Description

本発明は中蓋と外蓋とを具えた容器における中蓋の脱着構造並びにこれを具えた容器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an inner lid detaching structure in a container having an inner lid and an outer lid, and a container having the same.

内容物の厳格な保護のため、密閉性を高めるべく容器の開口部を栓状に塞ぐ中蓋と、これに外被せ状態に設けられる外蓋とを併せ具えた容器が用いられている。このような容器にあっては、中蓋は極めて密に開口部に栓状に嵌まり込んでおり、このため、中蓋の取り外し、嵌め込みの操作は経験的にも極めて行いづらい。結果的に中蓋の脱着作業の都度、内容物の飛散等も招き易い。加えて内容物が液体の場合、取り外した中蓋は多くは底部に内容物を付着させており、上下逆の姿勢として作業場所近くに置かねばならず、実際には置いておくための適切な場所を見出すことが煩わしかったり、また上下逆に置く操作自体も手に内容物を付着させないように気を付けながら行うため比較的面倒な作業となっている。   In order to strictly protect the contents, a container is used which is provided with an inner lid that closes the opening of the container in a plug shape to enhance the sealing property, and an outer lid that is provided in a covering state. In such a container, the inner lid is very tightly fitted into the opening in the form of a plug, and therefore, the operation of removing and fitting the inner lid is extremely difficult to experience. As a result, the contents are likely to be scattered every time the inner lid is removed. In addition, if the contents are liquid, the removed inner lid often has the contents attached to the bottom and must be placed upside down in the upside down position near the work area, and in practice is suitable for placement. Finding a place is troublesome, and the operation of placing it upside down is relatively troublesome because it is performed while taking care not to attach the contents to the hand.

このようなことから本発明者はすでに特許第4134105号「中蓋の脱着構造」を案出し、その解決手法を開示している。この発明は、中蓋の上部の窪み部上縁に内側に庇状に張り出す係合突片を設け、一方、外蓋にはその上部に中蓋の窪み部に嵌まり込むことができる脱着操作部を形成し、その周面に中蓋の係合突片とバヨネット係合状態を得る係合凹溝を設けたものである。そして両者の係合状態を現出させた上、外蓋を取り外し用ハンドツール様に操作し、中蓋に直接手を触れることなく、これを開口部からコジリ出すようにしたものである。   For this reason, the present inventor has already devised Japanese Patent No. 4134105 “Internal Lid Desorption Structure” and disclosed a solution to the problem. The present invention is provided with an engagement protrusion projecting inwardly on the upper edge of the upper recess portion of the inner lid, and on the other hand, the outer lid is detachable so that it can be fitted into the lower portion of the inner lid. An operating portion is formed, and an engaging groove for obtaining a bayonet engaged state is provided on the peripheral surface of the operating projection. Then, the engagement state between the two is revealed, and the outer lid is operated like a hand tool for detachment so that the outer lid is squeezed out from the opening without directly touching the inner lid.

この発明により前記した多くの問題点は解決を見ているが、本発明者は更にその作動の確実性を向上させるための種々の開発や、実際の製品提供にあたっての妥当なコストを得るべく、金型コスト等をも考慮した構成の案出を進めている。その中で妥当な製品コストを実現する形状を求めた場合、一方で中蓋と外蓋との係合操作で不可欠なクリアランスに起因する課題や、中蓋固有の性状、仕様に起因する新たな解決すべき課題を見出した。
具体的には妥当な製品コストを追求すると、前記脱着操作部とバヨネット状に係合する中蓋の係合突片は、対向的に一対2片の形態が金型コストや、射出成型コスト等の面から好ましいが、この形態とすると、前記クリアランスの存在により、中蓋に外蓋の脱着操作部を乱雑に嵌め込む操作をした場合、中蓋の取り外しが円滑にできなかったり、その後の嵌め戻しも円滑にできない場合もあった。加えて中蓋は軟質の樹脂製であり、且つその形状は閉栓作用状態と、取り外した自由状態とでは異なることから、これに起因する作動の不確実さをより厳密に回避することが解決課題として見出された。
Although the present invention has solved many of the problems described above, the present inventor has made various developments to further improve the reliability of the operation, and in order to obtain reasonable costs for actual product provision, We are devising a configuration that takes mold costs into consideration. When a shape that achieves reasonable product costs is sought, on the other hand, problems arising from the indispensable clearance for the engagement between the inner lid and the outer lid, as well as new properties arising from the unique properties and specifications of the inner lid I found a problem to be solved.
Specifically, in pursuit of reasonable product costs, the engagement protrusions of the inner lid that engages with the detachable operation portion in a bayonet shape are opposed to each other in the form of a pair of two pieces, mold costs, injection molding costs, etc. However, with this configuration, when the operation of fitting the outer lid attachment / detachment operation portion into the inner lid is random due to the presence of the clearance, the inner lid cannot be removed smoothly or the subsequent fitting is performed. In some cases, the return could not be made smoothly. In addition, the inner lid is made of soft resin, and its shape is different between the capping action state and the detached free state, so it is a solution to more strictly avoid the operational uncertainty caused by this. Was found as

すなわち当然ながら中蓋が容器開口部にきつく栓状態に嵌められているときには、容器開口部に規制され、正確な寸法形状が現出しており、このような中蓋に作用させる外蓋の脱着操作部はこれに対応した寸法設定がなされているから、先に述べたクリアランスに起因する不確実作動を除けば中蓋の取り外しは確実になし得る。しかしながら一方、開栓されて自由状態となった中蓋は閉栓作用状態に比べ、言わば膨出したような形状となり、且つその剛性も充分ではないから、これに係合していた脱着操作部との係合状態は言わばルーズな状態、すなわちガタツキが増えた状態となっている。この状態のまま再度中蓋を閉栓しようとすると中蓋中芯と外蓋中芯とが合致していないこともあり、中蓋を均等に開口部に宛がうことができず、押込作用が確実にできなかったり、中蓋を押し込んでいる外蓋が中蓋の窪み部へ落ち込んでしまう等の不確実な使用状態となるおそれもあった。因みにこのような問題は前記のとおり、バヨネット状の係合個所を一対2カ所で行う場合に顕在化するが、3カ所以上の係合個所としても生ずる場合もあり、このような場合であっても以下述べる解決手段が有効に機能することは言うまでもない。   That is, of course, when the inner lid is tightly plugged into the container opening, the container opening is restricted and an accurate dimensional shape appears, and the outer lid is attached to and detached from the inner lid. Since the portion is dimensioned corresponding to this, the inner lid can be reliably removed except for the uncertain operation caused by the clearance described above. However, on the other hand, the inner lid that has been opened and opened to a free state has a bulging shape compared to the closing operation state, and its rigidity is not sufficient. In other words, the engaged state is a loose state, that is, a state in which rattling is increased. If you try to close the inner lid again in this state, the inner lid core and the outer lid core may not match, so the inner lid cannot be evenly applied to the opening, and the pushing action will not work. There is also a risk that the use of the inner lid may be uncertain, or the outer lid that is pushing the inner lid may fall into a recessed portion of the inner lid. Incidentally, as described above, such a problem becomes apparent when the bayonet-like engagement points are formed at a pair of two points, but may also occur as three or more engagement points. However, it goes without saying that the solution described below functions effectively.

これら各請求項記載の発明の構成を手段として前記課題の解決が図られる。
まず請求項1記載の発明によれば、特に中蓋の閉栓操作時に外蓋が中蓋の栓本体部を上方から押し込むため、中蓋は栓本体部がほぼ全周にわたって押し込まれることになり、中蓋の確実な嵌め込み(押し込み)が行える。
The above-described problems can be solved by using the configuration of the invention described in each of the claims.
First, according to the first aspect of the invention, particularly when the inner lid is closed, the outer lid pushes the plug main body portion of the inner lid from above. The inner lid can be securely fitted (pressed).

また請求項2記載の発明によれば、係合突片の張出先端部が閉栓時、脱着操作部により下方に押し込まれると、張出先端部が内向かい状に曲げられ、脱着操作部を更に強く掴むように作用する。これによって両者の強固で且つ正確な係合が図られ、結果的に安定した閉栓作業ができる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the protruding tip of the engaging protrusion is pushed downward by the detaching operation portion when the plug is closed, the protruding tip is bent inwardly, In addition, it acts to grab strongly. As a result, a firm and accurate engagement between the two can be achieved, and as a result, a stable capping operation can be performed.

更にまた請求項3または4記載の発明によれば、調芯誘導構造を設けたから、中蓋中芯を外蓋の脱着操作部の中芯と合わせた状態に係合設定でき、確実な両者の係合並びに閉栓作業が達成できる。   Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 3 or 4, since the alignment guiding structure is provided, the inner lid inner core can be set to be engaged with the inner core of the outer lid attaching / detaching operation portion, Engagement and plugging operations can be achieved.

更にまた請求項5記載の発明によれば、外蓋の脱着操作部と中蓋の係合突片との係合個所が対向的に一対2カ所であり、この形状はこれら部材を樹脂成型するにあたっての金型構成が単純化でき、且つ射出成型時の作業性にも優れた形状となっており、結果的に低コストで製品を市場に提供し得る。   Furthermore, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, there are a pair of two engaging portions between the outer lid attaching / detaching operation portion and the inner lid engaging protrusion, and this shape is formed by resin molding these members. The mold configuration can be simplified and the shape is excellent in workability at the time of injection molding, and as a result, the product can be provided to the market at a low cost.

更にまた請求項6記載の発明によれば、脱着操作部の係合凹溝における受入切欠は受入面取りを形成しているものであり、係合突片の張出先端部がその上面を先上がり状に形成していることに因む脱着操作部との係合のしづらさを解消している。   Further, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the receiving notch in the engaging groove of the detaching operation portion forms a receiving chamfer, and the protruding tip of the engaging protruding piece rises upward from the upper surface. This eliminates the difficulty of engaging with the detaching operation portion due to the formation in the shape.

