 132 that is folded back to the inner peripheral side of the cap 130, when the cap is opened, the cap 110 is rotated with respect to the container 150, and the flap 132 is moved when the cap 110 is moved upward with respect to the container 150. A cap 110 that breaks the weakened portion 140 by engaging the underside of the container flange 153 is known.

ところが、このようなキャップ110では、TEバンド130の下端に形成されたフラップ132がTEバンド130の内周側の上方に向けて折り返されていることから、容器フランジ153の下方の容器口筒部151の外径が小さい場合には、フラップ132がその弾性によって容器口筒部151側に向けて倒れこみ、フラップ132とTEバンド130との間の角度αが大きくなるため、キャップ開封時に、図5に示すように、フラップ132と容器フランジ153との係合によってフラップ132が弾性変形して下方に倒れ、フラップ132が反転を生じてしまう場合がある。この様なフラップ132の反転が生じた場合、弱化部140が破断することなく、TEバンド130が容器口筒部151からすっぽ抜けることになり、不正開栓したことがわからなくなる。   However, in such a cap 110, since the flap 132 formed at the lower end of the TE band 130 is folded upward toward the inner peripheral side of the TE band 130, the container mouth tube portion below the container flange 153 is provided. When the outer diameter of 151 is small, the flap 132 collapses toward the container mouth tube portion 151 due to its elasticity, and the angle α between the flap 132 and the TE band 130 becomes large. As shown in FIG. 5, there is a case where the flap 132 is elastically deformed by the engagement between the flap 132 and the container flange 153 and falls down, and the flap 132 is inverted. When such inversion of the flap 132 occurs, the weakened portion 140 is not broken, and the TE band 130 is completely removed from the container mouth tube portion 151, so that it is impossible to know that the tampering has been performed.

そこで、フラップ132の反転を防止する機能を付加したキャップ110として、図6に示すように、フラップ132の内周壁に容器フランジ153の下側に係合可能なフランジ用係合部132bを形成するとともに、容器装着時に、フラップ132の先端部分である姿勢維持片132cを容器フランジ153の外周壁とTEバンド130の内周壁との間で挟むことにより、フラップ132とTEバンド130との間の角度αを維持するキャップ110が提案されている(特許文献1を参照)。   Thus, as shown in FIG. 6, a flange engaging portion 132 b that can be engaged with the lower side of the container flange 153 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the flap 132 as the cap 110 to which a function of preventing the flap 132 from being reversed is added. In addition, the angle between the flap 132 and the TE band 130 is obtained by sandwiching the posture maintaining piece 132c, which is the tip portion of the flap 132, between the outer peripheral wall of the container flange 153 and the inner peripheral wall of the TE band 130 when the container is mounted. A cap 110 that maintains α has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

実公平5−13735号公報Japanese Utility Model No. 5-13735

ところが、特許文献1に記載のキャップ110では、姿勢維持片132cが容器フランジ153の外周壁とTEバンド130の内周壁との間で挟まれ、姿勢維持片132cの外周側がTEバンド130によって支持されていることから、姿勢維持片132cの内周壁と容器フランジ153の外周壁との間の接触圧が大きくなり、容器150に対してキャップ110を回転させる際の姿勢維持片132cの内周壁と容器フランジ153の外周壁との間の摩擦が大きくなる。   However, in the cap 110 described in Patent Document 1, the posture maintaining piece 132c is sandwiched between the outer peripheral wall of the container flange 153 and the inner peripheral wall of the TE band 130, and the outer peripheral side of the posture maintaining piece 132c is supported by the TE band 130. Therefore, the contact pressure between the inner peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece 132c and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange 153 increases, and the inner peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece 132c and the container when the cap 110 is rotated with respect to the container 150 are increased. Friction with the outer peripheral wall of the flange 153 increases.

