Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lid, a container with a lid, and a combination of a lid and a container. [Background technology]

[0002] Some lids are attached to the rim of a container containing a liquid such as coffee or carbonated beverage by heat sealing, while covering the opening. As shown in Patent Document 1, plastic lids have been widely used for such lids due to their cost and moldability. The environmental impact of plastics has become a problem. In particular, conventional plastics such as petroleum-based synthetic resins (hereinafter sometimes referred to as synthetic plastics) have been recognized as having the problem of not naturally decomposing after disposal and remaining in nature for long periods of time. To address this issue, the use of biodegradable plastics as lid materials has been considered. However, while biodegradable plastics are more biodegradable than synthetic plastics, there is a strong demand for cost improvements. In light of these issues, it is desirable to use paper-based materials (non-plastic materials) as lid materials, which have a lower environmental impact than plastics.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-84646 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a paper-based material is used as the lid, further improvement in the water resistance of the lid is required. For example, if a liquid contained in a container adheres to the lid, the liquid adhering to the lid may penetrate into the lid, potentially reducing the rigidity of the lid. From the perspective of improving water resistance, forming a synthetic plastic layer on the surface of the lid is considered, but forming a synthetic plastic layer again raises the issue of environmental impact. Therefore, forming a layer containing a water-repellent compound with a lower molecular weight than the synthetic plastic on the surface of the lid is also considered, but a layer containing a water-repellent compound causes problems in that it reduces the adhesion between the container and the lid by heat sealing (in terms of heat sealability).

[0005] One object of the present invention is to provide a lid, a container with a lid, and a combination of a lid and a container that contains a paper-based material and has both water resistance and heat sealability. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The lid according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The lid is used to be attached to a container (cup) such as a coffee cup for holding liquids, such as various beverages. However, the container may also hold solids in addition to liquids. That is, containers to which the lid according to the present invention can be attached include those that hold solids in addition to liquids. The lid according to the present invention will be described below using an example in which the lid has a circular shape when viewed from above. However, the shape of the lid is not limited to a circular shape when viewed from above, and various shapes other than a circle, such as an ellipse, a polygonal shape such as a rectangle or a triangle, a chamfered rectangle, or a chamfered polygon, can also be used.

[0011] The following describes the lid and application examples of the lid related to the present invention, with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0012] The following description is of preferred specific examples of the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, in the following description, directions such as front-back, left-right, and up-down, as well as directions on a horizontal plane, are shown for the sake of convenience, but the content of the present invention is not limited to these directions. In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 16 , the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction (the upper side is the +Z direction, the lower side is the −Z direction), the X-axis direction is the front-back direction (the rear side is the +X direction, the front side is the −X direction), the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are the directions along the X-axis and Y-axis, which are perpendicular to each other and defined on a plane normal to the Z-axis direction, and the XY plane, which is the plane defined by the X-axis and Y-axis, is the horizontal plane. The description will be based on these. The relative magnitude ratios of sizes and other characteristics shown in each of FIGS. 1 to 16 are shown for convenience and, unless otherwise specified, do not limit the actual magnitude ratios.

[0013] [1 Lid] The lid of the present invention will be described in order from the first embodiment to the third embodiment.

[0014] [1-1 First embodiment] [1-1-1 Lid structure] As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the lid 1 according to the first embodiment is used to be joined to a container 101 having an opening 102 and an edge 103 that forms the upper edge of the opening 102, and is formed in a shape that allows it to be joined to the container 101. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the lid 1 can be used as a lidded container 150 by being joined along the edge 103. FIGS. 15A and 15B are perspective and cross-sectional views showing an example of a lidded container 150 in which the lid 1 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B is attached to the container 101. In the example shown in FIG. 15A, the container 101 has an opening 102 at the top end in the vertical direction. It is more preferable that the container 101 have a flexible edge 103 of the opening 102. However, this does not prohibit the container 101 from being a container with little or no flexibility, such as a metal container. Furthermore, container 101 has a resin layer such as synthetic resin formed on at least the surface of edge 103. Such container 101 is made of the same material as a general paper coffee cup or the like.

[0015] (joint area) The lid 1 according to the first embodiment has a bonding region R. In the lid 1, the region that is bonded to the edge portion 103 in a plan view of the lid 1 is called the bonding region R. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the region corresponding to the bonding region R is the region on the opposing surface 73 side of the hatched portion. FIGS. 1A and 1B are a plan view and a bottom view, respectively, that schematically show an example of the lid 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0016] In the example of FIGS. 1A and 1B, the bonding region R corresponds to a region formed in a substantially annular shape along the opening 102 of the container 101 in a shape that corresponds to the opening 102.

[0017] 1A, 1B, and 1C, the lid body 1 according to the first embodiment has a joining region corresponding portion 5A and a lid region corresponding portion 5B. Fig. 1C is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the state of a vertical cross section taken along line AA in Fig. 1A.

[0018] (Part corresponding to the joining area) The joining area corresponding portion 5A is a portion of the lid body 1 corresponding to a region of the lid body 1 that is joined to the container 101 along the edge 103 of the container 101 when the line of sight is the thickness direction of the base sheet 3 (thickness direction of the lid body 1) described below. That is, the joining area corresponding portion 5A is a portion of the lid body 1 that corresponds to the joining area R (a region facing the edge 103 of the container 101 and joined to the container 101). In the lid-equipped container 150, the joining area corresponding portion 5A is a portion of the lid body 1 that forms the joining area 151 between the lid body 1 and the container 101. Specifically, in a plan view of the lid body 1 (when the line of sight is the Z-axis direction (vertical direction) in the example of FIG. 1A), the portion that forms the joining area R is defined as the joining area corresponding portion 5A. The joining area corresponding portion 5A is usually formed in a ring shape as shown in FIG. 1A. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1A , when the edge 103 of the container 101 is formed in a generally annular shape, the bonding region R is annular, and the corresponding bonding region 5A is also generally annular in a planar view of the lid 1. The outer edge of the corresponding bonding region 5A is determined according to the position of the outer edge of the bonding region R. The outer edge of the corresponding bonding region 5A may be located on the outer periphery of the lid 1, or may be located inside the outer periphery of the lid 1 as shown in the example of FIG. 1A. When the bonding region R between the lid 1 and the container 101 is not formed continuously, the portion sandwiched between adjacent bonding regions R and facing the edge 103 is also included in the corresponding bonding region 5A, which will be described later. The lid 1 has a base sheet 3, as will be described later. The planar view of the lid 1 shows the thickness direction of the lid 1 as the line of sight, and shows the same state as the planar view of the base sheet 3.

[0019] (Corresponding to the lid area) When the thickness direction of the base sheet 3 is taken as the line of sight, the lid region corresponding portion 5B is the portion of the lid 1 that is inward from the inner edge (inner peripheral edge 76) of the joining region corresponding portion 5A. The outer peripheral edge (outer peripheral edge 74) of the lid region corresponding portion 5B is common to the inner edge (inner peripheral edge 76) of the joining region corresponding portion 5A. The lid region corresponding portion 5B is the portion that covers the opening 102 in the lid-equipped container 150. The lid-equipped container 150 may have a small opening or a continuous portion, as described below, formed in the portion of the lid 1 that covers the opening 102.

[0020] (Outer area corresponding part) As shown in the example of FIG. 1A, the portion of the lid body 1 extending outward from the outer peripheral edge of the lid region corresponding portion 5B is referred to as the outer region corresponding portion 5C. In this example, the outer region corresponding portion 5C is formed outward from the outer edge portion (outer peripheral edge 77) of the joint region corresponding portion 5A, but this is just an example. As will be described later, in FIGS. 1A, 1B, etc., the portion of the outer region corresponding portion 5C extending outward from the position of the outer peripheral edge 77 of the joint region corresponding portion 5A is referred to as the outer edge corresponding portion 5D. In FIGS. 1A, 1B, etc., reference numeral 75 indicates the outer peripheral edge of the outer region corresponding portion 5C.