更にまた請求項7記載の発明によれば、係合突片の少なくとも上面を上方に先上がり状に形成すれば、先端の断面形状を尖った状態とすることができ、張出先端部の最先端部で脱着操作部を掴むようになり、両者の係合状態がより確実になる。加えて係合突片の下面も先上がり状に傾斜させるときには、樹脂成型で中蓋を製造する際に金型が抜き易く、生産性の向上、金型構造のシンプル化が図り得る。   Furthermore, according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, if at least the upper surface of the engagement protrusion is formed so as to rise upward, the cross-sectional shape of the tip can be made sharp, and the end of the protruding tip can be made sharp. The attachment / detachment operation part is gripped by the tip part, and the engagement state between the two becomes more reliable. In addition, when the lower surface of the engagement protrusion is also inclined upward, the mold can be easily removed when the inner lid is manufactured by resin molding, and the productivity can be improved and the mold structure can be simplified.

更にまた請求項8記載の発明によれば、上記各効果を具えた容器が得られる。   Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 8, a container having the above effects can be obtained.

本発明の中蓋の脱着構造並びにこれを具えた容器の最良の形態は以下に示すとおりであるが、この形態に対して本発明の技術的思想の範囲内において適宜変更を加えることも可能である。   The best mode of the inner lid attaching / detaching structure of the present invention and the container provided therewith is as follows. However, it is possible to appropriately modify this form within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. is there.

図中符号1は容器であって、この容器は外蓋2と中蓋3とを具え、これらにより厳密な密閉状態が得られる。すなわち、中蓋3については栓状に嵌め込まれて容器1の開口部13を塞ぐとともに、外蓋2はこの中蓋3を覆うように例えば容器1に対し捻じ込まれるような固定手段が採られる   In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container, and this container includes an outer lid 2 and an inner lid 3, and a strictly sealed state is obtained by these. That is, the inner lid 3 is fitted in a plug shape to close the opening 13 of the container 1, and the outer lid 2 is fixed to be screwed into the container 1, for example, so as to cover the inner lid 3.

以下各部材について説明すると、容器1は内容物を実質的に収納する容器本体部11に対し、一例としてその上方に蓋嵌部12を設ける。蓋嵌部12は実質的に開口部13を形成するものであり、比較的短寸の円筒状に形成され、内側が容器本体部11に連通する開口部13となる。そして蓋嵌部12の外周部には外蓋2を一例として捻じ込んで留めるようなオネジ部14が形成される。   Each member will be described below. The container 1 is provided with a lid fitting portion 12 as an example with respect to the container main body 11 that substantially stores the contents. The lid fitting portion 12 substantially forms the opening 13, is formed in a relatively short cylindrical shape, and the inside becomes the opening 13 communicating with the container main body 11. A male screw portion 14 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the lid fitting portion 12 so that the outer lid 2 is screwed and fastened as an example.

次に外蓋2について説明する。外蓋2は図1・図2に示すように前記蓋嵌部12に対し中蓋3を収めて、一例として締め込み取り付けされるような被せ蓋状の部材形状である。まず外蓋2を構成する蓋本体部21の蓋天面部22に対し、その上方に脱着操作部23を具える。なお本明細書で上下の方向については容器1に対し外蓋2、中蓋3を取り付けて、閉鎖状態にした状態における上下方向を言う。因みにこのように上下方向を定義するのは、後述するように外蓋2をハンドツール様に用いて中蓋3を脱着する場合には、外蓋2は蓋としての定常使用時とは逆の上下逆さにして用いられるから、その説明を明確にするためである。更に蓋本体部21の内側にはメネジ部24が設けられ、このメネジ部24は前記容器1におけるオネジ部14と捻じ合わされて外蓋2の固定が図られる。
なお蓋天面部22を構成する部位の内側面を押さえ面部22aとするとともに、その中心側には、後述する上向張出状となる中蓋3における係合突片35の逃げ部22bを形成する。
Next, the outer lid 2 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer lid 2 has a cover-like member shape that houses the inner lid 3 with respect to the lid fitting portion 12 and is fastened and attached as an example. First, with respect to the lid top surface portion 22 of the lid main body portion 21 constituting the outer lid 2, a desorption operation portion 23 is provided above the lid top surface portion 22. In the present specification, the vertical direction refers to the vertical direction in a state in which the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are attached to the container 1 and are closed. Incidentally, the vertical direction is defined in this way when the outer lid 2 is used as a hand tool and the inner lid 3 is detached as described later, and the outer lid 2 is opposite to that during normal use as a lid. This is because it is used upside down, to clarify the explanation. Furthermore, an internal thread portion 24 is provided inside the lid main body portion 21, and the internal thread portion 24 is screwed together with the external thread portion 14 in the container 1 to fix the outer lid 2.
The inner surface of the portion constituting the lid top surface portion 22 is used as a pressing surface portion 22a, and a relief portion 22b of the engaging projection piece 35 of the inner lid 3 having an upward projecting shape described later is formed at the center side thereof. To do.

ここで、閉栓時には、例えば図4(c)に示すように、蓋天面部22の内側面で、容器1に嵌めた中蓋3を押さえるようにするため、当該部位を押さえ面部22aとする。
また、中蓋3を容器1に嵌め込むにあたっては、上述したように外蓋2をハンドツール様に用いるものであり、この際、中蓋3の側周面に立壁状に形成される栓本体部31をほぼ全周にわたって押し込みながら中蓋3を嵌め込む方法と、中蓋3の上部において内向きに張り出し形成される係合突片35を押し込みながら中蓋3を嵌め込む方法とがあり、本明細書では前者を栓本体部押しタイプと称し、後者を突片押しタイプと称する。なお、中蓋3の詳細、特に栓本体部31や係合突片35については後述する。また、特に突片押しタイプの場合には、係合突片35の上方先端が上向張出状に形成されるため、こことの干渉を避けるため、外蓋2は、蓋天面部22の押さえ面部22aに逃げ部22bが形成される。
Here, at the time of closing, for example, as shown in FIG. 4C, in order to press the inner lid 3 fitted to the container 1 on the inner side surface of the lid top surface portion 22, this portion is set as a pressing surface portion 22 a.
Further, when the inner lid 3 is fitted into the container 1, the outer lid 2 is used like a hand tool as described above. At this time, the plug body formed in a standing wall shape on the side peripheral surface of the inner lid 3 There are a method of fitting the inner lid 3 while pushing the part 31 over substantially the entire circumference, and a method of fitting the inner lid 3 while pushing the engaging protrusion 35 formed to project inwardly at the upper part of the inner lid 3. In the present specification, the former is referred to as a stopper main body pushing type, and the latter is referred to as a protruding piece pushing type. Details of the inner lid 3, particularly the plug main body 31 and the engagement protrusion 35 will be described later. In particular, in the case of the projecting piece push type, the upper end of the engaging projecting piece 35 is formed in an upwardly projecting shape. Therefore, in order to avoid interference with the upper end 2, An escape portion 22b is formed on the pressing surface portion 22a.

次に外蓋2の前記脱着操作部23について説明する。このものは外蓋2の蓋天面部22の上面に一体に形成されるものであって、平面視円形の周形状を有し、且つ後述する中蓋3の窪み部33に嵌まり込み可能な形状を有する。この脱着操作部23の外周には係合凹溝25が複数カ所、本実施例では一例として2カ所形成される。この係合凹溝25は全体として見ると、例えば図1(a)に示すように、側面視横L字状の形状を有するものであり、中蓋3の窪み部33への嵌まり込みを案内する受入切欠251と、この受入切欠251と連なって周方向に延びるキャッチ溝252とを具えたものである。なお受入切欠251は、その上方内側における凹壁面231上縁部に、蓋天面部22に向かって受入面取り251aを形成することが好ましい。これによって脱着操作部23と中蓋3との係合操作を円滑に行うことができる。   Next, the attachment / detachment operation portion 23 of the outer lid 2 will be described. This is integrally formed on the upper surface of the lid top surface portion 22 of the outer lid 2, has a circular peripheral shape in plan view, and can be fitted into a recessed portion 33 of the inner lid 3 described later. Has a shape. A plurality of engagement grooves 25 are formed on the outer periphery of the attachment / detachment operation portion 23, and two places are formed as an example in this embodiment. When viewed as a whole, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the engagement groove 25 has a lateral L-shape when viewed from the side, and is fitted into the recess 33 of the inner lid 3. A receiving cutout 251 to be guided and a catch groove 252 extending in the circumferential direction connected to the receiving cutout 251 are provided. In addition, it is preferable that the receiving notch 251 forms the receiving chamfer 251a toward the lid | cover top surface part 22 in the upper edge part of the concave wall surface 231 in the upper inner side. As a result, the engagement operation between the attachment / detachment operation portion 23 and the inner lid 3 can be performed smoothly.

更に周方向に延びるキャッチ溝252の奥部寄りの凹壁面231には外蓋2と中蓋3との係合が図られた際に両者の係合を安定させる隆起部253が設けられている。このようなキャッチ溝252は実質的には外蓋2における脱着操作部23の側周面を削り込んだような状態であり、結果的に相対的にキャッチ溝252で区画される上方には引上リブ254が形成されることとなる。そしてこの引上リブ254はその下面側を引上面254aとするとともに、引上リブ254の受入切欠251側の開放端は一部面取り状にして係合誘導面254bを形成している。なお引上面254aに対向する下方の部位を押込面255とするものであって、前記外蓋2の蓋天面部22の上面より幾分か上方に形成される。
因みに、栓本体部押しタイプの場合には、上述したように中蓋3の栓本体部31を押し込んで中蓋3を容器1に嵌め込むことから、押込面255は、引上面254aよりも大きな径寸法に形成される。
Further, a concave wall surface 231 near the back of the catch groove 252 extending in the circumferential direction is provided with a raised portion 253 that stabilizes the engagement between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 when the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are engaged. . Such a catch groove 252 is substantially in a state in which the side peripheral surface of the attachment / detachment operation portion 23 in the outer lid 2 is scraped, and as a result, the catch groove 252 is pulled upward above the relative section of the catch groove 252. The upper rib 254 will be formed. The pulling rib 254 has a pulling upper surface 254a on its lower surface side, and an open end on the receiving notch 251 side of the pulling rib 254 is partially chamfered to form an engagement guiding surface 254b. A lower portion facing the pulling upper surface 254a is a pushing surface 255, and is formed somewhat above the upper surface of the lid top surface portion 22 of the outer lid 2.
Incidentally, in the case of the plug body portion pushing type, the pushing surface 255 is larger than the pulling surface 254a because the inner lid 3 is fitted into the container 1 by pushing in the plug body portion 31 of the inner lid 3 as described above. It is formed to a radial dimension.