その結果、図4や図5に示すような通常のキャップ110、すなわち、TEバンド130の内周壁と容器フランジ153の外周壁との間に姿勢維持片132c等が介在していない通常のキャップ110と比較して、キャップ開封時においてキャップ110の回転を開始させる際に必要とされる所謂ファーストトルクが大きくなるため、キャップ開封時のトルクに関する違和感を使用者に覚えさせてしまう場合があるという問題があった。
上述した問題は、特に、フラップ132の厚み寸法、容器フランジ153の外径寸法、TEバンド130の内径寸法等の、各寸法に製造誤差が生じた場合には更に顕著になる。
As a result, the normal cap 110 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, that is, the normal cap 110 in which the posture maintaining piece 132 c or the like is not interposed between the inner peripheral wall of the TE band 130 and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange 153. The so-called first torque required to start the rotation of the cap 110 when the cap is opened is larger than the first torque, which may make the user feel uncomfortable about the torque when the cap is opened. was there.
The above-described problem becomes more prominent particularly when a manufacturing error occurs in each dimension such as the thickness dimension of the flap 132, the outer diameter dimension of the container flange 153, and the inner diameter dimension of the TE band 130.

そこで、本発明は、これらの問題点を解決するものであり、キャップ開封時におけるフラップの反転を確実に防止しつつも、キャップ開封時のトルクに関する違和感を使用者に覚えさせることを抑制するキャップおよびキャップ付き容器を提供することを目的とするものである。   Therefore, the present invention solves these problems, and prevents the user from feeling uncomfortable about the torque at the time of opening the cap while reliably preventing the flap from being reversed at the time of opening the cap. And it aims at providing a container with a cap.

本発明のキャップは、キャップ本体と、前記キャップ本体の下端に弱化部を介して接続されるTEバンドとを備えたキャップであって、前記TEバンドは、前記キャップ本体の下端に接続される環状のバンド本体部と、前記バンド本体部の下端に連設され前記バンド本体部の内周側に折り返されるフラップとを有し、前記フラップは、前記バンド本体部の下端に連設されたフラップ本体と、前記フラップ本体の内周側に形成され、容器装着時に容器フランジの下側に係合可能なフランジ用係合部と、前記フラップ本体の上端側に形成され、容器装着時に前記容器フランジの外周側に配置される姿勢維持片とを有し、前記バンド本体部の内周壁には、容器装着時に、前記姿勢維持片の外周壁と前記バンド本体部の内周壁との間に間隙を形成する逃げ部が形成され、前記姿勢維持片の周方向幅は、前記フラップ本体の周方向幅よりも狭く形成されていることにより、前記課題を解決するものである。
本発明のキャップ付き容器は、前記キャップと、容器とを備えるキャップ付き容器であって、前記容器は、容器口筒部と、前記容器口筒部の外周に形成された容器側ネジ部と、前記容器側ネジ部の下方において前記容器口筒部の外周に形成された前記容器フランジとを有し、前記キャップを前記容器に装着した状態で、前記姿勢維持片の外周壁と前記バンド本体部の内周壁との間に間隙が形成されることにより、前記課題を解決するものである。
The cap of the present invention is a cap including a cap body and a TE band connected to a lower end of the cap body via a weakening portion, and the TE band is an annular shape connected to the lower end of the cap body. And a flap body connected to the lower end of the band body portion and folded back to the inner peripheral side of the band body portion. The flap body is connected to the lower end of the band body portion. A flange engaging portion formed on the inner peripheral side of the flap body and engageable with a lower side of the container flange when the container is mounted; and formed on an upper end side of the flap body, A posture maintaining piece disposed on the outer peripheral side, and a gap is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the band main body portion between the outer peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece and the inner peripheral wall of the band main body portion when the container is mounted. Do Lower portion is formed, the circumferential width of the position maintaining member, by being narrower than the circumferential width of the flap body, which solves the above problems.
The capped container of the present invention is a capped container including the cap and the container, and the container includes a container mouth tube portion, a container side screw portion formed on an outer periphery of the container mouth tube portion, The container flange formed on the outer periphery of the container mouth tube portion below the container-side screw portion, and with the cap attached to the container, the outer peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece and the band main body portion The above-mentioned problem is solved by forming a gap between the inner peripheral wall and the inner wall.

