And an abutting portion that abuts rearward.
According to the said structure, since the contact surface part of a leg piece contacts a stationary surface, the contact area with respect to a stationary surface can be increased, and it becomes possible to make a to-be-supported object stand by stably. In addition, when the abutting part comes into contact with the rear side of the supported object, the leg piece is pressed by the supported object, and the support state of the supported object whose contact surface part contacts the stationary surface is stably maintained. can do.

Further, in the configuration having the contact surface portion and the contact portion, the mount has a shape in which at least the lower portion of the mount is inclined rearward by the contact portion contacting the rear of the supported object. preferable. Furthermore, in the said structure, it is preferable to support a to-be-supported object in the state which contacted the stationary surface.
According to the said structure, since a contact part contact | abuts to the back of a to-be-supported object, and at least the mount lower part inclines toward back, the position of the stationary surface which the lower end part of a mount contacts will shift back. Therefore, the length of the support body in the front-rear direction is extended, and the stability in the front-rear direction is improved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the tubular container 100 is composed of a container body 101 filled with contents, a pouring part, and a cap part 102 that can be detachably attached to the pouring part. It is elongated in the direction (longitudinal direction) along the container main body 101 and the cap part 102, and has a longitudinally symmetrical shape and a laterally symmetrical shape. The container main body 101 is formed in a flexible cylindrical hollow shape, a pouring portion is formed at one end portion thereof, and the other end portion is closed in a flat shape by heat welding. The cap part 102 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than that of the container body 101 and reduced in diameter toward the distal end side. In the support 10, the tubular container 100 is supported so that the cap portion 102 faces vertically downward and the longitudinal direction is along the vertical direction.

  Moreover, in the following embodiment, a support body is demonstrated as what supports the tubular container 100 and makes it stand on the stationary surface 200. As shown in FIG. That is, the stationary surface 200 means a surface on which the tubular container 100 supported by the support body is self-supporting. Examples of the stationary surface 200 include a flat surface such as a general product shelf or a table on which products are arranged at a store. Alternatively, it may be a gently curved surface or a surface with some unevenness. The tubular container 100 supported by the support may be in contact with the stationary surface 200 or may be non-contact.

  In this specification, the surface of the mount on which the supported object is held is defined as the front surface, and the terms forward and rear are used with the front surface as a reference. Further, terms such as a front-rear direction that is a direction substantially along the front-rear direction of the support body, a vertical direction that is a direction substantially along the vertical direction, and a width direction or a lateral direction that is a direction substantially orthogonal to the vertical direction are used. Further, the length along the vertical direction and the front-rear direction may be simply referred to as a length, and the length along the width direction or the horizontal direction may be referred to as a width. However, the terms indicating these directions are used to describe the configuration of the support, and do not limit the relationship between the components of the support and the direction. For example, the support according to the present invention may be displayed with the rear surface of the mount facing the front of a product shelf or the like.

In general, the perforation line 18 includes a plurality of minute through holes arranged in a line, and can be formed, for example, in a portion located in front of the tubular container 100. In the example shown in FIG. 1, one perforation line 18 is formed along the vertical direction of the cylindrical body leaving the upper part of the cylindrical body, but may be formed over the entire length of the cylindrical body. A plurality of perforation lines 18 may be formed. Moreover, it is preferable to provide the formation position of the perforation line 18 on the side and rear of the tubular container 100 so as not to hinder the product design and the like.

  Specific examples of the resin film constituting the heat-shrinkable film 11 include polyolefins such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrenes ( PS), and films made of resins such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyamide, and polyvinyl chloride. Of these, polyester-based, polyolefin-based, and polystyrene-based films are preferable, and polyester-based films are particularly preferable because they have appropriate shrinkage stress and high transparency. Moreover, the film containing the resin mixture which mixed 2 or more types of these resin can also be used, and the laminated | multilayer film which laminated | stacked 2 or more types of films can also be used.

  The heat-shrinkable film 11 is a uniaxially stretched film that is stretched in at least one direction in order to develop excellent heat-shrinkage characteristics, and is preferably a film that heat-shrinks in the circumferential direction of the tubular body. It may be a biaxially stretched film that thermally shrinks in the length direction. The heat shrink rate of the heat-shrinkable film 11 is preferably 20 to 80% (immersed in 90 ° C. warm water for 10 seconds), particularly preferably 30 to 80%, with respect to the main stretching direction.

