Description

  The present invention relates to a container that stores merchandise such as a fishing rod in a retail store or the like, and is hung on a hook member or the like protruding from a display wall surface in the store and hung and displayed.

  When selling and selling fishing rods etc. at retail stores, when the fishing rod is a joint type, or when it is short, a transparent film part has been conventionally provided, and it is mainly assembled and formed using cardboard. A plastic sheet is folded and placed in a display container that is usually an elongated rectangular parallelepiped. Has been done.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the main part (upper part) of a typical container, and FIG. 4 (a) shows a state where the lid is opened, and FIG. FIG. 4C shows a closed state. The main body 10 of the container is formed of four rectangular side walls 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D. The lid 20 that closes the upper end opening of the main body has four rectangular lid elements 20A, 20B, 20C, and 20D, which correspond to the respective side walls in this order, and the upper end of each side wall. The portions are integrally connected to the extended shape, and each boundary line portion can be bent so as to be restored.

  A hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro tape (registered trademark)) 10K as a main body side engaging portion is adhesively fixed by a double-sided tape at a position near the upper end of the specific side wall 10C among the four side walls of the main body. On the other hand, a hook-and-loop fastener 20K as a lid-side engaging portion is adhered and fixed to the back surface of the lid element (specific lid element) 20A connected to the side wall 10A at a position facing the specific side wall 10C by a double-sided tape. ing. The specific lid element 20A is provided with a cut-and-raft type latching portion 30.

The lid 20 is closed by first closing the lid elements 20B and 20D, then closing the lid element 20C, finally closing the specific lid element 20A, and engaging the surface fasteners 10K and 20K with each other. Closure is complete. Thereafter, the latching portion 30 is raised, and the through-hole 30H is hooked through a hook member protruding from the display wall surface of the store, suspended and displayed.
Further, the following patent document discloses a fishing rod housing display container by the present applicant. An extension piece 1j (hanging portion) is extended on the specific side wall 1c, and the free end side region 1o of the extension piece 1f (specific cover element) is accommodated inside the specific side wall. Closure is made.
JP-A-2002-142639

  In the form of FIG. 4, the entire weight of the accommodation fishing rod or the like acts on the latching part 30. Therefore, in the case of the configuration container described above, the specific lid element 20 </ b> A integrated with the latching part 30 is against the main body part 10. Try to lift relatively. Therefore, the hook-and-loop fastener 20K that is the lid-side engaging portion and the hook-and-loop fastener 10K that is the main-body-side engaging portion are relatively strongly attracted in the vertical direction. Thereby, a load acts on the adhesion interface of the hook-and-loop fastener in the side wall or the lid element, and the problem that the position of the hook-and-loop fastener shifts or peels off may occur. When adhesive bonding is used instead of double-sided tape, workability is poor, and it takes time to fix the adhesive. With the instant adhesive, the container made of a synthetic resin film is whitened. For this reason, a container in which a hook-and-loop fastener bonded with a double-sided tape is further fixed to a side wall or a lid element with a stapler has also appeared.

When fixing with a stapler, which is such a metal part, the process is added in the container manufacturing process, and the appearance of the finished container product is never good, and furthermore, when the container is discarded on the purchaser side From the separation of trash, the metal stapler must be removed, which is not preferable.
Moreover, in the case of the form of patent document 1, in order to close the free end part area | region of a specific cover element in the state inside the container, when opening a cover part, the free end of a specific cover element is hooked with a fingertip. Therefore, there is a drawback that it takes time to open the lid.
Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in a container that accommodates and displays merchandise such as fishing rods, the lid can be quickly opened and closed, and when the latching part is hooked, the lid side engaging part and the main body side engaging It is an object of the present invention to provide a container having a structure capable of preventing relative deviation from a part.

In the first invention, the container is a vertically long container having a polygonal cross-sectional shape, and has a main body, a bottom that closes the lower end opening of the main body, and a lid that can be opened and closed to close the upper end opening of the main body. The lid portion is provided at the upper end portion of the side wall forming the main body portion, has a lid element that can be bent with respect to the side wall, and is outside the specific side wall among the plurality of side walls forming the main body portion. The lid portion is provided on a specific lid element, and the specific lid element is bent so that the free end side region covers the outside of the specific side wall. In the case of a state, it has a lid side engaging part that can be detachably engaged with the main body side engaging part, and has a latching part connected to the upper end part of the specific side wall. I will provide a.
The top and bottom are expressed by the top and bottom in a state where the container is suspended.

