Further, in order to fix a product to be stored (a bag having a non-cylindrical shape, a fragile glass bottle, etc.) (30), a disc-shaped fixing rib (15) is formed from the inner peripheral edge of the body (11) toward the center. An attachment container for vending machine sales, comprising an upper fixing rib (16) for fixing a head of a product to be stored downward from a top portion.
[0010]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an attachment container for vending machine sales showing an example of the present invention, in which (A) is a perspective view and (B) is a schematic explanatory view showing an open state of the attachment container. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the fixing rib and the upper fixing rib in a state where the attachment container according to the embodiment of the present invention is opened along a vertical dividing line. FIG. 3 is an explanatory cross-sectional view of the attachment container.
[0011]
First, as shown in FIG. 1, the vending machine vending machine container of the present invention is formed by integrally molding a resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene by injection molding, and has a top part (17) and a bottom part (18). This is a hermetically sealed cylindrical outer container, which is vertically divided along a vertical dividing line (20) provided at the center to form a double-sided (double-sided) structure, and FIG. As shown in the figure, a vending machine-equipped attachment container (10) is openable and closable by connecting the two opposite body portions on the opposite side with hinges (H, H).
[0012]
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, lock claws (12, 12) are protruded from the inner surface of one open body (11a) of the attachment container so as to seal the container. 11a, 11b) A concave portion (13, 13) is provided in the vicinity of the central portion, and a protruding portion (t, t) is provided around the periphery so as to be easily opened. By closing the two open body portions, the lock claws (12, 12) are locked inside one body portion (11b), and the end surface of the body portion and the end surface of the concave portion are fitted together and sealed. 10).
[0013]
The locking of the lock claws (12, 12) is not shown, but a protrusion or the like is provided at the tip of the lock claw, and a slight groove or the like is provided inside one of the body portions so that the lock claws can be fitted and locked. However, the lock claw may be slightly sealed to be inserted tightly into one of the trunks, so that the lock claw can be securely sealed.
[0014]
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the attachment container (10) has a fixing rib (15) for fixing the product (30) from the inner peripheral edge of the body (11) toward the center, and a lower portion from the top. Characterized in that an upper fixing rib (16) for fixing the head of a product (30) to be stored toward the front is provided. The fixing ribs (15) are provided on the inner peripheral edge of the body at appropriate intervals in a disk shape in a plurality of stages in the direction of the central portion (the direction of the articles to be stored) and in parallel.
[0015]
Further, the fixing rib (15) is formed by providing rib pieces (15a, 15b) having different lengths in a disk shape with a slight interval, and the length of the rib pieces is determined by the product ( 30). For example, although not limited, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, by providing long rib pieces (15a) and short rib pieces (15b) alternately, even if the product (30) is large or small, The rib piece can hold down and fix the product.
Further, although not limited, the rib pieces of the upper fixing rib (16) are also different in length so that the head of the product (30) can be easily suppressed even if the stored product is large or small. It is possible to do.
[0016]
FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is an explanatory view showing a state in which products of different sizes are stored in a vending machine vending machine attachment container.
The fixing rib (15) and the upper fixing rib (16) of the attachment container in the present invention are provided with rib pieces (15a, 15b) having different lengths for fixing the stored product (30), A thin portion (n, n) is provided at the base of the fixing rib so as to be able to flex to some extent flexibly when a force is applied to a rib piece suppressed by the size of the product (30). . That is, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, when the stored product (30) is large, the long rib piece (15a) of the fixing rib (15) is pressed so that the body of the product is held down from above. When the product (30) is small and the product (30) is small, the tip of the short rib piece (15b) of the fixing rib (15) presses the body of the product and is fixed. The effect of the long and short rib pieces and the thin portions (n, n) of the rib pieces is exhibited here. Further, although not limited, the upper fixing rib (16) is also provided with a thin portion in the same manner as described above, so that if the rib piece is long, it is curved to the right or left, and if the rib piece is short, it is directly pushed downward at the tip. Therefore, the head of the product can be easily suppressed. Therefore, the attachment container of the present invention becomes a cylindrical outer packaging container when the product is stored and sealed, and has the suitability for vending machine sales, and since the top portion, the bottom portion, and the body portion are present, it is possible to prevent the product from falling off due to impact. it can.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above, and its effects are described below.
That is, the vending machine attachment container of the present invention is a cylindrical container having a top portion and a bottom portion, which is vertically divided so that a double door can be opened and connected by a hinge, and can be opened and closed. An attachment container for vending machine sales with excellent protection of products stored in one part by providing an upper fixing rib for fixing the head of the product and a fixing rib for fixing the body of the product on the inner side of the body It is. In addition, by providing a thin portion near the base of the fixing rib and making the rib piece deformable, it is possible to cope with a change in the size of a product stored within the size of the attachment container. As a result, the attachment container of the present invention becomes a cylindrical outer container when the product is stored and sealed, and the suitability for vending machine sales is added, and since the top portion, the bottom portion, and the body portion are present, the inside of the container of the product due to impact is provided. Extra movement and falling off can also be prevented.
[0018]
Further, the attachment container of the present invention can sell products of various shapes by a vending machine without fear of falling off due to an impact, and there is no gap in this container, but a straw is provided if necessary. Various excellent effects such as attachments such as letters can be attached to the outside of the container.
