Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to sealing covers having opening taps for containers and, more particularly, to a sealing cover for containers which has an increased adhesive area between an opening tap and the sealing cover so that a user can easily remove the sealing cover from a container, and a method for manufacturing the sealing cover.
2. Description of the Related Art
Different kinds of sealing covers are used to seal apertures of containers.
Such sealing covers for containers have several functions such as a function of protecting the contents of a container, an easy-opening function, etc. The functions of the sealing covers also continue to evolve for the sake of consumer convenience.
Recently, high-frequency induction heating is mainly used to seal the aperture of a container with a sealing cover, whereby the sealability of the sealing cover can be enhanced.
In the high-frequency induction heating method, the sealing cover is disposed in a cap of the container before the container is coupled to the contents-filled container. Subsequently, the sealing cover adheres, through high-frequency induction heating, to a portion of the container that defines an aperture thereof.
However, in the above method, because the shape and size of the sealing cover that adheres to the container to seal the aperture are the same as those of the portion of the container that defines the aperture thereof, it is inconvenient for a user to remove the sealing cover from the container.
In an effort to overcome the above problem, several improved structures have been introduced. For example, there is a structure in which a tap protrudes outwards from a peripheral edge of the sealing cover, and a structure in which a semi-circular tap is provided on an upper surface of a sealing cover.
Particularly, as examples of the sealing cover having the semi-circular tap, products of Stanpac Inc. of Canada have been widely used and are being widely used.
However, the conventional sealing cover having the semi-circular tap is configured in such a way that an upper layer and a lower layer of the sealing cover adhere to each other only in a remaining semi-circular area of the sealing cover that is other than the tap. Therefore, if the strength with which the sealing cover adheres to the container is comparatively high, when a user grasps the semi-circular tap and pulls it to remove the sealing cover form the container, only the tap and a portion around the tap may be detached from the sealing cover rather than the entirety of the sealing cover being removed from the container. Moreover, there is a disadvantage in that, because of the problem, the size of the tap is limited.
FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate a conventional sealing cover.
FIG. 1A shows a circular sealing cover 30 which is provided with at least one small tap 30 a formed on a circumferential edge thereof so that a consumer can use the tap 30 a to open a container 10.
FIG. 1B shows a sealing cover 30 in which a polyester film layer 32 is formed on an upper surface of the sealing cover 30, wherein only a half of the polyester film layer 32 adheres to the sealing cover 30, and the other half thereof is used as an opening tap 32 a. When a consumer grasps the semi-circular opening tap 32 a and pulls it in the y-axis direction, the sealing cover 30 is removed from the container 10.
Particularly, the construction of the sealing cover (30; 32, 34) of FIG. 1B will be explained in detail below. The sealing cover 30 includes an upper layer 32 which is formed of a polyester film, and a lower layer 34 which adheres to a lower surface of the upper layer 32.
After an adhesive is applied to the lower surface of the polyester film that is the upper layer 32, a band-shaped film 36 or paper is interposed between the upper and lower layers 32 and 34 and bonded to the upper layer 32, and then the lower layer 34 adheres to the upper layer 32. Here, while an upper surface of the band-shaped film 36 first adheres to the upper layer 32, a lower surface of the band-shaped film 36 does not adhere to the lower layer 34. The portion of the upper layer 32 that does not adhere to the lower layer 34 due to the band-shaped film 36 forms the opening tap 32 a.
However, in this conventional technique, because only a half portion of the upper layer 32 that has a circular shape adheres to the lower layer 34, the adhesive strength therebetween is not sufficient. Furthermore, if the strength with which the sealing cover 30 adheres to the container 10 is comparatively high, when the opening tap 32 a is pulled, only the opening tap 32 a may be separated from the sealing cover 30 rather than the sealing cover 30 being removed from the container 10.
In other words, when the tap 32 a is pulled in the y-axis direction, as shown in the right view of FIG. 2, a phenomenon of only the tap 32 a being delaminated may be induced.
Meanwhile, in the case of a small sized sealing cover, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening tap 32 a provided on the upper layer 32 may have almost circular shape, rather than having a semi-circular shape, so as to allow a user to easily grasp the opening tap 32 a. In this case, the adhesive area between the polyester film that is the upper layer 32 and the lower layer 34 is further reduced. As a result, the delamination phenomenon is more easily caused.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, the construction and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a container provided with a container sealing cover (hereinafter, referred to as a sealing cover 400) according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 4, the sealing cover 400 according to the present invention has an opening tap 100 a on an upper surface thereof. An aperture 12 of the container is sealed with the sealing cover 400. Sealing the aperture 12 with the sealing cover 400 is sealing cover 400 can be achieved by high-frequency induction heating.
That is, the sealing cover 400 is thermally sealed to the container 10 by disposing the sealing cover 400 inside a container cap (not shown), closing the cap, and then high-frequency induction heating.
FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate a method of removing the sealing cover 400 from the container 10.
