Description

[Cross-reference of related applications]
This application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) claims the interests of US Patent Application No. 15 / 056,216 filed February 29, 2016.

The present invention relates to a combination of a resealable container lid and a cap, and a structure, manufacturing method and usage method thereof. Generally, this resealable lid is attached to a container such as an aluminum beverage can. The cap is attached to the lid mentioned above and the consumer can rotate it to open or reseal the can. One or more cam mechanisms convert the rotational motion of this cap into a linear motion (linear motion) to create an opening action, breaking the scoreline and bending the tear panel inside the can. When the can is opened, the cap is removed to consume the contents stored in it, and the cap can be replaced to reseal the open lid.

The beverage and can manufacturing industry has long sought to produce cans that are economically produced and convenient for consumer use. Traditionally, beverage cans have been provided with "pull tabs" that consumers pick with a ring and pull the tabs until they come off the can. This creates the problem that the tabs become disposable waste and the consumer is responsible for ensuring proper disposal. Consumers often fail to dispose of tabs properly, which raises safety issues as well as leftovers in that infants can swallow tabs. In addition, the sharp edges of the pull tabs could cut the fingers and hands of consumers or other people who handle the separated pull tabs if handled roughly. As a result of these problems
The industry sought a tab that would stay in the can when opened, thereby keeping leftovers and sharp edges out of contact with the consumer.

The current state of the art is "steion" tabs, which are attached to the can lid using rivets formed on the can lid next to the opening. This opening is formed by a scoreline or a fragile "kiss cut" that breaks when the consumer pulls up the tab. This scoreline produces a hinge flap that, when broken, remains attached to the can lid inside the can.

Beverage cans with steon tabs have at least the following drawbacks: First, it is not resealable. Therefore, when the consumer opens the beverage can, the carbon dioxide contained in the contents is easily released, and the contents are opened to the surrounding environment, so that foreign matter is easily inflowed. Second, to form the rivets used to secure the stayion-type tabs to the beverage lid, the lid is made of a different material, generally from the aluminum alloy used to make the sides and bottom of the can. Must also be manufactured from strong aluminum alloys. In addition, the tabs themselves are generally made from a different alloy than the sides and lids, requiring a stronger and generally stiffer material. As a result, recycling aluminum beverage cans becomes a problem because different materials need to be separated. Also, the use of three different materials tends to make the finished container more complex and costly.

Beverage containers that are "environmentally friendly" and improved are needed in terms of being resealable, cost-effective to manufacture, eliminating waste and facilitating the recycling of aluminum cans. At the same time, there is a need to reduce manufacturing times, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve the methods for manufacturing beverage containers with improved products.

Brief description of the invention

The container has a bottom that is integrally formed with the side wall. This container is preferably a beverage container, but can be adapted to a suitable container. A socket is integrally formed on the upper lid, and this socket has a substantially cylindrical side wall and a bottom wall. The scoreline created on the bottom wall defines the tear panel and creates an opening towards the inside of the can as the score line breaks and the tear panel bends or is removed inward. The cap is fitted into the socket and has a side wall formed with the cam surface. This cam surface is formed as a groove or slot and cooperates with a boss or detent formed on the cylindrical side wall of this socket. The design of this cam surface and associated boss transforms the rotational motion of the cap into linear motion, which breaks the scoreline and opens the tear panel. When the cap moves downward, the protrusion formed on the lower surface of the cap collides with the periphery of the score line to break the score line, and then pushes the tear panel into the can.

Since the cap can be refitted in the socket even after opening, the cam surface engages with the detent and rotates to reach the sealed position. This protects the contents of the can from the surrounding atmosphere. This will prevent spills and carbonic acid from coming out, and prevent foreign matter from entering the can. When all the contents of the can are consumed, the user has the option of discarding the cap and / or container.

The container is generally preferably a beverage container called a "can", but the same principle as described above is manufactured from various materials such as plastic, paper, metal (aluminum, etc.), cardboard, cups, glass, etc. It can be used for other types of containers, such as plastic bottles. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the container may be an aluminum can with a body made of an aluminum alloy and a container lid made of the same aluminum alloy as the container. The cap can be manufactured from a plastic material, metal, or other suitable material that is rigid enough to prevent the cam surface from deforming during the opening and closing operation.

The cam engaging protrusion 150 on the side wall of the socket cooperates with the resealing container cap 160 in a manner described below to open and reseal the container 100.

Referring to FIGS. 5-7, the resealable container cap 160 has a radially extending cap skirt 170 that acts as a tamper prevention indicator. As can be seen in FIG. 1, before opening the container 100, the cap skirt 170 extending in the radial direction is seated in the same plane as the top surface outer surface 119 of the resealing container lid 110 of the resealing container lid 110. do. The skirt is preferably formed integrally with the resealable container cap 160 and made of a plastic material. The radially extending cap skirt 170 includes a fragile scoreline 172 on a series of radially extending cap skirts extending radially outward, which performs a can opening operation. While it is, it can be operated to break. The breakage of the scoreline 172 is performed by the skirt 170, which is driven downward as the resealable container cap 160 is twisted or rotated, thereby moving downward into the cap receiving socket 130. When the beverage container is opened, as a result, it extends radially upwards, as evidenced by the broken scoreline 172 of the cap skirt 170 extending radially, and as a result, radially outwards and radially upwards. It is preferably due to a portion of the cap skirt 170 extending radially, formed by a broken scoreline 172 extending to.

The resealable container cap 160 is made of a plastic molded material and is dimensioned to substantially fit within the cap receiving socket 130 and is located at the lower end of the cylindrical side wall 162 of the resealable container cap.

Located directly above the "X" -shaped scoreline 142 placed in the center of the bottom of the cap receiving socket, the resealable container cap 160 moves downward during container opening, with the protrusion capping. The can is punctured with an "X" -shaped scoreline 142 placed in the center of the receiving socket bottom panel, thereby relieving internal pressure and the annular scoreline of the cap receiving socket bottom panel with offset protruding incisors 168. Helps break 136.

The opening operation of the container 100 is possible by forming a cam structure between the cap receiving portion socket 130 and the resealing container cap 160. In particular, the cam groove surface 180 is formed on the cylindrical side wall 162 of the resealing container cap 160 of the resealing container cap 160. The cam engagement protrusion 150 on the side wall of the socket fits and engages the cam groove surface 180, and if the resealable container cap 160 is twisted by the consumer by hand, the resealable container cap 160 The rotary motion is converted into a linear motion of the resealing container cap 160, resulting in driving the cap downward with respect to the cap receiving socket 130. As the resealing container cap 160 moves downward, the annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is broken by the offset protruding incisors 168, resulting in along the annular scoline 135 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. , Gradually propagate the fracture to its end. In another embodiment, the optional "X" -shaped scoreline 142 centered on the cap receiving socket bottom panel has the annular scoreline 136 on the cap receiving socket bottom panel broken by offset protruding incisors 168. Immediately before being cut, it may be cut by a centrally placed protruding incisor 169, thereby relieving internal pressure and breaking the annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel by the offset protruding incisor 168. help.

As seen in FIG. 8, the resealable container cap 160 can be grabbed by the consumer when the beverage container is ready to be opened, and the beverage container can be re-opened as described below. Includes resealable container cap grip element 174 for sealing. Depending on the contour of the cam surface and its stretching direction, the cap should be rotated in one direction, clockwise for opening, opposite direction for resealing, counterclockwise, removing the cap during consumption of the beverage, and then the contents. If is not completely consumed, it is preferable to re-open the can to reseal the beverage container. The symmetry in the arrangement of the three socket side wall cam engaging protrusions 150 is shown in FIG. 9, and the three socket side wall cam engaging protrusions 150 are arranged at equal intervals of approximately 120 degrees. Each protrusion engages a corresponding cam groove surface 180, more specifically a first cam groove surface 181, a second cam groove surface 182, and a third cam groove surface 183. As seen in the illustrated embodiment, the cylindrical side wall 162 of the resealable container cap 160 of the resealable container cap 160 is contoured to form a groove and has three cam groove surfaces 181, 182, 183. Will be formed. The cam surface or cam mechanisms 181, 182, 183 are molded and tilted in a manner designed to allow the resealing container cap to advance to the opening position without rotating more than 1/4 turn, measured in radians. Then this is only 1-2 radians. The number of protrusions and cam elements can be changed, but three provide a balance between cost and effectiveness.

Cap Resealable Container The cylindrical side wall 162 of the cap contains three evenly spaced cam groove surfaces 181, 182 and 183, as is best seen in FIGS. 10 and 11. The cam groove surfaces 181 and 182, as well as the resealing container cap grip element 174 extending across the surface, are best illustrated in FIG. The bottom 164 of the resealable container cap 160 of the resealable container cap 160 functions as a puncture element and punctures an "X" -shaped scoreline 142 placed in the center of the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket. Includes placed protruding incisors 169, and further includes offset protruding incisors 168, which also serve as puncture elements. The protrusion 168 is designed and molded to act on the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134 of the cap receiving socket 130 juxtaposed inside the annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. When the resealing container cap 160 rotates from the unopened position shown in FIG. 10, the cam structure transforms the rotational motion into a translational motion, resulting in the cap moving inward. As the resealable container cap 160 moves inward, the offset protruding incisors 168 preferably rotate until they reach the position shown in FIG. 11, with a portion of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134 breaking and pushing inward. The annular scoreline 136 on the bottom panel of the cap receiver socket, which does not extend to the complete loop, forms the tear panel 138 of the cap receiver socket bottom panel that remains hinged to the cap receiver socket bottom wall 134. .. The offset protruding incisors 168 start at the beginning of the annular scoreline 136 on the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket and move 90 degrees. As a result, the offset protruding incisors 168 will only move a portion of the length. It is the body of the cam-shaped cap bottom surface 166 that passes through the plane of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134 of the cap receiving socket 130 that pushes out the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. Note that the cam-shaped cap bottom 166 projects from the flat annular cap bottom sealing surface 167.

Cross-sectional views of the cap moving between the opening position and the resealing position are shown in FIGS. 13A to 13D. In FIG. 13A, the resealing container cap is shown in cross-sectional view before opening the beverage container. As a result, the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134 of the cap receiving socket 130, the cylindrical side wall 132 of the cap receiving socket of the cap receiving socket 130, and the resealing container lid top surface 114 have the resealing container lid 110. Form. The resealable container cap 160 is shown in the storage position, i.e., before the can is opened, and in FIG. 13A, the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134 is not punctured and the contents of the container 100 are It is hermetically sealed and can be stored for a long time. The grip element 174 of the resealing container cap is shown in the first unopened position. At this position, the flat annular cap bottom sealing surface 167 of the resealable container cap 160 is spaced above the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134, while the offset protruding incisors 168 are on the cap receiving socket bottom panel. It is in contact with or lightly in contact with the circular score line 136. Similarly, if the centered second protruding incisor 169 is used in the center of the lower end of the resealable container cap 160 and does not touch lightly, it can also be placed close to the scoreline 44. Will be done.

