Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small quantity container for enclosing attached articles of liquids such as juices, liquid favorite foods or creamy liquids provided incidental to an article body such as a beverage can and a food can as a means for consumer services in a goods strategy. <P>SOLUTION: The container is formed of a hard plastic-made container body, so that the whole shape of a principal goods is maintained as much as possible to retain the principal goods in a proper space as much as possible while a required volume is secured. For that reason, the principal goods are mounted and fixed at a can lid winding section in a pawl-like container end by utilizing a space on the upper surface of a can lid. In addition, discharging the sealed goods without a faucet body facilitates the container to be compact and an operation to be simplified. Namely, the container body is bent by being pressed with a finger or the like and is fractured at the cut line of a discharge outlet where a groove is processed by a further pressing to form a system where the sealed goods are discharged. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

(4) The present invention relates to a small container for enclosing an accessory such as a fruit juice, a liquid such as a liquid taste product, or a cream-like liquid, which is used together with a product such as a canned beverage and is mainly used.

As a means of consumer services in the product strategy, appendices, bonuses, and trial service products provided along with products are provided in various forms, but are provided attached to beverage cans, food cans, etc. At present, there is almost no attempt to find such an attempt, and it has not yet reached the target stage with various possibilities, for example, enclosing and attaching a liquid or creamy liquid.

Therefore, from the viewpoint of being attached to the product body such as beverage cans and food cans, the shape is such that the product can be kept in the space unique to the product as much as possible, and its handling is easy, stable mounting when moving and transporting, and consumption. It is an object of the present invention to provide a small container for enclosing a liquid or creamy liquid accessory such as a fruit juice, a liquid taste product, etc., which makes it possible to satisfy the simplicity of opening and using the above.

。 Maintain the full shape of the main product as much as possible while securing the required capacity, and keep it as much as possible in the space of the main body. Also, the plug is omitted to make the container compact and simple. Therefore, in the case of a beverage can, a food can, etc., it is attached here by utilizing the space on the upper surface M of the can lid surrounded by the rim-shaped can lid winding portion N, and is slightly extended as necessary. To ensure the minimum capacity.

立 ち Based on the concept of single use, only the enclosed product is discharged without using a plug, and a simple operation allows smooth, reliable, and simple operation. That is, in the opening discharge of the enclosed product, the main body 1 is bent by the pressing or pulling pressure of the two fingers or the like about the communicating portion bottom 42 as a central axis, and the included angle formed by both the container bottom 8 with the angular shape variation of each portion is 90 °. At the stage of reaching the degree, the bellows-shaped wavy valley broken line 55 area reaches the extension limit, and when trying to further narrow the included angle further beyond that, the pressing (pulling) force is In order to avoid a margin in the wavy valley broken line 51 area on both sides, it is pulled and tensioned exclusively at the discharge port 44 which is an intermediate area of the upper surface portion 3, and combined with the internal pressure due to the sealed product, the result is a relatively weak part inside the discharge port 44. The strength design and encapsulation amount of the cut line 45 and its surroundings are achieved so that the grooved portion acts at the cut line 45 and the grooved portion is first cracked and broken. For it, or the like in such internal flow angle shape change and encapsulated products by bending primarily act to receive eliminated in each wave trough fold line 51 and 55 areas, and performs such various parts over shape design back.

In the case where there is a gap between the upper surface M of the can lid and a projection such as the tab P in a pull-tab type beverage can or the like, in addition to mounting by the mounting end 2, a hook that extends shorter than the bottom surface of the lower end of the container inner portion 7. The mounting and fixing is assisted by inserting or arranging the support pieces 9 in a shape of a circle.

In addition, in order to eliminate mounting obstruction due to vibration or contact with other objects, a step between the main body 1 and the can lid winding portion N is particularly eliminated at the mounting end portion 2 and a nail is taken into consideration while taking into account ease of removal. For example, a shape design such as slightly inward warping is performed to achieve the purpose.

When attaching to a bottle can or the like, use the main body 1 and provide a synthetic resin string ring on one of both ends or one of the container bottom portions 8 to reduce the maximum thickness of the bottle can. It is also possible to do this by retaining in the body-specific space and engaging with the neck portion without deviating.

で は In cases such as when it is not directly attached to the main product, it is provided separately as the main body 1 only.

When using a small liquid or creamy liquid container to enclose additives to the main product, for example, milk for coffee beverages, lemon juice for tea beverages, brandy for beer, etc. In addition, services that can be selected and added or arranged in accordance with consumers' preferences even with a small amount can be obtained along with product purchase, and can be provided as a powerful weapon in product sales strategies.

In addition, when used as an appendix or extra, items that are not related to the product itself can be selected as enclosed products. For example, liquid toothpaste, colon and the like that can be used up at once and used.

Furthermore, when used as a sample service product, it is possible to demonstrate the advertising effect through the taste experience by showing the features of similar new products and sister products in samples.

っ て も Either case is characterized in that it is a small-volume enclosing container that allows liquid or creamy liquid products to be attached to the merchandise body, and its effect and value are not small even though there are quantitative restrictions.

The structure and operation are simple and easy to fix, with a good fixability, and the ability to discharge the enclosed product with one hand is a big feature.The feeling of the discharging operation given to the consumer is the image of squeezing the comb-shaped lemon, which gives a good feeling Things.

(4) A sealing seal is attached to the discharge port 44 to ensure safety and health.

If the attachment to the product itself is performed at the time of product shipment, apply one or more weak adhesives to the product so that it can be easily detached when used while consuming while increasing the attachment. It is also possible to enhance the mounting. This is not particularly necessary when mounting at a store or the like.

To remove the container from the top surface M of the can lid when consuming the main body of the product or using this accessory, place the fingertip on the blank area below the communication section 4 and release the mounting state at the mounting end 2 and the like. Pull out or raise it.

In discharging the enclosed product, the both ends of the main body 1 are sandwiched between the thumb and the index finger, and the communication unit bottom 42, which is the bending axis, is pressed so as to be folded in two at the center (fulcrum), and both the container bottom 8 are pressed. By the time the included angle formed by the above reaches about 90 degrees, the discharge port 44 is addressed to the score R surface or the like serving as the opening of the beverage can or the filling port of another filling container (FIG. 2), and the preparation is performed. Thereafter, the included angle is further narrowed to cut and open the cut line 45, and the sealed product is discharged and injected.

It is a sketch which shows an example of the discharge condition of the enclosed goods of this invention product. It is a top view of one Embodiment of the product of this invention.
