JP4168178B2 - Opening cover for shopping basket and shopping basket with cover - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a shopping basket opening cover to be mounted on a shopping basket and a shopping basket with a cover on which the opening cover is mounted.

  In supermarkets and other various stores (hereinafter abbreviated as supermarkets and the like), shopping baskets (first shopping baskets) are prepared to carry products to be purchased. At the cash register, the products in the shopping basket are sequentially taken out, the unit price is input, and transferred to another shopping basket (second shopping basket). Customers who have paid at the cash register move to the workbench with the second shopping basket containing the purchased product, transfer the product to a plastic bag prepared by a supermarket, etc., and then bring the product back to their homes. It is customary.

  At this time, it often took time to transfer the purchased product to a plastic bag. At the supermarkets in the evening, work platforms were crowded, and many customers felt stressed waiting for their turn at the work table even though payments had been made. In addition, when the product was transferred to a plastic bag, a soft product could be crushed while returning home. This is partly due to the fact that the plastic bag has a low protection effect against external stress and that the work table is congested, so there is no room for transfer due to the fragility of each product. It was. The same was true when using a cloth shopping bag instead of a plastic bag.

  Therefore, there is a service that provides the customer with the shopping basket itself or prepares the shopping basket on the customer's side and uses it as the second shopping basket described above, and allows the take-out of the product together with the shopping basket after clearing at the cash register. It has become popular. This is a “takeaway shopping basket service” exemplified by so-called “My Basket Service”. Hereinafter, an example of the take-out shopping basket service will be described with reference to FIGS.

  A customer who makes a purchase brings a shopping basket (hereinafter referred to as a take-away shopping basket), which has been provided in advance by a supermarket or the like, or has been prepared by him / herself, to bring back a purchased product. This take-out shopping basket is often made of the same material (usually a synthetic resin such as polypropylene) and shape (opened in a rectangular shape upward) as the shopping basket installed in the store. Prior to starting shopping, the customer usually superimposes a shopping basket 202 (hereinafter referred to as an in-store shopping basket) 202 installed on the take-out shopping basket 201 as shown in FIG. Next, in this overlapped state, as shown in FIG. 22, both shopping baskets 201 and 202 are placed on the cart 9 and the products to be purchased are put into the in-store shopping basket 202. At the time of liquidation, the in-store shopping basket 202 containing the merchandise is taken home and removed from the shopping basket 201, and both shopping baskets are placed on the cash register. As shown in FIG. 23, the purchase amount is calculated while sequentially transferring the goods from the in-store shopping basket 202 placed on the cash register 8 to the take-out shopping basket 201. At the time of liquidation, all the goods are taken home and moved into the shopping basket 201. After the payment at the cash register, as shown in Fig. 24, a band 7 is erected on the take-out shopping basket 201 containing the purchased goods as a clearing mark, and the customer takes the purchased goods together with the take-out shopping basket 201 to the home. Take it home.

  When this service is received, there is no need to transfer or package purchased products on a crowded work table. In fact, many of the customers said that “there is no need to refill the plastic bag and it is convenient to speedy shopping” and “you can bring the purchased product as it is, so you don't have to collapse.” This service has been well received. Seems to be. In addition, supermarkets and the like have the advantage of cost reduction because they do not need plastic bags, and also have the effect that the corporate image can be further improved by appealing efforts to protect the global environment.

  However, take-out shopping baskets supplied from supermarkets and the like are open upward, and it is problematic in terms of hygiene to take back purchased products as they are. For example, when fresh food is purchased, it may be damaged by direct sunlight, or foreign matter (bird droppings, etc.) may fall on the purchased product and become contaminated. Also, it is not a good feeling to have someone look into the purchased product and search for dinner. Therefore, some supermarkets provide a plastic cover along with take-away shopping baskets. However, it is very cumbersome and unrealistic to bring a large cover to the shopping. In addition, there is a problem that the cover does not close when taking back a long product such as leeks or burdock, or a long large product such as radish, which is often useless. For this reason, resin covers are avoided and are not widely used.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to use the shopping bag described in Patent Document 1 or 2 by attaching it to a take-away shopping basket. Any of these shopping bags can close the product slot with the shopping bag attached to the shopping bag, so that it seems that the same effect as the case of covering is obtained.