The resealable container cap 160 rotates approximately 90 degrees clockwise, as shown in FIG. 13B. The engagement between the cam groove surface 180 and the socket side wall cam engagement protrusion 150 is such that the offset protruding incisors 168 are the annular scoreline of the cap receiving socket bottom panel as the protrusion moves along the inside of the scoreline. Translate the resealable container cap 160 downwards long enough to break 136. This break is pushed inward of the vessel 100 by the offset protruding incisors 168 and rotates downward around the tear panel hinge 139 to form the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, which is formed by the tear panel hinge 139. It is formed so as to extend between the ends of the cap receiving socket bottom panel facing the annular score line 136. The end facing the scoreline 136 is positioned so as to demarcate and position the swivel axis of the tear panel hinge 139 with respect to the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel.

After the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is formed and the resealing container cap 160 is placed in the innermost position with respect to the socket, the consumer then preferably grips the resealing container cap. By turning element 174, the resealing container cap 160 will be rotated counterclockwise.
The resealable container cap 160 is shown in Figure 13C, if it is separated from the container 100 and can be stored in the consumer's pocket and the consumer chooses not to consume all of the contents of the container 100. It can be placed in a position where it can be taken out immediately. As evidence that the beverage container has been opened, the radial cap skirt 170 can be tilted upwards as a result of the fragile scoreline breaking, and each part of the skirt is deflected upwards. Will be. Also, when rotating counterclockwise, the cam groove surface 180 and the socket side wall cam engaging projection 150 are finally separated, allowing the resealing container cap 160 to be released from the container 100.

If the consumer wants to reseal the container 100, the resealable container cap 160 is capped by the consumer by engaging the cam groove surface 180 with the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150, as shown in FIG. 13D. Contact the part socket 130. When this occurs, the seating adjustment to reseal by rotating clockwise is performed by the annular flat surface 140 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134 and the flat annular cap bottom surface of the resealing container cap 160. The resealable container cap 160 translates downwards until it is between the sealing surface 167, which allows the contents of the container 100 to be kept fresh and safe from foreign matter. If the contents are carbonated, the seal will retain the carbonated.

The resealable container cap 160 can be removed any number of times to obtain the contents of the beverage container until all the contents have been consumed. There are no restrictions on the types of beverages and other contents that can be contained in container 100, but "canned" beverages typically include soda, beer, juice, and the like. It is also within the scope of the invention that the contents of the container can be food, non-consumable liquids, gels, powders and other similar types.

The cam means disclosed herein can be used for caps that provide other functionality for container 100. For example, a variation of the resealable container cap 160 is a reseal with a beverage tool formed on the upper and outer edges that the infant can drink without spilling from the container 100, such as an infant sippy cup. It will be possible to include a passage extending through the formula container cap 160. Alternatively, the resealable container cap 160 can be formed using an infant teat to supply formula milk powder, juice, water or other beverage suitable for infants. When using beverage tools such as sippy cups and baby bottle nipples
The resealable container cap 160 must still be used to open the container, and then a second "cap" can be used to consume the contents. In any case, as long as the container 100 includes the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 formed on the cylindrical side wall 132 of the cap receiving socket of the cap receiving socket 130, the opening cap and the beverage utensil are the container 100. Can be sold separately.

A wide range of plastic materials can be used to form the resealable container cap 160, but other materials, including ceramics and metals, can be used. However, for harder materials such as these, gaskets are placed between the socket 130 and the opposing annular surfaces 140, 167, and cap 160 to ensure the best possible sealing of each. Can be a win.

In the embodiments described herein, the socket 130 and cap 160 are located on top of the container 100, but it is possible for the container closed bottom wall 104 of the container 100 to have the same opening and resealing structure. Further, although the cylindrical container 100 has been described in the present specification, a container having another shape, for example, an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, a hexagonal shape, an octagonal shape, or the like can also be used.

The preferred shape of the annular scoreline 136 of the fragile cap receiving socket bottom panel at the bottom of the cap receiving socket 130 is a circular shape with a sealed and opened ends. The inner score (shallow line) is completed with a curve that arcs towards the cylindrical side wall of the socket to prevent the tear panel from being lost in the vessel. The outer scoreline (deep line) completes in a circle spaced from the inner scoreline. As mentioned above, there is a hinged portion of the tear panel that keeps the panel in contact with the lid once broken.

The offset protruding incisors 168, described as the puncture element, are a single that moves deeper and radially along the inside of the annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel while the resealing vessel cap 160 rotates. It is intended to be a point of contact. The offset protruding incisors 168 can also include an additional area for further driving the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel deeper into the vessel. A single point applies more force to break the annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel defining the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, but the additional area acting in a secondary manner Helps in the opening process.

The socket side wall cam engagement protrusion 150 used in the cap receiving socket 130 allows the use of a very shallow socket 130 (compared to the threaded design) and also ensures the secure opening and closing of the resealable container cap 160. And provide sealing. The socket sidewall cam engagement protrusion 150 design also provides a secure stop for opening, sealing, and removable cap positions. As seen in FIGS. 10 and 11, each cam groove surface 181, 182, 183 includes an inclined cam groove surface portion 184, a cam groove surface lower detent portion 186, and a cam groove surface upper detent portion 188. ing. Once installed, the three socket side wall cam engagement protrusions 150 prevent the detent from separating the resealable container cap 160 from the cap receiving socket 130 during transport or storage, and are resealable. Prevents the container cap 160 from returning to the sealing position when it is placed in the resealing position. This can be explained with reference to FIG. 11, where the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 is indicated by a dashed circle. When the resealable container cap 160 is in the unopened position, each socket side wall cam engagement protrusion 150 (indicated by the dashed circle) is located next to the cam groove bottom detent 186. It will be. When the protrusion 150 comes out of the inclined cam groove surface 184 due to vibration or the like, the cam groove surface lower detent portion 186 is repositioned at a position where the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 is separated from the first cam groove surface 181. Prevents the sealed container cap 160 from facing. Similarly, when the resealing cap 160 is intentionally rotated clockwise to open or reseal the beverage container, the protrusion passes over the cam groove surface upper detent portion 188 and the cam groove surface. It is locked by the coupling between the upper detent portion 188 and the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150. The cam groove upper detent 188 results in the resealing cap 160 being prevented from inadvertently retracting from the sealing position. Therefore, the resealable container cap 160 is supported in two positions by the detents 186, 188. The first position is called the transport holding position and the second position is called the closed position. The distance between the two detents measured along the axis of rotation of the resealing container cap 10 is the distance between the resealing surface of the resealing container cap 160 and the surface associated with the cap receiving socket bottom wall 134. equal. The transport retention detent, or cam groove lower detent 186, provides interference between the stable radial cap skirt 170 and the flat upper edge of the resealable container cap 160, as well as Interference between the puncture element or offset protruding incisors 168 and the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel limits the rotational movement of the resealable vessel cap 160.

When the resealable container cap 160 is rotated in the opening direction, for example, clockwise, the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 on the cylindrical side wall of the socket becomes gentle according to the inclined cam groove surface portion 184 of the cam groove surface 180. A ramp is formed to convert the rotational movement of the resealing container cap 160 into a linear or translational movement that drives the resealing container cap 160 inside the container 100. This engages the offset protruding incisors 168 with the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel and provides the force required to break the annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. When the resealing container cap 160 is further rotated in the opening direction, the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel leaves the track until the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 reaches the cam groove upper detent 188. It is gradually pushed into the container 100. A point slightly higher than above the inclined cam groove surface 184 of the cam groove surface 180 immediately before the sealing position provides the resistance necessary to prevent the resealing container cap 160 from retracting.

When the resealing container cap 160 is rotated in the opposite direction to the opening direction, the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 follows the same path to the starting position, but after opening, the cap skirt 170 and the cap skirt 170 extending in the radial direction are stable. Since the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel does not cause interference between the transport holding or the cam groove surface lower detent 186 and the gap between the cam groove surface 180, the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 Allows the resealable container cap 160 to be released from the container by passing the transport retention or cam groove bottom detent 186.

In the embodiments described and illustrated herein, a typical cam groove surface 180 has an inclined portion completed at a lower end and an upper end facing each other at a lower detent portion 186 and an upper detent portion 188 (respectively). Shown as a groove having, thereby the entire cam groove surface or cam elements 181, 182, 183 were formed on the cylindrical side wall 162 of the resealing container cap 160 of the resealing container cap 160. The cam groove surface or cam elements 181, 182, 183 can be formed from the surface as protrusions or bosses, integrally formed, or as separate parts joined to the resealable container cap 160. It is possible as well. Further, the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 that functions as a cam follower protrudes from the cylindrical side wall 132 of the cap receiving socket of the cap receiving socket 130, but the cap receiving socket 130 has cam surfaces 181, 182, It may be formed with 183, and the cam follower or cam engaging protrusion 150 may be formed on the resealing container cap 160. The exact size and shape of the cam surfaces 181, 182, 183 can be selected to meet the specific needs of the container 100. The overall goal is to choose a structure that provides operable torque that consumers can apply without undue effort.

The structure described above can be constructed using a unique manufacturing process that combines some of the well-known processing processes with new, modified, or avoided processes. As illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 14, in one particularly preferred method of manufacturing the container 100, a preformed resealing container lid 110 is supplied from the shell press. Next, using a conversion press, a cap receiving socket 130 is formed on the resealing container lid 110. Then, in the conversion press, a score line is formed at the bottom of the cap receiving socket 130 either simultaneously or after the cap receiving socket 130 is formed. The resealable container cap 160 is formed by injection molding or other suitable means, and the resealable container cap 160 is fed to the assembly line where it is inserted into the socket. The resealable container cap 160 is then fixed to the socket with three dice around the socket spaced apart and the protrusions press-molded, all centered on a common plane. The die is pressed inward against the cylindrical side wall of the cap receiving socket 130, and the resealing container cap 160 acts as a mandrel against the inward pushing force of the die, resulting in a groove on the cam groove surface 180. A socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 is formed. Once the resealable container lid 110 or end has been packaged and sent to the bottling company, the bottling company can then use conventional processing steps to secure the lid to any of the various cans and other beverage containers. can.

The steps described above achieve a number of cost and environmental advantages over the preceding manufacturing techniques. First, there is no need to process the lid to form rivets, which was conventionally used to secure the pull tab to the can lid. No rivets are required as no pull tabs are required. Rivets require the lid to be made from a stronger, thicker material and are usually composed of different aluminum alloys relative to the materials that make up the sidewalls and bottom. In addition, the conventional process would have required the formation of a third possible pull tab made of a different aluminum alloy. Although the use of three types of aluminum materials has raised recycling issues, in the present invention a single material can be used to form the can body and can lid.

With reference to FIG. 15, further modifications of the manufacturing process are disclosed. In the first step, the preformed resealing container lid 110 is supplied from a shell press with the already formed cap receiving socket 130. In the next step, the resealable container lid 110 and the cap receiving socket 130 are aligned with respect to the conversion press. Next, in the conversion press, an annular scoreline 136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is formed at the bottom of the cap receiving socket 130. The molded resealable container cap 160 is provided on the assembly line and is inserted into the molded resealable container cap 160. The molded resealable container cap 160 is fixed to the cap receiving socket 130 by forming the socket side wall cam engaging protrusion 150 by the method described above, in which the resealable container cap 160 is a protrusion. Acts as a mandle during the formation of. The 160 resealable container lid 110 with a fixed resealable container cap is then packaged and shipped to the bottling company or others for conventional filling, sealing and shipping to the customer. As in the manufacturing process described above, it is not necessary to form rivets on the resealable container lid 110 and it is not necessary to attach pull tabs to the rivets. Avoiding these steps reduces costs and results in products that are easy to recycle.

