SOLUTION: There is provided each compression portion 9 at both the side portions of a front trunk plate 3 and right trunk plate 4 via a ridge C. The compression portions 9 are divided by horizontal lines 8 extending respectively in the ridge direction from one starting point in each inner portion of the front trunk portion 3 and right trunk portion 4 and upper lower oblique lines 6, 7. Also, the compression portion 9 is provided at a portion crossing over the right trunk plate 4 and a rear side plate 5 via a ridge D. When the trunk portion of the container is held by hand after opening of a pour member 50, each compression portions 9 are pressed by hand so as to be pushed inward via horizontal ruled lines 8 and upper and lower oblique ruled lines 6, 7 in order to allow the trunk portion to be deformed. As such, the container can easily be held by hand, and the contents of the container can be discharged forcibly by pushing the compression portions 9 inward.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper container for storing liquids, powders, granules, and the like, and in particular, to prevent slipping of hands when pouring out or spraying contents, and The present invention relates to a paper container having an improved function of discharging contents by extrusion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Gable or square paper containers having a flat top are widely used in the present invention. Although this container is excellent in function as a container such as the protection of contents, it has a problem that it is difficult to hold by hand as compared with a container having a curved surface such as a bottle due to its square body. This problem is particularly noticeable when the container is large. In addition, in the case of beverages, etc., it is common to pour out the contents very quietly by tilting the container, but the contents are agricultural crops, pesticides for flowers, herbicides, nutrients, fertilizers. When the contents are stored, the contents are taken out from the container by spraying them directly onto fields, flower beds and the like. At this time, the user holds the container by hand and shakes the container forward to spray the contents so that the contents reach a distant place, but at this time, the container is small and small. Even if there is, the problem that the hand slips due to the momentum that it swings becomes remarkable.

[0003] Further, since the container itself of a normal paper container hardly deforms, only the operation of tilting and shaking the container can be performed in discharging the contents, and the container is deformed by pushing the container like a bottle. There is also a problem that the operation of forcibly discharging the contents cannot be performed. For this reason, especially when the viscosity of the contents is high, it takes a long time to discharge the contents, and the contents cannot be discharged far away.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is to prevent the slippage when holding the container by hand while keeping the basic form of the container the same as that of a normal paper container, and to press the container. A paper container that enables an operation of forcibly discharging an object is presented.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a square paper container having a gable-shaped or flat top portion, wherein two adjacent body plates are inserted through a ridge of the container. The paper container has a horizontal ruled line extending from one starting point in the ridge line direction and a folded portion defined by a vertically inclined ruled line.

According to the present invention, in a square paper container having a gabled or flat top, in addition to the ruled lines for forming the container, at least three body plates adjacent to each other via the ridge line are provided in the container. A horizontal ruled line and a vertically inclined ruled line extending in the direction of the ridge line from the starting point of one point in each of the body plates in the two body plates located on both sides, and the both body plates in the body plate located at the center. And a horizontal ruled line extending in a direction connecting the vertically inclined ruled lines.

The present invention is a paper container wherein the horizontal ruled line and the vertically inclined ruled line of the folded portion do not intersect with the ridge line.

[0008] The present invention is a paper container provided with a pouring member on the top of the container.

[0009]

When discharging the contents, the user of the container pushes the pushing portion of the body of the container into the container through the horizontal ruled lines and the vertically inclined ruled lines to make the container concave. Then, the user performs a discharging operation such as pouring out or shaking the container by putting a hand on the recessed portion. On the other hand, the contents can be forcibly pushed out by pushing in the pushing portion in a state where the container is inclined.

First, referring to FIG. 2, the adhesive piece 1, the left body plate 2, the front body plate 3, the right body plate 4, and the rear body plate 5 are sequentially connected via ridge lines A, B, C, and D to form a body portion 20. I do. A top forming plate 30 forming a gable-shaped top is connected to the upper portion of the body portion 20, and a bottom forming plate 40 is connected to the lower portion.

A push portion 9 is provided on both sides of the body portion 20 between the front body plate 3 and the right body plate 4 via the ridge line C. The push-in portion 9 is defined by a horizontal ruled line 8 extending in the direction of the ridge line B and vertical ruled lines 6 and 7, starting from one point inside each of the front body plate 3 and the right body plate 4.

