る。2. Description of the Related Art In a metal container for low-acid beverages, heated contents are filled and sealed, and retort sterilization is performed. A container that has undergone retort sterilization is called a reduced pressure retort method because it is in a reduced pressure state. In this reduced pressure retort method, an external pressure of about 2 kg / cm 2 is usually applied during retort sterilization, and a metal container is subject to this. What can withstand is required.

にて使用される。In the above-mentioned vacuum retort sterilization treatment,
There are limits to how thin the metal container can be made. In recent years, a positive pressure retort method that fills and seals liquid nitrogen at the same time when filling the contents and keeps the metal container in a positive pressure state for retort processing, or controls the external pressure according to the fluctuation of the container internal pressure during retort, etc. The metal container has been made thinner by adopting the differential pressure retort method or the like. Furthermore, the so-called aseptic filling method, in which the contents and the container are separately sterilized and the sterilized contents are filled in the sterilized container in an aseptic state, has been adopted mainly in paper containers in recent years. By adopting the filling method, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the metal container. In the aseptic filling process, the metal container internal pressure is used at positive pressure condition of not more than about 2 kg / cm 2 from the reduced pressure of about -0.6kg / cm 2.

されていないのが現状である。Conventionally, as a reinforcing means for a thin metal container, it has been known to form a bead in a circumferential direction on a side wall of the container. Although it is possible to improve the pressure resistance by the bead processing method, it is necessary to insert relatively deep beads in multiple stages for that purpose. However, in the case of a container subjected to multi-stage beading, there are problems that the printed screen on the side wall of the container is distorted or it is difficult to see, and it is the aesthetic sense that it is rarely used in actual containers.

であり、耐変形性の向上とは全く逆のものである。It is also known to form a polyhedral wall on the side wall of a container for various purposes. For example, JP-A-53-1
The proposals found in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 43485 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-710 are to make the side wall of the can body scribed or uneven to facilitate bending and crushing of the can body by hand. This is the opposite of the improvement in deformability.

It is recognized as being different from the deformation resistance intended for improvement.

る。When the thickness of the metal container is reduced, the first problem is the shape retention during and after opening the can. That is, when the container is grasped and the lid is opened, or after the opening, the rigidity of the container is insufficient, and the sense is unstable, or in extreme cases, the container deforms and the contents overflow. Occurs. For example, in the case where the material of the container is a surface-treated steel plate, when the plate thickness is 0.12 mm or less, insufficient shape retention becomes remarkable, and the above problem may occur.

る。Secondly, in a thin metal container that is aseptically filled in a depressurized state, deformation of the container due to depressurization becomes a problem. For example, when the material of the container is a surface-treated steel plate, when the plate thickness is 0.12 mm or less, the metal container internal pressure is -0.5.
When the pressure is reduced to about kg / cm 2 , the can body undergoes buckling deformation.

Although it is an important issue to reduce the material cost, reduce the weight of the container itself, and facilitate the disposal of the container, in the present invention, the shape-retaining property of the container wall metal is excellent while being extremely thin as described above. In order to achieve the pressure-resistant deformation property and the decorative effect, a specific circumferential polyhedron wall described below is formed on at least a part of the container body.

部、即ち頂点が存在する。The circumferential polyhedron wall is composed of constituent unit surfaces, boundary ridge lines where the constituent unit surfaces are in contact with each other, and intersecting portions where the boundary ridge lines intersect each other. The constituent unit surface is a unit surface repeatedly appearing in the axial direction (container height direction) and the circumferential direction of the circumferential polyhedron wall, and this surface is a curved surface described in detail below. The constituent unit surfaces are in contact with each other in the axial direction and the circumferential direction via a boundary ridge line, and an intersecting portion, that is, an apex exists at a position where the boundary lines intersect.

