Next, a method for manufacturing a paper container according to the present invention will be described. In this description, mainly the paper container A will be specifically described, but other embodiments can be similarly manufactured.

FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a mold in a state in which the blank is put in a mold for vacuum or pressure forming, and a semi-finished product constituting a paper container is assembled in the mold. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a mold in a state in which a thermoplastic resin film is closely adhered to the inside of the semi-finished product.

In the present invention, first, FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, a main blank 10 composed of a flange 3, a superposed piece 3A and a cover surface 4, and a sub blank 2 composed of a bottom surface 5 and side surfaces 6, 6, 7, 7 not including the flange 3.
0 is manufactured.

Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the blank 10 and the blank 20 manufactured as described above are put in a mold 100 for vacuum or pressure forming, and assembled in a tray shape in the mold 100. In the drawing, 101 indicates a molding machine bed, 102 indicates a vacuum hole to be sucked, and 1
03 indicates a thermoplastic resin film, and 104 indicates a clamp that clips the film.

To assemble the paper container main body 1 in the molding die 100, first, the main blank 10 is inserted, and the flange 3 and the lid surface 4 are firmly fixed to the molding die 100. Next, the side faces 6, 6, 7, and 7 of the auxiliary blank 20 are bent, and the bottom face 5 is inserted to the bottom face of the mold 100. By inserting the sub-blank 20, the paper container body 1 made of two blanks is easily assembled in the mold 100. When the sub-blank 20 is pushed into the mold 100 during this assembly, the paper container body 1 can be easily assembled in the mold 100 by pushing the plug from above.

Thus, in the paper container main body 1 manufactured as described above, an integral flange without an overlapping portion or a seamless portion is formed. In addition, the side surfaces 6, 6, 7, and 7 of the blank 20 have a shape rising from the bottom surface 5, and at the corners constituting the container, the end portions of the side surfaces 6, 6, 7, and 7 are adjacent to each other in a state of contact. Is preferred.

Next, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 15, while suctioning air from a vacuum hole 102 of a molding machine bed 101, a heated thermoplastic resin film 103 is clipped by a clamp 104. The heated thermoplastic resin film 103 is tightly adhered to the inside of the paper container body 1 while the suction is continued while the clamp 104 is lowered to contact the mold 100. At the time of the vacuum forming or the vacuum pressure forming, the softened thermoplastic resin film 103 can be pushed into the paper container body 1 by using a plug assist device together. By adopting such a method, the paper container main body 1
The thickness unevenness of the inner surface protective film layer 2 formed on the inner surface can be reduced, and the quality of the paper container A can be improved. After the close bonding is completed, the suction is released and the thermoplastic resin film 103 is further cut,
The paper container A according to the present invention having the inner protective film layer 2 on the inner surface of the paper container body 1 can be manufactured. The paper containers B and C can be manufactured in the same manner as the paper container A.

In the above-mentioned present invention, as the paper material constituting the blank, for example, a basis weight of 150 to 600 g
/ M @ 2 of various paperboards, processed papers and the like can be used.

In the above-mentioned present invention, the thermoplastic resin film 103 made of a thermoplastic resin for forming the inner protective film layer 2 is made of a thermoplastic resin having water resistance, sealing property, and heat fusion property. Film, for example, various polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ionomer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer. Polymer, polyamide, polyvinylidene chloride, polystyrene, saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polycarbonate,
Various thermoplastic resin films such as polybutene, polyvinyl alcohol and others can be used alone or as a laminate. In particular, when a gas barrier property is desired to be imparted to a container, for example, a laminated sheet in which a gas barrier material such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is laminated on an intermediate layer, specifically, PE / EVO
H / PE, PP / EVOH / PE, A (amorphous)
A laminated sheet having a layer structure such as PET / EVOH / PE can be used.

The thickness of the thermoplastic resin film 103 is in the range of 30 to 250 μm, and is appropriately determined according to the moldability of the film itself, the capacity of the container to be molded, the ratio of deep drawing (depth / diameter), and the like. Determine, but preferably 5
The range is from 0 to 100 μm. However, since the strength of the container is mainly provided by the outer paper container main body 1, the thickness can be extremely reduced as compared with the case of a molded container made of plastic alone. From the viewpoint of environmental friendliness, it is preferable that the thickness be as small as possible in order to reduce the composition ratio of plastics. Since there is a problem, it is necessary to appropriately set it in consideration of the type of the film, the size of the container, and the like.

In the paper container of the present invention, when the thermoplastic resin film 103 is tightly adhered to the inner surface of the paper container body 1 which is a semi-finished product, the film itself is adhered in a heated state. Depending on the material of the film 103, the adhesive strength with the paper container body 1 may be insufficient. In such a case, for example, a thermo-adhesive resin such as a heat sealant or a hot melt material is applied to the thermoplastic resin film 103 in advance, or
An adhesive layer can be provided by extrusion coating of a thermo-adhesive resin. When the adhesive layer is applied, the adhesive layer may be provided on the paper container body 1 side. However, when such an adhesive layer is provided, it is necessary to select the material of the adhesive layer and adjust the thickness. It is.

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention relates to a frame-shaped flange made of paper as a main material, a lid surface connected to one side of the outer side of the flange through a polygonal line, and the flange. A main blank consisting of a superposed piece and a sub-blank consisting of a bottom surface and side surfaces are manufactured in a continuous manner via a broken line inside, and these are put into a mold for vacuum or pressure forming, assembled in the mold, and paper is formed. A paper container is manufactured by assembling a paper container body, which is a semi-finished product that makes up a container, and tightly bonding a heated thermoplastic resin film to the inner surface of the paper container body and fixing them. Is what you do. Therefore, the present invention has improved the problem that the sealability of the seal by the seal lid is insufficient as in the prior art, and has completely changed the manufacturing process. That is, a main blank and a sub-blank mainly made of paperboard are produced, and these are assembled in a mold for vacuum or air pressure molding of a film, and thereafter, the entire surface of the inner surface is vacuum-formed or air-pressure molded, or a combination thereof. It is only necessary to mold and adhere the thermoplastic resin film closely.

That is, it is easy to assemble the two blanks constituting the paper container body of the paper container in a molding die, the assembled shape is not easily deformed, and the flange is formed of an overlapping portion or a joint. Since it is not smooth and integral, it is possible to sufficiently seal with the lid surface, and a foldable lid surface is connected to the flange of the paper container main body, so that the lid surface can be easily attached to the flange. In the part where the main blank and the sub-blank are adjacent to each other, the superposed piece connected to the main blank is superimposed on the upper edge of the side face of the sub-blank, so that it is hard to deform and is made of strong paper. A container can be obtained. Furthermore, since the paper container of the present invention is a container mainly composed of paper, it can be discarded as it is as combustion waste after use as a container, and does not cause environmental destruction or the like. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The paper container according to the present invention is extremely useful as a container for packaging frozen foods, prepared foods and the like.