  Although it does not specifically limit as thickness of the heat-shrinkable film 11, It is preferable that it is 10-100 micrometers, More preferably, it is 15-80 micrometers, Especially preferably, it is 20-50 micrometers. Further, as the heat-shrinkable film 11, a colorless and transparent resin film is used so that the printing applied to the tube-like container 100 can be seen. In order to display a colored resin film, a product name, a design, or the like. It is also possible to use a resin film having a printed layer formed thereon.

  The mount 12 is a sheet-like member composed of the mount main body 13 and the leg piece 14 as described above, and holds the tubular container 100 via the heat-shrinkable film 11. It is a member that supports 100 independence. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the folding ruled line 15 and the cutting line 16 are formed on the mount 12 (see FIG. 4), and the mount main body 13 and the leg piece 14 are configured from one mount 12. In order to make the leg piece 14 easier to bend, not only the folding ruled line 15 but also a half cut line, a perforation line, or the like is used as the bent portion formed at the boundary position between the mount body 13 and the leg piece 14. be able to. The cutting line 16 is not particularly limited as long as the mount body 13 and the leg piece 14 can be easily separated. For example, a cutting line, a half-cut line, a perforation line, or the like can be used.

  A specific example of the sheet constituting the mount 12 is not particularly limited, and for example, a resin sheet made of the same resin as the heat-shrinkable film 11 or a sheet mainly made of a paper material can be used. In general, a sheet whose main material is paper is used. Examples of the sheet having a paper material as a main base material include thick paper made only of paper, and synthetic paper obtained by coating various resins with a resin sheet on a paper sheet. Hereinafter, the mount 12 will be described as being composed of a sheet whose main material is paper.

  The thickness of the mount 12 is preferably set in consideration of rigidity and workability, and at least the mount main body 13 and the leg piece 14 are bent or curved at an unintended location due to the weight of the tubular container 100 or the like. The thickness is set to such an extent that the tubular container 100 can be sufficiently supported. The thickness of the mount 12 is somewhat different depending on the sheet constituting it, but for example, a thickness of about 0.2 to 2 mm is preferable, and a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm is more preferable.

  The mount body 13 is a flat sheet having a front surface 19 and a rear surface 20 parallel to each other.

  The adhesive forming the adhering portion 21 is an adhesive that has a strong adhesive strength with the heat-shrinkable film 11, can withstand the load of the tube-like container 100 and the like, and can maintain a long-time adhesive state in the distribution / display process. If it exists, various adhesive agents can be used. Examples of the adhesive include elastomer-based adhesives, thermoplastic resin-based adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, and the like, and hot-melt adhesives that can be applied by heating and have tackiness at room temperature are suitable. The adhesive strength can be adjusted not only by the type of adhesive but also by the adhesive application area and various additives, and can be appropriately adjusted according to the weight of the supported object.

  The mount main body lower end portion 22 is a portion positioned at the lower end of the mount main body 13 in a supported state of the supported object, and is located at the rear of the tubular container 100 bonded to the bonding portion 21 of the front surface 19. This is the part that contacts the placement surface 200. The above-mentioned cut corresponding to the leg piece 14 is formed in the lower part of the mount main body 13 on both sides of the central portion in the width direction, and the lower end 22 of the mount main body is a portion between the cut and the cut Exists on both sides. That is, the mount main body lower end portion 22 is positioned at the center portion in the width direction of the mount body 13 located behind the cap portion 102 and on both sides in the width direction in a state of supporting the supported object. Further, the lower end portion 22 of the mount body has a flat shape (straight shape) having no irregularities that can contact the flat stationary surface 200 without a gap. The lower end portion 22 has a contact area corresponding to the width (W) × the thickness (T) of the mount body 13 with respect to the flat stationary surface 200, and the contact area is adjusted by adjusting W or T. It can be changed as appropriate.

  Although not shown, the front surface 19 and the rear surface 20 of the mount body 13 are generally printed for displaying a product name (a product name filled in the tubular container 100), a design, a product description, and the like. Applied.

  The leg piece 14 is a portion that extends forward from the lower portion of the mount body 13 in contact with the stationary surface 200 in a supported state of the support object, and functions as a front leg of the support 10. Here, the lower part of the mount body 13 is, for example, a lower part than the sticking part 21 of the mount body 13. Moreover, the leg piece 14 is bent so as to extend forward due to the heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 11 as described above. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the leg piece 14 is a triangular piece whose planar shape is triangular, more specifically, the length in the vertical direction is shortened from the root part 24 toward the tip part 25 side. It has the piece lower end part 26 and the junction part 27 shown in FIG.2 and FIG.3.

