Description

本発明は、口頸部の外周面には雄螺条及びこの雄螺条の下方に位置する係止あご部が形成されている容器に適用され、容器の口頸部を開封した後においても容器蓋の全体が容器の口頸部から分離されることがない、タンパーエビデント特性を備えた合成樹脂製容器蓋に関する。 The present invention is applied to a container in which a male thread and a locking jaw portion located below the male thread are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck, and even after the mouth and neck of the container are opened. The present invention relates to a synthetic resin container lid with tamper-evident properties that prevents the entire container lid from being separated from the mouth and neck of the container.

口頸部の外周面には雄螺条及びこの雄螺条の下方に位置する係止あご部が形成されている容器に適用される合成樹脂製容器蓋として、下記特許文献1乃至3には、天面壁及びこの天面壁の周縁から垂下する筒状スカート壁を有し、スカート壁の内周面には口頸部の雄螺条に螺合せしめられる雌螺条が形成されている本体と、周方向に間隔をおいて配設された複数個の破断橋絡部を介して該本体の該スカート壁に接続され、内周面には係止あご部に係止せしめられる係止手段が配設されている筒状タンパーエビデント裾部と、を含む形態の合成樹脂製容器蓋が開示されている。係止手段は周方向に間隔をおいて配設され且つタンパーエビデント裾部に接続された基端から上方及び半径方向内方に延出する複数個の係止片又は周方向に連続して延在し且つタンパーエビデント裾部に接続された基端から上方及び半径方向内方に延出する1個の係止片から構成されている。更に、本体のスカート壁には下方に突出する突出片が配設されており、突出片の周方向片側又は両側には、本体のスカート壁とタンパーエビデント裾部とを接続し且つタンパーエビデント裾部に対する本体の上方への移動を許容する非破断接続片が配設されている。 Patent Documents 1 to 3 below describe synthetic resin container lids that are applied to containers in which a male thread and a locking jaw located below the male thread are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck. , a main body having a top wall and a cylindrical skirt wall hanging from the periphery of the top wall, and a female thread formed on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall to be screwed into a male thread of the mouth and neck part; , connected to the skirt wall of the main body via a plurality of broken bridges arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and having locking means on the inner circumferential surface that is locked to the locking jaw. A synthetic resin container lid is disclosed that includes a cylindrical tamper-evident hem. The locking means includes a plurality of locking pieces disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction and extending upward and radially inward from the base end connected to the tamper-evident hem, or continuous in the circumferential direction. It consists of one locking piece extending upwardly and radially inwardly from the proximal end connected to the tamper-evident hem. Further, the skirt wall of the main body is provided with a protruding piece that protrudes downward, and one or both sides of the protruding piece in the circumferential direction connects the skirt wall of the main body and the tamper-evident hem. A non-breakable connection piece is provided that allows upward movement of the body relative to the hem.

上記のとおりの容器蓋を容器の口頸部に装着して口頸部を密封する際には、口頸部に容器蓋を被嵌して閉方向に回転し、容器蓋の雌螺条を口頸部の雄螺条に螺合せしめる。螺合の進行に応じて口頸部に対して容器蓋が下降され、タンパーエビデント裾部に形成されている係止手段は口頸部の係止あご部を弾性的に乗り越えてその下方に位置せしめられる。口頸部を開封する際には、容器蓋を開方向に回転せしめて口頸部の雄螺条と容器蓋の雌螺条との螺合を解除する。螺合の解除に応じて容器蓋の本体は口頸部に対して上昇されるが、タンパーエビデント裾部は係止手段が口頸部の係止あご部に係止することによって上昇が阻止され、従って破断橋絡部に応力が生成され破断橋絡部が破断される。破断橋絡部が破断された後に本体が上昇を続け、タンパーエビデント裾部から本体が上方に離隔されると、これに応じて非破断接続片が変形せしめられるが、非破断接続片が破断されることはなくタンパーエビデント裾部は口頸部に装着され続け、本体が口頸部から離脱された後においても本体は非破断接続片を介してタンパーエビデント裾部に接続され続け、従って容器の口頸部から分離されることはない。容器蓋の本体が口頸部から離脱された後においては、非破断接続片の所定部位を旋回中心として容器蓋の本体が口頸部から離隔する方向に旋回される。そして、容器蓋の本体が所定角度を超えて旋回されると、スカート壁に形成されている突出片の先端部が口頸部の係止あご部を弾性的に乗り越えて係止あご部の上面側に位置し、これによって本体が口頸部に接近する方向に戻ることが阻止され、本体は口頸部から離隔した位置に保持され、口頸部が開封された状態に維持させる。突出片の先端部が係止あご部を弾性的に乗り越える際には、突出片が弾性的に変形し次いで弾性的に復元することに起因して音が発生され、これによって消費者は容器蓋の本体が所要開位置まで旋回されたことを認識することができる。 When attaching the container lid as described above to the mouth and neck of the container to seal the mouth and neck, fit the container lid onto the mouth and neck, rotate it in the closing direction, and tighten the female thread on the container lid. Screw it onto the male thread on the mouth and neck. As the screwing progresses, the container lid is lowered relative to the mouth and neck, and the locking means formed on the tamper-evident hem elastically overcomes the locking jaws of the mouth and neck and moves downwards. be positioned. When opening the mouth and neck, the container lid is rotated in the opening direction to release the threaded engagement between the male thread on the mouth and neck and the female thread on the container lid. When the screw is released, the main body of the container lid is raised relative to the mouth and neck, but the tamper-evident hem is prevented from rising by the locking means engaging the locking jaws of the mouth and neck. Therefore, stress is generated in the broken bridge and the broken bridge is ruptured. When the main body continues to rise after the broken bridging part is broken and is separated upward from the tamper-evident hem, the non-breakable connection piece is deformed accordingly, but the non-breakable connection piece breaks. The tamper-evident hem continues to be attached to the mouth and neck without being removed, and even after the main body is separated from the mouth and neck, the main body continues to be connected to the tamper-evident hem via the non-breakable connection piece, Therefore, it is not separated from the mouth and neck of the container. After the main body of the container lid is separated from the mouth and neck, the main body of the container lid is pivoted in a direction away from the mouth and neck about a predetermined portion of the non-breakable connecting piece. When the main body of the container lid is turned beyond a predetermined angle, the tip of the protruding piece formed on the skirt wall elastically climbs over the locking jaw of the mouth and neck, and the upper surface of the locking jaw. located laterally, thereby preventing the body from moving back toward the mouth and neck, and retaining the body in a position away from the mouth and neck to maintain the mouth and neck in an unsealed condition. When the tip of the protruding piece elastically passes over the locking jaw, a sound is generated due to the protruding piece being elastically deformed and then elastically restored, which causes the consumer to close the container lid. It can be recognized that the main body of has been swung to the required open position.