[0021] (opposing surface and exposed surface) When the lid 1 is joined to the edge 103 in a state where it is arranged to cover the opening 102 of the container 101, it has an opposing surface 73 which is a surface facing the container 101, and an exposed surface 72 which is a surface facing outward on the back side of the opposing surface 73. The opposing surface 73 corresponds to the surface facing the container 101, and the exposed surface 72 corresponds to the surface on the back side of the opposing surface 73.

[0022] The lid 1 has a base sheet 3 and a water-repellent layer 4 .

[0023] (Base sheet) The base sheet 3 is a sheet material that constitutes the main body, which forms the shape and structure of the lid body 1. The base sheet 3 is a sheet that contains paper-based fibers (hereinafter simply referred to as a fiber-containing sheet).

[0024] (fiber-containing sheet) The fiber-containing sheet 2, which becomes the base sheet 3, is a sheet material formed using a paper-based material. Examples of the fiber-containing sheet 2 include so-called paper, which is obtained by carrying out a papermaking process (papermaking process) in which a slurry of a fiber raw material (pulp-based fiber raw material) is spread onto a screen and dried or pressed to dry the resulting material; so-called air-laid sheets, which are obtained by stacking opened fiber raw materials such as ground pulp obtained by pulverizing a raw material sheet made of pulp-based fibers in a grinder, using an air flow to fix the fibers of the stack with a binder; and so-called papers, which are produced by agglutinating plant fibers and other fibers. The fiber-containing sheet 2 also includes sheets having a laminated structure in which multiple sheets of the above-mentioned paper are stacked.

[0025] Although the fiber-containing sheet 2 is not prohibited from containing fibers other than pulp, such as metal fibers and glass fibers, in addition to the paper-based material, it is formed from materials that avoid petroleum-based synthetic resins (so-called plastics). It is preferable that the fiber-containing sheet 2 be made primarily of paper-based fibers. "Major component" means that the mass ratio of the target component to the total mass is 50% by mass or more.

[0026] (paper-based materials) Paper-based materials may be made solely of pulp, or may contain non-pulp natural fibers, synthetic fibers, recycled fibers, or other fibers. However, it is preferable for the material to contain 50% or more by mass of pulp, more preferably 70% or more by mass, and even more preferably 80% or more by mass, with 100% by mass of pulp being particularly preferred.

[0027] In addition to the above-mentioned fibers, the paper-based material can also be a composite material with wood-based materials such as wood foil, or even aluminum foil. Even when the paper-based material is a composite material containing fibers and materials other than fibers, it is preferable that the composite material as a whole contains 50% or more by mass of pulp, and particularly preferably 80% or more by mass of pulp. The higher the pulp content, the more easily the paper-based material is biodegraded, which is preferable.

[0028] (water-repellent layer) The cover 1 has the water-repellent layer 4 on at least one side of the base sheet 3 as described above.

[0029] (Water-repellent layer material) The water-repellent layer 4 is a layer containing a non-synthetic resin-based hydrophobic organic compound. The water-repellent layer 4 may be composed of a layer made of a hydrophobic organic compound, or may have a structure in which a portion made of a hydrophobic organic compound also contains a portion made of a material different from the hydrophobic organic compound.

[0030] (hydrophobic organic compounds) The hydrophobic organic compound is a non-synthetic resin-based compound. The non-synthetic resin-based hydrophobic organic compound is defined as a hydrophobic organic compound excluding petroleum-based synthetic resins. Petroleum-based synthetic resin refers to a resin whose carbon source is petroleum. Therefore, the non-synthetic resin-based hydrophobic organic compound may be a resin whose carbon source is not petroleum, such as a plant-based compound. From the perspective of reducing environmental impact, it is preferable that the hydrophobic organic compound is biodegradable. Therefore, the hydrophobic organic compound may be a compound such as a plant-based biodegradable resin. The non-synthetic resin-based hydrophobic organic compound is preferably a hydrophobic organic compound having a molecular weight of about 10,000 or less, and in particular, a biodegradable organic compound is preferred. Examples of hydrophobic organic compounds having a molecular weight of about 10,000 or less include waxes.

[0031] Examples of waxes include paraffin wax with a molecular weight of approximately 300 to 550, microcrystalline wax, slack wax, montan wax, ceresin, ozokerite, beeswax, Japan wax, privet wax, shellac wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, rice wax, rose wax, sunflower seed wax, polyethylene wax, polypropylene wax, functional wax, and Fischer-Tropsch wax, with biodegradable waxes being preferred.

[0032] (Materials (additives) different from hydrophobic organic compounds) When the water-repellent layer 4 has a portion composed of a material other than the hydrophobic organic compound, examples of the material other than the hydrophobic organic compound include additives such as thickeners and inorganic salts. An example of a thickener is xanthan gum. An example of an inorganic salt is sodium chloride. The thickener facilitates optimizing the yield strength of the hydrophobic organic compound in the coating film-forming composition used to form the water-repellent layer 4 using a printing method. Suitable inorganic salts can function as dispersion aids that facilitate optimizing the dispersibility of the hydrophobic organic compound in the coating film-forming composition. In the water-repellent layer 4, such additives may be in a state where they are not mixed (not miscible) with the organic compound layer but are precipitated in a separate state within the water-repellent layer 4 (e.g., aggregated portions of the additive are embedded within the water-repellent layer 4).

[0033] (Position where water-repellent layer is formed) The water-repellent layer is provided on at least the lid region corresponding portion 5B closer to the opposing surface 73 than the base sheet 3. In the example of FIG. 1, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the surface of the base sheet 3. The water-repellent layer 4 may be provided on at least the lid region corresponding portion 5B on the opposing surface 73 side, such as when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on substantially the entire lid region corresponding portion 5B (FIG. 1) or when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on only a portion of the lid region corresponding portion 5B (FIG. 2A). The water-repellent layer 4 may be formed on substantially the entire lid region corresponding portion 5B, such as when the water-repellent layer 4 covers the entire surface of the lid region corresponding portion 5B facing the opposing surface 73, or when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the area of ​​the lid region corresponding portion 5B facing the opposing surface 73, excluding the outer periphery 74 of the lid region corresponding portion 5B and the corresponding area in the vicinity thereof. The water-repellent layer 4 is preferably formed on the entire surface of the lid region corresponding portion 5B facing the opposing surface 73. When the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the surface of the base sheet 3, the components forming the water-repellent layer 4 may penetrate into at least a part of the base sheet 3.

[0034] The water-repellent layer 4 may be formed partially up to the joining region corresponding portion 5A, or partially in an area extending further inward than the outer peripheral edge 74 of the lid region corresponding portion 5B (FIGS. 8A to 8C). However, even when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, it is preferable that at least a portion of the sheet exposed region SE (described later) be formed continuously along the direction in which the joining region corresponding portion 5A extends, and it is preferable that the sheet exposed region SE be formed in an annular shape, as shown in the example of FIG. 8B. In this case, it is possible to reduce the risk of the joining strength being significantly reduced in some areas when the lid 1 and the container 101 are heat-sealed.

[0035] The thickness of the water-repellent layer 4 may be partially thinner. In this case, it is preferable that the portion near the outer peripheral edge of the water-repellent layer 4 is the first thick portion 9, and the inside of the first thick portion 9 is the second thick portion 10 (FIGS. 7A to 7C). The thickness of the first thick portion 9 is thinner than that of the second thick portion 10. This can be achieved, for example, by changing the number of times the composition is applied when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed by applying the composition for forming the water-repellent layer 4 multiple times to the surface of the substrate sheet 3 to overlap the coating film partially or entirely. The number of times the composition is applied to the first thick portion 9 is less than that to the second thick portion 10. Note that this is just one example, and the method for forming the first thick portion 9 and the second thick portion 10 is not limited to this.

[0036] (Continuous surface forming part and discontinuous surface forming part) In the lid body 1 of the present invention shown in the examples of Figures 1B and 1C, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed by a continuous surface forming portion 6. The continuous surface forming portion 6 indicates the portion where the water-repellent layer 4 has a continuous surface structure in a plan view of the lid body 1. A continuous surface state indicates a state in which the water-repellent layer 4 extends in the surface direction of the lid body 1. The continuous surface forming portion 6 indicates a layered structural portion made up of components of a composition for forming the water-repellent layer 4 (a coating film-forming composition in the manufacturing method described below), and includes not only a layer in which each component of the composition is uniformly dispersed, but also a structure in which separated portions of the components of the composition are scattered within the layer.

