  However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is not possible to prevent the buyer from knowing the contents until the contents such as so-called fun bags and lucky bags are taken out, and even if the packaging is made strict, the contents are understood. Have In the case of giveaways and bonuses, there are several types of toys and characters, and you can look forward to collecting all of them, and have the effect of generating purchasing power until you have all of them in your sales strategy.

  In addition, companies that try to attach premiums and bonuses to beverage containers are not limited to beverage container manufacturers, and vendors purchased from manufacturers may put premiums and bonuses from those manufacturers. There is a demand to put a gift on the container and put a prize or a bonus. However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, there is no such lid, and the lid needs to be tight. However, it is desirable that the lid can be easily taken out when taking out a prize or a bonus, and sometimes the opened state is known.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to attach a connecting container to the bottom of the beverage container, but make it difficult to recognize the contents of the connecting container from the outside, and easily cover the gift or bonus while covering the gift. It is an object of the present invention to provide a beverage container with a prize that can be attached or detached.

  According to the present invention, since the connecting container is not transparent and colored so that the contents cannot be confirmed, it is not recognized until the prize or bonus to be stored opens the connecting container.

  As the present invention, the beverage container is transparent, and a packaging film is wound around the connection portion between the transparent beverage container and the connection container, or the connection of the transparent beverage container It is preferable that the packaging film is wound around the outer periphery on the container side.

  According to the present invention, when the beverage container is transparent, simply coloring the connection container may cause the contents to be recognized from this portion because the bottom of the beverage container is transparent. Therefore, since the packaging film is wound around the outer periphery at least at the connection location between the transparent beverage container and the coupling container, the packaging film becomes an obstacle and the contents cannot be recognized. It should be noted that the beverage container being transparent (including translucent) may be indispensable for producing a refreshing feeling when water or tea is added.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that a colored lid is attached to the connecting container. When the beverage container is transparent, simply coloring the connecting container may cause the contents to be recognized from this portion because the bottom of the beverage container is transparent. Therefore, since the packaging film is wound around the outer periphery at least at the connection location between the transparent beverage container and the coupling container, the packaging film becomes an obstacle and the contents cannot be recognized.

  The present invention is characterized in that a concavo-convex portion is formed on the outer periphery of the bottom portion of the beverage container, a convex / concave portion corresponding to the upper outer periphery of the connecting container is formed, and the concavo-convex portion and the convex / concave portion are overlapped. . According to the present invention, the concave and convex portions and the convex and concave portions are overlapped, so that the attachment and detachment is accurate and easy.

  As this invention, it is preferable that the outer periphery of the said cover body is engage | inserted by the recessed part of the convex recessed part of the said container for connection. According to the present invention, the colored lid is fitted into the concave portion of the convex concave portion of the connection container, so that the lid can be easily formed and the lid body is not easily detached from the connection container.

  According to the present invention, since the connecting container is not transparent and colored so that the contents cannot be confirmed, it is not recognized until the prize or bonus to be stored opens the connecting container. Therefore, until the beverage container purchaser removes the connecting container from the beverage container and removes the prize or bonus from the coupling container, the premium or bonus cannot be actually recognized. It becomes possible to purchase the beverage container with such a feeling, and a sales promotion effect can be expected even for a trader who puts a prize or a bonus.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connecting container 3 of a beverage container with a prize according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a side view in an exploded state. FIG. 4 is a side view of a state in which the beverage container (main body) 2 and the connection container 3 are connected, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the connected state. The beverage container 1 with a prize according to the present embodiment includes a cylindrical beverage container 2, a cylindrical connecting container 3 attached to the bottom thereof, and a lid 4 that covers the connecting container. A drinking mouth 2a is provided above the beverage container 2, and a so-called seal cap is provided so that the cap can be confirmed to be opened. The prize or bonus 5 shown in FIG. 10 is an example thereof, and the description will be made assuming that the types of cartoon characters can be put in the connecting container 3 one by one.

  The beverage container 2 is a plastic bottle (made of polyethylene terephthalate resin) filled with water, tea, or the like, and has a drinking mouth on the upper side and a bottom on the lower side. Here, it is a 330 ml-sized plastic bottle, and when combined with a connecting container described later, it becomes a 500-ml size. The connecting container 3 is for storing premiums and bonuses 5 and is not for water or tea, but is 170 ml in size. That is, the total weight when the prize or the bonus 5 is put does not exceed 500 ml.

  The beverage container 2 is a transparent plastic bottle, but the connecting container 3 is colored so that the contents and bonus 5 cannot be confirmed. That is, the connection container 3 is colored PET.

  An uneven portion 6 is formed on the entire outer periphery of the bottom of the beverage container 2. The concavo-convex portion 6 of the present embodiment has a concave portion 6b and a convex portion 6a therebelow. On the other hand, corresponding to this, a convex concave portion 9 is provided in the entire upper outer periphery of the connecting container 3, and the convex concave portion 9 is formed with a central convex portion 9b and upper and lower concave portions 9a. And these uneven | corrugated | grooved parts 6 and the convex-concave part 9 are piled up, and it becomes a 500 ml size PET bottle.

