Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely prevent housed containers from falling sideways. SOLUTION: On right and left internal surface plates 4L and 4R, oval shape container-supporting holes 4La and 4Ra, which correspond with the outer diameter of the container are formed. Then, the right and left internal surface plates 4L and 4R are folded into an L-shape along intermediate folding lines f and g. Then, a pasting piece 5 is pasted on the internal surfaces of right and left side plates 3L and 3R. Thus, this container holder 1 is formed. When the container is housed in the right and left container-supporting holes 4La and 4Ra being confronted with each other, an approximate right or left half section of the outer peripheral surface of the container is held by the peripheral edge section of one container-supporting hole 4La or 4Ra. Also, the approximate other right or left half of the outer peripheral surface of the container is held by the peripheral edge section of the other container-supporting hole 4La or 4Ra at a different height location from the holding location by the peripheral edge section of the first container-supporting hole 4La or 4Ra.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container holder used for transporting a container such as a vial bottle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a container holder is used for transporting a container such as a vial bottle.

[0003] This container holder is provided with a partition plate at the center in the longitudinal direction of a bottom plate, and with left and right inner plates bent in the shape of a letter on the inner surfaces of left and right side plates. A plurality of elliptical container support holes corresponding to the diameter of the container are formed in the inner surface plate. Then, while dropping the container along the partition plate into each of the container support holes formed in the inner plate, the left and right halves of the outer peripheral surface of the container are held by the peripheral portion of the container support hole of the inner plate. Is set. After the set number of containers are held in such a container holder, the container holder is accommodated in the transport container and transported as appropriate (for example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-49710 filed by the applicant).

[0004]

By the way, the container accommodated in the above-mentioned container holder has a peripheral edge portion of a container support hole of one of the left and right inner face plates in which substantially right and left half portions of the outer peripheral surface are bent in a V shape. And is in line contact with the partition plate on the side facing the container support hole. For this reason, when an unintended external force acts on the container holder in the front-rear direction, there has been a problem that the container rotates in the front-rear direction with the peripheral portion of the container support hole of the inner face plate as a fulcrum and falls down.

[0005] Further, as the bottom wall of the container becomes thinner,
When dropped accidentally, the bottom plate cannot absorb the impact at the time of dropping, and there is also a disadvantage that the bottom wall of the container is easily damaged.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container holder capable of reliably preventing the container from falling down.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a left side plate, a left inner surface plate wider than the left side plate, and a sticking piece are successively provided on a left end edge of the bottom plate via a fold line. On the right edge of the face plate, a right side plate, a right inner plate and a sticking piece wider than the right side plate are successively provided via folds, and the left inner plate and the right inner plate have left and right sides, respectively. Intermediate folds are formed at different intervals from the folds with the face plate, and a plurality of elliptical container support holes corresponding to the outer diameter of the container that houses the intermediate folds are formed so as to face left and right, respectively. When the left inner plate and the right inner plate are bent in a V-shape along the middle fold, and when each of the attached pieces is attached to the left or right side plate or the bottom plate, the left inner plate and the right inner plate are bent. Each container support formed opposite to the face plate Periphery of the hole, and is characterized in retaining the substantially one lateral half portion of the outer peripheral surface of the container at different heights.

According to the present invention, when the container holder is assembled by folding along the fold and attaching a predetermined portion, the left inner face plate and the right The vertices of each intermediate fold of the inner panel are at different heights. Therefore, when the containers are stored in the opposed container support holes of the left and right inner plates, substantially the left and right halves of the outer peripheral surface of the container are held by the peripheral portion of the container support holes formed in the left inner plate, and the container The other right and left halves of the outer peripheral surface are held at different height positions by the peripheral edge of each container support hole formed in the right inner plate facing the container support hole of the left inner plate.

As a result, even if an external force in the front-rear direction acts on the container holder, the containers held at different heights can be reliably prevented from falling down.

In the present invention, a plurality of U-shaped cuts starting from the left edge and the right edge are formed at predetermined intervals in the vicinity of the left and right edges of the bottom plate, respectively. When each fold with the side plate is formed intermittently so as to be continuous to the starting point of the U-shaped cut,
When the container holder is assembled, a support piece formed by a U-shaped cut is continuously provided at the lower end edges of the left and right side plates. Therefore, even if you accidentally drop the container holder,
First, since the support piece comes into contact with the floor surface to partially absorb the impact, the impact at the time of the drop does not directly act on the bottom plate, and damage to the container can be prevented as much as possible.

