Description

本発明は、レトルト殺菌される容器に用いられるキャップの製造方法に関し、特にキャップの内部に密封用のライナーが形成する製造方法に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of relates to the method of manufacturing a cap for use in containers to be retort sterilization, particularly liners for tightly sealing the interior of the capping.

金属製のボトル型缶などの容器には、ネジ式のキャップが用いられており、この種の容器では、開封した後に再度キャップを装着して再封止できるので、容器としての利便性が高い。また、この種の容器における内容物は飲料が大半であり、そのために容器の開口部(いわゆる口部)を液密状態に封止するために、キャップの内面には、口部に密着するライナーが設けられている。   Screw-type caps are used for containers such as metal bottle-shaped cans, and this type of container is highly convenient as a container because it can be re-sealed by attaching the cap again after opening. . In addition, most of the contents in this type of container are beverages. Therefore, in order to seal the opening (so-called mouth) of the container in a liquid-tight state, the inner surface of the cap is a liner that adheres to the mouth. Is provided.

ライナーは、容器の口部を密封するためのものであるから、口部に密着する必要があり、そのため従来では、キャップを容器の口部に装着する際にライナーを容器の口部に積極的に密着させている。その例が特許文献1ないし4などに記載されている。具体的には、天板部と、その周辺部に連続して形成された円筒状のスカート部とを備えたキャップシェルをアルミニウム合金などの金属板によって一体的に形成し、その天板部の内面における周辺部に、合成樹脂製のライナーを設け、そのキャップシェルを容器の口部に冠着した状態で、天板部の周辺部を絞り成形し、その内面に設けられているライナーの外周側の部分を、口部の上端部に形成されているカール部の外周面に密着させている。   Since the liner seals the mouth of the container, it needs to be in close contact with the mouth. Therefore, conventionally, when the cap is attached to the mouth of the container, the liner is positively attached to the mouth of the container. It is closely attached to. Examples thereof are described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 and the like. Specifically, a cap shell having a top plate portion and a cylindrical skirt portion formed continuously around the top portion is integrally formed of a metal plate such as an aluminum alloy, and the top plate portion A synthetic resin liner is provided on the periphery of the inner surface, and the outer periphery of the liner provided on the inner surface is formed by drawing the periphery of the top plate with the cap shell attached to the mouth of the container. The side portion is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the curl portion formed at the upper end portion of the mouth portion.

このようにキャップシェルに絞り加工を施すことにより、カール部に荷重が掛かるので、その荷重によるカール部の変形を防止する必要があり、例えば特許文献1に記載された発明では、ライナーの外周部に、カール部の内側に嵌合させられる内周側リブと、カール部の外周面に密着させられる外周側リブとを形成し、これらのリブの間にカール部の頂部を挿入させるように構成し、かつ各リブにおける内壁面(カール部に接触する面)で形成される凹部をいわゆる山形状としている。したがって、特許文献1に記載された発明では、カール部に掛かる荷重を低減して、その変形を防止できる、とされている。また、特許文献1の発明によれば、容器口部の密封性を十分に確保できるとともに、キャップの開閉を円滑にできる、とされている。さらに、特許文献2に記載された発明では、ライナーをカール部の外周面から離隔して位置させるように構成することにより、キャップシェルのコーナー部を絞り成形した際の荷重によりカール部が変形することを防止するようにしている。   By applying the drawing to the cap shell in this way, a load is applied to the curled portion, so it is necessary to prevent deformation of the curled portion due to the load. For example, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, the outer peripheral portion of the liner And forming an inner rib on the inner side of the curled portion and an outer rib on the outer peripheral surface of the curled portion, and inserting the top of the curled portion between the ribs. And the recessed part formed in the inner wall surface (surface which contacts a curl part) in each rib is made into what is called a mountain shape. Therefore, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is supposed that the load applied to the curled portion can be reduced and the deformation thereof can be prevented. In addition, according to the invention of Patent Document 1, it is said that the sealing performance of the container mouth portion can be sufficiently secured and the cap can be opened and closed smoothly. Furthermore, in the invention described in Patent Literature 2, the curl portion is deformed by a load when the corner portion of the cap shell is drawn by configuring the liner so as to be spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface of the curl portion. I try to prevent that.

