Abstract

A container capable of releasing to the outside of a container body a fermentation gas or an expansion gas by microwave-oven heating without liquid leaking. The opening end of a container body (1) is provided with annular sealing surface portions (21, 22) and a support surface portion (23), with the support surface portion projecting slightly upward beyond the sealing surface portions. The peripheral edge of a lid, covering the opening end so as to form spaces (9, 10) on the inner and outer sides of the support surface portion, is in close contact with the support surface portion and sealingly attached to the sealing surface portion. Communication passages (6, 7) for allowing the interior or exterior of the container body to communicate with the spaces are formed at the sealing surface portions. A fluid passage formed by the communication passages and the spaces works as an interior shut-off passage for sealing against liquid and content in the container body at a close contact portion (8) between the support surface portion and the lid peripheral edge. It works as a series of fluid passages for passing the pressurized gas generated in the container body with the close contact portion forcibly separated.

例えば、 キムチや漬物などの醱酵品を収容した容器では、 密封後、 収 容物が、 内部で醱酵を継続し、 ガスを発生させる。 ガスは、 醱酵の進行 に伴い、 容器内に充満して蓋体あるいは容器本体を膨らませ、 場合によ つてはこれら破裂させることもある。 これを解消するためには、 ガス抜 き孔を容器本体あるいは蓋体に設ければ良いが、 収容物には液分が含ま れているために、 運搬中などにガス抜き孔から容易に液分が漏出する。 また、 電子レンジ調理用の密封食品の場合、 電子レンジによる加熱あ るいは加温時間が長すぎると、 容器内の水蒸気などが膨張して破裂等、 同様な事態を生じる。  For example, in a container containing fermented products such as kimchi and pickles, after sealing, the contents continue fermentation inside and generate gas. As the fermentation progresses, the gas fills the container and inflates the lid or the container body, and in some cases, may explode. In order to solve this problem, a gas vent hole may be provided in the container body or the lid.However, since the contents contain liquid, the liquid can be easily discharged from the gas vent hole during transportation. Minutes leak. Also, in the case of sealed foods for microwave cooking, if the heating or heating time by the microwave oven is too long, the water vapor and the like in the container expands and causes a similar situation such as rupture.

醱酵食品 Aのガス膨張による蓋体損壌等を回避するために、 従来の容 器では、 例えば図 1 4に示すように、 ガスを吸着する袋状の吸着材 Bを 蓋体 Cの裏面に貼着してある。  回避 To avoid lid loss due to gas expansion of fermented food A, in a conventional container, for example, as shown in Fig. 14, a bag-shaped adsorbent B that absorbs gas is placed on the back of lid C. It is stuck on.

しかし、 こう した容器では、 蓋体 Cを容器本体 Dの開口端面あるいは フランジ部に熱溶着等して封着する前に、 蓋体 Cの裏面に吸着材 Bを止 着しなければならない。 吸着材 Bを取付ける作業は、 通常、 人手を介し て行われるため、 製造効率が悪い。 また、 吸着材 Bを用いる分、 製造コ ス トも上昇する。  However, in such a container, the adsorbent B must be fixed to the back surface of the lid C before the lid C is sealed to the opening end face or the flange portion of the container body D by heat welding or the like. Since the work of installing the adsorbent B is usually performed manually, the production efficiency is low. In addition, the production cost increases because of the use of the adsorbent B.

電子レンジ調理食品を収容した容器の場合、 内部気体膨脹による事故 を回避する具体的な手段は講じられていない。  No specific measures have been taken to avoid accidents due to gas inflation in containers containing microwave cooked food.

本発明の目的は、 液漏れさせることなく密封容器本体内のガスのみを 容器本体外へ逃がして、 ガス膨満による種々の不都合が生じるのを解消 する容器を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to eliminate only the gas inside a sealed container main body without leaking out of the container main body, thereby eliminating various inconveniences caused by gas swelling. To provide containers for

発明の開示  Disclosure of the invention

本発明 (請求項 1記載の発明) の容器は、 容器本体とその開口を覆う 蓋体とを備える。 容器本体と蓋体との封止部に、 容器本体内の液もしく は収容物は外部に漏出しにく く、 電子レンジの加熱などによって容器本 体内で発生するガスもしくは膨張気体等の圧力気体は漏出可能な流体通 路を設けてある。  The container of the present invention (the invention according to claim 1) includes a container main body and a lid that covers an opening of the container main body. The liquid or container inside the container body is not easily leaked to the sealed part between the container body and the lid, and the pressure of gas or expanding gas generated inside the container body by heating the microwave oven, etc. Gas is provided with a fluid passage that can leak.

流体通路は、 容器本体と蓋体との封止部、 すなわち容器本体の開口端 面 (フランジ部を含む) と蓋体の周縁部との封止部に設けられる。 封止 部は、 容器本体と蓋体とが封をされる部分であり、 容器本体と蓋体との 間に中間部材を介装する場合を含む。 中間部材を介装する場合、 その内 部に後述する流体通路が設けられる。 中間部材の流体通路は、 容器本体 側の部分と蓋体側の部分に後述の構成がそれぞれ適用される。 封止手段 には、 熱溶着、 接着、.あるいは他の固着、 止め手段を含み、 蓋体と容器 本体の素材によって適宜選択される。 蓋体は、 封止部がプラスチックフ イルムシートなどのシート材その他の柔軟性素材によつて形成されてお り、 必要に応じて表面に適宜の印刷等が施される。 封止手段が剥離不能 なものの場合、蓋体は適宜の器具によって切除するなどして開放される。 なお、 蓋体の全体は、 柔軟性素材によって形成される必要はなく、 厚み や高さのあるものであっても良レ、。  The fluid passage is provided in a sealed portion between the container body and the lid, that is, a sealed portion between the opening end surface (including the flange portion) of the container body and the peripheral portion of the lid. The sealing portion is a portion where the container body and the lid are sealed, and includes a case where an intermediate member is interposed between the container body and the lid. When an intermediate member is interposed, a fluid passage described later is provided inside the intermediate member. Regarding the fluid passage of the intermediate member, the configuration described later is applied to the portion on the container body side and the portion on the lid body side. The sealing means includes heat welding, bonding, or other fixing and stopping means, and is appropriately selected depending on the materials of the lid and the container body. The lid has a sealing portion made of a sheet material such as a plastic film sheet or other flexible materials, and the surface is appropriately printed as necessary. If the sealing means cannot be peeled off, the lid is opened by cutting it off with an appropriate instrument. The entire lid does not need to be formed of a flexible material, and may be thick or tall.

