In the present specification, "outside" means the side far from the opening 28 of the container 20 in the horizontal direction. Also the "inner" means the side near the opening 28 of the container 20 in the horizontal direction.
 As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the container with lid 10 according to this embodiment, when removing the connecting portion 40 the lid 50 from the container 20 by breaking the container 20, the outer portion 35 together with the lid 50 the container 20 ( so as to be detached from the opened container 21) is constructed. Therefore in the state of the container with lid 10, the lid 50 is at least partially joined to the upper surface 35a of the outer part 35.
[0033]
 As shown in FIG. 7, the connecting portion 40 is provided intermittently six along the inner portion 30 over one lap. The connecting portion 40 may be continuously provided along the inner portion 30 over one lap. Also the outer part 35, is continuously extended through the connecting portion 40 to the inner portion 30 over one lap. The lower surface 50b of the lid 50 as shown in FIG. 15, the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30 are continuously joined over one lap. By configuring the flange portion 26 and the lid 50 of the thus container 20 can seal the opening 28 of the container 20 without clearance. That is, it is possible to express the initial sealing properties.
[0034]
 As shown in FIG. 1, the flange portion 26 has an outer portion 35 extending continuously over one revolution. While the outer portion 35 is maintained to be at least partially joined to the lid 50, as long as it is possible to remove the lid 50 from the container 20, the outer portion 35 the shape and, the lower surface 50b and the outer portion 35 of the lid 50 never specific state of bonding is particularly limited between the upper surface 35a. For example, in Figure 1, the outer portion 35 along the inner portion 30 over one round extend continuously, the lower surface 50b of the lid 50, the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35, an example being continuously joined over one lap It indicated, but not be limited to this. Although not shown, in as much as possible that the outer portion 35 when removing the lid 50 from the container 20 is maintained to be at least partially joined to the lid 50, the outer portion 35, along the inner portion 30 over one round it may extend intermittently Te. In this case, the lower surface 50b of the lid 50, the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30 are continuously joined over one round, and are at least partially joined to the upper surface 35a of the outer part 35. Even in this case, the junction between the upper surface 30a of the lower surface 50b and the inner portion 30 of the lid 50, the opening 28 of the container 20 can be sealed without any gaps. That is, it is possible to express the initial sealing properties. Further, the junction between the upper surface 35a of the lower surface 50b and the outer portion 35 of the lid 50, that the outer portion 35 when removing the lid 50 from the container 20 is maintained to be at least partially joined to the lid 50 it can.
[0035]
 In FIG. 15, the first joint portion is a portion where the upper surface 30a is joined on the lower surface 50b and the inner portion 30 of the lid 50 is indicated by reference numeral 30A, the upper surface 35a of the bottom surface 50b and the outer portion 35 of the lid 50 DOO second joint portion is indicated by reference numeral 35A is a junction portion. In the present embodiment, is formed such that the first joining portion 30A does not reach the inner and outer edges of the inner portion 30, an example in which the second joint portion 35A is formed so as not to reach the inner and outer edges of the outer part 35 Although shown, not limited to this, and the first joint portion 30A may be formed to reach the inner and / or outer edge of the inner part 30, the second joint portion 35A is the inner edge of the outer portion 35 or and / or it may be formed to reach the outer edge.
[0036]
 Junction between the lid 50 and the flange portion 26, while maintaining a state in which the outer portion 35 is at least partially joined to the lid 50, so that it is possible to remove the lid 50 from the container 20, need to be configured is there. On the other hand, the bonding force of the second junction portion 35A is, bonding strength between the other portion and the lid 50 of the container 20, for example, if the first is smaller than the bonding strength of the joint portion 30A, to remove the lid 50 from the container 20 when applying force to the knob portion 26x of the flange portion 26 of the container 20, the lid 50 can be considered that peeled off from the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35 before the lid 50 is detached from the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30 . In view of this, preferably, the bonding strength of the second junction portion 35A is to be greater than the bonding force of the first joint portion 30A, the container with lid 10 is constructed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the lid 50 when removing the lid 50 from the container 20 is peeled off from the upper surface 35a of the outer part 35.
[0037]
 Bonding force of the first joint portion 30A and the second joint portion 35A can be measured using a Tensilon tensile tester (e.g., Ltd. Orientec Ltd., RTC-1310A).
[0038]
 Hereinafter, an example of a procedure for measuring the bonding strength.
[0039]
 First, a sample and a lid 50 and the flange portion 26 are joined is cut into 15mm width. Next, by peeling a portion of the lid 50 from the flange portion 26, sandwiching a portion of the lid 50 while gripping jig Tensilon, sandwiching the flange portion 26 at the other gripping jig. Then, at a tensile speed of 300 mm / min, angle between a portion and the flange portion 26 of the lid 50 is pulled to become 180 °. Then, the maximum value of the load is measured when the other parts of the lid 50 is separated from each portion of the flange portion 26, the bonding force between the parts of the lid 50 and the flange portion 26.