一方、ライナーは、キャップシェルのコーナー部を絞り成形することに伴って変形するので、そのような変形の後においてもカール部との間に隙間を生じることなく密封性を維持する必要がある。そこで、例えば特許文献3に記載された発明では、ライナーの外周端を、ナール谷部の天板部側先端部よりも筒部開口端に延出させている。したがって、ライナーにおけるカール部の内側に嵌合するリング状凸部よりも外周側の部分は、ほぼ平板状の鍔部となっている。また、特許文献4に記載された発明では、ナール部より上方に、周方向に連続して延びる環状凹部が形成されている。   On the other hand, since the liner is deformed as the corner portion of the cap shell is drawn, it is necessary to maintain hermeticity without forming a gap with the curled portion even after such deformation. Therefore, for example, in the invention described in Patent Document 3, the outer peripheral end of the liner is extended to the cylindrical portion opening end from the top portion on the top side of the Nar valley. Therefore, the portion on the outer peripheral side of the ring-shaped convex portion that fits inside the curl portion of the liner is a substantially flat collar portion. Moreover, in the invention described in Patent Document 4, an annular recess that extends continuously in the circumferential direction is formed above the knurled portion.

さらに、ライナーに要求される特性は、上述した密封性および開栓性だけではないのであり、落下などによってキャップに衝撃力が作用した場合であっても密封状態を維持することが要求される。そこで、例えば特許文献5には、延伸性を高めることにより耐熱気密性および開栓性に加えて落下密封性を向上させるように組成を特定したライナーが開示されている。   Furthermore, the properties required for the liner are not limited to the above-described sealing property and openability, and it is required to maintain a sealed state even when an impact force is applied to the cap due to dropping or the like. Thus, for example, Patent Document 5 discloses a liner whose composition is specified so as to improve the drop sealing property in addition to the heat and air tightness and the plug-opening property by enhancing the stretchability.

上述した特許文献1ないし4に記載された発明では、ライナーの形状を工夫することにより、それぞれの発明における目的を達成するようにしているが、耐熱気密性および開栓性に加えて落下密封性の各特性を十分に満足することは難しい。これに対して特許文献5に記載された発明は、ライナーの組成を特定し、伸びに優れた耐熱性ライナーであり、耐熱気密性および開栓性ならびに落下密封性の各特性を向上させることができる。しかしながら、特許文献5に記載されている組成のライナーは、伸びに優れているために、特許文献1ないし4に記載されているような一般的な形状とした場合、カール部の外周面に大きく巻き付いた形状になって開栓トルクが増大する要因になったり、あるいはキャップシェルのコーナー部の内面から部分的に剥離して隙間が生じたり、さらには落下などによる衝撃を受けた場合に破断もしくは亀裂が生じる可能性があり、特許文献5に記載された組成による特性を生かしたライナーとするには未だ改善の余地があった。   In the inventions described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 described above, the shape of the liner is devised so as to achieve the object in each invention. It is difficult to satisfy each of these characteristics sufficiently. On the other hand, the invention described in Patent Document 5 is a heat-resistant liner that specifies the composition of the liner and is excellent in elongation, and can improve each characteristic of heat-resistant airtightness, plug-opening property, and drop-sealing property. it can. However, since the liner having the composition described in Patent Document 5 is excellent in elongation, when it has a general shape as described in Patent Documents 1 to 4, the liner has a large outer peripheral surface. It becomes a factor that increases the opening torque due to the wrapping shape, or it is partially peeled off from the inner surface of the corner of the cap shell to create a gap, or it breaks or breaks when it receives an impact due to dropping etc. There is a possibility that cracks may occur, and there is still room for improvement in order to obtain a liner that takes advantage of the characteristics of the composition described in Patent Document 5.

本発明は、上記の技術的課題に着目してなされたものであり、上記の特許文献5に記載された組成の合成樹脂のうち、性状を更に特定した樹脂を用い、耐熱気密性は勿論のこと、開栓性および落下密封性に優れたライナーを有するキャップの製造方法を提供することを目的とするものである。
The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above technical problems, and among the synthetic resins having the composition described in Patent Document 5, the resin having further specified properties is used, and the heat and air tightness is of course. it is an object to provide a method of manufacturing a cap having an excellent liner cap removal properties and fall sealability.

