Definitions
- the present invention relates to a metal bottle-type can that can be resealed with a cap, and particularly to the structure of the curled portion formed at the opening.
- a metal bottle-type can has a curled portion because the opening closed by the cap may be put into the mouth and the contents may be directly drunk. That is, the curled portion is a portion in which the edge of the opening has a rounded shape, and the cut end of the metal plate, which is the material, is rolled inward and concealed, and is described in Japanese Patent No. 4293349 to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-177932.
- the curled portion is a so-called seam-folded curled portion.
- the manufacturing method is as described in Japanese Patent No.
- the seam-folded curled portion is not only simply folded, but also crushed in the plate thickness direction so that the overlapping folded pieces are in close contact with each other. Therefore, the upper end portion of the curled portion has a rounded shape due to the three or four curled portions.
- the cut edge of the metal plate which is the material
- aluminum or its alloy is used as the material. In so-called aluminum cans, even if the resin coating the surface is peeled off at the cut ends, it can be concealed.
- the curled part has the function of not only securing the so-called safety and preserving the appearance described above, but also maintaining sealing performance and tamper evidence (TE).
- TE sealing performance and tamper evidence
- a cap is placed on the mouth and neck portion where the curled portion is provided at the upper end to seal the opening. ) is elastically deformed and brought into close contact with the upper end of the curled portion, and as a result, the opening is sealed in a liquid-tight or air-tight state. Therefore, the accuracy of the curl may affect the tightness.
- the TE property can be said to be the certainty of a change in form that indicates the fact of opening even once, and is shown in Japanese Patent No. 4293349 to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-177932.
- the TE property is affected by the mutual relationship between the bead portion (protruding portion) provided on the lower side of the screw portion and the curl portion. That is, the cap that covers the mouth and neck has a female thread that is screwed to the male thread of the mouth and neck by so-called roll-on capping, and at the same time, the band on the lower end that is separated by a slit (perforation) is , is shaped to wrap around and engage the bead from the outside.
- the cap is pushed up by the elastic force due to the elastic deformation of the sealing material (runner) described above.
- the cap is pushed up by an elastic force associated with elastic deformation acting between and.
- an elastic force associated with elastic deformation acting between and As a result, there is a preload between the bead and the band engaged therewith in the direction that the bead pulls down the band (cap) and conversely that the band (cap) pulls up the bead. ) will work. Therefore, if the curled portion is formed as desired, when the cap is slightly rotated in the opening direction, the cap is pushed up with respect to the mouth and neck portion. The fact that the slit (perforation) connecting to the bottle is broken, and the fact that the plug is opened will clearly remain as such a change in shape.
- the seam-folded curled portion which requires the above-mentioned functions, has a smaller diameter than the threaded portion.
- a slanted wall is formed, and a portion extending cylindrically upward from the slanted wall is folded outward as described above.
- a capping pressure is applied to this curled portion during roll-on capping, conventionally, as described in Japanese Patent No. 4293349 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2019-177932, curling
- the lower bent portion (the downwardly convex bent portion) of the portion is brought into contact with the inclined wall whose outer diameter gradually increases toward the screw portion side. That is, the inclined wall serves as a so-called lower support for the curled portion.
- the so-called lower bent portion (hereinafter referred to as the lower end R portion) that is in contact with the inclined wall is a cross-sectional view when cut in the vertical direction. , it is a so-called free end. That is, the portion of the curled portion that is folded outwardly of the mouth/neck portion has a shape in which the lower end R portion is easily spread outward with the upper end portion connected to the mouth/neck portion serving as a fulcrum.
- the inclined wall with which the lower end R portion contacts or the inwardly curved surface portion connected from the inclined wall to the curled portion has a shape in which the outer diameter gradually increases on the lower side.
- the curled portion of the conventional structure described above has a problem that the lower end R portion tends to spread outward due to the load acting in the axial direction, such as the plugging pressure.
- a load that bends the innermost wall surface of the curled portion inward in the radial direction acts, and depending on the case, it is recessed. When such deformation occurs, the height of the curled portion or the position of its vertex is lowered in the direction away from the aforementioned runner.
- the TE properties described above may be impaired, and a quality problem may occur. . That is, the runner is pressed against the upper outer peripheral surface of the curled portion while the outer peripheral corner portion of the cap is squeezed during roll-on capping. Also, when the runner is compressed by the load from above, a portion of the runner is pushed outward in the radial direction and clings to the upper outer peripheral surface of the curled portion.
- the shape of the outer periphery of the curled portion itself becomes closer to a tapered shape with a smaller diameter on the upper side. That is, the outer circumference of the curled portion has a shape that pushes away the runner that is pressed or clinging to it.
- the runner itself is also deformed into a shape with a large inner diameter on the lower side following the shape of the outer circumference of the curled portion, when the runner is slightly lifted together with the cap, the part with the large inner diameter is lifted toward the opening end. and the curled portion are easily released from each other.
- the present invention has a cylindrical neck portion connected to the upper part of the can body via a shoulder portion whose diameter gradually decreases on the upper side, and the neck portion includes: A threaded portion for threading the cap, a protruding portion for engaging the tamper evidence band of the cap below the threaded portion, and a curled portion formed at the open end above the threaded portion.
- the curled portion includes an inner peripheral wall portion connected upward from the threaded portion, and a radial direction from the upper end of the inner peripheral wall portion to the mouth and neck portion.
- an inclined wall confined between the inner peripheral wall portion and the outer peripheral wall portion, connected to the threaded portion downward from the inner peripheral wall portion, and having an outer diameter gradually increasing downwardly from the inner peripheral wall portion; is provided, extends downward from the lowermost end portion with which the folded piece contacts the portion connecting the inner peripheral wall portion to the inclined wall portion, and has a center of curvature on the outside of the mouth and neck portion and the It is characterized in that a retraction surface is provided which has a larger radius of curvature in a cross section taken along a plane passing through the central axis of the mouth and neck than the radius of curvature in the cross section of the lower end R portion.
- the center of curvature of the retraction surface in the vertical direction parallel to the central axis of the mouth and neck portion, may be at the same height position or at a lower position than the center of curvature of the lower end R portion.
- the upper end R portion has a curl top portion that is the most distal portion in the direction of the central axis of the mouth and neck portion, and the mouth and neck portion extends from the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall portion to the curl top portion. measured in the radial direction may be shorter than the length measured in the direction of the central axis of the mouth/neck portion from the start portion of the upper end R portion on the inner peripheral wall portion side to the curl top portion.