  The root portion 24 is a root portion that is located at the rear end of the leg piece 14 in a supported state of the supported object. The root portion 24 extends straight from the leg piece lower end portion 26 in contact with the stationary surface 200 along the vertical direction, and the upper end thereof is positioned near the boundary position between the container main body 101 and the cap portion 102. On the other hand, the distal end portion 25 is a portion that is positioned at the front end of the leg piece 14 in a supported state of the supported object, and is positioned in front of the tubular container 100.

  Moreover, the leg piece 14 is provided on both sides of the tubular container 100 so as to sandwich the cap portion 102. Each leg piece 14 is located on the side of the tube-shaped container 100 and does not cover the front of the tube-shaped container 100, and is orthogonal to the front surface 19 of the mount body 13 as shown in FIG. 3. It extends to the front rather than the tubular container 100 along. That is, the two leg pieces 14 are parallel to each other, and the distance between them is set to be the same as the maximum diameter of the cap portion 102.

  The leg piece lower end portion 26 is a portion located at the lower end of the leg piece piece 14 in a supported state of the supported object, and is in contact with the stationary surface 200. The leg piece lower end portion 26 has a flat shape (straight shape) having no irregularities that can contact the flat stationary surface 200 without a gap, like the mount body lower end portion 22. The stationary surface 200 is in contact with the distal end portion 25 from the root portion 24. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the leg piece lower end portion 26 located in the vicinity of the root portion 24 is located behind the tube-like container 100, and the position P2 on the stationary surface 200 corresponding to the center of gravity P1.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a folded state (folded state) of the support 10. The folded form means a form in which the leg piece 14 is not folded forward and the mount body 13 and the leg piece 14 are arranged and folded on the same plane. In FIG. 4, the heat-shrinkable film 11 is in a state before heat shrinkage, and is distinguished from the state after heat shrinkage by adding () to the reference numeral. In addition, the parts that become the mount main body lower end 22 and the leg piece lower end 26 in the supported state are also marked with () to distinguish them from the support form, and the mount main body lower end (22) and legs The end of the mount 12 where the piece lower end (26) is located will be referred to as the lower end of the mount 12.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the heat-shrinkable film (11) has a center seal portion 17, and a sticking portion provided on the front surface 19 of the mount body 13 as a cylindrical body into which the tubular container 100 can be inserted. 21 is attached. The cylindrical body of the heat-shrinkable film (11) has a diameter larger than the maximum diameter of the tubular container 100, and its length is substantially the same as the length of the tubular container 100. The entire tubular container 100 excluding the ends is covered. Further, since the tubular container 100 is supported in a state where the tip of the cap portion 102 does not contact the stationary surface 200, the lower end of the cylindrical body of the heat-shrinkable film (11) is slightly from the lower end of the mount body 13. It sticks to the sticking part 21 so that it may become an upper position.

  The foldable mount 12 has a rectangular planar shape and has two leg pieces 14 which are triangular pieces at the bottom. The mount 12 includes a folding ruled line 15 that extends straight from the lower end of the mount 12 in the vertical direction, and a cutting line 16 that extends upward from the lower end located on the side of the folding ruled line 15 and is connected to the bent ruled line 15. It is formed. In the example shown here, the cutting line 16 has a linear shape and is formed obliquely with respect to the vertical direction of the mount 12. Then, the upper end of the cutting line 16 and the upper end of the folding ruled line 15 are connected, and the triangular leg piece 14 surrounded by the folding ruled line 15 and the cutting line 16 and the mount body 13 which is the other part are attached to the mount 12. It is formed. That is, the cutting line 16 is a line that separates the mount body 13 and the leg piece 14, and the folding ruled line 15 is a line that determines the boundary position between the mount body 13 and the leg piece 14.

  A total of two folding ruled lines 15 and cutting lines 16 corresponding to the two leg pieces 14 are provided. Each folding ruled line 15 is separated by a width corresponding to the diameter of the cap portion 102, and is divided into left and right with the sticking portion 21 as the center, and is formed with an equal length. Further, each cutting line 16 corresponds from the lower end position of the mount 12 where the mount body lower end (22) is left on both left and right sides of the mount body 13, that is, from the lower end position positioned to the side of the corresponding folding ruled line 15. The bent ruled line 15 is formed straight up to the upper end obliquely upward. Note that the inclination directions of the cutting lines 16 are different from each other, the left cutting line 16 is formed obliquely upward to the right, and the right cutting line 16 is formed obliquely upward to the left.