Another embodiment of the container 200 shown in FIGS. 18-35 comprises a body having a cylindrical side wall 202 of the container and opposing axial ends. Container 100 and container 200 include many similar mechanisms. Similar mechanisms for container 100 and container 200 are labeled the same except for the leading number "2". Container 200 is shown in the size and shape of a common aluminum can used today for a wide variety of beverages, including soft drinks, juice drinks, beer, etc., similar to that of the previous embodiment (container 100). Has been done. In the mechanism at the top or lid of the container 100, the body itself is different from the prior art, and the mechanism of the present invention allows the container 200 to be opened and resealed.

The container sealed bottom wall 204 (see FIG. 20) is integrally formed with one of the axial ends of the container side wall 202 by a well-known method of manufacturing aluminum cans. However, the body (202, 204) may be made of other materials and may have other shapes depending on the style, function or combination of both. The resealable container lid 210 attaches the resealable container lid or the upper part 110 to the container 200 after filling the main body (202, 204) with a beverage at the opening end defined by the cylindrical side wall 202 of the container. It is attached to the opening axial end of the main body by a well-known method that is often seen in. After installation, the resealable container lid 210, the container sealed bottom wall 204 and the cylindrical side wall 202 of the container define a sealed interior space.

The cap receiving socket 230 is formed on the resealing container lid 210 and includes a cylindrical side wall 110 and a cap receiving socket bottom wall 234. The cap receiving socket 230 is eccentrically arranged so as to approach the peripheral edge of the resealing container lid 210, facilitating drinking and pouring after opening. The cap receiving socket 230 is inserted slightly from the periphery of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 234 to form a looped tear panel 238 that is substantially closed at the cap receiving socket bottom panel. Also includes the panel's circular scoreline 236. A score line 242 in the center of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is provided in the center of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 234, and an "X" is formed at the intersection of the two lines in the center of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 234. It is preferable to include two intersecting scorelines that form. The cap receiving socket bottom wall 234 is equidistantly spaced around the cap receiving socket bottom wall 234 in the annular scoreline 236 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, socket bottom panel lamps 290, 291, 292. Including further. Different numbers of lamps can be used, but three are preferred. The socket bottom panel lamps 290, 291 and 292 are integrally formed with the cap receiving socket bottom wall 234.

The cap receiving socket 230 further includes socket side wall cam engaging projections 252, 254, 256 formed on the side wall 110 and equidistantly spaced. When viewed from the inside as shown in FIGS. 22 and 34, protrusions such as protrusions 124 and 128 are shown as recesses because the protrusions are formed from the side wall material. The resealing container lid 210 also includes a resealing container lid top surface reinforcing structure 218, as in the previous embodiment, for informing the consumer of the opening mechanism of the container 200 and how to use the resealing mechanism. Can contain statements.

The resealing container cap 260 fits into the cap receiving socket 230 and includes a cylindrical side wall 262 and a bottom wall 136 of the resealing container cap. A series of cam groove surfaces 281, 282, 283 are provided equidistantly on the cylindrical side wall 262 of the resealable container cap 260 of the resealable container cap 260, and the resealable container cap 260 caps. It is designed to receive the cam engaging protrusions 252, 254, and 256 of the cap receiving socket 230, respectively, when mounted in the receiving socket 230.
In this respect, the embodiment of the container 200 is similar to the embodiment of the container 100. At the time of container attachment and before opening the container, the resealable container cap 260 is seated in the cap receiving socket 230 as shown in FIGS. 30 to 32.

The resealable container cap 260 has a resealable container cap handle or on the top edge of the resealable container cap 260 so that the consumer can turn the cap either clockwise or counterclockwise. Also includes grip element 274. As shown in the previous embodiment, the upper edge of the resealable container cap 260 is provided with a radially extending cap skirt 270 with a tamper resistant mechanism, whereby the cap rotates. If the resealing container cap 260 is further processed into a cap receiving socket 230, this skirt will extend upward. The radial extension of the cap skirt 270 and the resealable container cap 260 preferably has all other mechanisms integrally formed of a plastic material in an integral structure. Within the scope of the present invention, other materials may be used, including ceramic and metallic materials.

Since a sharp central incision protrusion 269 is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the resealing container cap 260, the resealing cap 260 fits into the cap receiving socket 230 before opening the beverage can 100. When done, the point of the sharp central incision protrusion 269 is at the intersection between the two lines forming the scoreline 242 in the center of the cap receiving socket bottom panel and at the bottom of the cap receiving socket 230. Adjacent to the center or juxtaposed. While the beverage can 200 is being opened, the resealing container cap 260 linearly moves downwards and further into the cap receiving socket 230, and the sharp central incision protrusion 269 caps. The cap of the receiving socket 230 punctures the bottom wall 234 of the receiving socket.

Since the offset protruding incisors 268 are formed along the outer region of the bottom surface of the resealing container cap 260, the beverage can 100 is opened when the resealing container cap 260 is fitted into the cap receiving socket 230. Previously, the point of sharp offset protruding incisors 268 lined up with the annular scoreline 236 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel formed on the bottom of the cap receiving socket 230, as best shown in FIG. Placed in. While the beverage can 100 is being opened, the resealing container cap 260 linearly moves downwards and further into the cap receiving socket 230, and the sharp offset protruding incisors 268 come to the cap receiving. The annular scoreline 236 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel formed on the cap receiving socket bottom wall 234 of the socket 230 is broken.

To understand how the embodiment of the container 200 works, see FIG. 25, which is a plan view of the beverage container before opening. Optionally, the resealable container lid top surface reinforcement structure 218 is embossed, printed or otherwise marked with instructions on how to use the resealable container cap 260. First, the consumer is instructed to open the beverage container by turning or rotating the resealing container cap 260 in a clockwise direction. The slope on the ramp and the slope on the spiral groove are selected to ensure that the container 200 can be opened with the same or similar amount of force used to open conventional beverage containers such as between sodas. Will be done. This can be achieved by the rotational movement of the cap in the range of 45 to 90 degrees.

After the resealable container cap 260 has maximally rotated or swiveled, the resealable container cap 260 pushes the looped tear panel 238 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel into the can, while the tear panel 238 is at the bottom of the cap receiving socket. It remains joined to the resealable container lid 210 through a portion of the lid between the ends of the annular scoreline 236 of the panel. Then, in order to drink the contents of the container 200, the consumer swivels, twists or rotates the resealing container cap 260 in the opposite direction until it returns past the starting point where the opening rotation started, and the cam engagement protrusion. Parts 252, 254, and 256 are arranged in the opening area of the cam groove surfaces 281, 282, and 283.

In that respect, the resealable container cap 260 is pulled upward by the consumer to separate it from the container 200, and the consumer then receives a looped tear panel 238 that is substantially closed at the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket. As a result of being pushed into the container 100, it can be freely drunk through the opening formed in the resealable container lid 210. If the container 200 is not empty after the consumer finishes drinking, the consumer pushes the resealable cap 260 back into the cap receiving socket 230 and the resealing cap 260 is fully seated in the cap receiving socket 230, resulting in The beverage container can be resealed or sealed by swiveling, twisting or rotating the resealing container cap 260 in the same direction as the opening direction until the opening of the container 200 is sealed. In the resealed state, the contents of the container 200 are fresh, carbonated (in the case of carbonated beverages), and can be kept in a state where water does not leak (when stored in a backpack, stroller, car drink holder, etc.) When the beverage container 200 is unstable, etc.).

As shown in other embodiments described herein, the present invention includes a pre-assembled container 200 with its own resealing mechanism, with or without its contents. The present invention also provides resealable container lids 210 and resealable container caps 260 to which container bodies 202, 204 can be further attached, such as beverage containers commonly used as aluminum cans for the distribution of a wide variety of beverages. Includes container subassembly provided. The present invention allows the beverage container to be purchased without the resealable container cap 260, and the resealable container cap 260 to be used thereafter together with the container 200 on which the cap receiving socket 230 is formed as described above can be purchased separately. Further included is a resealable container cap 260 that can be used with a container 200 that includes a container lid 210 or a resealable container lid 210. In this way, the resealable container cap 260 can be reused repeatedly. Purchasing the resealable container cap 260 separately from the container 200 is "environmentally friendly" in that the resealable container cap 260 can be repeatedly washed and reused, thereby reducing waste. It will have an effect.

Another feature of the present invention is the provision of a resealable container cap 360, as illustrated in FIGS. 36 and 37. The resealable container cap 260 and the resealable container cap 360 include a number of similar mechanisms. Similar mechanisms for the resealable container cap 260 and the resealable container cap 360 are labeled the same except for the leading number "3". The resealable container cap 360 includes the mechanisms presented above, including cap bottom lamps 394, 395 and 396, as well as cam groove surfaces 381, 382, and 393. Similar to other embodiments, the resealable container cap 360 has a cap receiving socket bottom wall 334 over which the lamp protrudes. A cap seal ring 365 is provided near the outer periphery of the surface of the cap receiving portion socket bottom wall 334. The cap seal ring 365 is manufactured from an elastomeric material different from the material constituting the resealable container cap 360, and is preferably manufactured from a hard plastic material. The material forming the cap seal ring 365 is inserted into the mold through the port and formed on the resealable container cap 360, while the resealable container cap 360 is injection molded. Alternatively, the cap seal ring 365 may be a separately preformed product that can be glued in place after the resealable container cap 360 has been removed from its mold.

The central sharp protrusion 241 is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the resealable container cap 360, and the central sharp protrusion 241 is similar in design, position and function to the sharp central incision protrusion 269 described above. Is.

The offset protruding incisor 368 is formed along the outer region of the bottom surface of the resealable container cap 360, and the offset protruding incisor 368 is similar in design, position and function to the offset protruding incisor 268 described above.

The Cap Seal Ring 365 can be manufactured using a variety of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and the requirements are simply that the material is easy to mold, adheres to the materials that make up the cap, and is deformable to some extent under pressure (in use). Therefore, choosing a precise one is a problem in choosing a design. Other materials may also be used if the seal ring is pre-made and adhesively bonded to the end face or bottom wall of the cap. However, it is preferable to mold the ring in a fixed location. With respect to TPE, sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubber, it is a class of copolymers or a mixture of polymers composed of both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. These are the preferred methods for forming the cap seal ring 365 on the surface of the resealable container cap 360 and are particularly suitable for injection molding.

In FIG. 38, two lamps 390, 391 are illustrated instead of the three found in other embodiments. In essence, any number of lamps can be used, but two or three can generate opening force without the need for excessive torque and are easier to manufacture than three or more. For reasons, two or three are more preferred. As seen in FIG. 38, the cap used in the embodiment of FIG. 38 has two lamps on the bottom surface in a shape and position compatible with the socket bottom panel lamps 390 and 391 shown in FIG. 38.