[0037] The first embodiment is not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, and as will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2C and 2D, the water-repellent layer 4 may have a continuous surface forming portion 6 and a discontinuous surface forming portion 7. The discontinuous surface forming portion 7 refers to a portion in a plan view of the lid 1 where a portion made of a hydrophobic organic compound and a portion made of a material other than the hydrophobic organic compound (these portions are collectively referred to as adhesive portions 8) are dispersedly formed (a state in which structural portions forming the water-repellent layer 4 are distributed on the surface of the base sheet 3). The discontinuous surface forming portion 7 is defined as a portion where a large number of adhesive portions 8 are dispersedly formed and where the base sheet 3 is exposed between at least some of the adjacent adhesive portions 8.

[0038] (Sheet exposed area) In the cover 1, a sheet exposed region SE, which exposes the base sheet 3, is formed in at least a portion of the surface of the bonding region corresponding portion 5A that forms the opposing surface 73. In the example of Fig. 1A to Fig. 1C, the sheet exposed region SE is formed in the entire surface of the bonding region corresponding portion 5A that forms the opposing surface 73. In this case, the base sheet 3 is exposed over the entire bonding region R.

[0039] 2A, the sheet exposed area SE may be formed up to a predetermined area on the lid area corresponding portion 5B side of the bonding area corresponding portion 5A, as long as it is formed in at least a part of the area on the opposing surface 73 side of the bonding area corresponding portion 5A. In this case, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the surface of the lid area corresponding portion 5B on the opposing surface 73 side, inside the outer peripheral edge 74.

[0040] When the discontinuous surface forming portion 7 is formed on the water-repellent layer 4, the region between adjacent attachment portions 8 on the surface of the base sheet 3 may be the sheet exposed region SE. For example, the sheet exposed region SE formed in the region between adjacent attachment portions 8 may be formed inside the lid region corresponding portion 5B as shown in FIG. 2C. Furthermore, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 2D, when the boundary between the bonding region corresponding portion 5A and the lid region corresponding portion 5B is located between adjacent attachment portions, the sheet exposed region SE formed in the region between adjacent attachment portions 8 may be formed in a region straddling the boundary between the bonding region corresponding portion 5A and the lid region corresponding portion 5B. However, when the sheet exposed region SE is formed inside the lid region corresponding portion 5B as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, from the viewpoint of further improving the water resistance of the lid body 1, it is preferable that the area of ​​the sheet exposed region SE in the region between adjacent attachment portions 8 be as small as possible. In addition, when a separate component (a different component) is attached to a predetermined area including the sheet exposed area SE in the area between adjacent attachment portions 8, the area of ​​the sheet exposed area SE in the area between adjacent attachment portions 8 may be determined according to the area required for attaching the different component.

[0041] (Condition of exposed surface) In the description of the first embodiment, the configuration of the exposed surface 72 side of the lid 1 is not particularly limited, and a printed layer forming a design may be formed thereon, or a hydrophilic layer may be formed thereon (not shown). Note that the surface of the lid 1 facing the exposed surface 72 may form a sheet exposed area SE, as will be described later. In the example of FIG. 1A, the entire exposed surface 72 is the sheet exposed area SE. However, this is just one example, and the state of the surface of the lid 1 facing the exposed surface 72 is not limited to the case where the entire surface is the sheet exposed area SE.

[0042] [1-1-2 Manufacturing method] An example of a method for manufacturing the lid 1 will be described. A composition (coating film-forming composition) is prepared by adding a material for forming the water-repellent layer 4 to a non-aqueous solvent. A fiber-containing sheet 2 is prepared, and the coating film-forming composition is applied to a predetermined area of ​​the fiber-containing sheet 2 to form a coating film (coating step). The coating film is then dried (drying step). At this time, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed as a coating film in a predetermined layout. The fiber-containing sheet 2 is then punched out into a shape corresponding to the lid 1. The punching positions are specified according to the layout of the coating film (layout of the water-repellent layer 4). This forms a blank material that constitutes the lid 1. This blank material may be used as the lid 1, or tabs or the like, described below, may be provided as needed. The tabs or the like may be arranged before the fiber-containing sheet 2 is punched out into a shape corresponding to the lid 1.

[0043] In the production method described above, the hydrophobic organic compound contained in the coating film-forming composition can be selected from those described above. The non-aqueous solvent is not particularly limited as long as it can be mixed with the hydrophobic organic compound, and examples thereof include alcohol-based solvents such as ethanol.

[0044] In the drying step, the water and non-aqueous solvent contained in the coating film may be almost completely evaporated, or some water and non-aqueous solvent may remain in the coating film.

[0045] The amount of the hydrophobic organic compound contained in the composition for forming a coating film can be determined appropriately.

[0046] The coating process is not particularly limited as long as it is a method that can form a coating film on the surface of the substrate sheet 3 using the composition for forming a coating film in a predetermined layout, and examples include printing methods such as gravure printing and screen printing.

[0047] [1-1-3 Actions and Effects] When a lid is joined to a container using a heat sealing method or the like, a resin coating layer is usually formed on the surface of the container to waterproof the container. Typically, the material of the resin coating layer is often a relatively low-polarity or non-polar resin such as polyolefin, which is often a resin that is poorly compatible with other common polar resins (e.g., polycarbonate, etc.). For this reason, there is a demand for a method that makes it possible to bond a container and a lid by a heat sealing method even if the types of resins that make up the resin coating layer formed on the surface of the container are diversified.

[0048] In conventional lids using a base sheet made of a paper-based material, a resin layer made of a so-called plastic material has been formed on the surface of the base sheet to impart water resistance to the paper-based material. In such cases, depending on the combination of the type of resin constituting the resin coating layer formed on the surface of the container and the type of plastic resin layer formed on the surface of the paper-based material, even if the lid is manufactured using a paper-based material, it may be difficult to heat-seal the lid to the container.

[0049] Furthermore, paper-based materials in which a resin layer is formed on the surface of a base material using plastic as a material pose an environmental burden problem because plastic is used.

[0050] In the lid 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the lid region corresponding portion 5B. Therefore, when a liquid is stored in the container 101 in the lid-equipped container 150 state, even if the liquid adheres to the facing surface 73 of the lid 1, the risk of the liquid penetrating into the base sheet 3 constituting the lid 1 can be reduced, improving the water resistance of the lid made of a paper-based material. Furthermore, a sheet exposed region SE is formed on the facing surface 73 side of the joining region corresponding portion 5A of the lid 1, which prevents the formation of a water-repellent layer 4 in at least a portion of the joining region R. Therefore, when the lid 1 is joined to a container 101 whose surface is coated with a resin coating layer using a heat sealing method, the heat sealability in the joining region R can be prevented from being reduced by a hydrophobic organic compound.

[0051] When the water-repellent layer 4 is formed over substantially the entire area of ​​the facing surface 73 side of the lid region corresponding portion 5B, the portion of the water-repellent layer 4 near the outer edge can be in contact with the edge 103 of the container 101, as shown in FIG. 16A . This reduces the risk of the liquid WT penetrating the sheet-exposed area SE through the joint 151 of the lid-equipped container 150 when the container 101 is filled with the liquid, thereby improving the water resistance at the joint 151 between the container 101 and the lid 1. As shown in the example shown in FIG. 16A , it is preferable that the outer edge of the water-repellent layer 4 be slightly crushed due to the pressure applied when forming the lid-equipped container 150 using a heat-sealing method. This increases the contact area between the portion of the water-repellent layer 4 near the outer edge and the edge 103 of the container 101, further improving the water resistance at the joint 151 between the container 101 and the lid 1. FIG. 16A is a partially enlarged view that schematically illustrates a partially enlarged state of a joint 151 and its vicinity in a lidded container 150 in which the lid 1 according to the first embodiment is attached to a container 101. FIG.