  In a second invention, the polygon of the first invention is a rectangle, the latching portion is a flat plate, and a hole is provided inside the region of the specific lid element, and the free end region is When the specific lid element is folded so as to cover the outside of the specific side wall, the flat plate-like latching portion can be inserted through the hole, and the size of the flat plate-shaped latching portion in the flat plate-like spreading direction is the flat plate. It is configured so as to substantially match the width of the hooking portion.

  In the first aspect of the invention, since the latch is provided on the main body, the entire weight of the container and the stored product acts on the latch, but the load is received by the main body. Thus, the weight load does not cause the lid portion to be displaced upward with respect to the main body portion. For this reason, the relative shift | offset | difference of a lid side engaging part and a main body side engaging part can be prevented. In addition, the specific lid element is bent, and the free end side region covers the outside of the specific side wall so that the main body side engaging portion and the lid side engaging portion are engaged. Since the free end of the specific lid element exposed to the outside of the container can be hooked and opened with the fingertip, it can be quickly performed.

  In the second invention, when the lid portion is closed, the width of the flat plate latching portion and the dimension in the same direction of the hole provided in the region of the specific lid element are substantially the same. When the side wall (side wall on which the specific lid element is provided) opposite to the side wall tends to be displaced relative to the width direction, the hole wall and the flat plate-like latching portion interfere with each other and are displaced. resist. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the container having a rectangular cross section from being crushed and deformed so as to be displaced in this direction (the cross section is deformed from a rectangle to a parallelogram). The term “substantially agree” is intended to achieve this effect, and does not mean the exact same value, but allows a difference of several millimeters.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
1A and 1B are views showing a first embodiment of a container according to the present invention, in which FIG. 1A is a development view, FIG. 1B is a perspective view of main parts in the middle of assembly, and FIG. FIG. The basic structure of the container has the conventional structure described with reference to FIG. 4, and different structures will be mainly described. The structure not described is the same as in FIG. The material of the container is a transparent plastic material, and can be bent from a single plastic sheet as shown in FIG.

  Side walls 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D are arranged in this order in an area corresponding to the main body portion 10 of the sheet, and a bottom portion 40 for closing the lower end opening of the main body portion is formed at the lower end portion thereof. Four rectangular bottom elements 40A, 40B, 40C, and 40D at the bottom are formed with their adjacent side edges separated so that they can be bent independently. Also, at the upper end portion, the four adjacent rectangular lid elements 20A, 20B, 20C, and 20D of the lid portion 20 that close the upper end opening of the main body portion are separated from each other adjacent side edges so that they can be bent independently. It is formed in the state. The free end side region 20A 'is a part of the (specific) lid element 20A and is a region that overlaps outside the side wall 10C of the main body when closed.

  Unlike the structure described with reference to FIG. 4, the specific lid element 20 </ b> A of the lid portion 20 is not provided with a cut-and-raft type latching portion. The latching portion 30 is integrally connected to the upper end portion of the specific side wall 10C of the main body portion 20, and is actually formed as a cut-and-raised latching portion raised at the bending line portion of the lid element 20C. On the other hand, the specific lid element 20A has an elongated slit-like hole 20H parallel to the folding line at a position corresponding to the folding line portion of the lid element 20C when closed, that is, in the vicinity of the boundary line that is not the free end of the region 20A ′. The latching portion 30 can be extracted upward from this hole.

  From the viewpoint of the first invention, the hole is not limited to the slit-shaped hole, as long as the latching portion can be protruded upward. For example, the hole is cut from the free end of the region 20A ′ of the specific lid element 20A. It is good also as a rectangular opening part opened to the free end side. However, from the viewpoint of the second invention, it is not a hole opened to the free end side of the region 20A ′, but such a slit-shaped hole 20H or a hole 20H ′ in FIG. Must be a square or rectangular hole. In any of the holes 20H and 20H ′, the width of the flat latching portion 30 is the longitudinal side dimension of the slit-like hole 20H, or the flat plate of the flat latching portion 30 within the two sides of the hole 20H ′. The side dimension in the spreading direction of the shape, that is, the hole dimension in each arrow direction in FIGS. For this reason, when trying to deform the container such that the side walls 10A and 10C are relatively displaced in the direction of the arrow, the flat plate latching portion 30 integrated with the specific side wall 10C is integrated with the side wall 10A. It interferes with the hole wall of the specific lid element 20A and prevents its deformation.