[0040]
 Incidentally, when the portion where the lid 50 and the flange portion 26 is not bonded is included in the pre-sample, may be omitted work for the lid 50 and the flange portion 26 partially peeled prior to measuring a load .
[0041]
 When calculating the bonding strength using the measuring method described above, the bonding strength of the second connecting portion 35A is preferably greater than 20 N, more preferably greater than 30 N, the bonding force of the first joint portion 30A is preferably as a 20N or less, and more preferably equal to or less than 15N.
[0042]
 The bonding strength of the second connecting portion 35A, specific configurations and methods for greater than the bonding strength of the first joint portion 30A is not be particularly limited. For example, the area and width of the second bonding portion 35A, be greater than the area and width of the first joining portion 30A is considered. Further, when joining the lid 50 to the flange 26 by welding caused by heat, the temperature when welding the lid 50 on the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35, at the time of welding the lid 50 on the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30 it may be higher than the temperature.
[0043]
 As described above, connecting portion 40 is a portion that is fractured from the container 20 when removing the lid 50. However, the strength of the connecting portion 40 is too large, the force exerted on the flange 26 in order to break the connection portion 40 becomes excessively large, as a result, the portion other than the connection portion 40 of the container 20 or break it is conceivable that result in or deformed. Thus connecting portion 40 is configured to be broken at an appropriate force. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the inner portion 30, the outer portion 35 and the connecting portion 40, so that the thickness T3 of the connecting portion 40 is smaller than the thickness T2 of the thickness T1 and an outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30, is configured there.
[0044]
 In FIG. 3, in each of the inner portions 30 and outer portions 35, the upper surface 30a, 35a and lower surface 30b, 35b and a parallel to one another, this since the thickness T1, T2, T3 is constant regardless of the location Examples It is shown. However, it is not limited thereto, it is conceivable to thickness T1, T2, T3 varies depending on the position. For example, the upper surface 30a, 35a and lower surface 30b, cases can be considered 35b and are non-parallel. Further, as described later, the outer portion 35 is projection 36, by or has a reinforcing portion 37 and the wall portion 38, it is conceivable to thickness T1, T2, T3 varies depending on the position. In this case, the "thickness T3 of the connection portions 40 is smaller than the thickness T2 of the thickness T1 and an outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30 'has an average value of" thickness T3 is, the average value and the thickness T2 of the thickness T1 may also mean that smaller than the average value ". Or, "the maximum value of the thickness T3 is smaller than the maximum value of the maximum value and the thickness T2 of the thickness T1 'may mean that. The thickness T3 of the connecting portion 40 refers to the thickness along the horizontal direction of the connecting portion 40, the thickness thickness of the inner portion 30 and outer portion 35, which respectively along the vertical direction of the inner portion 30 and outer portion 35 Say.
[0045]
 Connecting portion 40 is likely to be broken as the thickness T3 is smaller. Therefore, considering the opening easiness of the container with lid 10, it is preferable that the thickness T3 of the connecting portion 40 is small. On the other hand, when the thickness T3 of the connecting portion 40 is too small, the container 20 in a state before the lid 50 is bonded, or, during the step of bonding the lid 50 to the container 20, the shock applied to the container 20 such as connecting portion 40 can be considered that become broken due to. Considering these points, preferably, the thickness T3 of the connecting portion 40 is set to 0.2mm or more and 0.8mm or less. Also preferably, the thickness T2 of the thickness T1 and an outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30, so that the thickness T3 of the connecting portion 40 is less than 50% of the thickness T2 of the thickness T1 and an outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30, is set . Thickness T2 of the thickness T1 and an outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30 is set to, for example, 0.5mm or more and 2.0mm or less.
[0046]
 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the thickness T2 of the outer portion 35 may be larger than the thickness T1 of the inner portion 30. For example, the thickness T2 of the outer portion 35 is 1.5 times the thickness T1 of the inner portion 30, and more preferably at least 2 times.
[0047]
 Further, from the viewpoint of suppressing the ease and unintended rupture unsealing, connecting portion 40, it is preferable to provide 0.1% to 5.0% or less of the area of ​​the outer periphery of the inner portion 30 of the flange portion 26, 0 it is more preferable to provide the .3% to 3.0% or less of the area. As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 40 is provided 0.5% of the area of ​​the outer periphery of the inner portion 30.
