  The container of Patent Document 1 is a general bottle container having an advantage that the contents can be used and stored halfway because the lid is detachable, but both the container body and the lid body are blow molded. Alternatively, there is a manufacturing complexity of having to adopt injection molding or the like, and it becomes relatively expensive as a disposable simple container.

  The lid for a beverage cup of Patent Document 2 is used by being attached to a cup-shaped container body having an upper end opened or attached to a cup-shaped container body having a lid plate fixed to the top surface. Requires a complicated structure to obtain the liquid tightness of the fitting part of the container body and the lid for the cup and the mouth hole, and in the latter case, the cup lid is removed one by one when drinking. There is an inconvenience in use that must be done. In addition, such beverage cup lids have the advantage of being able to enhance stack compatibility, dust proofing, and volume of appearance, but on the other hand, they are often not needed when actually drinking. The cover element is high. In recent years, due to the trend of society that emphasizes environmental considerations and resource saving is desired, it is necessary to reduce extra containers and packages as much as possible.

  The present invention is proposed as an alternative that can save resources and reduce cover, and can be used to prevent dust, etc., and eliminates unnecessary members as much as possible to place importance on functionality, and when drinking contents. We propose a beverage container that maintains cleanliness and is easy to handle.

  The first means is configured as follows. That is, a cup-shaped container main body A and a flat plate-like structure configured such that a peripheral edge is fixed to the top surface of the container main body A to close the upper end opening of the container main body A and at least a part can be pressed and punched by the straw D. A beverage container provided with a lid plate B, which has a cover projection 20 projecting outward from the edge of the lid plate B, and the folded cover projection 20 covers a portion of the lid plate B where a straw hole is to be drilled. And it was comprised as the drink container characterized by adhering to the cover plate B so that removal was possible.

  The second means is configured as follows. That is, in the first means, the entire lid plate B is configured to be capable of being pressed and punched by the straw D, and is configured as a beverage container in which the mark 21 is provided at the planned portion of the lid plate B where the straw is to be drilled.

  The third means was configured as follows. That is, in the first means, the drinking hole is configured such that the straw hole drilling scheduled portion is the slit 22 provided in the lid plate B.

  The fourth means is configured as follows. That is, in the first means, the drinking hole container in which the straw hole is to be drilled is formed by covering the back surface of the straw hole 23 formed in the lid plate B with the thin layer 24 that can be pressed and broken by the straw D. Configured as.

  The fifth means is configured as follows. That is, in any one of the first to fourth means, a beverage container is configured in which a straw storage bag C storing a straw D is removably secured to the peripheral surface of the container body A.

  The beverage container of the present invention has a cover projection piece 20 protruding outward from the edge of the lid plate B, and the folded cover projection piece 20 is covered with a straw hole perforated portion of the lid plate B on the lid plate B. Because it is detachably fixed to the body, it is hygienic without dust or the like adhering to the portion where the straw hole 23 is perforated, and does not require a complicated shaped member such as a lid for a beverage cup. Since the cover plate and the cover plate can be formed by sheet molding, it is possible to eliminate the complication of manufacturing, and it is easy to manufacture at a low cost and is extremely suitable for a disposable container.

  When the cover plate B is configured so that the entire punching plate B can be pressed and punched by the straw D, and the mark 21 is provided in the straw punching planned portion of the cover plate B, when the straw hole 23 is punched in the cover plate B by the straw D at the time of use. Therefore, it is possible to surely prevent the inconvenience that a portion other than that is easily perforated without selecting a planned straw hole perforation planned area.

  When the straw hole drilling scheduled portion is the slit 22 provided in the cover plate B, the straw D can be easily drilled, and there is an advantage that the straw D can be easily drilled without forming the straw D sharply. In addition, there is an advantage that a straw hole drilling scheduled site can be easily specified without a mark.

  If the straw hole drilling site is configured by covering the straw hole 23 drilled in the cover plate B with a thin layer 24 that can be pressed and broken by the straw, the straw hole will be drilled even if there is no mark. There is an advantage that the portion can be easily specified, and the straw hole 23 can be used as a guide hole of the straw D before the thin layer 24 is broken, and there is also an advantage that drilling is easier.

  Moreover, when the straw storage bag C which accommodated the straw D in the container main body A surrounding surface is detachably fixed, there is no possibility of losing the straw D, and the straw D can be used immediately at the time of use.