本発明によれば、ライナーが上記の組成物を素材として形成されているので、カール部に密着させるために天板部とスカート部との境界部分に絞り成形を施した場合、ライナーがカール部の外周面に隙間なく密着し、良好な密封性を得ることができる。特に、130℃で70%圧縮した後の復元率が60%以上、かつ130℃での伸び率が100%以上であることにより、容器が落下してキャップに衝撃力が作用した場合であっても、ライナーの割れや亀裂が生じにくく、落下密封性を良好なものとするができる。また、ライナーにおける各部の寸法を上記のように規定したことにより、上記の絞り成形を行った後のライナーが、カール部の外周面に過剰に回り込むことがなく、開栓トルクの増大を抑制して開栓性を良好なものにすることができる。特に、平坦部の厚さおよび絞り成形による圧縮量を上記のように規定したことにより、衝撃吸収力を十分大きくできるとともに、開栓トルクの増大を抑制でき、さらには密封性を良好なものとすることができる。総じて、本発明によれば、耐熱気密性は勿論のこと、開栓性および落下密封性に優れたライナーを有するキャップを得ることができる。   According to the present invention, since the liner is formed using the above composition as a raw material, when the drawing is applied to the boundary portion between the top plate portion and the skirt portion in order to adhere to the curled portion, the liner is the curled portion. It adheres to the outer peripheral surface of this without gaps, and good sealing properties can be obtained. In particular, when the recovery rate after compressing 70% at 130 ° C. is 60% or more and the elongation rate at 130 ° C. is 100% or more, the container falls and impact force acts on the cap. However, it is difficult for the liner to crack or crack, and the fall sealability can be improved. In addition, by defining the dimensions of each part of the liner as described above, the liner after the above-described drawing molding does not excessively wrap around the outer peripheral surface of the curled part, thereby suppressing an increase in the opening torque. Thus, the opening performance can be improved. In particular, by defining the thickness of the flat part and the compression amount by drawing as described above, it is possible to sufficiently increase the shock absorption capacity, suppress the increase in the opening torque, and further improve the sealing performance. can do. In general, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a cap having a liner excellent in openability and drop-sealing performance as well as heat and air tightness.

本発明のキャップは、130℃で30分ほどの条件でレトルト殺菌される容器の口部を密封するために用いられるキャップであり、特にその容器の口部が、断面がほぼ円形となるようにカール成形され、そのカール部に密着する合成樹脂製のライナーを内面に備えているキャップである。さらに、容器の再封止を可能にするために、ネジによって容器の口頸部に装着されるように構成されている。そのネジは、いわゆるロールオン成形されるようになっており、したがってネジ部やライナーを口部に密着させるための絞り成形の施されていないキャップシェルを金属素材によって作り、その内面に上記のライナーを設け、これをボトル型缶などの容器の口頸部に冠着し、その状態で、絞り成形およびネジ部のロールオン形成が行われる。   The cap of the present invention is a cap used to seal the mouth of a container to be sterilized by retort sterilization at 130 ° C. for about 30 minutes. In particular, the mouth of the container has a substantially circular cross section. This is a cap that is curled and has a synthetic resin liner on its inner surface that is in close contact with the curled portion. Furthermore, in order to enable resealing of the container, the container is configured to be attached to the mouth and neck of the container by a screw. The screw is so-called roll-on molded. Therefore, a cap shell that is not drawn is used to make the screw part or liner closely contact the mouth part, and the above liner is formed on the inner surface. It is provided and attached to the mouth and neck of a container such as a bottle-shaped can, and in that state, drawing and roll-on formation of the screw portion are performed.

そのキャップシェルの一例を図3に示してある。ここに示すキャップシェルは、アルミニウム合金板や表面処理鋼板等の従来から知られた金属製キャップ用の金属板を素材としてプレス加工によって成形されたものであり、円板状の天板部1と円筒形のスカート部2とをカップ状に一体成形したものである。また、絞り成形の後に、スカート部2の上部に凹部3aと凸部3bとが周方向全体に亘って交互に繰り返しているナール部3が形成され、そのナール部3の凹部3aの上部には、容器の開栓時に容器内部のガスを速やかに排出するために形成された周方向に延びるベントスリット4が形成される。また、スカート部2の下部には、複数のブリッジ5aと周方向に延びるスリット5bとによる破断ライン5が形成されており、スカート部2は破断ライン5よりも上方の主部と破断ライン5よりも下方のピルファープルーフバンド部6とに区画されている。   An example of the cap shell is shown in FIG. The cap shell shown here is formed by press working using a conventionally known metal plate for a metal cap such as an aluminum alloy plate or a surface-treated steel plate, and has a disk-shaped top plate portion 1 and A cylindrical skirt portion 2 is integrally formed in a cup shape. In addition, after the drawing, a knurl portion 3 in which the concave portions 3a and the convex portions 3b are alternately repeated over the entire circumferential direction is formed at the upper portion of the skirt portion 2, and the knurl portion 3 has an upper portion of the concave portion 3a. A vent slit 4 extending in the circumferential direction is formed so as to quickly discharge the gas inside the container when the container is opened. A rupture line 5 is formed at the lower portion of the skirt portion 2 by a plurality of bridges 5 a and slits 5 b extending in the circumferential direction. The skirt portion 2 is formed by a main portion above the rupture line 5 and a rupture line 5. Is also divided into a lower pilfer proof band portion 6.