To enable a user to conveniently open the container 10 that is sealed with the sealing cover 400, the present invention is configured such that the sealing cover 400 is removed from the aperture 12 by rotating upwards the semi-circular or circular opening tap 100 a provided on the upper surface of the sealing cover 400 that has sealed the aperture 12 and pulling the opening tap 100 a in an y-axis direction.
FIG. 6 is a view showing the construction of the sealing cover 400 according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 6, the sealing cover 400 according to the present invention includes three layers, that is, a tap-forming layer 100, an intermediate substrate layer 200 and a sealing layer 300. The tap-forming layer 100 forms the opening tap 100 a. The intermediate substrate layer 200 functions to ensure close contact between the container 10 and the sealing cover 400 when the cap (not shown) having the sealing cover 400 therein is tightened over the container 10 and prevent heat generated from an aluminum foil layer by high-frequency induction heating from being transferred to the upper portion of the sealing cover 400. The sealing layer 300 substantially seals the container 10 and isolates contents in the container 10 from the outside.
The tap-forming layer 100 includes a surface layer 102, a first heat-adhesive resin layer 104, a folded film layer 106 and a second heat-adhesive resin layer 108.
The surface layer 102 is formed of a PET or PP film that has no heat adhesive property. The thickness of the surface layer 102 ranges from 0.012 mm to 0.05 mm. The inner or outer surface of the surface layer 102 can be printed by a gravure method.
The first heat-adhesive resin layer 104 adheres the folded film layer 106 to the surface layer 102.
The folded film layer 106 is provided to form the opening tap and formed of a PET or PP film that has no heat adhesive property. The thickness of the folded film layer 106 ranges from 0.012 mm to 0.05 mm. The folded film layer 106 has a band shape formed in such a way that the PET or PP film folds double with a width ranging from 20 mm to 150 mm.
In other words, the folded film layer 106 can be formed by folding the band-shaped PET or PP film having a predetermined width in half
The width of the folded film layer 106 is determined in response to the diameter of the aperture 12.
The second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 is provided under a lower surface of the folded film layer 106. In detail, the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 adheres both to the lower surface of the folded film layer 106 and the first heat-adhesive resin layer 104.
The intermediate substrate layer 200 is interposed between the tap-forming layer 100 and the sealing layer 300. The intermediate substrate layer 200 functions not only to provide a close contact effect and a shock absorbing effect when the cap (not shown) is coupled to a rim part of the container that defines the aperture 12 therein, but also to prevent heat generated from the aluminum foil layer 302 formed in a lower portion of the sealing cover from being transferred to the upper portion of the sealing cover when high-frequency induction heating adhesion is conducted.
The sealing layer 300 includes the aluminum foil layer 302 which substantially isolates the interior of the container 10 from the outside and generates heat through high-frequency induction heating, and a heat-sealing resin layer 304 which is provided under the aluminum foil layer 302 and is adhered to the rim part that defines the aperture 12 therein by heat generated from the aluminum foil layer 302.
Preferably, the heat-sealing resin layer 304 is formed of a film which is produced by a blown film method or by extrusion coating.
Referring to FIG. 6 again, both lower surface of the folded film layer 106 and a portion of the folded film layer 106 that adheres to the surface layer 102 form the opening tap 100 a. As such, because the opening tap 100 a has a double structure, the tensile strength thereof can be enhanced. Therefore, the present invention can prevent a phenomenon in which only the opening tap 100 a is removed from the sealing cover 400 when it is pulled.
Meanwhile, the length of the part that forms the opening tap 100 a and the length of the part that adheres to the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 are determined by a position at which the folded film layer 106 is cut to form the sealing cover 400. In other words, the position at which the folded film layer 106 is cut when the sealing cover 400 is manufactured can be appropriately adjusted in such a way that, in the case of the aperture that has a comparatively small area, both the length of the part that forms the opening tap 100 a and the length of the part that adheres to the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 are sufficiently long, and in the case of the aperture that has a comparatively large area, the length of the part that forms the opening tap 100 a is comparatively short while the length of the part that adheres to the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 is sufficiently long.
FIGS. 7 through 8 are views showing a method for manufacturing the sealing cover according to the present invention.
To form the semi-circular or circular opening tap 100 a on the upper surface of the sealing cover 400, as shown in FIG. 7A-1, a PET or PP film which has no heat adhesive property and has a thickness ranging from 0.012 mm to 0.05 mm and a width ranging from 20 mm to 150 mm may be folded on both sides thereof to form a folded film layer 106-1. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7A-2, the PET or PP film may be folded in half to form a folded film layer 106-2. As a further alternative, as shown in FIG. 7A-3, the PET or PP film may be rolled in a cylindrical shape by bonding the opposite edges thereof to each other and then pressed to be flat, thus forming a folded film layer 106-3. Here, the term “heat adhesive properties” means properties in which adhesive force occurs when it is heated, for example, by high-frequency induction heating. The width of the PET or PP film that is used to form the folded film layer can be appropriately determined depending on the diameter of the aperture of the container.
