Thus, bridges (8) are formed on a resin cap (1). The circumferential dimension (a) of the connection portions (11) of the bridges (8) is set to be in the range from 0.65 to 1.10 mm, and the depth of the slits (10) is increased to reduce the dimension (b) of the connection portions (11) in the radial direction. As a result of the configuration, the strength of a specific portion of each of the bridges (8) is maintained, and the bridges (8) can be broken quickly.

Provided are: a preform that is not prone to formation problems and has few restrictions on the shape of the main body thereof; a synthetic-resin container with a hanging attachment; and a method for forming a container with a hanging attachment. Said preform (20) is provided with the following: a cylindrical main body (21) that has a bottom and will become the main body (2) of the container; and a hanging attachment (4) formed as a single unit with the main body (21) of the preform. Said main body (21) is blow-molded to yield an infusion bottle (1). The hanging attachment (4) has a join part (17) where the main body (16) of the hanging attachment is joined to the main body (21) of the preform. By making said join part (17) narrow, the impact on the stretching of the main body (21) of the preform during blow-molding is reduced.

Abstract

A synthetic resin pilfer-proof cap which enables whether the cap has been opened or not to be easily visually confirmed. The front end surface (22) of a flap (16) has formed thereon a sloped surface. In a view of an axial cross-section of a cap body (1) taken so as to include the center axis thereof, the inner angle (α) formed between the sloped surface and the inner surface (25) of the flap (16) in the radial direction is an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees. When the cap is in a closed state, the flap (16) is in a state in which the flap (16) is in contact at the sloped surface thereof with a protrusion section (52) of the container mouth section (50) and is elastically deformed and pivoted outward in the radial direction about the base end section (16a) as the support point. When a band (3) descends after a bridge (2) is cut, the flap (16) pivots inward in the radial direction due to the elastic restoration force of the flap (16) and interferes with the protrusion section (52) to prevent the band (3) from ascending to the height at which the band (3) is located before the bridge (2) is cut.

Abstract

Provided are a method for monitoring the molten state of a raw glass material having been introduced into a melting tank (2) of a glass melting furnace, and a method and a device which, using the method, control the amount of introduction of a glass material into the melting tank (2). Regions (21L, 21R) to be measured are set in regions which correspond to specific partial regions and which are in an image obtained by photographing, by means of a camera (6), the liquid surface which is within the melting tank (2) and which is to be monitored. The occupying ratio of the area occupied by image portions which are within the regions (21L, 21R) to be measured and which represent a non-molten glass material (70) is measured. Then, the state of distribution of the non-molten glass material (70) in the partial regions is obtained from the measured value, and the quality of the molten state of the raw glass material is determined. When it is determined that the quality of the molten state of the raw glass material is not acceptable, the amount of introduction of the raw glass material into the melting tank (2) by raw material introduction machines (4L, 4R) is controlled so that the distribution state is appropriate.