以下、脱着操作部23における係合凹溝25に関連した部位の形状構造について更に詳しく説明する。まず図9に拡大して示すように、係合凹溝25の奥部の壁面となる凹壁面231に対応して、係合凹溝25の開放側の周面を外壁面232とする。この外壁面232は、係合凹溝25を上下に挟んで、その上方(図9では下方)が係合外壁面232aであり、一方、下方は押込外壁面232bを構成する。この部位の形態は、上述したように栓本体部押しタイプと突片押しタイプとの二つのタイプがあり、図9(a)−1・(b)−1に示すものが栓本体部押しタイプであって、図9(a)−2・(b)−2に示すものが突片押しタイプであって、各タイプで脱着操作部23における押込外壁面232bの径方向位置が異なる。すなわち栓本体部押しタイプでは、押込外壁面232bは、栓本体部31の外径(肉厚を含む最外径)位置よりも外側に位置し、突片押しタイプでは、押込外壁面232bは、栓本体部31の内径位置とほぼ同じ、つまり係合外壁面232aとほぼ同じ位置に設定される。
なお押込外壁面232bと押込面255とのコーナ部を押込外縁256とするとともに、押込外縁256と係合凹溝25の凹壁面231との間を凹溝幅25Wとする。なおこれら係合凹溝25の周囲の上記各部位の位置関係は次に述べる中蓋3の形状構造との相対的な関係により決定されるものであって、このことについては、中蓋3を説明した後、両者を組み合わせた状態として説明する。
Hereinafter, the shape structure of the part related to the engagement groove 25 in the attachment / detachment operation unit 23 will be described in more detail. First, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 9, the peripheral surface on the open side of the engaging groove 25 is defined as an outer wall surface 232 corresponding to the recessed wall surface 231 that is the inner wall surface of the engaging groove 25. The outer wall surface 232 sandwiches the engaging groove 25 in the vertical direction, and the upper portion (downward in FIG. 9) is the engaging outer wall surface 232a, while the lower portion constitutes the pushing outer wall surface 232b. As described above, there are two types of this part, the plug body part pushing type and the projecting piece pushing type, as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) -1 and 9 (b) -1 are the plug body part pushing type. And what is shown to FIG. 9 (a) -2 and (b) -2 is a protrusion piece type, and the radial direction position of the pushing outer wall surface 232b in the attachment / detachment operation part 23 differs in each type. In other words, in the plug body portion pushing type, the pushing outer wall surface 232b is located outside the outer diameter (outermost diameter including wall thickness) position of the plug body portion 31, and in the projecting piece pushing type, the pushing outer wall surface 232b is It is set to substantially the same position as the inner diameter position of the plug body 31, that is, approximately the same position as the engaging outer wall surface 232 a.
A corner portion between the outer pressing wall surface 232b and the pressing surface 255 is a pressing outer edge 256, and a space between the pressing outer edge 256 and the concave wall surface 231 of the engaging groove 25 is a groove width 25W. In addition, the positional relationship of each of the above-mentioned portions around the engaging groove 25 is determined by a relative relationship with the shape structure of the inner lid 3 described below. After the description, it will be described as a state where both are combined.

次に中蓋3について説明する。中蓋3は図1・図3に示すように栓本体部31と栓底部32とにより容器1の開口部13を栓状に塞ぐものであり、栓本体部31は栓底部32に至る上方内側に窪み部33を具えている。この窪み部33に対し、前記外蓋2の脱着操作部23が内嵌め状態に組み付けられて後述するような作用で中蓋3の脱着を行う。この栓本体部31はその円周部に断面視外向き状のフランジ部34を具えるとともに、窪み部33の内側に向かって張り出す係合突片35が2片〜4片程度、複数片形成される。   Next, the inner lid 3 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the inner lid 3 closes the opening 13 of the container 1 in a plug shape by a plug main body 31 and a plug bottom 32, and the plug main body 31 is located on the upper inner side reaching the plug bottom 32. A recess 33 is provided. The detachment operation part 23 of the outer lid 2 is assembled in the recessed portion 33 in an internally fitted state, and the inner lid 3 is detached by the action described later. The stopper main body 31 includes a flange 34 that is outward in cross section in the circumferential portion thereof, and a plurality of engagement protrusions 35 that project toward the inner side of the recess 33, such as two to four pieces. It is formed.

この係合突片35について更に詳しく述べる。この係合突片35は、本実施例では平面視で一例として対向的に2片設けられているが、前記脱着操作部23における係合凹溝25の周辺形状が栓本体部押しタイプと突片押しタイプとの2タイプあることに関連して、大別すると2タイプのものが存在する。
まず図1(e)−1に示すものは、係合突片35が、フランジ部34と面一状態に形成されるものであって、栓本体部31の断面方向と直交する方向に内庇状に張り出しており、前記栓本体部押しタイプの外蓋2(逃げ部22bを有しない外蓋2)に対応する。
The engagement protrusion 35 will be described in more detail. In the present embodiment, two engagement protrusions 35 are provided facing each other as an example in plan view. However, the peripheral shape of the engagement groove 25 in the attachment / detachment operation portion 23 is different from that of the plug body portion pushing type. In connection with the two types of one-push type, there are two types when roughly classified.
First, as shown in FIG. 1 (e)-1, the engagement protrusion 35 is formed in a flush state with the flange portion 34, and the inner protrusion is in a direction perpendicular to the cross-sectional direction of the plug body portion 31. It corresponds to the stopper main body pushing type outer lid 2 (the outer lid 2 having no escape portion 22b).

一方、図1(e)−2に示すものは前記突片押しタイプの外蓋2と対応するものであって、張出先端部351先端側を上方に向かうようにしており、結果的に張出先端部351の上部位置が栓本体部31の上端高さより高くなるように形成されている。
因みに、各図に付した末尾符号「−1」は栓本体部押しタイプを示し、「−2」は突片押しタイプを示すものである。
On the other hand, what is shown in FIG. 1 (e) -2 corresponds to the projecting piece pushing type outer lid 2, and the tip end side of the extension tip portion 351 is directed upward, and as a result The upper position of the leading end portion 351 is formed to be higher than the upper end height of the plug main body portion 31.
Incidentally, the suffix “−1” attached to each drawing indicates the plug body portion pressing type, and “−2” indicates the protruding piece pressing type.

なお、係合突片35の張出先端部351は、少なくともその上端面における上部位置が栓本体部31の上端高さより高くなるように形成されていればよいものであり、種々の形状が取り得るものである。具体的には、まず図5(a)に示すように、栓本体部31の上縁から係合突片35の上面のみが上方に傾斜し、下面が水平状態、すなわち高さ方向に対し直交するような形状が採り得る。また図5(b)に示す実施例は、係合突片35の上面及び下面を共に上向きの平行状態に形成したものである。更に図5(c)に示す実施例は、係合突片35の上面に半円状の張出部351aを形成したものである。
因みに張出先端部351の上向角αについては、図3に示すように成型金型の成形後の抜き出し等を考慮すると、15°程度が好ましいが、目的が達成できる範囲で10°〜60°、更にはこの範囲を超える程度の角度の範囲が選択し得る。
また、前記栓本体部31について、その肉厚部の範囲を本体肉厚範囲31tとするとともに、フランジ部34について、その外側に張り出した範囲をフランジ張出範囲34dとする。
The overhanging tip 351 of the engagement protrusion 35 only needs to be formed so that at least the upper position on the upper end surface is higher than the upper end height of the plug main body 31, and various shapes are taken. To get. Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), only the upper surface of the engagement protrusion 35 is inclined upward from the upper edge of the plug body 31, and the lower surface is in a horizontal state, that is, orthogonal to the height direction. Such a shape can be taken. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5B, the upper and lower surfaces of the engaging protrusion 35 are both formed in an upward parallel state. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5C, a semicircular projecting portion 351 a is formed on the upper surface of the engagement protrusion 35.
Incidentally, the upward angle α of the overhanging tip 351 is preferably about 15 ° in consideration of the extraction after the molding of the molding die as shown in FIG. An angle range exceeding this range can be selected.
Further, regarding the plug main body portion 31, the range of the thick portion is set as a main body thickness range 31 t, and the range of the flange portion 34 that protrudes outside is set as a flange extended range 34 d.

更に係合突片35は図1、図3、図6に示すように平面視では全範囲で同じ張出幅Wとしない形状とし、これにより調芯誘導構造5を構成する。すなわち係合突片35の張出幅Wは調芯誘導ゾーン352では張出幅Wを係合確保ゾーン353における張出幅Wより小さく設定し、更にそこから滑らかに係合確保ゾーン353に向かって張出幅Wを増加させるような形状をとることが好ましい。具体的形状は、図6に示すように種々採り得るが、一例として図6(a)に示すようにその凹部R形状を外蓋2の隆起部253の断面形状に近似させることが好ましい。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 6, the engagement projecting piece 35 has a shape that does not have the same overhang width W in the entire range in plan view, thereby configuring the alignment guiding structure 5. That is, the overhanging width W of the engaging protrusion 35 is set to be smaller than the overhanging width W in the engagement securing zone 353 in the alignment guiding zone 352, and further smoothly toward the engagement securing zone 353 from there. It is preferable to take a shape that increases the overhang width W. Although various specific shapes can be employed as shown in FIG. 6, as an example, it is preferable to approximate the shape of the recess R to the cross-sectional shape of the raised portion 253 of the outer lid 2 as shown in FIG.