  Although the surface fastener is not shown, a surface fastener 20K that is a lid-side engaging portion is provided at the same position as in FIG. 4, that is, on the back surface of the region 20A ′ of the specific lid element 20A. A hook-and-loop fastener 10K of the main body side engaging portion is provided near the upper end of 10C. When replacing the slit-shaped hole 20H with an opening having a rectangular opening on the free end side as described above, the hook-and-loop fastener 20K is divided and disposed at the left and right positions of the rectangular opening, and the hook-and-loop fastener 10K also corresponds. What is necessary is just to divide and arrange | position.

  In the container having the above structure, the free end side region 20A ′ of the specific lid element 20A overlaps the outside of the specific side wall 10C, so that the fingertip can be hooked on the free end of the region 20A ′, and the lid can be quickly opened. It becomes possible. Further, since the latching portion 30 is integrally connected to the upper end portion of the specific side wall 10C of the main body portion 20, the weight load when suspended is caused by the latching member 30 and the main body portion 10 such as the specific side wall. It does not reach the specific lid element 20A. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a weight load from acting on each bonding boundary between the hook-and-loop fasteners 10K and 20K, prevent the relative position from being shifted, and stably hold the bonding position of the hook-and-loop fastener.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment that can be said to be a modification of the first embodiment. The first embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that, in addition to the same latching portion 30, the cut-and-raft type latching portion 32 is provided so as to have a bent portion at the boundary line portion of the region 20 </ b> A ′ of the specific lid element. It is to provide. When assembling the container, after the latching portion 32 is raised, a rectangular hole 20H ′ corresponding to the slit-shaped hole 20H of the first embodiment is formed, and the latching is integrally connected to the upper end portion of the side wall 10C. The two latching portions 30 and 32 are aligned by inserting the portion 30. The hook member can be inserted and suspended in the through holes 30H (32H) aligned in this state, and the strength of the latching portions around the through holes can be improved.

  Also in this embodiment, the lid portion can be quickly opened, and one of the two latching portions 30 and 32 is integrally connected to the vertical specific side wall 10C as an extension of the side wall. Therefore, the weight load when suspended is only acting as a tensile load on the specific side wall 10C, and does not act on the specific lid element 20A. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to apply a load to the specific lid element 20A via the other latching portion 32, the load is transmitted to the one 30 and eventually the load is not applied to the specific lid element 20A. The bonding position of the fastener is stably maintained.

  In the present invention, when the container is suspended, the structure is such that no force acts so as to open the specific lid element. Therefore, in FIG. 3 as a modified example of the second embodiment, the lid side engaging portion is used in the present invention. And the main body side engaging portion exemplifies that the engagement does not have to withstand a strong tensile force such as a hook-and-loop fastener, and shows a third embodiment. A tongue-like engagement portion 20K 'is extended at the free end of the region 20A' of the specific lid element 20A, and a slit-shaped notch or hole 10K 'is provided at the position of the specific side wall 10C corresponding thereto. It is only necessary to insert the tongue-like engagement portion 20K 'into the hole 10K'. The same applies to the structure of the first embodiment.

  In the case of the third embodiment, the container can be formed of a single material (plastic material) without using a material member (surface fastener member) other than the plastic material, and there is no need for separation when discarding the container. Convenient.

  In the above embodiment, the latching portion 30 connected to the upper end portion of the specific side wall 10C where the region 20A ′ of the specific lid element 20A overlaps is essential, and at the time of exhibition, the specific side wall is usually the back side of the container. . For this reason, when hooking and hanging on a hook member protruding from the display wall surface, the hooking member 30 can be displayed close to (in contact with) the wall surface behind the hook member. Therefore, the length of the hook member can be used most efficiently, and many containers can be suspended.

  In the above description, the container has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but from the viewpoint of the first invention, the cross section may be another polygon such as a triangle or a hexagon. In any of the inventions, the constituent material of the container may not be a plastic material, and may be cardboard or the like. Further, the product stored in the container may be other than a fishing rod.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be applied to a container or the like that accommodates a fishing rod and is hooked and hung on a hook member or the like in a store for display.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a first embodiment of a container according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a second embodiment. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a third embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a conventional structure.