  However, the shopping bag described in Patent Document 1 or 2 is for taking out the shopping bag containing the purchased product from the shopping basket and bringing the product back, and is not based on the assumption that the shopping bag is brought back together. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to take back the purchased product even with a single shopping bag, and the configuration tends to be complicated and relatively expensive. An opening cover for a shopping basket that can be provided at low cost and a shopping basket equipped with such an opening cover have been desired.

  In addition, since the shopping bag described in Patent Document 1 or 2 adopts a purse-type opening structure, there is a problem even when taking a long large product that cannot be stored in the shopping basket when used with a shopping basket. was there. That is, in order to take back a long large product, it is necessary to narrow down the purse with one end portion thereof being exposed from the opening, and to converge and fix the opening while sandwiching the long large product. Then, the one end part of the long large product is located at the substantially center part of the shopping bag according to the opening part that is converged and fixed, and is in an unstable state floating from the inner edge part of the shopping basket. In such an unstable state, it is dangerous to bring back purchased products including long and large products. In addition, when a long large product is taken home, it collapses with its own weight until it hits the inner edge of the shopping basket, the converging part is pulled in one direction, and other purchased products are pressed and damaged. There was also a case. An opening cover for a shopping basket and a shopping basket equipped with such an opening cover that can safely bring back the purchased product even if it contains a long large product have been desired.

Furthermore, when the shopping bag described in Patent Document 1 or 2 is used while being attached to a shopping basket, there is a problem that it takes time to close the opening. As described above, in the take-out shopping basket service, it is necessary to have the shopping basket banded at the cash register just before taking out the purchased product as a marker for the liquidation (see FIG. 24). At this time, when the shopping bag described in Patent Document 1 or 2 is used, it is necessary to close the opening portion in advance. However, when using these shopping bags, after cashing out the cash register, fold the tubular cloth folded back to the outside of the opening edge of the shopping basket, and then pull the purse string at the tip of the tubular cloth to open it. It is necessary to close the opening and further fix the opening in this state, and it takes time for these series of operations to cause congestion of the cash register. An opening cover for a shopping basket that can quickly cover the opening and a shopping basket equipped with such an opening cover have also been desired.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-87022 (FIGS. 1 to 5) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-784 (FIG. 1)

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and while covering the opening of the shopping basket, the purchased product can be blindfolded and taken home hygienically, it does not disturb the shopping and quickly For inexpensive shopping baskets, which can cover the opening when taking home long items, and can safely bring back purchased items even when long items are included An opening cover and a shopping basket with a cover to which the opening cover is attached are provided.

In order to solve the above problems, the opening cover of the present invention is an opening cover to be attached to a shopping basket opened in a rectangular shape upward, and is made of a heat insulating cloth and has a flexible cover body,
Cover body mounting means for fixing and maintaining the fixed end portion, which is one end portion of the cover body, near one end of the opening portion of the shopping basket, and the free end portion, which is the other end portion of the cover body, in order to cover the opening portion with the cover body. A direction in which the shopping basket contact surface of the cover body is bent inward with the opening covering locking means locked near the other end of the opening and the locking of the opening covering locking means being released. Cover both ends locking means for locking the free end of the cover body in the vicinity of the fixed end, and when the cover both ends locking means is locked, the free end of the cover body is fixed to the fixed end. From the state where the shopping basket abutment surface of the cover body is directed upwards by pulling it out to the side of the shopping basket on the side, the cover body having flexibility can be obtained by locking the free end of the cover body near the fixed end. An opening configured to hang down to the side of the shopping basket in a state of being folded from the center It was a cover.