重要な特徴である。In the present invention, the boundary ridges and the intersections are projected toward the outside of the container relative to the constitutional unit surfaces, and the constitutional unit surfaces are smoothly recessed toward the inside of the container so as to complement the protrusions. It is an important feature that the arrangement in the container axial direction adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the structural unit surface is an arrangement having a phase difference.

果が得られるものである。In the above arrangement of the circumferential polyhedron walls, the convex portions composed of the boundary ridge lines and the intersecting portions and the smooth concave portions of the constituent unit surfaces are always alternated in any direction in the circumferential direction and the axial direction. That is, the arrangement is repeated such that the convex portion-the concave portion-the convex portion-the concave portion. Moreover, these convex portions and concave portions are formed such that the structural unit surfaces are firmly meshed with each other with no gaps, so that the resistance against the deformation of the vessel wall is extremely large even though the metal material is thin. ing. In the case of a thin metal container, if the bent portion such as a bead is small and has directionality, the reinforcing effect is hardly recognized, but in the arrangement of the present invention, the bent portion (concave portion and convex portion) has a structural unit surface. Since it is formed between them, it has a large structure, and since it appears repeatedly in any direction and there is no directionality, it is possible to obtain excellent shape retention, resistance to reduced pressure deformation and decorative effect.

である。The metal container of the present invention in which the above-mentioned polyhedron pattern is processed on the side wall of the can body has a unique three-dimensional effect and aesthetic appearance, and is characterized by an excellent decorative effect. It has been found that when a container is provided with a polyhedral pattern, the recesses rather than the protrusions have a significant effect on the decorative effect. That is, if the dent has a deeply refracted portion, this portion is likely to become a shadow, which makes it difficult to see the printed image on the surface, reduces the decorative effect, and impairs the aesthetic appearance.
In the polyhedron pattern of the present invention, since the constituent unit surfaces are smoothly recessed inside the container between the intersecting portions facing each other, the constituent unit surfaces have a smooth shape close to a very flat surface, and a regular combination of constituent unit surfaces is decorated. It enhances the effect.

性を有することが判明した。The present inventors evaluated the shape retention of the metal container by the local compressive strength measuring method and also measured the reduced pressure deformation resistance. As a result, it was found that the metal container of the present invention in which the above-mentioned polyhedron pattern was processed on the side wall of the can body had excellent shape retention and reduced pressure deformation resistance.

なり、装飾性の好ましい効果が薄れることになる。In the present invention, it is important that the recessed portion of the structural unit surface has a radius of curvature that satisfies "Equation 1" from the viewpoint of decorative effect, shape retention and resistance to reduced pressure deformation. That is,
The radius of curvature R of the depression of the above-mentioned structural unit surface is 5t or more (t is the plate thickness of the can wall), and it is important for the decorative effect, shape retention, and resistance to reduced pressure deformation that the radius r of the can body is less than or equal to r. . When the radius of curvature R of the depression is less than 5 times the plate thickness t of the can wall, a fold during processing is formed in the depression, which is not preferable for the decorative effect.
When the radius of curvature R of the depression exceeds the radius r of the can body, the area of a portion of one structural unit surface that is close to a very flat surface becomes small, and the favorable effect of decorativeness is diminished.

Since it is relatively easily deformed like being folded at, it is not preferable in terms of shape retention. On the other hand, when the radius of curvature R of the depression exceeds the radius r of the can body, the depth of the depression becomes shallow and the local deformation resistance becomes small, which is not preferable.

It is 6r or less. When the radius of curvature R of the depression exceeds the radius r of the can body, the depth of the depression becomes shallow, and it becomes difficult to maintain effective vacuum deformation resistance.

Without the damage of the coating film,
The excellent corrosion resistance is maintained, the residual stress after processing is small, and the retort sterilization and the deterioration of coating adhesion with the passage of time thereafter are effectively eliminated.

When 0 is less than the above range, the shape retention and the reduced pressure deformation resistance are poor. When d 1 / d 0 exceeds the above range, it becomes difficult to form a polyhedral pattern, and the decorative effect is deteriorated.
