DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to synthetic resin container stoppers, and more particularly to synthetic resin stoppers for sealing the necks or openings of containers such as plates and jars for various types of beverages. Concerning container closures.

In the past, cork stoppers were commonly used for the openings of various beverage bottles. Because cork stoppers are elastic, they can be inserted into the bottle mouth while compressing objects with a diameter larger than the diameter of the bottle mouth.They have excellent sealing properties and prevent gases such as air and oxygen from entering. It also has excellent gas barrier properties.

However, since cork stoppers are made from natural resources, there are many variations in quality, problems with quantity and price, the liquid content leaks from the wires and insect holes, and the unique characteristics of cork stoppers. There is a problem in that the odor may transfer to the contents of the container and impair the taste of the contents.

In view of this situation, various attempts have been made to manufacture container stoppers using synthetic resins. For example, stoppers made of polyolefins such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and even artificial corks made from polyvinylidene chloride or polyethylene and bucdiene rubber have been developed, but these synthetic resin pillars have elasticity. There are problems such as the transfer of foreign tastes and odors from the substances added to the liquid into the liquid, and the poor sealing performance between the liquid and the external atmosphere.

Means for solving problems and their effects, therefore,
The present invention provides a container made of synthetic resin that has excellent sealing properties for the liquid inside, does not transfer foreign taste and odor to the liquid, has excellent processability, is relatively inexpensive, and has uniform quality. We succeeded in achieving this objective by using a synthetic resin container made of an elastic copolyester obtained using terephthalic acid as the acid component and ethylene glycol and 1°4-cyclohexanedimethanol as the glycol components. This led to the completion of the present invention.

As described above, the container stopper of the present invention has terephthalic acid as an acid component and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol as a glycol component of 50 to 80 mol%, preferably 60 to 70 mol%.
A mixed glycol component of 50 to 20 mol %, preferably 40 to 30 mol % of ethylene glycol and -j! It can be manufactured by using a copolyester obtained by polymerization as a raw material and foam-molding it into an elastic foam having closed cells.

Such copolyesters are commercially available, for example, from Eastman Chemical Company (USA) under the trade name KODARPETG. Foam molding methods include, for example, foaming by blowing in gas such as nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide;
Conventional methods such as mixing chemicals such as volatile liquid organic compounds and liquefied compounds and causing them to volatilize and foam during molding can be used, but if the contents of a container such as a bottle are food or drink, nitrogen gas or Preferably, a method using carbon dioxide gas is used. The foaming degree of the foamed elastic body is not particularly limited, but can be set to 40 to 70% depending on the desired density of the container stopper and other factors.

1,4 in the copolyester used in the present invention
-If the amount of cyclohexanedimethanol blended is too small or if it is not included at all, it is difficult to mold a foam with desired physical properties and elasticity, which is undesirable.
-If the amount of cyclohexanedimethanol is too large,
This is not preferable because the crystallization rate is too fast, resulting in insufficient foaming and the resulting foam becomes hard.

In this way, the foamed elastic container stopper manufactured from the above-mentioned specific copolyester has no off-taste or odor, has good sealing performance, and is effective in preventing gases in the external atmosphere from entering the container. It completely insulates the contents of the container from the outside atmosphere, and has excellent processability, so it can be manufactured into any shape such as a cylinder or truncated cone, and has excellent dimensional stability and elasticity. It has the feature of being able to improve physical properties and other physical properties. Furthermore, the container stopper according to the present invention is 21 times less expensive than natural cork, and has consistent quality.
(It has the advantage of being able to manufacture specially processed stoppers (for example, stoppers with threads or decorations on the -F part of the end).