而して、近時における環境問題及び材料コスト削減の観点から包装容器の軽量化が要請され、容器蓋においても薄肉化と共に軸線方向寸法の低減が要請されている状況において、本発明者等の経験によれば、上記のとおりの従来の容器蓋には、特に口頸部の軸線方向長さが比較的短く、これに応じて容器蓋の軸線方向寸法が比較的短い(即ち上下方向高さが比較的低い)場合、口頸部を開封するために口頸部から離脱された本体を口頸部から離隔する方向に旋回し、これによって突出片の先端部が口頸部の係止あご部を弾性的に乗り越えて係止あご部の上側に位置する際に、容器蓋の軸線方向寸法が比較的短いことに起因して突出片の延出長さも比較的短くなってしまう故に、突出片と係止あご部との相互干渉量が過小になり、(1)突出片の先端部が一旦係止あご部の上側になった後に偶発的に突出片の先端部が係止あご部の下側に戻ってしまって本体が所要開位置に維持されない傾向がある、(2)突出片が係止あご部を弾性的に乗り越える際の音の発生が不充分で消費者は本体が所要開位置まで旋回されたことを認識することができないことが少なくない、という解決すべき課題があることが判明している。 Therefore, in light of the recent demand for lighter packaging containers from the viewpoint of environmental issues and material cost reduction, and for container lids as well, there is a need for thinner walls and reduced axial dimensions. Experience has shown that conventional container closures as described above have a relatively short axial length, especially in the mouth and neck region, and correspondingly a relatively short axial dimension of the container closure (i.e. a vertical height). (relatively low), in order to unseal the mouth and neck, the main body detached from the mouth and neck is turned in a direction away from the mouth and neck, thereby causing the tip of the protruding piece to engage the locking jaws of the mouth and neck. When the protruding piece elastically moves over the locking jaw and is located above the locking jaw, the length of the protruding piece becomes relatively short due to the relatively short axial dimension of the container lid. The amount of mutual interference between the protruding piece and the locking jaw becomes too small, and (1) the tip of the protruding piece accidentally comes into contact with the locking jaw once the tip of the protruding piece is above the locking jaw. (2) When the protruding piece elastically overcomes the locking jaw, the sound generated is insufficient and the consumer is unable to keep the main body in the required open position. It has been found that there is a problem that needs to be solved in that it is often not possible to recognize that the vehicle has been turned to a certain position.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明者等は、先に、特願2019-025644の明細書において、少なくとも突出片が存在する角度領域の係止片には上方に延びる延出部が形成されており、突出片が存在する角度領域に形成された延出部は口頸部に合成樹脂製容器蓋が装着された状態において口頸部の係止あご部と突出片との間に位置する合成樹脂製容器蓋を提案した。この合成樹脂製容器蓋によれば、口頸部から離脱された本体が口頸部から離隔する方向に旋回される際に、突出片の先端部は口頸部の係止あご部と共にその半径方向外側に位置する延出部を弾性的に乗り越え、突出片の先端部は延出部によって干渉される。それ故に、突出片の先端部が一旦係止あご部の上側になった後に偶発的に突出片の先端部が係止あご部の下側に戻ってしまうことが防止される。 In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors previously proposed in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-025644 that an extending portion extending upward is formed on the locking piece at least in the angular region where the protruding piece is present. The extending part formed in the angular region where the protruding piece is located is located between the locking jaw part of the mouth and neck part and the protruding piece when the synthetic resin container lid is attached to the mouth and neck part. We proposed a synthetic resin container lid. According to this synthetic resin container lid, when the main body detached from the mouth and neck is turned in a direction away from the mouth and neck, the tip of the protruding piece along with the locking jaw of the mouth and neck will be rotated along its radius. The protruding piece elastically rides over the extending portion located on the outside in the direction, and the tip of the protruding piece is interfered with by the extending portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tip of the protruding piece from accidentally returning to the underside of the locking jaw after the tip of the protruding piece is once placed above the locking jaw.