ここで外蓋2と中蓋3とを組み合わせた態様について説明する。まず栓本体部押しタイプでは、図9(a)−1・(b)−1に示すように外蓋2の脱着操作部23における押込外縁256が、中蓋3における栓本体部31の外周側、すなわちフランジ張出範囲34dの間に位置している。この状態で中蓋3のフランジ部34の上面と、外蓋2における脱着操作部23の押込外壁面232bと蓋天面部22とにより縦断面視で外リング状の空間が形成されている。なお、この空間は、内容物が液体(液状内容物Lとする)である場合、中蓋3の栓底部32に付着した液状内容物Lが流下して、外蓋2と中蓋3によって形成される微小な間隙ひいては係合凹溝25に入り込むのを防止する作用を担うため、この空間を進入防止空間220とする。そして、この進入防止空間220について、その奥行寸法(押込外壁面232b〜フランジ部34の外周端までの距離)を空間幅220Wとし、この空間幅220Wは、中蓋3(フランジ部34)の肉厚寸法の2倍以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは3倍以上である。
また進入防止空間220における中蓋3のフランジ部34の上面と外蓋2の蓋天面部22との離開距離を空間高さ220Lとし、この空間高さ220Lは、中蓋3(フランジ部34)の肉厚寸法以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは2倍以上である。
Here, a mode in which the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are combined will be described. First, in the plug body portion pushing type, as shown in FIGS. 9 (a)-1 and (b)-1, the pushing outer edge 256 in the attaching / detaching operation portion 23 of the outer lid 2 is the outer peripheral side of the stopper body portion 31 in the inner lid 3. That is, it is located between the flange overhang ranges 34d. In this state, an outer ring-shaped space is formed in a vertical sectional view by the upper surface of the flange portion 34 of the inner lid 3, the pushing outer wall surface 232 b of the attaching / detaching operation portion 23 in the outer lid 2, and the lid top surface portion 22. Note that this space is formed by the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 when the contents are liquid (referred to as the liquid content L) and the liquid contents L adhering to the plug bottom 32 of the inner lid 3 flow down. This space is referred to as an entry prevention space 220 in order to prevent the minute gaps and thus entering into the engagement grooves 25. The depth dimension of the intrusion prevention space 220 (the distance from the pushed outer wall surface 232b to the outer peripheral end of the flange portion 34) is a space width 220W, and the space width 220W is the thickness of the inner lid 3 (flange portion 34). It is preferably at least twice the thickness dimension, more preferably at least 3 times.
Further, the separation distance between the upper surface of the flange portion 34 of the inner lid 3 and the lid top surface portion 22 of the outer lid 2 in the intrusion prevention space 220 is defined as a space height 220L, and this space height 220L is the inner lid 3 (flange portion 34). It is preferable that it is more than the thickness dimension of this, More preferably, it is 2 times or more.

このような形態であると、中蓋3を容器1の開口部13に押し込む際には、押込面255が、中蓋3の本体肉厚範囲31tをほぼ全周にわたって押すものであり、確実な押し込みがなされる。
なお、押込面255は必ずしも360度連続した面として形成されなくてもよく、例えば図2(a)−1に示すように、途中、途切れてもいても構わない。この場合、押込面255による栓本体部31の押し込みは、厳密には全周にならないため、上記記載においても「ほぼ全周(にわたって押す)」と記述したものである。
In such a configuration, when the inner lid 3 is pushed into the opening 13 of the container 1, the pushing surface 255 pushes the main body thickness range 31 t of the inner lid 3 over almost the entire circumference, which is reliable. Pushed in.
Note that the pushing surface 255 does not necessarily have to be formed as a continuous surface of 360 degrees. For example, as shown in FIG. In this case, since the pushing of the plug body 31 by the pushing surface 255 does not strictly take the entire circumference, it is described as “substantially the entire circumference (pressing over)” in the above description.

一方、開栓後、外蓋2と中蓋3とを組み合わせ状態でこれらを逆の姿勢、つまり外蓋2を下にした状態で、至近の作業テーブル等に置く場合について述べると、このときは例えば中蓋3の栓底部32に液状内容物Lが付着している状況が考えられる(図7−4参照)。この際、この付着した液状内容物Lが、栓底部32の外周端から栓本体部31を伝って、下方に位置する外蓋2に垂れ落ちることがあり得る。しかし、このような現象が生じてても、進入防止空間220が存在するため、外蓋2と中蓋3との微小な間隙ひいては係合凹溝25に、当該液状内容物Lが入り込むことが防止される。   On the other hand, after opening the lid, when the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are combined and placed in the reverse posture, that is, when the outer lid 2 is placed on the nearest work table or the like, For example, it is conceivable that the liquid content L is attached to the plug bottom 32 of the inner lid 3 (see FIG. 7-4). At this time, the adhering liquid content L may hang down from the outer peripheral end of the plug bottom 32 to the outer lid 2 positioned below along the plug main body 31. However, even if such a phenomenon occurs, since the intrusion prevention space 220 exists, the liquid content L may enter the minute gap between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 and thus the engaging groove 25. Is prevented.

因みに進入防止空間220が形成されない場合には、一例として図10に示すように、押込面255とフランジ部34とが極めて接近した面合わせ状態となり、この面同士の間に微小な間隙が形成される。このため、中蓋3に付着していた液状内容物Lが、その周囲から垂れ落ちると、この微小間隙によって生じる毛細管現象等により、液状内容物Lが微小間隙に吸い込まれるように入り込み、最終的には係合凹溝25の奥部まで到達し得る。なお、係合凹溝25の奥部まで液状内容物Lが到達してしまうと、これをウエスや先の尖った機器等で除去しようとしても、係合凹溝25の奥部が入隅状になっているため、奥部まで到達した液状内容物Lを綺麗に除去することは極めて困難となる。更に、係合凹溝25の奥部まで入り込んだ液状内容物Lが乾燥固化した場合には、この固化物が溝内で凹凸を形成することになり、脱着機能を有する係合凹溝25が、事後、その機能を充分に発揮し得ないこともあり得る。   Incidentally, when the entry prevention space 220 is not formed, as shown in FIG. 10, as an example, the pressing surface 255 and the flange portion 34 are in a state of close contact with each other, and a minute gap is formed between the surfaces. The For this reason, when the liquid content L adhering to the inner lid 3 hangs down from the periphery, the liquid content L enters the micro gap due to a capillary phenomenon or the like caused by the micro gap, and finally Can reach the back of the engaging groove 25. When the liquid content L reaches the back of the engagement groove 25, the back of the engagement groove 25 has a corner shape even if it is removed with a waste cloth or a pointed device. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to cleanly remove the liquid content L that has reached the back. Furthermore, when the liquid content L that has entered the depth of the engagement groove 25 is dried and solidified, the solidified product forms irregularities in the groove, and the engagement groove 25 having a desorption function is formed. After the fact, it may not be possible to perform its function sufficiently.

もちろん、上記のように進入防止空間220を形成した場合であっても、液状内容物Lの垂れ落ち自体は生じ得るものである。しかしながら、例えば図7−4に示すように、中蓋3から垂れた液状内容物Lは、外蓋2の蓋天面部22や肩部に垂れ落ち、更にはここから作業テーブル上に落ちるものであり、外蓋2と中蓋3によって形成される微小間隙ひいては係合凹溝25に入り込むことはない。因みに外蓋2の蓋天面部22や肩部は、出隅やフラット面であるため、未乾燥状態であればウエス等で容易にぬぐい取ることができる。また、このような部位は、少なくとも、脱着機能を有する凹部ではないため、たとえ液状内容物Lが乾燥固化した場合でも、スクレパーや皮スキあるいはヘラ等を用いて容易に削り落とすことができる。
なお、中蓋3から垂れ落ちる液状内容物Lを、外蓋2と中蓋3との微小間隙に入り込ませないようにする技術思想自体は、本出願人による先の創出(特許第4134105号)でも既に考慮・達成されており、本発明の特に栓本体部押しタイプにあっては、中蓋3を容器1に嵌め込む際に、栓本体部31をほぼ全周にわたって均一に押し込みながら、且つ上記技術思想(液状内容物Lを外蓋2と中蓋3との微小間隙に入り込ませないようにする思想)を同時に達成するようにしている。
Of course, even when the intrusion prevention space 220 is formed as described above, the liquid content L may sag itself. However, for example, as shown in FIG. 7-4, the liquid content L that hangs down from the inner lid 3 hangs down on the lid top surface portion 22 and shoulders of the outer lid 2 and further falls on the work table from here. In other words, the minute gap formed by the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3, and thus the engagement groove 25, does not enter. Incidentally, since the lid top surface portion 22 and the shoulder portion of the outer lid 2 are protruding corners or flat surfaces, they can be easily wiped off with a waste cloth or the like if they are in an undried state. In addition, since such a portion is not at least a concave portion having a desorption function, even when the liquid content L is dried and solidified, it can be easily scraped off using a scraper, leather skin or spatula.
The technical idea itself that prevents the liquid content L that hangs down from the inner lid 3 from entering the minute gap between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 was previously created by the present applicant (Japanese Patent No. 4134105). However, it has already been considered and achieved, and in the stopper main body part pressing type of the present invention, when the inner lid 3 is fitted into the container 1, the stopper main body part 31 is uniformly pressed over the entire circumference, and The above technical idea (the idea of preventing the liquid content L from entering the minute gap between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3) is achieved at the same time.

次に、突片押しタイプについて説明する。
突片押しタイプでは、上記のような進入防止空間220が設け易いものである。すなわち、突片押しタイプは、例えば図9(a)−2・(b)−2に示すように、外蓋2における脱着操作部23の押込外壁面232bと係合外壁面232aとが、ほぼ同一面となるため、進入防止空間220がより確保し易い構造となる。
しかしながら、この突片押しタイプでは中蓋3を容器1に嵌め込む際に、外蓋2を介しての押圧力は、係合突片35のみに働く(図9(b)−2参照)。このため同図に示すように、係合突片35の張出先端部351を上方に向かうように設定して、この部位における押し込みを確実にしている。なおこの作用については後に詳述する。
Next, the protruding piece push type will be described.
In the projecting piece pushing type, the entry preventing space 220 as described above is easily provided. That is, in the protruding piece push type, for example, as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) -2 and (b) -2, the pushing outer wall surface 232b and the engaging outer wall surface 232a of the attaching / detaching operation portion 23 in the outer lid 2 are substantially the same. Since it becomes the same surface, it becomes a structure where the approach prevention space 220 is easier to ensure.
However, in this projecting piece pushing type, when the inner lid 3 is fitted into the container 1, the pressing force through the outer lid 2 acts only on the engaging projecting piece 35 (see FIG. 9B-2). For this reason, as shown in the figure, the protruding tip portion 351 of the engaging protrusion 35 is set to be directed upward to ensure the pushing at this portion. This action will be described later in detail.

