A metal cap in which a linear to be held to a cap body and separable from the cap body can be formed by a series of operations for forming the cap body and press molding the liner. The liner of the metal cap has a double-layer structure including a barrier layer on a top panel wall side and a sealing layer on the inner side of the cap body, and the barrier layer is temporarily bonded to the top panel wall with a weak adhesive at the time of molding the barrier layer and separated from the top panel wall by the natural cooling of the barrier layer after molding.

Manufacturing method for metal cap

A container lid is configured such that repeated movement of a grip piece and a connecting piece of the lid will not break the connecting piece so that the lid can be removed easily. An extension section extends upwardly from an upper end of the connecting section along an inner peripheral surface of a skirt wall of the lid. When the container lid is on the mouth-neck section of a container, an upper end part of the extension section is sandwiched between an inner peripheral surface of the lid skirt wall and an outer peripheral surface of a locking projection on the container mouth-neck section.

Easily openable container lid

An easily openable container lid has a shell and a liner embossed on the inner surface of a top panel wall and a pair of scores formed in the shell. The liner is adhered over the entire surface thereof to the inner surface of the top panel wall. At least second portions of the pair of scores are formed by forming grooves on the inner surface side of the shell, and are extended along the peripheral edge of the liner radially outwardly of the liner. Moreover, the liner has a thin-walled central section and a thick-walled peripheral edge section, and is configured to have a downwardly protruding outer sealing ridge formed in a radially outward region of the thick-walled peripheral edge section. The thickness of the thin-walled central section and the thickness of the thick-walled peripheral edge section are set within required ranges.