流体通路の形成には、 次の手段を採用する。  The following means are used to form the fluid passage.

蓋体が封止される容器本体の開口端面に、 開口に沿って環状を成す封 着面部を径方向に間隔を置いて複数形成するとともにこれらの封着面部 間にあって封着面部よりも上方に突出する支持面部を同様に環状に形成 する。 支持面部の内外両側方に空隙部が形成されるようにして上記開口 端面を覆う蓋体の周縁部を、 支持面部上端に密着させるとともに封着面 部に対して封着する。蓋体周縁部は、封着面部に対して固着される一方、 支持面部に対しては固着されることなく密着されるに止まる。 封着面部 には、 それぞれ当該封着面部を横切り、 容器本体内部もしくは容器本体 外部を上記空隙部と連通させる連通路を形成する。 そして、 これら連通 路と上記空隙部とによって形成される流体通路は、 容器本体内の液もし くは収容物に対しては支持面部と蓋体周縁部との密着部において封止す る内部遮断通路を成す一方、 容器本体内で発生するガスもしくは膨張気 体等の圧力気体に対しては上記密着部が強制的に引き離されることによ りこれを通過させて、 容器本体内部から外部にかけての一連の流体通過 路を成す。 On the opening end surface of the container body in which the lid is sealed, a plurality of annular sealing surfaces are formed at intervals in the radial direction along the opening, and between the sealing surfaces, above the sealing surface. The protruding support surface is similarly formed in an annular shape. The peripheral portion of the lid covering the opening end surface is brought into close contact with the upper end of the support surface portion and is sealed to the sealing surface portion so that voids are formed on both sides of the inside and outside of the support surface portion. The peripheral edge portion of the lid is fixed to the sealing surface portion, but only adheres to the supporting surface portion without being fixed. The sealing surface traverses the sealing surface, respectively, inside the container body or the container body. A communication path for communicating the outside with the gap is formed. The fluid passage formed by these communication passages and the above-mentioned voids is an internal shut-off for sealing the liquid or the contents in the container body at the close contact portion between the support surface and the peripheral edge of the lid. While forming the passage, the above-mentioned close contact portion is forcibly separated from the gas generated in the container body or the pressurized gas such as the expanding gas, and is allowed to pass therethrough. It forms a series of fluid passages.

蓋体周縁部が封着される容器本体の開口端面は、 容器本体の肉厚が厚 い場合など容器本体の上端面であり、 比較的薄い肉厚の場合など容器本 体の開口端から外方に張出し形成されたフランジ部上面である。  The open end face of the container body to which the lid peripheral edge is sealed is the upper end face of the container body when the thickness of the container body is large, and is outside the open end of the container body when the thickness is relatively thin. It is an upper surface of the flange portion formed to protrude in the direction.

封着面部は、 開口端面において蓋体周縁部が封着される部位であり、 開口に沿って環状を成す。 封着面部は、 開口端面の径方向 (幅方向) に 間隔をおいて少なく とも 2つ設けられる。 封着面部への封着のし方は、 熱溶着、 接着などの固定手段の如何を問わない。  The sealing surface portion is a portion where the peripheral edge portion of the lid is sealed at the opening end surface, and forms an annular shape along the opening. At least two sealing surfaces are provided at intervals in the radial direction (width direction) of the opening end surface. The method of sealing to the sealing surface is not limited to any fixing means such as heat welding and bonding.

封着面部間に設けられる支持面部は、封着面部より も上方に突出する。 支持面部は、 例えば断面台形状に形成される。 支持面部の上端面と蓋体 周縁部とは、 上記したように封着されることなく密着状態を保つ。 支持 面部が封着面部より も上方に突出することから、 開口端面を覆う蓋体周 縁部と支持面部両側との間に、 空隙部が形成される。 支持面部両側と封 着面部との間に滞留溝を形成しない場合には、 この空隙部が液の滞留空 間とガスの通過路を兼用する。 したがって、 支持面部は、 例えば滞留溝 のない場合、ある場合に比べて突出程度を大きく設定するのが望ましい。 また、 密着部は、 蓋体の素材は容器の大きさなどに応じて断続的な固 着部を設けるものであっても良い。  The support surface provided between the sealing surfaces protrudes above the sealing surface. The support surface is formed, for example, in a trapezoidal cross section. The upper end surface of the support surface and the peripheral edge of the lid are kept in close contact with each other without being sealed as described above. Since the support surface protrudes above the sealing surface, a gap is formed between the periphery of the lid covering the opening end surface and both sides of the support surface. When no retaining groove is formed between both sides of the support surface and the sealing surface, this void serves as both a liquid retaining space and a gas passage. Therefore, it is desirable to set the degree of protrusion of the support surface portion to be larger when there is no retaining groove than when it is present. Further, the contact portion may be provided with an intermittent fixing portion depending on the size of the container or the like as the material of the lid.

