  • Patent number: 9511905
    Abstract: A synthetic resin container closure does not render required initial torque and required secondary torque for unsealing excessively high, and but can fully reliably prevent slipping-out, a phenomenon where a locking device ascends while elastically climbing over a locking jaw portion, without causing breakage of a circumferential breakable line, at the time of unsealing. Such a synthetic resin container closure and a combination of the synthetic resin container closure and a container are provided. An inverted truncated cone-shaped fitting surface extending upwards at a radially outward incline from the base edge of an upper surface of the locking device is disposed in the inner peripheral surface of a tamper evident bottom section demarcated below the circumferential breakable line formed in a skirt wall.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8403186
    Abstract: A composite spout obtained by injection forming a spout body in a state where a sleeve having a functional resin layer disposed as an intermediate layer is fitted as a core onto the core member of an injection-forming metal mold such that the inner peripheral surface only of the sleeve is substantially exposed on the inner peripheral surface of the spout body. A tilted surface is formed on the inner peripheral surface at one end of the spout body in at least a portion thereof in the circumferential direction, the tilted surface being tilted outward in the radial direction from a position in agreement with the inner peripheral edge at the one end of the sleeve or from the inside thereof in the radial direction facing the one end of the spout body.

  • Patent number: 7607547
    Abstract: A container cap which offers improved opening/closing performance and improved touch feeling. Linear protuberances are formed on the circumferential wall of the main portion of the skirt of the container cap of the container. The protuberances include large protuberances having a large height and small protuberances having heights of protrusion from the outer surface of the circumferential wall portion smaller than that of the large protuberances. The main portion has large protuberance regions forming a plurality of large protuberances and small protuberance regions forming a plurality of small protuberances, the large protuberance regions and the small protuberance regions being alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the main portion.

  • Publication number: 20090008416
    Abstract: A composite spout which does not permit a sleeve fitted onto the core to be deviated during the injection forming and does not permit end surfaces of the sleeve to be exposed in the spout body. A spout body is injection-formed in a state where a sleeve having a functional resin layer disposed as an intermediate layer is fitted as a core onto the core member of an injection-forming metal mold such that the inner peripheral surface only of the sleeve is substantially exposed on the inner peripheral surface of the spout body. A tilted surface is formed on the inner peripheral surface at one end of the spout body in at least a portion thereof in the circumferential direction, the tilted surface being tilted outward in the radial direction from a position in agreement with the inner peripheral edge at the one end of the sleeve or from the inside thereof in the radial direction facing the one end of the spout body.