然るに、本発明者等が先に提案した合成樹脂製容器蓋も、未だ充分に満足することができるものではなく、次のとおりの課題が残留することが判明した。即ち、複数個の破断橋絡部が破断されるとタンパーエビデント裾部は口頸部に対して若干降下することから、タンパーエビデント裾部が口頸部に対して降下した状態で本体が口頸部に対して繰り返し旋回せしめられると、偶発的に延出部が係止あご部の下側に潜り込んでしまう虞があり、複数個の破断橋絡部が破断された状態において延出部が係止あご部の下側に潜り込んでしまうと上記(1)の課題は解決されない。これを防止すべく延出部の上方への延出量を増加させることも考えられるが、かかる延出量が過剰であった場合には突出片の先端部が延出部に干渉して、本体が所要開位置から口頸部に接近する方向に旋回することができなくなる虞がある。 However, it has been found that the synthetic resin container lid previously proposed by the present inventors is still not fully satisfactory, and the following problems remain. In other words, when a plurality of broken bridging parts are broken, the tamper-evident hem slightly descends relative to the mouth and neck, so the main body is If the extension is repeatedly rotated with respect to the mouth and neck, there is a risk that the extension may accidentally slip under the locking jaw, and the extension may If it gets under the locking jaw, problem (1) above will not be solved. In order to prevent this, it may be possible to increase the amount of upward extension of the extension, but if the amount of extension is excessive, the tip of the protrusion piece may interfere with the extension. There is a risk that the main body will not be able to turn from the required open position in a direction that approaches the mouth and neck.

本発明は上記事実に鑑みてなされたものであり、その主たる技術的課題は、本発明者等が先に提案した合成樹脂製容器蓋に更に改良を加えて、複数個の破断橋絡部が破断された状態で本体が口頸部に対して繰り返し旋回せしめられても、突出片が存在する角度領域の係止片が口頸部の係止あご部の下側に潜り込むことを防止すると共に、本体が所要開位置から口頸部に接近する方向に旋回される際に、突出片の先端部が係止片に干渉して旋回不能となることを回避することである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above facts, and its main technical problem is to further improve the synthetic resin container lid previously proposed by the present inventors, so that a plurality of broken bridges can be removed. Even if the main body is repeatedly rotated with respect to the mouth and neck in a broken state, the locking piece in the angular region where the protruding piece is present is prevented from slipping into the underside of the locking jaw of the mouth and neck. Another object of the present invention is to prevent the distal end of the projecting piece from interfering with the locking piece and becoming unable to turn when the main body is turned from a required open position in a direction approaching the mouth and neck.

本発明者等は、鋭意検討を重ねた結果、突出片が存在する角度領域の係止片には上方に延びる延出付加部を形成し、延出付加部は複数個の破断橋絡部が破断された状態において口頸部の係止あご部と突出片との間に位置し且つ係止あご部を越えて上方に延びるようにすると共に、延出付加部における係止あご部を越えて上方に延びる部分の少なくとも外側面を上方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜させることで、上記主たる技術的課題を解決することができることを見出した。 As a result of extensive studies, the present inventors formed an upwardly extending extension part on the locking piece in the angular region where the protruding piece exists, and the extended extension part has a plurality of broken bridge parts. located between the locking jaw of the mouth and neck part and the protruding piece in the broken state and extending upwardly beyond the locking jaw, and extending beyond the locking jaw of the extended extension part; It has been found that the above-mentioned main technical problem can be solved by sloping at least the outer surface of the upwardly extending portion upwardly and radially inwardly.

即ち、本発明によれば、上記主たる技術的課題を達成する容器蓋として、口頸部の外周面には雄螺条及び該雄螺条の下方に位置する係止あご部が形成されている容器に適用される合成樹脂製容器蓋であって、天面壁及び該天面壁の周縁から垂下する筒状スカート壁を有し、該スカート壁の内周面には該雄螺条に螺合せしめられる雌螺条が形成されている本体と、周方向に間隔をおいて配設された複数個の破断橋絡部を介して該本体の該スカート壁に接続され、内周面には該係止あご部に係止せしめられる係止手段が配設されている筒状タンパーエビデント裾部とを含み、該係止手段は周方向に間隔をおいて配設され且つ該タンパーエビデント裾部に接続された基端から上方及び半径方向内方に延出する複数個の係止片又は周方向に連続して延在し且つ該タンパーエビデント裾部に接続された基端から上方及び半径方向内方に延出する環状の係止片から構成されており、該本体の該スカート壁には下方に突出する突出片が配設されており、そして更に該本体のスカート壁と該タンパーエビデント裾部とを接続し且つ該タンパーエビデント裾部に対する該本体の上方への移動を許容する非破断接続片が配設されている合成樹脂製容器蓋において、
該突出片が存在する角度領域の該係止片には、該複数個の破断橋絡部が破断された状態において該口頸部の該係止あご部と該突出片との間に位置し且つ該係止あご部を越えて上方に延びる延出付加部が形成されており、該延出付加部における該係止あご部を越えて上方に延びる部分の少なくとも外側面は上方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜している、ことを特徴とする合成樹脂製容器蓋が提供される。
That is, according to the present invention, as a container lid that achieves the above-mentioned main technical problem, a male thread and a locking jaw portion located below the male thread are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mouth and neck. A synthetic resin container lid applied to a container, which has a top wall and a cylindrical skirt wall hanging from the periphery of the top wall, and has a male thread screwed onto the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall. The main body is connected to the skirt wall of the main body through a plurality of broken bridges arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the inner circumferential surface is connected to the skirt wall. a cylindrical tamper-evident hem portion provided with locking means to be locked to the stop jaw, the locking means being spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and the tamper-evident hem portion a plurality of locking pieces extending upward and radially inward from the proximal end connected to the tamper-evident hem; or upward and radial from the proximal end extending continuously in the circumferential direction and connected to the tamper-evident hem; The skirt wall of the main body is provided with a protruding piece that projects downward, and the skirt wall of the main body and the tamper shrimp are further connected to each other. A synthetic resin container lid is provided with a non-breakable connecting piece that connects to the dent hem and allows upward movement of the main body with respect to the tamper-evident hem,
The locking piece in the angular region where the projecting piece exists is located between the locking jaw part of the mouth and neck part and the projecting piece when the plurality of broken bridging parts are broken. and an extending appendage extending upwardly beyond the locking jaw, and at least an outer surface of a portion of the extending appendage extending upwardly beyond the locking jaw has an upward radius. A synthetic resin container lid is provided, which is characterized in that it is inclined inward.