封着面部と支持面部との間、 特に最も内側の封着面部とこれと隣り合 う支持面部との間には環状の滞留溝を形成すると良い。 勿論、 支持面部 と封着部との間には、すべて環状の滞留溝を形成するようにしても良い。 例えば、 封着面部が容器本体の開口端面に 2つ設けられ、 支持面部が容 器本体の開口端面の封着面部間に一つ形成される場合、 内側の装着面部 と支持面部の間、 及び外側の装着面部と支持面部との間にそれぞれ内側 滞留溝と外側滞留溝が形成される。 An annular retaining groove is preferably formed between the sealing surface and the support surface, particularly between the innermost sealing surface and the adjacent support surface. Of course, an annular retaining groove may be formed between the support surface portion and the sealing portion. For example, when two sealing surfaces are provided on the opening end surface of the container body and one supporting surface portion is formed between the sealing surfaces on the opening end surface of the container body, the inner mounting surface portion An inner retaining groove and an outer retaining groove are formed between the first and second supporting surfaces and between the outer mounting surface and the outer supporting surface, respectively.

封着面部には、上記空隙部と連通する連通路が設けられる。連通路は、 一般的には面上の溝と して形成される。 滞留溝が形成されている場合に は、 連通路は封着面部の壁面に貫通形成されるようにしても良い。 複数 の装着面部にそれぞれ形成される連通路は、 その位置関係及び数を別段 制限されるものではないが、 周方向の対極位置に設けるのが望ましい。 連通路と空隙部によって形成される流体通路は、 醱酵ガスや加熱気体 のような圧力気体に対しては、 支持面部上端と蓋体周縁部との密着部が 圧力によって引き離されて一連の流体通過路を形成することから、 支持 面部上端と蓋体周縁部との密着状態はこれを考慮して密着度が設定され る。  A communication passage communicating with the gap is provided in the sealing surface. The communication passage is generally formed as a groove on the surface. When the retaining groove is formed, the communication passage may be formed to penetrate the wall surface of the sealing surface. Although the positional relationship and the number of the communication passages respectively formed in the plurality of mounting surface portions are not particularly limited, it is preferable that the communication passages be provided at the counter electrodes in the circumferential direction. The fluid passage formed by the communication passage and the cavity is a series of fluids for pressure gas such as fermentation gas or heated gas, in which the contact portion between the upper end of the support surface and the peripheral edge of the lid is separated by pressure. Since the passage is formed, the degree of adhesion between the upper end of the support surface and the peripheral edge of the lid is set in consideration of this.

上記した発明に係る容器は、 容器本体に蓋体周縁部を封着させる環状 の封着面部を複数設けるとともにこれらの封着面部の間に封着面部より も上方に突出する環状の支持面部を設け、 環状の支持面部上端と蓋体周 縁部との接触部を密着するだけにとどめてあるので、 封着面部に設けた 連通路と支持体両側の空隙部とによって形成される流体通路が、 液に対 しては密着部で流出を阻止する一方、 圧力気体に対しては密着部をわず かに引き離してこれを通過させることとなり、 容器本体内で発生する醱 酵ガスあるいは電子レンジ加熱に伴う膨張気体等の圧力気体を、 液漏れ を起こさせることなく容器本体外に有効に逃がすことができ、 ガス膨満 による容器本体や蓋体の破損を防止できる。 また、 この容器は、 容器本 体の開口端面の一部を蓋体の封着面とするので、 開口端面の全体を封着 面にする場合に比べて、 蓋体を解放し易くなる。  The container according to the above-mentioned invention is provided with a plurality of annular sealing surfaces for sealing the peripheral portion of the lid to the container body, and an annular supporting surface protruding above the sealing surface between the sealing surfaces. Since the contact portion between the upper end of the annular support surface and the peripheral portion of the lid is only in close contact with each other, the fluid passage formed by the communication passage provided on the sealing surface and the gap on both sides of the support is provided. However, while the liquid is prevented from flowing out at the contact portion, the contact portion is slightly separated from the pressurized gas and passes through the contact portion. Pressure gas such as inflation gas caused by heating can be effectively released to the outside of the container body without causing liquid leakage, and damage to the container body and the lid due to gas expansion can be prevented. Further, in this container, since a part of the opening end face of the container body is used as the sealing surface of the lid, the lid can be easily released as compared with the case where the entire opening end face is used as the sealing surface.

別の発明 (請求項 7記載の発明) は、 容器本体と盞体とが着脱自在な 形式の容器に本発明を適用したものである。 この場合、 蓋体は、 下面に 環状の内溝と外溝を有するリング体と、 リング体のリ ング内空間を埋め る柔軟なシート体とから成る。 リング体の外溝には雌ネジが形成され、 内溝は溝開口部をシー ト体の周縁部によって覆われる。 一方、 容器本体 は、 蓋体が封止される開口端面に、 蓋体の上記外溝内の雌ネジと螺合す る雄ネジを有する環状の外リブと、 蓋体の内溝に入り込む内リブとを有 する。 シート体は、 例えば周縁部の端部を外溝内に入り込ませてそこに 固着することで、 容器本体と一体化される。 Another invention (the invention according to claim 7) is an application of the present invention to a container in which the container body and the sorghum are removable. In this case, the lid is composed of a ring having a ring-shaped inner groove and an outer groove on the lower surface, and a flexible sheet that fills the space inside the ring of the ring. A female screw is formed in the outer groove of the ring body, and the inner groove covers the groove opening by the peripheral edge of the sheet body. Meanwhile, the container body Has, on an open end face where the lid is sealed, an annular outer rib having a male screw that is screwed into the female screw in the outer groove of the lid, and an inner rib that enters the inner groove of the lid. I do. The sheet body is integrated with the container body by, for example, inserting the end of the peripheral portion into the outer groove and fixing it to the outer groove.

