Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the inconvenience that a paper container for potable water, to be stored in a refrigerator or the like, does not have a holding portion, and that an elderly person or an infant therefore has a difficulty in holding or transporting the same, and to provide a holder which has a simple structure, facilitates attachment to the paper container, and positively holds the same. <P>SOLUTION: The holder is attached to the paper container having a square cross section. The holder has square-forming pieces to be fitted onto the paper container, and elastic annular portions at corners of the pieces, respectively, to thereby positively hold the paper container when fitted onto the same. Further the holder has a grip portion. Alternatively, the holder pieces may each have an arcuate cross section that is convex to the outside of the container. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a holder for transporting containers such as liquids, and more particularly to a holder that can be easily attached to a beverage bottle, a bottle, or the like, can be transported, and can be stored without taking up a volume in a refrigerator or the like.

Currently, paper containers for milk are widely available on the market. In many cases, these containers are transported without a holder or a handle, so that the cap part of the container is held, the body part is held with both hands, or is taken out of the refrigerator.
Others are in the form of a carrier that carries a bottle in it as a box, but this also has a size and lacks convenience and is difficult to enter into a refrigerator.

  There are also known ones that carry paper containers containing milk or the like. In other words, there are some which are inserted into a milk pack and locked with a fall-preventing claw.

Registered Utility Model No. 30433349 Patent Publication No. 2005-145557

  In the conventional configuration described above, for example, when taking out or putting a container such as drinking water or milk in a paper pack out of the refrigerator or carrying it, it is a burden for the elderly and children because it is heavy. , It often falls in the hands.

  The present invention improves the above-mentioned problems, has a simple structure, can be easily attached to an elderly person, a child, etc., and can be inserted into a container case provided in a door portion of a refrigerator, etc. It is an object to obtain a small holder that can be taken out or can be securely carried and does not take up space.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a holder attached to a paper container having a square cross section, the holder having a piece that forms a square inserted into the paper container, An annular portion having elasticity is provided at the corner of the piece, and a holder for securely holding the paper container is provided by being inserted into the paper container.

  Furthermore, the holder is provided with a handle that is convenient to carry.

  The holder piece has an arcuate cross section toward the outside of the container, thereby providing a holder that can be inserted into a paper container and reliably held.

  As described above, the present invention can be easily attached to a paper container by an elderly person or a child, can be easily transported, and can be easily taken out from a refrigerator or the like with one hand.

  In addition, this holder has the advantage that it does not obstruct other bottles and containers, and does not require extra space in the container of a refrigerator such as a refrigerator.

  Also, when the bottle is empty, the holder can be easily removed and reused, which is economical and can be used repeatedly. Moreover, since there is an annular portion, it is easy to hang it on a nail such as a wall.

  The present invention has been realized by providing a simple annular portion for a holder that is inserted into a rectangular paper container.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on an example with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 2 is shown attached to a commercially available paper container 1 for milk.
As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 2 has a piece 20 that forms a square shape to be attached to the paper container 1, and is attached around the paper container 1. These are made of an elastic material such as plastic. As shown in FIG. 1 (3), the rectangular holder 2 is provided with annular portions 3 that sandwich the corner portion 10 of the paper container 1 at four corners. It has a function of holding the container 1 firmly.

This point will be described in detail below.
The holder 2 is dimensioned so that it can be fitted into the paper container 1, and if it is formed with a slightly smaller dimension than the paper container 1, it will be difficult to drop off, and as will be described below. It becomes easy to grasp the corner 10 of the paper container 1.
As shown in FIG. 1 (2), the corner portion 10 of the paper container 1 can be fitted into the annular portion 3 due to elasticity, and when the paper container 1 is fitted, the annular portion 3 expands due to elasticity. It is like that. Accordingly, the fitting relationship between the holder 2 and the paper container 1 is determined such that the corner 10 of the paper container and the annular portion 3 of the holder 2 are fitted.

  Therefore, since the piece 20 expanded after fitting is going to return to the original state, the paper container 1 is sandwiched by the restoring force, and the container 1 can be securely fixed.

In the above embodiment, the piece 20 is linear with respect to the annular portion 3 at the corner, but as shown in FIG. Can do.
In this case, the arc-shaped piece 20 can make the paper container 1 easier to grip. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 (2), the corner portion 10 of the paper container 1 is fitted, so that a force in the F direction acts on the piece 20. This force becomes Fx in the horizontal component force, and this force acts to press and bend the piece 20. The piece 20 presses the corner portion 10 of the paper container 1 as a reaction force like a spring.

  Compared to the case of the straight line in the above example, it can be seen that the corner portion 10 is easy to be inserted because it is easily bent, and that the corner portion 10 is easily inserted and is surely inserted and easily inserted.

Also, as shown in FIG. 2 (2), when the arc-shaped piece 20 is placed on the opposite side, that is, inside the paper container 1, the force applied to the arc-shaped piece 20 is the same as in the above embodiment. The bending acts in the direction of the paper container 1.
Also in this case, the paper container 1 can be firmly fixed, but when the milk or the like inside the container 1 is reduced, the paper container 1 is further pressed.

  The material of the piece 20 is made of an elastic material such as a plastic material, but it must be rigid enough to carry the bottle. Of course, as a member made of an elastic member, various materials other than plastic can be adopted by those skilled in the art. For example, a thin plate-like iron material or a hard paper material can be used.

In addition, the holder 2 can grasp the piece 20 by itself and hold it by hand, but it is also conceivable to provide a handle 5 so as to make it easier to carry.
Various structures of the handle 5 are conceivable, but as shown in FIG. 1 (1), an L-shaped one is shown with respect to the piece 20, Are integrally molded. Of course, it may be fixed by a suitable means as a separate body.
When the refrigerator is inserted into a container case provided in a door for inserting a bottle or a container, it can be stored without problems if the handle 5 side is directed inward of the refrigerator.

Furthermore, if the elastic piece 301 is provided inside the piece 20 as shown in FIG. 1, the paper container 1 can be held more firmly.
The elastic piece 301 protrudes from the piece 20 as shown in (1) of FIG. 1 and extends upward. When pressed, the elastic piece 301 is compressed and acts like a spring. The direction is upward and opposite to the direction of insertion into the container.

  As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be considered by those skilled in the art based on the technical idea of the present invention.

The state which attaches the holder which is one of the Examples of this invention to a paper container is shown. It is a holder which is one of the other Examples of this invention, Comprising: The cross-sectional shape of this piece is shown.