[0052] Furthermore, in the lid 1, a compound corresponding to a non-plastic, different from so-called plastics, can be suitably used as the hydrophobic organic compound forming the water-repellent layer 4. In this specification, plastic generally refers to a polymer of compounds, such as synthetic resins, that has a large molecular weight. The molecular weight of the hydrophobic organic compound forming the water-repellent layer 4 is somewhat smaller than that of the polymer compounds that constitute general plastics. As described above, a compound with a molecular weight of approximately 10,000 or less is suitably used as the hydrophobic organic compound. Hydrophobic organic compounds are considered to be non-plastics that are different from general plastics. Note that the molecular weight values ​​shown for hydrophobic compounds are merely examples, and even compounds with a molecular weight exceeding 10,000 can be considered hydrophobic organic compounds as long as they do not satisfy the conditions for a polymer and a high molecular weight compound, unlike general plastics.

[0053] In this way, the lid body 1 can be formed from a non-plastic material, which can improve both the heat sealing properties and water resistance of the container 101, and is also effective in reducing environmental impact.

[0054] A modification of the first embodiment will be described.

[0055] [1-1-4 Variation] (Variation 1) In the lid body 1 according to the first embodiment, the water-repellent layer 4 may be formed not only on the lid region corresponding portion 5B but also on a portion of the joining region corresponding portion 5A, as shown in FIG. 2B . This configuration is referred to as Modification 1 of the first embodiment. In the example of the lid body 1 according to Modification 1 of the first embodiment, the portion of the water-repellent layer 4 formed on the lid region corresponding portion 5B may be a portion of the lid region corresponding portion 5B, or may be formed on the entire lid region corresponding portion 5B. When the formation region of the water-repellent layer 4 is a portion of the lid region corresponding portion 5B, if the region of the lid region corresponding portion 5B excluding the formation region of the water-repellent layer 4 is made a non-formation region, it becomes easy to join other members to the non-formation region using a heat sealing method or the like.

[0056] Furthermore, in Modification 1 of the first embodiment, the water-repellent layer 4 is preferably formed along the inner peripheral edge of the joining region corresponding portion 5A (the outer peripheral edge of the lid region corresponding portion 5B) to a position slightly inside the joining region corresponding portion 5A (a position closer to the inner edge than the center of the joining region corresponding portion 5A). In this case, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed to a position slightly inside the joining region R. When a pressing force is applied when pressing the lid body 1 against the container 101 to heat-seal the lid body 1 to the container 101, the end of the water-repellent layer 4 is likely to come into contact with the inner edge of the edge portion 103 of the container 101. In addition, the pressing force crushes the water-repellent layer 4 at the edge portion 103, making it easier to form a state in which the water-repellent layer 4 fills the gap between the inner edge of the edge portion 103 and the base sheet. In this case, it is possible to effectively prevent liquid contained in the container 101 from entering the sheet-exposed region SE from the position of the inner edge of the edge portion 103. In the first modification of the first embodiment, the portion of the water-repellent layer 4 located in the bonding area corresponding portion 5A forms part of the bonding portion 151 that bonds the lid 1 to the container 101. However, the bonding strength of the bonding portion 151 between the water-repellent layer 4 and the container 101 is smaller than the bonding strength of the bonding portion 151 between the base sheet 3 and the container 101 in the sheet exposed area SE.

[0057] (Variation 2) In the lid body 1 according to the first embodiment, when the water-repellent layer 4 has a continuous surface-forming portion 6 and a discontinuous surface-forming portion 7, the water-repellent layer 4 may be formed such that the discontinuous surface-forming portion 7 is disposed outside the continuous surface-forming portion 6 in a plan view of the base sheet 3 (in a plan view of the lid body 1), as shown in FIG. 2D . This configuration in the present invention is referred to as Modified Example 2 of the first embodiment. FIG. 2D is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the lid body 1 according to Modified Example 2 of the first embodiment. In the example of the lid body 1 according to Modified Example 2 of the first embodiment, when the lid body 1 is placed on the edge portion 103 of the container 101 so as to cover the opening 102 of the container 101 in order to heat-seal the lid body 1 to the container 101, even if there is some misalignment between the lid body 1 and the container 101, it is difficult to form a state in which the continuous surface-forming portion 6 of the lid body 1 is disposed directly above the edge portion 103, thereby reducing the risk of it being difficult to heat-seal the lid body 1 and the container 101 with sufficient adhesive strength.

[0058] 2D, the configuration shown in Modification 1 of the first embodiment is preferably provided. In the lid 1 according to Modification 2 of the first embodiment, the portion of the water-repellent layer 4 formed in the bonded region corresponding portion 5A is preferably a discontinuous surface forming portion 7. In this case, the sheet-exposed region SE formed between the adhesive portion 8 constituting the discontinuous surface forming portion 7 and the adjacent adhesive portion 8 preferably straddles the boundary between the bonded region corresponding portion 5A and the lid region corresponding portion 5B. When a pressing force is applied when pressing the lid 1 against the container 101 to heat-seal the lid 1 to the container 101, the discontinuous surface forming portion 7 of the water-repellent layer 4 is likely to come into contact with the vicinity of the inner edge of the edge portion 103 of the container 101. The pressing force causes the adhering portion 8 of the discontinuous surface-forming portion 7 of the water-repellent layer 4 to be crushed by the edge portion 103 and spread in the planar direction of the facing surface 73, facilitating the formation of a state in which the water-repellent layer 4 fills the space between the inner end of the edge portion 103 and the base sheet while partially leaving the sheet-exposed region SE, as shown in FIG. 16B . For ease of explanation, the portion where the sheet-exposed region SE remains is omitted from FIG. 16B . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16B , the liquid WT contained in the container 101 can be effectively prevented from entering the sheet-exposed region SE from the position of the inner end of the edge portion 103, further improving the water resistance at the joint 151 between the container 101 and the lid 1. Furthermore, even when the discontinuous surface-forming portion 7 of the water-repellent layer 4 is crushed by the edge portion 103 and spreads in the planar direction of the facing surface 73, the partial remaining portion that will become the sheet-exposed region SE makes it less likely that the heat-sealability between the lid 1 and the container 101 will be impaired. Note that Figure 16B is a partially enlarged schematic view showing a partially enlarged state of the joint 151 and its surrounding area in a lidded container 150 in which a lid 1 according to variant example 2 of the first embodiment is attached to a container 101.

[0059] (Variation 3) In the lid body 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the water-repellent layer 4 may be further provided on the lid region corresponding portion 5B closer to the exposed surface 72 than the base sheet 3. This configuration in the present invention is referred to as Modification 3 of the first embodiment. FIGS. 3A and 3B are a plan view and a bottom view showing an example of the lid body 1 according to Modification 3 of the first embodiment. FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the state of the vertical cross section taken along line BB in FIG. 3A. Note that FIGS. 3A to 3C also serve as views for explaining Modification 4 of the first embodiment, which will be described later.

[0060] In the example of the lid body 1 according to variant example 3 of the first embodiment, the water-repellent layer 4 provided on the exposed surface 72 side is provided so as to cover almost the entire area of ​​the exposed surface 72 of the lid area corresponding portion 5B, but this is just one example.

[0061] In the lid body 1 according to Modification 3 of the first embodiment, the water-repellent layer 4 provided on the lid region corresponding portion 5B facing the facing surface 73 is designated as the first water-repellent layer 4A, and the water-repellent layer 4 provided on the lid region corresponding portion 5B facing the exposed surface 72 is designated as the second water-repellent layer 4B. When the thickness direction of the base sheet 3 is the line of sight, the area where the first water-repellent layer 4A is formed and the area where the second water-repellent layer 4B is formed may be individually defined. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C , the area where the second water-repellent layer 4B is formed may be formed larger than the area where the first water-repellent layer 4A is formed. FIGS. 4A and 4B are plan and cross-sectional views illustrating another example of the lid body 1 according to Modification 3 of the first embodiment. FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the state of the vertical cross section taken along line CC in FIG. 4A . Similar to the description of FIGS. 3A to 3C , FIGS. 4A to 4C also serve to explain Modification 4 of the first embodiment, which will be described later.

