ため、開封が困難になるという問題があった。2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a container of this kind holds a tab (4) and holds a lid (1) with a heat seal portion (6) to form a main body (2).
Peeled off and opened. In recent years, the sealing strength between the container body and the lid tends to increase as the demand for improving the safety of sealing the filling material becomes more sophisticated. For this reason, there was a problem that opening was difficult.

して開封初期抵抗を抑制するには限界があった。When opening this kind of container, one hand supports the entire container, the other hand grips a tab that forms an extension of the lid, and applies a tensile force in the direction of the container body to cover the container. From the container body. The maximum resistance at the time of opening is when the length of the peeling line (the boundary line between the peeling area and the non-peeling area of the seal portion) is the maximum, and in the case of the container shown in FIG. At the time when the peeling line reached the AA 'line (hereinafter, the resistance at this time is referred to as the initial opening resistance). In the case of a container having a circular opening as shown in FIG. 4, the initial opening resistance increases as the inner diameter D and the seal width h increase. From this, as a device for reducing the initial opening resistance, as shown in FIGS.5A and 5B, the opening edge portion of the container main body having the lid tab is locally made to have a small radius of curvature, and the peeling width is reduced. Was being done. However, with such means, there is a limit in suppressing the initial opening resistance against an increase in sealing strength.

A flexible lid body, a side peripheral portion of the lid body has a constant width portion hanging down from the outer periphery of the opening edge at a substantially constant length, and a tab hanging down longer than the constant width portion, The tab is divided into two tensile pieces by cuts having upper ends of both side edges connected to the lower edge of the constant width portion and extending upward from the lower end, and the cut upper ends have a distance X before the outer periphery of the opening edge. The distance X is set shorter than the hanging distance Y of the constant width portion.

(31)の垂下距離Yより短く設定されている。FIG. 1 shows a sealed container according to one embodiment of the present invention. The sealed container comprises a lid (1) and a container body (2) formed in a cup shape. The lid (1) has a portion covering the container body opening and a side peripheral portion (3) hanging down along the outer periphery of the opening edge, and the opening edge (6) is sealed by heat sealing. The side peripheral portion (3) includes a constant width portion (31) suspended from the outer periphery of the opening edge at a substantially constant length, and a tab (4) suspended longer than the constant width portion (31). The upper ends of both side edges of the tab (4) are connected to the lower edge of the constant width portion (31). The tab (4) is divided into two tension pieces (41) and (42) by cuts (5) extending upward from the lower end. The upper end of the cut (5) ends before the outer periphery of the opening edge leaving a distance X, and the distance X is set shorter than the hanging distance Y of the constant width portion (31).

る。When opening the sealed container, one pulling piece (41) or (42) is gripped and pulled upward as shown to open.
For example, when pulling the tension piece (42), the tab is folded at a position CC line substantially equal to the hanging distance Y of the constant width portion, and the other tension piece (41) is not affected by this. For this reason, the tensile force applied to the gripped tension piece (42) is concentrated near the tip of the cut (5), and tearing proceeds upward from the tip to directly reach the opening edge of the container body (2). Will be. This is because the distance X of the lid-side peripheral portion above the cut (5) is shorter than the hanging distance Y of the constant width portion (31). Assuming that the distance X from the upper end of the notch (5) to the outer peripheral portion of the opening edge is longer than the distance Y of the constant width portion in the lid (1) as shown in FIG. When the gripper 42 ') is gripped and pulled upward, both the tension pieces (41') and (42 ') are folded at a position C'-C' line substantially equal to the distance Y. When the pulling piece (42 ') is further pulled, the pulling piece (41') is also lifted at the same time, and in some cases, the tab is torn at the point C '. It will be accompanied by initial opening resistance. In order to lift only one tension piece, it is necessary to press the other tension piece by hand. In this case, the tab (4) is torn from the cut (5) by the pulling of the pulling piece (42 '), and depending on the tearing direction when the tear reaches the sealing portion of the lid, the peeling line is shown in FIG. BB 1 and B-B shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, respectively.
Will vary and so B 2, B-B 3, the higher the unwrapped initial resistance when made into a long peeling line that B-B 2 and B-B 3.

上好ましくない。On the other hand, in the sealed container according to the present invention, as described above, since the tearing of the tab (4) proceeds upward from the tip of the cut (5), the peeling line is a short line like BB shown in FIG. And the initial opening resistance is reduced. After the lid is peeled to a certain extent by pulling the pulling piece (42), the pulling piece (41) is pulled off and peeled off, and the full opening is performed. It becomes the initial resistance. In addition, the notch (5)
The upper end is terminated with a distance X in front of the outer periphery of the opening edge (6) for safety measures against sealing. Incidentally, when the upper end of the notch (5) reaches the outer periphery of the opening edge 6, a crack is easily formed from the notch (5) toward the sealing portion of the opening edge (6), which is preferable for safety measures against sealing. Absent.

くしても、開封を容易に行なうことができる。Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, a sealed container having the following effects can be provided. That is, since the flexible lid covering the opening of the cup-shaped container body is provided with a tab having a long hanging cut, a smaller force is required to individually pull the two tension pieces formed by the cut. Can be opened. In particular, since the distance from the cut upper end of the tab to the outer periphery of the opening edge is shorter than the drooping length of the constant width portion of the lid side peripheral portion, it is not necessary to hold down another tension piece when pulling one tension piece. One tension piece is lifted independently, tearing easily occurs due to stress concentration near the cutting tip, a certain short peeling line is obtained, and resistance at the time of opening is small. Therefore, even when the sealing strength between the lid and the container body is increased, the opening can be easily performed.
さらに、切り込みの上端は開口縁外周よりも手前で距
離Xを残して終結しているので、切り込みの形成に拘わ

に対する安全性にも優れている。Furthermore, since the upper end of the notch terminates at a distance X before the outer periphery of the opening edge, the sealing performance of the sealing portion is not adversely affected irrespective of the formation of the notch, and the safety for sealing is also improved. Are better.