  By covering the opening of the shopping basket with the cover body, it is possible to hide the purchased product and to prevent contamination. A cold insulation effect and a thermal insulation effect are also obtained. Moreover, since the cover body is made of a heat insulating cloth, the effect of keeping the purchased product cool and the effect of keeping warm is increased, and the product can be brought home hygienically in a state closer to the time of purchase. Furthermore, since the cover body is flexible, the opening of the shopping basket can be covered with the cover body even when long items are included, and the cover is stable while covering the opening with the cover body even when long items are included. Can be taken home in a state. In addition, the cover body can be folded back from the center. In addition, the free end of the cover body should be bent from the direction in which the shopping basket abutment surface of the cover body is bent inward so that the flexible cover body hangs down to the side of the shopping basket with the folded back from the center. By providing the cover both end locking means for locking in the vicinity of the fixed end, it is possible to provide an opening cover that does not interfere with shopping. To cover the opening from this state, it is only necessary to pull up one end of the cover body to unlock the cover end locking means, and lock the cover body at one end near the other end of the opening. , Can quickly cover the opening. In this specification, “covering” is not limited to the meaning of completely covering up, but is a broad concept including the meaning of covering up almost entirely. In addition, the “heat insulating cloth” may be a heat insulating material or a composite material of a heat insulating material and a cloth. Further, the “shopping basket abutting surface” is a surface on the side in contact with the shopping basket.

  At this time, an opening portion cover provided with first hanging cover locking means for locking the cover body hanging from the side of the shopping basket in a folded state from the central portion to the outer surface of the shopping basket facing the cover body; can do.

  By locking the cover body hanging from the side of the shopping basket to the outer surface of the shopping basket, it is possible to provide an opening cover that does not get in the way during shopping. In particular, even when the purchase product such as sugar beet is being bent forward, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the tip of the suspended cover body contacts the sugar beet and the like and the two become dirty with each other.

  Moreover, the said subject can be solved also by setting it as the shopping basket with a cover equipped with the said opening part cover. Specifically, a shopping basket with a cover provided with a shopping basket opened in a rectangular shape upward and an opening cover attached to the shopping basket, wherein the opening cover is made of a heat-insulating cloth. A cover main body, a cover main body mounting means for fixing and maintaining one end (fixed end) of the cover main body near one end of the opening of the shopping basket, and the cover for covering the opening with the cover main body An opening covering locking means for locking the other end (free end) of the main body near the other end of the opening, and the cover in a state where the locking of the opening covering locking means is released. A cover both end locking means for locking the free end of the cover main body in the vicinity of the fixed end from the direction in which the shopping basket abutment surface of the main body is bent inward; When locking, the free end portion of the cover body is fixed on the fixed end side. By locking the free end portion of the cover body in the vicinity of the fixed end portion from the state where the cover body is pulled out sideways, the flexible cover body is suspended from the center portion and hangs down to the side of the shopping basket. A shopping basket with a cover configured as described above may be used.

  At this time, it is possible to obtain a shopping basket with a cover in which an inner bag made of heat-insulating cloth having a box shape substantially coincident with the inner dimensions of the shopping basket and opening upward in a rectangular shape is accommodated inside the shopping basket.

  As a result, the purchased product can be taken home in a more sanitary state close to the time of purchase. Further, for a shopping basket comprising the opening cover and an inner bag made of a heat-insulating cloth that is housed in the shopping basket and substantially coincides with the inner dimensions of the shopping basket and is opened in a rectangular shape upward. The above problem can also be solved as a combination of the opening cover and the inner bag. The “heat insulating cloth” is the same as the “heat insulating cloth” of the cover body in that the cloth itself may be heat insulating or may be a composite material of heat insulating material and cloth. Both heat insulating cloths may be made of the same material or different materials.

  The thickness of the heat insulating cloth constituting the inner bag is preferably a shopping basket with a cover of 1 to 5 mm.