The resealing container cap 360 is a resealing container in which the consumer swivels the cap in one direction to open the container, then swivels the resealing container cap 360 in the opposite direction to remove the resealing container cap 360 and reseals. In that the container cap 360 is reinserted into the cap receiving socket 230 and swiveled in the first container opening direction until the resealing container cap 360 is fully seated in the cap receiving socket 230. It operates in the same way as the cap in the embodiment. This fully seated position of the resealable container cap 260 is shown in FIG. 35, and when resealing the container 200, the bottom surface 264 of the resealable container cap 260 is set to the cap receiver of the cap receiver socket 230. Push against the bottom wall of the socket 234 to form a sealed engagement between the cap receiving socket 230 and the cap. In an embodiment of the resealable container cap 360, including the seal ring 367, at this position the cap seal ring 365 is pressed against the cap socket bottom wall 234 of the cap receiving socket 230 to form the cap socket 230 and the resealable container cap. Strengthen the sealing relationship between 360. The contact between the hard surface, the metal material that makes up the cap receiving socket 230, and the relatively soft material, that is, the elastomeric material that makes up the cap seal ring 365, guarantees a better seal of the contents of the container 200. do. This is particularly useful when it comes to carbonated drinks such as soda and beer.

In the embodiments described above, the cap is provided with a resealable container cap handle or grip element 174, as seen, for example, in FIGS. 10, 11 and 11. Another embodiment of the resealable container cap grip element 374 is shown in FIGS. 39 and 40, wherein the grip element 474 of the resealable container cap is a force-enhancing or grip-enhancing tool 479. Includes first crossing members 476 and 478 of two parallel resealing container cap grip elements, separated by sufficient amount to fit, which transfers torque from the consumer's hand to the resealing container cap 460. Such as coins or other objects made of materials that are rigid and strong enough to be used. It is understood that the larger the diameter of a coin or other object, the greater the force that can be transmitted to the resealable container cap 460. Container 300 can be sold as an assembly containing a resealable container cap 460 and a tool (coin) 479 (assuming not a coin), including a resealable container lid 410, a resealable container cap 460 and a grip enhancer 479. Subassembly (without container body and sealed contents) or resealable container cap 460 can be sold separately. For ease of storage and transport, and cost savings, it is preferred not to sell or package the grip enhancer 479 with container 400 or resealable container cap 460, lid and / or cap assembly.

Referring to FIG. 41, another aspect of the invention includes creating a tear panel or a scoreline defining the panel in a manner that enhances the opening or breaking ability of the scoreline. As seen in FIG. 41, the resealable container lid 410 includes a cap receiving socket bottom wall 434 including a cap receiving socket bottom wall 4334. The cap receiving socket bottom wall 434 includes three socket bottom panel lamps 490, 491 and 492 and a cap receiving socket bottom wall panel tear panel 438 defined by an annular scoreline 436 on the cap receiving socket bottom panel. ..
The annular scoreline 436 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, as in one of the embodiments described above, has a looped shape that is not fully positioned so that the hinges of the cap receiving socket bottom panel It is defined between the ends facing the circular scoreline 436. The annular scoreline 436 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is manufactured during the molding process of manufacturing the resealing container lid 410 and, in the case of beverage cans, from a material 0.008 inches thick. Since the scoreline 436 is typically 0.004 inches deep, the thickness of the lid 410 beneath the scoreline 436 is typically about 0.004 inches thick for aluminum beverage cans. Material thinning occurs during the pressing of the lid 410, essentially deforming and flowing the material with the lid 410, forming a thin area below the scoreline 436.

Utilizing the same material flow or deformation principle during the pressing process, one of the lamps 394, 395, 396 is combined with the lamps 490, 491, 492 at one end of the annular scoreline 436 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. , A scoreline fracture surface thin starting region 437 acting on the scoreline 436 is formed. At the beginning of the opening process, the lamps 394, 395, 396, together with the lamps 490, 491, 492, press the scoreline fracture surface thin starting area 437 on the flare, which is the container 100, 200 for aluminum cans. It is essentially thinner than the thickness of the side walls 102, 102. In other words, the entire area of the puncture area becomes thinner with respect to the peripheral surface of the lid 410, making the scoreline 436 easier to puncture or break. When the scoreline 436 breaks at the puncture area 437, this break propagates easily and as expected around the scoreline 436, facilitating the opening of containers 100, 200. The scoreline fracture surface thin starting area 437 is thin and, as a result, may be vulnerable to accidental opening, but is not thinner than the side wall of the beverage container and can withstand internal pressure. Also, when seated in the socket 430, the cap 460 protects it from accidental external breakage.

Each embodiment described herein is referred to as a tear panel, such as the tear panel 138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, as the bottom wall portion of the socket defined by an annular or looped scoreline. This tear panel is also a "vulnerable area" as caps 160, 260, 360, 460 break from the rest of the bottom walls 138, 238, 338, 438 as the caps 160, 260, 360, 460 descend into sockets 130, 230, 330, 430. Can also be explained. However, the tear panels 138, 238, 338, 438 or the fragile region need not be substantially circular or looped, and in fact, the second illustrated embodiment is shown in FIG.
All other aspects of the resealable container lid 310 are the same as in the previous embodiment including the cap receiving socket 330 having the cap receiving socket bottom wall 334, but the bottom wall 334 has a cap receiving socket bottom. It has an "S" -shaped scoreline 344 on the panel, and when it is broken by manipulating the lowering movement of the cap and engagement of the socket bottom panel lamps 390 and 381, this break is split into two. The tear panel 338 is formed and pushed inward during the opening process, and the two tear panels 338 are joined to the can by a hinge region 339 on the opposite side of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 334. During the opening process, a sharp protrusion in the center of the bottom wall of the cap will puncture the center of the scoreline 344 at the scoreline fracture surface thin start area 346. At about the same time, the lamps 390, 391, 392, 393 of the cap receiving socket 330 and the lamps 394, 395, 396 of the resealable container cap 360 work together in a position opposite to the hinge 339 position, essentially. Press the tear panel 338 within the "loop" portion of the "S" -shaped scoreline 344 on the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket. At the same time, two tear panels 338 are formed and pushed into the containers 100 and 200.

During opening and sealing operations, the resealing container cap handles or grip elements 274, 474 are turned preferably 90 degrees in one direction, after which the resealing container caps 260, 360, 460 are pulled out of the socket and grip 274. , 474 are turned 90 degrees to the starting point in the opposite direction. To remove all resealable container caps 260, 360, 460 from the lid, the grooves and protrusions are separated and the grip is about until the resealable container caps 260, 360, 460 are free to lift upward from the container. Turn 10 degrees. Different combinations of embossed lamps 390, 392 and debossed lamps 391, 393 and different numbers of lamps can be used to achieve the desired effect. The space between the resealing container caps 260, 360, 460 and the cap receiving sockets 230, 330, 430 and the bottom walls 234, 334 of the cap receiving sockets is the resealing container caps 260, 360, 460. Equal to the length of linear movement when operating between the shipping position and the opening / resealing position (approximately 0.055 inches for aluminum cans). The distance can be doubled by using embossed lamps on the tear panels 238, 338, 438, and the tear panels 238, 338, 438 are bent over their hinges 239, 339, 439 to open the openings. Can be kept away from.

In all cases where the lamp is used, the peak height of the lamp is preferably located near or close to the hinge, which causes the tear panels 238, 338, 437 when the cam body of the cap pushes the opening. This is because it promotes pushing out. The ramp facilitates the propagation of the broken scoreline along its length. At the bottom of the cap, which will be aligned with the tear panels 238, 338, 438 or the lamps on the panels, there is a corresponding lamp or other structure. All lamps are embossed (rising from the bottom socket surface), but may be the same as the debossed lamps 391, 393, which start below the bottom socket surface and continue to the embossed lamps 390, 392. If each lamp on the cap starts inside a devos lamp on the lids 210, 310, 410, the effective linear movement on the caps 260, 360, 460 in operation can be doubled, tripled, and perhaps quadrupled. can.

The cylindrical outer side wall 562 of the resealable container cap is between the adjacent surfaces of the cam tracks 552, 554, 556 and the periphery of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 (essentially the inner wall of the peripheral counter sink 526). It is preferable to dimension it so that it fits within the generally vertical clearance in. Further, the cylindrical outer side wall 562 of the resealing container cap curves toward the cylindrical side wall 532 of the cap receiving socket, and the cylindrical side wall 532 of the cap receiving socket and the cylindrical outer side wall of the resealing container cap. It is preferable to design the cam tracks 552, 54, and 556 so as to provide a clearance by sealing the gap formed between the cam track and the 562. By sealing this gap, the vessel lid assembly reduces the potential for contaminants to enter the gap between the cylindrical side wall 532 of the cap receiving socket and the cylindrical outer side wall 562 of the reseal container cap. It is understood that it can be done.

The offset protruding incisors 568 extend downward from the bottom surface of the planar base 564 of the resealable container cap. The offset protruding incisor 568 can be placed within the incisor debossing panel 566, which is used to lower the offset protruding incisor 568, reinforce the material area surrounding the offset protruding incisor 568, and apply distributed compressive force. A debossed mechanism that provides a number of functions, including equipment and other functions.

The ring-shaped cap seal ring 565 is applied to the peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the flat base 564 of the resealable container cap. Cap Sealing 565 is manufactured from any suitable soft material, including elastomers, elastomeric polymers, plastisols, low durometer rubbers, or any other suitable flexible sealing material.

A series of cam followers 581, 582, 593 are spatially arranged along the lower end of the cylindrical outer side wall 562 of the resealable container cap. The cam followers 581, 582, 583 are preferably formed using any suitable metal forming step such as a crimping step. The cam followers 581, 582, and 583 are dimensioned together with the cam clearance portions 551, 555, and 553, respectively, and are spatially adjusted and arranged. Cam followers 581, 582, 583 are the greetings between cams 551, 555, 553.
Dimensioned to pass through each of the cam tracks, spatially arranged and engaged with the underside of each of the cam tracks 552, 554, 556. The interaction between the cam followers 581, 582, 583 and the respective cam tracks 552, 554, 556 is the rotational movement of the resealing container cap 560 in the cap receiving socket of the resealing container lid 510. Convert to at least one of the axial motion and axial force applying devices. The peripheral counter sink 526 of the resealable container lid 510 is a cam follower formed on the bottom edge of the cylindrical outer side wall 562 of the resealable container cap and the bottom edge of the cylindrical outer side wall 562 of the resealable container cap. It is sized and formed to receive 581, 582, 583.

The grip element 574 of at least one resealable cap is formed to extend upward from the top surface of the planar base 564 of the resealable container cap 560 of the resealable container cap 560. The grip element 574 of the resealable container cap is formed to have any suitable shape. In a preferred embodiment, the grip element 574 of the resealable container cap is at a height that holds the top edge of the grip element 574 of the reseal container cap at or below the top edge or seam surface of the container (the container of FIG. 90). Body and lid assembly seams). The planar base 564 of the resealable vessel cap is recessed in a cavity defined by the cylindrical inner side wall 563 of the resealable vessel cap, and the planar base 564 of this recessed resealable vessel cap is re-enclosed. The grip element 574 of the resealable container cap allows the grip element 574 of the resealable container cap to project upward from it, while keeping the entire sealed container cap 560 from the bottom to a minimum height.