本請求項1、に係る発明によれば、TEバンドのバンド本体部の内周壁に、容器装着時に容器フランジの外周側に配置されるフラップの姿勢維持片の外周壁とバンド本体部の内周壁との間に間隙を形成する逃げ部が形成されていることにより、容器にキャップを装着した状態で、姿勢維持片の外周壁とバンド本体部の内周壁との間に間隙が形成され、姿勢維持片の外周側がバンド本体部によって支持されることを回避するとともに、姿勢維持片を外周側に撓ませることが可能になるため、姿勢維持片の内周壁と容器フランジの外周壁との間の接触圧が大きくなることを回避して、容器に対してキャップを回転させる際の姿勢維持片の内周壁と容器フランジの外周壁との間の摩擦が大きくなることを回避することができる。これにより、容器フランジに対する姿勢維持片の接触によってフラップとTEバンドとの間の角度を維持して、キャップ開封時におけるフラップの反転を確実に防止しつつも、キャップ開封時のトルクに関する違和感を使用者に覚えさせることを抑制することができる。
また、姿勢維持片の周方向幅が、フラップ本体の周方向幅よりも狭く形成されていることにより、フラップ本体の周方向幅と同じ幅で姿勢維持片を形成した場合と比較して、材料コストを低減することができるばかりでなく、フラップの姿勢維持片の内周壁と容器フランジの外周壁との間の摩擦を更に低減することができ、キャップ開封時に必要とされるトルクを通常のキャップにより近づけることができる。
According to the first and fourth aspects of the present invention, the inner peripheral wall of the band main body portion of the TE band, the outer peripheral wall of the flap posture maintaining piece disposed on the outer peripheral side of the container flange when the container is mounted, and the inner portion of the band main body portion. By forming a clearance portion that forms a gap with the peripheral wall, a gap is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece and the inner peripheral wall of the band main body with the cap attached to the container, Since it is possible to avoid that the outer peripheral side of the posture maintaining piece is supported by the band main body part and to bend the posture maintaining piece to the outer peripheral side, the gap between the inner peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange It is possible to avoid an increase in friction between the inner peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange when the cap is rotated with respect to the container. As a result, the angle between the flap and the TE band is maintained by the contact of the posture maintaining piece with the container flange, and while preventing the flap from being reversed when the cap is opened, the uncomfortable feeling related to the torque when opening the cap is used. Can be suppressed.
In addition, since the circumferential width of the posture maintaining piece is formed to be narrower than the circumferential width of the flap body, compared with the case where the posture maintaining piece is formed with the same width as the circumferential width of the flap body, Not only can the cost be reduced, but also the friction between the inner peripheral wall of the flap posture maintaining piece and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange can be further reduced, and the torque required for opening the cap can be reduced to a normal cap. Can be closer.

請求項に係る発明によれば、姿勢維持片が、フラップ本体の周方向両端にそれぞれ形成されていることにより、両端に形成された姿勢維持片によって、フラップとTEバンドとの間の角度を確実に維持しつつも、姿勢維持片の内周壁と容器フランジの外周壁との間の摩擦を低減することができる。
本請求項に係る発明によれば、姿勢維持片の厚みが、フラップ本体の最薄箇所の厚みよりも薄く形成されていることにより、姿勢維持片の可撓性が向上し、キャップ開封時に、姿勢維持片が外周側に向けて撓み易くなるため、容器フランジとフランジ用係合部との係合を良好に維持しつつも、フラップの姿勢維持片の内周壁と容器フランジの外周壁との間の摩擦を一段と低減することができる。
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the posture maintaining pieces are formed at both ends in the circumferential direction of the flap body, the angle between the flap and the TE band is formed by the posture maintaining pieces formed at both ends. It is possible to reduce the friction between the inner peripheral wall of the posture maintaining piece and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange while reliably maintaining the above.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the posture maintaining piece is thinner than the thinnest part of the flap body, thereby improving the flexibility of the posture maintaining piece, and opening the cap. Since the posture maintaining piece is easily bent toward the outer peripheral side, the inner peripheral wall of the flap posture maintaining piece and the outer peripheral wall of the container flange are maintained while maintaining good engagement between the container flange and the flange engaging portion. Can be further reduced.

まず、キャップ10は、合成樹脂等から形成され、図1や図2に示すように、キャップ本体20と、キャップ本体20の下端に弱化部40を介して接続されるTEバンド30とを備えている。   First, the cap 10 is formed of a synthetic resin or the like, and includes a cap body 20 and a TE band 30 connected to the lower end of the cap body 20 via a weakened portion 40 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Yes.

