## Abstract

A peelable adhesive structure is disclosed which comprises a plurality of parts at least one of which is made of metal, adhering together by means of a coating, characterized in that said coating has a peelable surface formed between a first layer of a denatured hydrocarbon resin or denatured hydrocarbon resin composition having an acid value of from 0.1 to 20 and a second layer containing an epoxy resin.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A peelable adhesive structure comprising a plurality of parts, at least one of which is made of metal, adhering together by means of a coating, chracterized in that said coating has a peelable surface formed between a first layer of an acid-denatured hydrocarbon resin composition having an acid value of from 0.1 to 20 and a second layer containing an epoxy resin, said denatured hydrocarbon resin being obtained from the reaction between (A) a hydrocarbon resin precursor selected from the group consisting of (i) petroleum resins which are obtained by polymerization of cyclopentadiene or C.sub.9 to C.sub.11 olefin hydrocarbons, (ii) cumarone-indene resins and (iii) terpene resins, and (B) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The adhesive structure according to claim 1, wherein the epoxy resin is a resin composition containing (C) an epoxy resin and (D) a resin selected from the group consisting of a cresol-type phenol-formaldehyde resin, urea-formaldehyde resin and melamine formaldehyde resin in the following ratio by weight:
C:D=5:95 to 95:5.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The structure according to claim 1, wherein the first and second layers have a peeling resistance of from 0.02 to 2 kg/cm.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The structure according to claim 1, wherein the metal part is a cap shell, and said other part is a packing made of resin or rubber.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The structure according to claim 4, wherein said first layer is placed on the side of the cap shell, and said second layer is placed on the side of the packing.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The structure according to claim 5, which further comprises an undercoat of vinyl resin paint provided between the cap shell and the first layer.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The structure according to claim 5, wherein the packing is made of an olefin resin, said olefin resin packing itself forming the second layer, or bonded through an adhesive coating, which is a separate layer from the second layer, containing a polyethylene oxide or acid-denatured olefin resin.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The structure according to claim 5, wherein the packing is made of a vinyl chloride resin, with an adhesive coating containing a vinyl resin provided between the vinyl chloride resin packing and the second layer.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7, 8)

The structure according to claim 7 or 8, which further comprises an ink layer provided between the packing and the adhesive coating, or between the adhesive coating and the second layer for indicating a prize.

### Claim 10 (depends on 4)

A structure according to claim 4, wherein said first layer made of said denatured hydrocarbon resin or denatured hydrocarbon resin composition is provided by printing.