また、キャップシェルの天板部1の内面には合成樹脂製の密封用のライナー7が形成されている。その素材は、耐熱仕様のレトルト用ライナー材として特別に開発されたものであって、より具体的には、前掲の特許第4319594号公報に記載されている組成物のうち、圧縮後の復元率および伸びに優れたものが使用されている。すなわち、その組成物は、
(A)230℃で荷重が21.18Nでは流動しない水素添加スチレン/共役ジエン系ブロック共重合体30〜50質量%と、
(B)流動パラフィン35〜50質量%と、
(C)ポリプロピレン系樹脂5〜30質量%と、
(D)シリコーンオイル0.2質量%以上とを含む樹脂組成物100質量部に対して、
(E)平均粒径0.1〜10μmの微粉末タルク0.1〜20質量部を含有し、「測定温度25℃における50%圧縮応力」が196N/cm〜490N/cm、(130℃における50%圧縮応力)/(25℃における50%圧縮応力)≧0.3の組成物であり、そのうちの特に、「130℃で70%圧縮した後の復元率が60%以上、かつ130℃での伸び率が100%以上」の組成物である。ここで、復元率と伸び率とを上記の範囲に規定しているのは、上記の復元率が60%を下回ると、容器が落下した場合などに衝撃力を受けるとライナー7が割れたり、亀裂が入ったりするからである。また、同様の理由で、伸び率を100%以上としたのである。なお、伸び率とは、厚さ2mmで各部の寸法が図4の試験片を、130℃の条件下で試験片に50mm/minの速度で引張荷重を加えたとき、試験片が破断した時点のチャック(つかみ具)間の距離の、元の距離に対する伸び量の割合である。
A sealing liner 7 made of synthetic resin is formed on the inner surface of the top plate portion 1 of the cap shell. The material was specially developed as a heat-resistant retort liner material, and more specifically, among the compositions described in the aforementioned Japanese Patent No. 4319594, the restoration rate after compression Those having excellent elongation are used. That is, the composition is
(A) Hydrogenated styrene / conjugated diene block copolymer 30 to 50% by mass that does not flow at 230 ° C. and a load of 21.18 N;

(E) 0.1 to 20 parts by mass of fine powder talc having an average particle size of 0.1 to 10 μm, and “50% compressive stress at a measurement temperature of 25 ° C.” is 196 N / cm 2 to 490 N / cm 2 , ( 50% compressive stress at 130 ° C.) / (50% compressive stress at 25 ° C.) ≧ 0.3, in particular, “the restoration rate after 70% compression at 130 ° C. is 60% or more, and A composition having an elongation at 130 ° C. of 100% or more. Here, the restoration rate and the elongation rate are defined in the above range because when the restoration rate is less than 60%, the liner 7 breaks when receiving an impact force such as when the container falls, This is because there are cracks. For the same reason, the elongation is set to 100% or more. The elongation is the time when the test piece breaks when a tensile load is applied to the test piece at a rate of 50 mm / min under the condition of 130 ° C. with the test piece of FIG. It is the ratio of the amount of elongation to the original distance of the distance between the chucks (grips).

ライナー7は、このような樹脂材料を溶融した状態で、キャップシェルの天板部1の内面側に供給し、その樹脂材料を金型により所定の形状に型押し成形したものであり、図1に示すように、天板部1の内面の中央部分を被覆する平板部7aと、天板部1の周辺部分に位置し、容器における口部の開口端を密封するための密封部とを一体に成形したものである。その密封部は、容器における口部の開口端部であるカール部8の頂部に密接される平坦部7bと、平坦部7bの内周縁から下方に突出するように形成され、カール部8の内周面に密接される内側リブ7cとを備えている。したがって、カール部8の内周面に対しては内側リブ7cを密着させ、カール部8の外周面に対しては、後述するコーナー部の絞り成形によって、前記平坦部7bを密着させるように構成されている。   The liner 7 is such that such a resin material is melted, supplied to the inner surface side of the top plate portion 1 of the cap shell, and the resin material is embossed into a predetermined shape by a mold. As shown in FIG. 4, the flat plate portion 7a covering the central portion of the inner surface of the top plate portion 1 and the sealing portion for sealing the open end of the mouth portion in the container are integrated with the peripheral portion of the top plate portion 1. It is molded into The sealing portion is formed so as to protrude downward from the inner peripheral edge of the flat portion 7b, and a flat portion 7b that is in close contact with the top of the curled portion 8 that is the open end of the mouth of the container. And an inner rib 7c in close contact with the peripheral surface. Therefore, the inner rib 7c is brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the curled portion 8, and the flat portion 7b is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the curled portion 8 by drawing forming of a corner portion described later. Has been.

