Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily dispose a container formed of dissimilar materials portion for each portion in a segregating manner by providing a mechanism for removing a label such as a notch in the label, or a perforation and a to-be-removed tape in a polymer container for a liquid such as a beverage or a seasoning or granular solid. SOLUTION: In a polymer container 1 which is represented by a PET bottle and stores a liquid such as a beverage or a seasoning and granular solid, a notch, or a perforation or removal tape are provided in a label 2. When the container is sorted and disposed, the label 2 can be easily sorted without using a cutter, etc. A thin-walled portion or a brittle portion is provided in the vicinity of a joint 6 between the container 1 and a spout 3. In addition, a projection is provided inside a remaining lid portion 5 left behind on the spout 3 side when a lid 4 is opened, and a groove larger than the projection is provided in the spout 3. When the lid 4 is opened, the projection 2 is hooked to the spout 3 side to separate the lid 4 from the remaining lid portion 5.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container having a function of facilitating separation and disposal in order to deal with environmental problems, resource problems and recycling problems.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Containers for holding liquids such as drinks, seasonings and small solids, and polymer containers such as PET bottles for holding drinks, seasonings and small solids are examples. The container body 1 as shown in FIG.
It comprises a label 2, a spout 3, a lid 4, and a lid rest 5.

[0003]

The above-mentioned container is
Many parts have different materials for each part, but it is not easy to divide each part except for some parts. For this reason, it takes much time and effort to separate and discard.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a container which can be separated without much trouble when containers having different materials for the above-mentioned parts are separately discarded. .

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention for achieving the above object is a container for holding a liquid such as a drink, a seasoning, a small solid, and the like, and in particular, the present invention for achieving the above object. Is a polymer container, such as a PET bottle, for holding beverages, seasonings, small solids, and the like, which is characterized by having a label removing mechanism such as a cut, perforation, or a removal tape.

According to this configuration, a container for storing a liquid such as a drink, a seasoning, a small solid, and the like, particularly a PET
When a polymer container, such as a bottle, containing a beverage, a seasoning, a small solid, or the like, is discarded, the label can be separated without using a cutter or the like.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a polymer container, such as a PET bottle, for storing beverages, seasonings, small solids, etc., in the vicinity of the joint between the spout and the container body. It is characterized by having a separating mechanism such as a thin part, a material part having a lower strength than the spout and the container body.

[0008] According to this configuration, when a polymer container, such as a PET bottle, for storing a beverage, a seasoning, a small solid, or the like, is discarded separately, the spout and the container body can be used without using a cutter. Can be separated.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a polymer container, such as a PET bottle, for storing beverages, seasonings, small solids, etc., which is opened to the spout side when the lid is opened. A projection is provided inside the remaining lid remaining portion, and a groove larger than the projection is provided on the spout side, and a lid remaining portion removing mechanism is provided.

[0010] According to this configuration, when a polymer container for storing beverages, seasonings, small solids, and the like, typified by a PET bottle, is separated and discarded, the remaining lid is separated without using a cutter or the like. can do.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples in which the present invention is embodied.

In this embodiment, a container for storing a liquid such as a drink as shown in FIG. 2 or a seasoning or a small solid, particularly a PET bottle as represented by a PET bottle is used. The label 2 has the same structure as that of a polymer container for containing a solid material or the like, and the label 2 has a cut 7 as shown in FIG. 1, a perforation 8 as shown in FIG. 3, and a release tape 9 as shown in FIG. It consists of.

Accordingly, when the containers are sorted and discarded, the labels 2 can be easily separated without using a cutter or the like.

In this embodiment, the PE shown in FIG.
It has the same configuration as a polymer container for storing beverages, seasonings, small solids, and the like, such as a T bottle, and near the seam 6 between the spout 3 and the container body 1 as shown in FIG. It has a thin portion 10, a spout 3 as shown in FIG. 6 and a material portion 11 having a lower strength than the container body 1.

Thus, when the containers are sorted and discarded, the labels 2 can be easily separated without using a cutter or the like.

In this embodiment, the PE shown in FIG.
It has the same configuration as a polymer container for storing beverages, seasonings, small solids, etc., as represented by a T bottle. As shown in FIG. 7, when the lid 4 is opened, the lid remains on the spout side. A projection is provided inside the portion 5, and as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a mechanism is provided in which a groove larger than the projection is provided in the spout 3. When the lid 4 is opened for the first time, the projection 12 catches on the spout 3 side, and serves to separate the lid 4 from the remaining portion 5 of the lid. When sorting and discarding, by pulling out the protrusion 12 along the groove 13, the lid remaining portion 5 can be removed from the spout 3 without being caught on the spout 3 side. Here, the shape and the number of the protrusions and grooves are not particularly limited, but are shown only as examples.

Thus, when the containers are sorted and discarded, the remaining lid portion 5 can be easily removed and sorted without using a cutter or the like.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, containers for liquids such as beverages and drinks, seasonings and small solids, especially beverages and seasonings represented by PET bottles are used. When separating and discarding a container having a different material for each part, such as a polymer container in which small solids or the like are placed, the container can be separated without any trouble.