好ましくは、該延出付加部における該係止あご部を越えて上方に延びる部分の内側面は上方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜している。この場合には、該延出付加部における該係止あご部を越えて上方に延びる部分の内側面は該係止あご部の上面に沿って延びているのがよい。少なくとも該突出片が存在する角度領域の該係止片の先端には上方に延びる延出部が形成されており、該延出付加部は、該突出片が存在する角度領域に形成された該延出部の先端に形成されているのが好ましい。好適には、該係止片の内側面には、該口頸部に合成樹脂製容器蓋を装着した状態において該係止あご部の下方において半径方向内方に突出する係止突起が形成されている。 Preferably, the inner surface of the portion of the extension appendage extending upwardly beyond the locking jaw is sloped radially inwardly toward the top. In this case, the inner surface of the portion of the extended extension extending upwardly beyond the locking jaw preferably extends along the upper surface of the locking jaw. An extending portion extending upward is formed at the tip of the locking piece at least in the angular region where the protruding piece exists, and the extending portion is formed in the angular region where the protruding piece exists. Preferably, it is formed at the tip of the extension. Preferably, the inner surface of the locking piece is formed with a locking protrusion that projects radially inward below the locking jaw when the synthetic resin container lid is attached to the mouth and neck. ing.

本発明の容器蓋においては、突出片が存在する角度領域の係止片には延出付加部が形成されており、延出付加部は複数個の破断橋絡部が破断された状態において口頸部の係止あご部と突出片との間に位置し且つ係止あご部を越えて上方に延びていることから、複数個の破断橋絡部が破断された状態で本体が口頸部に対して繰り返し旋回せしめられても、突出片が存在する角度領域の係止片が係止あご部の下側に潜り込むことは防止され、それ故に、突出片の先端部が一旦係止あご部の上側になった後に偶発的に突出片の先端部が係止あご部の下側に戻ってしまうことがより一層確実に防止されることとなる。本発明の容器蓋にあっては更に、延出付加部における係止あご部を越えて上方に延びる部分の少なくとも外側面は上方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜していることに起因して、本体が所要開位置から口頸部に接近する方向に旋回される際に、突出片の先端部が係止片に干渉して旋回不能となることが回避される。 In the container lid of the present invention, an extending additional portion is formed on the locking piece in the angular region where the protruding piece is present, and the extending additional portion has an opening when the plurality of broken bridging portions are broken. Since it is located between the locking jaw part of the neck and the protruding piece and extends upward beyond the locking jaw part, the main body is in the state where the plurality of broken bridging parts are broken. Even if the locking piece is repeatedly rotated against the locking jaw, the locking piece in the angular region where the protruding piece is present is prevented from slipping under the locking jaw. This will more reliably prevent the tip of the protruding piece from accidentally returning to the lower side of the locking jaw after being placed on the upper side. Further, in the container lid of the present invention, at least the outer surface of the portion of the extension portion extending upwardly beyond the locking jaw portion is inclined upwardly and radially inwardly. This prevents the distal end of the projecting piece from interfering with the locking piece and making it impossible to turn when the main body is turned from the required open position in a direction approaching the mouth and neck.

係止片24a乃至24iの各々の先端の周方向両側部には上方に延出する矩形状の延出部26が形成されている。図2及び図3と共に図8を参照することによって明確に理解されるとおり、延出部26の各々の半径方向外側面は、上方に向かって漸次半径方向外側に突出し、次いで上方に向かって漸次半径方向内方に後退している。そして更に、上方に向かって漸次半径方向外側に突出する部位26aは縦断面図において円弧状であり(以下、円弧状の部位26a)、上方に向かって漸次半径方向内側に後退する部位26bは、縦断面図において直線状である(以下、直線状の部位26b)。延出部26の各々の半径方向内側面は平坦な面である。係止片24a乃至24iの各々の主部、即ち延出部26以外の部位の半径方向内側面には、半径方向内側に突出する係止突起28が形成されている。かかる係止突起28は上方に向かって漸次突出量が増大し、上面は実質上水平に延在する。係止突起28の各々は係止片24a乃至24iの各々における周方向中央部、即ち上記延出部26が存在しない部分に形成されている。所望ならば、係止片24a乃至24iの各々の周方向全体に渡って係止突起28を形成することもできる。係止片24a及び24iの各々における延出部26の片側部(係止片24aにおいては図3において左側部、係止片24iにおいては図3において右側部)には夫々延出付加部50が形成されている。延出付加部50については後に言及する。 A rectangular extending portion 26 extending upward is formed on both sides in the circumferential direction of the tip of each of the locking pieces 24a to 24i. As will be clearly understood by referring to FIG. 8 in conjunction with FIGS. 2 and 3, the radially outer surface of each of the extensions 26 projects progressively radially outwardly in an upward direction; Retracted radially inward. Furthermore, the portion 26a that gradually protrudes outward in the radial direction toward the top is arc-shaped in a longitudinal cross-sectional view (hereinafter referred to as the arc-shaped portion 26a), and the portion 26b that gradually retreats inward in the radial direction toward the top is It is linear in a longitudinal cross-sectional view (hereinafter referred to as a linear portion 26b). The radially inner surface of each of the extensions 26 is a flat surface. A locking protrusion 28 that projects radially inward is formed on the radially inner surface of the main portion of each of the locking pieces 24a to 24i, that is, at a portion other than the extension portion 26. The protrusion amount of the locking protrusion 28 gradually increases upward, and the upper surface thereof extends substantially horizontally. Each of the locking protrusions 28 is formed in the circumferential center of each of the locking pieces 24a to 24i, that is, in a portion where the extending portion 26 does not exist. If desired, the locking protrusion 28 can be formed over the entire circumferential direction of each of the locking pieces 24a to 24i. Each of the locking pieces 24a and 24i has an extending portion 50 on one side (the left side in FIG. 3 for the locking piece 24a and the right side in FIG. 3 for the locking piece 24i). It is formed. The extended extension portion 50 will be mentioned later.