上述したように、本発明におけるライナー7は伸びに優れた合成樹脂を素材としているので、カール部8に対して効果的に密着させることができるが、その半面、カール部8に過度に巻き付いて開栓トルクの増大要因になったり、あるいは伸びのためのいわゆる余肉が不足して隙間が生じたりする可能性がある。そこで、本発明ではライナー7の絞り成形前における各部の寸法を、その素材の特性をより良く生かすために以下のように設定してある。なお、以下に示す各部の寸法は、本発明者等の実験に基づいて求められたものである。   As described above, since the liner 7 in the present invention is made of a synthetic resin excellent in elongation, it can be effectively brought into close contact with the curled portion 8. There is a possibility that the opening torque may be increased, or a so-called surplus space for elongation is insufficient and a gap is generated. Therefore, in the present invention, the dimensions of each part of the liner 7 before drawing are set as follows in order to make better use of the characteristics of the material. In addition, the dimension of each part shown below was calculated | required based on experiment of this inventor.

本発明に係るライナー7は、上述したように、平坦部7bと内側リブ7cとを備えており、その平坦部7bの厚さL3は、カール部8の外周半径rの80%(r×4/5)〜150%(r×3/2)に設定されている。これは、カール部8の内径D0が20mmのボトル型缶を対象とする場合には、1mm〜1.7mmに相当する。   As described above, the liner 7 according to the present invention includes the flat portion 7b and the inner rib 7c, and the thickness L3 of the flat portion 7b is 80% of the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8 (r × 4). / 5) to 150% (r × 3/2). This corresponds to 1 mm to 1.7 mm in the case of a bottle-type can whose inner diameter D0 of the curled portion 8 is 20 mm.

平坦部7bの厚さL3がカール部8の外周半径rの80%(r×4/5)より薄い(1mm未満)と、天板部1とスカート部2との境界部分であるコーナー部に絞り成形を施すことにより平坦部7bに伸びが生じた場合、ライナー7の余肉が不足してライナー7とコーナー部の内面との間に隙間Cが生じる可能性が高くなる。図2に、コーナー部に絞り成形を施した後の形状を示してあり、絞り成形によって生じるコーナー部の内面と絞り成形によって引き延ばされたライナー7との間に上記の隙間Cが生じて密封性を確保できなくなる可能性が高くなる。また、平坦部7bの厚さL3がカール部8の外周半径rの150%(r×3/2)より厚い(1.7mm超)と、ライナー7を形成するための樹脂素材の量が過剰になってコストの増大要因となり、また、上述したコーナー部の絞り成形によって延ばされた前記平坦部7bの先端部が、図2に破線で示すA’部のように、カール部8の下側にまで流れ込み、これが要因となって開栓トルクが増大してしまう。このような理由で、平坦部7bの厚さL3を上記の範囲に規定してある。   When the thickness L3 of the flat portion 7b is thinner than 80% (r × 4/5) of the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8 (less than 1 mm), the corner portion which is a boundary portion between the top plate portion 1 and the skirt portion 2 is formed. When the flat portion 7b is stretched by drawing, there is a high possibility that a surplus of the liner 7 is insufficient and a gap C is generated between the liner 7 and the inner surface of the corner portion. FIG. 2 shows the shape after drawing the corner portion, and the gap C is generated between the inner surface of the corner portion generated by the drawing and the liner 7 stretched by the drawing. There is a high possibility that the sealing performance cannot be secured. Further, if the thickness L3 of the flat portion 7b is larger than 150% (r × 3/2) of the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8 (over 1.7 mm), the amount of the resin material for forming the liner 7 is excessive. As a result, the leading end of the flat portion 7b extended by the above-described drawing of the corner portion is below the curled portion 8 as indicated by the broken line A 'in FIG. This will cause the opening torque to increase. For this reason, the thickness L3 of the flat portion 7b is defined within the above range.