  The leg piece 14 can be appropriately changed in size, shape, position with respect to the mount body 13 and the like by adjusting the length, shape, formation position, and the like of the folding ruled line 15 and the cutting line 16. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, if the length of the folding ruled line 15 is increased, the length of the leg piece 14 is increased in the vertical direction, and the starting point of the cutting line 16 can be moved toward the side edge of the mount 12. For example, the length in the front-rear direction in the support form of the leg piece 14 is increased. The folding ruled line 15 is preferably a linear shape along the vertical direction, but can be set as appropriate according to the shape of the supported object (for example, a square shape), and the cutting line 16 is L-shaped. It may be formed in a shape (see FIG. 8) or an arc shape.

  Next, a procedure for producing a support form of the support 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a side view showing a process of producing a support form from a folded form. FIG. 5A shows a folded form, and FIG. 5C shows a support form.
First, in the folded form shown in FIG. 5A, from the opened upper end or lower end to the inside of the tubular body of the heat-shrinkable film (11) attached to the attaching portion 21 of the mount body 13. The tubular container 100 is inserted. At this time, the tubular container 100 is inserted so that the cap portion 102 is on the leg piece 14 side, and the support 10 in the state shown in FIG. 5B is obtained.

  In addition, in the support body 10 of the state shown in FIG.5 (b), the cylindrical body of a heat-shrinkable film (11) spreads in the front-back direction by insertion of the tube-shaped container 100, and the heat-shrinkable film (11) expanded. The leg piece 14 is bent forward by being pulled. However, the leg piece 14 does not extend to the front of the tubular container 100, and the two leg pieces 14 are in a state of spreading in a C shape toward the front.

  Subsequently, the heat-shrinkable film (11) is heat-shrinked and the tubular container 100 is packaged. As shown in FIG. 4C, the heat-shrinkable film 11 covers the whole except for the tip and the end and is in close contact with the tubular container 100, and the tube 19 is placed on the front surface 19 of the mount body 13 via the heat-shrinkable film 11. The support body 10 in the state where the cylindrical container 100 is stuck is obtained. In addition, the heat shrink process of the heat-shrinkable film 11 can be performed using the hot air tunnel set to predetermined temperature, for example.

  In the packaging process of packaging the tubular container 100 with the heat-shrinkable film (11), the leg piece 14 is pulled by the heat-shrinkable stress of the heat-shrinkable film (11) and bent so as to extend forward. . Specifically, in the packaging process, the leg piece 14 that expands in a U shape comes into contact with the side portion of the cap portion 102 via the heat-shrinkable film 11, and against the front surface 19 of the mount body 13. It is bent at the folding ruled line 15 so as to extend further forward than the tubular container 100 along the orthogonal direction.

  Next, the effect of the support body 10 provided with the said structure is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the support 10 supports the tube-like container 100 packaged with the heat-shrinkable film 11 by attaching it with the attaching part 21 of the mount body 13. The support body 10 includes a mount body lower end portion 22 of the mount body 13 on the stationary surface 200 on the rear side of the tube-shaped container 100 and a leg piece lower end portion 26 of the leg piece 14 on the front side from the rear of the tube-shaped container 100. To the stationary surface 200. That is, even if the mount body 13 functions as the rear leg of the support 10 and the leg piece 14 functions as the front leg of the support 10, and the tubular container 100 is not in contact with the stationary surface 200, Distributes the weight and realizes a stable self-supporting state.

  Further, in the support 10, the leg piece lower end portion 26 near the distal end portion 25 of the leg piece 14 is in contact with the stationary surface 200 in front of the center of gravity corresponding position P <b> 2 of the tubular container 100 and the mount body 13. The lower end 22 of the mount main body also contacts the stationary surface 200 behind the center of gravity corresponding position P2 of the tubular container 100. Furthermore, the leg piece lower end portion 26 and the mount main body lower end portion 22 in the vicinity of the distal end portion 25 are in contact with the stationary surfaces 200 on both sides of the tubular container 100 before and after the tubular container 100. Therefore, even if the support body 10 receives force from either the front-rear direction or the lateral direction, the support body 10 can sufficiently receive the force, and the support body 10 can be prevented from falling down to a high degree.

  Further, the leg piece 14 is located on the side of the tubular container 100 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the front surface 19 of the mount body 13 as shown in FIG. 3 and covers the front of the tubular container 100. It has the same excellent display properties as a blister pack using a plastic case.