図1乃至図3を参照して説明を続けると、番号30で示す特定領域において、本体4のスカート壁10の下端縁は他の領域の下端縁よりも上方に変位せしめられており、またタンパーエビデント裾部6の上端縁は他の領域の上端縁よりも下方に変位せしめられており、スカート壁10とタンパーエビデント裾部6との間には正面図において横長に延びる開口32が生成されている。開口32の周方向中央部において、スカート壁10にはその下端から下方に突出する略矩形状の突出片34が形成されている。図1と共に図8を参照することによって明確に理解される如く、突出片34は実質上垂直に垂下している。突出片34に対応して、タンパーエビデント裾部6には突出片34の突出端部を受け入れる、上方に開放した切欠36が形成されている。 Continuing the explanation with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, in a specific area indicated by numeral 30, the lower edge of the skirt wall 10 of the main body 4 is displaced upwardly than the lower edge of other areas, and is also tampered with. The upper edge of the evident hem 6 is displaced lower than the upper edges of other regions, and an opening 32 that extends horizontally in the front view is created between the skirt wall 10 and the tamper evident hem 6. has been done. At the circumferential center of the opening 32, the skirt wall 10 is formed with a substantially rectangular projecting piece 34 that projects downward from its lower end. As can be clearly seen by referring to FIG. 8 in conjunction with FIG. 1, the protruding pieces 34 depend substantially vertically. Corresponding to the protruding piece 34, the tamper-evident hem 6 is formed with an upwardly open notch 36 that receives the protruding end of the protruding piece 34.

図1に明確に図示するとおり、上記特定領域30においては、上記突出片34に隣接してその周方向両側に一対の非破断接続片38a及び38bが配設されている。図示の実施形態における非破断接続片38aは、スカート壁10の下端縁に接続された上端部40a、この上端部40aに続いて周方向片側(図1において右側)に実質上水平に延びる第一の傾動部42a、中間部44a、中間部44aに続いて第一の傾動部42aの下方を周方向他側(図1において左側)に実質上水平に延びてタンパーエビデント裾部6に接続されている第二の傾動部46aから構成されている。非破断接続片38bも、スカート壁10の下端縁に接続された上端部40b、この上端部40bに続いて周方向他側(図1において左側)に実質上水平に延びる第一の傾動部42b、中間部44b、中間部44bに続いて第一の傾動部42bの下方を周方向片側(図1において右側)に実質上水平に延びてタンパーエビデント裾部6に接続されている第二の傾動部46bから構成されている。所望ならば、非破断接続片38aにおける第一の傾動部42a及び第二の傾動部46a並びに非破断接続片38bにおける第一の傾動部42b及び第二の傾動部46bを実質上水平ではなく所定方向に傾斜せしめることもできる。図1を参照することによって明確に理解される如く、非破断接続片38aと非破断接続片38bとは線対称ではなく構成要素の周方向寸法が幾分相違せしめられている(この理由については上記特許文献2の記載を参照されたい)。 As clearly shown in FIG. 1, in the specific region 30, a pair of unbreakable connecting pieces 38a and 38b are provided adjacent to the protruding piece 34 on both sides in the circumferential direction. The unbreakable connecting piece 38a in the illustrated embodiment includes an upper end 40a connected to the lower edge of the skirt wall 10, and a first extending substantially horizontally to one side in the circumferential direction (right side in FIG. 1) following the upper end 40a. The tilting part 42a, the intermediate part 44a, and the intermediate part 44a extend below the first tilting part 42a substantially horizontally to the other side in the circumferential direction (the left side in FIG. 1) and are connected to the tamper-evident hem 6. It is composed of a second tilting section 46a. The non-breakable connection piece 38b also has an upper end portion 40b connected to the lower edge of the skirt wall 10, and a first tilting portion 42b that extends substantially horizontally to the other side in the circumferential direction (the left side in FIG. 1) following the upper end portion 40b. , an intermediate part 44b, and a second part which, following the intermediate part 44b, extends substantially horizontally below the first tilting part 42b in the circumferential direction (on the right side in FIG. 1) and is connected to the tamper-evident hem part 6. It is composed of a tilting portion 46b. If desired, the first tilting portion 42a and the second tilting portion 46a of the non-breakable connecting piece 38a and the first tilting portion 42b and the second tilting portion 46b of the non-breaking connecting piece 38b may be arranged in a predetermined position rather than substantially horizontally. It can also be tilted in the direction. As can be clearly understood by referring to FIG. 1, the non-breakable connection piece 38a and the non-breakable connection piece 38b are not line symmetrical, and the circumferential dimensions of the components are somewhat different (the reason for this is explained below). Please refer to the description in Patent Document 2 above).

