Abstract

Abstract A lid (1) is injection-molded of polyethylene, for a widemouthed barrel of a synthetic resin, and includes an outer rim (4) encompassing the barrel neck (3) and an inner rim (5) dipping into the barrel neck. The outer lid rim (4) and inner lid rim (5) form an annular space (7), an annular web (8) projecting axially from the base of this space. For producing the lid gasket (13), the annular space (7) is exposed to an open flame for activating the annular space surface. Subsequently the sealing material, preferably polyurethane, is injected from a foaming machine into the base of the annular space (7), and thereafter the lid (1) is vibrated in order to degasify the gasket (13). The sealing material, preferably consisting of foamed polyurethane, contains a parting compound having a long-term effect.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 166 words
In a process for producing a lid gasket of synthetic resin lids for blow-molded synthetic resin barrels, with an outer lid rim encompassing a barrel neck and with an inner lid rim dipping into the barrel neck and projecting beyond a barrel opening, as well as with an annular web molded to the base of an annular space between the outer lid rim and the inner lid rim, said web being surrounded by a molded-on sealing material comprised of foamed synthetic resin; the improvement comprising exposing the annular space (7) receiving the gasket (13) to an open flame on the inside of the lid (1), which is injection-molded from a synthetic resin, in order to activate a surface (15) of the annular space and enhance bonding between the gasket and the surface, subsequently injecting the synthetic resin sealing material (9) from a foaming machine into the annular space (7) to form the gasket, and thereafter vibrating the lid (1) in order to degasify the gasket (13).