  Furthermore, since the leg piece 14 has the joint part 27 to which the heat-shrinkable film 11 is joined on the front surface, the leg piece 14 folded forward is used by utilizing the heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 11. It can be bent so as to extend. According to the support 10, in the process of packaging the tube-shaped container 100 by heat-shrinking the heat-shrinkable film 11, the heat-shrinkable film 11 is heat-shrinkable due to the heat-shrinkable stress that the heat-shrinkable film 11 tends to adhere to the tube-shaped container 100. The leg piece 14 joined to the film 11 can be bent forward along the folding ruled line 15. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain a support form of the support body 10 without separately providing a step of bending the leg piece 14.

  In addition, in the above, in order to hold the tube-like container 100 packaged in the heat-shrinkable film 11 on the front surface 19 of the mount body 13, the sticking portion 21 is illustrated, but the holding means is not limited thereto, For example, the tubular container 100 can be held by forming a notch for hooking the heat-shrinkable film 11 on the mount body 13.

  Here, the modification (10x, 10y, 10z) of the support body 10 is demonstrated using FIGS. In the following, the same components as those of the support 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

A support 10x according to a first modification will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a support form of the support 10x, and FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a folded form of the support 10x.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the support 10x, the mount body 13x of the mount 12x does not have a sticking portion at the center portion in the width direction, and is attached to the left and right sides around the center portion in the width direction. Is different from the mount body 13 of the support 10 in that it has two holding pieces 30 formed on the front surface 19x. In addition, each adhesion part 21x formed in the front surface 19 of the two holding pieces 30 can be formed using the same adhesive agent etc. as the adhesion part 21 of the support body 10. FIG.

  The holding piece 30 is in a supported state of the object to be supported and extends forward in the same manner as the leg piece 14, and the tube-like container 100 is attached via the heat-shrinkable film 11 by the attaching portion 21 x formed on the front surface 19 x thereof. It is the part that wears and holds. Specifically, the holding piece 30 is bent forward and comes into contact with the side portion of the container main body 101 of the tubular container 100 to sandwich the container main body 101 from both the left and right sides. Moreover, since the holding piece 30 is joined to the heat-shrinkable film 11 by the sticking portion 21x, the heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable film 11 from the folded state (see FIG. 7) in the same manner as the leg piece 14x. Is folded forward.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the holding piece 30 is constituted by a part of the mount body 13 x, and when bent forward by heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 11, an opening 33 corresponding to the shape of the holding piece 30. Is formed. Moreover, since the holding piece 30 does not contact the stationary surface 200 unlike the leg piece 14, it does not need to extend further forward than the tube-shaped container 100, and the length in the front-rear direction is a viewpoint of improving display properties, etc. Therefore, it is preferable that the tubular container 100 is as short as possible. In addition, the holding piece 30 having a rectangular shape whose planar shape is long in the vertical direction is illustrated, but the holding piece 30 may have other polygonal shapes (triangular shape, hexagonal shape), semicircular shape, or the like to be supported. It can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the folding mount 12 x includes a base body 13 x including two triangular leg pieces 14 below the two leg pieces 14 and two rectangular holding pieces 30 above each leg piece 14. Have The holding main body 13x is formed with a holding ruled folding ruled line 31 that extends straight along the vertical direction at a position shifted to the side of the folding ruled line 15 of the leg piece 14, and further, the holding ruled folding ruled line 31. A U-shaped holding piece cutting line 32 is formed to connect the upper end and the lower end. A portion surrounded by the holding piece folding ruled line 31 and the holding piece cutting line 32 is the holding piece 30, and a sticking portion 21 x is formed on the front surface 19 of the holding piece 30. In addition, it is preferable that the sticking part 21x of the holding piece 30 and the junction part 27 of the corresponding leg piece 14 are formed in a line shape along the up-down direction. That is, the left joint portion 27 and the left adhesive portion 21x are formed in a row along the vertical direction, and the right joint portion 27 and the right adhesive portion 21x are in a row along the vertical direction. Formed.

  According to the support 10x having the above configuration, in the support form of the supported object, the holding piece 30 which is bent forward at the holding piece folding ruled line 31 and has the sticking portion 21x formed on the front face 19 thereof is the container body 101. Since the tube-shaped container 100 is sandwiched from both sides, it can be stuck and held. Further, since the holding piece 30 is bent forward by utilizing the heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 11, a supporting form of the support 10x can be easily obtained without separately providing a bending step. Moreover, since each sticking part 21x and the junction part 27 of the corresponding leg piece 14 are formed in a line along the up-down direction, for example, for forming the sticking part 21x and the joint part 27 Adhesive application equipment can be shared, and good continuous productivity can be realized.