- This retraction surface is a portion extending downward from the lowest portion of the portion where the folding piece portion overlapping the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall surface is in contact with the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall surface, and its shape is as follows. It is a surface (including a straight surface with an infinite curvature radius) having a radius of curvature larger than the radius of curvature of the lower R portion of the curled portion that is connected to the lower side of the folded piece.
- the shape of the upper end R portion of the curled portion is made into a shape that is not conventional, and the length measured in the radial direction of the mouth and neck portion from the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall portion to the curl top portion is the upper end R portion. Since the length measured in the direction of the central axis of the mouth and neck portion from the start of the inner peripheral wall side of the curl to the curl top is shorter than the length, most of the load applied from the upper side of the curl is received by the inner peripheral wall, and the curl It is possible to avoid or suppress the moment that causes the portion to bend outward and the deformation that accompanies it.
- the plastic deformation and the amount of plastic deformation of the curled portion are reduced to maintain the elasticity of the curled portion in the vertical direction, thereby maintaining the close contact state of the curled portion with the sealing material provided on the inner surface of the cap, and the bottle-shaped can. It is possible to improve the sealing property and TE property of the.

- the radius of curvature of the upper end R portion 17 is not uniform.
- the radius R4 at is larger. Therefore, the length L1 measured in the radial direction of the mouth/neck portion 6 from the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall portion 16 to the curl top portion 19 is equal to the height of the curl top portion 19 from the start portion 18 (the central axis O of the mouth/neck portion 6). is smaller than L2 (L2>L1).
- the portion extending downward from the outer peripheral side of the curled portion 10 to the upper end R portion 17 is the outer peripheral wall portion 20. Since the curled portion 10 has a so-called seam fold structure, the outer peripheral wall portion 20 is the inner peripheral wall portion. 16 are almost parallel.

- the so-called seam folding of the curled portion 10 can be performed by the method and procedure described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 4293349 and Japanese Patent No. 4375706. Therefore, the order of folding is the same as described above. 2, bending of the tip edge portion 23 with respect to the folding piece portion 22, bending of the lower end R portion 21, and bending of the upper end R portion 17 are performed in this order.
- the curl portion 10 configured as described above is separated from the inclined wall portion 15 without being supported by the inclined wall portion 15, and the curl portion 10 and the inclined wall portion 15 are separated from each other.
- a retraction surface 24 is provided therebetween.
- the retraction surface 24 is the lower side or inclined surface of the inner peripheral wall portion 16 so as not to interfere with the lower end side portion, particularly the lower end R portion 21, when the curl portion 10 is loaded from above. This is a surface (portion) provided on the upper portion of the wall portion 15 .
- the folded piece portion 22 extends downward from the lowermost end portion (or a portion corresponding to the boundary between the lower end R portion 21 and the folded piece portion 22) 25 of the portion where the folded piece portion 22 contacts the inner peripheral wall portion 16.
- it is a flat surface that is straight in the vertical direction or a curved surface that is convex toward the inside of the mouth/neck portion 6 .
- the retreat surface 24 has a center of curvature P2 outside the mouth/neck portion 6 when viewed in the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. It is a surface of radius R2.