[0062] Furthermore, in the lid body 1 according to the third modification of the first embodiment, the area where the second water-repellent layer 4B is formed may be formed smaller than the area where the first water-repellent layer 4A is formed (not shown).

[0063] In the lid 1 according to the third modification of the first embodiment, it is preferable that the area where the first water-repellent layer 4A is formed overlaps the area where the second water-repellent layer 4B is formed. In the example shown in Figures 3A to 3C, the first water-repellent layer 4A and the second water-repellent layer 4B are both formed over substantially the entire area of ​​the lid region corresponding portion 5B, and therefore substantially overlap. When the area where the first water-repellent layer 4A is formed overlaps the area where the second water-repellent layer 4B is formed, curling of the lid 1 itself can be more effectively suppressed when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed as a coating film on the lid 1.

[0064] The thickness of the first water-repellent layer 4A and the thickness of the second water-repellent layer 4B may be determined separately, but it is preferable that they are approximately the same thickness from the viewpoint of preventing curling in the lid 1. The material of the first water-repellent layer 4A and the material of the second water-repellent layer 4B may be determined separately, but it is preferable that they are the same material from the viewpoint of preventing curling in the lid 1.

[0065] (Variation 4) In the above description of the first embodiment, the configuration of the exposed surface 72 side of the lid 1 is not particularly limited, and for example, a hydrophilic layer may be formed. As described above with reference to FIG. 1 and the like, the sheet exposed area SE may be formed on the exposed surface 72. In the lid 1 according to Modification 3 of the first embodiment, it is particularly preferable that the sheet exposed area SE is further formed on at least a portion of the surface of the bonding area corresponding portion 5A that forms the exposed surface 72, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C. This embodiment of the present invention is referred to as Modification 4 of the first embodiment. In the lid 1 according to Modification 4 of the first embodiment shown in the example of FIGS. 3A to 3C, the sheet exposed area SE formed on the exposed surface 72 side is formed to cover substantially the entire exposed surface 72 of the bonding area corresponding portion 5A, but this is just one example.

[0066] In the lid 1 according to Modification 4 of the first embodiment, the sheet exposed area SE on the facing surface 73 side of the bonded area corresponding portion 5A is designated as the first sheet exposed area SE1, and the sheet exposed area SE on the exposed surface 72 side of the bonded area corresponding portion 5A is designated as the second sheet exposed area SE2. When the thickness direction of the base sheet 3 is taken as the line of sight, the first sheet exposed area SE1 and the second sheet exposed area SE2 may be individually defined. However, it is preferable that the first sheet exposed area SE1 and the second sheet exposed area SE2 overlap. In the example shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the first sheet exposed area SE1 and the second sheet exposed area SE2 are both formed over substantially the entire bonded area corresponding portion 5A, and therefore substantially overlap. When the first sheet exposed area SE1 and the second sheet exposed area SE2 overlap, as in Modification 3, curling of the lid 1 can be more effectively suppressed when the water-repellent layer 4 is formed as a coating film on the lid 1.

[0067] In the lid 1, as shown in Figures 4A to 4C, the exposed region SE2 of the second sheet may be formed so as to avoid the corresponding joining region 5A. However, as shown in Figures 3A to 3C, it is preferable that the exposed region SE2 of the second sheet be formed over the entire exposed surface 72 of the corresponding joining region 5A. In this case, since the formation of the water-repellent layer 4 in the corresponding joining region 5A is avoided, it is possible to prevent the water-repellent layer 4 from dissolving when the lid 1 is joined to the container 101 by heat sealing, and thus to prevent a portion of the water-repellent layer 4 from being transferred to the pressing body used for heat sealing. This prevents contamination of the pressing body. The pressing body applies a pressing force to the lid 1 and the container 101.

[0068] (Variation 5) In the lid 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the water-repellent layer 4 may be further provided on a portion (referred to as an outer edge corresponding portion 5D) of the outer region corresponding portion 5C that is outward from the outer edge (outer peripheral edge 77) of the joining region corresponding portion 5A, and closer to the exposed surface 72 than the base sheet 3. This configuration is referred to as Modification 5 of the first embodiment. FIGS. 5A and 5B are a plan view and a cross-sectional view showing another example of the lid 1 according to Modification 5 of the first embodiment. FIG. 5C is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the state of the longitudinal section taken along line DD in FIG. 5A.

[0069] In the fifth modification of the first embodiment, the area of ​​the portion of the water-repellent layer 4 formed on the outer edge corresponding portion 5D may be a part of the area of ​​the exposed surface 72 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D, or may be the entire area of ​​the area of ​​the exposed surface 72 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D. In the cover 1 according to the fifth modification of the first embodiment shown in the example of Figures 5A to 5C, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on almost the entire area of ​​the area of ​​the exposed surface 72 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D.

[0070] According to the lid 1 of Modification 5 of the first embodiment, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on at least a portion of the surface of the outer edge corresponding portion 5D on the exposed surface 72 side, thereby reducing the risk of the user experiencing a rough texture when the user sips their mouth on the outer edge of the lid 1. For example, if a rough surface is used as the base sheet 3 and the base sheet 3 is exposed at the outer edge corresponding portion 5D of the lid 1, the surface of the outer edge corresponding portion 5D may become rough. If a beverage such as coffee is stored in the container 101 and the lid 1 has a small opening 56 (described below), the user's mouth may come into contact with the outer edge of the lid 1 when drinking from the small opening 56. In such a case, a rough surface of the outer edge corresponding portion 5D may cause discomfort to the user. In this regard, according to Modification 5 of the lid 1, the risk of the user experiencing a rough texture when the user sips their mouth on the outer edge of the lid 1 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the user experiencing discomfort.

[0071] According to the lid body 1 of variant example 5, a water-repellent layer 4 is formed in the area of ​​the exposed surface 72 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D, which makes it easy to increase the stiffness and rigidity of the outer edge portion of the lid body 1 (reducing sagging of the base sheet).

[0072] (Variation 6) In the lid body 1 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the water-repellent layer 4 may be further provided on the outer edge corresponding portion 5D, closer to the opposing surface 73 than the base sheet 3. This configuration is referred to as Modification 6 of the first embodiment. The outer edge corresponding portion 5D is defined in the same manner as in Modification 5 above, and therefore will not be described here. FIGS. 6A and 6B are a plan view and a cross-sectional view showing another example of the lid body 1 according to Modification 6 of the first embodiment. FIG. 6C is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the state of the longitudinal section taken along line EE in FIG. 6A. FIGS. 6A to 6C show an example of the lid body 1 according to Modification 6 of the first embodiment, in which the configuration of Modifications 3 and 5 of the first embodiment is combined with the configuration shown in Modification 6. Therefore, in FIGS. 6A to 6B, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the exposed surface 72 and the opposing surface 73 of the lid region corresponding portion 5B and the outer edge corresponding portion 5D. The sheet exposed area SE is formed on the exposed surface 72 and the opposing surface 73 side of the joint area corresponding portion 5A.

[0073] The portion of the water-repellent layer 4 formed on the outer region corresponding portion 5C may be a part of the area of ​​the facing surface 73 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D, or it may be the entire area of ​​the area of ​​the facing surface 73 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D. In the lid body 1 according to Modification 6 shown in the example of Figures 6A to 6C, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on almost the entire area of ​​the area of ​​the facing surface 73 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D. In the lid body 1 according to Modification 6, the water-repellent layer 4 is formed on the area of ​​the facing surface 73 corresponding to the outer edge corresponding portion 5D, which makes it easy to increase the stiffness of the outer peripheral edge (outer peripheral edge 75) of the lid body 1.

[0074] In the lid 1 according to the sixth modification of the first embodiment shown in the example of Fig. 6, it is preferable that the portion of the water-repellent layer formed on the opposing surface of the outer edge corresponding portion and the portion of the water-repellent layer formed on the exposed surface of the outer edge corresponding portion are formed to overlap with each other, as described in the fourth modification. This can enhance the effect of suppressing the occurrence of curvature (curling) of the lid 1.

