Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging container according to claim 1 and a method of producing the same. .
- a synthetic resin sheet is molded into a container shape and then the peripheral edge of the container shape is cut, whereby a container molded of thin synthetic resin sheet can be obtained.
- a packaging container has a shape provided with a wide opening.
- a packaging container of this shape comprises a bottom plate, a peripheral side wall upwardly extending from the periphery of the bottom plate, and an opening peripheral edge encompassing an opening and outwardly extended from the upper edge of the peripheral side wall.
- a lid to be put on a container is manufactured also by molding a thin synthetic resin sheet into a lid shape. Some lids are molded into complicated shapes in order to have a good design. However, generally, a lid has an opening peripheral edge encompassing a lid opening and extended outwardly, obliquely downwardly or downwardly in order to engage with the upper edge of the peripheral side wall and the opening peripheral edge of the container.
- a container or a lid molded of a thin synthetic resin sheet is separated from the sheet by cutting the above-mentioned opening peripheral edge thereof. Therefore, the opening peripheral edge is elongated in straight and/or smoothly curved fashion along the outline of the container or the lid.
- US 2001/003341 and JP 2001 063 758 are each directed to packaging containers in which a peripheral edge is corrugated. Neither document suggests a packaging container with a peripheral edge corrugated in both a longitudinal and vertical manner.
- an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a packaging container according to claim 1, and a method of manufacture according to claim 2.
- a packaging container according to the present invention is molded of a thin synthetic resin sheet, the finely corrugated opening peripheral edge has a lower sharpness than a thin peripheral edge elongated straight has. As a result, if user's hand, finger or the like is rubbed against the opening peripheral edge, the hand, finger or the like can be prevented from being hurt.
- the wrapping film can be prevented from being broken.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a container body of a packaging container.
- Figs. 2(A) - 2(C) are a partly enlarged perspective view, a plan view and a front view of section A of the container body 1 of the packaging container of Fig. 1
- the container body 1 is explained as a packaging container.
- the container body 1 has a bottom plate 20 and a peripheral side frame (peripheral side wall) 10 standing obliquely outwardly at the periphery of the bottom plate 20.
- the bottom plate 20 has, for example, a substantially rectangular shape with rounded four corners. Therefore, the container body 1 has, as a whole, a shape of a deep rectangular dish.
- the upper end of the peripheral side frame 10 defines an opening of the container body 1.
- An outwardly extended flange 11 is formed at the upper end of the peripheral side frame 10.
- the flange 11 constitutes a peripheral flange encompassing the upper end of the peripheral side frame 10, namely, encompassing a container opening.
- the flange 11 serves for reinforcing the container opening both in the inward and outward directions.
- the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 is finely corrugated. As shown, the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 is finely corrugated when seen in the horizontal direction. In this case, the difference d between the top and the bottom of the corrugated shape (waveform) is not more than 0.5 mm. Further, the pitch p (the distance between the tops or bottoms) of the corrugated shape (waveform) is about 1mm.
- the difference d between the top and the bottom of the waveform may be in the range of 0.2 - 1.0 mm and is preferably not more than 0.5.
- the pitch p may be in the range of 0.5 - 5.0 mm and is preferably about 1.0 mm.
- Figs. 3 (A) - (C) are a partly perspective view, a plan view and a front view showing another shape of a flange 11 extended outwardly from the upper end of the peripheral side frame 10 of the container body 1.
- the whole of the flange 11 encompassing the container opening is finely corrugated in the vertical direction.
- the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 is substantially straight in a plan view, but the outer peripheral edge 11a extending in the lateral (horizontal) direction is finely corrugated in the vertical direction in a side view (seen in the horizontal direction).
- the difference d between the top and the bottom of the corrugated shape (waveform) is in the range of 0.2 - 1.0 mm similarly to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the pitch p (the distance between the tops or bottoms) of the waveform is in the range of 0.5 - 5.0 mm.
- the direction of the corrugation of the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 may be a horizontal direction in which case the waveforms can be seen in plan view as in the above-mentioned embodiment, or may be a vertical direction in which case the waveforms can be seen in the lateral (horizontal) direction as in this embodiment.
- the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 is complexly corrugated both in the lateral (horizontal) and vertical directions, and forms the embodiment of the invention.
- the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 is finely corrugated, the outer peripheral edge 11a does not form a straight edge such as one cut from a flat thin resin sheet but forms a finely waved or corrugated edge.
- the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 according to the present invention can prevent user's hand and finger from being hurt and prevent a packaging film from being broken by contacting the outer peripheral edge.
