[0008] The foamed synthetic resin container of the present invention is used as a fish box when, for example, a plurality of containers for contents containing relatively small fish and shells are stacked and stored in a plurality of containers for cold storage transportation. The contents container may be a tray or other small container.

A fish box 1 according to the present embodiment is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, a cubic container is divided obliquely in the vertical direction, and is constituted by one container main body 2 and the other lid 3 divided into two in the horizontal direction. The oblique splitting facilitates the removal of the contents container. Both sides of the container body 2 and the lid 3 have a substantially trapezoidal shape, and the cross-sectional shapes of the container body 2 and the lid 3 when cut in the horizontal direction are both U-shaped. The fish box 1 has a cubic shape, but the shape of the container in the present invention is not particularly limited, and is appropriately selected according to the transporting form, the storing form, the size and amount of the contents, and the like, such as a vertically long shape or a horizontally long shape. can do. FIG.
The dimensions of a, b, and c in can be set as appropriate depending on the contents and the size of the cold storage material. For example, when the outer dimension (a + b) of the fish box 1 is 1, the dimension a is preferably 1/2 or less. When the size of the cold storage material is large, the size b may be increased, and a storage space may be provided in the upper part of the lid 3. In addition, you may make it divide | segment a container not only obliquely but substantially perpendicularly in the up-down direction.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the fish box 1 contains a plurality of cases in which fish and shellfish are put in a container main body 2, for example, three containers 4 for contents are connected to each other. The lid 3 is joined to the main body 2 and used (transported). Among the joints between the container body 2 and the lid 3, an inner peripheral thin portion 5 is formed at the joint of the container main body 2, and an outer peripheral thin portion 6 is formed at the joint of the lid 3. The shape of the contents container 4 may be selected according to the shape of the fish and shellfish to be transported, and is not particularly limited in the present invention as long as the shape or size can be accommodated in the container body 2. Further, in the present embodiment, each content container 4 can be easily separated at its connecting portion 4a, and can be used as a display container or a sales container.

In this embodiment, by storing a plurality of contents containers, small fish such as firefly squid, sea chestnut, sweet shrimp and shrimp can be efficiently stored and transported. In addition, since the container body is divided into left and right, a plurality of contents containers containing seafood in advance can be collectively slid into and out of the container body from the lateral direction at the same time, so that a large amount of small items are accommodated. In this case, work efficiency can be improved. Also, if the lid is separated from the container body after transportation, the fish box can be transported directly to the store because it has the display property that it can be displayed at the store at the store while the container for the contents is stored as it is. it can.

In this embodiment, FIGS. 1 and 4
As shown in the figure, a space S1 for storing ice water and / or drip is provided at the bottom 7 of the container body 2. The space S1 is provided above the container body 2 on the space S1.
It can be provided by forming a convex portion 8 for fixing the content container to be stored in the bottom 7 of the container main body 2. The shape and number of the convex portions 8 can be appropriately selected. For example, besides forming three rib-shaped convex portions as in the present embodiment, two rib-shaped convex portions
It may be formed individually, or one circular or rectangular convex portion may be formed near the center of the bottom. In order to prevent the thawing water and drip accumulated in the bottom 7 from seeping out from the joint between the container body 2 and the lid 3 during transportation, an appropriate height is provided outside the space S1 as shown in FIG. Preferably, a bank portion 9 is formed. The bank portion 9 can be formed integrally with the container body as long as it has a height of about 2 to 5 mm, but one having a size larger than that is manufactured separately from the container body and fixed to the container body. Is preferred. When the space S1 is provided, in order to increase the stability of the stacked lowermost contents container, the convex portions 8 may be formed on both wall surfaces, or may have the same height as the convex portions 8. Projections for locking the contents container can be formed on both side walls of the container.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, it is preferable that a partition wall 10 is formed in the upper portion of the inside of the container body 2 to provide a cold storage material storage space S2 for storing a cold storage material for cooling. In the present embodiment, the space S2 is further divided into two by the partition wall 11. By accommodating the cold storage material in the cold storage material storage space S2, the contents being transported are cooled, so that the cold storage effect is sufficiently exhibited as in the related art. In addition,
When the cool storage material is unnecessary, the space S2 can be omitted, and the internal space of the container can be made larger.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since small fishes such as firefly squid can be accommodated in an aligned state, and can be accommodated collectively in the container body in a state where the containers for contents are stacked, work efficiency is extremely improved. Similarly, the loading / unloading operation is also easy, and if the container body and the lid are separated, the container body can be displayed at the store while the container for contents is stored in the container body, which is also effective as a display property. Therefore, the working efficiency can be improved and the commercial value can be increased.