番号30で示す特定領域即ち突出片34並びに一対の非破断接続片38a及び38bが存在する領域以外の領域においては、タンパーエビデント裾部6を本体4のスカート壁10の下端に接続する破断橋絡部48が周方向に間隔をおいて複数個配設されている。図示の実施形態においては、スカート壁10の内面及びタンパーエビデント裾部6の内面に渡って軸線方向に延びる幅狭突条が周方向に間隔をおいて複数個形成されており、かかる幅狭突条におけるスカート壁10とタンパーエビデント裾部6との間に位置する部分が破断橋絡部48を構成している(図2を参照されたい)。所望ならば、一対の非破断接続片38a及び38bが存在する領域においても、例えば第一の傾動部42a及び42bとスカート壁10との間或いは第二の傾動部46a及び46bとタンパーエビデント裾部6との間に或いは突出片34とタンパーエビデント裾部6との間に破断橋絡部を配設することもできる。 In the specific area indicated by numeral 30, that is, in areas other than the area where the protruding piece 34 and the pair of non-breakable connection pieces 38a and 38b are present, there is a breakable bridge connecting the tamper-evident hem 6 to the lower end of the skirt wall 10 of the main body 4. A plurality of connecting portions 48 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of narrow protrusions extending in the axial direction across the inner surface of the skirt wall 10 and the inner surface of the tamper-evident hem 6 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. A portion of the protrusion located between the skirt wall 10 and the tamper-evident hem 6 constitutes a fracture bridging portion 48 (see FIG. 2). If desired, also in the area where the pair of non-breakable connecting pieces 38a and 38b are present, for example between the first tilting parts 42a and 42b and the skirt wall 10 or between the second tilting parts 46a and 46b and the tamper-evident hem. 6 or between the protruding piece 34 and the tamper-evident hem 6.

本発明に従って構成された容器蓋2においては、突出片34が存在する角度領域の係止片24a及び24iには上方に延びる延出付加部50が形成されていることが重要である。図3及び図4に示されているとおり、図示の実施形態においては、延出付加部50は矩形状片であって、係止片24a及び24iの延出部26の片側部(係止片24aにおいては図3において左側の延出部26、係止片24iにおいては図3において右側の延出部26)の先端から上方に延出している。従って、延出付加部50は周方向に隣接して2つ配置されている。図4及び図8に示すとおり、延出付加部50は延出部26の先端から上方に直線状に僅かに延出した後、半径方向内方に傾斜して直線状に延出している。 In the container lid 2 constructed in accordance with the present invention, it is important that the locking pieces 24a and 24i in the angular region where the protruding piece 34 is present are provided with an upwardly extending extension portion 50. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the illustrated embodiment, the extended extension portion 50 is a rectangular piece, and one side of the extension portion 26 of the locking pieces 24a and 24i (locking piece 24a extends upward from the tip of the left extending portion 26 in FIG. 3, and the locking piece 24i extends upward from the tip of the right extending portion 26 in FIG. Therefore, two extending additional portions 50 are arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the extending portion 50 extends slightly upward in a straight line from the tip of the extending portion 26, and then inclines inward in the radial direction and extends linearly.

図4には、容器蓋2と共に容器の口頸部52も図示されている。ポリエチレンテレフタレートの如き適宜の合成樹脂或いはガラスから形成することができる容器の口頸部52は全体として円筒形状であり、その上面は開口されている。口頸部52の外周面には、雄螺条54とこの雄螺条54の下方に位置する係止あご部56が形成されている。 FIG. 4 also shows the container lid 2 as well as the mouth and neck 52 of the container. The mouth and neck portion 52 of the container, which can be formed from a suitable synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate or glass, is generally cylindrical in shape and has an open top surface. A male thread 54 and a locking jaw portion 56 located below the male thread 54 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck portion 52 .

口頸部52に容器蓋2を装着して口頸部52を密封する際には、口頸部52に容器蓋2を被嵌して閉方向(図4において上方から見て時計方向)に回転せしめ、口頸部52の雄螺条54に容器蓋2の雌螺条18を螺合せしめる。雄螺条54に対する雌螺条18の螺合の進行に応じて容器蓋2は口頸部52に対して漸次下降する。図4に図示する状態まで口頸部52に対して容器蓋2が下降せしめられると、容器蓋2の本体4における天面壁8の内面に形成されている内側環状突条12及び外側環状突条14が夫々口頸部52の内周面及び外周面に密接せしめられ、これによって口頸部52が密封される。容器蓋2のタンパーエビデント裾部6の内周面に配設されている係止片24a乃至24iの各々における主部即ち延出部26(及び延出付加部50)以外の部分は、弾性的に変形して口頸部52の係止あご部56よりも下方に位置し、半径方向内側面に形成されている係止突起28の上面は係止あご部56の下面に対向して位置する。そして、係止片24a及び24iの各々における延出部26の片側部(係止片24aにおいては図3において左側部、係止片24iにおいては図3において右側部)は、突出片34と口頸部52の係止あご部56との間に位置し、突出片34の内側面と係止あご部56の外周面との間に位置している。一方、係止片24a乃至24iの各々における延出部26のうち、上記した係止片24a及び24iの各々における延出部26の片側部(係止片24aにおいては図3において左側部、係止片24iにおいては図3において右側部)を除く延出部26は、タンパーエビデント裾部6と口頸部52の係止あご部56との間に位置し、タンパーエビデント裾部6の内周面と係止あご部56の外周面との間に位置している。 When attaching the container lid 2 to the mouth and neck part 52 to seal the mouth and neck part 52, the container lid 2 is fitted onto the mouth and neck part 52 and moved in the closing direction (clockwise when viewed from above in FIG. 4). Rotate it so that the female thread 18 of the container lid 2 is screwed into the male thread 54 of the mouth and neck part 52. As the female thread 18 is screwed into the male thread 54, the container lid 2 gradually descends relative to the mouth and neck portion 52. When the container lid 2 is lowered relative to the mouth and neck part 52 to the state shown in FIG. 14 are brought into close contact with the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the mouth and neck portion 52, respectively, thereby sealing the mouth and neck portion 52. The main portion of each of the locking pieces 24a to 24i provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tamper-evident hem 6 of the container lid 2, that is, the portion other than the extension portion 26 (and the extension addition portion 50) is made of elastic material. The upper surface of the locking protrusion 28 formed on the radially inner surface is positioned below the locking jaw 56 of the mouth and neck portion 52 due to the deformation. do. One side of the extending portion 26 of each of the locking pieces 24a and 24i (the left side in FIG. 3 for the locking piece 24a and the right side in FIG. 3 for the locking piece 24i) is connected to the protruding piece 34 and the opening. It is located between the locking jaw portion 56 of the neck portion 52 and between the inner surface of the protruding piece 34 and the outer peripheral surface of the locking jaw portion 56. On the other hand, among the extending portions 26 of each of the locking pieces 24a to 24i, one side of the extending portion 26 of each of the locking pieces 24a and 24i described above (for the locking piece 24a, the left side in FIG. In the stopper piece 24i, the extending portion 26 excluding the right side in FIG. It is located between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the locking jaw portion 56.