また、本発明では、絞り成形前における前記平坦部7bの長さを規定してある。具体的には、前述した構成のキャップシェルを容器の口部に冠着した状態、すなわち絞り成形前における平坦部7bの先端が、カール部8の最外周面から突出する長さL4は、(0≦L4≦r×0.65)に設定されている。すなわち、カール部8の外周半径rの65%以下であり、これは、上述したボトル型缶を対象とする場合には、0.8mm以下である。   In the present invention, the length of the flat portion 7b before drawing is defined. Specifically, the length L4 at which the tip of the flat portion 7b before the draw molding projects from the outermost peripheral surface of the curled portion 8 is the state in which the cap shell having the above-described configuration is attached to the mouth portion of the container. 0 ≦ L4 ≦ r × 0.65). That is, it is 65% or less of the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8, which is 0.8 mm or less when the bottle-type can described above is targeted.

絞り成形前における平坦部7bのカール部8からのいわゆる突出長さL4が「0」未満であると、すなわち平坦部7bの先端がカール部8の最外周面から内周側に後退していると、コーナー部の絞り成形によってカール部8の外周面に密着するライナー7の長さ(もしくは幅)が不足し、その結果、密封性が悪くなる可能性が高くなる。また反対に、絞り成形前における平坦部7bのカール部8からのいわゆる突出長さL4がカール部8の外周半径rの65%を超えると、上述したコーナー部の絞り成形によって延ばされた前記平坦部7bの先端部が、図2に破線で示すA’部のように、カール部8の下側にまで流れ込み、これが要因となって開栓トルクが増大してしまう。このような理由で、絞り成形前における平坦部7bのカール部8からのいわゆる突出長さL4を上記の範囲に規定してある。   If the so-called protruding length L4 of the flat portion 7b from the curled portion 8 before drawing is less than "0", that is, the tip of the flat portion 7b is retreated from the outermost peripheral surface of the curled portion 8 to the inner peripheral side. Then, the length (or width) of the liner 7 that is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the curled portion 8 due to the drawing of the corner portion is insufficient, and as a result, the possibility that the sealing performance is deteriorated increases. On the other hand, when the so-called projecting length L4 of the flat portion 7b from the curled portion 8 before drawing exceeds 65% of the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8, the above-described corner portion is drawn by drawing. The leading end of the flat portion 7b flows down to the lower side of the curled portion 8, as indicated by the broken line A 'in FIG. 2, and this increases the plug opening torque. For this reason, the so-called protrusion length L4 from the curled portion 8 of the flat portion 7b before the drawing is defined in the above range.

一方、本発明におけるライナー7の内側リブ7cは、外周面7coがテーパー形状であり、かつ内周面7ciが円筒形状をなすように構成されている。その外周面7coは、前記口部における前記カール部8の中心Oの半径位置より口部の中心側に寄った位置から図1での斜め下方に向けて形成されたテーパー面であり、そのテーパー面の母線角度θすなわち口部の中心軸線と平行な軸線に対する外周面7coの傾斜角は、15°〜45°に設定されている。そして、その外周面7coの最大外径D1すなわち前記平坦部7bと外周面7coとの交点の径D1はD0がφ20mmの時、21.5mm〜22.5mmに設定されている。   On the other hand, the inner rib 7c of the liner 7 in the present invention is configured such that the outer peripheral surface 7co has a tapered shape and the inner peripheral surface 7ci has a cylindrical shape. The outer peripheral surface 7co is a tapered surface formed obliquely downward in FIG. 1 from a position closer to the center side of the mouth portion than a radial position of the center O of the curled portion 8 in the mouth portion. The inclination angle of the outer peripheral surface 7co with respect to the genera angle θ of the surface, that is, the axis parallel to the center axis of the mouth is set to 15 ° to 45 °. The maximum outer diameter D1 of the outer peripheral surface 7co, that is, the diameter D1 of the intersection between the flat portion 7b and the outer peripheral surface 7co is set to 21.5 mm to 22.5 mm when D0 is φ20 mm.