Thereafter, the surface layer 102, the intermediate substrate layer 200 and the sealing layer 300 are prepared.
Although the above-mentioned folded film layers 106 have different shapes, the final shape thereof becomes the same as that of FIG. 7B, and it is only a matter of whether the folded film layer 106 is cut in a row or two rows when it is cut to have a predetermined size and circular shape in which the product is finally disposed in the cap.
The folded film layer 106 formed by the above-mentioned method adheres to the lower surface of the surface layer 102 that is the uppermost surface of the sealing cover 400. The surface layer 102 is made of a PET or PP film which has no heat adhesive property and high tensile strength, and the thickness of which ranges 0.012 mm to 0.05 mm. Adhesion between the surface layer 102 and the folded film layer 106 is embodied by an extrusion lamination method in which adhesive resin is melted and applied therebetween and they are adhered to each other by extruding.
In this embodiment, the first heat-adhesive resin layer 104 that has a thickness ranging from 0.015 mm to 0.04 mm and contains polyolefin-based resin such as polyethylene, etc. EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or EAA (ethylene acrylic acid) is used in the extrusion lamination.
More preferably, because the surface layer 102 and the folded film layer 106 that is disposed under the first heat-adhesive resin layer 104 are made of PET films, ethylene-methacrylic acid-acrylate terpolymer resin, for example, which is produced by DuPont Inc. and sold in a brand name “Nucrel”, which can strongly adhere to a PET film without conducting a separate chemical primer process, is used.
In an actual production process, as shown in FIG. 7C-2, in consideration of the productivity, several folded film layers 106 are arranged at positions spaced apart from each other at appropriate intervals and adhere together to the lower surface of the surface layer 102 that is formed of a PET film having a comparatively large width.
After the first-step extrusion laminating process using the first heat-adhesive resin layer 104 has been conducted, as shown in FIGS. 8A-8C, the surface layer 102 and the folded film layer 106 that have adhered to each other through the first-step adhesion process adhere to the intermediate substrate layer 200, thus forming a second-step adhesion product.
The intermediate substrate layer 200 is formed of a polyolefin-based film or foam that has a thickness ranging from 0.03 mm to 3 mm.
The adhesion in the second-step adhesion process is embodied by extrusion lamination using the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 which is made of ethylene-methacrylic acid-acrylate terpolymer resin that is the same material as that of the first heat-adhesive resin layer 104.
The tap-forming layer 100 and the intermediate substrate layer 200 that have been formed through the above-mentioned process adhere at a lower surface thereof to the sealing layer 300 which substantially has container sealing function. The sealing layer 300 includes the aluminum foil layer 302 which is disposed at an upper position, and a heat-sealing resin layer 304 which is disposed at a lower position and has an easy peel seal function such that it can be easily sealed to the container 10.
The adhesion between the lower surface of the intermediate substrate layer 200 and the aluminum foil layer 302 of the sealing layer 300 is embodied by a dry lamination method which is a typical method of adhering plastic films to each other using a solvent-based urethane adhesive, or an extrusion lamination method in which the layers are laminated by melting raw material containing polyethylene, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), EMAA (ethylene-methacrylic acid-acrylate), etc. and by extruding the layers with the melted raw material.
As shown in examples of FIG. 9, the sealing cover 400 is formed in a circular shape corresponding to the size of the cap by cutting or punching the half-finished product manufactured through the above-mentioned process.
FIGS. 9A and 9B are views schematically illustrating a method of cutting out the sealing cover 400 according to the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, the length of the part that forms the opening tap 100 a and the length of the part that adheres to the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 are determined by a position at which the folded film layer 106 is cut to form the sealing cover 400.
As shown in FIG. 9B-1, with regard to the aperture that has a comparatively large area, the sealing cover 400 is formed such that the length of the part that forms the opening tap 100 a is comparatively short while the length of the part that adheres to the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 is sufficiently long.
Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 9B-2, with regard to the aperture that has a comparatively small area, the sealing cover 400 is formed such that both the length of the part that forms the opening tap 100 a and the length of the part that adheres to the second heat-adhesive resin layer 108 are sufficiently long.
Unlike the conventional sealing cover having the semi-circular opening tap, in the sealing cover according to the present invention, the opening tap which is provided on the upper surface of the sealing cover may not only have a semi-circular shape but may also have an almost circular shape, Therefore, a consumer can more conveniently and easily open the container.
Furthermore, with regard to adhesion between layers that forms the opening tap, in the sealing cover according to the present invention, because the layers that form the opening tap adhere to each other in the entire area thereof, a delamination phenomenon in which only the opening tap is removed from the sealing cover when the container is opened can be prevented. Therefore, the present invention can provide the container sealing cover that has a more reliable structure.
Although the container sealing cover having the opening tap and the method for manufacturing the sealing cover according to the embodiment of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.