  This makes it possible to easily remove the in-store shopping basket even when shopping with the in-store shopping basket on the cover-equipped shopping basket, enabling quick settlement at the cash register. .

  Furthermore, the shopping basket with a cover is provided with the opening cover, and a plurality of through-holes are formed in the side wall of the shopping basket and are accommodated inside the shopping basket and substantially coincide with the inner dimensions of the shopping basket. A box-shaped inner bag made of a heat-insulating cloth that is rectangularly opened upward, and a tongue piece is attached to the outer surface of the inner bag located on one end side of the opening of the shopping basket. With the inner bag housed inside the bag, the free end of the tongue piece is passed through a through hole formed in the through hole at a position corresponding to the tongue piece, and the shopping bag is folded from the center. The above problem can also be solved by using a cover body with a cover provided with second hanging cover locking means for locking the cover body hanging sideways with the free end portion of the tongue piece penetrating the through hole.

  As a result, the bone part of the shopping basket with a large number of through-holes is thin, and it is difficult to directly lock the cover body hanging down to the side of the shopping basket in a state of being folded back from the center part to the bone part of the shopping basket Even when it is easy to release the lock, it is possible to provide an opening cover that does not get in the way during shopping by locking with the free end of the tongue piece that is passed through the through hole.

  At this time, the thickness of the heat insulating cloth constituting the inner bag can be a shopping basket with a cover of 1 to 5 mm. As a result, it is possible to quickly perform checkout at the cash register.

  By covering the opening of the shopping basket by the present invention, it is possible to cover the purchased product blindly and take it hygienically, but it is difficult to disturb the shopping and can quickly cover the opening of the shopping basket. An opening cover for an inexpensive shopping basket that can cover the opening even when a long product is taken home, and can safely bring back the purchased product even when a long large product is included, and the opening A shopping basket with a cover attached can be provided.

The male and female surface fasteners 131a and 131b that are engaged with each other have both ends in the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface of the cover body 11 (the shopping basket contact surface, in this embodiment, the surface on the heat insulating sheet 113 side) with the engagement surfaces facing downward. It is fixed to the respective parts (the free end 112 which is the other end in the longitudinal direction and the fixed end 111 which is one end in the longitudinal direction). In the present embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener 131a is configured to also serve as the male-side 141a among the integral hook-and-loop fasteners 141a and 141b as the opening portion covering and locking means 14 (described later). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hook-and-loop fastener 141a and the hook-and-loop fastener 131a may be provided separately. It is preferable to use both as in this embodiment because the number of parts can be reduced. The female side fastener 141b of the opening covering and locking means 14 is fixed to the vicinity 212 of the other end of the opening of the shopping basket 2. In addition to the cover main body 11 and the above-described cover main body mounting means 12 (see FIG. 11), the opening cover 1 includes both cover end locking means 13 (131a, 131b) and opening covering locking means 14 (141a, 141b). ).

  Next, how the opening cover 1 of FIG. 12 is attached to the shopping basket 2 will be described. FIG. 1 is a view for explaining a first embodiment of a shopping basket with a cover according to the present invention, and is a perspective view showing a state in which an opening cover 1 is mounted on a shopping basket 2. FIG. In this figure, cover body mounting means 12 (cover body mounting piece 121 and a pair of male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 122a and 122b) are provided at two positions on the left and right sides of the fixed end 111. The code | symbol is attached | subjected only to one place. With the shopping basket abutment surface of the cover body 11 (in this embodiment, the side surface of the heat insulating sheet 113) facing downward, the tip of the cover body mounting piece 121 (the side to which the male side fastener 122a is fixed) is the shopping basket 2 In this state, the male side fastener 122a is locked to the female side fastener 122b. In this way, the fixed end 111 of the cover body 11 is fixed to the vicinity of one end 211 of the opening 21 (the upper surface on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the flange-like edge of the shopping basket 2). A female side surface fastener 141b is fixed to the vicinity 212 of the other end of the opening 21 (the upper surface on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the flange-like edge of the shopping basket 2). The female side surface fastener 141b, together with the male side surface fastener 141a (131a), constitutes an opening covering and locking means.

