Description

本発明は、多段ボトルに関し、より詳細には、複数の独立容器を一体の棒状に多段連結可能な多段ボトルに関する。   The present invention relates to a multi-stage bottle, and more particularly to a multi-stage bottle in which a plurality of independent containers can be connected in a multi-stage as a single bar.

これまでのペットボトルでは、１本に対して１種類のものしか味わうことができなかった。そこで、従来ある飲料用を主とするペットボトルを多段化し、それぞれが分割可能な独立容器を多段に連結して１本にまとめた構造とすることにより、１本で数種類を味わうことができる一方、連結を解除することにより、複数の人が同時に別々の独立容器を使用することもできるようにした多段式ペットボトルが知られている（例えば、特許文献１）。   In conventional PET bottles, only one type of bottle can be tasted. Therefore, a conventional plastic bottle mainly used for beverages is multi-staged, and the independent containers that can be divided into multiple stages are connected in multiple stages to form a single structure. A multi-stage PET bottle is known in which a plurality of persons can simultaneously use different independent containers by releasing the connection (for example, Patent Document 1).

また、廃棄するまでの暫定保管に便利で、かつ、再利用を最初から予定したペットボトルの構造およびペットボトルを複数連結してなるペットボトル連結構造が知られている（例えば、特許文献２）。具体的には、ペットボトル本体の底に底部雌ネジを形成する。その底部雌ネジは、口部雄ネジに螺合する形である。一方、底部雌ネジの底面にはパッキンが設けてある。この底部雌ネジに別のペットボトルの口部雄ネジを螺合ことにより二つのペットボトルを縦方向に連結し、ペットボトル連結構造を形成することができるようにしたものである。   In addition, a PET bottle structure that is convenient for provisional storage until disposal and that is planned to be reused from the beginning and a PET bottle connection structure in which a plurality of PET bottles are connected is known (for example, Patent Document 2). . Specifically, a bottom female screw is formed on the bottom of the plastic bottle body. The bottom female screw is threaded into the mouth male screw. On the other hand, a packing is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom female screw. By screwing the mouth male screw of another plastic bottle into this bottom female screw, two plastic bottles are connected in the vertical direction so that a plastic bottle connecting structure can be formed.

また、異なる内容物を入れた容器を好みに応じて選択し、その選択した容器どうしを連結することで内容物を混合して飲用等をすることができるようにした容器が知られている（例えば、特許文献３）。具体的には、底面に切開可能な蓋部材を有し且つ該底面に切開片が外方へ突設されるとともに、底部外周面に雄型連結部が形成された上部容器と、天井面に切開可能な蓋部材を有し且つ該天井面に切開片が外方へ突設されるとともに、天井部内周面に雌型連結部が形成された下部容器と、より構成され、これら上下部容器の雄雌型連結部を互いに連結する動作に伴って両者の蓋部材が相手方の切開片により切開されて互いの内容物が混合されるようになっているというものである。   In addition, there is known a container in which containers containing different contents are selected according to preference and the selected containers are connected to each other so that the contents can be mixed and drunk or the like ( For example, Patent Document 3). Specifically, an upper container having a lid member that can be incised on the bottom surface, a cut piece projecting outwardly on the bottom surface, and a male connecting portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the bottom portion, and a ceiling surface These upper and lower containers are composed of a lower container having an incisable lid member and a cutout projecting outwardly on the ceiling surface and having a female connecting portion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the ceiling. In accordance with the operation of connecting the male and female type connecting portions to each other, both the lid members are incised by the other incision piece, and the contents of each other are mixed.

また、缶の形態をした密閉容器の蓋部に、雄ネジを設けて底部に雌ネジを設けることによって、複数の缶の形態をした密閉容器を連結することができるようにされた組み合わせ密閉形容器が知られている（例えば、特許文献４）。   In addition, a combination hermetically sealed container is configured such that a plurality of can-shaped sealed containers can be connected by providing a male screw on the lid of the sealed container shaped as a can and a female screw on the bottom. A container is known (for example, Patent Document 4).

しかしながら、特許文献１の多段式ペットボトルは、上段専用と下段専用とで形状の異なる２種類のペットボトルが必要である。したがって、異なる２種類のペットボトル用に各別の金型が必要となり不経済である。   However, the multistage PET bottle of Patent Document 1 requires two types of PET bottles having different shapes for the upper stage and the lower stage. Therefore, separate molds are required for two different types of PET bottles, which is uneconomical.