In the present invention, affixing pieces are respectively connected to upper and lower edges of the bottom plate via folds,
When the folding pieces are connected to the upper and lower edges of the left and right side plates via the folds, respectively, when the sticking pieces are attached to the left and right folding pieces to assemble the container holder, the container holder becomes a box. It is integrated in a shape. For this reason, it is not necessary to hold the left and right side plates perpendicular to the bottom plate, and when the assembled container holder is housed in the transport container, the operation can be performed easily.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the container holder 1 of the present invention.

This container holder 1 holds a container B (see FIG. 3) such as a vial bottle. After punching a coat ball according to a development shown in FIG. The parts can be attached and assembled. After the set number of containers B are stored in the container holder 1, the two container holders 1 are housed in a separately assembled transport container 10 (see FIG. 2) and transported.

In the container holder 1 shown in FIG. 4, a left side plate 3L and a left side plate 3L are provided at the left end of the bottom plate 2 having the adhesive pieces 6 connected to the upper and lower edges via folds d, respectively. A left inner panel 4L and a sticking piece 5 wider than each other are sequentially provided via folds a, b, and c, and a right side panel 3R and a right side panel wider than the right side panel 3R on the right edge of the bottom panel 2. The inner face plate 4R and the adhesive piece 5 are sequentially provided via folds a, b, c, and further, the fold piece 7 is provided continuously at the upper and lower edges of the left and right side plates 3L, 3R via the fold e. It is configured. And these left side plates 3L,
The left inner face plate 4L and the sticking piece 5 and the right side face plate 3R, the right inner face plate 4R and the sticking piece 5 are formed symmetrically with respect to the bottom plate 2.

On the other hand, an intermediate fold f is formed in the left inner face plate 4L near the fold c with the sticking piece 5, and a plurality of elliptical container support holes 4La are formed with the intermediate fold f interposed therebetween. Have been. Similarly, an intermediate fold g is formed in the right inner face plate 4R near the fold b with the right side face plate 3R, and a plurality of elliptical container support holes 4Ra are formed with the intermediate fold g interposed therebetween. .

Each of the container supporting holes 4La and 4Ra corresponds to an ellipse formed when the container B to be accommodated is cut at a set angle with respect to the center line, and substantially corresponds to the diameter of the container B. The short axis is positioned at the middle folds f and g, and a half of the small ellipse with the long axis is formed on the left of the middle folds f and g while the short axis is common, and a half of the large ellipse with the long axis is formed on the right. It is formed in a substantially egg shape as a whole.

Here, the container support hole 4La of the left inner face plate 4L is provided.
And the container support hole 4Ra of the right inner plate 4R have the same shape and are formed to face left and right, but the interval between the intermediate fold f and the fold b in the left inner plate 4L is different from that of the right inner plate 4R.
Is different from the distance between the intermediate fold g and the fold b in FIG. 5, and the ellipse having a long axis is formed in the same direction.

Further, the bottom plate 2 is formed with a plurality of U-shaped cuts h at predetermined intervals in the vicinity of the left and right edges thereof, starting from the left edge and the right edge, respectively. The folds a between the bottom plate 2 and the left and right side plates 3L, 3R are formed intermittently so as to be continuous with the start point of the above-described U-shaped cut h.

Here, the plurality of U-shaped cutouts h formed near the left and right edges of the bottom plate 2 are formed symmetrically.

Next, the procedure for assembling the container holder 1 thus configured will be described.

First, after the court ball is punched according to the development view of FIG. 4, the left side plate 3L is valley-folded along the fold a with respect to the bottom plate 2 with respect to the bottom plate 2, and the left side plate 3L is formed. On the other hand, the left inner face plate 4L is valley-folded along the fold line b. Also, the left inner face plate 4L is valley-folded along the intermediate fold f, and the adhesive piece 5 is mountain-folded with respect to the left inner face plate 4L. Next, an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the sticking piece 5, and the outer edge of the sticking piece 5 is attached to the bottom plate 2 and the left side plate 3.
It is stuck on the inner surface of the left inner surface plate 3L so as to be along the fold a with L.

