Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging container.

  Conventionally, as a content, for example, in a packaging container containing liquid food, a spout is formed in a predetermined portion of the main body of the packaging container, that is, the container main body, and a pull tab is attached to the spout. It has become so.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a conventional packaging container.

  In the figure, 10 is a container body, 12 is a top wall of the container body 10, 19 is a rear wall of the container body 10, and 20 is a side wall of the container body 10. A predetermined position of the top wall 12 is punched. A spout (not shown) made of a hole is formed, and the spout is covered with a pull tab 15. In this case, the drinker can peel the pull tab 15 from the container body 10, open the spout, apply the lips to the spout, and drink the liquid food directly.

  However, in this type of packaging container, when the pull tab 15 is peeled off, the spout remains open, so that foreign matter may enter the container body 10 through the spout, and all liquids When food cannot be drunk, the inside of the container body 10 becomes unsanitary.

  Therefore, a packaging container having a resin cap is provided so that the spout can be repeatedly opened and closed.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another conventional packaging container.

  In the figure, 10 is a container body, 12 is a top wall, 19 is a rear wall, 20 is a side wall, and a spout (not shown) made of a punch hole is formed at a predetermined position of the top wall 12. Covered by a pull tab 15.

  A cap portion 16 is disposed so as to surround the spout. The cap portion 16 has a main body portion 17 having an opening formed corresponding to the spout, and is supported to be swingable with respect to the main body portion 17 via a hinge so as to open and close the spout. And a lid portion 18.

And a drinker can rotate the said cover part 18 and put it in an open state, peels off the said pull tab 15, opens a spout, and can pour out liquid food. In this case, since the spout can be closed by the cap portion 16 even when the spout is opened and not all liquid food can be consumed, the inside of the container body 10 does not become unsanitary. Moreover, since the area of a spout is large compared with the packaging container 10 shown by FIG. 2, a lot of liquid foods can be poured out.
Japanese Patent No. 3561526

  However, in the conventional packaging container 10, when the poured liquid food is to be poured into a predetermined container, if the container has a small inlet, the poured liquid food is surely contained in the container. Can not be injected into.

  The present invention solves the problems of the conventional packaging container and provides a packaging container that can pour out a large amount of contents or reliably inject the contents into a container having a small inlet. With the goal.

  For this purpose, the packaging container of the present invention comprises a container main body in which a spout is formed at a predetermined location, a main body part, and a lid part that is placed in an open state and a closed state with respect to the main body part. A cap part that surrounds the outlet and is affixed to the container body, and a cylindrical body that is detachably disposed with respect to the lid part of the cap part, and is a latch for preventing the cap part from falling off. And a spout part provided with a part.

  According to the present invention, the packaging container includes a container main body in which a spout is formed at a predetermined location, a main body portion, and a lid portion that is placed in an open state and a closed state with respect to the main body portion. A cap part that surrounds the outlet and is affixed to the container body, and a cylindrical body that is detachably disposed with respect to the lid part of the cap part, and is a latch for preventing the cap part from falling off. And a spout part provided with a part.

  In this case, a large amount of contents can be poured out through the spout by placing the lid portion in an open state. Further, by attaching the spout portion to the lid portion, the contents can be reliably injected into a container having a small injection port. Further, for example, when the contents are dressing, sauce, etc., the contents can be directly poured out by tilting the container body. In addition, when the contents cannot be used like a sports drink, the contents can be directly drunk by turning the container body upside down.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing components of a cap unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an attachment state of a spout according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the closed state of the cover member in 1st Embodiment.

  In the figure, 11 is a packaging container, 10 is a container body having a quadrangular cross section and contains liquid food as contents, and 21 is a resin attached to a cap attachment position on the top wall 12 of the container body 10. It is a cap unit.