The grip element 574 of the resealable container cap will include the force plane 575 of at least one cap grip element. The applied surface 575 of the cap grip element will be sized to economically and appropriately support the force applied by the end user.

The user will apply force to the resealable container cap 560 by grasping each of the applying surfaces 575 of at least one cap grip element. This force is converted into a rotational or torsional force that encourages the resealable container cap 560 to move counterclockwise (scoreline break) or clockwise (sealed). More specifically, as most commonly seen in FIGS. 52 and 53, the cam tracks 552, 554, 556 are divided into multiple functional parts.
First, each cam follower 581, 582, 583 is aligned with the inter-cam reliefs 551, 555, 553, respectively, as best shown in FIGS. 44, 48, 49 and 54. The resealable container cap 560 is inserted into the cap receiving socket of the resealable container lid 510, and the cam followers 581, 582, and 583 pass through the inter-cam relief portions 551, 555, and 553, respectively, as seen in FIG. The container lid assembly is formed so that it can be used. In a typical description, the resealable container lid 510 and the resealable container cap 560 are geometrically related to each other. As shown in the side exploded assembly view of FIG. 54, during the initial assembly of the resealable container cap 560 into the cap receiving socket of the resealable container lid 510, the first forming cam follower 581 is a relief portion between the first cams. Aligned with 551. In addition, this alignment inserts an offset protruding incisor 568 into the incisor path groove 517, as shown in FIGS. 55 and 56.

The assembly provides sufficient compression to the cap seal ring 565 to place the first forming cam follower 581 along the lower end of the cam track assembly / locking detent 552A of the first socket cam track 552, counterclockwise. A large downward force is required in combination with the rotation of the. The large downward force compresses the cap seal ring 565, as shown in FIGS. 55, 56 and 57. The initial contact is illustrated in FIG. 56, where the cap seal ring 565 is in contact with the top surface of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534, but has not yet been compressed. While applying a large downward force, the cap seal ring 565 is compressed as shown in FIG. 57. The cam track assembly / locking detent 552A is configured to be the lowest point of the cam track 552. Continued rotation of the cap counterclockwise moves the first formed cam follower 581 to the start / reseal 552B of the cam track, which causes the cap seal ring 565, as shown in the side exploded assembly view of FIG. Can be decompressed. Further, the cam track 552, 554, 556 configuration uses cam followers 581, 582, 583 to hold a resealing container cap 560 with a cap receiving socket for the resealing container lid 510.

The cam track assembly / locking detent 552A holds the resealing container cap 560 within the cap receiving socket of the resealing container lid 510 when subjected to clockwise movement. The offset protruding incisor 568 joins the incisor path 592 for the tear panel surface transition and resealable container cap 560 within the cap receiving socket of the resealable container lid 510 if counterclockwise movement continues. To hold. Positioning between the offset protruding incisor 568 and the incisor path 592 for tear panel surface transition is best shown in FIGS. 60 and 61. As a result, the resealable container cap 560 is held within the cap receiving socket, allowing only its small rotational movement. It is understood that any movement can be designed to be restricted so as to effectively eliminate play between counterclockwise and clockwise movements.

The initial assembly process is adapted to be completed by a mechanical device, such as an assembly machine. The force required is designed to prevent the individual from completing the initial assembly process. Subsequent steps are adapted to be accomplished by the end user.

The following describes the order in which the container lids are opened and is guided by the end user to complete. As the first forming cam follower 581 continues to rotate counterclockwise from the position where the cam track start / resealing portion 552B is engaged, the offset protruding incisors 568 are placed on the tear panel surface due to the continuation of motion. Acting on the incisor path 592 for transition, it initiates breakage of the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, as shown in FIGS. 61, 67 and 71.

As best shown in FIGS. 61, 68 and 72, as the rotation continues, the first forming cam follower 581 transitions from the cam track start / resealing section 552B to the cam track height transition section 552C. do. During this transition, the bottom surface of the offset protruding incisor 568 begins to ride on the top surface of the incisor path 592 for the tear panel surface transition, and the offset protruding incisor 568 reseals the tear panel 538 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. Push into container 500. In addition, the bottom surface of the incisor deboss panel 566 begins to ride on the top surface of the additional score breakage propagation part and the support boss retraction part 597 of the tear panel, and the incisor deboss panel 566 breaks the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. Performs at least one function of propagating and distributes the axial force applied by the offset protruding incisor 568 transversely to the incisor path 592 for tear panel surface transition towards the rupture 536 of the branched scoreline. do. Further, the resealable container cap 560 is slightly axially separated from the resealable container lid 510 and has a cap seal ring 565 so as not to come into contact with the upper surface of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 of the resealable container lid 510. To separate.
This separation reduces or eliminates harmful drag and sustained friction between the cap seal ring 565 and the top surface of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534, resulting in sustained counterclockwise rotation of the resealable container cap 560. Propagates the breakage of the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. In addition, this separation allows ventilation of the pressurized gas released from the resealable vessel 500 when the offset protruding incisor 568 acts on the incisor path 592 for tear panel surface transition, cap receiver. When the annular scoreline 536 of the socket bottom panel begins to break and the container lid socket is released, the resealable container cap 560 becomes a projectile while still retaining pressure from the opened resealable container 500. Avoid that. As best shown in FIGS. 63, 69 and 73, as the rotation continues, the first formed cam follower 581 transitions from the cam track height transition section 552C to the cam track operation section 552D. During this transition, the bottom surface of the offset protruding incisor 568 begins to ride on the top surface of the tear panel surface incisor path 591, continues to generate axial force, propagates the rupture 536 of the branched scoreline, and further cap seals. Separate the top surfaces of the ring 565 and the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534. In addition, the incisor deboss panel 566 adds a tear panel 538 on the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket to match the placement with the ribbed support. Build and further build a rupture propagation of the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel by distributing the applied load force from the resealing vessel cap 560, as seen in FIGS. 69 and 73. .. Cap receiver In addition to propagating the breakage of the annular scoreline 536 of the socket bottom panel, this process also features a cap receiver around the tear panel hinge 539 so as to be away from the top reinforced structure 518 of the resealable container lid. Fold the tear panel 538 on the bottom panel of the bottom socket. The load is maintained by the cam followers 581, 582, 583 on the bottom of the respective cam trucks 552, 554, 556.

As the rotation continues, the offset protruding incisor 568 rides from the tear panel surface incisor path to the tear panel surface incisor path 590 for the tear panel folding boss transition, as seen in FIGS. 64, 70 and 74. Then, as seen in FIGS. 65 and 75, it moves onto the propagation part of the finish score fracture surface and the tear panel folding urging boss 593. When the transition occurs, the incisor debossed panel 566 separates from the top surface of the ribbed support structures 597, 598, 593.

Near the end of the rotary container lid opening sequence, just before the first forming cam follower 581 between the cam track operating parts 552D is transferred to the cam follower tip 552E of the cam track, the offset protrusion is shown as shown in FIGS. 73 and 74. The incisors 568 act on the propagating part of the finishing score fracture surface and the tear panel folding urging boss 593, and as shown in FIGS. 65 and 75, the cap receiving socket bottom panel inside the resealing container 500. Complete the folding of the tear panel 538. Following the completion of the opening order, as shown in FIG. 75, the cam followers 581, 582, and 583 are transferred to the cam follower tip 552E of the cam track, and the cam followers 581, 582, and 583 are the relief portions 551 between adjacent cams. , 555, 553, allowing the resealable container cap 560 to be removed from the resealable container lid 510. More specifically, as seen in FIG. 76, at the completion of the opening order, the first forming cam follower 581 in the third cam clearance portion 555 is placed, and the resealing container cap 560 is replaced with the resealing container lid. It can be pulled out from 510 in the axial direction.

The shape of the cam tracks 552, 554, 556, more specifically, the shape of the cam follower tip 552E of the cam track, is between the offset protruding incisors 568 and the upper surface of the top surface reinforcing structure 518 of the resealable container lid. Designed to provide clearance to avoid restraints or other interference in the rotation of the resealable container cap 560. The combination of the cam track assembly / locking detent 552A and the cam track cam follower tip 552E guarantees the reattachment of the resealable container cap 560 to the cap receiving socket only clockwise. In addition, in the resealable container lid 510 with the modified disclosure configuration, the user inserts the resealable container cap 560 into the cap receiving socket and the resealable container 500 in one of three possible directions. Can be resealed. The incisor path groove 517 provides clearance to the offset protruding incisor 568 in any direction. The associated cam followers 581, 582, 583 should engage the respective seals of the cam track 552, 554, 556 (as referred to in the cam track start / reseal section 552B of the first socket cam track 552). As it rotates, the cap seal ring 565 is pressed against the top surface of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534, providing a seal that prevents air and liquid from leaking between them.

In addition to this functional mechanism, the resealable container cap 560 has a tamper display such as the off-center tamper display function 528, as the functionality is shown in FIGS. 45-47 and 77, 78. Can include parts. The off-center tamper display function 528 includes an off-center tamper display operation element 529, which mechanically activates the off-center tamper display function 528. The off-center tamper display operating element 529 contacts the opposing surface of the top reinforced structure 518 of the resealable container lid. As shown in FIG. 77, the upper surface reinforcing structure portion 518 of the resealing container lid maintains rigidity (inflexibility) when the resealing container 500 is in the sealed (unopened) state. Rigidity is provided by the internal pressure inside the resealable container 500. The rigidity of the top surface reinforcement structure 518 of the resealable container lid supports the off-center tamper display operating element 529 and then suppresses the movement of the off-center tamper display function 528. This keeps the off-center tamper display function 528 in the correct place, negates the possibility that the off-center tamper display function 528 "reports", and this "report" is the ability of the off-center tamper display function 528 to bend. , It is preferable to generate an audible reaction or a tactile reaction. When the resealing container 500 is broken in the opening order described above in the present specification, the supporting pressure from the inside of the resealing container 500 is reduced or removed, and as a result, the upper surface reinforcing structure of the resealing container lid is reinforced. Section 518 removes the support provided on the off-center tamper display operating element 529, which results in a bent state of the off-center tamper display function 528, which, as shown in FIG. 78, causes the off-center tamper display function 528 to "report. "become able to.

Another mechanism in the configuration of the resealable container lid 510 and the resealable container cap 560 is the anti-aircraft mechanism. Flying objects may occur on the starting break of scoreline 536 on the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket and release storage pressure from within the resealable container lid 510. When the resealing container cap 560 holds a seal against the resealing container lid 510 and the resealing container lid 510 is broken, the pressure released from the resealing container 500 is released to the resealing container. Cap 560 may be a flying object. The anti-aircraft mechanism is formed by the separation between the cap seal ring 565 and the top surface of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534, while the resealing container cap 560 is the resealing container 500 in the initial opening order. In the meantime, it remains engaged with the resealable container lid 510, thus providing a path to release pressure.

As mentioned above, the resealable container cap 560 can be designed in any of a wide variety of configurations. The resealing container cap 560 illustrated in FIGS. 79 to 81 and 86 is one of the typical modifications of the resealing container cap 560.