Next, the support body 10y of a 2nd modification is demonstrated using FIGS. 8-10. 8 is a perspective view showing a support form of the support 10y, FIG. 9 is a bottom view of FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a plan view showing a folded form of the support 10y.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the support 10y, the mount 12y is composed of a mount body 13y having a sticking portion 21 and leg pieces 14y as compared to the mount 12 of the support 10. Although it is common in the point, it is different in that the tubular container 100 is held on the leg piece 14y. Further, due to the difference in the configuration, the heat-shrinkable film 11y extends below the cap portion 102 of the tubular container 100, and its lower end is joined to the joint portion 27y of the leg piece 14y as shown in FIG. It has the structure made.

  The leg piece 14y is bent so as to extend further forward than the center of gravity corresponding position P2 of 100 due to the thermal contraction of the heat-shrinkable film 11 in a supported state of the supported object, and the leg piece lower end portion 26y is the stationary surface 200. In common with the leg piece 14 of the support 10 in that it functions as a front leg of the support 10y. On the other hand, the two leg pieces 14y are different from the leg pieces 14 of the support 10 in that the tubular container 100 does not exist between them and the mounting portion 34 is provided.

  The mounting portion 34 is a portion on which the tubular container 100 is placed and the bottom surface thereof (the tip of the cap portion 102) is in contact with the supported object. The mounting portion 34 has a straight shape without unevenness so that the tube-like container 100 can be easily placed, and the planar shape of the leg piece 14y can also be a long rectangular shape in the front-rear direction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the two leg pieces 14 y are designed such that the distance between the respective root portions 24 y is smaller than the diameter of the cap portion 102. Each leg piece 14y is bent forward so as to approach each other due to thermal contraction of the heat-shrinkable film 11, and in the support state of the supported object, the leg-shaped piece 14y has a C-shape with a space narrowed toward the front. It becomes a form. In addition, since the lower end of the heat-shrinkable film 11 extends downward from the tip of the cap portion 102, the heat-shrinking stress acts strongly, and the shape is reduced in diameter to be smaller than the diameter of the cap portion 102.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the folding mount 12y has two rectangular leg pieces 14y at the bottom. A folding ruled line 15y extending straight from the lower end of the mount 12y is formed on the mount 12y, and a lower end positioned on the side of the bent ruled line 15 leaving the mount main body lower end 22y on both sides of the mount body 13y. From the position, a cutting line 16y cut into an L shape so that the leg piece 14y has a rectangular shape is formed. A portion surrounded by the folding ruled line 15y and the cutting line 16y is a leg piece 14y, and a joint 27y is formed on the front surface of the leg piece 14y.

  According to the support 10y having the above-described configuration, the leg piece 14y can be bent forward by utilizing the heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 11y, and the tube-like container 100 is attached to the leg as in the support 10.

The lower end portion 22 has a contact area corresponding to width (W) × thickness (T) with respect to the flat stationary surface 200, and the contact area is appropriately changed by adjusting W or T. Can do.

  Although not shown, the front surface 57 and the rear surface 58 of the mount body 53 are generally printed for displaying a product name (a product name filled in the tubular container 100), a design, a product description, and the like. Applied.

  The leg piece 54 is a portion that extends forward from the lower portion of the mount body 53 in contact with the stationary surface 200 in a supported state of the support object, and is attached to the center portion of the support body 50 in the width direction. 59 is provided along the vertical direction. Here, the lower portion of the mount main body 53 is, for example, a portion below the sticking portion 59 of the mount main body 53 and includes at least the lower end portion 60. The leg piece 54 is a piece that extends forward from the lower portion of the mount main body 53 and has a portion that extends forward and is bent upward, and includes a contact surface portion 62 and a contact portion 63.

  Further, unlike the leg piece 14 of the support 10, the leg piece 54 does not extend to the front of the tubular container 100 and is positioned behind the tubular container 100. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the cap portion 102 of the tubular container 100 is supported in contact with the stationary surface 200, and the cap portion 102 contacts the stationary surface 200 positioned in front of the leg piece 54. Yes. That is, the support body 50 has a configuration using the cap portion 102 as a front leg.