口頸部52を開封する際には、容器蓋2を開方向(図4において上方から見て反時計方向)に回転せしめ、口頸部52の雄螺条54に対する容器蓋2の雌螺条18の螺合を漸次解除する。螺合を漸次解除すると容器蓋2の本体4は開方向に回転せしめられると共に上昇せしめられるが、タンパーエビデント裾部6は係止片24a乃至24iの係止突起28の上面が口頸部52の係止あご部56の下面に係止して上昇が阻止され、これに起因して破断橋絡部48に相当な応力が生成され、破断橋絡部48が破断され、タンパーエビデント裾部6は若干降下する。 When opening the neck part 52, the container lid 2 is rotated in the opening direction (counterclockwise when viewed from above in FIG. 4), and the female thread of the container lid 2 is aligned with the male thread 54 of the mouth neck part 52. 18 is gradually released. When the screws are gradually released, the main body 4 of the container lid 2 is rotated in the opening direction and raised. is locked against the lower surface of the locking jaw 56 and prevented from rising, which generates considerable stress on the break bridge 48, causing the break bridge 48 to break and cause the tamper-evident hem to rupture. 6 is slightly lower.

しかる後においては、容器蓋2の本体4は開方向への回転と共に上昇し、タンパーエビデント裾部6から上方に漸次離間せしめられる。図1と図5とを比較参照することによって明確に理解される如く、タンパーエビデント裾部6から本体4が漸次上方に離間せしめられると、非破断接続片38aの第一の傾動部42a及び非破断接続片38bの第二の傾動部46bは夫々の中間部44a及び第二の傾動部46bの下端を中心として図1及び図5において時計方向に旋回、即ち時計方向に傾動され、一方非破断接続片38aの第二の傾動部46a及び非破断接続片38bの第一の傾動部42bは夫々の下端及び中間部44bを中心として図1及び図5において反時計方向に旋回、即ち反時計方向に傾動され、これに応じて非破断接続片38a及び38bにおける第一の傾動部42a及び42b並びに第二の傾動部46a及び46bの鉛直線に対する傾斜角度が漸次低減される。口頸部52の雄螺条54に対する容器蓋2の雌螺条18の螺合が完全に解除されると、容器蓋2の本体4は口頸部52から離脱される。しかしながら、本体4は非破断接続片38a及び38bを介して、口頸部52に装着され続けているタンパーエビデント裾部6に接続され続けている故に、容器の口頸部52から離間されることはない。 Thereafter, the main body 4 of the container lid 2 rises as it rotates in the opening direction, and is gradually separated upward from the tamper-evident hem 6. As will be clearly understood by comparing and referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. The second tilting portion 46b of the unbreakable connecting piece 38b is pivoted clockwise in FIGS. 1 and 5 about the lower ends of the intermediate portion 44a and the second tilting portion 46b, respectively, while being tilted clockwise. The second tilting portion 46a of the breakable connecting piece 38a and the first tilting portion 42b of the non-breakable connecting piece 38b pivot counterclockwise in FIGS. 1 and 5 about their respective lower ends and intermediate portions 44b, i.e. Correspondingly, the angle of inclination of the first tilting portions 42a and 42b and the second tilting portions 46a and 46b of the non-breakable connecting pieces 38a and 38b with respect to the vertical line is gradually reduced. When the female thread 18 of the container lid 2 is completely unthreaded from the male thread 54 of the mouth and neck portion 52, the main body 4 of the container lid 2 is removed from the mouth and neck portion 52. However, the main body 4 remains connected to the tamper-evident skirt 6, which continues to be attached to the mouth and neck 52, via the non-breakable connecting pieces 38a and 38b, and is therefore spaced apart from the mouth and neck 52 of the container. Never.

容器蓋2の本体4が口頸部52から離脱された後においては、非破断接続片38a及び38bの中間部44a及び44bを旋回支点として本体4を口頸部52から遠ざかる方向(図6において時計方向)に旋回する。この際、図6に示すとおり、突出片34は、その延出端が係止片24a及び24iの片側部(係止片24aにおいては図3において左側部、係止片24iにおいては図3において右側部)に当接し、弾性的に変形して係止片24a及び24iの外側面に沿って上昇し、次いで係止片24a及び24iの延出部26の片側部(係止片24aにおいては図3において左側の延出部26、係止片24iにおいては図3において右側の延出部26)の外側面における円弧状の部位26aに沿って上昇する。しかる後に、突出片34は延出部26の円弧状の部位26aを乗り越え、図7及び図8に図示する如く、弾性的に復元して外側面が延出部26の直線状の部位26b及び延出付加部50に当接せしめられる。かくして容器蓋2の本体4は図7及び図8に図示する開位置に確実に保持される。また、突出片34が延出部26の円弧状の部位26aを乗り越えて弾性的に復元される際には音が生成される。 After the main body 4 of the container lid 2 is separated from the mouth and neck part 52, the main body 4 is moved in a direction away from the mouth and neck part 52 (in FIG. (clockwise). At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the projecting piece 34 has its extending end on one side of the locking pieces 24a and 24i (the left side in FIG. 3 for the locking piece 24a, and the left side in FIG. 3 for the locking piece 24i). The right side) is elastically deformed and rises along the outer surface of the locking pieces 24a and 24i, and then one side of the extending portion 26 of the locking pieces 24a and 24i (on the locking piece 24a) In FIG. 3, the left extension 26 and the locking piece 24i rise along an arcuate portion 26a on the outer surface of the right extension 26 in FIG. After that, the protruding piece 34 climbs over the arcuate portion 26a of the extending portion 26, and as shown in FIGS. The extension portion 50 is brought into contact with the extension portion 50 . The body 4 of the container lid 2 is thus securely held in the open position shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Moreover, when the protruding piece 34 overcomes the arcuate portion 26a of the extending portion 26 and is elastically restored, a sound is generated.