[0075] Note that the configurations described in Modifications 3 and 5 may be omitted from the lid body 1 according to Modification 6 of the first embodiment shown in the example of Fig. 6. In this case, the portion formed on the exposed surface 72 side of the lid region corresponding portion 5B and the portion on the exposed surface 72 side of the outer edge corresponding portion 5D are omitted from the water-repellent layer 4 shown in Fig. 6.

[0076] [1-2 Second embodiment] A second embodiment of the lid of the present invention will be described. [1-2-1 Lid structure] As shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, the lid 1 according to the second embodiment is configured similarly to the first embodiment except for the formation of the insertion port 19. FIGS. 9A and 9B are a plan view and a cross-sectional view, respectively, showing an example of the lid 1 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 9C is a diagram showing a cross section taken along line HH in FIG. 9A. In the second embodiment, the base sheet 3, the water-repellent layer 4, the hydrophobic organic compound, and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment. Note that in the description of the second embodiment, the same points as those in the first embodiment will not be described.

[0077] (Outlet) The insertion port 19 is a structural portion that allows various members to be inserted into the container 101 from the outside when the lid 1 is used as a lid-equipped container 150. Examples of insertable members include a straw. The insertion port 19 is formed at least in the lid region corresponding portion 5B, and in the example of FIGS. 9A and 9B, it is formed by a through-hole 21. The through-hole 21 has a structure (a penetrating structure) cut in the vertical direction (thickness direction, Z-axis direction) from one surface (exposed surface 72) of the lid 1 to the other surface (opposing surface 73), and is a so-called cut portion 20. The through-hole 21 can function as a gas vent. Here, the gas vent refers to a portion that allows gas to pass from one surface side of the lid 1 to the other surface side (from the opposing surface 73 side to the exposed surface 72 side).

[0078] (Socket shape) The shape of the insertion port 19 is not particularly limited as long as it can be formed by cutting. For example, in the example of Fig. 9A, the cover 1 has a cutout 20 formed in the shape of a cross cut into the cover 1 in the vertical direction, and this cutout 20 forms a through-port 21, which constitutes the insertion port 19. Note that this is just one example, and the shape of the cutout 20 that forms the through-port 21 is not limited to a cross shape, and may be a C-shape or any other shape such as a tongue-like shape, as long as it is usable as the insertion port 19.

[0079] 9B , in the lid 1, the cross section of the base sheet 3 is exposed at the cut surface of the slit that forms the through-hole 21, and the end face of the water-repellent layer 4 is disposed or the cross section of the water-repellent layer 4 is exposed in at least a part of the portion corresponding to the surface of the base sheet 3. In this case, it is preferable that the water-repellent layer 4 covers at least a part of the cut surface of the slit that forms the through-hole 21 of the base sheet 3. By having the water-repellent layer 4 cover the above-mentioned cut surface, it is possible to slightly suppress the penetration of the liquid contained in the container 101 from the through-hole 21 into the base sheet 3.

[0080] [1-2-2 Actions and Effects] The lid 1 according to the second embodiment can provide the same effects as those of the first embodiment.

[0081] Next, a modification of the second embodiment will be described.

[0082] [1-2-3 Variation] (Variation) In the lid 1 according to the second embodiment, the insertion port 19 may be formed with a weakened portion 24, as shown in Figs. 10A and 10B. This configuration is referred to as a modified example of the second embodiment. Fig. 10A is a plan view schematically showing an example of the lid 1 according to the modified example of the second embodiment. Fig. 10B is a view schematically showing an example of a vertical cross section taken along line II in Fig. 10A.

[0083] (Weakening part) As shown in the example of FIG. 10A , the weakened portion 24 has a plurality of through-holes 21 and at least one continuous portion 22 formed between the ends of at least two of the through-holes 21. When a lifting or depressing force is applied to the weakened portion 24 to form a divided portion in the lid, the weakened portion 24 guides the position where the division will occur (the division position). In other words, the position where the division will occur is formed generally along the weakened portion. For example, in the example of FIG. 10A , when a force is applied that presses down the portion corresponding to the socket 19 from the exposed surface 72 side toward the opposing surface 73 side, the continuous portion 22 is broken, a division occurs from the continuous portion 22 along the through-holes 21, and the socket 19 is opened (the socket 19 is opened).

[0084] (Layout of weakened parts) The layout of the weakened portion 24 is not particularly limited and may be determined depending on conditions such as the function of the weakened portion 24. In the example of the weakened portion 24 shown in FIG. 10A , the continuous portion 22 is formed in one location, and a total of four through-holes 21 are formed. In this example, the through-holes 21 are formed so as to extend radially in four different directions from the continuous portion 22. Note that this is just one example of the weakened portion 24, and in the case where the weakened portion 24 has a plurality of through-holes 21 formed radially around the continuous portion 22, the through-holes 21 may extend in three directions away from the continuous portion 22, or may extend in five or more directions. Furthermore, the through-holes 21 may extend in two directions away from the continuous portion 22.

[0085] 10A, the weakened portion 24 is formed in a cross shape, but may be formed in a C shape. Furthermore, the formation location of the continuous portion 22 is not limited to one location as shown in the example of FIG. 10A, but may be formed in multiple locations.

[0086] The position of the weakened portion 24 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the weakened portion 24 be provided in the lid region corresponding portion 5B. In this case, the dividing position is formed in the lid region corresponding portion 5B.

[0087] (Continuous section) The continuous portion 22 may be any portion formed so as not to penetrate the lid 1. It may be a non-cut portion, or, as shown in FIG. 11 , a half-cut portion 26 formed by cutting the lid 1 in the thickness direction to a degree that avoids penetrating the lid 1. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the continuous portion 22 is a half-cut portion 26. The half-cut portion 26 is specified as a portion that forms a half-cut structure, in which the lid 1 is cut partway through the thickness direction of the lid 1. Note that the half-cut portion 26 is not limited to a portion that is cut halfway through the thickness direction of the lid 1. The half-cut portion 26 also includes a structure in which the lid 1 is cut halfway through the thickness of the lid 1 while avoiding penetration, and a structure in which the lid 1 is cut less than halfway through the thickness direction of the lid 1. Note that, although the case in which the continuous portion 22 is a half-cut portion 26 has been described above, the entire portion that forms the insertion opening 19 (the entire weakened portion 24) may be a half-cut portion 26.

[0088] [1-3 Third embodiment] A third embodiment of the lid of the present invention will be described. [1-3-1 Lid structure] As shown in FIGS. 12A, 12B, and 12C, the lid 1 according to the third embodiment includes a base portion 52 having a small opening 56 with an opening area smaller than the opening 102 of the container 101, a small lid portion 53 for opening and closing the small opening 56, and a hinge portion 54 connecting the base portion 52 and the small lid portion 53. In other respects, the lid 1 according to the third embodiment is configured similarly to the first or second embodiment. For example, in the third embodiment, the configurations of the base sheet 3, the water-repellent layer 4, the hydrophobic organic compound, the bonding region corresponding portion 5A, the lid region corresponding portion 5B, and the outer region corresponding portion 5C are the same as those described in the first embodiment. In the description of the third embodiment, the same points as those described in the first or second embodiment will not be described. FIGS. 12A and 12B are plan and cross-sectional views, respectively, that schematically illustrate an example of the lid 1 according to the third embodiment. FIG. 12C is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which small lid portion 53 has been displaced to expose small opening 56.

[0089] As shown in Figures 12A, 12B, etc., the lid body 1 according to the third embodiment has a base portion 52, a small lid portion 53, and a hinge portion 54. In the example of Figures 12A and 12B, the lid region corresponding portion 5B of the lid body 1 has the base portion 52, the small lid portion 53, and the hinge portion 54, and the outer region corresponding portion 5C has the base portion 52 (the base portion 52 is formed across the lid region corresponding portion 5B and the outer region corresponding portion 5C).

[0090] (base part) The base portion 52 is defined as a portion that has a bonding area corresponding portion 5A and forms a small opening 56. The base portion 52 can be a portion that determines a reference for displacement of the small lid portion 53, which will be described later. In the example of FIG. 12A, in a plan view of the lid body 1, the base portion 52 and the small lid portion 53 form an exposed surface 72 of the lid body 1. In the lid body 1 according to the third embodiment, in a plan view of the lid body 1 (when the line of sight is in the Z-axis direction (up and down direction) in the example of FIG. 12A), the bonding area corresponding portion 5A corresponds to the portion that forms the bonding area R, and is formed in the base portion 52.