  In FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2 to 6, 13, 14, and 17 described below, the hook-and-loop fastener 141 b is displayed as if it is not included as a component of the opening cover 1 for the convenience of description. However, as described above, the opening cover 1 includes the hook-and-loop fastener 141b constituting the opening covering and locking means (see FIG. 12).

FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged side view of FIG. 4 showing a state in which the cover body 11 folded back from the center part hangs down on the shopping basket side 23 from another direction.

  If the opening cover 1 is simply attached to the shopping basket 2, the cover main body 11 blocks part or all of the opening 21 and becomes an obstacle when a product is put in. In addition, when the in-store shopping basket is stacked on top (see FIG. 22), the cover body 11 can be bitten between the upper and lower shopping baskets, and the in-store shopping basket stacked on top can be smoothly pulled out at the checkout. The problem that it is not possible arises. As shown in FIG. 2, the free end 112 of the cover body 11 is pulled out to the shopping basket side 23 on the fixed end 111 side (the cover body 11 is free end on the shopping basket side 23 on the fixed end 111 side. It is only necessary to shop in the state of being pulled out from the section 112) or to stack another shopping basket on top of it, but in this case, the pulled-out cover body 11 is an obstacle to shopping.

  In order to solve this problem, the free end of the cover main body 11 as shown in FIG. 3 from the state of FIG. 2 in which the shopping basket contact surface (in this embodiment, the side surface of the heat insulating sheet 113) of the cover main body faces upward. The male side fastener 131a fixed to the portion 112 is detachably locked to the female side fastener 131b fixed to the vicinity of the fixed end 111 from the direction in which the shopping basket contact surface of the cover body 11 is bent inward. It is. As a result, the flexible cover body 11 hangs down on the shopping basket side 23 in a state of being folded back from the center (see FIG. 4). Thus, both ends of the cover exemplified by the pair of male and female surface fasteners 131a and 131b respectively fixed to the shopping basket contact surface side of the longitudinal ends of the cover body 11 (the free end 112 and the fixed end 111). By providing the part locking means 13, it is possible to provide an opening cover and a shopping basket with a cover, in which the cover body 11 is unlikely to obstruct shopping.

  FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged side view of FIG. 4 showing a state in which the cover body 11 folded back from the center part hangs down on the shopping basket side 23 from another direction. There is a case where the cover body 11 that hangs down to the side of the shopping basket 2 in a folded state swings back and forth (left and right in the figure) during the shopping. For example, at the so-called self-prepared food corner, when the customer separates the prepared food into the tray, the folded back end portion 119 of the hanging cover body 11 may come into contact with the prepared food. A second embodiment of the present invention for solving this problem is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged side view corresponding to FIG. 5 for explaining a second embodiment of the shopping basket with a cover according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, a pair of male and female surface fasteners 151a and 151b (first hanging cover engaging members) for locking the cover main body 11 hanging to the side of the shopping basket 2 to the outer surface of the shopping basket 2 facing it. Stopping means 15) is provided. In the present embodiment, the shopping bag 2 side surface of the cover body 11 hanging the male side fastener 151a is fixed to the outer surface of the shopping basket 2 facing the cover body 11 hanging the female side fastener 151b. did. Thereby, it is possible to provide an opening cover and a shopping basket with a cover having a structure in which the opening cover 1 does not become an obstacle when shopping. The opening cover 1 includes male and female surface fasteners 151a and 151b.

