In this case, the shape of the cutout line 17 is an appropriate shape in which the gap portion and the unbroken portion have an equal interval (perforation), or an unequal interval in which the unbroken portion is long and the unbroken portion is shortened. You may. And cut line 17
Is required at least on the left, right, front and back of the top gusset 10a, but may be provided on the bottom gusset 10b if necessary.

Next, the operation will be described.

First, the pack sheet 1 shown in FIG. 2 is turned upside down, and three beer cans are arranged in parallel on the upper part of the top panel 2 with the bottoms of six cans facing upward.

Then, the side panels 3 and 4 are folded inwardly at the folding lines 2a and 2b so as to cover the side portions of the beer cans, and the bottom panels 5 and 6 are further folded up so as to cover the bottom portions of the beer cans. Folded inward with 3a and 4a as boundaries, the male second locking portion 8b provided on the vertical side 1a of the bottom panel 6 is provided on the vertical side 1a of the bottom panel 5 from the head c. The first locking portion 8 is engaged with the second locking portion 7b through the hole of the female first locking portion 7a.
a of the first locking portion 8a on the male side and the side a of the first locking portion 7a on the female side forming a horizontally long rectangular hole. The sheet 1 is formed in an endless state, and becomes a can-pack containing a beer can with a band.

At this time, when each folded piece 9 is folded inward, the top gusset 10a is formed at the corner of the top panel 2 and the side panels 3 and 4 by the mountain fold line 12a and the valley fold line 12b, and the side panels 3 and 4 are formed. Gussets 10b are formed at the corners of the bottom panel 5 and the bottom panels 5, 6, respectively, thereby preventing the beer can 21 packaged in the pack sheet 1 from falling off.

At this time, a state in which a cut line 17 substantially parallel to the mountain fold line 12a, which is a portion connected to the side panel 3, is provided on the top gusset 10a, as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the top gusset 10a is cut by putting a finger on the perforated line 17, the retaining of a beer can or the like is released, so that it is possible to take out one of the beer cans 21 as containers from the packing sheet 1. Become. After taking out one, the remaining five pieces are continuously taken out, so that the inside of the pack sheet 1 can be emptied.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a carton case 20 in which the pack sheet 1 in a can as shown in FIG. 1 is installed. In FIG. 3, the pack sheets 1 are arranged in series and in parallel as shown in FIG. When storing four, the upper and lower flaps 20a and 20b on the short side are opened and pushed into the state shown in FIG. 4, and then the flaps 20a and 20b are closed. And storage ends.

The carton case 20 thus housed is
When the flaps 20a and 20b are opened as shown in FIG.
Since the top gusset 10a is always packaged so as to be located on the near side, as described above, the finger is applied to the cutout line 17 (see FIG. 1) provided on the top gusset 10a to cut the top gusset 10a. Can be continuously taken out. Therefore, if the top gusset 10a is broken and the retaining is released as compared with the case where the pack sheet 1 which is difficult to withdraw from the carton case 20 is pulled out, the beer can 21 is directly taken out, so that the take-out operation can be performed easily and efficiently. In the embodiment of the present invention, the case of beer can packaging has been described,
It is not limited to the packaging of beer cans, but is also carried out by using a pack sheet of a size suitable for the packaging of bottles such as small bottled drinks other than cans, such as juice cans, cola cans, etc. It is possible.

Further, the locking portion used for connecting the bottom panels is not limited to this embodiment, and may be appropriately changed.

[0034]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

1) When the pack sheet is pulled out from the carton case, the individual containers packaged by the pack sheet can be easily taken out by tearing the cut line of the top gusset, which is the retaining of the can, with a finger. Work can be done easily and efficiently, so, as before, first the pack sheet is pulled out of the carton case,
There is no need for double labor such as removing the container from the pack sheet.

2) Also, since the conventional packing sheet is provided with perforations for disassembling the pack over a wide area of the top panel, the perforations cause insufficient strength when lifting the packed packing sheet. In both cases, when removing the container from the packing sheet in the carton case, it was necessary to pull out the perforation at least so that the top panel portion was sufficiently exposed, but in the case of the present invention, it was necessary to cut the perforation before the packing sheet. Since the top gusset is located on the side, there is an advantage that the container in the pack sheet can be taken out when the flap of the carton case is opened. Moreover, the lifting strength at the time of handling can be secured.

3) Furthermore, the pack sheet according to the present invention can be manufactured without impairing the function and strength and without modifying the equipment as compared with the conventional sheet, so that there is no increase in cost.