本発明は以上述べたような具体的な形状を具えるものであり、以下次のように作用して確実且つ円滑に中蓋3の脱着作業を行う。
(I)中蓋の状態
まず中蓋3の閉栓状態について説明する。先の発明の背景で述べたとおり中蓋3は閉栓状態を確実にするため、一定の柔軟性をもった軟質樹脂製のものであって(例えばポリエチレン製)、閉栓状態では容器1の開口部13に強制的に圧入されていることから一定の形状をとるが、自由状態では幾分かこれが膨出した状態となる。具体的には図4(b)・(c)に示すように閉栓状態にあっては、中蓋3の栓本体部31は容器1の蓋嵌部12の内径である開口部13の径に合わせて押し縮められた状態で圧入されている。因みにこの状態では中蓋3自体は本来は自由状態で柔軟なものであるが、見かけ上剛性の高い状態に設定されている。一方自由状態、すなわちこれを引き抜いた状態では図4(b)にやや誇張して図示したように容器1における開口部13への圧入という制約がなくなることから、全体的に径が広がったような状態を呈する。なお突片押しタイプでは、中蓋3における係合突片35は、外蓋2における逃げ部22bの存在により押し込まれた状態にはなっていない。
The present invention has a specific shape as described above, and performs the following operations to reliably and smoothly detach and attach the inner lid 3.
(I) State of inner lid First, the closing state of the inner lid 3 will be described. As described in the background of the previous invention, the inner lid 3 is made of a soft resin having a certain degree of flexibility (for example, made of polyethylene) in order to ensure a closed state. Since it is forcibly press-fitted into 13, it takes a certain shape, but in a free state, it is in a state of bulging somewhat. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, in the closed state, the plug body 31 of the inner lid 3 has a diameter of the opening 13 which is the inner diameter of the lid fitting portion 12 of the container 1. It is press-fitted in a state of being pressed and shrunk together. Incidentally, in this state, the inner lid 3 itself is originally in a free state and flexible, but apparently has a high rigidity. On the other hand, in the free state, i.e., when it is pulled out, there is no restriction of press-fitting into the opening 13 in the container 1 as shown in a slightly exaggerated manner in FIG. Presents a state. In the protruding piece push type, the engaging protruding piece 35 in the inner lid 3 is not pushed in due to the presence of the escape portion 22 b in the outer lid 2.

(II)開栓作業
まず開栓作業の説明にあたっては、中蓋3及び外蓋2がそれぞれ容器1 の開口部13を閉鎖した状態となっている状態を出発状態とする。
(a)外蓋の取り外し(図7−1 (i)(ii) )
このような状態では常法に従い、まず外蓋2を多くは左回りに捻じ回すようにしてその捻じ込み状態を解除する。このようにした後、外蓋2の脱着操作部23側が下に向くように上下反転させる。
(II) Opening Operation First, in the description of the opening operation, the state in which the inner lid 3 and the outer lid 2 are in the state in which the opening 13 of the container 1 is closed is set as the starting state.
(A) Removing the outer lid (Fig. 7-1 (i) (ii))
In such a state, according to a conventional method, the outer lid 2 is first twisted counterclockwise to release the twisted state. After doing in this way, it turns upside down so that the attachment / detachment operation part 23 side of the outer lid 2 may face downward.

(b)中蓋との係合開始(図7−1(iii) )
このようにした状態で外蓋2の脱着操作部23を中蓋3の窪み部33に宛がうようにして、窪み部33内に脱着操作部23を侵入させるような操作を行う。この操作にあたっては係合凹溝25における受入切欠251の部位を、中蓋3における係合突片35の位置に合致させ、係合突片35と係合凹溝25とが嵌まり合うようにして外蓋2と中蓋3とを接近させる。実際には中蓋3は容器1に対し取り付けられている状態であり、外蓋2を中蓋3に宛がって押し込むような操作がされる。なおこのとき、受入切欠251の部位に受入面取り251aが形成されている場合には、上記係合の開始が円滑に行われる。加えて係合凹溝25にあってはこれを構成する引上リブ254の受入切欠251側に面取り状の係合誘導面254bが形成されており、係合突片35との係合動作がこれによってもより円滑になされている。因みにこの操作にあたって、外蓋中芯O2と中蓋中芯O3とが必ずしも合致しないが、それであっても後述するように調芯誘導構造5の作用により最終的にそれぞれの中芯O2、O3が合致した状態で係合が図られる。
(B) Engagement with the inner lid (FIG. 7-1 (iii))
In such a state, the detachment operation part 23 of the outer lid 2 is directed to the dent part 33 of the inner lid 3 so that the detachment operation part 23 is inserted into the dent part 33. In this operation, the portion of the receiving groove 251 in the engaging groove 25 is matched with the position of the engaging protrusion 35 in the inner lid 3 so that the engaging protrusion 35 and the engaging groove 25 are fitted. The outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are brought close to each other. Actually, the inner lid 3 is in a state of being attached to the container 1, and an operation is performed in which the outer lid 2 is pushed into the inner lid 3. At this time, when the receiving chamfer 251a is formed in the portion of the receiving notch 251, the engagement is smoothly started. In addition, a chamfered engagement guide surface 254b is formed on the side of the receiving notch 251 of the pull-up rib 254 constituting the engaging groove 25, and the engaging operation with the engaging protrusion 35 is performed. This also makes it smoother. Incidentally, in this operation, the outer lid center core O2 and the inner lid center core O3 do not necessarily match, but even so, as will be described later, the center cores O2 and O3 are finally formed by the action of the alignment guide structure 5 as will be described later. Engagement is achieved in a matched state.

(c)バヨネット係合(図7−1(iv) 、図7−2(v))
このように係合凹溝25の受入切欠251により係合突片35との干渉を避けながら、中蓋3の窪み部33に嵌まり込んだ外蓋2の脱着操作部23は、そのままこれを図中右回し状に外蓋2を回転させると、係合凹溝25におけるキャッチ溝252が中蓋3の係合突片35を収めるようにバヨネット係合状に係合して行く。このとき中蓋3の係合突片35において調芯誘導構造5としての調芯誘導ゾーン352と係合確保ゾーン353とが形成されている場合には、キャッチ溝252の奥部にある隆起部253はまず調芯誘導ゾーン352に触れた状態となり、対向的に設けられている係合突片35と隆起部253とが均等に触れながら言わば中蓋中芯O3と外蓋中芯O2とが合致するような状態に誘導されながら隆起部253が係合突片35に順次接触して行くような状態となる。因みにこのとき、突片押しタイプの係合の場合、縦断側面状態で中蓋3と外蓋2との係合状態を見ると、図9(a)−2・(b)−2に示すように、係合突片35は張出先端部351が栓本体部31の上縁より上方に突出しており、この結果係合突片35は上下逆さになった外蓋2の押込面255によって張出先端部351が下方に押し込まれる。これにより張出先端部351は、中蓋3の中芯側に向かうような姿勢をとり、この張出先端部351が外蓋2のキャッチ溝252の奥壁である凹壁面231を囲むような状態を呈し、中蓋3と外蓋2との相互の係合関係が正確に維持される。もちろん、この作用は後述するぬぐい取り作業時(開栓直後の中蓋3に付着した液状内容物Lを除去する作業時)や閉栓作業時にも、より有効に機能する。
(C) Bayonet engagement (FIGS. 7-1 (iv) and 7-2 (v))
In this way, while avoiding interference with the engaging protrusion 35 by the receiving cutout 251 of the engaging groove 25, the attaching / detaching operation portion 23 of the outer lid 2 fitted into the recessed portion 33 of the inner lid 3 is used as it is. When the outer lid 2 is rotated in a clockwise direction in the figure, the catch groove 252 in the engagement groove 25 is engaged in a bayonet engagement so as to accommodate the engagement protrusion 35 of the inner lid 3. At this time, when the alignment guiding zone 352 as the alignment guiding structure 5 and the engagement ensuring zone 353 are formed in the engagement protrusion 35 of the inner lid 3, the raised portion at the back of the catch groove 252 253 first comes into contact with the alignment guide zone 352, so that the inner cover intermediate core O3 and the outer cover intermediate core O2 are in contact with the engaging protrusions 35 and the raised portions 253 that are provided oppositely. The ridges 253 sequentially come into contact with the engaging protrusions 35 while being guided in a state of matching. Incidentally, at this time, in the case of the projecting piece pushing type engagement, when the engagement state of the inner lid 3 and the outer lid 2 is viewed in the longitudinal side surface state, as shown in FIGS. 9A-2 and B-2. In addition, the projecting tip 351 of the engaging protrusion 35 protrudes upward from the upper edge of the plug main body 31. As a result, the engaging protrusion 35 is stretched by the pushing surface 255 of the outer lid 2 turned upside down. The leading end 351 is pushed downward. As a result, the protruding tip 351 takes a posture toward the center of the inner lid 3, and the protruding tip 351 surrounds the concave wall surface 231 that is the inner wall of the catch groove 252 of the outer lid 2. In this state, the mutual engagement relationship between the inner lid 3 and the outer lid 2 is accurately maintained. Of course, this action functions more effectively at the time of wiping work described later (at the time of removing the liquid content L adhering to the inner lid 3 immediately after opening) and at the time of closing the work.