  In order to cover the opening 21 with the cover body 11 after placing the purchased product on the shopping basket with the opening cover in the state of FIG. 4 (refer to FIG. 3 hereinafter), the male side fastener 131a is removed from the female side fastener 131b. (Release the cover both ends locking means 13) and detachably lock the male side fastener 131a (also applicable to 141a) to the female side fastener 141b (locking the opening covering locking means 14) Just do). Actually, the male side fastener 131a is detached from the female side fastener 131b simply by grasping and pulling up the free end portion 112 of the cover body 11, and the free end portion 112 of the gripped cover body 11 is directly near the other end of the opening. It is only necessary to pull up to 212, overlap the two, and lock the male side fastener 141a (131a) to the female side fastener 141b, and the opening 21 can be covered quickly by a series of these operations. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which a long leek 31 or the like which is a long product is placed on the shopping basket 2 from the state of FIG. 4 and the opening of the shopping basket 2 is covered with the cover body 11. Thus, the cover main body 11 can be covered in a state where one end of the long onion 31 protrudes outward from the gap between the shopping basket 2 and the cover main body 11. In particular, in the case of a long large product, the cover main body 11 can be covered while keeping a stable state by leaning on the opening edge of the shopping basket 2, and even if the purchased product includes a long large product. Can be taken home safely and hygienically. This is an effect that cannot be obtained by the invention described in Patent Document 1 or 2 described above.

  13 and 14 show a third embodiment of the shopping basket with a cover according to the present invention. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing how the inner bag 4 is accommodated in the shopping basket with a cover shown in FIG. 4 in order to explain the present embodiment. The shopping basket with a cover according to the present embodiment is characterized in that an inner bag 4 is accommodated in the shopping basket 2 in addition to the configuration of the shopping basket with a cover shown in FIGS. The inner bag 4 uses a heat insulating cloth sewn in a state where the aluminum sheet 404 and the reinforcing cloth 405 are overlapped, and has a box shape that substantially matches the inner dimension of the shopping basket 2 and opens upward in a rectangular shape. It is configured as follows. Further, fixing means 403 for the shopping basket 2 are respectively attached to the outer sides of the four corners of the opening edge of the inner bag 4. The fixing means 403 is composed of a joint extending in the vertical direction and a pair of male and female hook-and-loop fasteners fixed to different surface sides of the tip of both joints.

  FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing this embodiment. As shown in this figure, the front ends of both joints are locked together so that the joint extending in the vertical direction of the fixing means 403 wraps around the flange-shaped edge of the shopping basket 2 (a pair of males and females). The hook-and-loop fastener is locked). By attaching the inner bag 4 to the shopping basket 2 in addition to the opening cover 1, the blinding effect and the cold insulation effect of the purchased product are further enhanced. The thickness of the heat insulating cloth 41 constituting the inner bag 4 is preferably 1 to 5 mm. A sufficient cooling effect can be ensured when the thickness is 1 mm or more. When the thickness is 5 mm or less, when the in-store shopping basket is stacked on top (see FIG. 22), the stacked in-store shopping basket can be easily removed at the time of checkout settlement, so that the cash register can be passed through more quickly. If the thickness of the heat-resistant cloth 41 exceeds 5 mm, it will be difficult to remove the shopping basket stacked on top in a short time, and the purchased product will jump out of the basket due to the reaction when the shopping basket is removed.

The inner bag 40 with the tongue piece 401 in this figure is described in correspondence with the inner bag 4 in FIG. 13, but corresponds to the state viewed from the direction of 90 ° counterclockwise movement from the inner bag 4 in FIG. Let me express. The difference from the inner bag 4 in FIG. 13 is that the tongue piece 401 is attached to the outer surface of the inner bag 40 (the outer surface located on one end side of the opening 21 (see FIG. 16)). A female side fastener 402b, which is a component of second hanging cover locking means (described later), is fixed to the free end that is the tip of the tongue piece 401.

  FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a state in which the inner bag 40 with the tongue piece 401 of FIG. In addition, this figure has shown the state which removed the opening part cover 1 for convenience of explanation. The opening cover 1 is fixed near the one end 211 of the opening 21.