また、特許文献２のものは、廃棄の為の保管に便利なように複数連結してなるペットボトル連結構造であり、飲料が販売されてから消費されるまでの期間における使い勝手の良さを追及したものではない。つまり、本来の役目を終えたペットボトルが廃棄されるまで期間、一時保管する際の占有面積が少なくて済ませることが主目的である。特に、特許文献２のものは、ペットボトルを多段化することにより、１本で数種類味わえるように付加価値や利便性を高めたものではない。   In addition, the one in Patent Document 2 is a PET bottle connection structure in which a plurality of PET bottles are connected so as to be convenient for storage for disposal, and has pursued ease of use in a period from when a beverage is sold until it is consumed. It is not a thing. In other words, the main purpose is to occupy a small area during temporary storage until the PET bottle that has finished its original role is discarded. Especially the thing of patent document 2 does not raise the added value and the convenience so that several kinds can be tasted by one by making a multi-stage PET bottle.

つまり、ジュース等の飲料液体が充満したペットボトルを複数連結した状態で保存、流通、販売され、末端消費者が少しずつ飲んでは持ち歩くような用途には適さない。その理由は、特許文献２の図４（Ａ）に示されているように、連結体の棒状構成を維持するための強度、特に曲げ方向の強度が決定的に不足する連結構造であり、取り扱う者に相当の配慮を強いることになるからである。また、長さ対容積の比率も悪い。つまり、かさばる割りには器が小さい。   In other words, it is not suitable for use in which a plurality of PET bottles filled with beverages such as juice are stored, distributed, and sold in a connected state, and carried by end consumers little by little. The reason is as shown in FIG. 4A of Patent Document 2 is a connection structure in which the strength for maintaining the rod-like structure of the connection body, particularly the strength in the bending direction, is decisively insufficient. This is because it will force considerable consideration to the person. Also, the ratio of length to volume is poor. In other words, the vessel is small for the bulky.

また、特許文献３のものは、販売時点では別体であった２本の異なるボトルを飲用時に合体させることにより、内容物を混合させて飲用に供するものであり、小分けして多品種を味わう、保管時の省スペース、あるいは携行時の利便性等の方向性とは異なるものである。   Moreover, the thing of patent document 3 mixes the contents by mixing two different bottles which were separate at the time of sale at the time of drinking, and uses them for drinking. It is different from the direction of space saving at the time of storage or convenience at the time of carrying.

また、特許文献４の図７の組み合わせ密閉形容器は、１種類の形状に統一することが可能な点で、２種類以上の異なる形状を必要とした特許文献１の多段式ペットボトルよりも優れている。しかしながら、特許文献４の図７のものは、ペットボトルの飲み口に蓋をネジ止めする目的で形成された雄ネジを、その上段に組み合わせられる別ボトルと多段連結するための締結用に兼用する構成ではない。   Moreover, the combination sealed container of FIG. 7 of Patent Document 4 is superior to the multistage PET bottle of Patent Document 1 that requires two or more different shapes in that it can be unified into one shape. ing. However, in FIG. 7 of Patent Document 4, the male screw formed for the purpose of screwing the lid on the drinking mouth of the PET bottle is also used for fastening for multi-stage connection with another bottle combined in the upper stage. It is not a configuration.

したがって、上下段で２つのボトルを締結する専用の雄雌ネジ部を周縁部に螺設する必要がある点で、特許文献１の多段式ペットボトルに類似している。この場合、特に大径の雌ネジを単一部品構成によるペットボトルの周縁部に螺設することは、金型製作の点で困難になる場合がある。その場合、キャップの材料に似た別材料を用意して、ボトル外周に近い大径の雌ネジを螺設し、その別材料をボトル本体の周縁部に付設するという追加対策が必要になる。その結果、ペットボトル本体部の構造や強度にかかわる部分、すなわち躯体構造だけで２部品構成となるため、相当のコストアップが免れない。   Therefore, it is similar to the multistage type PET bottle of Patent Document 1 in that a dedicated male / female screw portion for fastening two bottles in the upper and lower stages needs to be screwed to the peripheral portion. In this case, in particular, it may be difficult to screw a large-diameter female screw around the peripheral edge of a PET bottle having a single component configuration in terms of mold manufacture. In that case, it is necessary to prepare another material similar to the material of the cap, screw a large-diameter female screw close to the outer periphery of the bottle, and attach the other material to the peripheral portion of the bottle body. As a result, since the two-part structure is formed only by the part related to the structure and strength of the PET bottle main body, that is, the housing structure, a considerable increase in cost is inevitable.

