た容器蓋を口頸部に螺着する。The metal container lid of the above-mentioned form is applied to a container in which a male screw thread and a locking jaw portion located below the male screw thread are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck portion. When attaching and sealing the container lid to the mouth and neck of the container, fit the container lid onto the mouth and neck and attach the female thread to the main part of the skirt wall along the male thread of the mouth and neck. Form, and also fold the bottom edge of the pill fur proof hem inward to lock onto the locking jaw. When opening the mouth-neck portion of the container, the container lid is rotated in the opening rotation direction, that is, the direction in which the female screw thread of the container lid is opened from the male screw thread of the mouth-neck part. In this way, the container lid does not move upward in accordance with the rotation, but the lower end of the pill fur proof hem is locked by the locking jaw, so that the container lid is prevented from moving upward. . Therefore, a considerable stress is generated in the bridging portion in the circumferential weakening line formed on the skirt wall, whereby the easily breakable bridging portion is broken. Further, the axial weakening line formed on the pill fur proof hem is broken, and the pill fur proof hem is expanded from the endless ring shape to the end strip shape. The difficult-to-break bridge portion on the circumferential break line is maintained without being broken. After that, the entire container lid is moved upward with the rotation and separated from the mouth and neck of the container. The contents of the container remain without being completely consumed,
Therefore, when it is desired to attach the container lid detached from the mouth and neck of the container to the mouth and neck again to temporarily seal the mouth and neck,
The difficult-to-break bridging portion that is maintained without being broken or the vicinity thereof is broken, and the container lid from which the pill fur proof hem is separated is screwed to the mouth and neck.

Among the items (2) and (3), the requirement (2) is particularly emphasized, and it is ensured that the pill fur proof hem of the metal container lid remains in the mouth and neck of the glass or synthetic resin container. There is a strong demand to avoid it. Therefore, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-43798 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-
According to the disclosure of Japanese Patent No. 43568, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-44297, or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-135449, in a metal container in which a score is formed in a difficult-to-break bridge portion in a circumferential weakening line, the score remains. By increasing the plate thickness and / or decreasing the extension length of the score, the breaking strength of the difficult-to-break bridge portion is somewhat increased, and thus, when opening the mouth / neck portion of the container, a circumferential weakening line is used. It is intended to ensure that the easily breakable bridging portion in is broken but the hard-to-break bridging portion is maintained without being broken. However, increasing the breaking strength of the difficult-to-break bridge part inevitably makes it difficult to break the difficult-to-break bridge part after removing the container lid from the mouth-neck part of the container. Then, the following problems to be solved have been found to occur. That is, when breaking the difficult-to-break bridge part in the container lid separated from the mouth-neck part of the container, the pill fur-proof skirt connected to the main part of the skirt wall through the difficult-to-break bridge part is moved upward. or when Pulling the horizontal direction can be separated pilfer proof skirt portion brought sufficiently good breaking shipwrecked broken Bridge junction without allowed to remain sharp serrated shape from the main portion of the skirt wall. However, when breaking the difficult-to-break bridge part of the container lid that has been separated from the mouth and neck of the container, pull down the pill fur-proof hem connected to the main part of the skirt wall through the difficult-to-break bridge part. Tensioning (such a breakage pattern is also seen as a consumer behavior), especially when the pillow proof hem is separated from the main part of the skirt wall (e.g. (See the opening direction of the container lid when removing the lid)
At the rear end, there is a tendency to leave a sharp rupture mark protruding downward in a sawtooth shape from the main part of the skirt wall.