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

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a beverage container, and the beverage container 1 includes a container body A, a lid plate B, a straw storage bag C, and a straw D.

  The container main body A has a cup shape in which the peripheral wall 11 is erected from the peripheral edge of the bottom wall 10 and the flange 12 is extended outward from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall 11, and is formed of synthetic resin.

  After the container body A is filled with the contents, the lid B is fixed to the upper surface of the flange 12 which is the top surface of the container body A to close the upper end opening of the container body A. Also, a cover protrusion 20 is projected outward from a part of the edge, and the folded cover protrusion 20 is fixed to the cover plate B so as to be detachable, covering the planned position for punching the straw hole in the cover plate B. ing. As a means for fixing the lid plate B to the container body A or a means for fixing the cover projecting piece 20 to the lid plate, appropriate fixing means such as welding can be employed. In particular, the cover projecting piece 20 is preferably fixed by using a spot welding fixing means for the peripheral edge so as to be easily peeled off. Further, the shape of the cover protrusion 20 is not particularly limited, and may be a triangular shape as shown in the figure, or other circular, polygonal, or indefinite shape, but at least when it is folded, a straw hole perforated portion The size to coat the is required. Of course, it is possible to provide a hinge at the bent portion.

  As the cover plate B, a film or sheet made of a material such as paper or synthetic resin can be used alone or a laminate, and if necessary, a laminate of metal thin film layers can be used. However, a material having strength capable of being pressed and broken by the straw D made of synthetic resin is used. These strengths can be adopted, for example, by selecting a material, selecting a thickness, or combining them. The container body A and the cover plate B can be formed by sheet molding. However, the molding method is not limited to this.

  Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 2, a circular mark 21 applied by printing is provided on a planned portion for punching a straw hole. The position of the straw hole to be drilled can be specified by the presence of the cover projecting piece 20, but the provision of the mark 21 makes it clearer and facilitates drilling. In this case, the mark 21 is not limited to the shape of the enclosed line having the substantially same outer diameter as the straw D in this case, but may be a solid coating applied by printing the same part as the straw D, or the diameter around the planned portion of the straw hole drilling. Enclosed lines that enclose large parts or solid paint may be applied.

  The straw storage bag C is made of a synthetic resin, stores the straw D therein, and is detachably fixed to the peripheral surface of the container main body A. Adhering the straw containing bag C to the container main body A can be performed by using appropriate adhering means such as adhesion and fusion, but it is preferable to avoid excessively adhering in consideration of removal. In this case, spot fusion is performed at the edge of the straw storage bag C, but the invention is not limited to this.

  A straw having a size shorter than the length of the container main body A and capable of being stored in the straw storage bag C can be used, and a straw having a known structure that can be extended in use can be used. Further, the tip is cut obliquely when the straw hole 23 is perforated. In addition, it is not limited to the case where the straw D accommodated in the straw accommodating bag C is detachably fixed to the container main body A, and a form in which the straw D is separately prepared may be used.

  When using the beverage container configured as described above, for example, the straw storage bag C is removed from the state shown in FIG. Since the straw storage bag C is fixed by spot welding, it can be easily removed. Next, after the straw D is taken out from the straw storage bag C and stretched, the sharp portion at the tip is brought into contact with the mark 21 portion, pressed and broken, and the contents can be sucked.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lid plate B is not limited to the case where the lid plate B is configured to be capable of being pressed and punched by the straw D, and the portion of the lid plate B is specified. The provided slit 22 may be configured as a straw hole drilling scheduled site. In this case, the cover plate B other than the slit 22 portion may not be able to be pressed and punched by the straw D, but it is preferable that the cover plate B is selected from a relatively elastic material. Other configurations in this case are the same as those in the example of FIG. Further, the form of the slit 22 is not limited to a cross shape as shown in the figure, and a plurality of radial slits can be preferably employed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the back surface of the straw hole 23 formed in the lid plate B is covered with a thin layer 24 that can be pressed and broken by the straw D as a straw hole perforation portion of the lid plate B. Also good. In this case, as the thin layer 24, paper, a synthetic resin film or the like can be adopted. The thin layer 24 can be fixed to the cover plate B by adhesion, fusion, or the like. Also in this case, the lid plate B other than the straw hole 23 portion may be configured so as not to be able to be pressed by the straw D (for example, thick). Other configurations are the same as those in the example of FIG.