[0048]
 The width W1 of the inner portion in order to enhance the sealing of the container 20 and the lid 50, is set in a range of more than 4 mm. The width W2 of the outer portion 35, as the lid 50 when removing the lid 50 from the container 20 is not separated from the outer portion 35 and outer portion 35 of the lid 50 during the step of bonding the lid 50 to the container 20 as it can be easily positioned on the top surface 35a of are preferably set. For example it is preferable to set the width W2 of the outer portion 35 than 3 mm. Thus, the outer portion 35 of the flange portion 26 the lid 50 can increase the production suitability when joining, further, it is possible to make the outer portion 35 easy to see knob when removing the lid 50 from the container 20. Further, a width W3 of the first joint portion 30A is set to 1mm or 2mm or less. The width W4 of the second junction portion 35A 2 mm or more, preferably set to at least 3 mm. The width W4 of the second connecting portion 35A is preferably to 1 or more times the width W3 of the first joint portion 30A, and more preferably 1.5 times or more. Thus, it is possible to easily ensure initial sealability, a lid 50 when removing the lid 50 from the container 20 can be difficult to separate from the outer portion 35.
[0049]
 Next, with respect to the container with lid 10, the inner portion 30 in the vertical direction, the position of the outer portion 35 and the connecting portion 40 will be described. In this embodiment, the portion in contact with the lower surface 50b of at least the lid 50 of the upper surface 35a of the upper surface 30a and the outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30 is located on the same plane. In FIGS. 3 and 5, when obtained by welding the cover 50 to the flange portion 26, the entire upper surface 35a of the entire region and the outer portion 35 of the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30, an example which is located on the same horizontal plane is shown ing. Therefore, it is possible to uniformly bonded to the top surface 35a of the upper surface 30a and the outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30 of the lower surface 50b of the lid 50. That is, the cover 50 can be stably joined to the flange portion 26 of the container 20. Thus, that bonding strength between the flange portion 26 and the lid 50 of the container 20, can be suppressed from varying according to the position or an individual, and the container with lid 10 with excellent initial sealing performance it can.
[0050]
 Note that "and the upper surface 35a of the upper surface 30a and the outer part 35 of the inner portion 30 located on the same plane" of the end portion of the connecting portion 40 side of the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30, and the position in the vertical direction, the difference between the position in the vertical direction of the end portion of the connecting portion 40 side of the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35, and a 0.5mm or less, which means that more preferably 0.2mm or less.
[0051]
 Preferably, a portion in contact with the lower surface 50b of the lid 50 of the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30, the angle formed between the portion in contact with the lower surface 50b of the lid 50 of the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35, it is less than 30 degrees ± there.
[0052]
 Material and constituting the container 20, the manufacturing method of the container 20 are chosen so that the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35 may be joined to at least partially the lower surface of the lid 50 50b. For example, by injection molding using a resin, a bottom surface 22, side surfaces 24 and the flange portion 26 may be integrally formed. As the resin constituting the container 20, it is possible to use a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene or the like.
[0053]
 Next, the configuration of the flange portion 26 to enhance the resealing of the container with lid 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface 35b of the outer portion 35 of the flange portion 26 is the lower surface 30b of the inner portion 30 downwards, also the outer portion 35, protruding inward from the outer end portion 30e of the inner portion 30 projection 36 is provided. Therefore, it is possible to firmly fix the outer portion 35 to the inner portion 30. That is, it is possible to have a high resealing of opening the container 21. Such projections 36, in plan view, are provided a total of four in the four corners of the corner portions of the outer portion 35 (see FIG. 7).
[0054]
 Projection 36 is preferably protrudes inward portion 30 side outside of the end region 30e from 0.1mm or more 1.0mm or less of the inner portion 30, inwardly 0.5mm below the range of 0.2mm further preferably it protrudes portion 30 side. 4 shows the length from the outer end 30e of the inner portion of the projection 36 to the tip is shown at L1. If the length L1 from the outer end 30e to the tip of the inner part of the projection 36 is 0.1mm or less, resealing of the result it is difficult to sufficiently exhibit, if it less than 1.0mm, the outer it is difficult to remove the cover 50 in a state in which portions 35 are joined from the container 20.
[0055]
 Projection 36 is, for example, may be the lower surface 35b of the outer portion 35 can be provided above, provided in the region between the lower surface 35b of the lower surface 30b and the outer part 35 of the inner portion 30. By projection 36 is close to or contacts the lower surface 30b of the inner portion 30, it is possible to improve the resealing of the opening chamber 21. For example, in FIG. 3, the lower surface 30b and the projection 36 of the inner portion 30 is proximate the flange portion 26, a gap D1 is provided between the lower surface 30b and the projection 36 of the inner portion 30 of the flange portion 26 container 10 is shown with a lid, but is not limited thereto. A container 10 with a lid, the lower surface 36b and the projection 36 of the inner portion 30 of the flange portion 26 may abut. Regard open container 21 which is covered by the outer portion 35 the lid 50 in a state of being joined are same can be said. Further, the gap D1 is preferably set to 0.5mm or less. If the gap D1 is 0.5mm or less, it is possible to improve the resealing of the opening chamber 21.
