  As described above, a plurality of naturally-generated articles NBG such as strawberries are stored in a pile in the colorless and transparent article-containing container 100 and sealed with the colorless and transparent sealing film 200. A large amount of beautiful display can promote consumers' willingness to purchase.

  In addition, since naturally produced articles NBG such as strawberries are generally soft, the sealing film 200 is stretched around the article storage container 100 so as not to press the naturally produced article NBG. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 30, the third container end 130 and the fourth container end 140 of the article storage container 100, and the third film edge 230 and the fourth film edge 240 of the sealing film 200 are They face each other through a trapezoidal gap.

  However, as described above, the sealing film 200 is flexible although it has low stretchability, and the naturally-generated article NBG such as strawberry is heavy. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 32, when the article storage container 100 that contains a plurality of naturally generated articles NBG and is sealed with the sealing film 200 is tilted in the front-rear direction, due to the weight of the naturally generated articles NBG, The gap between the third container end 130 and the third film edge 230 may be enlarged. In this case, as shown in the figure, the naturally produced article NBG may fall out from the gap between the third container end portion 130 and the third film edge portion 230.

  In order to prevent this, in some stores and the like, as shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, the third container end 130 and the fourth container end 140 of the article container 100 and the third of the sealing film 200 are used. An adhesive tape 260 is attached to the film edge 230 and the fourth film edge 240. However, this requires an operation of manually sticking the adhesive tape 260 in the store, which is complicated and increases human costs.

  In particular, in the case of cherry tomatoes, which are naturally-produced articles NBG, which are particularly heavy, in order to prevent the dropout as described above, the third container end 130 and the fourth container end 140 of the article storage container 100 are sealed from the beginning. An adhesive tape 260 is attached to the third film edge 230 and the fourth film edge 240 of the stop film 200.

  However, since the vertical widths of the outer surfaces 133 and 143 of the third container end 130 and the fourth container end 140 of the article storage container 100 to which the adhesive tape 260 is attached are not sufficient, the adhesive tape 260 can be easily and reliably secured. It is difficult to stick to.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the above subjects, and even if it inclines the articles | goods storage container which accommodated the several naturally produced | generated articles and was sealed with the sealing film, without requiring an adhesive tape. Even when sticking an adhesive tape to prevent a naturally-generated article from falling off and to prevent a naturally-occurring article that is particularly heavy from falling off, the adhesive tape can be easily and securely attached. An object container is provided.

  In order to solve the problems as described above, the article storage container of the present invention is an article storage container that contains a plurality of naturally generated articles having non-uniform outer shapes and dimensions and is sealed with a sealing film. A container main body having an upper surface opening for containing a naturally-generated article, and a first film edge and a second film edge on both sides of the sealing film, which are formed at opposite positions of the opening portion of the container main body. The first container end and the second container end adhered to the container, and the storage container individually opposed to the third film edge and the fourth film edge in the stretching direction of the adhered sealing film A third container end and a fourth container end are formed in the opening of the main body and project upward from the first container end and the second container end.

  Therefore, in this article storage container, the storage container main body is formed in the upper surface opening and stores the naturally generated article. The first container end and the second container end are formed at opposite positions of the opening portion of the container body, and the first film edge and the second film edge on both sides of the sealing film are individually attached. Worn.

  The third container end part and the fourth container end part are formed at the opening part of the container main body individually facing the third film edge part and the fourth film edge part in the stretching direction of the stuck sealing film. And protrudes upward from the first container end and the second container end.

  For this reason, in the article storage container of the present invention, when a plurality of naturally produced articles such as strawberries are housed in a heap and sealed so as not to be compressed with the sealing film, the third film edge of the sealing film A part and a 4th film edge are stretched | stretched in the state visually recognized by trapezoid shape from the direction of a 3rd container edge part and a 4th container edge part.

  However, the third container end and the fourth container end facing the third film edge and the fourth film edge of the sealing film stretched in this trapezoidal shape are the first container end and the first container end, respectively. Projecting upward from the ends of the two containers.

  However, the third container end and the fourth container end facing the third film edge and the fourth film edge of the sealing film stretched in this trapezoidal shape are the first container end and the first container end, respectively. Projecting upward from the ends of the two containers.

  For this reason, for example, even if an article storage container containing a plurality of naturally generated articles and sealed with a sealing film is inclined in the front-rear direction, the third film edge or the fourth The gap between the film edge and the third container end or the fourth container end does not allow the naturally produced article to pass through.

  Therefore, even if the article storage container containing a plurality of naturally generated articles and sealed with the sealing film is inclined in the front-rear direction, the third film edge or the fourth film edge and the third container end or the fourth It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the naturally generated article from falling off from the gap with the container end.