本発明は、このような問題に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的とするところは、飲料用を主とするボトルを多段連結可能にすることにより、小分けした多種類の液体又は粉末をコンパクトに一本化して保存、運搬を容易にするばかりでなく、消費者が入手した後にも、１本で数種類の内容物を適宜使い分けられることに加え、それぞれの容器が独立した構造であるため、複数の人が同時に別のボトルを使用可能であるとともに、どれを消費するか、連結段のいずれを分割するか、どのように連結するか、連結段の入れ替え選択といった遊びの部分も含めた自由度が多くて楽しみをもたらす多段ボトルを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is to make it possible to compactly divide a large variety of liquids or powders into small parts by enabling a multi-stage connection of bottles mainly for beverages. Not only is it easy to store and transport by unifying, but also after the consumer obtains, several types of contents can be properly used by one, and each container has an independent structure. Can use different bottles at the same time, and the degree of freedom including the play part such as which to consume, which of the connecting stages to divide, how to connect, and the switching selection of the connecting stages The goal is to provide multi-stage bottles that have a lot of fun.

以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態について説明する。なお、全図にわたって同一効果の箇所および部材等には同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
図１は、本発明の実施例１に係る多段ボトルの概要を示す縦断面図である。図１に示すように、多段ボトル１００は、それぞれは、ペットボトル、アルミニウム製ボトル、スチール容器、又はガラス容器である密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃが縦に連結された組み物構成の容器、すなわち縦型連結式の多段ボトルである。また、密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃのそれぞれは、高さＨ１，Ｈ２，Ｈ３以外の形状が同一であり、多段連結された際の最上凸部２２近傍を除く外観は円柱状である。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the location and member, etc. of the same effect over all drawings, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an outline of a multistage bottle according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, each of the multi-stage bottles 100 is a container having a structure in which sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c, which are PET bottles, aluminum bottles, steel containers, or glass containers, are vertically connected, that is, It is a multi-stage bottle with vertical connection. Each of the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c has the same shape other than the heights H1, H2, and H3, and the outer appearance excluding the vicinity of the uppermost convex portion 22 when connected in multiple stages is a columnar shape.

なお、図１では、３段に連結された密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃそれぞれの高さＨ１，Ｈ２，Ｈ３も含めた形状が同一であるがこれは一例に過ぎず、Ｈ１＝Ｈ２≠Ｈ３，Ｈ１≠Ｈ２＝Ｈ３，Ｈ１＝Ｈ３≠Ｈ２又はＨ１≠Ｈ２≠Ｈ３のいずれでも構わない。また、連結数は３段に限らず、２段以上何段でも構わない。   In FIG. 1, the shapes including the heights H1, H2, and H3 of the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c connected in three stages are the same, but this is only an example, and H1 = H2 ≠ H3. H1 ≠ H2 = H3, H1 = H3 ≠ H2, or H1 ≠ H2 ≠ H3 may be used. Further, the number of connections is not limited to three, and may be two or more.

この多段ボトル１００は、それぞれの密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃが独立した構造であるため、小分けした多種類の液体又は粉末をコンパクトに一本化して保存、運搬を容易にするばかりでなく、消費者が入手した後にも、多段連結された１本で数種類の内容物を適宜使い分けられる。逆に１種類の内容物を複数の密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃに小分けして保存し、順次開封しながら消費しても構わない。   Since this multi-stage bottle 100 has an independent structure for each hermetic container 10a, 10b, 10c, it is not only easy to store and transport a small number of various types of liquids or powders, but also to consume them. Even after the user obtains, several types of contents can be used properly by one connected in multiple stages. Conversely, one type of contents may be stored in a plurality of sealed containers 10a, 10b, 10c, and consumed while being opened sequentially.

また、密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃの連結部２５を跨いで上下にずれないラベルシール２６（図１では省略し、図２（Ｂ）および図３に示す）が付設されており、２段目以降の密閉容器１０ｂ，１０ｃが未開封であることを証明する機能を有する。このラベルシール２６には連結解除する際に切断を容易にするためのミシン目２７が設けられている。つまり、消費者は、適宜にラベルシール２６をミシン目２７から破断をしながら多段ボトル１００の連結を解除するとともに、２段目以降の密閉容器１０ｂ，１０ｃを開封する。   In addition, a label seal 26 (not shown in FIG. 1 and shown in FIGS. 2B and 3) that does not shift up and down across the connecting portion 25 of the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c is attached. It has a function to prove that the subsequent sealed containers 10b and 10c are unopened. The label seal 26 is provided with a perforation 27 for facilitating cutting when the connection is released. That is, the consumer breaks the label seal 26 from the perforation 27 as appropriate to release the connection of the multistage bottle 100 and opens the second and subsequent sealed containers 10b and 10c.