In the present embodiment, two pushing portions 9 are provided in addition to the above-mentioned portions, that is, a portion which straddles the right body plate 4 and the rear plate 5 via the ridge line D in total. In the present embodiment, the push-in portions 9 are provided at two places, but may be provided at one or more places depending on the application. Further, the position to be provided can be freely set at a position where it can straddle any two adjacent body plates. From the blank, a square paper container having a gable top is manufactured by a well-known manufacturing method. When the container is completed, a pour member 5 is placed on the top of the container.
0 is attached.

FIG. 1 shows a use state of the container of this embodiment. First, the pouring member 50 is opened, and the container body 20 is held by hand.
At this time, each of the pushing portions 9 of the body 20 is strongly pushed by hand, and is pushed into the container via the horizontal ruled line 8 and the vertically inclined ruled lines 6 and 7, thereby deforming the container body. To make it easier to hold. In this state, a content discharging operation such as pouring out or shaking is performed.

As another operation, the contents can be forcibly discharged by pressing the pushing portion of the body during the discharge of the contents. Furthermore, by using a material having good resilience as the material of the container, it is possible to restore the pushed-in portion by once loosening the hand. With such a configuration, the push-in section is pushed several times and restoration is repeated, so that the function of forcibly discharging the contents can be further improved. In addition, there is also an effect that the contents can be stored in the same state as the original container form in a state where the contents remain.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
It will be described according to the following. First, referring to FIG. 2, the adhesive piece 1, the left body plate 2, the front body plate 3, the right body plate 4, and the rear body plate 5 are sequentially connected via ridge lines A, B, C, and D to form a body portion 20. I do.
A top forming plate 30 forming a gable-shaped top is connected to the upper portion of the body portion 20, and a bottom forming plate 40 is connected to the lower portion.

A push portion 13 is provided between the left body plate 2, the front body plate 3, and the right body plate 4 of the body portion 20. The pushing portion 13 starts from a point inside the left body plate 2 and extends from the horizontal ruled line 8 and the vertically inclined ruled lines 6 and 7 extending in the direction of the ridge line B, and one point inside the right body plate 4 into the ridge line C direction. Horizontal ruled lines 8 and the vertically inclined ruled lines 6 and 7 and the horizontal ruled lines 10 and 11 connecting the end portions of the horizontal ruled lines 8 and the vertically inclined ruled lines 6 and 7 of the left and right body plates in the front body plate 3. , 12.

In the present embodiment, the pushing portion 13 is provided at one location as described above, but may be provided at two or more locations depending on the application. In addition, the position to be provided can be set at a position where it straddles any three adjacent body plates. From the blank, a square paper container having a gable top is manufactured by a well-known manufacturing method. When the container is completed, the pouring member 50 is attached to the top of the container.

FIG. 3 shows a use state of the embodiment container. First, the pouring member 50 is opened, and the container body 20 is held by hand.
At this time, push each pushing part 13 of the body part 20 by hand firmly,
The horizontal ruled line 8, the vertically inclined ruled lines 6, 7 and the horizontal ruled line 10,
The container is pushed into the container via 11 and 12 to deform the container body so that the container can be easily held by hand. In this state, a content discharging operation such as pouring out or shaking is performed.

Further, as another operation, the contents can be forcibly discharged by pressing the pushing portion of the body during the discharge of the contents. Furthermore, by using a material having good resilience as the material of the container, it is possible to restore the pushed-in portion by once loosening the hand. With such a configuration, the push-in section is pushed several times and restoration is repeated, so that the function of forcibly discharging the contents can be further improved. In addition, there is also an effect that the contents can be stored in the same state as the original container form in a state where the contents remain.

Here, in the first and second embodiments, each ruled line and the ridge forming the indented portion are not crossed.
This is because, when each ruled line intersects with the ridge line, stress is concentrated on the intersection at the time of pushing in the pushing portion, and there is a possibility that cracks or the like may occur. In addition, the crossing may cause the trunk portion to be unexpectedly deformed and buckled starting from this portion.

In the first and second embodiments, the top of the container is of a gable type, but may be of a well-known flat type. In addition to the spout-shaped pouring member, a pouring hole provided at the top can be closed with a film-like lid member, or a structure without the pouring member itself can be employed.