容器本体と蓋体は、 外リブと外溝を螺合して容器本体を蓋体に被冠し たときに、 リング体内溝の溝開口部を覆うシート体周縁部の下面と容器 本体の開口端面との間に、 容器本体内部と連通可能で、 容器本体の内リ ブ上端の支持部がシー ト体周縁部下面と密着する密着部によって分断さ れた内方隙間部と、 リ ング体の外溝と容器本体の外リブとの間に、 容器 本体外部及び上記内方隙間部と連通可能な外方隙間部とがそれぞれ形成 される。 そして、 密着部によって容器本体内の液もしくは収容物が隙間 部を通過するのを阻止する一方、 容器本体内で発生する前記圧力気体に 対しては上記密着部が強制的に引き離されて、 容器本体内部から外部に かけて内方と外方隙間部が連通する一連の流体通過路が形成される。 更に別の発明(請求項 8記載の発明) の容器では、容器本体と蓋体は、 外リブと外溝を螺合して容器本体を蓋体に着脱自在に被冠したときに、 リング体内溝の溝開口部を覆うシート体周縁部の下面が容器本体の開口 端面に押し付けられる。 リング体内溝内に押し入った容器本体の内リプ 上端の支持部によって当該支持部とシート体周縁部との密着部の内外両 側に空隙部が形成される。 また、 リング体の外溝と容器本体の外リブと の間には、 容器本体外部と連通可能な外方隙間部が形成される。 更に、 容器本体の開口端面には、 容器本体内部と上記内側の空隙部と連通する 内側連通路と、 容器本体外部と上記外側の空隙部及び外方隙間部とを連 通する外側連通路とが形成される。  When the container body and the lid are screwed into the outer rib and the outer groove and the container body is covered with the lid, the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the sheet body covering the groove opening of the groove in the ring and the opening of the container body Between the end surface and the inside of the container body, the inner gap part where the support part at the upper end of the inner rib of the container body is divided by the close contact part that is in close contact with the lower surface of the sheet peripheral part, and the ring body An outer gap portion that can communicate with the outside of the container body and the inner gap portion is formed between the outer groove and the outer rib of the container body. The contact portion prevents the liquid or the contents in the container body from passing through the gap, while the contact portion is forcibly separated from the pressurized gas generated in the container body, and A series of fluid passages are formed from the inside of the main body to the outside, where the inside and outside gaps communicate. In the container of still another invention (invention of claim 8), when the container main body and the lid are screwed together with the outer rib and the outer groove and the container main body is detachably covered with the lid, the ring body is closed. The lower surface of the peripheral portion of the sheet covering the groove opening of the groove is pressed against the opening end surface of the container body. With the support at the upper end of the inner lip of the container body pushed into the groove in the ring body, voids are formed on both the inside and outside of the close contact portion between the support and the periphery of the sheet body. Further, an outer gap portion that can communicate with the outside of the container body is formed between the outer groove of the ring body and the outer rib of the container body. Further, an inner communication passage communicating with the inside of the container body and the inner gap portion, and an outer communication passage communicating with the outside of the container body and the outer gap portion and the outer gap portion are provided on the opening end surface of the container body. Is formed.

そして、 上記した密着部によって容器本体内の液もしくは収容物が容 器本体外へと通過するのを阻止する一方、 容器本体内で発生する前記圧 力気体に対しては上記密着部が強制的に引き離され、 容器本体内部から 外部にかけて内側連通路と内外隙間部と外方隙間部と外側連通路とが連 通する一連の流体通過路が形成される。 本発明において採用される連通路は、 液漏れを防止しガス抜きを可能 とするために、 外方端が内方端よりも狭い径に形成し、 あるいは底面を 外方に向けて上り傾斜に形成すると良い。 The above-mentioned close contact portion prevents the liquid or the contents in the container main body from passing outside the container main body, while the close contact portion forcibly prevents the pressurized gas generated inside the container main body. And a series of fluid passages are formed from the inside of the container body to the outside, where the inner communication passage, the inner and outer clearances, the outer clearance, and the outer communication passage communicate with each other. The communication passage employed in the present invention has an outer end formed to have a smaller diameter than the inner end, or has a bottom sloped upward and outward to prevent liquid leakage and enable degassing. It is good to form.

こう した容器は、 同様に液もれを起こすことなく圧力気体を容器本体 外に逃がすことができるばかりでなく、 蓋体を構成するシート体がパッ キン材を兼ねることができ、 しかも繰り返し使用の可能な容器を提供で きるものである。  Such a container not only allows the pressurized gas to escape to the outside of the container body without causing liquid leakage, but also allows the sheet constituting the lid to also serve as a packing material, and is used repeatedly. A possible container can be provided.

発明を実施するための最良の形態  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

以下、 本発明を図示した実施例に基づいて詳説する。  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

図 1は本発明の一実施例に係る容器の蓋体を剥がす途中の状態を示す 斜視図、 図 2は容器の縦断面図、 図 3は容器本体の平面図、 図 4は容器 本体のフランジ部の拡大断面図である。  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a lid of a container according to an embodiment of the present invention is being removed, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the container, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the container main body, and FIG. 4 is a flange of the container main body. It is an expanded sectional view of a part.

図中符号 1は、 合成樹脂材によって型成形された容器本体で、 開口端 に水平方向に張出した環状のフランジ部 2を有する。 容器本体 1の開口 3及びフランジ部 2は、 シート材によつて形成された蓋体 4によつて覆 われる。 Reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes a container body molded from a synthetic resin material, and has an annular flange portion 2 extending horizontally at an open end. The opening 3 and the flange 2 of the container body 1 are covered by a lid 4 formed of a sheet material. Will be

蓋体 4は、 合成樹脂製のフィルムシート,によって形成され、 周縁部 4 1を容器本体 1のフランジ部 2に剥離可能に熱溶着されている。 蓋体 4 は、 表面のうち、 容器本体 1 との封着部である周縁部 4 1を含む外周縁 に、 文字や図案等の印刷が施されている。  The lid 4 is formed of a synthetic resin film sheet, and the peripheral edge 41 is thermally welded to the flange 2 of the container body 1 so as to be peelable. On the outer surface of the lid 4 including the peripheral portion 41 that is a sealing portion with the container body 1, characters, designs and the like are printed on the surface.