  The said container main body 10 is formed by folding the packaging material which was formed in the shape of a web, or was cut and made into blanks by a predetermined method, and seals a predetermined location. The packaging material includes, for example, an outer layer, a paper base, an adhesive layer, a barrier layer, an adhesive layer, and an inner layer, which are sequentially formed from the outer side to the inner side when the packaging container 10 is formed. In general, the outer layer, the adhesive layer, and the inner layer are formed of a resin such as low density polyethylene and an ethylene copolymer, but the outer layer and the inner layer are preferably formed of polyethylene. The barrier layer is formed of aluminum foil or the like, and predetermined printing is performed on the outer surface of the outer layer or the outer surface of the paper base as necessary.

  The cap unit 21 includes a cap portion 22, a spout portion (spout) 23 that is detachably disposed on the cap portion 22, and the like. The cap portion 22 includes a main body portion 34, and the main body portion. It comprises a lid portion 35 that is swingably supported with respect to the portion 34 via a hinge 36 and is placed in an open state and a closed state. The spout portion 23 is formed of a cylindrical body having openings m1 and m2 formed at both ends, such as a straw, and is formed by projecting in a radial direction at the center in the axial direction, The flange portion 24 extends to one side and is inclined with respect to the axial direction to form an inner edge 25 having an acute edge eg1, and the flange portion 24 extends to the other side and is perpendicular to the axial direction. The outer part 26 in which the edge eg2 was formed is provided. A through hole 28 is formed in the inner portion 25 in the vicinity of the flange portion 24 so as to penetrate therethrough. The hinge 36 is formed by a thin portion.

  The main body portion 34 includes a front edge portion 41 extending in parallel with a ridge line portion p1 where the top wall 12 and the front wall 13 are in contact in the vicinity of the front wall 13 of the container body 10, and the front edge portion 41 A rectangular shape having a rear edge portion 43 extending in parallel and along the hinge 36 and a pair of side edge portions 44 connecting the front edge portion 41 and the rear edge portion 43 on the left and right. An opening 45 surrounded by the front edge portion 41, the rear edge portion 43, and the side edge portions 44 is formed on the inner side. The lid portion 35 includes a flat plate portion 46 having a rectangular shape, and a flange portion 47 formed to protrude outward from the peripheral edge of the flat plate portion 46, and the front edge of the flange portion 47 A handle 49 is formed at a portion corresponding to the portion 41.

  And in the part corresponding to the opening 45 in the said top wall 12, the spout 52 is formed by forming a punch hole in the packaging material 51 which comprises the container main body 10, and this spout 52 is used as a sealing member. And it is covered and sealed with the outer tab 53 as a fracture | rupture part. Further, the cap portion 22 is attached to the top wall 12 so as to surround the spout 52. In order to make it easier to peel off the outer tab 53, a tab 54 is formed on one end side of the outer tab 53, in the present embodiment, on the rear edge portion 43 side.

  Incidentally, as described above, the spout portion 23 is detachably disposed with respect to the cap portion 22. Therefore, in the initial state, the lid portion 35 can be placed in a closed state or an open state without attaching the spout portion 23 to the cap portion 22.

  When a large amount of liquid food is to be poured out from the packaging container 11, the lid 49 is rotated by placing a finger on the handle 49 and placed in an open state as shown in FIG. When the outer tab 53 is peeled off by pulling 54 and the spout 52 is opened, the container body 10 is opened. Therefore, by holding and tilting the packaging container 11, the liquid food stored in the container body 10 can be poured out through the spout 52. In this case, since the area of the spout 52 is large, a large amount of liquid food can be poured out. Thereafter, the lid portion 35 can be placed in a closed state or an open state by swinging.

  When the liquid food poured out from the packaging container 11 is to be poured into a mouth of a container such as soy sauce or sauce, that is, a container with a small inlet, as shown in FIG. 23 can be attached to the cap portion 22. In this case, the spout portion 23 is detachably attached from the back side of the lid portion 35 while the lid portion 35 is left open.

  For this purpose, a cap breakage portion having various shapes such as a circular shape and a cross shape is formed at the attachment position of the spout portion 23 in the rear edge portion 43, for example, a thin portion. The spout portion 23 can be attached to the lid portion 35 by holding the spout portion 23 and pressing the edge eg2 of the outer portion 26 against the cap rupture portion to cause breakage. At this time, the flange portion 24 is placed in contact with the back surface of the rear edge portion 43. In addition, the said cap fracture | rupture part is fractured | ruptured and the outer side part 26 is penetrated through the through-hole h1 formed with this fracture | rupture.

