Description

  Conventional foldable sheet cups have stresses that concentrate on multiple folds, that is, folds where ridges intersect or bend greatly, so if you repeatedly fold and use it, there is a disadvantage that it will break early at that part there were.

  As an improvement, the present invention relates to the technical field of a portable sheet cup and a portable sheet cup having supporting legs that can be folded and substantially flattened without the intersecting portion or other greatly bent portions.

Utility Kaihei 5-34113 Registered Utility Model No. 3030832 Registered utility model No. 3046013 Registered Utility Model No. 3024643 JP 2000-165 A JP 9-500044 A

  In patent document 1, it is a cylindrical form with the circular bottom which cannot be folded, and even if it has even one large volume, if it puts in a bag, a pocket, etc., the part will protrude, and it is not suitable as carrying. .

In Patent Document 2, when this method is applied to a sheet cup, an orange-shaped depression is used as a bottom portion.
Therefore, as the water is added, the bottom of the sheet is bent flexibly and repeatedly repelled when used repeatedly due to the weight of the water until the designed regular bottom shape is reached. When it is made of paper, the surface of the water-repellent treated sheet is peeled off, the water contained therein penetrates into the paper, and the bottom is more easily broken.
In order to prevent this, and to make a sheet cup with rigidity, if the sheet is made of a resin film material, the edge becomes sharp from the manufacturing method, and the disadvantage that the lip can be easily cut at the edge Have.
Therefore, it is currently manufactured and sold by companies as bags for refilling liquid and powder products made of film materials.

  In Patent Document 3, the bottom portion is not substantially flat, and there is no means for supporting the sheet cup, so there is a disadvantage that it cannot be placed on a table or the like.

  In patent document 4, since a bottom part is not a substantially flat surface, there exists a fault which cannot be set | placed on a table etc.

Patent Document 5 discloses a configuration in which the ridgeline 16, the ridgeline 18, the two ridgelines 12, and the ridgeline 19 that are bent on the sheet surface are folded inward and folded in the specification. Since the plurality of ridge lines intersect with each other and the ridge lines are repeatedly used while being bent at a large angle, they are easily broken at an early stage.
Here, a ridge line means the same thing as a fold.

  In addition, to return to a shape close to the initial substantially square shape, open the drinking mouth, that is, the opening with a hand or a finger, etc., put a finger etc. into the inner surface of the sheet cup sheet, It is necessary to arrange the shape of the opening, that is, the drinking mouth. Therefore, for example, a virus such as Thurs virus may be attached to the inner surface of the sheet of the sheet cup, which is unsanitary. In addition, folding and three-dimensionalization, that is, cupping, cannot be performed with a one-touch operation.

  In patent document 6, a bottom part is folded inward, there is no support leg, and a form differs from this invention.

  The problem to be solved is that the current commercially available sheet cup has a cylindrical shape and a circular bottom portion, and even one piece has a large volume, so that it is not suitable for carrying. In addition, if the sheet cup is a folding type in which a plurality of folds more than two are overlapped, the sheet cup is repeatedly subjected to a large bend several times, and in a portion where a plurality of folds that repeatedly intersect and fold repeatedly overlap, Wrinkles occur, the water-repellent treated portion of the surface of the sheet peels off, and it becomes easy to contain water, so that water leaks, breaks early and cannot be used.

  As disclosed in the above-mentioned prior patents, there is no disclosure of a technique using a support leg. Therefore, a portable sheet cup with support legs that can be folded by one-touch operation, easily flattened or cupped, and that does not break even if used repeatedly over a long period of time is obtained.

  A support leg that opens and closes is provided on a portable sheet cup having an opening at the top and an integrated periphery excluding the top.

  The opening / closing direction of the supporting leg to be opened / closed is the front / rear direction of the portable seat cup.

  The support leg 2 is provided on the sheet surface of either the front sheet 1a or the back sheet 1b.

  The support legs 2 are provided on the sheet surfaces of both the front sheet 1a and the back sheet 1b.

  The support leg extends in a substantially vertical direction, and an upper part and a lower part of the support leg are integrated with a sheet surface of a portable sheet cup, and the support leg has an outermost fold line and an innermost fold line. The outermost fold of the support leg protrudes outward, and the innermost fold of the support leg is substantially straightened so that the sheet surface of the portable sheet cup facing the support leg is substantially triangular. The portable leg cup is supported by the opened supporting leg and the supporting leg is opened. On the other hand, when each fold is folded, the portable leg cup is substantially flattened.

  The installation position of the support leg is approximately the center in the width direction of the sheet surface of the portable sheet cup.

