BACKGROUND ART As is well known to those skilled in the art, metal lids made from thin metal sheets such as aluminum-based alloys have recently been used as container lids with pilfer-proof properties for containers such as food and beverage bottles. In place of the container lid, a synthetic resin container lid made of a suitable synthetic resin material such as polyethylene or polypropylene has been proposed.

The skirt wall is formed with a weakened line consisting of a plurality of slits extending in the circumferential direction at intervals in the circumferential direction and a plurality of bridge sections located between these slits, and the skirt wall has a weakened line formed in the skirt wall. It is divided into a main portion located above the weakening line and a pilfer-proof hem portion located below the weakening line. Furthermore, a female thread is formed on the inner surface of the main portion. In the container lid described above, the female thread is screwed into the male thread formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mouth and neck of the container, and after being screwed together, the pilfer-proof hem is heated and heated in the circumferential direction. By being deflated, it is attached to the mouth and neck of the container lid in the required hole.

Therefore, when molding the above-mentioned synthetic resin container lid, it is necessary to mold the container lid in the same manner as in the case of ordinary synthetic resin container lids that do not have the weakened line, that is, do not have pilfer-proof properties. A male mold assembly defining an inner surface and a female mold assembly defining an outer surface of the container lid are used, and a synthetic resin material is compressed between the male mold assembly and the female mold assembly. intended. However, in the compression molding of the synthetic resin container lid, there is the following problem that must be solved due to the weakened line.

That is, since the cross-section of the space for the bridge defined by the cooperation of the male and female assemblies is small, the synthetic resin material passes through this space during compression molding. The annular space for the pilfer-proof hem, which is defined by the cooperation of the mold assembly and the female mold assembly and which follows the above-mentioned space, is not filled sufficiently, and the required throughput is therefore reduced. A problem arises in that it is not possible to form a pilfer-proof hem.

In order to solve this problem, the cross section of the space for the bridge section described above may be made larger. However, if it is hidden, the strength of the bridging part is large, and a considerable amount of force is required to break the bridging part when separating the container lid from the mouth and neck of the container. It becomes impossible or extremely difficult for a young person to remove the container lid.

Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, it would be possible to partially cut off a part of the bridge after forming the container lid, but this would require a cutting device for cutting, and the forming A cutting process is required after the process, which increases manufacturing costs and reduces manufacturing efficiency.

On the other hand, as a method for molding a synthetic resin container lid, a male assembly that defines the inner surface of the container lid and a female assembly that defines the outer surface of the container lid are used. A molding method has also been proposed in which the synthetic resin material is compressed between a solid body and at least a portion of the female mold assembly is moved relative to the male mold assembly during the compression.

However, when the synthetic resin container lid is molded by the method described above, the pilfer-proof hem is heated and heat-shrinked after molding, so the following problem must be solved. A problem arises. In the above method, as is easily understood, as the female mold assembly moves, the synthetic resin material flows from the top wall side of the container lid toward the pilfer-proof bottom side, and the bridge portion is Therefore, within the annular space, there is almost no flow in the circumferential direction and an axial flow (i.e., the flow from the top wall side to the annular space for the pilfer-proof hem). (direction toward the hem of the proof) is the main direction. It is generally known that in synthetic resin materials, when resin flows during compression molding, molecular orientation occurs in the direction of the flow, and when heated after molding, thermal contraction occurs in the direction of the molecular orientation. However, in a synthetic resin container lid that is compression molded by the method described above, when the pilfer-proof hem is heated and heat-shrinked after molding, the flow of resin is mainly axial at the pilfer-proof hem. Because of this, there is heat shrinkage in the axial direction, but almost no heat shrinkage in the circumferential direction. After the container lid is screwed onto the neck of the container, the pilfer-proof hem is heated, and the resulting heat shrinkage engages the lower surface of the locking jaw formed on the outer circumferential surface of the neck of the container. However, as mentioned above, if the heat shrinkage in the circumferential direction of the hem of the pilfur-proof is small, the attachment of the hem of the pilfur-proof to the above-mentioned locking jaws will be insufficient, and therefore a weakened line will occur. There is a risk that the container lid will be separated from the mouth and neck of the container without the bridging portion being broken, and the pilfer-proof property will be impaired.

<Summary of the Invention> As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have discovered that a synthetic resin material is injected into an annular space for a pilfer-proof hem defined by cooperation between a female assembly and a male assembly. If a resin flow path is provided to allow the synthetic resin material to flow into the annular space during compression molding, prior to molding the main part of the container lid, the synthetic resin material will flow into the annular space. flows in the circumferential direction and its molecular orientation is mainly in the circumferential direction, and when this pilfer-proof part is heated after compression molding, it undergoes a relatively large heat shrinkage in the circumferential direction.
In this way, it has been found that the pilfer-proof hem can be reliably engaged with the locking mark formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck of the container.
