DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cylindrical package which can be handled easily and functionally by integrally forming a container for storing articles and a lid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various packaging and packing materials (hereinafter, referred to as “items”) regardless of the size and shape of articles, storage, storage, and transportation.
(Referred to as a package), and each of them is selected and used according to its purpose and application. Among many, there are some packages that are widely used in general, and combine a rectangular parallelepiped container with a separate lid, and furthermore, one piece of corrugated cardboard, the container portion and the lid portion are integrally formed. The so-called cardboard box is a package that can be seen by anyone on a daily basis. And its usage is extremely enormous every day.

[0003] Also, there are various forms of the package, but new ones such as those which are easy to handle and are functional and have a good appearance are also provided. It is a package that can be raised and is easily seen by anyone as a simple package. In this form, arc-shaped fold lines are applied to the opposite edges at both ends of a tubular paper tube, and when used, an article is stored inside and two fold lines are provided at both ends. This is a unique package that functions as a lid that closes both ends of the paper tube by the action of the folding line and the resilience of the paper when the lid pieces are alternately bent inward. In addition to this, there is a type other than a paper tube type, in which the assembled cross section is folded like a pupil and becomes thinner in a plate shape.

[0004]

As described above, various packages are provided, and storage and transportation including storage are carried out using packages having different shapes and functions in addition to sizes according to applications and purposes. Although it functions as an efficient package, the demands of the times have demanded further reductions in cost and ease of handling. In light of these, conventional packaging has the following drawbacks and inconveniences, and has not yet met expectations.

[0005] First, the type in which a conventional lid is combined with a separate lid is a solid package in terms of appearance and appearance, but it is known that it is a package with a high cost. By the way, the object to be used is often limited to storage of small items, and the lid is separately assembled and cannot be folded, so even if it is an empty box, space is required for storage and transportation. There are drawbacks. In addition, the cardboard box is a convenient package that can be folded for storage and transport of many items because the container and lid are formed integrally, but in terms of material,
It is not a suitable material in terms of appearance and appearance for use as a package of one item. Further, in addition to the high cost due to the large amount of materials used, the amount discharged as garbage is increasing every day.

Further, although the package shown in FIG. 8 is a cylindrical package, the lid can be formed simply by bending the lid pieces of the fold lines provided at both ends, but the size is constant. Since it is a cylindrical body, it cannot be folded, and the size of articles to be stored is limited. In addition, the folded pieces at both ends that become the lid are folded and folded, and it is troublesome to seal them, and it is sealed, so it is difficult for dust to enter, but appropriate air permeability like a raw material is required It is a package that is not suitable for things. A pupil-shaped assembly section conforming to this type can be folded thinly, but when assembled it has an inconvenience that it cannot be stacked in large numbers because it is an almond-shaped and unstable shape.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and inconveniences of the conventional package, and has a circular pipe or a rectangular cross section when assembled. Or a polygonal or sheet-like body wound into a pipe, each of which forms a tube, and has two opposite ends with notches at two opposing locations for attaching and detaching locking strips. Thus, a package having a lid function which is functionally and easily integrated is formed.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A tubular package (1) according to the present invention.
In any of the embodiments, the locking strips (3) and (3) are integrally formed by a pair of cuts (4) formed on both sides of the cylindrical shape, and Just by closing the engaging member (7) provided on the locking strip (3),
It is a package that can reliably store and pack articles quickly and easily.

In addition, when opening the package, the user can remove it from either side only by removing the engaging member (7). In the case where only the engaging member (7) is used, the gap between the locking strips (3) is large, so that the air permeability is good, and the package is optimal for packaging of fresh things and fresh flowers. Further, as shown in Example 3, a lid plate (1
The combination of 0) enables a sealed package,
There is no need to worry about getting outside even if the items are small.