  The connecting container 3 is provided with a lid 4, is made of PET material, and is colored so that a prize or bonus 5 cannot be confirmed. The lid body 4 is a thin circular plate, and the outer periphery of the lid body 4 is fitted into the concave portion 9b above the convex concave portions 9a and 9b of the connecting container 3. The lid body 4 is colored, and when the lid body 4 is fitted to the connecting container 3, the prize or the bonus 5 cannot be confirmed from the outside. In addition, the lid body 4 is fitted into the recess 9b, so that the lid body 4 supports the lid body 4 even when the weight of the beverage container 2 is applied. Several air holes are provided in the connecting container 3. The lid 4 is provided with a claw 4a for facilitating its removal. The claw 4a is easily pulled up from the lid 4 by a groove or notch formed in the lid 4. In addition, the connection container 3 and the lid body 4 can also have a structure that can be easily opened like a seal cap so that the opening can be understood, like the cap.

Therefore, when using the beverage container 1 with a prize according to the present embodiment, if a prize or a bonus 5 is put in the connecting container 3 and the lid 4 is fitted to the connecting container 3 (FIG. 4), the prize or the bonus is given. 5 cannot be confirmed from the outside. The lid is attached so as to enter the inside of the convex part 9 b at the center of the convex concave part 9 of the connecting container 3. Since the concavo-convex portion 6 is provided in the entire outer periphery of the bottom of the beverage container 2 and the convex recess 9 is provided in the entire outer periphery of the coupling container 3, only when the beverage container 2 and the coupling container 3 are stacked one above the other. It is also possible to overlap the two while rotating them. When the concave and convex portion 6 of the beverage container 2 and the convex and concave portions 9a and 9b of the connecting container 9 are overlapped, the beverage container 1 with a gift of the present embodiment has a 500 ml size, and is an ordinary 500 ml size plastic bottle in appearance. It will not change at all (Fig. 5).
This may be sold as it is, but it is better to sell it with a vending machine. Even if sold with a vending machine, it does not change from a normal 500ml plastic bottle (because the size and weight are the same), so it does not cause malfunctions and the contents are confirmed. Since it is not possible, it becomes possible to purchase the beverage container 1 as if it were a so-called fun bag or lucky bag, and a sales promotion effect can be expected even for a trader who puts a prize or a bonus 5. In addition, 500ml plastic bottles often leave you drinking, but water and tea are 330ml, so you will have less leftovers and more fun.

  Here, as another example of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the connection container 3 may have no lid. In the example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the concave portion 9a of the convex concave portion 9 of the connecting container 3 has a single structure. The material of the connecting container 3 may be a material other than PET, such as aluminum, but in this embodiment, the same PET material is used in order to provide a unity with the beverage container 2. The same PET material is used to prevent the vending machine from malfunctioning.

(Second Embodiment)

It is a side view of the state which connected the container for connection in the state which was in contact. In the beverage container 11 with a prize of the present embodiment, the beverage container 2 is transparent, and a packaging film F is wound around the outer periphery of the connection portion between the transparent beverage container 2 and the connection container 3. . For this reason, the beverage container 2 and the connecting container 3 are formed with a recess 8 for facilitating winding of the packaging film F. The packaging film F includes a vertical perforation m1 and a horizontal perforation m2. The lateral perforation m2 is preferably provided along the positions of the concave portions 9a and 9a (outer peripheral grooves) of the convex concave portion 9 from the viewpoint of peeling so as to be twisted. In addition, although it demonstrates that the said cover body 4 is not used for the container 3 for a connection of this Embodiment, the cover body 4 may exist.

  Therefore, when taking out the prize or the bonus 5 from the connecting container 3, the external packaging film F is removed. Since the perforation m2 is also formed in the lateral direction, if the beverage container 2 and the connecting container 3 are held with the left and right hands and twisted with both hands, the packaging film F will follow the perforation m2. Along with being cut off, the overlapping portion of the concave and convex portion 6 and the convex and concave portion 9 is removed, and the connecting container 3 can be removed from the beverage container 2.

  Here, the packaging film F is for preventing the contents in the connecting container 3 from being recognized from the bottom side of the beverage container 2, and is used when the lid 4 is used. If the contents 5 cannot be recognized from the bottom of the beverage container 2 without the lid 4, it may not be used. Moreover, even if the recessed part 8 is provided in the bottom part side of the container 2 for drinks, ie, the container 3 for connection, and the packaging film 6 is stuck, the content in the container 3 for connection cannot be recognized. However, since the description etc. of the drink container 1 of this Embodiment may be needed, you may use the packaging film F for that.