容器本体 1のフランジ部 2は、 径方向の内側位置と外側位置に所要の 間隔をおいて 2つの封着面部 2 1, 2 2を備える。 封着面部 2 1, 2 2 は、 開口 3に沿って環状を成し、 蓋体 4の周縁部 4 1が熱溶着される箇 所である。  The flange portion 2 of the container body 1 is provided with two sealing surfaces 21 and 22 at a required interval at an inner position and an outer position in a radial direction. The sealing surfaces 21 and 22 are formed along the opening 3 in a ring shape, and are portions where the peripheral edge 41 of the lid 4 is thermally welded.

両封着面部 2 1, 2 2の間には、 封着面部 2 1, 2 2より も僅かに上 方に突出した支持面部 2 3が環状に突設されている。 支持面部 2 3の両 側には、 環状を成す滞留溝 2 4, 2 5が形成されている。 支持面部 2 3 は、 接触する蓋体周縁部 4 1 と熱溶着されることなく、 単に密着状態に ある。 密着状態は、 封着面部 2 1, 2 2に蓋体周縁部 4 1を溶着する際 に、 蓋体周縁部 4 1における内側と外側の溶着位置間の部分に若干の緊 張状態を保たせることによって達成される。 密着部 8には、 必要に応じ て適宜の間隔をおいて熱溶着を施した固着部を設けることもできる。 固 着部は容器本体内から発生する醱酵ガスの圧力で自動的に剥離可能な程 度のものとする。 支持面部 2 3が封着面部 2 1 , 2 2より も上方に位置 することから、 支持面部両側にある滞留溝 2 4, 2 5の上方には、 空隙 部 9, 1 0が形成される。  Between the sealing surfaces 21 and 22, a supporting surface 23 slightly projecting upward from the sealing surfaces 21 and 22 is annularly protruded. Annular retaining grooves 24, 25 are formed on both sides of the support surface portion 23. The support surface portion 23 is simply in close contact with the peripheral edge portion 41 of the lid, which is not in contact with the contact portion. When the lid peripheral edge 41 is welded to the sealing surfaces 21, 22, a slight tension is maintained at the portion between the inner and outer welding positions of the lid peripheral edge 41. Achieved by: The adhesion portion 8 may be provided with a fixing portion subjected to heat welding at appropriate intervals as necessary. The fixing part shall be of such a degree that it can be automatically peeled off by the pressure of the fermentation gas generated from inside the container body. Since the support surface portion 23 is located above the sealing surface portions 21 and 22, void portions 9 and 10 are formed above the retaining grooves 24 and 25 on both sides of the support surface portion.

内側の封着面部 2 1 と外側の封着面部 2 2には、 面上の周方向適所に 連通路 6 , 7が凹設されている。 図 3においては内側封着面部 2 1では 6時の位置に、外側封着面部 2 2では 1 2時の位置にそれぞれ連通路 6, 7が設けられている。 内側の連通路 6は、. 内端が容器本体内空間に開口 し、 外端が内側の空隙部 9に開口する。 外側の連通路 7は、 内端が外側 の空隙部 1 0に開口し、 外端が外部空間に開口する。  In the inner sealing surface 21 and the outer sealing surface 22, communication passages 6 and 7 are recessed at appropriate positions in the circumferential direction on the surfaces. In FIG. 3, communication paths 6 and 7 are provided at a position of 6 o'clock on the inner sealing surface 21 and at a position of 12 o'clock on the outer sealing surface 22. The inner communication passage 6 has an inner end opening into the inner space of the container body and an outer end opening into the inner cavity 9. The outer communication path 7 has an inner end opening to the outer space 10 and an outer end opening to the outer space.

本容器の作用を図 6 と図 7を参照しつつ説明する。  The operation of the container will be described with reference to FIGS.

容器が傾くなどして容器本体内の収容物に含まれる液が内側連通路 6 から空隙部 9に浸入すると、 液は内側の滞留溝 2 4内に溜まる (図 6 )。 溝内の液は、溝の容積が小さいこともあって蓄積量が少ない。このため、 容器が再度傾いたり してもその液圧によっては支持面部 2 3 と蓋体周縁 部 4 1 との密着部 8を引き離す力には至らない。 したがって、 液に対し ては内側空隙部 9 と外側空隙部 1 0とが連通することはなく、 内側の連 通路 6及び空隙部 9 と外側の連通路 7及び空隙部 1 0 とは密着部 8にお いて遮断された状態を保つ。 内側の滞留溝 2 4に溜まった液は、 フラン ジ部 2を覆う蓋体周縁部 4 1表面の印刷によって隠されるので、 外から 見えることはない。 The liquid contained in the container inside the container body due to tilting of the container, etc. When the liquid enters the gap 9 from above, the liquid accumulates in the inner retaining groove 24 (FIG. 6). The amount of liquid in the groove is small due to the small volume of the groove. For this reason, even if the container is tilted again, it does not reach the force for separating the close contact portion 8 between the support surface portion 23 and the lid peripheral portion 41 depending on the liquid pressure. Therefore, the inner gap 9 and the outer gap 10 do not communicate with each other, and the inner communication path 6 and the gap 9 and the outer communication path 7 and the gap 10 are in close contact with the liquid. And keep it shut off. The liquid accumulated in the inner retaining groove 24 is hidden by the printing on the surface of the lid peripheral portion 41 covering the flange portion 2, so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

一方、 収容物から発生した醱酵ガスあるいは膨張ガスは、 同様に内側 連通路 6から内側空隙部 9に侵入する。 内側空隙部 9に入り込んだガス は、 自身の圧力によって密着部 8周辺の蓋体周縁部 4 1を上方に押し上 げ、 支持面部上端から蓋体周縁部 4 1を引き離す。 このため、 ガスは密 着部 8をすり抜けて外側空隙部 1 0へ逃げ、 この外側空隙部 1 0と外側 の滞留溝 2 5を通り、 1 8 0度反対方向に位置する外側連通路 7を介し て外部空間に放出される (図 7参照)。  On the other hand, the fermentation gas or inflation gas generated from the stored material similarly enters the inner gap 9 from the inner communication passage 6. The gas that has entered the inner cavity 9 pushes the lid peripheral edge 41 around the contact portion 8 upward by its own pressure, and separates the lid peripheral edge 41 from the upper end of the support surface. For this reason, the gas passes through the sealing portion 8 and escapes to the outer space 10, passes through the outer space 10 and the outer retaining groove 25, and passes through the outer communication passage 7 located in the opposite direction by 180 degrees. It is released into the external space via (see Fig. 7).