  In this way, when the lid portion 35 is placed in a closed state as shown in FIG. 5 with the spout portion 23 attached to the lid portion 35, the outer tab 53 is broken by the edge eg1 of the inner portion 25. Thus, the insertion hole h <b> 2 is formed, and the inner portion 25 is inserted into the container body 10. When the lid portion 35 is placed in the closed state, the main body portion 34 and the lid portion 35 are snapped, so that the lid portion 35 is opened unless the handle 49 is gripped and an external force is applied to the lid portion 35. It is not put into state. Further, the main body 34 and the lid portion 35 are sealed and sealed in the entire circumferential direction.

  Therefore, when the packaging container 11 is inclined and the opening m2 on the outer side portion 26 side is directed downward, the liquid food in the container body 10 enters the spout portion 23 via the opening m1 on the inner side 25 side and the through hole 28. It enters and is discharged out of the container body 10 through the opening m2 on the outer side 26 side.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, liquid food can be poured out through the spout portion 23. And since the area of the opening m2 by the side of the outer side 26 is small, the poured-out liquid food can be reliably inject | poured into a container with a small inlet. In the case of liquid foods such as dressings and sauces, the liquid food can be directly poured out by tilting the container body 10. Furthermore, when a straw cannot be used like a sports drink etc., a liquid food can also be drunk directly by turning the container main body 10 upside down.

  Moreover, since the through-hole 28 is formed in the vicinity of the flange part 24 in the inner side part 25, even if the spout part 23 whose inner side part 25 side is long is used, liquid food can be poured out to the end. And since the through-hole 28 functions as an air hole, liquid food can be poured out smoothly.

  Further, since the flange portion 24 is disposed inside the lid portion 35, it functions as a retaining portion for preventing the spout portion 23 from falling out of the lid portion 35.

  Therefore, even when the packaging container 11 is tilted and the opening m2 on the outer side 26 side is directed downward when liquid food is poured out, the spout portion 23 does not fall out of the lid portion 35. Moreover, as for each resin of the cap part 22 and the spout part 23, the material whose one is softer than the other is used. Therefore, the sealing performance between the outer portion 26 and the through hole h1 can be enhanced.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In addition, about the thing which has the same structure as 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is provided and the effect of the same embodiment is used about the effect of the invention by having the same structure.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing components of the cap unit in the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of the spout portion in the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the other example of the through-hole in the 2nd Embodiment of invention.

  In this case, the spout portion 23 is detachably attached from the front side of the lid portion 35 while the lid portion 35 is placed in a closed state. For this purpose, a through hole 61 is formed in the approximate center of the flat plate portion 46, and a thin tape 62 as a sealing member is attached to the through hole 61 in advance. Further, a screw 64 is formed at a location adjacent to the flange portion 24 in the inner portion 25. The outer diameter of the inner portion 25 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 61. In this case, the screw 64 functions as a retaining portion for preventing the spout portion 23 from falling off the lid portion 35.

  Therefore, the spout portion 23 can be screwed and attached to the lid portion 35 by removing the tape 62, inserting the inner portion 25 into the through hole 61, and moving the spout portion 23 downward while rotating. . At this time, the outer tab 53 as a sealing member and as a fracture portion is broken by the edge eg1 of the inner portion 25 to form an insertion hole, and the inner portion 25 is inserted into the container body 10.

  In this case, since the through hole 61 is formed in advance, the work for attaching the spout portion 23 to the lid portion 35 can be simplified.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a constricted portion 66 is provided between the inner portion 25 and the outer portion 26 as a retaining portion for preventing the spout portion 23 from falling off from the lid portion 35. Can be formed.

  Moreover, the freedom degree of design of the spout part 23 can be made high, and the through-hole 61 formed in the flat plate part 46 can be made into an elliptical shape as shown in FIG. In that case, the spout portion 23 can be attached to the lid portion 35 at an angle.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the gist of the present invention, and they are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.