  For this reason, in order to prevent such a naturally generated article from falling off, the third container end and the fourth container end of the article storage container, the third film edge and the fourth film edge of the sealing film, In addition, a complicated operation of attaching the adhesive tape is not necessary, and an increase in human cost due to such an operation can be prevented.

  In addition, in the case of cherry tomatoes and the like that are particularly naturally-produced articles having a heavy weight, the third container end and the fourth container end of the article storage container from the beginning, Adhesive tape is stuck to the third film edge and the fourth film edge.

  On the other hand, in this article storage container, since the third container end and the fourth container end protrude upward, the vertical width of the outer surface is sufficiently secured. For this reason, even when sticking an adhesive tape to the 3rd container edge part and 4th container edge part of an article storage container, and the 3rd film edge part and 4th film edge part of a sealing film as mentioned above. The adhesive tape can be easily and reliably attached.

  In the article storage container as described above, in the present invention, the boundary portions of the inner surface and the upper surface of the third container end and the fourth container end that are continuous inside the storage container main body are smoothly continuous. Therefore, for example, when an article storage container that contains a plurality of naturally generated articles and is sealed with a sealing film is tilted in the front-rear direction, the naturally generated article is provided at the third container end or the fourth container end. It abuts on a smoothly continuous boundary between the inner surface and the upper surface. For this reason, it is possible to prevent damage to flexible naturally generated articles such as strawberries while the third container end and the fourth container end protrude upward to prevent falling.

  In the article storage container as described above, in the present invention, even when the article storage container is placed upside down and stacked in the manufacturing process, the third container end portion which becomes the lower surface protruding in such a state, and Since the upper surface of the fourth container end is flat, it can be stably placed and stacked.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 are formed in a trapezoidal front shape. From 342 to the corner portion of the rectangular planar container body 150, it is formed of convex and concave rounds that are smoothly continuous.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, boundary portions between the inner surfaces 331 and 341 and the upper surfaces 332 and 342 of the third container end portion 330 and the fourth container end portion 340 are formed with convex curves that are smoothly curved. However, the upper surfaces 332 and 342 of the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 are formed in a planar shape.

  The article storage container 300 of the present embodiment is also formed of ultra-thin, colorless, transparent, soft PET, etc., but as described above, the first container end 110, the second container end 120, and the third container end Since the portion 330 and the fourth container end 340 are continuous in an annular shape that goes around the outside of the opening 158 of the container main body 150 with a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, sufficient strength is ensured.

  Further, the article storage container 300 of the present embodiment also has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 156 formed from the four side portions 151 to 154 to the bottom portion 155 of the storage container main body 150, and the bottom portion 155 also has a double rectangular shape. An annular reinforcing rib 157 is formed.

  For this reason, the article storage container 300 is formed of ultra-thin, colorless, transparent, and soft PET as described above, but has sufficient strength to accommodate and hold a plurality of naturally-generated articles NBG such as heavy strawberries. Has been.

  In the above-described configuration, when a naturally-generated article NBG such as a strawberry is stored in the article storage container 300 of the present embodiment, a plurality of openings 158 are provided in the storage container main body 150 as shown in FIGS. Three naturally generated articles NBG are accommodated in the front-rear direction, five in the left-right direction, two in the up-down direction, and the like.

  At this time, in order to improve the consumer's willingness to purchase, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 and the like, the plurality of naturally-generated articles NBG in the upper stage are projected upward from the opening portion 158 of the article container 300. To.

  In such a state, in order to seal the plurality of naturally generated articles NBG stored in the article storage container 300, the sealing film 200 is attached to the opening portion 158 as shown in FIGS. The sealing film 200 is made of a resin such as OPP that is colorless and transparent and flexible but has low stretchability. An adhesive double-sided tape 250 is attached to the lower surfaces of both left and right ends.

  The sealing film 200 is formed in a substantially rectangular planar shape, which is a rectangle whose front-rear direction is substantially the same width as the article storage container 100 and whose left-right direction is longer than the article storage container 100. Therefore, the sealing film 200 includes a first film edge 210 that is a left edge, a second film edge 220 that is a right edge, a third film edge 230 that is a front edge, and a rear edge. A fourth film edge 240 is provided as four sides.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first film edge 210 of the sealing film 200 is attached to the first container end 110 of the article storage container 300 with a double-sided tape 250, and the second film edge 220 is The double-sided tape 250 is attached to the second container end 120.

  By sticking in this way, the third film edge 230 of the sealing film 200 faces the third container end 330 of the article container 300, and the fourth film edge 240 is the fourth container end. Opposite the part 340.