内容物の飲食を途中で中断した場合には、図7に図示する位置に保持されている本体4を口頸部52に接近する方向(図6及び図7において反時計方向)に強制的に旋回せしめて再び口頸部52に被嵌する。その際、本発明に従って構成された容器蓋2にあっては、延出付加部50における係止あご部56を越えて上方に延びる部分の少なくとも外側面は上方に向かって半径方向内方に傾斜していることに起因して、本体4が所要開位置から口頸部52に接近する方向に旋回される際に、突出片34の先端部が係止片24a及び24iに干渉して旋回不能になることが回避される。そして容器蓋2を閉方向に回転せしめて口頸部52の雄螺条54に容器蓋2の雌螺条18を螺合せしめ、かくして容器蓋2を再び図4に図示する状態に位置せしめ、口頸部52を仮密封することができる。 When eating or drinking the contents is interrupted midway, the main body 4 held in the position shown in FIG. 7 is forcibly moved in the direction approaching the mouth and neck 52 (counterclockwise in FIGS. It is rotated and fitted into the mouth and neck part 52 again. In this case, in the container lid 2 constructed according to the present invention, at least the outer surface of the portion of the extension extension 50 that extends upward beyond the locking jaw 56 is inclined upwardly and radially inward. Due to this, when the main body 4 is turned from the required open position in a direction approaching the mouth and neck part 52, the tip of the protruding piece 34 interferes with the locking pieces 24a and 24i, making it impossible to turn. This is avoided. Then, the container lid 2 is rotated in the closing direction, and the female thread 18 of the container lid 2 is screwed into the male thread 54 of the mouth and neck part 52, and the container lid 2 is thus positioned again in the state shown in FIG. 4. The mouth and neck region 52 can be temporarily sealed.

本発明に従って構成された容器蓋2においては、突出片34が存在する角度領域の係止片24a及び24iには延出付加部50が形成されており、延出付加部50は複数個の破断橋絡部48が破断された状態において口頸部52の係止あご部56と突出片34との間に位置し且つ係止あご部56を越えて上方に延びていることから、複数個の破断橋絡部48が破断された状態で本体4が口頸部52に対して繰り返し旋回せしめられても、突出片34が存在する角度領域の係止片24a及び24iが係止あご部56の下側に潜り込むことは防止され、それ故に、突出片34の先端部が一旦係止あご部56の上側になった後に偶発的に突出片34の先端部が係止あご部56の下側に戻ってしまうことがより一層確実に防止されることとなる。図示の実施形態においては、延出付加部50における係止あご部56を超えて上方に延びる部分の内側面は上方に向かって半径方向内方に、さらに詳しくは、係止あご部56の上面に沿って傾斜して延び、この内側面が係止あご部56に当接することから、係止片24a及び24iが係止あご部56の下側に潜り込むことはより一層確実に防止される。 In the container lid 2 constructed in accordance with the present invention, an extended additional portion 50 is formed on the locking pieces 24a and 24i in the angular region where the protruding piece 34 is present, and the extended additional portion 50 has a plurality of broken parts. Since the bridging portion 48 is located between the locking jaw portion 56 of the mouth and neck portion 52 and the protruding piece 34 in the broken state and extends upward beyond the locking jaw portion 56, a plurality of Even if the main body 4 is repeatedly rotated with respect to the mouth and neck part 52 with the broken bridging part 48 broken, the locking pieces 24a and 24i in the angular region where the protruding piece 34 exists will not hold the locking jaw part 56. This prevents the tip of the protruding piece 34 from slipping under the locking jaw 56. Therefore, if the tip of the protruding piece 34 accidentally falls under the locking jaw 56 after the tip of the protruding piece 34 is on the upper side of the locking jaw 56. This will more reliably prevent it from returning. In the illustrated embodiment, the inner surface of the portion of the extension extension 50 that extends upwardly beyond the locking jaw 56 is directed upwardly and radially inwardly, and more particularly, the upper surface of the locking jaw 56. Since the inner surface contacts the locking jaw 56, the locking pieces 24a and 24i are more reliably prevented from slipping under the locking jaw 56.

以上、添付図面を参照して本発明に従って構成された容器蓋の好適実施形態について詳細に説明したが、本発明はかかる実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の範囲を逸脱することなく種々の変形乃至修正が可能であることは多言を要しない。例えば、図示の実施形態においては、突出片34は単一片から構成されているが、複数個の片から突出片を構成することもでき、また単一片の突出端(下端)から基端(上端)に向かって延びる1個又は複数個のスリットを形成して複数個の部分に分割することもできる。また、図示の実施形態においては、突出片34の周方向両側に位置する2個の非破断接続片38a及び38bが配設されているが、1個或いは3個以上の被破断接続片を配設することもできる。 Although the preferred embodiments of the container lid constructed according to the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments and does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
