## Abstract

A resin overcap with an IC tag used as an overcap being on a metal cap and having an IC tag so that the transmission and reception of signals will not be disturbed by the metal cap, comprising a top panel and a cylindrical side wall hanging down from the circumferential edge of the top panel and in which the metal cap is fitted, wherein a step or a protrusion is formed on an upper portion on the inner surface of the cylindrical side wall to prevent the upward motion of the metal cap fitted in the cylindrical side wall, and an IC tag provided with an IC chip is mounted on the top panel to maintain a predetermined distance D to a top plate of the metal cap fitted into the cylindrical side wall.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A resin overcap adapted to be fitted onto a sealing-cap mounted on a nozzle of a container, comprising:
a top panel and a cylindrical side wall hanging down from a circumferential edge of the top panel and in which the sealing-cap fits;
wherein a step or protrusions are formed on an upper portion on an inner surface of said cylindrical side wall to prevent an upward motion of the sealing-cap fitted in said cylindrical side wall, and a knurling is formed under the step or protrusions;
an IC tag provided with an IC chip is mounted on said top panel in a manner of maintaining a predetermined distance D to a top plate of the sealing-cap fitted into said cylindrical side wall; and
an outer surface of said cylindrical side wall is of a corrugated form in which concave surfaces and convex surfaces are alternately formed extending in the axial direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The resin overcap according to claim 1, wherein a knurling is formed on the inner surface of said cylindrical side wall at a position under said step.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The resin overcap according to claim 1, wherein an engaging protrusion is formed on the inner surface of said cylindrical side wall so as to engage with an outer surface of a skirt of the metal cap.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The resin overcap according to claim 1, wherein said IC tag is so mounted on the top panel such that the distance D is not less than 2 mm with respect to the top plate of the metal cap.