[0056]
 Further, projection 36 is that it is preferable to provide in order to be able to contact 25 percent of the area of ​​the outer periphery of the inner portion 30 of the flange portion 26 is provided so as to be able to contact 50 percent of the area It is more preferable. Thus, it is possible to improve the resealing of the opening chamber 21. Further, projection 36 is that it is preferable to provide in order to be able to abut against the 5% area of ​​the outer periphery of the inner portion 30 of the flange portion 26 is provided so as to be able to abut 3% or less of the area It is more preferable. Thus, it is possible to the lid 50 in the state in which the outer portion 35 are joined easily removed from the container 20.
[0057]
 Will now be described a preferred embodiment of the container 20 with the lid 50 are not joined. As described above, FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a container with lid 10, FIGS. 4 and 6 are sectional views of the container 20 with the lid 50 are not joined.
[0058]
 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the container 20 with the lid 50 are not joined, the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35 of the flange portion 26 is positioned lower than the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30. Preferably, the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35 of the flange portion 26 is positioned lower than the bottom surface 30b of the inner portion 30.
[0059]
 When welding the lid 50 to the container 20, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the lower surface of the flange portion 26 of the container 20 held by the retainer 70, places the lid 50 on the flange 26 of the container 20. Here, the retainer 70, when welded with the flange portion 26 and the lid 50, so that the upper surface 35a of the upper surface 30a and the outer part 35 of the inner portion 30 of the flange portion 26 can be positioned on the same plane It is formed. Specifically, the retainer 70 has an inner portion 30 and abutting portion of the retainer 70 is formed so as to protrude from the outer portion 35 and abutting portion of the retainer 70. Then, the first heating plate 75 and the second heating plate 76 relative to the inner portion 30 and outer portion 35 of the flange portion 26 while holding the lower surface of the flange portion 26 of the container 20 by the retainer 70, the lid 50 upper to each drop from.
[0060]
 Thus, the upper surface 30a of the inner portion 30 through the lid 50 is pressed downward by the first heating plate 75. As a result, outer portion 35 of the flange portion 26 is relatively raised with respect to the inner portion 30, it is possible to position the upper surface 35a of the outer portion 35 to the inner portion 30 of the top surface 30a on the same plane. In this case, the lower surface 50b of the upper surface 35a and the cover 50 of the upper surface 30a and the outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30, is heated by welding between the retainer 70 and the first heating plate 75 and the second heating plate . In the above example, an example has been described using the first heating plate 75 and the second heating plate 76, respectively, may be heated using one of the hot plate.
[0061]
 During this time, the connecting portion 40 provided at six positions along the same direction between the inner portion 30 and outer portion 35 will remain bent between the inner portion 30 and outer portion 35. Or during the welding operation, it is conceivable to connecting portion 40 is broken from the inner part 30 or outer portion 35.
[0062]
 Thus the inner portion 30 and outer portion 35 and the lid 50, by heat welding between the retainer 70 and the first heating plate and the second heating plate 76, the lid comprising a container 20 and a lid 50 for with container 10 is obtained. If the connecting portion 40 as described above is broken from the inner part 30 or outer part 35, will not include the connecting portion 40 as a container 20 of the container with lid 10.
[0063]
 (Lid)
 will be described lid 50 joined to the container 20. The material constituting the lid 50, so that the lower surface 50b of the lid 50 can be joined to the upper surface 35a of the upper surface 30a and the outer portion 35 of the inner portion 30, is selected. For example the lid 50 includes a substrate layer, and the sealant layer constituting the lower surface 50b of the lid 50. The thickness of the lid 50 is made, for example, 20μm or more and 100μm or less.
[0064]
 The material for the substrate layer, a polyester resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, and polyamide resins such as nylon, can be used such as polypropylene. As the material constituting the sealant layer, it is possible to use a polypropylene or a mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene. Incidentally, when the substrate layer and the sealant layer comprises a polypropylene any, biaxially oriented polypropylene is used in the base layer, cast polypropylene is used in the sealant layer.
[0065]
 Incidentally, "mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene" described above is also referred easy peel sealant is a material having a relatively small bonding strength. Therefore, if the sealant layer of the lid 50 comprises a mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene, can be reliably joined to the upper surface 30a of the upper surface 35a and the inner portion 30 of the outer portion 35 of the flange 26 of the container 20 to the lower surface 50b of the lid 50 can. Also, if the sealant layer of the lid 50 comprises a mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene, the bonding force between the lid 50 and the flange portion 26 that is calculated by a method using the above-described tensile tester, a 20N or less it is preferable, more preferably equal to or less than 15N.
[0066]
 On the other hand, if the sealant layer of the lid 50 is constructed of polypropylene alone, the bonding strength is increased as compared with the case where a mixed resin of polypropylene and polyethylene is used.
[0067]
