  • Publication number: 20220127048
    Abstract: A container closure of synthetic resin is used for a container having a mouth-and-neck portion formed with an external thread on its outer periphery and an engaging jaw portion positioned below the external thread. The closure including a body and a tamper evident skirt portion is not entirely separated from the mouth-and-neck portion of the container even after unsealing the container at the mouth-and-neck portion. The container closure is improved such that the body is held sufficiently reliably at a required opening position when the body detached from the mouth-and-neck portion is pivoted to the opening position even if the container closure has a relatively short axial length. Furthermore, when the body is pivoted again to the opening position, a sound recognizable for a consumer is generated with sufficient certainty.

  • Publication number: 20220123668
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes: a first control unit and a second control unit that output a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively; a gate circuit that causes a control signal selected from the first control signal and the second control signal to pass through the gate circuit; and a drive circuit that drives a main circuit based on the control signal that passes through the gate circuit. When the second control signal is selected in the state where the first control signal passes through the gate circuit, the gate circuit interrupts the first control signal and causes the second control signal to pass through the gate circuit as an absolute value of an instantaneous value of an AC current decreases below a threshold current.

  • Patent number: 11180288
    Abstract: A container lid (2) can be removed from a mouth-neck section (106) of a container without the need for a tool. Following the breakage of a breakable thin-walled line (70) in a transition region (52), the breakage of a breakable thin-walled connection wall (68) in a side wall separation region (54) can be started sufficiently smoothly in the container lid (2). For this purpose, the breakable thin-walled line (70) formed in a side wall (10) in the transition region (52) is brought into a form in which at least a part thereof extends obliquely downwardly in a counterclockwise direction.

  • Patent number: 11180293
    Abstract: A synthetic resin container lid (2) has a shape including a body (4), which is mounted on a mouth-neck portion (56) of a container by locking a locking means (26) to a locked means (58) of the mouth-neck portion (56), and an upper lid (6) coupled to the body (4) via a hinge means (32). The synthetic resin container lid (2) is improved so that the entire container lid (2) is fully and easily detached from the mouth-neck portion of the container. The axial depth of an annular or arcuate groove (46) formed in a hanging wall (10) of the body (4) and extending in a circumferential direction is changed as required. At least in a second break region (B) and a third break region (C), a circumferential breakable line (53) extending continuously in the circumferential direction along an axially lower end part of the groove (46) is formed in the hanging wall (10).
