Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a top face opening type multi-pack made of a paperboard suitable for carrying under a suspension. <P>SOLUTION: In the multi-pack made of the paperboard wrapping cans accumulated into up and down two stages, top boards 4 respectively extended from a front board 2 and a back board 3 are stuck together at the central part of a top face, and gripping holes 8 are formed on both sides. A straight tearing strip 11 pinched by two cutting lines 10 is provided a little upper part of the cans on the lower stage side and in the horizontal direction from the front face board 2 to the end edge of an inner flap 5 linked to this. A cutting line 12 for cutting a stuck part with the inner flap 5 is formed on the back part of the outer flap 6 linked to the top board 4. When the cutting line 12 of the outer flap 6 is cut by removing the tearing strip 11, and the top board 4 is opened backward, whole the top face from the front face and the upper part of the end face is opened. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-pack for packaging a plurality of cans such as beverages together.

  Conventionally, as a corrugated cardboard lapland case used for packaging beverage cans such as beer, the following Patent Document 1 describes a case as shown in FIG. In this lap land case, a bottom plate 50, a front plate 51, a rear plate 52, and a top plate 53 are connected in series so as to wrap a plurality of cans C together, and an inner flap that extends from the edges of the front plate 51 and the rear plate 52 is provided. 54, the outer flap 55 extending from the end edges of the bottom plate 50 and the top plate 53 is bonded together, and the end surface is closed to seal the plate.

  In this wrap round case, zipper-shaped cut lines 57 are formed in a V-shape in both directions from finger insertion holes 56 provided in the vicinity of the center of the front plate 51, and the inner flaps 54 on both sides thereof are continuous with the cut lines 57. A perforated cut line 58 extending to the end edge is provided, and a cut line 59 for cutting the bonded portion with the inner flap 54 is provided at the rear of the upper outer flap 55.

  As a result, a finger is put into the finger insertion hole 56 and the front plate 51 is pulled toward the front, the cut line 57 of the front plate 51 is cut, the upper part of the front plate 51 is pulled up, and both inner flaps connected to the front plate 51 are connected. 54, cut the cut line 58, and then cut the cut line 59 of the upper outer flap 55 connected to the top plate 53. When the top plate 53 is opened rearward, the entire top surface opens from the front and upper end surfaces. The can C can be taken out of the case.

Utility Model Registration No. 2601679

  However, when a handle hole is formed on the top surface of the wrap round case as described above, a large number of beverage cans are stacked in two upper and lower stages and can be carried in a suspended state. When carrying the product, the top plate may be torn around the handle hole due to the load of the stored can, and the front plate or the inner flap connected to the front plate may be torn along the score line.

  Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the top surface opening type multipack made from paperboard suitable for carrying in the suspended state.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is such that a bottom plate, a front plate, a rear plate and a top plate are connected in series so as to wrap cans stacked in two upper and lower stages, and an inner flap extending from the edge of the front plate and the rear plate is provided. In the multi-pack made of paperboard that attaches the outer flaps extending from the edge of the bottom plate and the top plate to close the end surface, the top plate is extended from the front plate and the rear plate, respectively, and the top plates are pasted at the center of the top surface In addition, a grip hole is formed on both sides, and a straight strip-shaped tear strip sandwiched between two cut lines is formed horizontally from the front plate to the edge of the inner flap connected to the front plate. Set the cut line to cut the bonded part with the inner flap in the rear part of the outer flap connected to the top plate, cut the tear band, cut the cut line of the outer flap, and open the top plate backward The entire top surface opens from the front and upper end.

  In this multi-pack, when you put your finger in the handle hole and carry it, the top plate overlaps between the handle holes even if the load of the stored can acts, so the top plate is difficult to tear from the periphery of the handle hole, Further, since the cutting means for the front plate is a horizontal straight belt-like tear band, the phenomenon that the front plate and the inner flap connected thereto are torn along the score line is also prevented. In addition, the upper can will not pop out when opened.

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

  This multi-pack is formed by stacking 30 beverage cans in two upper and lower stages, and is formed from a paperboard blank shown in FIG. In this blank, a front plate 2 and a rear plate 3 are connected to the bottom plate 1, and a top plate 4 is connected to the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3, respectively. An inner flap 5 is connected to the end edges of the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3, and an outer flap 6 is connected to the end edges of the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 4, respectively, and is folded into the outer edge of the top plate 4 connected to the rear plate 3. The pieces 7 are continuously provided.

  Each top plate 4 is formed with a handle hole 8 at the center near the outer edge, and allows bending of the finger to the handle hole 8 from the handle hole 8 toward the base end angle, allowing bending when being carried in a suspended state. In order to facilitate the insertion, diagonal ruled lines 9 are provided.

  From the front plate 2 to the edge of the inner flap 5 connected thereto, a straight strip-shaped tear strip 11 sandwiched between two zipper-shaped cut lines 10 is provided in the horizontal direction. The tear strip 11 is positioned slightly above the lower can in the packaged state, and can be cut without interruption to the end when it is pulled starting from the end of one inner flap 5. Further, the outer flap 6 connected to the rear top plate 4 is provided with a perforated cut line 12 that crosses obliquely.

  To assemble such a blank and wrap the can, as shown in FIG. 2, the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3 are erected from the bottom plate 1 on which the cans are accumulated and mounted, and the top plate 4 connected to them is Each is folded backward and forward and pasted at the center of the top surface, and the outer flap 6 connected to each top plate 4 is also pasted together, and the folding piece 7 is folded inward and pasted to the inner surface of the rear top plate 4.

  Subsequently, the inner flap 5 and the outer flap 6 are sequentially bent and bonded together, and the end surfaces are closed and sealed. At this time, the flap 6 above the rear portion is attached to the inner flap 5 at the portion outside the cut line 12.

  In the packaged state as described above, when the finger is put into the handle hole 8 and carried, the top plate 4 overlaps between the handle holes 8 even if the load of the stored can C is applied, and is further reinforced by the folding piece 7. Therefore, the top plate 4 is not easily broken from the periphery of the handle hole 8, and the cutting means of the front plate 2 is a horizontal straight belt-like tear strip 11. Therefore, the front plate 2 and the inner flap connected thereto The phenomenon that 5 is split along the score line 10 is also prevented.

  On the other hand, when opening the multipack, the tear strip 10 is cut from one inner flap 5 through the front plate 2 to the other inner flap 5, and a finger is put into the resulting gap, as shown in FIG. Thus, the cut line 12 is cut and the top plate 4 is opened backward.

  When opened in this way, since the entire top surface opens from the front and upper end surface, the can C can be easily taken out, and the front flap 2 and the inner flap 5 connected to both sides thereof are slightly above the lower can C. Since it is cut, the upper can C does not pop out.