  The contact surface portion 62 is a portion that comes into contact with the stationary surface 200 positioned between the mount body 53 and the tubular container 100 in a supported state of the supported object. The contact surface portion 62 comes into contact with the stationary surface 200 from the root that is the connection portion (boundary position) to the mount body 53 to the tip that is the connection portion (boundary position) to the contact portion 63, so that the support 50 is stationary. Increase the contact area to the surface 200. That is, the contact surface portion 62 is a portion having a flat surface that comes into contact with the stationary surface 200 located behind the tubular container 100.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 12, the contact surface portion 62 has a width equivalent to the diameter of the cap portion 102, and the planar shape thereof has a rectangular shape that is slightly longer in the width direction. The width and length of the contact surface portion 62 can be changed as appropriate. For example, if the length is increased, the contact area with respect to the stationary surface 200 is increased. The angle increases. In addition, the shape of the contact surface portion 62 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be various shapes such as a trapezoidal shape having a taper toward the front or the rear and a wide shape having a width larger than the diameter of the cap portion 102. Can do.

  The contact portion 63 is a portion that extends upward from the tip of the contact surface portion 62 and is in contact with the rear side of the tubular container 100 in a supported state of the supported object, and the contact surface portion 62 contacts the stationary surface 200. It has a function of stably maintaining the support form of the supported object. The abutting portion 63 is inserted between the heat-shrinkable film 51 and the tubular container 100 and abuts so as to be pressed against the rear of the tubular container 100 by the heat-shrinkable film 51 in particular.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12, the contact part 63 is a connection part with the contact surface part 62, and has a root part which becomes a lower end in the support state of the supported object, and a tip part which becomes the upper end in the support state of the supported object. The cap portion 102 and the container main body 101 are in contact with each other, and the planar shape thereof has a rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction. The length of the abutting portion 63 can be changed as appropriate. For example, if the length is long, the abutting area with respect to the tubular container 100 is increased, and the support form of the leg piece 54 is easily maintained. The width of the contact portion 63 can also be changed as appropriate within a range that can be inserted into the cylindrical body of the heat-shrinkable film 51, but is hidden behind the cap portion 102 shorter than the diameter of the cap portion 102 from the viewpoint of design and the like (for example, The contact portion 63 is preferably provided at the boundary position (position having a step) between the cap portion 102 and the container main body 101). Further, the shape of the contact portion 63 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be various shapes such as a trapezoidal shape having a taper upward or downward, a semicircular shape, and a triangular shape.

Here, with reference to FIG. 13 in particular, the shape in which the mount body 53 is inclined rearward toward the lower end 60 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, the mount body 53 has a flat sheet shape without being bent or bent in the middle portion, and has a shape that is inclined backward toward the lower end portion 60 as a whole. ing. Therefore, the lower end portion 60 of the mount main body 53 is shifted backward as compared with the shape extending straight along the vertical direction, and the length from the lower end portion 60 located at the rear end of the support 50 to the front of the cap portion 102 is long. The shape is extended.

  The inclined shape of the mount main body 53 is formed due to a structure in which the contact portion 63 of the leg piece 54 contacts the rear of the tubular container 100. That is, the abutting portion 63 is pushed rearward by the tubular container 100, and this force is transmitted to the mount main body 53 via the contact surface portion 62 extending in the front-rear direction, and the lower end portion 60 of the mount main body 53 is moved backward. It is a mechanism that tilts to shift to. Further, in the support form of the support body 50 exemplified here, the rear portion of the container body 101 is curved upward and is gradually reduced in diameter, so that the upper portion of the mount body 53 extends along the container body 101. It has an inclined shape that is inclined and maintains a flat state as a whole.

  Next, the structure of the support body 10 is further demonstrated using FIG.

  FIG. 14 is a plan view showing a folded form (folded state) of the support body 50. The folded form means a form in which the leg piece 54 is not folded forward and the mount body 53 and the leg piece 54 are arranged and folded on the same plane. In FIG. 14, the heat-shrinkable film 51 is in a state before heat shrinkage, and is distinguished from the state after heat shrinkage by adding () to the reference numeral.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the heat-shrinkable film (51) has a center seal portion 55, and a sticking portion provided on the front surface 57 of the mount body 53 as a cylindrical body into which the tubular container 100 can be inserted. 59 is attached. The cylindrical body of the heat-shrinkable film (51) has a diameter larger than the maximum diameter of the tubular container 100, and its length is substantially the same as the length of the tubular container 100. The entire tubular container 100 excluding the ends is covered. Further, the heat shrinkable film (51) is stuck to the sticking part 59 so that the lower end of the cylindrical body coincides with the lower end of the mount body 53.