以下に、多段ボトル１００の細部構成について説明する。
すなわち、密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃそれぞれは、概ね円筒形の本体と一体成形された小径円筒部１１と、雄ネジ１２と、凹部１３と、雌ネジ１４と、肩部漏斗形状面１７と、底部漏斗形状面１８と、を備えて構成されている。なお、密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃそれぞれが、ガラス容器である場合は、雄ネジ１２および雌ネジ１４のいずれか一方に樹脂等の材料、すなわち、ガラスのネジと螺合することに馴染みやすい材料を用いることが好ましい。 Below, the detailed structure of the multistage bottle 100 is demonstrated.
That is, each of the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c includes a small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 formed integrally with a substantially cylindrical main body, a male screw 12, a concave portion 13, a female screw 14, and a shoulder funnel-shaped surface 17. And a bottom funnel-shaped surface 18. In addition, when each of the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c is a glass container, a material such as a resin, that is, a material that can easily be fitted into one of the male screw 12 and the female screw 14, that is, a screw of glass. Is preferably used.

小径円筒部１１は、円筒形の本体の上部中央で縦軸Ｙ方向に凸設され開口し、容器の出入り口を構成するとともに、飲料容器として用いられる場合は、消費者の口唇に直接触れる飲み口となる。小径円筒部（以下、「飲み口」ともいう）１１の外周には雄ネジ１２が形成されている。その飲み口１１の雄ネジ１２に適応する雌ネジ４を伴った蓋１が開閉自在に螺合することにより、ボトルの内容物の全部を一度に飲み干せなくても、蓋１で飲み口１１を閉じて一時保存し、適時に蓋１を開けて飲み直すことが可能である。また、蓋１の内側の突き当たり面２３にもシール部２４が形成又は配設されている。なお、飲料用ペットボトルにおいて、蓋１には未開封を証明する機構が施されているが、その詳細は省略する。   The small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 protrudes and opens in the vertical axis Y direction at the center of the upper portion of the cylindrical main body to form an entrance / exit of the container. When used as a beverage container, the small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 directly touches the consumer's lips. It becomes. A male screw 12 is formed on the outer periphery of the small-diameter cylindrical portion (hereinafter also referred to as “a drinking mouth”) 11. The lid 1 with the female screw 4 adapted to the male screw 12 of the drinking mouth 11 is screwed openably and closably, so that the drinking mouth 11 can be opened with the lid 1 even if the entire contents of the bottle cannot be swallowed at once. It can be closed and stored temporarily, and the lid 1 can be opened and re-drinked in a timely manner. Further, a seal portion 24 is also formed or disposed on the abutting surface 23 inside the lid 1. In the beverage PET bottle, the lid 1 is provided with a mechanism for proving the unopened state, but details thereof are omitted.

凹部１３は、小径円筒部１１を収容可能な大きさで底部中央を縦軸Ｙ方向に陥没させて構成されている。凹部１３の内周壁には、雌ネジ１４が形成されている。この雌ネジ１４は、小径円筒部１１の外周に形成された雄ネジ１２に螺合可能である。したがって、１つの密閉容器１０ａの底部の雌ネジ１４に、他の密閉容器１０ｂ，１０ｃの雄ネジ１２を螺合締結することにより、複数の密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃを任意の順番で多段連結することが可能である。   The recess 13 has a size that can accommodate the small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 and is configured such that the center of the bottom is depressed in the Y-axis direction. A female screw 14 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the recess 13. The female screw 14 can be screwed onto a male screw 12 formed on the outer periphery of the small diameter cylindrical portion 11. Therefore, a plurality of sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c are connected in multiple stages in an arbitrary order by screwing and fastening the male screw 12 of the other sealed containers 10b and 10c to the female screw 14 at the bottom of one sealed container 10a. Is possible.

肩部漏斗形状面１７は、密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃに共通する形状であり、小径円筒部１１の基部１５から最大外周部１６（１６Ａ，１６Ｂを含む）にかけて延設されている。また、底部漏斗形状面１８は、凹部１３の首部１９から最大外周部１６Ｂにかけて延設されている。これら、肩部漏斗形状面１７と、底部漏斗形状面１８とは、互いの当接面２０が密着嵌合して馴染むような凹凸の形状に構成されている。   The shoulder funnel-shaped surface 17 has a shape common to the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c, and extends from the base portion 15 of the small diameter cylindrical portion 11 to the maximum outer peripheral portion 16 (including 16A and 16B). Further, the bottom funnel-shaped surface 18 extends from the neck portion 19 of the recess 13 to the maximum outer peripheral portion 16B. The shoulder funnel-shaped surface 17 and the bottom funnel-shaped surface 18 are formed in an uneven shape such that the abutting surfaces 20 are closely fitted to each other.