ここで調芯誘導構造5の形成理由及び他の形態について説明する。形成理由の背景として、図8(a)に基づき、仮に調芯誘導構造5を具えない場合の不都合について説明する。まず外蓋2の脱着操作部23の外径寸法と、これに係合する中蓋3の窪み部33や、係合突片35の内径寸法との間には、必然的に両者が容易に係合できるだけの寸法差、すなわちギャップを取らなければならない。そしてこのようなギャップを確保すると、図8(a)に誇張して示すようにこのギャップに起因して、中蓋中芯O3に対し外蓋中芯O2が合致しない状態で最初の嵌め込みがされがちである。このような状態でバヨネット係合状に外蓋2を図中右回転させると、中芯が偏寄した側の隆起部253がその隆起基端部253pでまず係合突片35の端部と接触する。一方、対向する側の隆起部253を見ると、外蓋2の中芯が偏寄していることにより、この側では隆起中間部253gで係合突片35の端部と接触している。このような隆起部253と、係合突片35との相互の関係を見ると、中芯が偏寄した側の隆起部253の接線と係合突片35の先端接線との当たり角θ1は、対向する側の当たり角θ2より大きい。このことは、このように外蓋中芯O2、中蓋中芯O3がずれたまま外蓋2の回転を図ると、偏寄した側であたかも外蓋2が隆起部253に起因して回転を阻まれがちとなる一方、対向する側では当たり角θ2が浅く(角度が少なく)、より容易に隆起部253が係合突片35と噛み合う状態を出現させる。もちろん更に厳密に外蓋2の回転を図れば、外蓋2と中蓋3との係合は確保できるが、不用意な操作を行うと、次の段階では、偏寄側の隆起基端部253pを中心として外蓋2が旋回するようになり、図中符号P(当接点)で示すようにこの位置で脱着操作部23の外壁面232が中蓋3の窪み部33の内壁面33Wに当接し、それ以上の旋回が阻まれる状態となる。この状態は操作者の手に伝わる感覚としては、あたかも正確に外蓋2と中蓋3との中芯が合致して係合が完了しているかのような感覚として伝わる。この状態では当然ながらキャッチ溝252は充分に係合突片35との係合が図られておらず、次に述べる中蓋3の抜き取りが不確実となりがちである。   Here, the reason for forming the alignment guiding structure 5 and other forms will be described. As a background of the reason for formation, an inconvenience when the alignment guiding structure 5 is not provided will be described based on FIG. First, between the outer diameter dimension of the detaching operation portion 23 of the outer lid 2 and the inner diameter dimension of the recessed portion 33 of the inner lid 3 and the engaging protrusion 35 that engage with the outer lid 2 inevitably both easily A dimensional difference that can be engaged, that is, a gap must be taken. When such a gap is secured, as shown exaggeratedly in FIG. 8A, due to this gap, the first fitting is performed in a state where the outer lid core O2 does not match the inner lid core O3. Tend to. In this state, when the outer lid 2 is rotated to the right in the figure so as to engage with the bayonet, the raised portion 253 on the side on which the center is biased becomes the raised base end portion 253p at the end of the engaging protrusion 35 first. Contact. On the other hand, when the raised portion 253 on the opposite side is viewed, the center of the outer lid 2 is offset, and on this side, the raised intermediate portion 253g is in contact with the end of the engaging protrusion 35. Looking at the mutual relationship between the raised portion 253 and the engaging projection piece 35, the contact angle θ1 between the tangent line of the raised portion 253 on the side where the central core is offset and the distal end tangent line of the engaging projection piece 35 is Is larger than the contact angle θ2 on the opposite side. This means that if the outer lid 2 is rotated while the outer lid center core O2 and the inner lid center core O3 are displaced as described above, the outer lid 2 rotates as if due to the raised portion 253 on the offset side. While it tends to be blocked, the contact angle θ2 is shallow (the angle is small) on the opposite side, and a state where the raised portion 253 meshes with the engagement protrusion 35 more easily appears. Of course, if the outer lid 2 is rotated more strictly, the engagement between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 can be ensured. However, if an inadvertent operation is performed, in the next stage, the raised proximal end portion on the offset side The outer lid 2 pivots about 253p. At this position, the outer wall surface 232 of the attachment / detachment operation portion 23 is brought into contact with the inner wall surface 33W of the recess portion 33 of the inner lid 3 as indicated by a symbol P (contact point) in the drawing. It comes into contact, and further turning is prevented. This state is transmitted as if it were transmitted to the operator's hand as if the center of the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 were exactly aligned and the engagement was complete. Naturally, in this state, the catch groove 252 is not sufficiently engaged with the engagement protrusion 35, and the extraction of the inner lid 3 described below tends to be uncertain.

このような背景から前述のとおり、係合突片35に調芯誘導構造5たる調芯誘導ゾーン352を設けたものであり、これにより図7−1(iv)、図8(b)に示すように隆起部253と係合突片35との最初の係合が円滑になる。結果的に格別注意深く中蓋中芯O3と外蓋中芯O2を合致させずに両者の係合を行ったとしても滑らかな係合が進められることにより、自然に中芯が合致するように外蓋2が案内されて係合が完了する。因みに図6(a)に示すように調芯誘導ゾーン352の形状について凹部R形状を隆起部253の断面形状に近似させれば、ここで外蓋中芯O2を中蓋中芯O3と合致させるように一旦とどまり、より確実な中芯合わせ状態の係合が図られる。
なおこのような目的の調芯誘導構造5は隆起部253と係合突片35との間で形成されればよく、例えば隆起部253に図6(d)・(e)に示すように、なだらかな調芯誘導面253Aを形成したり、前段部に隆起高さ寸法の小さい調芯誘導隆起部253Bを形成してもよい。
From this background, as described above, the alignment protrusion zone 35 is provided with the alignment guiding zone 352 which is the alignment guiding structure 5, and as shown in FIGS. 7-1 (iv) and 8 (b). Thus, the initial engagement between the raised portion 253 and the engagement protrusion 35 becomes smooth. As a result, even if the inner lid core O3 and the outer lid center core O2 are not matched with each other and they are engaged with each other, smooth engagement is advanced, so that the center core naturally matches. The lid 2 is guided to complete the engagement. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 6A, if the concave portion R shape is approximated to the cross-sectional shape of the raised portion 253 with respect to the shape of the alignment guide zone 352, the outer lid inner core O2 is matched with the inner lid inner core O3. In this way, the engagement in the center alignment state can be performed more securely.
Note that the alignment guide structure 5 for this purpose may be formed between the raised portion 253 and the engagement protrusion 35. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 (d) and 6 (e), the raised portion 253 The gentle alignment guide surface 253A may be formed, or the alignment guide raised portion 253B having a small raised height dimension may be formed in the front stage portion.

(d)引き上げ開始(図7−2(vi))
引き上げ、すなわち中蓋3の取り外しにあたっては、外蓋2は蓋本体部21が充分に手で掴み易く且つ力を入れ易い寸法設定であるから、これを手がかりに係合している中蓋3を開口部13からコジリ外すような状態としながら引き上げて行く。このとき実際の引き上げは前記キャッチ溝252の一面を実質的に形成している引上げリブ254の引上面254aが係合突片35の下面に当たりながら引き上げるような状態となる。
なお、中蓋3を容器1の開口部13から取り外した段階で中蓋3は膨張したような自由状態となり(図4(b)参照)、外蓋2に対しては更にガタツキが増えた状態となる。しかしながらキャッチ溝252の部位に隆起部253が設けられており、これが中蓋3の係合突片35に対し内拡状に緩接触するため、外蓋2と中蓋3との係合においてガタツキが生じないものである。
(D) Start of lifting (Fig. 7-2 (vi))
When pulling up, that is, when removing the inner lid 3, the outer lid 2 is dimensioned so that the lid main body 21 can be easily grasped by hand and force can be applied. Therefore, the inner lid 3 engaged with this is used as a clue. It pulls up while making it the state which removes from the opening part 13. At this time, the actual pulling is such that the pulling upper surface 254a of the pulling rib 254 substantially forming one surface of the catch groove 252 is pulled up while hitting the lower surface of the engaging protrusion 35.
When the inner lid 3 is removed from the opening 13 of the container 1, the inner lid 3 is in a free state as if it has expanded (see FIG. 4 (b)), and the outer lid 2 is further loosened. It becomes. However, a raised portion 253 is provided in the catch groove 252, and this loosely contacts the engagement protrusion 35 of the inner lid 3 so as to expand inwardly. Therefore, the engagement between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 is unstable. Does not occur.

(III)ぬぐい取り作業(中蓋に付着した液状内容物の除去作業)(図7−3 )
容器1から取り外した中蓋3には、上述したように底面(栓底部32)に液状内容物Lが付着していることがあり、当該ぬぐい取り作業は、この液状内容物Lを容器1の縁でぬぐい取る作業である。
この作業は、例えば図7−3に示すように、中蓋3とガタツキなく係合している外蓋2を操作して行うものであり、ユーザとしては、直接、中蓋3に触れることなく行える。具体的には、まず図7−3(b)の想像線で示すように、開口部13の上方で中蓋3を斜めの姿勢とし、栓底部32の下端縁に液状内容物Lを寄せ集め、極力、余分な液状内容物Lを容器1内に落下させておく。次いで中蓋3(栓底部32)を容器1の縁(開口部13)でしごくように外蓋2を動かして、上記操作で落とし切れなかった液状内容物Lを容器1の縁でぬぐい落とす。このようにすることで、ユーザは直接、中蓋3に一切触れることなく、栓底部32に付着した液状内容物Lをきれいに容器1内に戻すことができる。もちろん、当該ぬぐい取り作業においてユーザが中蓋3に一切触れることなく、すなわち直接的には外蓋2の操作だけで確実に行えるのは、外蓋2の隆起部253によって中蓋3を確実にキャッチできることが大きく寄与している。
(III) Wipe removal work (removal work of liquid contents adhering to the inner lid) (Figure 7-3)
As described above, the liquid content L may adhere to the bottom surface (plug bottom portion 32) of the inner lid 3 removed from the container 1, and the wiping operation involves removing the liquid content L from the container 1. It is the work of wiping with the edge.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7-3, this operation is performed by operating the outer lid 2 that is engaged with the inner lid 3 without rattling, and the user does not touch the inner lid 3 directly. Yes. Specifically, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 7-3 (b), first, the inner lid 3 is placed in an oblique posture above the opening 13, and the liquid content L is gathered at the lower end edge of the stopper bottom 32. As much as possible, extra liquid content L is dropped into the container 1. Next, the outer lid 2 is moved so that the inner lid 3 (plug bottom portion 32) is squeezed by the edge (opening portion 13) of the container 1, and the liquid content L that has not been dropped by the above operation is wiped off by the edge of the container 1. By doing in this way, the user can return the liquid content L adhering to the stopper bottom 32 cleanly into the container 1 without directly touching the inner lid 3 at all. Of course, in the wiping operation, the user does not touch the inner lid 3 at all, that is, the direct operation only by the operation of the outer lid 2 can be performed reliably by the raised portion 253 of the outer lid 2. The ability to catch greatly contributes.