Since the lower end R portion 21 and the inclined wall portion 15 are separated in the vertical direction, the curled portion 10 descends substantially straight. That is, even if the inclined wall portion 15 has a shape in which the outer diameter gradually increases on the lower side, the curl portion 10 is not pressed against the inclined wall portion 15. A load that pushes it outward does not act.
- the outer peripheral surface of the curled portion 10 when a load is applied from above, the outer peripheral surface of the curled portion 10 is maintained in a substantially straight cylindrical shape, and the curled portion 10 is formed by roll-on capping. It is possible to maintain good adhesion of the runner 14 clinging to the upper peripheral surface. This is the same when the cap 4 attached to the mouth/neck portion 6 is turned in the opening direction. That is, when the cap 4 is slightly moved upward from the mouth/neck portion 6 by rotating it in the opening direction, the runner 14 clinging to the upper end outer peripheral surface of the curl portion 10 moves upward while clinging to the outer peripheral surface. Since it moves, the sealed state of the bottle-type can 1 is maintained.

- the load applied to the curled portion 10 from above acts on the upper end portion of the curled portion 10 as a moment with the start portion 18 of the upper end R portion 17 as a fulcrum and the curl top portion 19 as a point of action. Since the length of the so-called “arm” of the moment is "L1", which is less than the length L2 from the start 18 to the top of the curl 19, the moment is small. In addition, the portion on the outer peripheral side (tip side) of the curl top portion 19 is supported by the portion from the start portion 18 to the curl top portion 19.
- the curled portion was formed by the method described in the aforementioned Japanese Patent No. 4293349 to form a so-called quadruple seam-folded curled portion.
- the curled portion 10 is formed such that the center of curvature P1 of the lower end R portion 21 and the center of curvature P2 of the retracting surface 24 are at the same height. A capping pressure was applied to this by roll-on capping, and the deformation state of the curled portion 10 was evaluated.
- the center of curvature P2 of the retracting surface 24 is set at a position lower than the center of curvature P1 of the lower end R portion 21, so that a so-called cylindrical surface (flat surface) 24a corresponding to the difference in height position is formed on the lower side of the inner peripheral wall portion 16. It was molded continuously, and then the curved surface 24b with a predetermined radius of curvature was formed. A capping pressure was applied to the curled portion 10 by roll-on capping, and the deformation state of the curled portion 10 was evaluated.
- the portion where the folded piece 22 contacts the inner peripheral wall portion 16 is The cross-sectional arc surface is formed around the center of curvature P20, which is higher than the center of curvature P1 of the lower end R portion 21.

- symbol "14" shows a runner.
- Example 1 there was no particular change in the curling posture after the capping pressure was applied, and therefore the evaluation was "Good” as there was no particular problem as a product.
- the inner peripheral wall portion 16 was slightly bent, and the position of the curled portion 10 was shifted accordingly.
- the center of curvature P2 of the retracting surface 24 is set lower than the center of curvature P1 of the lower end R portion 21, and the lengths L1 and L2 are set to "L1>L2". That is, the position of the curled top portion 19 is made far from the inner peripheral wall portion 16 .
- a capping pressure was applied to the curled portion 10 by roll-on capping, and the deformation state of the curled portion 10 was evaluated.
- a capping pressure was applied to the curled portion 10 by roll-on capping, and the deformation state of the curled portion 10 was evaluated.
- the center of curvature P2 of the retracting surface 24 is set lower than the center of curvature P1 of the lower end R portion 21, and the lengths L1 and L2 are set to "L1 ⁇ L2". That is, the length between the position of the curl top portion 19 and the inner peripheral wall portion 16 is shortened.
- a capping pressure was applied to the curled portion 10 by roll-on capping, and the deformation state of the curled portion 10 was evaluated.
- FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the lengths L1 and L2, the curled shape before the capping pressure, the curled posture after the capping pressure, and the position of the curled portion in Examples 3-5.
- reference numeral "14" indicates a runner.
- Example 3 a portion of the upper end R portion 17 on the inner peripheral wall portion 16 side bent downward, so-called a waist bend, and the lower end R portion 21 was lowered accordingly. Therefore, it was recognized that it is necessary to secure the dimension in the height direction (the direction of the central axis O of the mouth/neck portion 6) of the retraction surface 24 in the present invention to some extent. In that sense, the evaluation was set to "OK".
- the plugging pressure is mainly received by the portion of the inner peripheral wall portion 16 and the upper end R portion 17 on the inner peripheral wall portion 16 side. 21 dropped. Therefore, it was recognized that it is necessary to secure the dimension in the height direction (the direction of the central axis O of the mouth/neck portion 6) of the retraction surface 24 in the present invention to some extent. In that sense, the evaluation was set to "OK".
- Example 5 since most of the plugging pressure is received by the inner peripheral wall portion 16, the inner peripheral wall portion 16 was pressed vertically and flexed. The R portion 21) did not drop significantly. Therefore, evaluation was made into "good.”
- the radius of curvature of the retreat surface 24 is larger than the radius of curvature of the lower end R portion 21, and the center of the mouth/neck portion 6 It is preferable to set the center of curvature P2 of the retraction surface 24 below the position of the center of curvature P1 of the lower end R portion 21 in the vertical direction along the axis O.