[0091] (small opening) The small opening 56 is formed to penetrate the surface 73 of the lid 1 facing the container 101 and the surface of the lid 1 not facing the container 101 (the exposed surface 72 of the lid 1). In FIG. 12A , the small opening 56 is formed as an opening on the inside of the base portion 52 (at a position closer to the center CT than the outer peripheral edge 75 of the outer region corresponding portion 5C). The small opening 56 is formed on the inside of the portion of the lid 1 corresponding to the joining region corresponding portion 5A in a plan view so as to have a smaller opening area than the opening 102 of the container 101. The small opening 56 is intended to form an opening for the contents (e.g., beverages, food, etc.) in the space portion 105 of the container 101 when the lid 1 is joined to the container 101. The small opening 56 forms an opening forming portion 60 in combination with the small lid portion 53 described below.

[0092] (Aperture forming part) As shown in FIG. 12A and other figures, the opening-forming portion 60 is defined as a portion having the small opening 56 and the small lid portion 53. In the opening-forming portion 60, the small opening 56 opens and closes as the small lid portion 53 is displaced. The opening-forming portion 60 is configured so that the small lid portion 53 closes the small opening 56 as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B , and the small lid portion 53 is displaced to open the small opening 56 as shown in FIG. 12C . When the small lid portion 53 is rotated relative to the base portion 52 so as to be pulled up, the small opening 56 appears, becoming an exposure opening that exposes the interior of the container 101 to the outside when the container 101 is in the lid-equipped container state 150. That is, the opening-forming portion 60 combines the small opening 56 and the small lid portion 53 so that the space 105 of the container 101 can be seen through the small opening 56 when the small lid portion 53 is pulled up with the lid 1 attached to the container 101. FIG. 12C is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the small opening 56 is open.

[0093] When small opening 56 is in the exposed state, it can be used as a supply port for additional liquid such as a beverage or solids such as ice, as will be described later. Also, when a liquid such as a beverage exists inside container 101 (space 105), small opening 56 may be used as a drinking port or a pouring port for the beverage.

[0094] (Small lid) The lid body 1 is provided with a small lid portion 53. The small lid portion 53 is formed to be able to cover the small opening 56 so as to be able to open and close it. The small lid portion 53 is formed so as to be able to be lifted up relative to the base portion 52, and the small opening 56 is formed (opened) when the small lid portion 53 is lifted up. In the example shown in FIG. 12A , the shape of the small lid portion 53 can be determined so that the outer peripheral contour shape of the small lid portion 53 conforms to the shape of the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56 when the small lid portion 53 closes the small opening 56. In this case, it is easy to bring the end face of the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53 into contact with the end face of the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56 when the small lid portion 53 closes the small opening 56.

[0095] In the lid body 1 shown in the example of FIG. 12A, the small lid portion 53 is provided inside the joining area corresponding portion 5A (lid area corresponding portion 5B) (toward the center CT of the lid area corresponding portion 5B) in a plan view of the lid body 1. The small lid portion 53 is displaced (rotated) so that it is in a lifted state. The small lid portion 53 is connected to the base portion 52 by a hinge portion 54. As the small lid portion 53 is lifted around the hinge portion 54 as a support axis, the small opening 56 is exposed.

[0096] In the lid body 1, when the small lid portion 53 is raised, the small opening 56 is exposed as described above. This state is called the open lid state. When the small opening 56 is covered by the small lid portion 53, it is called the closed lid state.

[0097] The lid body 1 can be closed again even after it has been in the open state (after the small opening 56 has been exposed by the small lid portion 53 being raised), and when it is in the closed state, the end face (outer peripheral end face) of the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53 can face the end face of the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56 in the base portion 52.

[0098] (hinge part) As described above, the cover 1 has the hinge portion 54. The hinge portion 54 is generally configured by a portion corresponding to a line segment connecting the two base ends 84 along the outer circumferential edge 53A of the small cover portion 53, and corresponds to the boundary between the base portion 52 and the small cover portion 53. The hinge portion 54 is a portion that serves as the pivot axis when the small cover portion 53 rotates. However, when the small cover portion 53 rotates, this includes not only a case where the small cover portion 53 rises from the base portion 52 at a fixed angle at the position of the hinge portion 54, but also a case where the small cover portion 53 rises while gradually curving from the hinge portion 54 toward the front edge portion 85 of the small cover portion 53.

[0099] The base portion 52 is connected to the small cover portion 53 at least by a hinge portion 54. The structure of the hinge portion 54 is not particularly limited as long as it is a portion that is defined as the boundary between the base portion 52 and the small cover portion 53. The hinge portion 54 may have a perforated structure or a half-cut portion, similar to the connection structure described below.

[0100] (Boundary between the outer edge of the small lid and the opening edge of the small opening) At the boundary between the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53 and the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56, when the lid body 1 is not in use (when the lid body is not yet in an open state), the small lid portion 53 and the small opening 56 may be separated (disconnected), or a connecting structure may be formed as described below. When the small lid portion 53 and the small opening 56 are disconnected at the boundary between the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53 and the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56, a structure (for example, a structure similar to the through portion 21) is formed that separates the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53 and the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56. The structure of the through portion 21 is the same as that described for the lid body 1 of the second embodiment, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.

[0101] (Connection structure between base and small lid) In the lid body 1, a structure (connection structure) may be formed at the boundary between the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53 and the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56, connecting the opening edge 56A of the small opening 56 in the base portion 52 to the outer peripheral edge 53A of the small lid portion 53, as described above (not shown). As shown in FIG. 10 and other figures corresponding to the lid body 1 of the second embodiment, the connection structure has a continuous portion 22, and preferably employs a structure similar to that of the weakened portion 24. In this case, the weakened portion 24 forming the connection structure is configured as a portion weaker than the small lid portion 53. Since the connection structure is the weakened portion 24, when the small lid portion 53 rotates relative to the base portion 52 about the hinge portion 54, the weakened portion 24 can be destroyed (the continuous portion 22 can be destroyed). Furthermore, the small lid portion 53 is separated from the base portion 52 generally along the connection structure and rises up relative to the base portion 52.

[0102] (Weakening part) The weakened portion 24 serving as the connecting structure may be formed by a combination (perforated structure) of the through portion 21 and the continuous portion 22, as explained in the lid 1 of the second embodiment. In the example of the connecting structure described above, the weakened portion 24 serving as the connecting structure may be a combination structure of the continuous portion 22 and the through portion 21. When the connecting structure has the continuous portion 22 and the through portion 21, the continuous portion 22 may be a half-cut portion 26, as explained in the lid 1 of the second embodiment using FIG. 11 .

[0103] [1-3-2 Actions and Effects] The lid 1 according to the third embodiment can provide the same effects as those of the first embodiment.

[0104] Next, a modification of the third embodiment will be described. [1-3-3 Variation] (Variation 1) The lid 1 of the third embodiment may be provided with a knob 61 on the small lid portion 53, as shown in Figures 13A and 13B. A lid 1 having such a configuration is referred to as Variation 1 of the third embodiment. Figure 13A is a plan view schematically showing one example of the lid 1 according to Variation 1 of the third embodiment. Figure 13B is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the state of the vertical cross section taken along line KK in Figure 13A.

[0105] The lid body 1 according to variant example 1 of the third embodiment may be the same as the lid body 1 according to the third embodiment described above, except for the configuration in which the knob portion 61 is provided on the small lid portion 53, and therefore explanations of other configurations (base portion 52, hinge portion 54, etc.) other than the configuration in which the knob portion 61 is provided on the small lid portion 53 will be omitted.

[0106] (Knob) 13A and 13B, in a state in which small opening 56 is closed by small lid portion 53, a knob 61 is provided on the upper surface, which is the exposed surface (exposed surface 72 of lid body 1) of small lid portion 53. The structure of knob 61 is not particularly limited as long as it allows small lid portion 53 to rotate around hinge portion 54 as an axis, but in the example of FIGS. 13A and 13B, a tab member 62 is provided as knob 61.