因みに、通常、容器1内に収容された塗料等の液状内容物Lを実際に使用するにあたっては、直前に内容物を良く混ぜ合わせ、成分の均一化を図ることが望ましい。このため従来の容器(外蓋2に脱着操作部23が存在しない容器)においても、中蓋3を静かに開け、その後、容器内の液状内容物Lを長い棒状部材でゆっくりかき混ぜることが好ましいとされている(使用方法として推奨されている)。しかしながら、棒状部材を別途使用して液状内容物Lの成分均一化を図る手法は、極めて煩わしく、また充分に撹拌するには比較的長い時間を要していた。このようなことから、ユーザのなかには中蓋3を外す前に容器を激しく振って液状内容物Lを撹拌させる人がいるのが実情である。ただし、このように容器1を振って液状内容物Lを撹拌させる手法は、比較的短時間で充分な撹拌効果が得られるものの、撹拌によって中蓋3の栓底部32に多量の液状内容物Lが付着してしまい、従来は、この液状内容物Lが例えば中蓋3を外す際、ユーザの指先に多く付着したり、中蓋3を逆さにして作業テーブル上に置いた場合に、より多くの液状内容物Lが垂れ落ちてしまう要因となっていた。   Incidentally, in actual use of the liquid content L such as paint contained in the container 1, it is desirable to mix the contents well immediately before the liquid content L such as paint is actually used to make the components uniform. For this reason, even in a conventional container (a container in which the detachment operation unit 23 does not exist in the outer lid 2), it is preferable to gently open the inner lid 3 and then slowly agitate the liquid content L in the container with a long rod-shaped member. (Recommended for usage) However, the method of separately using a rod-shaped member to make the components of the liquid content L uniform is extremely troublesome and takes a relatively long time to sufficiently stir. For this reason, there are actually some people who shake the liquid contents L vigorously by shaking the container before removing the inner lid 3. However, the method of stirring the liquid content L by shaking the container 1 in this way can obtain a sufficient stirring effect in a relatively short time, but a large amount of the liquid content L is added to the plug bottom 32 of the inner lid 3 by stirring. In the past, when the liquid content L is removed, for example, when the inner lid 3 is removed, the liquid content L adheres more to the user's fingertips or when the inner lid 3 is turned upside down and placed on the work table. The liquid content L was a factor that drooped.

この点、本発明では、外蓋2によって中蓋3をガタツキなくキャッチできるため、たとえ容器1を振って液状内容物Lを撹拌させても、つまり中蓋3に多量の液状内容物Lが付着しても、中蓋3を取り外す際、ユーザが中蓋3に直接触れることがなく、また中蓋3に付着した液状内容物Lを確実にぬぐい取ることができる。
なお、液状内容物Lの性状等によっては、閉栓状態のまま容器1を振って成分の均一化(撹拌)を図ることが好ましくないことも考えられるが、容器1を振ることなく(静かに)中蓋3を取り外した場合でも、上述したように中蓋3に液状内容物Lが付着することはあり得、開栓後、上記のようなぬぐい取り作業を基本的に想定しておくことが好ましい。もちろん、開栓時にユーザの目視により中蓋3に液状内容物Lがほとんど付着していないような場合には、あえて上述したぬぐい取り作業は行う必要はなく、当然、省略しても構わない。
In this respect, in the present invention, since the inner lid 3 can be caught by the outer lid 2 without rattling, even if the container 1 is shaken to stir the liquid content L, that is, a large amount of the liquid content L adheres to the inner lid 3. Even when the inner lid 3 is removed, the user does not touch the inner lid 3 directly, and the liquid content L attached to the inner lid 3 can be wiped off reliably.
Depending on the properties of the liquid content L, etc., it may be undesirable to shake the container 1 in a closed state to make the components uniform (stirring), but without shaking the container 1 (quietly). Even when the inner lid 3 is removed, the liquid content L may adhere to the inner lid 3 as described above, and it is basically assumed that the wiping work as described above is performed after the opening. preferable. Of course, when the liquid content L is hardly attached to the inner lid 3 by visual inspection of the user when the plug is opened, the above-described wiping operation need not be performed and may be omitted as a matter of course.

(IV) 中蓋定置(図7−4(vii) )
その後、中蓋3を至近のテーブル等に置くが、このときには外蓋2の脱着操作部23に捕捉されているような状態の中蓋3の底面(下面)を上方に向けるようにして保持したまま置く。当然、外蓋2は上方が上を向いた状態となる。
(IV) Inner lid placement (Figure 7-4 (vii))
Thereafter, the inner lid 3 is placed on a nearby table or the like. At this time, the inner lid 3 is held so that the bottom surface (lower surface) of the inner lid 3 is captured by the attaching / detaching operation portion 23 of the outer lid 2 so as to face upward. Leave as it is. Naturally, the outer lid 2 is in a state in which the upper side faces upward.

次にこのような中蓋定置の状態において、外蓋2と中蓋3の微小な間隙ひいては係合凹溝25に内容物が入り込むことを回避する進入防止構造について説明する。上述したように、例えば容器1内に収納された液状内容物Lが、開栓時において中蓋3の栓底部32に付着することがある。このような状態のまま、不用意に中蓋3の栓底部32が上向きになるように定置すると、例えば図10に示すように液状内容物Lが栓本体部31を伝って下方に流下する。しかしながら、図9に示すように、係合し合った外蓋2の蓋天面部22と、中蓋3のフランジ部34との間に進入防止空間220が確保されるため、かりに液状内容物Lが流下しても、流下した液状内容物Lは、外蓋2の蓋天面部22や肩部に垂れ落ち、上記間隙ひいては係合凹溝25への進入を阻止することができる。すなわち、進入防止空間220の存在によって、蓋天面部22とフランジ部34との離開距離(空間高さ220L)及び押込外壁面232bとフランジ部34の端部までの距離(空間幅220W)を大きく獲得し、外蓋2と中蓋3を面合わせ状態で設けた場合に作用する毛細管現象等による間隙内への液状内容物Lの進入を防止したものである。   Next, a description will be given of an intrusion prevention structure that prevents the contents from entering the minute gap between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 and thus the engagement groove 25 in such a state where the inner lid is stationary. As described above, for example, the liquid content L stored in the container 1 may adhere to the plug bottom 32 of the inner lid 3 at the time of opening. If it is placed in such a state inadvertently so that the plug bottom 32 of the inner lid 3 faces upward, the liquid content L flows downward along the plug body 31 as shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 9, since the entry prevention space 220 is secured between the lid top surface portion 22 of the outer lid 2 and the flange portion 34 of the inner lid 3 that are engaged with each other, the liquid content L Even if the liquid flows down, the liquid content L that has flowed down hangs down on the lid top surface portion 22 and the shoulder portion of the outer lid 2, and can prevent the entry into the gap and the engagement groove 25. That is, due to the presence of the intrusion prevention space 220, the separation distance (space height 220L) between the lid top surface portion 22 and the flange portion 34 and the distance between the outer wall surface 232b and the end of the flange portion 34 (space width 220W) are increased. The liquid content L is prevented from entering into the gap due to capillarity or the like which acts when the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are provided in a face-to-face state.

次に、中蓋3のフランジ部34から下方の外蓋2に垂れ落ちる液状内容物(これを符号Ldで示す)の挙動に関し説明する。
この液状内容物Ldは、一例として図7−5(a)・(b)に示すように、逆さになったフランジ部34の下方に向いた面(閉栓姿勢における上面)、やや奥側に入り込んだ位置で、逆富士山状と表現されるような形状の「しずく」として成長し、最終的に図7−5(c)〜(f)に示すように、蓋天面部22に滴り落ちる。当然、フランジ部34の下方における「しずく」の成長は、垂下方向とフランジ部34に沿った水平方向のいずれにも生じる現象であり、この成長する「しずく」としての液状内容物Ldが許容される成長限度は、その粘度や表面張力あるいは質量(比重)等の性状で異なるが、液状内容物Ldの端部(フランジ部34との境界部)が、進入防止空間220を奥行して接触部(中蓋3と押込面255とによって形成される微小空間領域であり、符号221を付す)まで至らない範囲とし、この接触部221で毛細管現象が起きないようにしなければならない。
このために進入防止空間220の空間高さ220L寸法は、前記接触部221での毛細管現象が生じる前に、まず下方に向かって成長した「しずく」状の液状内容物Ldの下端が、蓋天面部22に接触する寸法としておく。これにより蓋天面部22に垂れ落ちる液状内容物Ldを、外蓋2と中蓋3の微小な間隙ひいては係合凹溝25に入り込ませないようにしている。
なお、蓋天面部22上に垂れた液状内容物Ldは、順次、フランジ部34から「しずく」が垂れてくることに伴い、上記図7−5(e)・(f)に示すように、蓋天面部22上でフランジ部34に沿った水平方向に成長するが(径寸法を拡大させるが)、成長した液状内容物Ldにおける蓋天面部22の肩部に面した部位が、当該肩部のR形状(曲面形状)に案内されるように下方に流れ落ち(全体的に引っ張られるように移動し)、このため液状内容物Ldの外蓋2と中蓋3の微小間隙への入り込みが防止される。
また、上記構成に関し、突片押しタイプでは、本出願人による先の創出(特許第4134105号)と同等の空間幅220W、より正確には上記フランジ部34の下方で逆富士山状に成長する「しずく」の端部から押込外縁256までの寸法(図7−5中のa寸法)を確保することができるため、より有効である。
Next, the behavior of the liquid contents (indicated by the symbol Ld) that hangs down from the flange portion 34 of the inner lid 3 to the lower outer lid 2 will be described.
As an example, the liquid content Ld enters the surface facing downward (upper surface in the plugging position) of the flange portion 34 that is inverted, and slightly inward, as shown in FIGS. 7-5 (a) and (b). At this position, it grows as a “drop” having a shape expressed as an inverted Mt. Fuji shape, and finally drips down onto the lid top surface 22 as shown in FIGS. 7-5 (c) to (f). Naturally, the growth of “drop” below the flange portion 34 is a phenomenon that occurs both in the drooping direction and in the horizontal direction along the flange portion 34, and the liquid content Ld as the growing “drop” is allowed. The growth limit varies depending on properties such as the viscosity, surface tension, or mass (specific gravity), but the end of the liquid content Ld (the boundary with the flange portion 34) penetrates the intrusion prevention space 220 and contacts. It must be in a range that does not reach (it is a minute space region formed by the inner lid 3 and the pushing surface 255, and is denoted by reference numeral 221), and it is necessary to prevent capillary action from occurring at the contact portion 221.
For this reason, the space height 220L of the ingress prevention space 220 is such that the lower end of the “drop” -like liquid content Ld that has grown downward before the capillary action at the contact portion 221 occurs is the lid top. It is set as the dimension which contacts the surface part 22. FIG. As a result, the liquid content Ld that hangs down on the lid top surface portion 22 is prevented from entering the minute gap between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3, and thus the engagement groove 25.
As shown in FIGS. 7-5 (e) and (f), the liquid content Ld that hangs on the lid top surface portion 22 is successively dropped from the flange portion 34, as shown in FIGS. Although it grows in the horizontal direction along the flange portion 34 on the lid top surface portion 22 (though the diameter is enlarged), the portion facing the shoulder portion of the lid top surface portion 22 in the grown liquid content Ld is the shoulder portion. As a result, it flows downward (moves so as to be pulled as a whole) so as to be guided by the R shape (curved surface shape) of the liquid, so that the liquid content Ld is prevented from entering the minute gap between the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3. Is done.
In addition, regarding the above configuration, in the projecting piece pushing type, a space width 220 W equivalent to the previous creation by the present applicant (Japanese Patent No. 4134105), more precisely, grows in an inverted Fuji mountain shape below the flange portion 34. Since the dimension (a dimension in FIG. 7-5) from the edge part of a drop to the pushing outer edge 256 can be ensured, it is more effective.