実験例  Experimental example

平面円形状をした外径 9 6 mm、 高さ 4 5 mm、 肉厚 1 0 mmの容器本体の 開口端面に、 2 mm幅の封着面部を 2つ、 2 mm幅の滞留溝を 2つ設け、 開 口端面の幅方向中心に同じく 2 mm幅の支持面部を封着面部より も 0 . 5 mm (図 4の h ) だけ上方に突出させて形成した。 また、 封着面部の上記 実施例と同じ位置に、 幅 lmni、 深さ 0 . 1 mmの深さの連通路を 2つ形成 した。 この容器本体内に白菜キムチ 1 0 0 gを収容し、 開口を P E T製 フィルム (厚み 0. 05mm) から成る蓋体で覆い、 周縁部を封着面部に熱溶 着した。 Two 2 mm-wide sealing surfaces and two 2 mm-wide retaining grooves on the open end face of a container with a flat circular outer diameter of 96 mm, height of 45 mm, and wall thickness of 10 mm A supporting surface having the same width of 2 mm was formed at the center of the opening end face in the width direction so as to protrude 0.5 mm (h in FIG. 4) above the sealing surface. In addition, two communication passages having a width of lmni and a depth of 0.1 mm were formed at the same positions on the sealing surface as in the above embodiment. The inside the container body accommodating the cabbage 1 0 0 g, an opening covered with a lid made of a PET film (thickness 0. 0 5 mm), was Netsu溶wearing periphery the sealing surface portion.

この試料を、 常温で 3 日間放置した状態を観察した。  This sample was observed to be left at room temperature for 3 days.

3 日経っても、 蓋体あるいは容器本体の膨張等の変形は見られず、 醱 酵ガスが有効に容器本体外へと放出されていることが判明した。  Even after 3 days, no deformation such as expansion of the lid or the container body was observed, and it was found that the fermentation gas was effectively discharged out of the container body.

観察期間中及び観察期間 (3 [3間) 経過後に、 容器を逆さにしたとこ ろ、 内部の液は内側連通路から空隙部へと浸入するものの、 支持面部と 蓋体周縁部との密着部を引き離して外側の空隙部へと流れ込むことはな かった。 The container was turned upside down during and after the observation period (3 [3]). On the other hand, although the liquid inside penetrated into the gap from the inside communication passage, the liquid did not flow into the outside gap by separating the contact portion between the support surface and the peripheral edge of the lid.

この結果、 本発明によって、 液漏れ防止とガス抜きが有効に行われる ことが判明した。  As a result, it has been found that the present invention effectively prevents liquid leakage and gas release.

本実施例における容器の封着面部は、 少なく とも内と外の 2箇所に設 ける必要がある。 蓋体周縁部を封着される開口端面が大きな場合、 中間 に更にも う一つ以上設けるようにしても良い。 この場合には、 中間の封 着面部と内外の封着面部との間に支持面部がそれぞれ設けられ、 また中 間の封着面部には中間の連通路が形成される。  In the present embodiment, the sealing surface of the container needs to be provided at least at two places, inside and outside. In the case where the opening end face for sealing the peripheral portion of the lid body is large, one or more more may be provided in the middle. In this case, a support surface portion is provided between the intermediate sealing surface portion and the inner and outer sealing surface portions, respectively, and an intermediate communication path is formed in the intermediate sealing surface portion.

滞留溝は、 本実施例の容器では必ずしも必須ではないが、 万一の場合 を考慮して液を効果的に滞留させるためには、 少なく とも内側の滞留溝 を必要とする。  The retaining groove is not necessarily required in the container of the present embodiment, but at least an inner retaining groove is required in order to effectively retain the liquid in consideration of an emergency.

図 8は本発明の他の実施例に係る容器本体の平面図、 図 9は本容器の 要部を示す拡大図である。 両図において、 上記第 1の実施例の構成部材 と同一部材には、 同じ番号を 1 0 0番台で示してある。  FIG. 8 is a plan view of a container main body according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged view showing a main part of the container. In both figures, the same members as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals in the 100s.

この実施例では、 封着面部 1 2 1, 1 2 2と支持面部 1 2 3 との間に 滞留溝が形成されていない。 代わりに、 支持面部 1 2 3の内外両側に上 記した空隙部 1 0 9, 1 1 0が形成されるよう、 封着面部 1 2 1 , 1 2 2 と支持面部 1 2 3 との間に距離が置かれている。  In this embodiment, no stagnation groove is formed between the sealing surface portions 121, 122 and the support surface portion 123. Instead, between the sealing surfaces 1 2 1, 1 2 2 and the support surface 1 2 3, the above-mentioned voids 1 0 9 and 1 10 are formed on both the inside and outside of the support surface 1 2 3. Distance is placed.

容器本体 1 0 1の内部で生じた醱酵ガス等の圧力気体は、 内側の連通 路 1 0 6から空隙部に入り、 ここで蓋体周縁部の密着部 1 0 8を僅かに 押し上げて支持面部 1 2 3をすり抜け、外側の空隙部 1 1 0を通 て(図 8参照) 外側の連通路 1 0 7から容器本体外へと逃げる。  The pressurized gas such as fermentation gas generated inside the container body 101 enters the gap through the inner communication passage 106, where it is pushed up slightly to support the contact portion 108 at the peripheral edge of the lid. It slips through the face portion 123 and passes through the outer gap 110 (see Fig. 8), and escapes from the outer communication passage 107 outside the container body.