上記の母線角度θが15°未満であると、すなわち外周面7coが平坦部7bに対して、より垂直に近くなると、キャップシェルを容器の口部に冠着させる際に、カール部8に対する内側リブ7cの掛かり具合が悪くなってキャッピング不良や密封不良が生じ易くなる。また、母線角度θが45°を超えると、同様に、キャッピング不良や密封不良が生じ易くなり、これに加えて前記平坦部7bのうち内側リブ7cに繋がる部分(言い換えれば内側リブ7cの基礎となる部分)Xの剛性が低下し、前記コーナー部の絞り成形に伴ってキャップシェルがカール部8に押し付けられた場合に材料の流れが促進され、その結果、前記平坦部7bの先端部が、図2に破線で示すA’部のように、カール部8の下側にまで流れ込み、これが要因となって開栓トルクが増大してしまう。このような理由で、絞り成形前における内側リブ7cの母線角度θを上記の範囲に規定してある。   When the generatrix angle θ is less than 15 °, that is, when the outer peripheral surface 7co is closer to the flat part 7b, the inner side of the curl part 8 is attached when the cap shell is crowned on the mouth of the container. The hooking condition of the rib 7c is deteriorated, and capping failure and sealing failure are likely to occur. Similarly, when the bus angle θ exceeds 45 °, capping failure and sealing failure are likely to occur, and in addition to this, the portion of the flat portion 7b connected to the inner rib 7c (in other words, the basis of the inner rib 7c) When the cap shell is pressed against the curled portion 8 as the corner portion is drawn, the material flow is promoted. As a result, the tip of the flat portion 7b is As shown by the broken line A ′ in FIG. 2, the curled portion 8 flows to the lower side, which causes the opening torque to increase. For this reason, the generatrix angle θ of the inner rib 7c before drawing is defined in the above range.

同様の理由で、内側リブ7cの基端部(内側リブ7cと前記平坦部7bとの境界部分)の厚さ(口部の半径方向に測った幅:以下、最大幅と記す)L1と、内側リブ7cの長さL2とが以下の範囲に設定されている。すなわち、内側リブ7cの最大幅L1は、カール部8の外周半径rに対して、(r/2≦L1≦3/2r)に設定されている。すなわち、カール部8の外周半径rの1/2倍以上、3/2倍以下に設定されており、これは前述したボトル型缶を対象とする場合には、0.6mm〜1.8mmの範囲である。また、内側リブ7cの長さL2は、カール部8の外周半径rに対して、(r×0.6≦L2≦r×1.5)に設定されている。すなわち、カール部8の外周半径rの0.6倍以上、1.5倍以下に設定されており、これは前述したボトル型缶を対象とする場合には、0.7mm〜1.9mmの範囲である。   For the same reason, the thickness of the base end portion of the inner rib 7c (the boundary portion between the inner rib 7c and the flat portion 7b) (width measured in the radial direction of the mouth portion: hereinafter referred to as the maximum width) L1, The length L2 of the inner rib 7c is set in the following range. That is, the maximum width L1 of the inner rib 7c is set to (r / 2 ≦ L1 ≦ 3 / 2r) with respect to the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8. That is, it is set to be not less than 1/2 times and not more than 3/2 times the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8, which is 0.6 mm to 1.8 mm when the bottle-shaped can described above is targeted. It is a range. The length L2 of the inner rib 7c is set to (r × 0.6 ≦ L2 ≦ r × 1.5) with respect to the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8. That is, it is set to be 0.6 times or more and 1.5 times or less of the outer peripheral radius r of the curled portion 8, which is 0.7 mm to 1.9 mm when the bottle-shaped can described above is targeted. It is a range.

これら内側リブ7cの最大幅L1および長さL2が上記の範囲を下回ると、剛性の低下によって、前記平坦部7bの先端部が、図2に破線で示すA’部のように、カール部8の下側にまで流れ込み、これが要因となって開栓トルクが増大してしまう。反対に上記の範囲を超えると、ライナー7を形成するための樹脂素材の量が過剰になってコストの増大要因となる。   When the maximum width L1 and length L2 of these inner ribs 7c are below the above range, the curled portion 8 becomes like the A ′ portion indicated by the broken line in FIG. It will flow to the lower side of this and this will cause the opening torque to increase. On the contrary, if the above range is exceeded, the amount of the resin material for forming the liner 7 becomes excessive, which causes an increase in cost.

