BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a can hanging device used for integrated sale and carrying of canned beverages and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Canned beverages and canned products such as canned beer, juice, coffee and the like are usually sold individually at retail stores or in a fixed quantity. On the other hand, canned beverages delivered from manufacturers or wholesalers to retail stores are packed in a fixed quantity, for example, 24 canned beers are stored in a corrugated box in a state of being stored in 6 auxiliary containers each. Delivered in packaged form. For this reason, retail stores unpack cardboard boxes and take out canned beer one by one for bulk sale, or set a few canned beers in a handbag carton or hanging device for integrated sale. It is displayed at the store.

An example of the above-mentioned hand-carrying carton is described in Utility Model Registration No. 2553133. This hand-carrying carton is one in which six canned beers can be stored by assembling a carton blank made of paperboard.

Further, as the above-mentioned suspending tool, the second patent has been proposed.
There is one described in Japanese Patent No. 859165. This hanging tool is a hanging tool in which a cap-shaped fitting portion corresponding to the upper shape of a can is formed at six places on a main body made of synthetic resin, and on the inner peripheral wall of the recess on the back side of the fitting portion, By forming a plurality of locking pieces that stand obliquely inward in the circumferential direction, six canned beers can be simultaneously hung, carried, and stacked.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] If the above-mentioned hand-carrying carton or suspending tool is used, a large number of canned beers can be produced.
The items can be displayed in the store in an orderly manner. However, the conventional hand-cartons and suspenders have the following problems.

The hand-carrying carton described in Utility Model Registration No. 2553133 is easy to manufacture because the carton itself is simply assembled by assembling a carton blank made of paperboard. However, the carton is expensive when canned beer is stored in the carton. It cannot be stacked vertically. Therefore,
Cartons that store canned beer can only be displayed side by side on shelves, tables, etc., and are convenient to carry, but in terms of effective use of the sales floor space, they are the same as when sold individually. Further, it is complicated to transfer the canned beer delivered in a cardboard box from the cardboard box to the carton one by one.

The hanging device described in Japanese Patent No. 2859165 is low in cost, and the work of setting canned beer in a cardboard box in the hanging device is easy, and further six canned beers are set. Since it can be stacked in the height direction in the state, it is excellent in effective use of the sales floor area. However, since this suspender is made of synthetic resin, it has the same problem as other synthetic resin wastes in terms of waste disposal after use.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a can hanging device which maintains the advantages of the conventional can hanging device and has no problem in waste disposal.