内部液は、 内側連通路 1 0 6に入り込んでも密着部 1 0 8を押し上げ るには至らないので、 支持面部 1 2 3の外側に漏れ出すことはない。 ま た、 万一、 支持面部 1 2 3を乗り越えることがあっても、 外側の空隙部 1 1 0を 1 8 0度経巡り、 なおかつ外側の連通路内に入り込まなければ ならないので、 ほとんど容器本体外に出ることはない。 なお、 本実施例に係る容器は、 比較的に水分の少ない内容物を収容す る容器と して用いるのが望ましい。 Even if the internal liquid enters the inner communication passage 106, it does not push up the contact portion 108, so that it does not leak out of the support surface portion 123. Also, even if the vehicle could get over the support surface section 123, it would have to go through the outer gap 110 through 180 degrees and enter the outer communication passage, so almost all of the container body Never go outside. The container according to the present embodiment is desirably used as a container for storing contents having relatively low water content.

図 1 0から図 1 2は、 本発明の更に別の実施例を示す。 図 1 0は、 本 発明が適用された容器の要部を示す'断面図、 図 1 1はこれに用いられる 蓋体の要部を示す断面図、 図 1 2は図 1 0の一部の拡大断面図である。 図中符合は、 第 1の実施例の構成部材と同じか対応する部材について 2 0 0番台の同一番号を付してある。  10 to 12 show yet another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of a container to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of a lid used for this, and FIG. 12 is a part of FIG. It is an expanded sectional view. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment denote the same or corresponding members in the 200s.

本実施例では、 リング体 2 4 1 とシート体 2 4 5 とを一体化させた蓋 体 2 0 4が容器本体 2 0 1に着脱自在な容器を提供する。 リング体 2 4 1は、 合成樹脂材によって成形され、 下面に環状の内溝 2 4 4 とこれよ りも深い外溝 2 4 2を有する。 外溝 2 4 2には雌ネジ 2 4 3が形成され ている。 シート体 2 4 5は、 若干の伸縮性を有する合成樹脂製フィルム シート材によつて形成され、 リ ング体 2 4 1のリ ング内空間に張り渡さ れている。 シート体 2 4 5の周縁部 2 4 5 aは、 内溝 2 4 4の溝開口部 を塞ぐようにして覆い、 その端部を外溝内壁に固着してある。  In the present embodiment, a container is provided in which the lid body 204 in which the ring body 241 and the sheet body 2445 are integrated can be detachably attached to the container body 201. The ring body 241 is formed of a synthetic resin material, and has an annular inner groove 244 and a deeper outer groove 242 on the lower surface. A female screw 24 3 is formed in the outer groove 2 42. The sheet body 245 is formed of a synthetic resin film sheet material having a slight elasticity, and is stretched over the inner space of the ring body 241. The peripheral portion 245a of the sheet body 245 covers the groove opening of the inner groove 244 so as to cover the groove opening, and the end is fixed to the inner wall of the outer groove.

容器本体 2 0 1は、 蓋体 2 0 4が封止される開口端面 2 0 2 (フラン ジ部) に、 蓋体 2 0 4の上記外溝内の雌ネジ 2 4 3と螺合する雄ネジ 2 2 7を有する環状の外リブ 2 2 6 と、 蓋体 2 0 4の内溝 2 4 4に入り込 む内リブ 2 2 3とを備える。外リブ 2 2 6 と外溝 2 4 2は、ネジ 2 2 7, 2 4 3の螺合状態において、圧力気体の通過可能な程度の隙間 2 0 6 ( 2 0 6 C ) を有する。 内リブ 2 2 3は、 断面山形形状を成し、 内溝 2 4 4 に入り込んだときに、 シー ト体周縁部 2 4 5 aの対応箇所と密着し、 こ れを押し上げてシート体周縁部 2 4 5 aの密着部 2 0 8を内溝内に位置 させるとともに、 内外両側に圧力気体の通過可能な空隙部 2 0 9 , 2 1 0を形成する。  The container main body 201 has an open end face 202 (flange portion) in which the lid 204 is sealed, and a male screw screwed with the female screw 243 in the outer groove of the lid 204. An annular outer rib 226 having a screw 227 is provided, and an inner rib 223 entering the inner groove 244 of the lid 204 is provided. The outer rib 2 26 and the outer groove 2 42 have a gap 206 (206 C) that allows the passage of a pressurized gas when the screws 2 27 and 2 43 are screwed together. The inner rib 2 23 has a chevron shape in cross section, and when it enters the inner groove 2 4 4, it comes into close contact with the corresponding portion of the sheet body edge 2 4 5 a and pushes it up to lift the sheet body edge. The contact portion 208 of the 245a is positioned in the inner groove, and voids 209 and 210 through which the pressurized gas can pass are formed on both inside and outside.

また、 蓋体 2 0 4が容器本体 2 0 1に被冠されたときに、 シート体周 縁部下面と容器本体 2 0 1の開口端面 1 0 2 との間には、 同様に圧力気 体の通過可能な隙間 2 0 6 ( 2 0 6 A , 2 0 6 B ) が形成される。  Similarly, when the lid 204 is covered by the container body 201, a pressure gas is similarly formed between the lower surface of the peripheral portion of the sheet body and the opening end face 102 of the container body 201. A gap 206 (206 A, 206 B) that can pass through is formed.