- Figs. 4(A) and 4(B) are partly enlarged views illustrating the structure of a flange 11 and an outer peripheral edge 11a thereof according to an embodiment which is not according to the invention.
- minute projections and recesses are formed throughout the flange 11. That is, a number of minute projections 12 protruding on the upper surface side of the flange 11 and a number of minute recesses 13 depressed on the reverse side of the flange 11 are regularly formed. And as shown in Fig. 4(B) , the outer peripheral edge 11a obtained by cutting such a flange 11 forms a vertically corrugated edge defined by a cutting line crossing the number of minute projections 12 and a number of minute recesses 13 formed throughout the flange 11.
- the outer peripheral edge 11a of the flange 11 is also not straight but corrugated, so that the sharpness with respect to user's hand and finger and a packaging film can be reduced.
- package containers having a corrugated opening peripheral edge encompassing the opening of the container body 1.
- this can be applied not only to the container body 1 but also to an opening peripheral edge of a lid to be put on the container body 1. That is, when a packaging container, especially one for packaging food or the like is molded of a thin synthetic resin sheet, not only a container body thereof but also a lid to be fitted to the container body is manufactured. Similarly to the case of the container body, the opening peripheral edge of the lid is cut out of a synthetic resin sheet. Therefore, by forming the opening peripheral edge of the lid in a corrugated shape, the opening peripheral edge of the lid can have a soft touch instead of a sharp touch.
- Fig. 5 is an illustrative plan view of a container body 1 or a lid 18, in which a flange 11 is shown by cross-hatching. Any of the corrugated shapes as above-mentioned can be applied to the peripheral edge 11a of this flange 11. Further, when the flange 11 is provided with a lug or projection 15 for picking at the time of fitting the lid to the container body or opening the fitted lid, the outer peripheral edge of this lug 15 is preferably corrugated.
- corrugated shapes can be applied to the outer peripheral edge of the flange 11 of the container body and the outer peripheral edge of the lid 18 except the outer peripheral edge of the contact portion 16.
- the outer peripheral edge of the projection 15 is preferably corrugated.
- substantially the whole of the outer peripheral edge of the flange 11 of the container body 1 or the lid 18 has a corrugated shape.
- the whole but optional portions of the outer peripheral edge may have a corrugated shape.
- an outwardly extended flange is provided at the opening of the container body or the lid.
- the opening peripheral edge can be corrugated.
- Figs. 7(A) - (C) are illustrative vertically sectional views of three kinds of container bodies.
- the outer peripheral edge (T1 in Fig. 7 (A) ) of the flange 11 can be formed in a corrugated shape.
- the outer peripheral edge T2 in a corrugated shape can be formed in a corrugated shape.
- the outer peripheral edge T3 in the case of a container body having a shape as shown in Fig. 7(C) the outer peripheral edge T3 can be formed in a corrugated shape.
- Figs. 8(A) and 8(B) are illustrative vertically sectional views of examples of the shape of a lid.
- the outer peripheral edge T4 of the flange of the lid can be formed in a corrugated shape.
- the downward opening peripheral edge T5 encompassing the opening can be formed in a corrugated shape.
- a synthetic resin sheet from a whole roll is fed on a metal mold P1 for molding.
- the sheet is deformed in line with the shape of the metal mold P1, then transferred to a trimming die and cut by a cutting machine having e.g. a Thomson blade, whereby a molded container is separated from the sheet.
- a metal mold P1 for molding is shown in Fig. 9 .
- the metal mold P1 for molding at lease the part for molding a flange 11 is formed in a corrugated shape W finely corrugated in the vertical direction.
- the flange 11 of the container body 1 can be formed in a vertically corrugated shape.
- Fig. 10 shows an example of cutting operation of a container body molded of a sheet by a trimming die P2.
- a Thomson blade C is used.
- the edge of the Thomson blade C is formed in a corrugated shape corrugated in the direction vertical to the paper surface of the drawing.
- the peripheral edge of the flange can be corrugated in waveforms not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction.
- a flange has been corrugated in the vertical direction as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 , the outer peripheral edge of the flange cut by a cutting blade such as a Thomson blade having a straight blade edge is vertically waved in a side view (in the horizontal direction), though it is straight in a plan view. Therefore, by preliminarily corrugating a flange in the vertical direction, a cutting blade having a straight blade edge can be used, so that a packaging container not forming part of the invention can be easily manufactured.
- an opening peripheral edge of a packaging container is cut in an atmosphere temperature range of 15°C - 55 °C. This is because if the temperature of a molded product is not higher than 15°C, the molded product is apt to be cracked to become a bad product, and on the contrary, the temperature of a molded product is not lower than 55°C, the molded product is apt to be softened and deformed.