The resealing container cap 660 has a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container cap 560. Similar mechanisms for the resealable container cap 660 and the resealable container cap 560 are labeled the same except for the leading number "6". An important feature of the resealable container cap 660 is the position of the concentric tamper display function 628. The off-center tamper display function 528 is formed at a position eccentric with respect to the center of gravity of the resealing container cap 560. Conversely, the concentric tamper display function 628 is formed concentrically with the center of gravity of the resealable container cap 660. The central position of the concentric tamper display function 628, more specifically, the concentric tamper display operation element 629 of the concentric tamper display function 628 is the resealable container lid of the resealable container lid 510 as illustrated in FIG. It is arranged so as to be in contact with the upper surface reinforcing structure portion 518. The annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel ensures that the tear panel 538 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel retains proper support from the top reinforced structure 518 of the resealable container lid to the concentric tamper display operating element 629. , Designed to be eccentric. When the resealable container 500 is in the sealed (unopened) state, the concentric tamper display operating element 629 is contacted and supported by the top surface reinforcing structure 518 of the resealable container lid, as shown in FIG. The pressure inside the vessel maintains the rigidity of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534, including the top reinforced structure 518 of the resealable vessel lid. The pressure maintains a convex or raised form of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534, including the top reinforced structure 518 of the resealable container lid. When the resealing container 500 is ruptured and pressure is released from inside the container, the support of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 is removed, including the support of the top reinforcing structure 518 of the resealing container lid. As a result, as shown in FIG. 81, the tamper display operating element and the lid surface gap 527 are formed, and the tamper display operating element and the lid surface gap 527 are used to reinforce the upper surface of the concentric tamper display operating element 629 and the resealable container lid. It extends between the upper surface of the structural portion 518 and the curved portion of the upper surface reinforcing structural portion 518 of the resealing container lid. In either state, as described above, the off-center tamper display function 528 can "report" and indicate breakage to the end user. Again, the "report" may be a tactile report, an audible report, or any other well-known reporting method.

The assembly of the resealable container lid 510 over the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container has been introduced earlier, but has not been fully described. This assembly process is illustrated by a series of sequence diagrams shown in FIGS. 82-85. The resealable container cap 560 is used before the resealable container lid 510 is attached on the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container or after the resealable container lid 510 is attached on the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container. Either can be attached to the resealable container lid 510. In a typical mounting process, the resealable container cap 560 is attached to the resealable container lid 510 prior to mounting the resealable container lid 510 on the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container, and this configuration. This is because we will not introduce the limitations faced by the process of excluding the resealable container cap 560.

The seaming chuck tool 600 is inserted inside the resealable container lid 510 defined by the inner surface of the seaming chuck wall 522. The resealable container lid 510 sits on the container seaming panel 106 and the container seaming wall 108 of the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container, as shown in FIGS. 82 and 83. The seaming wall 108 of the container is a truncated cone-shaped positioning surface formed around the opening of the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container. The container seaming panel 106 is a radial flange formed around the opening of the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container and extending outward. The Seaming Chuck Tool 600 includes a Seaming Chuck Tool Conical Drive Wall 601, a Seaming Chuck Tool Plane Drive Surface 602, and a Seaming Chuck Tool Cap Clearance Cavity 603. The seaming chuck tool conical drive wall 601 has a male truncated cone shape that is concentrically / conically positioned with the seaming chuck wall 522 of the resealing container 510 and the container seaming wall 108 of the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container. It has and is designed to receive the compressive force applied by the drive channel 606 of the first operating roller of the first operating roller 604 and the driving channel 609 of the second / final operating roller of the second / final operating roller 607. Is preferable. The seaming chuck tool flat drive surface 602 is preferably arranged around the lower end of the seaming chuck tool conical drive wall 601. Alternatively, the seaming chuck tool planar drive surface 602 can be formed within a portion of the seaming chuck tool conical drive wall 601. The seaming chuck tool planar drive surface 602 is preferably designed to provide compressive force to the seaming chuck shoulder 524 without contacting the inverted counter sink 570 on the cylindrical side wall of the resealing vessel cap 560. .. The clearance cavity 603 of the seaming chuck tool cap extends upward within the seaming chuck tool 600, and the clearance cavity 603 of this seaming chuck tool cap is re-sealed, such as the grip element 574 of the resealable container cap. Designed to provide clearance for the mechanism extending upward from the planar base 564 of the resealable container cap 560 of the sealed container cap 560. The inverted countersink 570 on the cylindrical side wall of the resealable container cap 560 is designed and placed against the seaming chuck shoulder 524 so that it does not come into contact with any part of the seaming chuck tool 600 during the seaming process. preferable. The seaming chuck tool conical drive wall 601 and the seaming chuck tool flat drive surface 602 apply compressive force on the seaming chuck wall 522 and seaming chuck shoulder 524 of the resealable container lid 510 to apply compressive force to the seaming panel 520. Ensure that the bottom surface of the container seats on the top surface of the container seaming panel 106.

The drive channel 606 of the first operating roller is formed on the contact surface of the first operating roller 604 and rolls over each part of the seaming panel 520 and the container seaming panel 106 as shown in FIG. 84. The drive channel 606 of the first operating roller is formed as a semicircular groove in the cylindrical side wall of the first operating roller 604. In a preferred step, the first operating roller 604 rotates about the axis 605 of the first operating roller, and the seaming chuck tool 600 is the cylindrical side wall 102 of the container and the first operating roller of the first operating roller 604. Roll over the associated resealable container lid 510 with respect to drive channel 606. The combined force of the first operating roller drive channel 606 and the seaming panel 520, combined with the resulting force, rolls over the combined combination of the seaming panel 520 and the container seaming panel 106. Subsequently, the second / final operating roller 607 is shown in FIG. 85 using the drive channel 609 of the second / final operating roller in the same manner as the drive channel 606 of the first operating roller of the first operating roller 604. As such, the roll-like formation is compressed into a compression-like formation. The drive channel 609 of the second / final operating roller is formed as an oval rectangular groove in the cylindrical side wall of the second / final operating roller 607.

In a preferred step, the second / final operating roller 607 rotates about the spin axis 608 of the second / final operating roller, and the seaming chuck tool 600 is the cylindrical side wall 102 of the vessel and the second / final operating roller 607. Roll over the associated resealable container lid 510 with respect to the drive channel 609 of the second / final operating roller. The contact between the drive channel 609 of the second / final operating roller and the rollover variant of the seaming panel 520 combined with the resulting force combined with the seaming panel 520 and the container seaming panel 106. Compress the combination. The compressed shape forms a sealed seam between the seaming panel 520 and the container seaming panel 106. As shown in FIG. 85, the completed container assembly is referred to as the resealable container 500 and the completed seam is referred to as the container body and lid assembly seam 509.

When the resealable container 500 is sealed, the contents of the resealable container 500 are overheated according to a process called retort. The heating is increased by the internal pressure in the resealing container 500. The increased pressure deforms the resealable container lid 510 of the resealable container 500. More specifically, due to the mechanical shape of the resealable container 500, the increased pressure is indicated by the upward arrows in FIGS. 86 and 87, the cap receiving socket bottom wall of the resealable container lid 510. The bottom of the cap receiving socket, as indicated by a pair of radially inward arrows located adjacent to each cross-section of the peripheral countersink 526, with the 534 deformed upwards into a dome or ridge. Pull the periphery of the wall 534 (essentially the peripheral counter sink 526) inward. In FIG. 86, the resealing container lid 510 and the resealing container cap 660 are shown in their original shape before retort. In FIG. 87, the resealing container lid 510 and the resealing container cap 660 are shown in a deformed and raised shape during the retort process. The enlarged view of the peripheral counter sink 526 illustrated in FIG. 88 shows the strain assembled on the mechanism of the resealing container lid 510 and the resealing container cap 660 during the retort process. The broken tangents 611, 613, 615 depict the original shape of each assembly portion 610, 612, 614, shown before undergoing the retort process. The solid tangents 621, 623, 625 describe the modified shape of each assembly portion 620, 622, 624, indicating the duration of the retort process. In FIG. 89, the resealable container lid 510 and the resealable container cap 660 are shown in a residual and deformed shape after retort.

In the original shape of the vessel lid assembly prior to undergoing the retort process, the peripheral countersink 526 has an outer countersink wall pre-retort shape 610 in the outer end region and an inner countersink wall pre-retort on the inner proximal part. It is formed to have shape 612. Further, the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 is referred to as a cap receiving socket bottom wall post-retort shape 624. The outer peripheral countersink wall preretort shape 610 is formed along the outer peripheral countersink wall preretort shape angle line-of-sight guide 611. The inner circumference counter sink wall pre-retort shape 612 is formed along the inner circumference counter sink wall pre-retort shape angle line-of-sight guide 613. The cap receiving socket bottom wall post-retort shape 624 is formed along the cap receiving socket bottom wall pre-retort shape angle line-of-sight guide 615. In the state before retorting, the outer peripheral counter sink wall pre-retort shape 610 and the inner peripheral counter sink wall pre-retort shape 612 are substantially vertically oriented. Further, the cap receiving socket bottom wall pre-retort shape 614 is generally flat and oriented substantially horizontally.

In the shape of the container lid assembly during the retort process, the outer countersink wall pre-retort shape 610 is reformed into the outer countersink wall post-retort shape 620 on the outer end region, and the inner countersink wall pre-retort shape 612 The inner peripheral countersink wall post-retort shape 622 on the inner proximal part of the peripheral countersink 526 is reshaped. Further, the cap receiving socket bottom wall pre-retort shape 614 is reformed into a cap receiving socket bottom wall post-retort shape 624. The outer peripheral countersink wall post retort shape 620 is formed along the outer peripheral countersink wall post retort shape angle line-of-sight guide 621. The inner circumference counter sink wall post retort shape 622 is formed along the inner circumference counter sink wall post retort shape angle line-of-sight guide 623. The cap receiving socket bottom wall post retort shape is formed along the cap receiving socket bottom wall post retort shape angle line-of-sight guide 625. During this step, the cap receiving socket bottom wall pre-retort shape 614 shifts from a generally planar shape to a convex or raised shape and is identified as the cap receiving socket bottom wall post-retort shape 624. This geometric condition reduces the diameter of the peripheral edge of the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 (cap receiving socket bottom wall pre-retort shape 614). This reduction in cap receiver socket bottom wall 534 peripheral edge diameter pulls the upper end of the inner countersink wall preretort shape 612 inward, changing the angle of the inner countersink wall preretort shape, effectively the inner circumference. Counter sink wall post retort shape 622. By reforming the inner circumference counter sink wall pre-retort shape 612 into the inner circumference counter sink wall post retort shape 622, the peripheral counter sink 526 is pulled inward and acts on the lower end of the cylindrical side wall 532 of the cap receiving socket. .. The resulting movement is called the outer countersink wall post-retort shape 620 by pulling the lower end of the outer countersink wall pre-retort shape 610 inward and changing the angle of the outer countersink wall pre-retort shape 610. ..

In the post-retort shape of the resealable container lid 510, the reshaped assembly portions 620, 622, 624 permanently retain some of the retort performed during the retort process.