  The mount 52 has a shape in which the planar shape is a substantially rectangular shape, and an extension portion extending in the longitudinal direction from the center portion of one end of the rectangular shape in the longitudinal direction is formed. . The extending portion is the leg piece 54, and the rectangular shape portion excluding the extending portion is the mount body 53. And the one end in which the extension part which is the leg piece 54 is formed is the lower end part 60 which contacts the stationary surface 200 in a support form.

  The leg piece 54 is formed with a leg piece first bent ruled line 64 a and a leg piece second bent ruled line 64 b at a boundary position with the base body 53, which is the base part, and in the middle of the leg piece 54, respectively. ing. The portion sandwiched between the leg piece first bent ruled line 64a and the leg piece second bent ruled line 64b is the contact surface part 62, and the tip side of the leg piece second bent ruled line 64b is the contact part 63. Then, the leg piece 54 is entirely bent forward at the leg piece first folding ruled line 64a and the contact part 63 is bent upward at the leg piece second bent ruled line 64b in the support state of the supported object. . The leg piece first bent ruled line 64a is formed along the lower end portion (60) of the mount body 53, and the leg piece second bent ruled line 64b is formed in parallel with the leg piece first bent ruled line 64a. ing. The length of the contact surface part 62 or the ratio of the lengths of the contact surface part 62 and the contact part 63 can be appropriately changed by adjusting the formation position of the leg piece second folding ruled line 64b.

  Next, a procedure for producing a support form of the support 50 will be exemplified.

  First, the leg piece first folding ruled line 64a and the leg piece second bent ruled line 64b are formed inside the cylindrical body of the heat-shrinkable film (59) stuck to the sticking part 59 of the mount body 53. The leg piece 54 bent forward is inserted. Note that the angle formed between the contact surface portion 62 of the leg piece 54 and the mount body 53 and the angle formed between the contact surface portion 62 and the contact portion 63 are each bent at a right angle or smaller than the right angle. Next, the tubular container 100 is inserted so that the cap portion 102 is on the leg piece 14 side from the opened upper end or lower end of the cylindrical body. At this time, the contact portion 63 of the leg piece 54 is in contact with the rear side of the tubular container 100. In addition, the contact part 63 may contact | abut the back of the tubular container 100 by heat shrink of a heat-shrinkable film (51).

  Subsequently, the heat-shrinkable film (51) is heat-shrinked, and the tubular container 100 is packaged. The heat-shrinkable film 51 is in close contact with the tubular container 100 so as to cover the whole except for the tip and end, and the tubular container 100 is attached to the front surface 57 of the mount body 53 via the heat-shrinkable film 57. A support 50 is obtained. In addition, the heat shrink process of the heat-shrinkable film 11 can be performed using the hot air tunnel set to predetermined temperature, for example.

  Next, the effect of the support body 50 provided with the said structure is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the support 50 can hold the tubular container 100 packaged with the heat-shrinkable film 51 by attaching it with the attaching part 59 of the mount body 53. And in the support body 50, the lower end part 60 of the base_sheet | mounting_body body 53 and the contact surface part 62 of the leg piece 54 contact the stationary surface 200, and the stable self-supporting of the tubular container 100 is enabled. That is, the contact area with respect to the stationary surface 200 can be increased by the contact surface portion 62 of the leg piece 54 contacting the stationary surface 200. In addition, in the example shown here, the cap part 102 of the tubular container 100 is supported by the support body 50 in the state which contacted the stationary surface 200. FIG.

  Moreover, in the support body 50, when the contact part 63 contacts the back of the tube-shaped container 100 which is a to-be-supported object, the leg piece 54 will be pressed by the to-be-supported object, and the leg piece 54 will become a tube. The support state in which the contact surface portion 62 contacts the stationary surface 200 can be stably maintained without coming out from the rear of the container 100. Furthermore, when the contact portion 63 contacts the rear side of the tubular container 100, the mount body 53 is pushed rearward by the tube-shaped container 100, and the position of the stationary surface 200 where the lower end 60 contacts is rearward. The mount body 53 tilts backward so as to shift to. Therefore, the length from the lower end part 60 located in the rear end of the support body 50 to the front of the cap part 102 extends, and stability in the front-rear direction is improved.

  Moreover, in the support body 50, since the leg piece 14 is located behind the tube-shaped container 100 and does not cover the front of the tube-shaped container 100, the same excellent display property as a blister pack using a plastic case is provided. Prepare.