FIG. 17 is a partially enlarged side view showing a state in which the cover body 11 hanging from the shopping basket side 23 is locked to the tongue piece 401 by the second hanging cover locking means 16 in the present embodiment. By engaging the male side surface fastener 402a fixed to the cover body 11 with the female side surface fastener 402b fixed to the free end portion of the tongue piece 401, the opening portion cover 1 is unlikely to become an obstacle when shopping. In particular, when the bone portion 24 (see FIG. 16) of the shopping basket 2 is thin, the female side fastener 151b fixed to the bone portion 24 on the shopping basket 2 side is peeled off by the locking method as shown in FIG. Probability is high. However, even in such a case, by adopting the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve a configuration in which the hook-and-loop fastener is difficult to peel off even after long-term use.

  Finally, a fifth embodiment of the shopping basket with a cover according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 18 is a perspective view for explaining the opening cover 101 used in the present embodiment. The cover body 110 of the opening cover 101 is longer than the cover body 11 shown in FIG. A hook-and-loop fastener 141A that is longer than the hook-and-loop fastener 131a (141a) in FIG. 12 is fixed to the lower surface side of the free end 112 of the opening cover main body 110. FIG. 19 shows a state where the long leek 31 is placed on the shopping basket 2 fitted with the opening cover 101 of FIG. 18 and the opening of the shopping basket 2 is covered with the cover body 110. The point that a purchased product can be taken home safely and hygienically even if a long product or a long product is included is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In addition to this, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, when taking a plurality of long products such as radish 32, long products such as long onions 31 and other large products, the size and number of purchased products In addition, the locking position of the hook-and-loop fastener 141A with respect to the hook-and-loop fastener 141b fixed near the other end of the shopping basket 2 can be adjusted along the longitudinal direction of the hook-and-loop fastener 141A, that is, along the longitudinal direction of the cover body 110. it can. Accordingly, even when a plurality of large items or long items are taken home, it can be taken home hygienically with the opening of the shopping basket 2 covered. As in the above-described embodiment, the male side surface fastener 141A and the female side surface fastener 131b (see FIG. 18) constitute cover end portion locking means.

  Although the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and claims attached to the application of the present application by those skilled in the art or the like. It should be noted that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Specific examples are given below.

  In the embodiment described above, a pair of male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 131a and 131b fixed to both ends of the cover body 11 as the cover both-ends locking means 13 is exemplified (see FIG. 12 and the like), but is not limited thereto. For example, a male-female snap fastener fixed to both ends of the cover body 11 may be used. In short, means known at the time of filing that can lock both ends of the cover body 11 can be employed. Similarly, the first drooping cover locking means 15 and the second drooping cover locking means 16 may be replaced with a male / female pair of surface fasteners as male / female snap fasteners. Needless to say, the male and female sides of the pair of male and female surface fasteners can be interchanged.

  You may provide the pocket which accommodates a cold insulating agent in the inside of the cover main body 11, or the shopping basket contact surface (the surface at the side of the heat insulation sheet 113 in each said embodiment) of the cover main body 11. FIG. Covering the opening of the shopping basket 2 with the cover main body 11 containing the cold insulation inside or the pocket causes the cool air to descend from the cover main body, so that the products in the shopping basket can be efficiently cooled and the fresh food in a fresh state Can take home. When used in combination with the inner bag 4 having a heat insulating effect, the cold insulation effect is further improved. Further, the cover main body 11 may be formed in a bag shape so that the dry ice can be stored in the cover main body 11, and an opening chuck for introducing dry ice into the bag-shaped cover main body may be provided. Recently, supermarkets that can freely use dry ice as a cooling agent have increased. However, in the case of fresh food, there is a problem that when it is directly touched with dry ice, it freezes and the freshness is lost. If the dry ice can be stored in the cover body, the chance of the dry ice coming into direct contact with the product is reduced, and the problem of freshness reduction due to freezing of fresh food can be solved.