The design of the resealable container cap 660, more specifically the inverted countersink 670 of the cylindrical side wall, is with the cylindrical inner side wall 662 of the resealable container cap and the cylindrical inner side wall 663 of the resealable container cap. Provides a flexible transition between, and corresponds to the reformation of the planar cross section 664 of the resealable vessel cap when the resealable vessel cap 660 is attached to the outer countersink wall pre-retort shape 610. This reformation is due to the force exerted on the planar cross-section 664 of the resealing vessel cap by the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 on the resealing vessel lid 510 during the retort process. Separation between the planar cross section 664 of the resealable container cap and the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 is an off-center tamper display operating element that is in mechanical contact with the top surface of the top surface reinforcement structure 518 of the resealable container lid. The offset protruding incisors 668 are the cap receiving socket bottom panel, maintained by 529 and maintaining the relative separation between the planar cross section 664 of the resealing vessel cap and the cap receiving socket bottom wall 534 during the retort process. Avoid placing breaking forces prematurely on the circular scoreline 536 of. In addition, the remodeling of the cylindrical side wall 532 of the cap receiving socket during the retort process, more specifically the outer countersink wall pre-retort shape 610, puts the cam tracks 552, 554, 556 on the cam followers 581, 582, respectively. The assembly of the resealable container cap 660 is held on the resealable container lid 510 when abutted against the 583 and maximally deformed during the retort process.

The design of the resealing container cap 660, more specifically the cylindrical inner side wall 662 of the resealing container cap, accommodates changes in the shape of the peripheral countersink 526 of the resealing container lid 510 during and after the retort process. Fitted to correspond. The final result allows the consumer to rotate the cylindrical inner side wall 662 of the resealing container cap within the peripheral countersink 526 after the retort process is complete. This avoids coupling between the cam followers 581, 582, 583 in the peripheral counter sink 526 while holding the cam followers 581, 582, 583 on the mating surfaces of the respective cam tracks 551, 553, 555. Deformation of the cylindrical side wall 532 of the cap receiving socket due to the retort process reduces the diameter of the lower part of the 526, so between the cam followers 581, 582, 583 and the mating surfaces of each cam track 551, 553, 555. It is recognized that it is adapted to strengthen the engagement.

The resulting post-retort shape is shown in cross section of the resealed container 500 and is presented in FIG. 89.

The resealable container 500 can include a mechanism that allows nesting between assemblies 500, as shown in FIG. The container sealed bottom wall 504 of the resealable container 500 includes a clearance that accommodates an upwardly extending mechanism, such as the grip element 674 of a pair of resealable container caps. A countersink or other mechanism can be formed within the container sealed bottom wall 504, which is formed and dimensioned to nest within the container body and lid assembly seam 509 of the seaming chuck tool 600.

Modifications such as the resealable container cap 560 can be included, and the resealable container lid 510 is also willing to incorporate modifications in the design. For example, in the resealing container lid 710 shown in FIGS. 91 to 94, the ring of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is compared with the layout of the ring score line 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel in the resealing container lid 510. An example of layout modification in scoreline 736 is introduced. The resealing container lid 710 has a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container lid 510. Similar mechanisms for the resealable container lid 710 and the resealable container lid 510 are labeled the same except for the leading number "7". In the resealable container lid 510, as best shown in FIG. 44, the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel passes through each of the opposing side walls of the incisor path groove 517 to the incisor. It is sent across the bottom surface of the path groove 517.
Conversely, the annular scoreline 736 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel, as best shown in FIG. 93, is the associated end of the incisor path groove 717 (the incisor path 792 for the tear panel surface transition). (Identified as) is sent through the upper tangent end. The scoreline fracture surface thin starting area 746 is formed to extend inward from the outside or exposed surface of the top reinforcing structure of the resealable vessel lid 718, with the end wall on the incisor path groove 717 down. Will be placed (essentially the incisor path 792 for tear panel surface transition). The seal reinforcement 747 in the scoreline thinning region is located on the facing or inner surface of the top surface reinforcement structure 718 of the resealable container lid, more specifically as shown in the bottom views presented in FIGS. 92 and 94. Apply around the area of the scoreline fracture surface thin start area 746 sent through the upper tangential end of the relevant end of the incisor path groove 717 (incisor path 792 for tear panel surface transition). Is preferable. The seal reinforcement 747 in the scoreline thinning region can be made of the same material used to form the cap seal ring 565 in order to optimize the manufacturing process and cost. If the scoreline fracture surface thinning start region 746 breaks prematurely, the seal reinforcement 747 in the scoreline thinning region retains the seal. Alternatively, the scoreline fracture surface thinning start area 746 relies on the seal reinforcement 747 of the scoreline thinning area to maintain the sealed container so that the resealable container lid 510 is completely cut. Can be configured.

The annular scorelines 536, 736 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel are generally formed using a standard single-step molding process. The resealing container lid 810 shown in FIGS. 95 to 105 introduces a multi-step process for forming the annular scoreline 836 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. The resealing container lid 810 has a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container lids 510 and 710. Similar mechanisms of the resealable container lids 810 and the resealable container lids 510 and 710 have the same reference numerals except for the leading number "8" unless otherwise specified. The first incisor pathway index formation 894 and the second incisor pathway index formation 896 are used in the multi-step process for forming the annular scoreline 836 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. The first incisor pathway index formation 894 is located on the first end of the incisor pathway groove 817, which includes the incisor pathway 892 for the tear panel surface transition. The second incisor pathway index formation 896 is preferably formed at the second end of the incisor pathway groove 817 and is located close to the tear panel hinge 839. The first incisor pathway index formation 894 and the second incisor pathway index formation 896 are formed using a more repeatable and accurate forming step than the step of forming the end of the incisor pathway groove 817.
In addition, the geometry of the indexing mechanisms 894, 896 provides more accurate indexing alignment than the end shape of the incisor path groove 817, providing a more accurate geometry and cap receiving socket. It is like forming an annular scoreline 836 on the bottom panel and each mechanism. The thin film formation region 895 of the lid bottom score line introduced in FIG. 96 is the score of the facing surface or the inner surface of the first incisor pathway index formation 894, more specifically, the annular score line 836 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. The line fracture surface can be formed around the thin starting area 846.

The multi-step process of forming the annular scoreline 836 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is illustrated by a series of illustrations presented in FIGS. 97-105. As the scoring process thins the material of the resealable container lid 810, most of the mechanism of the resealable container lid 810 is formed first, as shown in FIG. This includes the incisor path groove 817. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 98, the indexing mechanisms 894 and 896 are formed at each end of the incisor path groove 817, and as introduced in FIG. 101, the lid adjustment function anvil 910A and the lid adjustment function punch tool. I am using 960A. The lid adjustment function punch tool 960A includes the first incisor path index forming punch 994 and the second incisor path index forming punch 996 extending downward from the bottom surface 964 of the lid adjusting function punch tool body 962. including. The lid adjustment function anvil 910A includes a mechanism formed within the bottom wall anvil 934 of the cap receiving socket of the cylindrical anvil body 932 of the cap receiving socket that properly supports the resealable container lid 810. The upper surface reinforcing structure portion 918 of the resealing container lid is recessed into the bottom wall anvil 934 of the cap receiving socket to accommodate the upper surface reinforcing structure portion 818 of the resealing container lid. The socket bottom wall 941 for the surface reinforcement formation transition anvil is provided with a transition portion between the bottom wall anvil 934 of the cap receiving socket and the top surface reinforcement structure anvil 918 of the resealable container lid. The incisor path groove anvil 917 is recessed into the top reinforced structure anvil 918 of the resealable container lid to accommodate the incisor path groove 817. The shape of the top reinforced structure anvil 918 of the resealable container lid and the path groove anvil 917 of the incisors is used as an initial alignment or adjustment mechanism between the partially completed container lid 810 and the lid adjustment function anvil 910A. Will be done. The first incisor pathway index forming anvil 993 and the second incisor pathway index forming anvil 997 are formed at the end of the incisor pathway groove anvil 917, the first incisor pathway index forming punch 994 and the second incisor, respectively. Accepts material deformed by path index forming punch 996.
The gap between the first incisor pathway index forming punch 994 and the first incisor pathway index forming anvil 993 is substantially the same as the material thickness of the first incisor pathway index forming 894. Similarly, the gap between the second incisor pathway index forming punch 996 and the second incisor pathway index forming anvil 997 is substantially the same as the material thickness of the second incisor pathway index forming 896. The first incisor pathway index forming punch 994 and the second incisor pathway index forming punch 996 are used to maintain alignment between the punch tool 960B in the first scoreline section and the punch tool 960C in the second scoreline section. NS.

The punch tool 960B of the first score line portion is the same as the punch tool 960A of the lid adjustment function, and the punch 933 of the first score line forming portion is introduced. The punch 933 of the first scoreline forming portion is divided into two parts, each of which has an overlap provision with the first scoreline forming portion punch end 938 and the tear panel hinge forming punch region 939. It extends in between. The resealable container lid 810 uses the lid adjustment function anvil 910A on the resealable container lid 810 and the positioning mechanisms 993 and 997 on the respective positioning mechanisms 894 and 896 during the manufacturing process to follow the lid adjustment function anvil. You will be seated in the 910A. Then, using the punch tool 960B of the first score line portion, it is formed in at least one first score line forming portion 833 as shown in FIG. 99.

The punch tool 960C of the second score line part is the same as the punch tool 960A of the lid adjustment function, and the punch 946 of the score line fracture surface thin start area extending between the punch 947 of the two score line part overlapping areas Has been introduced. The punch 947 of each scoreline overlapping region is aligned or aligned at each location of the first scoreline forming punch end 938 with lid adjustment function 910B with thinning formation anvil B of the lid bottom scoreline. Arranged so that they overlap. This forms one continuous scoreline 836. As shown in FIG. 100, the resealable container lid 810 remains seated in the thin-film forming anvil 910B of the lid bottom scoreline, and each scoreline portion is used by using the punch tool 960C of the second scoreline portion. A scoreline fracture surface thin starting area 846 will be formed that extends between the overlapping areas 847.
The 1st incisor path index forming punch 994 and the 2nd incisor path index forming punch 996 are used to maintain the adjustment between the punching tools 960B of the 1st score line section and the punch tool 960C of the 2nd score line section. used.

As best shown in the enlarged view illustrated in FIG. 105, the punch 946 in the scoreline fracture surface thin start region can include a slightly convex dome (making the mechanism clear). For this purpose, the lid adjustment function punch tool 960 and the thin film formation anvil 910B of the lid bottom scoreline are separated from the resealable container lid 810). As best shown in the magnified view illustrated in FIG. 105, the thinning formation region anvil 995 of the lid bottom scoreline can also include a slightly convex dome. These convex domes 946 and 995 form a concave recess in the facing surface of the first incisor pathway index formation 894, and more specifically, the scoreline is broken on the upper surface of the first incisor pathway index formation 894. The surface thinning start region 846 is formed, and the thinning formation region 895 of the lid bottom score line is formed on the lower surface facing the first incisor pathway index formation 894. The convex dome of the second scoreline punch tool 960C (or the completed scoreline punch tool 960D) and the thinned formation anvil 910B of the lid bottom scoreline allows the material to flow outward along the plane direction of the material. It is provided so that it faces (generally perpendicular to the vertical axis of the pressing action).

In a more general embodiment, the annular scoreline 836 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel and each mechanism for the lid adjustment function with the thin film forming anvil 910B of the lid bottom scoreline, as shown in FIG. 104. Can be formed using a single striking punch, such as the Punch Tool 960D for a completed scoreline that works with.