(V)閉栓作業(図7−6(viii) )
そしてこの中蓋3における係合突片35と、外蓋2における隆起部253との係合状態を見ると、調芯誘導ゾーン352によって係合突片35に均等に対の隆起部253が作用するような状態となっており、外蓋中芯O2と、中蓋中芯O3とが合致した状態となっている(図7−2(v)参照)。このような状態で中蓋3により開口部13を塞ぐには、再び中蓋3の栓底部32を下方に向けるような状態として容器1の開口部13に宛がい、外蓋2を押し込むような操作で栓本体部31を開口部13に押し込む。
(V) Closing work (Fig. 7-6 (viii))
When the engagement state between the engaging protrusion 35 in the inner lid 3 and the raised portion 253 in the outer lid 2 is seen, the pair of raised portions 253 act evenly on the engaging protrusion 35 by the alignment guiding zone 352. In such a state, the outer lid core O2 and the inner lid core O3 are matched (see FIG. 7-2 (v)). In order to close the opening 13 with the inner lid 3 in such a state, the stopper bottom 32 of the inner lid 3 is again directed downward so as to reach the opening 13 of the container 1 and push the outer lid 2 into it. The stopper main body 31 is pushed into the opening 13 by operation.

(i)栓本体部押しタイプの閉栓
このような閉栓作業においては、前述のとおり栓本体部押しタイプと突片押しタイプとの二つのタイプがあるが、まず栓本体部押しタイプの閉栓作業について説明する。
図7−6(viii)−1に示すように外蓋2と中蓋3とが係合するように組み合わされている場合において、閉栓のために作用する押込面255の押込外縁256は、垂直断面方向に視て中蓋3における栓本体部31の肉厚外側(本体肉厚範囲31tの外側からフランジ部34に至る位置)にある。このため、外蓋2を押圧操作して中蓋3を容器1の開口部13に押し嵌めるにあたり、中蓋3の栓本体部31の上方をほぼ全周にわたって均等に押し込むことができ、確実な閉栓がされる。
(I) Plug body part push type closure As mentioned above, there are two types of plug body part push type and protruding piece push type. explain.
When the outer lid 2 and the inner lid 3 are combined so as to engage with each other as shown in FIG. 7-6 (viii) -1, the pushing outer edge 256 of the pushing surface 255 acting for plugging is vertical. When viewed in the cross-sectional direction, it is on the outer side of the stopper main body 31 in the inner lid 3 (the position from the outer side of the main body thickness range 31t to the flange 34). For this reason, when pressing the outer lid 2 to press-fit the inner lid 3 into the opening 13 of the container 1, the upper portion of the plug body 31 of the inner lid 3 can be pushed in almost evenly and reliably. The plug is closed.

特に外蓋2を中蓋3にバヨネット係合させた最終状態では、例えば図7−7に誇張して示すように、中蓋3は、栓底部32よりもフランジ部34の方が径方向に拡がり、栓本体部31も下窄まり(上拡がり)状に傾斜した状態となる。中蓋3が、このような内拡がり状になるのは、本図に示すように、外蓋2の突起部253が中蓋3の係合突片35に接触するためであり、この突起部253で中蓋3の内拡がり状態が顕著となる。
しかし、このような状態になっても、栓本体部押しタイプでは、押込面255が中蓋3の栓本体部31の上方を、ほぼ全周にわたって均等に押し込むため、突起部253によって外側に張り出した栓本体部31でも確実に押し込むことができ、確実に中蓋3を容器1に嵌め込むことができる。
なお、上記図7−7は、図7−2(v) のv−v線断面に相当する。
Particularly, in the final state in which the outer lid 2 is bayonet-engaged with the inner lid 3, for example, as shown exaggeratedly in FIG. 7-7, the inner lid 3 has the flange portion 34 in the radial direction rather than the plug bottom portion 32. The plug main body 31 is also in a state of being narrowed and inclined (upwardly spread). The reason why the inner lid 3 has such an inwardly expanded shape is that the projection 253 of the outer lid 2 comes into contact with the engaging protrusion 35 of the inner lid 3 as shown in FIG. At 253, the inner expansion state of the inner lid 3 becomes remarkable.
However, even in such a state, in the plug body portion pushing type, the pushing surface 255 pushes evenly above the plug body portion 31 of the inner lid 3 over almost the entire circumference, so that the protrusion 253 projects outward. The stopper main body 31 can be pushed in reliably, and the inner lid 3 can be securely fitted into the container 1.
7-7 corresponds to the cross section taken along the line vv of FIG. 7-2 (v).

(ii)突片押しタイプの閉栓
この場合には、図7−6(viii)−2に示すように押込面255の押込外縁256は、垂直断面方向に視て中蓋3の係合突片35の基端近くに位置しており、押込面255は係合突片35に作用する状態である。
この押し込みの反力は外蓋2における係合凹溝25の押込面255と係合突片35の上面との間に生ずるが、このとき係合突片35が栓本体部31の周縁より上方に突出したような状態に形成されているから、まずこの部位に集中的に荷重がかかる。そして張出先端部351は内向するような状態に倒れ込み、その上面がフラットな状態となるとともに、その先端で脱着操作部23における係合凹溝25の凹壁面231を掴むような状態となって安定した係合状態を得ながら押し込み作用を受ける。その後、外蓋2を中蓋3から外し、容器1の蓋嵌部12に被せ蓋状に捻じ嵌めして容器1の開口部13の完全な閉塞を行う。
(Ii) Protruding piece pushing type closure In this case, as shown in FIG. 7-6 (viii) -2, the pushing outer edge 256 of the pushing surface 255 is an engaging protruding piece of the inner lid 3 when viewed in the vertical cross-sectional direction. The pushing surface 255 is in a state of acting on the engaging protrusion 35.
The reaction force of this push-in occurs between the push-in surface 255 of the engagement groove 25 in the outer lid 2 and the upper surface of the engagement protrusion 35. At this time, the engagement protrusion 35 is above the peripheral edge of the plug body 31. First, the load is concentrated on this part. The overhanging tip 351 falls into an inward state, the upper surface thereof becomes flat, and the tip of the overhanging tip 351 is in a state of gripping the concave wall surface 231 of the engagement groove 25 in the attachment / detachment operation portion 23. It is pushed in while obtaining a stable engagement state. Thereafter, the outer lid 2 is removed from the inner lid 3, and the lid 1 is screwed onto the lid fitting portion 12 of the container 1 in a cover-like manner to completely close the opening 13 of the container 1.

なお、上記説明では、栓本体部押しタイプと突片押しタイプとを別々の態様として説明したが、例えば図11に示すように、両タイプを融合させたような形態を採ることも可能である(これを栓本体部押し且つ突片押しタイプと称する)。すなわち、この栓本体部押し且つ突片押しタイプでは、栓本体部31の上方をほぼ全周にわたって押し込みながら中蓋3を容器1に押し込むものの、係合突片35の上方先端の張出先端部351を上向張出状に形成するものである。
因みに、本図11(a)は通常の閉栓状態を示し、本図(b)は外蓋2を中蓋3に係合させた状態(中蓋3の開栓または閉栓する状態)を示し、本図(c)は開栓した中蓋3を外蓋2に係合させた状態で作業テーブル上に置いた状態を示している。
In the above description, the plug body pressing type and the protruding piece pressing type have been described as separate modes. However, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, it is possible to adopt a form in which both types are fused. (This is referred to as a stopper main body pushing and protruding piece pushing type). That is, in the stopper main body pushing and protruding piece pushing type, the inner lid 3 is pushed into the container 1 while pushing the upper portion of the stopper main body 31 over almost the entire circumference, but the protruding tip of the upper tip of the engaging protruding piece 35 351 is formed in an upwardly protruding shape.
Incidentally, FIG. 11 (a) shows a normal closing state, and FIG. 11 (b) shows a state where the outer lid 2 is engaged with the inner lid 3 (a state where the inner lid 3 is opened or closed), This figure (c) has shown the state which put on the work table in the state which engaged the outer lid | cover 2 with the opened inner lid 3.

本発明は以上述べたような作用の下に中蓋3の脱着を図るものであるが、容器1としては例えば薬品等の容器、美容・化粧品の容器、更には液体調味料等の食品、食材容器等の多くの中蓋を具えた容器に適用し得るものである。   The present invention is intended to detach the inner lid 3 under the action as described above. Examples of the container 1 include containers for medicines, containers for beauty / cosmetics, foods such as liquid seasonings, and food ingredients. The present invention can be applied to containers having many inner lids such as containers.