The sealing cover as set forth in claim 13, wherein the first heat-adhesive resin layer and the second heat-adhesive resin layer are made of ethylene-methacrylic acid-acrylate terpolymer resin which is produced by DuPont Inc. and sold in a brand name “Nucrel” that is able to adhere to the PET or PP film without conducting a separate chemical primer process.

15. A method for manufacturing a sealing cover for a container, the sealing cover comprising: a tap-forming layer provided with an opening tap; and a sealing layer formed under the tap-forming layer, the sealing layer having a function of substantially sealing the container, the method comprising:

preparing a folded film layer formed by folding a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene) film double, the PET or PP film having no heat adhesive property and having a thickness ranging from 0.012 mm to 0.05 mm;

preparing a surface layer made of a PET or PP film having no heat adhesive property, the surface layer having a thickness ranging from 0.012 mm to 0.05 mm, an inner or outer surface of the surface layer being printed by a gravure method;

preparing a sealing layer to be adhered to the container to isolate an interior of the container from an exterior thereof;

a first adhesion operation of adhering the surface layer to an upper surface of the folded film layer using a first heat-adhesive resin layer;

a second adhesion operation, using a second heat-adhesive resin layer, of adhering the sealing layer both to a lower surface of the folded film layer and to a portion of the first heat-adhesive resin layer that is other than the lower surface of the folded film layer; and

cutting an output of the second adhesion operation such that a portion of a side of the folded film layer is removed, and forming the opening tap using a portion of the folded film layer.

16. The method as set forth in claim 15, wherein the first heat-adhesive resin layer is formed by an extrusion lamination method of melting adhesive resin and extrusion-adhering the surface layer to the folded film layer.

17. The method as set forth in claim 16, wherein the second heat-adhesive resin layer is formed by an extrusion lamination method of melting adhesive resin equal to the adhesive resin forming the first heat-adhesive resin layer and extrusion-adhering the sealing layer both to the lower surface of the folded film layer and to the portion of the first heat-adhesive resin layer that is other than the lower surface of the folded film layer.

18. The method as set forth in claim 15, wherein the folded film layer forms the opening tap using a structure in which when the folded film layer is cut into a size capable of being inserted into a cap, inner surfaces of the folded film layer that face each other do not adhere to each other.

19. The method as set forth in claim 15, wherein the folded film layer is folded double on one side or both sides thereof

20. The method as set forth in claim 15, wherein the folded film layer is folded double in such a way that a cylindrical film roll is pressed to be flat.

21. The method as set forth in claim 15, wherein the first heat-adhesive resin layer and the second heat-adhesive resin layer are made of any one among EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), EMAA (ethylene-methacrylic acid-acrylate) and polyolefin-based adhesive resin containing polyethylene.

22. The sealing cover as set forth in claim 21, wherein the first heat-adhesive resin layer and the second heat-adhesive resin layer are made of ethylene-methacrylic acid-acrylate terpolymer resin which is produced by DuPont Inc. and sold in a brand name “Nucrel” that is able to adhere to the PET or PP film without conducting a separate chemical primer process.