[0107] (Tab member) 13A and 13B, when the small opening 56 is closed by the small lid portion 53, one end 62A of the tab member 62 is joined to the small lid portion 53, and the other end 62B of the tab member 62 is a free end. The portion of the tab member 62 joined to the small lid portion 53 is called the tab joint portion 63. The portion of the tab member 62 on the free end side (the portion on the other end 62B side) of the tab member 62 excluding the tab joint portion 63 is not particularly limited in shape or structure as long as it is formed in a size and shape that allows the tab member 62 to be picked up by hand. The material of the tab member 62 may be the same as the material of the base sheet 3 described in the lid body 1 of the first embodiment.

[0108] In the lid body 1, the attachment position or attachment direction of the tab member 62 on the small lid portion 53 is not particularly limited, but in the example of Figures 13A and 13B, the tab member 62 is joined to the small lid portion 53 at a position near the tip of the small lid portion 53 (i.e., near the front edge portion 85).

[0109] The method for joining the tab member 62 to the small lid portion 53 (i.e., the method for forming the tab joint 63) can be various methods such as ultrasonic joining, heat sealing, and joining with an adhesive. Of the above-mentioned methods for forming the tab joint 63, ultrasonic joining is preferred from the viewpoints of ease of joining and joining strength. The position at which the tab joint 63 is formed on the small lid portion 53 is preferably shifted from the center of the small lid portion 53 from the viewpoint of making it easy to stand up the small lid portion 53 (rotate the small lid portion 53) by lifting the tab member 62.

[0110] (Tab member orientation (mounting direction)) In the example of Fig. 13A, the lid 1 is arranged so that the other end 62B side (free end side) of the tab member 62 is closer to the hinge portion 54 than the one end 62A of the tab member 62. However, this is just one example, and the orientation of the tab member 62 may be oriented in a direction other than the direction shown in the example of Fig. 13A. For example, the tab member 62 may be arranged so that the other end 62B side of the tab member 62 is farther from the hinge portion 54 than the one end 62A of the tab member 62.

[0111] In the lid body 1 according to the first modified example of the third embodiment, the provision of the knob 61 makes it possible to easily pull up the small lid portion 53 (to put the small lid portion 53 into the lifted state as shown in FIG. 13C). Note that FIG. 13C is a cross-sectional view illustrating the state in which the small opening 56 is open.

[0112] (Variation 2) As shown in Figs. 14A and 14B, the lid 1 according to Variation 1 of the third embodiment may have a holding structure forming portion that forms a holding structure that holds the small lid portion 53 in a state in which the small opening 56 is opened by rotating the small lid portion 53 relative to the base portion 52 around the hinge portion 54. A lid 1 having such a configuration is referred to as Variation 2 of the third embodiment. Fig. 14A is a plan view schematically showing one example of the lid 1 according to Variation 2 of the third embodiment. Fig. 14B is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the state of the vertical cross section taken along line FF in Fig. 14A.

[0113] (Holding structure forming part) The configuration of the holding structure forming portion is not particularly limited. For example, in the example of the lid body 1 shown in Figures 14A and 14B, the claw portion 64 and the receiving portion 65 form the holding structure forming portion.

[0114] (claw part) As shown in the example of Fig. 14A, the claw portion 64 may be any portion having a structure that allows it to be latched onto a receiving portion 65 (described later) by hooking, inserting, or the like. In the example of Fig. 14A, the claw portion 64 is provided on a tab member 62, which is an example of a knob portion 61. In this example, the claw portion 64 is formed by a notch formed in a predetermined position of the tab member 62 in a contour shape such as a mountain shape.

[0115] (receiving part) The receiving portion 65 is formed in a shape that allows the claw portion 64 to be engaged or inserted. In the example of FIG. 13A, the receiving portion 65 is a slit portion formed by cutting a predetermined position in the base portion 52. In this case, the receiving portion 65 may be a structural portion that corresponds to the through portion 21 described in the lid body 1 of the second embodiment. The receiving portion 65 is formed in a position that allows it to face the claw portion 64 when the tab member 62 is displaced to rotate the small lid portion 53.

[0116] (Formation of retention structure) When raising the small lid portion 53 of the lid body 1, the knob portion 61 is pulled up. At this time, the tab member 62 is pulled up and a predetermined portion of the free end side (the other end 62B side) of the tab member 62 is bent so that the claw portion 64 protrudes downward or upward. Then, the tab member 62 is displaced so as to rotate the small lid portion 53 until the claw portion 64 of the small lid portion 53 reaches a position facing the receiving portion 65 or a position near that position. Then, the claw portion 64 of the tab member 62 is hooked or inserted into the receiving portion 65. This forms a holding structure that holds the small lid portion 53 with the small opening 56 exposed.

[0117] The application example of the lid will be explained further.

[0118] [2 Application Examples] The lid 1 described above can be used in a lidded container 150 as shown in Figures 15A and 15B. Figure 15A is a perspective view showing an example in which the lid 1 according to the first embodiment is joined to an edge 103 that forms the outer periphery of an opening 102 of a container 101 having an opening 102 formed at the top end. Figure 15B is a cross-sectional view that schematically shows the state of the vertical cross section taken along line MM in Figure 15A. The lidded container 150 will be further described using Figures 15A and 15B.

[0119] (Container with lid) The lidded container 150 has a joint 151 where the container 101 and the lid 1 are joined, and the area of ​​the lid 1 where the joint 151 is formed is the joint area R. The method for joining the lid 1 and the container 101 is not particularly limited, and any suitable joining method such as crimping or heat sealing can be used. The following description will be given taking as an example a case where the lid 1 according to the first embodiment is used in the lidded container 150.

[0120] In the example shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the container 101 has a container body 110 having a cylindrical side wall 104 and a bottom 107 that increase in diameter upward (or taper downward), forming a space 105 therein, and an opening 102 that opens at the upper end of the container body 110 (the upper end of the side wall 104). Although not shown, the opening 102 of the container 101 is circular. However, the container 101 shown here is merely an example and is not intended to limit the configuration of the container 101. For example, the opening 102 of the container 101 may be rectangular. The container 101 may be any container as long as the opening 102 can be covered with the lid 1. Furthermore, the substance stored inside the container 101 (space 105) is not particularly limited, and examples include liquid substances, solid substances, and combinations thereof.

[0121] 15A and 15B, edge 103 of opening 102 has a flange portion. The flange portion may be a curled portion 108 formed by outwardly winding a member forming container body 110 as shown in Figures 15A, 15B, etc., or may be formed as a portion (brim portion) extending outward on a plane.

[0122] The lid 1 may also be combined with a container 101 having an opening 102 .

[0123] The above description of [4. Application Examples] is not limited to the use of the lid 1 according to the first embodiment. The lids according to the second and third embodiments can also be used in the lidded container 150 joined to the container 101, similar to the lid 1 according to the first embodiment, and can also be used as a combination of the lid 1 and the container 101 (not shown).

[0124] The lid and the like according to the present invention have been described in detail above, but the above are merely examples of the lid and the like according to the present invention and are not limited to these. Therefore, appropriate modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention.

[0125] Based on the above description of this specification, the present invention may employ the configurations shown in the following [E1] to [E11]. [E1] The adhesive is used to join a container having an opening and a rim that forms an outer periphery of the opening at the position of the rim, The water-repellent layer has an opposing surface corresponding to the surface facing the container and an exposed surface corresponding to the surface on the reverse side of the opposing surface, and is provided with a base sheet containing a paper-based material and a water-repellent layer containing a non-synthetic resin-based hydrophobic organic compound, When the thickness direction of the base sheet is the line of sight, a joining area corresponding portion is formed as a portion joined to the edge portion, and a lid area corresponding portion is formed as a portion extending inward from an inner edge portion of the joining area corresponding portion, the water-repellent layer is provided in the lid region corresponding portion at least closer to the opposing surface than the base sheet, a sheet exposed region in which the base sheet is exposed is formed in at least a part of a surface of the joining region corresponding portion that forms the opposing surface; Lid body.