  Supporting legs that open and close not only before and after the portable sheet cup but also right and left are provided.

The portable seat cup that is opened and closed and provided with a support leg that opens and closes to the portable seat cup that is integrated with the periphery except for the upper portion. When the support leg is closed, the portable seat cup can be made compact and used. When opening the folds on both sides at the same time, open the support legs, hold the liquid sheet such as water, and support the mobile sheet cup with the open support legs, and put the mobile sheet cup with support legs on the table etc. Can be put.

When the opening / closing direction of the supporting leg to be opened / closed is the front / rear direction of the portable sheet cup, the grounding length and width of the supporting leg are increased, and the portable sheet cup with the supporting leg can be stably placed on a table or the like. it can.

  Also, without touching the inner surface of the sheet of the portable sheet cup, the upper opening can be opened simply by grasping the portable sheet cup, and liquid such as water enters the portable sheet cup and the portable sheet cup swells. However, the portable seat cup can be supported by the support legs that are open so as not to fall down.

  Further, it is possible to almost eliminate the intersecting portion and the crease portion that are repeatedly bent greatly, and thus can be used repeatedly as a cup.

By providing the support legs on either one of the front sheet 1a and the back sheet 1b, the number of steps can be reduced and the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the support legs are provided on both sheet surfaces.

By providing support legs that open and close not only before and after the portable sheet cup, but also at the left and right, the portable sheet cup is supported by a support leg that is opened from a 360-degree direction, and the portable sheet cup with the support leg is placed on a table or the like Can be grounded.
Therefore, the portable sheet cup with supporting legs can be more stably placed on a table or the like, and even if something hits, the portable sheet cup with supporting legs can be easily prevented from falling.
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 13, and 14, the left and right support legs may be integrated with the lower part of the portable sheet cup by bonding or the like. Further, at this time, the vicinity of the upper part of the center of the seat surface of the left and right support legs is integrated by joining or the like, and a margin is provided in advance on both sides of the left and right support legs, which are on both sides of the left and right support legs. The part with the margin is first folded inward, then the margin is folded outwards to create a margin, and the margin is folded back to the outside, and the margin is integrated into the lower part of the portable seat cup. The strength of the left and right support legs may be increased by stacking the entire left and right support legs.
As a result, since all the support legs have a function of acting as a cushion in the vertical direction, the front and rear, left and right support legs can be more evenly installed on the installation surface, and the portable seat cup can be supported by the open support legs. .

  In either case, since the configuration is simple, it is inexpensive, and therefore can be thrown away without hesitation once or several times.

  In addition, when drinking spring water in a park or the like, or even in a place where a cup is not prepared when drinking juice etc., put liquid such as water in the portable sheet cup with supporting legs of the present invention, Easy to put and drink.

  In addition, if there is a wash basin, it can be stably placed on the wash basin and other operations such as shaving can be performed. It can also be used to carry out bad breath before meeting people, or to gargle or take medicine.

  After use, when not in use, the portable seat cup with support legs can be folded and flattened and stored in a bag or pocket.

The portable sheet cup is made of a paper whose surface is water repellent or antibacterial treated, or a sheet made of a resin such as plastic, and the like, and is made of a sheet having strength and hardness comparable to a commercially available paper container. As a result, even if the portable sheet cup with supporting legs of the present invention is used repeatedly, there is no portion where the complicated bending lines intersect, so the crease portion is damaged or liquid such as water soaks and breaks from that portion. It can prevent going.
Here, the bending line is the same as the fold line.

The support leg 2 extends substantially in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower parts of the support leg are integrated with the sheet surface of the mobile sheet cup facing each other. The support leg has an outermost fold line and an innermost fold line. Do it.

As shown in FIG. 14, the upper and lower portions of the support leg may be bent inward and bonded to the sheet surface of the portable sheet cup. Thereby, not only it is excellent in aesthetics, but also the support legs are balanced and the stability is further improved.
When using, open the support legs. To open the support leg, the outermost fold 2a of the support leg 2 protrudes outward, and the innermost fold 2b of the support leg 2 is substantially straightened to face the support leg. The sheet surface of the portable sheet cup forms a substantially triangular cross section with high rigidity. The portable seat cup is firmly supported by the opened support legs. On the other hand, the support leg can be substantially planarized when each fold is folded.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5, 8, and 11, when the folds of the support legs are folded and the portable sheet cup is substantially flattened, the whole becomes thin and suitable for carrying.
Further, since the support leg is substantially in the center in the width direction of the seat surface of the portable sheet cup, the left and right balance is further adjusted, and the portable sheet cup with the support leg can be stably placed on a table or the like. it can.

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