The resealing container lid 1010 shown in FIGS. 106 to 112 introduces yet another modification of the opening configuration. The resealing container cap 1010 has a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container cap 810. Similar mechanisms for the resealable container lid 1010 and the resealable container lid 810 are labeled the same, except for the leading number "10", unless otherwise stated. The resealable container lid 1010 is formed within the first incisor path purification chamfer surface 1094 at one end of the incisor path groove 1017, as best shown in the enlarged part of the illustration shown in FIG. Includes an annular scoreline 1036 on the bottom panel of the cap receiving socket with a fracture starting area 1046. The fracture initiation portion 1046 can be formed to have an angled trough or recess. The incisor path groove 1017 can be manufactured using a single punching process, but is preferably manufactured using a multi-step molding process. The typical end of the incisor path groove 1017 is formed to have a chamfered straight end wall that enhances the alignment function, or the annular scoreline 1036 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel or It forms at least one scoreline mechanism 1046, 1047.
The fracture start of the annular scoreline 1036 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is sent to the debossed region of the first incisor path purification chamfered surface 1094 to the annular scoreline 1036 and scoreline fracture surface of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. An overlapping region is formed between the thin starting regions 1046, which is identified as the scoreline overlapping region 1047. A fracture start of the annular scoreline 1036 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel and an associated scoreline fracture surface thin start area 1046 were formed on the first incisor pathway purified chamfer surface 1094 of the resealing vessel lid 1010. The resealable container lid 1010 has a pair of lid bottom scoreline hinge creases 1095 formed on the bottom surface of the resealable container lid 1010 adjacent to the scoreline fracture surface thin start area 1046, as shown in FIG. It has been introduced and is preferably placed on the side of each of its two vertical ends. Each of the folds 1095 of the pair of lid bottom scoreline hinges is preferably located perpendicular or tangential to the arch of the incisor path groove 1017.

In use, the offset protruding incisor 568 (not shown) should move along the incisor pathway groove 1017 approaching the scoreline fracture thinning start region 1046 within the first incisor pathway purification chamfer surface 1094. become. The offset protruding incisors 568 then contact the scoreline fracture surface thin start region 1046 and apply an opening force to break the scoreline fracture surface thin start region 1046. Breaking the scoreline fracture surface thin start region 1046 can reduce the strength of the region and reduce the force to break the scoreline overlap region 1047 and the subsequent annular scoreline 1036 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. The lid bottom scoreline hinge crease 1095 folds the material outwards around the scoreline fracture surface thin start area 1046 so that the offset protruding incisors 568 exit from the end of the incisor path groove 1017. Incorporating free passage clearance, it further propagates the breakage of the annular scoreline 1036 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel while maintaining a downward force on the incisor path 1092 for thea panel surface transition. The step of separating the tear panel 1038 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel from the top reinforcing structure 1018 of the resealable container lid is as described above in other variants, the offset protruding incisors 568 are the propagation part of the additional score breakage. And incisors that engage with the support boss retractor 1097 of the tear panel, in combination with various mechanisms that engage with each other to generate vertically applied forces, such as the incisor deboss panel 566, to cut downward forces for the tear panel surface transition. Add to tooth path 1092.

The resealing container lid 1110 shown in FIGS. 113 to 126 incorporates a modified example of holding the resealing container cap 1160 in the cap receiving socket of the resealing container lid 110. The resealing container cap 1110 has a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container cap 510. Unless otherwise specified, similar mechanisms of the resealable container lid 1110 and the resealable container lid 510 have the same reference numerals except for the leading number "11", and the modified example of the container lid 510 is re-sealed. The sealed container cap 1160 and the resealed container lid 1110 are adapted to be held as an assembly through their use. An important feature of the resealable container lid 110 and the resealable container lid 510 is the formation of cam tracks 1152, 1154, 1156, more specifically, as best shown in FIG. 126, representative. As a typical cam track, it is shown to be reflected in the first socket cap holding cam track 1152 and the cam follower lock part 1152E of the cam track. The cam follower lock portion 1152E of the cam truck is fed downward as compared with the cam follower tip portion 552E of the cam truck of FIG. 53, which is presented upward. The resealable container cap 1160 includes additional mechanisms related to the main purpose of this variant, the resealable container lid 1110 and the resealable container cap 1160 are designed to be attached to each other. .. The distribution opening 1161 of the resealable container cap is incorporated through the planar cross section 1164 of the resealable container cap 1160. The distribution opening 1161 of the resealable container cap is rotationally aligned with the opening defined by the annular scoreline 1136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel of the resealable container lid 110, as shown in FIGS. 122 and 123. Be placed. The tear panel compatible seal gasket 1165 is supported under the plane cross section 1164 of the resealable container cap. The tear panel compatible seal gasket 1165 is rotationally aligned with the opening defined by the annular scoreline 1136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel of the resealing container lid 110, but is resealed, as shown in FIG. 117. It is placed offset from the distribution opening 1161 of the type container cap. The tear panel compatible seal gasket 1165 can be of any suitable shape to adequately seal the opening defined by the annular scoreline 1136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. In a typical embodiment, the tear panel compatible seal gasket 1165 is in the shape of a distribution opening, more specifically in the shape of a teardrop to accommodate the area around the tear panel hinge 1139. The distribution opening 1161 of the resealing container cap allows the contents to be obtained and distributed from within the broken resealing container lid 1110 of the resealing container lid 1110.
After the annular scoreline 1136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel was broken and the tear panel 1138 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel was bent from the top reinforced structure 1118 of the resealable container lid, the tear panel compatible seal gasket 1165 was opened. Seal the container. The resealable container cap 1160 is held in the shape of a cam track within the cap receiving socket of the resealable container lid 1110. The cam track assembly / lock detent 1152A limits the movement of each cam follower 1181 in the clockwise direction. Deformation of the cam follower lock portion 1152 of the cam track limits the movement of each cam follower 1181 in the counterclockwise direction. The same rotation limits are provided by the cam tracks 1152, 1154, 1156 and the cam followers 1181, 1182, 1183, respectively. Once implemented, the cam follower 1181 is located at the cam track start / reseal 1152B of the first socket cap holding cam track 1152. The remaining cam followers 1182 and 1183 will be placed in similar sections of the cam tracks 1154 and 1156, respectively. This assembly configuration holds the resealable container cap 1160 in a fixed rotating position from shipment to distribution and sale to use. In use, the consumer rotates the resealable container cap 1160 in a counterclockwise motion with an offset protruding incisor 568 that breaks the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel (described above). In a similar manner, the offset protruding incisors 1168 break the annular scoreline 1136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel. As the resealable vessel cap 1160 continues to rotate, the distribution opening 1161 of the resealable vessel cap is defined by the annular scoreline 1136 of the broken cap receiving socket bottom panel, as shown in FIGS. 123 and 124. It is placed on the distribution opening. When the consumer determines that the desired volume has been distributed from the resealable container 1100, the consumer rotates the resealable container cap 1160 clockwise and the tear panel conforming seal as shown in FIGS. 124 and 125. Transfer the gasket 1165 onto the distribution opening defined by the annular scoreline 1136 of the broken cap receiving socket bottom panel. Resealing container lid 110 and each resealing container cap 1160, as well as additional illustrations are included to properly present details of their interactions with each other.

All of the above configurations use counterclockwise rotation for the annular scorelines 536, 736, 836, 1036, 1136 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel of each resealing container lid 510, 810, 810, 1010, 1110. Break. Each of these configurations holds the resealable container caps 560, 660, 1160 within the cap receiving cavities of the resealable container lids 510, 710, 810, 1010, 1110 after the manufacturing, distribution and sales processes. It is adapted to be.

It is understood that the container lid can be modified to use a reusable or individually available variant container cap. The resealable container lid 1210 is adapted to accept reusable or individually available variants of the container cap, such as the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260, as shown in FIGS. 127-135. NS. The resealing container lid 1210 detailed in FIGS. 127 to 129 has a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container lid 510. Similar mechanisms for the resealable container lid 1210 and the resealable container lid 510 are labeled the same except for the leading number "12". In this configuration, the resealable container 1200 will be manufactured, distributed, and sold except for the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260, which is a modified example in which the container shown in FIG. 134 is sealed. In the resealing container lid 510, the annular scoreline 536 of the cap receiving socket bottom panel and each of the other opening mechanisms adjust the counterclockwise rotation of the resealing container cap 560 to adjust the cap receiving socket bottom panel. The annular scoreline 536 of the cap is oriented to break and open the scoreline 538 on the bottom panel of its cap receiving socket. Conversely, in the resealing container lid 1210, the annular scoreline 1236 and each other opening mechanism that opens clockwise on the cap receiving socket bottom panel adjust the clockwise rotation of the container lid socket engaging opening tool 1260. Then, the annular scoreline 1236 to be opened clockwise of the cap receiving socket bottom panel is broken, and the tear panel 1238 to be opened clockwise is oriented so as to be opened. In essence, the annular scoreline 1236 and each other opening mechanism that opens clockwise on the cap receiving socket bottom panel is a mirror image of the annular scoreline 536 and each other opening mechanism on the cap receiving socket bottom panel.

In this concept, the vessel lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 is not pre-attached to the resealable vessel lid 1210, so an offset overhang cut within the incisor path groove 517 and just before the incisor path 592 for tear panel surface transition. No mechanism is required to fit the teeth 568. A further advantage in this configuration is that the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 can be pivotally oriented and the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 can be attached to the resealing container lid 1210 in any of three directions. Is. In a typical embodiment, the mechanism of the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 is reflected at a 120 degree angle portion, but the resealing container lid 1210 and the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 are any suitable. It can be designed with a large number of similar corners.

The container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 detailed in FIGS. 130 to 133 is a modification of the resealing container cap 560 and comprises a mechanism similar to that of the resealing container cap 560. Similar mechanisms for the Container Closure Socket Engagement Opening Tool 1260 and Resealable Container Cap 560 are labeled the same, except for the leading number "12", unless otherwise stated. The container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 is formed using any suitable manufacturing process. A typical container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 is manufactured using a molding process. The container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260 includes the opening tool outer side wall 1262, which carries a number of similar cam followers 1281 extending radially outward and equidistantly spaced around its lower periphery. It's free. The opening tool container 1271, which partially covers the side wall, spatially externally contacts the opening tool outer side wall 1262 of the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260, and forms the opening tool container body and the lid assembly seam cavity 1270 between them. The opening tool container body and lid assembly seam cavity 1270 is dimensioned and formed to fit into the container body and lid assembly seam 1209 of the resealing container 1200. Multiple grip elements, such as the opening tool grip element 1274 and the force plane 1275 of each opening tool grip element, are formed around the radial outer surface of the opening tool container 1271 that partially covers the side wall. Multiple opening tool distribution openings 1261 are formed through the opening tool plane cross section. Each opening tool distribution opening 1261 will be arranged to rotate from within the resealing container lid 1200 to a position where the contents can be distributed.

Multiple incisors 1268 extend axially downward from the sealing surface of the opening tool plane cross section 1264, and the incisors 1268 are equidistant from the axis of rotation of the container lid socket engagement opening tool 1260.