Abstract
Description
下端R部21の曲率中心P1と退避面24の曲率中心P2とを同じ高さ位置としたカール部10を成形した。これにロールオン・キャッピングによって打栓圧を掛けて、カール部10の変形状態を評価した。
下端R部21の曲率中心P1より低い位置に退避面24の曲率中心P2を設定し、したがってその高さ位置の差に相当するいわゆる円筒面(平坦面)24aを内周壁部16の下側に連続して成形し、それに続けて所定の曲率半径の曲面24bを形成した。そのカール部10にロールオン・キャッピングによって打栓圧を掛けて、カール部10の変形状態を評価した。
前述した折り込み片部22が内周壁部16に接触する部分のうち最下端部(もしくは下端R部21と折り込み片部22との境界に相当する箇所)25から下側に延びている部分を、下端R部21の曲率中心P1より高い位置にある曲率中心P20を中心とした断面円弧面とした。そのカール部10にロールオン・キャッピングによって打栓圧を掛けて、カール部10の変形状態を評価した。
図4に実施例1ならびに実施例2および比較例における各曲率中心の高さ位置(上下方向の位置)P1y,P2y,P20yの関係、打栓圧前のカール形状、打栓圧後のカール姿勢ならびに評価を示してある。なお、図4において符号「14」はランナを示す。実施例1では、打栓圧を掛けた後のカール姿勢に特には変化がなく、したがって評価は、製品として特には問題のない「○」であった。また、実施例2では、内周壁部16に僅かな撓みが生じ、それに伴うカール部10の位置のずれが生じていたが、カール部10の外周面(外周壁部20の外周面)に、ランナ14の一部を入り込ませる凹部を形成することが可能なことを考慮すると、カール部10のその程度の位置のずれは、ランナ14の密着性に特に影響を与えるものとはならず、したがって評価は、製品として特には問題のない「○」とした。これに対して比較例では、カール部10が押し下げられることに伴って、傾斜壁部15上を滑って、下端R部21側で外径が拡がる変形が生じた。これは、本発明で課題としている変形であり、したがって評価は製品となしえない「×」であった。
前述したボトル型缶において、下端R部21の曲率中心P1より退避面24の曲率中心P2を低くし、かつ上記の各長さL1,L2を「L1>L2」とした。すなわちカール頂部19の位置を内周壁部16から遠くした。そのカール部10にロールオン・キャッピングによって打栓圧を掛けて、カール部10の変形状態を評価した。
前述したボトル型缶において、下端R部21の曲率中心P1より退避面24の曲率中心P2を低くし、かつ上記の各長さL1,L2を「L1=L2」とした。すなわちカール頂部19の位置と内周壁部16との間の長さを中程度とした。そのカール部10にロールオン・キャッピングによって打栓圧を掛けて、カール部10の変形状態を評価した。
前述したボトル型缶において、下端R部21の曲率中心P1より退避面24の曲率中心P2を低くし、かつ上記の各長さL1,L2を「L1<L2」とした。すなわちカール頂部19の位置と内周壁部16との間の長さを短くした。そのカール部10にロールオン・キャッピングによって打栓圧を掛けて、カール部10の変形状態を評価した。
図5に実施例3ないし実施例5における各長さL1,L2の相対関係、打栓圧前のカール形状、打栓圧後のカール姿勢ならびにカール部の位置の評価を示してある。なお、図5において符号「14」はランナを示す。