の部位に中断部を存在せしめることもできる。Continuing the description with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 together with FIG. 1, in the container lid 2 configured according to the present invention, the container lid 2 is located above the extending position of the circumferential break line 10.
It is important that the score 40 extending along the hard-to-break bridge portion 22 is formed. Then, the axial distance between the score 40 and the slits 16 and 18 in the circumferential weakening line 10, that is, the axial distance D1 between the axial upper edge of the slits 16 and 18 and the axial lower edge of the score 40.
Is importantly between 0.05 and 0.35 mm.
When the distance D1 becomes excessive, the container lid 2 is detached from the mouth and neck of the container as described in more detail later, and then the vicinity of the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22 is broken to make the pill fur proof hem 1
There is a tendency that the force required for breaking when separating 4 from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6 becomes excessive. On the contrary, if the distance D1 is too small, when the container lid 2 is detached from the mouth and neck of the container to open the mouth and neck, the vicinity of the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22 is broken and the pill fur proof hem 14 is removed. A tendency is created to separate from the skirt wall 6 (so that the pill fur proof skirt 14 remains undisengaged from the mouth and neck of the container), and also to move the pill fur proof skirt 14 down. When the pill fur proof skirt 14 is separated from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6 by pulling, a rupture mark protruding downward from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6 in a sawtooth shape as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Tend to be generated. The residual thickness RT of the aluminum-based alloy at score 40 is conveniently between 0.180 and 0.220 mm. If the residual thickness RT is excessively large, the required breaking force for separating the pill fur-proof skirt 14 from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6 becomes excessive, and conversely, the residual thickness RT is large.
When the container lid 2 is detached from the mouth and neck of the container and the mouth and neck are opened, the vicinity of the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22 is broken and the pilfer proof hem 14 is separated from the skirt wall 6 when the amount is too small. A tendency to be separated is created. The width W of the score 40 itself may be about 0.1 mm. The slit 1 located at the front end of the score 40 and immediately in front of the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22.
The relationship with the rear end of 6 is that the rear end of the score 40 and the slit 16
The distance D2 from the rear end is 0.20 mm or less or score 40.
It is preferable that the front end of the score 40 is located in front of the rear end of the slit 16 (in the illustrated embodiment, the front end of the score 40 is located in front of the rear end of the slit 16 in the circumferential direction). Interval D2 is a negative number). When the circumferential distance D2 is excessively large (that is, an excessively large positive number), the breaking required force for separating the pilfer proof skirt 14 from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6 becomes excessively large. Regarding the relationship between the rear end of the score 40 and the front end of the slit 18 located immediately behind the hard-to-break bridge portion 22, it is preferable that the circumferential distance D3 between them is set to about 0.50 to 1.50 mm. Is. Excessive circumferential spacing D3 creates a tendency for the required break force to be too great when separating the pilfer proof skirt 14 from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6. Conversely, the circumferential distance D
When 3 is too small, when the container lid 2 is detached from the mouth and neck of the container and the mouth and neck is opened, the vicinity of the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22 is broken and the pilfer proof hem portion 14 becomes the skirt wall 6. There is a tendency to be separated from. In the illustrated embodiment, one score 40 extending continuously in the circumferential direction is formed, but if desired, an interruption portion may be provided at an appropriate portion of the score 40.

せしめる。FIG. 4 shows a state in which the container lid 2 shown in FIG. 1 is applied to the mouth and neck of the container. The container neck 48, which can be made of glass or a suitable synthetic resin, has a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a male screw 50 and a locking jaw 52 located below the male screw 50 on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Are formed. To attach the container lid 2 to the mouth / neck portion 48 and seal the mouth / neck portion 48, the container lid 2 is fitted onto the mouth / neck portion 48 in the same manner as the conventional container lid, and the top wall of the container lid 2 is fitted. 4, the annular sealing portion 38 of the sealing liner 36 is pressed against the outer surface of

48が開放される。In order to open the mouth / neck portion 48 of the container, the container lid 2 is rotated in the opening rotation direction indicated by the arrow 24, that is, in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from above in FIG. That way,
The container lid 2 is raised with the rotation by the cooperation of the male screw 50 and the female screw 54. However, since the lower end of the pill fur proof skirt 14 is locked by the locking chin 52, it cannot be lifted freely and thus corresponds to the circumferential weakening line 10 and the axial weakening line 26. Stress is generated. Then, due to the stress, the easily breakable bridging portion 20 is broken in the circumferential weakening line 10. However, the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22 is surely maintained without breaking. Axial weakening line 26
In, the fracture progresses along the score 28 from the upper end thereof, and then the resistance portion 30 also fractures. Thus, the endless ring-shaped pill fur proof skirt 14 is developed into the endless belt shape as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. After that, the entire container lid 2 is freely raised with rotation and separated from the mouth / neck portion 48, and thus the mouth / neck portion 48 is opened.

Pull the pill fur proof hem 14 to separate the pill fur proof hem 14 from the container lid 2. At this time, as will be understood by referring to FIG. 6 together with FIG. 3, the slit 1 located immediately in front of the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22.
The rupture progresses from the rear end of 6 toward the rear and the upper side to reach the score 40, and the rupture progresses rearward along the score 40,
Then, the fracture further progresses rearward and downward from the rear end of the score 40 to reach the slit 18 located immediately behind the difficult-to-break bridge portion 22, and thus the pilfer proof hem portion 14 is separated from the main portion 12 of the skirt wall 6. To be separated. In the container lid 2 constructed according to the present invention, the pill fur proof hem 14 is attached to the skirt wall 6 due to the score 40 being located above the extending position of the circumferential break line 10. Even when the pill fur proof skirt 14 is pulled downward rather than upward or horizontally when separating from the main portion 12, the slit 18 is formed from the rear end of the score 40.
The rupture proceeds smoothly by inclining downward toward the front end toward the rear end of the ridge, and therefore, without causing a rupture trace protruding in a sawtooth shape as shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. The proof skirt 14 can be separated sufficiently well from the main part 12 of the skirt wall 6. After that, the container lid 2 from which the pill fur proof hem 14 has been cut off is fitted to the mouth / neck portion 48 of the container, and the female thread 54 of the container lid 2 is attached.