キャップ本体20は、図1や図2に示すように、円板状の天面壁21と、天面壁21の外周縁から垂下する円筒状のスカート壁22とを有している。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cap body 20 includes a disk-shaped top wall 21 and a cylindrical skirt wall 22 depending from the outer peripheral edge of the top wall 21.

天面壁21には、図1や図2に示すように、天面壁21の下面から下方に突出するインナーリング21aと、インナーリング21aの外周側において天面壁21の下面から下方に突出するアウターリング21bとが形成されている。インナーリング21aは、容器50に対してキャップ10を取り付けた状態で、容器口筒部51の内周側に密着し、また、アウターリング21bは、容器口筒部51の外周側に密着する。
また、スカート壁22の外周壁には、ナール部22aが形成され、また、スカート壁22の内周壁には、容器50の容器口筒部51の外周壁に形成された容器側ネジ部52と螺合するキャップ側ネジ部22bが形成されている。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the top wall 21 has an inner ring 21a that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the top surface wall 21, and an outer ring that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the top wall 21 on the outer peripheral side of the inner ring 21a. 21b. The inner ring 21 a is in close contact with the inner peripheral side of the container mouth tube portion 51 in a state where the cap 10 is attached to the container 50, and the outer ring 21 b is in close contact with the outer peripheral side of the container mouth tube portion 51.
Further, a knurl portion 22 a is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the skirt wall 22, and a container-side screw portion 52 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the container mouth tube portion 51 of the container 50 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the skirt wall 22. A cap side screw portion 22b to be screwed is formed.

弱化部40は、図1や図2に示すように、キャップ本体20のスカート壁22の下端とTEバンド30のバンド本体部31の上端とを接続する破断可能な環状の部位である。本実施形態においては、弱化部40は、キャップ周方向に交互に形成された複数のブリッジおよびスリットから構成されている。なお、弱化部40の具体的態様については、破断可能に設けられていれば如何なるものでもよい。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the weakening portion 40 is a breakable annular portion that connects the lower end of the skirt wall 22 of the cap body 20 and the upper end of the band body portion 31 of the TE band 30. In the present embodiment, the weakening portion 40 is composed of a plurality of bridges and slits that are alternately formed in the cap circumferential direction. In addition, about the specific aspect of the weakening part 40, as long as it is provided so that fracture | rupture is possible, what kind of thing may be sufficient.

TEバンド30は、図1や図2に示すように、環状のバンド本体部31と、バンド本体部31の下端に連設されバンド本体部31の内周側の上方に向けて折り返されるフラップ32とを有している。フラップ32は、相互間に間隔を置いて、キャップ周方向に沿って複数形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the TE band 30 includes an annular band main body 31 and a flap 32 that is connected to the lower end of the band main body 31 and is folded upward toward the inner peripheral side of the band main body 31. And have. A plurality of the flaps 32 are formed along the circumferential direction of the cap with an interval between them.

バンド本体部31は、図2に示すように、その内周側が下端に向かうほど内周側に厚肉となるテーパ状に形成されており、バンド本体部31とフラップ32とがなす折れ曲がり起点が、バンド本体部31の上端側の内周面よりも内周側に位置するように形成されている。これにより、キャップ装着時に、フラップ32の姿勢を垂直に維持した状態で容器フランジ53に対してフラップ32を接触させることが可能であるため、開栓時のTEバンド30のすっぽ抜けを防止することができる。
各フラップ32は、図1や図2に示すように、バンド本体部31の下端に連設されたフラップ本体32aと、フラップ本体32aの内周壁に突出形成され、容器50に対してキャップ10を装着した状態で、容器側ネジ部52の下方において容器口筒部51の外周に形成された容器フランジ(カブラ)53の下側に係合可能なフランジ用係合部32bと、フラップ本体32aの上端に突出形成され、容器50に対してキャップ10を装着した状態で、容器フランジ53の外周側に配置される複数の姿勢維持片32cとを有している。
フラップ本体32aは、図2に示すように、その内周側が下端に向かうほど薄肉となるテーパ状に形成されており、これにより、キャップ装着時のフラップ32の折り曲げ抵抗を軽減できる。