したがって、容器本体 2 0 1に蓋体 2 0 4を取付けると、この容器は、 シート体周縁部 2 4 5 aの下面と容器本体 2 0 1の開口端面 2 0 2 との 間に内方隙間部 2 0 6 A, 2 0 6 Bが、 またリ ング体 2 4 1の外溝 2 4 2と容器本体 2 0 1の外リブ 2 2 6 との間に前記圧力気体の通過可能な 外方隙間部 2 0 6 Cを持つ。そして、蓋体 2 0 4の内溝 2 4 4の箇所で、 容器本体 2 0 1の内リブ上端が内溝 2 4 4を覆うシー ト体周縁部 2 4 5 aの下面に密着して内溝内に押し込むと同時に上記内方隙間部 2 0 6 A、 2 0 6 Bを遮断する密着部 2 0 8が形成される。 Therefore, when the lid 204 is attached to the container body 201, this container becomes Inner gaps 206 A and 206 B are formed between the lower surface of the sheet body peripheral portion 245 a and the opening end surface 202 of the container body 201, and the outside of the ring body 241. An outer gap portion 206C through which the pressurized gas can pass is provided between the groove 242 and the outer rib 226 of the container body 201. Then, at the location of the inner groove 244 of the lid 204, the upper end of the inner rib of the container body 201 is in close contact with the lower surface of the sheet body peripheral portion 245a covering the inner groove 244. At the same time as being pushed into the groove, a close contact portion 208 for blocking the inner gap portions 206A and 206B is formed.

このため、 容器本体 2 0 1の収容液は、 シート本体周縁部下面と開口 端面との間に生じたもっとも内側の内方隙間部 2 0 6 Aには浸入するも のの、内溝内の密着部 2 0 8に妨げられてそれ以上の漏出が防止される。 一方、 醱酵ガスや加熱による膨張気体は、 上記内方隙間部 2 0 6 Aと 内側の空隙部 2 0 9から密着部 2 0 8のシート本体周縁部 2 4 5 aを押 し上げ、 内リブ上端を乗り越えてシー ト本体周縁部下面と開口端面との 間の外側の隙間部 2 0 6 Bに入り込む。 ここから、 更に外溝 2 4 2と外 リブ 2 2 6 との間にある隙間部 2 0 6 Cを通って容器本体外へと導かれ る。  Therefore, the liquid contained in the container body 201 penetrates into the innermost inner gap portion 206A generated between the lower surface of the peripheral portion of the sheet body and the end face of the opening. The leak is prevented by the close contact portion 208. On the other hand, the fermentation gas and the expansion gas due to heating push up the sheet body peripheral portion 245a of the close contact portion 208 from the inner gap portion 206A and the inner gap portion 209, and It gets over the upper end of the rib and enters the outer gap 206 B between the lower surface of the sheet main body peripheral portion and the opening end surface. From here, it is further guided to the outside of the container body through a gap 206C between the outer groove 242 and the outer rib 226.

図 1 0から図 1 2の実施例の変形例と して、 内方隙間部を形成するこ となく、シート体周縁部下面を容器本体の開口端面に押し付けて封止し、 内側と外側の内方隙間部に第 1の実施例に示すと同様な内側連通路を形 成するよ うにしても良い。 これらの連通路は、 当然のことながら、 内リ ブの支持部両側に形成される空隙部と連通する。 また、 外リブ外方の開 口端面にも外方隙間部と連通する外側連通路を形成する。 この変形例に よれば、 蓋体と容器本体との封止部における密閉性をより向上させるこ とができる。  As a modified example of the embodiment of FIGS. 10 to 12, the lower surface of the peripheral portion of the sheet body is pressed against the opening end surface of the container body and sealed without forming an inner gap portion. An inner communication passage similar to that shown in the first embodiment may be formed in the inner gap. Naturally, these communication passages communicate with gaps formed on both sides of the support portion of the inner rib. In addition, an outer communication passage communicating with the outer clearance is also formed on the opening end face outside the outer rib. According to this modification, the hermeticity of the sealing portion between the lid and the container body can be further improved.

なお、 第 1の実施例を含むいずれの実施例おいても、 連通路は、 例え ば図 1 3 Aに示すように平面視で内端より も外端を狭い径に形成するこ とができる。 また、 連通路は、 底面が外方に向けて上り傾斜の物にする と良い。 いずれも、 容器本体内の液等がより外部に漏れにく くなる。  In any of the embodiments including the first embodiment, the communication path can be formed such that the outer end is smaller in diameter than the inner end in plan view as shown in FIG. 13A, for example. . In addition, it is preferable that the communication passage has a bottom surface which is inclined upward toward the outside. In any case, the liquid in the container body is harder to leak outside.

図 1 0から図 1 2の実施例及びその変形実施例にあっては、連通路は、 蓋体と容器本体のネジの締付け方向に適合する方向に斜めに延びるもの であっても良い。 図 1 3 Bは、 時計方向に閉まるネジの場合の連通路の 断面を概略的に示す。 In the embodiment of FIGS. 10 to 12 and its modified embodiments, the communication path is It may extend obliquely in a direction suitable for tightening the screws of the lid and the container body. FIG. 13B schematically shows a cross section of the communication path for a screw that closes clockwise.

図 1 0から図 1 2の実施例の容器は、 シート本体の柔軟性が損なわれ ない限り、 繰り返し使用が可能であり、 比較的大きな径のものにも対応 できる。 また、 パッキンを用いることなしに、 蓋体の構成部材の一部に よつて液漏れを防止できる。  The container of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 can be used repeatedly as long as the flexibility of the sheet body is not impaired, and can be used for a container having a relatively large diameter. In addition, liquid leakage can be prevented by using a part of the component of the lid without using packing.

内リプの断面形状あるいはシート体周縁部端部の固定位置その他外リ ブのネジの形状、 方向等は前記した作用を発揮するものであれば、 その 構成の如何を問うものではない。  The cross-sectional shape of the inner lip, the fixing position of the peripheral edge portion of the sheet member, and the shape and direction of the screw of the outer lip do not matter as long as the above-mentioned action is exerted.