さらに、本発明に係るキャップでは、天板部1とスカート部2との境界部分であるコーナー部に絞り成形が施されてライナー7がカール部8の外周面に密着させられる。その場合、ライナー7は圧縮されるとともに材料の流動(伸び)が生じるので、上述した平坦部7bの圧縮量が以下の範囲となるように絞り成形が行われる。すなわち、コーナー部の絞り成形を行った後における前記カール部8の頂部側(図2での上側)のライナー7の厚さT1と絞り成形前の平坦部7bの厚さL3との比率(T1/L3)、およびコーナー部の絞り成形を行った後における前記口部の半径方向で外側(図2での左側)のライナー7の厚さT2と絞り成形前の平坦部7bの厚さL3との比率(T2/L3)のそれぞれが、0.1〜0.4に設定されている。   Furthermore, in the cap according to the present invention, the corner portion which is the boundary portion between the top plate portion 1 and the skirt portion 2 is drawn and the liner 7 is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the curled portion 8. In that case, since the liner 7 is compressed and the material flows (elongates), the drawing is performed so that the amount of compression of the flat portion 7b described above falls within the following range. That is, the ratio (T1) between the thickness T1 of the liner 7 on the top side (upper side in FIG. 2) of the curled portion 8 and the thickness L3 of the flat portion 7b before drawing after the corner portion is drawn. / L3), and the thickness T2 of the liner 7 on the outer side (left side in FIG. 2) in the radial direction of the mouth after the drawing of the corner portion and the thickness L3 of the flat portion 7b before the drawing. Each ratio (T2 / L3) is set to 0.1 to 0.4.

これらの比率(T1/L3,T2/L3)が0.1未満となると、ライナー7が過剰に圧縮された状態となってライナー7が絞り成形時に樹脂割れが発生する可能性が高く、またライナー7による衝撃吸収力が低減し、またライナー7がカール部8を強く締め付けて開栓トルクが増大してしまう。また反対に上記の各比率が0.4を超えると、ライナー7の圧縮応力が不足して容器の口部を良好に密封する状態を維持できなくなる可能性が高くなる。   When these ratios (T1 / L3, T2 / L3) are less than 0.1, the liner 7 is in an excessively compressed state, and the liner 7 is highly likely to cause resin cracking during drawing. 7 reduces the shock absorbing force, and the liner 7 strongly tightens the curled portion 8 to increase the opening torque. On the other hand, if each of the above ratios exceeds 0.4, there is a high possibility that the compressive stress of the liner 7 is insufficient and the state in which the container mouth is well sealed cannot be maintained.

なお、参考として、前記内側リブ7cにおける外周面7coの後退量L5、すなわち口部の半径方向で図った前記外周面7coの基端部の位置と外周面7coの先端(図1での下端)との位置の寸法差L5は、(0.4×r≦L5≦0.7×r)とすることが好ましい。前述したボトル型缶を対象とする場合には、0.5mm以上で0.8mm以下の範囲である。r×0.4mm未満であると、前述したキャッピング不良や密封不良が生じ易くなり、また反対にr×0.7mmを超えると、キャッピング時に内側リブ7cがカール部8に対して掛かり難くなって密封不良が生じ易くなるとともに、平坦部7bのうち内側リブ7cの基礎となる部分の剛性が不足して、前記平坦部7bの先端部が、図2に破線で示すA’部のように、カール部8の下側にまで流れ込み、これが要因となって開栓トルクが増大してしまう。   For reference, the retraction amount L5 of the outer peripheral surface 7co of the inner rib 7c, that is, the position of the base end portion of the outer peripheral surface 7co and the distal end of the outer peripheral surface 7co (lower end in FIG. 1) as viewed in the radial direction of the mouth. The dimensional difference L5 between and is preferably (0.4 × r ≦ L5 ≦ 0.7 × r). When the bottle-shaped can described above is the target, the range is 0.5 mm or more and 0.8 mm or less. If it is less than r × 0.4 mm, the above-mentioned capping failure or sealing failure is likely to occur. Conversely, if it exceeds r × 0.7 mm, the inner rib 7c is less likely to be hooked against the curled portion 8 during capping. Sealing failure is likely to occur, the rigidity of the portion of the flat portion 7b that is the basis of the inner rib 7c is insufficient, and the tip portion of the flat portion 7b is like an A ′ portion indicated by a broken line in FIG. The curled portion 8 flows down to the lower side, which causes the opening torque to increase.

(Evaluation)
Using the compositions of the present invention and comparative examples (synthetic resins), a liner is formed on the inner surface of the cap shell, and the liner is attached to the mouth of the bottle-shaped can. A cap was attached. The contents of the bottle-shaped can were water, and the amount was 500 ml. After mounting the cap, the test can which was retorted at 130 ° C. for 30 minutes was dropped from a height of 50 cm onto an iron jig with an inclination angle of 10 degrees with the cap facing downward, and the state of the liner was visually observed. As a result of the examination, no cracking or cracking of the liner was observed in the inventive examples. On the other hand, in the comparative example, cracks and cracks were observed in the liner of the 80% bottle-type can.