  As a result, the plurality of naturally generated articles NBG stored in the article storage container 300 are sealed by the sealing film 200. In this way, a plurality of naturally generated articles NBG such as strawberries are stored in a pile in the colorless and transparent article storage container 300 and sealed with the colorless and transparent sealing film 200, so that a large amount of the stored plurality of naturally generated articles NBG is contained. It can be displayed beautifully to encourage consumers to purchase.

  In addition, since naturally produced articles NBG such as strawberries are generally soft, the sealing film 200 is stretched around the article storage container 300 so as not to press the naturally produced article NBG. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11, the sealing film 200 is stretched in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front-rear direction.

  As described above, the sealing film 200 is flexible although it has low stretchability, and the naturally-generated article NBG such as strawberry is heavy. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, when the article storage container 300 that contains a plurality of naturally-generated articles NBG and is sealed with the sealing film 200 is tilted in the front-rear direction, the weight of the naturally-generated article NBG is increased. The three film edge 230 may be pushed up.

  However, in the article storage container 300 according to the present embodiment, the third container end 330 facing the third film edge 230 protrudes upward in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front-rear direction. Similarly, the fourth container end 340 facing the fourth film edge 240 also protrudes upward in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front-rear direction.

  For this reason, even if the article storage container 300 that contains a plurality of naturally-generated articles NBG and is sealed with the sealing film 200 is tilted in the front-rear direction, the third film edge portion 230 is used due to the weight of the naturally-generated articles NBG. Alternatively, the gap between the fourth film edge 240 and the third container end 330 or the fourth container end 340 does not allow the naturally produced article NBG to pass through.

  Therefore, even if the article storage container 300 containing a plurality of naturally-generated articles NBG and sealed with the sealing film 200 is inclined in the front-rear direction, the third film edge 230 or the fourth film edge 240 and the third container It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the naturally generated article NBG from dropping out from the gap with the end 330 or the fourth container end 340.

  Therefore, in order to prevent such a naturally-generated article NBG from falling off, the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 of the article storage container 300, the third film edge 230 of the sealing film 200, and The complicated work of sticking the adhesive tape to the fourth film edge 240 is not necessary, and an increase in human cost due to such work can be prevented.

  In addition, in the case of cherry tomatoes and the like which are naturally generated articles NBG that are particularly heavy, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the third container end portion 330 of the article storage container 300 from the beginning as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15. And the adhesive tape 260 is stuck to the 4th container edge part 340, the 3rd film edge part 230 of the sealing film 200, and the 4th film edge part 240. FIG.

  On the other hand, in the article storage container 300 of the present embodiment, since the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 protrude upward, the vertical widths of the outer surfaces 333 and 343 are sufficiently secured.

  Therefore, as described above, the adhesive tape is applied to the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 of the article storage container 300 and the third film edge 230 and the fourth film edge 240 of the sealing film 200. Even when 260 is attached, the adhesive tape 260 can be easily and reliably attached.

  Moreover, in the article storage container 300 according to the present embodiment, the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 are formed in a shape in which the boundary portions of the inner surfaces 331 and 341 and the upper surfaces 332 and 342 are smoothly curved. Yes.

  Therefore, when the article storage container 300 containing a plurality of naturally generated articles NBG and sealed with the sealing film 200 is tilted in the front-rear direction, the naturally generated article NBG becomes the third container end 330 or the fourth container. The end portion 340 is in contact with the smoothly continuous boundary portions of the inner surfaces 331 and 341 and the upper surfaces 332 and 342.

  For this reason, it is possible to prevent damage to the flexible naturally generated product NBG such as strawberry while the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 protrude upward to prevent the fall.

  Furthermore, in the article storage container 300 of the present embodiment, the upper surfaces 332 and 342 of the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 are formed in a planar shape. Accordingly, even when the article storage container 300 is placed upside down and stacked in the manufacturing process, the upper surfaces 332 and 342 of the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 which are the lower surfaces in such a state are provided. Since it is flat, it can be placed and stacked stably.

  Moreover, in the article storage container 300 of the present embodiment, the storage container body 150 is formed in a rectangular planar shape having a pair of opposed long sides and a pair of opposed short sides, and the first container end portion. 110 and the second container end 120 are individually formed on a pair of long sides of the container main body 150, and the third container end 330 and the fourth container end 340 are a pair of short sides of the container main body 150. It is formed individually on the side.

  Therefore, the sealing film 200 in which the first film edge portion 210 and the second film edge portion 220 are attached to the first container end portion 110 and the second container end portion 120 of the storage container body 150 is the storage container body 150. It is stretched in the short side direction.

  For this reason, the gap between the third film edge 230 and the fourth film edge 240 of the sealing film 200 and the third container edge 330 and the fourth container edge 340 is inevitably minimized, and the naturally produced article NBG. Can be satisfactorily prevented.
