Description

  The present invention relates to a shopping bag for storing products after payment in a supermarket or the like. In particular, the present invention relates to a shopping bag that can pack products with care and care.

  In supermarkets and the like, the following operations are generally performed when a purchased product is settled. First, a customer puts a basket with a product on a table. The store clerk takes out the product from the basket, reads the barcode attached to the product with a barcode reading device (scanner device), and then puts it in another basket placed downstream of the scanner device. After all products have been read, the store clerk calculates the purchase amount with the register device and settles it. After the checkout, the customer moves the basket containing the set-up merchandise to another table (soccer table) and packs it in a shopping bag there.

At this time, the customer spreads the shopping bag on the soccer stand and packs the shopping bag from a product that is not easily broken, for example. The shopping bag is folded in advance into a sheet shape and is used with its mouth widened. Such a shopping bag is generally made of a thin sheet of polyethylene and does not stand up in its expanded state. Therefore, it is necessary to widen the mouth of the shopping bag and support it with one hand.
In addition, when a product includes a warm product such as a lunch box and a refrigerated product such as frozen food, the product needs to be packed separately in separate shopping bags, resulting in two pieces of baggage. Even when food and chemical products such as detergents are included, it is necessary to pack the food and chemical products separately.

By the way, the present inventors have proposed a rotary bagging table (soccer table) capable of improving the service by allowing the store clerk to bag the product after payment, and performing the payment operation efficiently (patent document). 1).
Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-221550

FIG. 9 is a view showing a checkout system including a rotary bagging base.
A rotary bagging base (soccer base) 100 is mainly provided on a base base 110, a rotary table (rotary base) 130 rotatably provided on the base base 110, and an upper surface of the rotary base. A fixed table 160 that does not rotate. The turntable 130 has a lower circular table 131 and side walls composed of three surfaces. Each side wall is provided with a rack 170 for hanging two pairs of packaging bags (plastic bags).

  This checkout system includes a table 201 on which a shopping cart is placed, a barcode reading device (scanner device) 202, a register table 203, and a rotary bagging table 100. The table 201, the scanner device 202, and the bagging table 100 are arranged on a substantially straight line along the passage. Further, the scanner device 202, the register table 203, and the bagging table 100 are arranged so as to surround the store clerk.

  The turntable 130 of the bagging table 100 is positioned so that one side surface faces the store clerk. In addition, each pair of racks 170 provided on the same side surface is hung with a shopping bag open.

  When the customer places the shopping cart on the table 201, the store clerk takes out the product from the cart and reads the barcode attached to the product with the scanner device 202. Thereafter, the store clerk packs the product whose bar code is read into a shopping bag hooked on the rack pair 170 of the bagging table 100. At this time, since one side surface of the turntable 130 faces the store clerk, the store clerk can pack the product in the bag without looking back or extending his hand.

  The store clerk pays toward the register table 203 after reading the bar codes and packaging of all the commodities. After the payment, the store clerk rotates the rotary table 130 of the bagging table 100 in this example by about 120 ° in the counterclockwise direction in the figure. Then, the side surface of the turntable 130 on which the bag filled with products is hung is directed to the passage side. The customer goes straight from the placing table 201 to the bagging table 100 along the passage, and pulls out the shopping bag filled with products from the rack 170 of the same table. When the rotary table 130 is rotated by 120 °, the next side of the table 130 faces the store clerk and the next operation can be started quickly.

However, when this rotary bagging table is used, the store clerk packs the product in the plastic bag, so that depending on the store clerk, the handling of the product becomes complicated and the product cannot be properly packed in the bag. . In addition, if the store clerk takes time to pack the bag, the customer will wait and there is a concern that the service will be reduced. Therefore, in order for the store clerk to be able to pack bags carefully and carefully, there are the following requirements.
(1) Since a conventional plastic shopping bag is not self-supporting, even when the shopping bag is placed on a rack of a turntable, the shopping bag cannot be held in a fully expanded state. When the plastic bag is fully unfolded, the product can be handled with a margin, and the bagging work can be performed efficiently.
(2) Two pairs of racks are provided on the side of the turntable, and warm and cold items, food and chemical products can be packed in separate plastic bags. However, when the amount of the product is small, it is preferable to pack it in one plastic bag as much as possible in order to reduce the cost of the plastic bag.

  Furthermore, in general, it is preferable for the plastic bag to be designed so that even if a heavy product is packed in the plastic bag, it does not go into the customer's hand or place a large burden. Furthermore, if the shopping bag is folded compactly without being bulky, many used shopping bags can be easily stored at home and the like.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a plastic bag that can be efficiently packed in a storage space of the plastic bag.

By providing the cores at the four corners of the storage part, the storage part can be opened independently. If the container is self-supporting in an open state, the product can be easily packaged in a well-planned manner, and the storage space in the container can be used efficiently (with no gap). For example, it becomes easy to store lunch boxes and side dishes in a horizontal state.
In addition, since the hand-holding portion is provided with an engagement portion with a bag discharge rack, it is also suitable for a rotary bagging base. When it is applied to a rotary bagging table, it becomes easier for the store clerk to pack products, so that the checkout operation can be made more efficient.