Similarly, the right side plate 3R is valley-folded along the fold line a with respect to the bottom plate 2 along the fold line a, and the right inner side plate 4R is valley-folded along the fold line b with respect to the right side plate 3R. In addition, the right inner plate 4R is valley-folded along the intermediate fold g, and the adhesive piece 5 is mountain-folded with respect to the right inner plate 4R.
Next, an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the sticking piece 5 and the sticking piece 5 is attached to the inner surface of the right inner plate 3R such that the outer edge thereof is along the fold a between the bottom plate 2 and the right side plate 3R. I do.

Next, each of the sticking pieces 6 is valley-folded along the fold d with respect to the bottom plate 2 and the left and right side plates 3
After folding each folding piece 7 along L and 3R along the fold line e, an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of each sticking piece 6, and the sticking piece 6 is attached to the outer surface of the left and right folding pieces 7, 7. To form a container holder 1 as shown in FIG.

In this state, when viewed from above, the substantially semicircular notches formed by the elliptical container support holes 4La and 4Ra formed in the left and right inner face plates 4L and 4R are opposed to each other. The left and right inner plates 4L, 4R so as to form a hypotenuse of a triangle having the middle folds f, g as vertices when viewed from the front with the attachment pieces 6 and the folding pieces 7, 7 removed.
It is bent in the shape of a letter and protrudes inward. Here, the height positions of the intermediate folds f and g are different (see FIG. 3).

When the right and left side plates 3L and 3R are trough-folded along the fold line a by the U-shaped cut h formed in the bottom plate 2, they are connected to the lower edges of the left and right side plates 3L and 3R. Thus, a support piece 31 (see FIG. 3) is vertically provided. For this reason, the bottom plate 2 is supported at a position separated from the floor surface.

When the container holder 1 is assembled in this manner, the containers B can be sequentially accommodated in the opposed container support holes 4La, 4Ra of the left and right inner plates 4L, 4R. In this case, as shown in FIG.
A substantially left half of the outer peripheral surface of the container B is held by a peripheral portion of a container support hole 4La formed in the left inner surface plate 4L,
A substantially right half of the outer peripheral surface of the container B is held by a peripheral portion of a container support hole 4Ra formed in the right inner plate 4R. In addition, as described above, since the vertices (intermediate folds f and g) of the left and right inner face plates 4L and 4R bent in a V-shape have different heights, substantially the right and left sides of the outer peripheral surface of the container B are different. One half is held at different height positions by the peripheral edges of the container support holes 4La and 4Ra described above.

When the set number of containers B is stored in the container holder 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the containers B are stored in a separately assembled transport container 10 as a set of two container holders 1, and are transported appropriately. .

Here, even if an external force in the front-rear direction acts on the container holder 1 during transportation or the like, the container B is
Since the left and right halves are held at different heights, they are prevented from falling down in the front-rear direction, and can be reliably held in the upright state.

Even when the container holder 1 is accidentally dropped when the container holder 1 is stored in the transport container 10, for example, the support piece 31 first contacts the floor surface to absorb a part of the impact. Therefore, the impact at the time of drop does not directly act on the bottom plate 2. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the container B from being damaged by the impact at the time of dropping as much as possible.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where each of the attaching pieces 5 is attached to the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates 3L and 3R has been described as an example. Is also good. In this case, the fold c between the attachment piece 5 and the left and right inner plates 4L and 4R is changed to the bottom plate 2 and the left and right side plates 3
What is necessary is just to stick along the fold a with L, 3R.

[0032]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the container holder is assembled and the containers are housed in the container supporting holes of the left and right inner plates facing each other, the left and right halves of the outer peripheral surface of the container are substantially left and right. In addition to being held by the peripheral portion of the container support hole formed in the right inner plate, the right and left other half portions of the outer peripheral surface of the container face the container support hole of the left inner plate at different height positions. Since it is held by the peripheral edge of each formed container support hole, even if an external force in the front-rear direction acts on the container holder, it is possible to reliably prevent the containers held at different heights from falling over. be able to.