多段ボトル１００は、一つの密閉容器１０ａの雌ネジ１４に他の密閉容器１０ｂの雄ネジ１２を螺合して多段連結構成される。多段ボトル１００は、このように連結した際に、上側に位置する密閉容器１０ａの底部漏斗形状面１８と、下側に位置する密閉容器１０ｂの肩部漏斗形状面１７と、の当接面２０は、最大外周部１６近傍で同心円状に分布する。なお、当接面２０は、必ずしも環状に連続していなくても、最大外周部１６の中心Ｏに対して対称的であれば良い。例えば、同心円状の当接面２０に代えて、中心Ｏから放射状のスリット模様で区切られた扇形に分割された複数の当接面が形成されていても構わない（図示せず）。   The multistage bottle 100 is configured to be connected in multistage by screwing the male screw 12 of another closed container 10b to the female screw 14 of one closed container 10a. When the multi-stage bottle 100 is connected in this manner, the contact surface 20 between the bottom funnel-shaped surface 18 of the sealed container 10a positioned on the upper side and the shoulder funnel-shaped surface 17 of the sealed container 10b positioned on the lower side. Are concentrically distributed in the vicinity of the maximum outer peripheral portion 16. Note that the contact surface 20 is not necessarily continuous in an annular shape, but may be symmetrical with respect to the center O of the maximum outer peripheral portion 16. For example, instead of the concentric contact surface 20, a plurality of contact surfaces divided from the center O in a sector shape divided by a radial slit pattern may be formed (not shown).

つまり、互いの当接面２０が密着嵌合して馴染むような凹凸の形状に構成されていることに加えて、連結部２５が、最大外周部１６近傍で周方向に均等に支持されるので連結強度が高い。特に、曲げ応力に対する剛性を維持し易い。その結果、多段ボトル１００は、棒状一体物であるように取り扱えるので、小分けした多種類の液体又は粉末をコンパクトに一本化して保存、運搬を容易にする。   That is, in addition to being configured in a concave and convex shape so that the contact surfaces 20 are closely fitted to each other, the connecting portion 25 is evenly supported in the circumferential direction in the vicinity of the maximum outer peripheral portion 16. High connection strength. In particular, it is easy to maintain rigidity against bending stress. As a result, the multi-stage bottle 100 can be handled as if it were a rod-like one, so that a large number of subdivided liquids or powders can be integrated into a single compact for easy storage and transportation.

凹部１３の突き当たり面２３には、シール部２４が形成又は配設され、連結した際に、当該シール部２４の下側に位置する密閉容器１０ｂを密封可能である。なお、凹部１３の内部形状は、蓋１の内側と同様であるため、蓋１の内側の突き当たり面３に配設されているシール部２４と同じ部品を、凹部１３の突き当たり面２３にも共用できる。また、凹部１３の突き当たり面２３と、シール部２４とは一体成形されていても構わない。   A seal portion 24 is formed or disposed on the abutting surface 23 of the concave portion 13, and the sealed container 10 b positioned below the seal portion 24 can be sealed when connected. In addition, since the internal shape of the recessed part 13 is the same as the inner side of the lid | cover 1, the same components as the seal part 24 arrange | positioned at the abutting surface 3 inside the lid | cover 1 are shared also in the abutting surface 23 of the recessed part 13. it can. Further, the abutting surface 23 of the concave portion 13 and the seal portion 24 may be integrally formed.

図２は、図１の多段ボトルにおいて、一つの密閉容器１０ａの雌ネジ１４に他の密閉容器１０ｂの雄ネジ１２を螺合して多段連結した際の連結部２５を説明するための図であり、図２（Ａ）は平面模式図、図２（Ｂ）は縦断面図である。図２に示すように、多段ボトル１００の連結部２５において、当接面２０の面積は、底部漏斗形状面１８又は肩部漏斗形状面１７の面積Ｍに比べて、所定比率（以下、「密着率」ともいう）Ａ以上である。この比率Ａは下式（１）〜（４）により定義するとおり、５０％以上１００％未満であることが好ましい。   FIG. 2 is a view for explaining a connecting portion 25 when the multi-stage bottle of FIG. 1 is connected to the female screw 14 of one sealed container 10a with the male screw 12 of another sealed container 10b and connected in a multi-stage manner. 2A is a schematic plan view, and FIG. 2B is a longitudinal sectional view. As shown in FIG. 2, in the connecting portion 25 of the multistage bottle 100, the area of the abutment surface 20 is a predetermined ratio (hereinafter referred to as “contact”) compared to the area M of the bottom funnel-shaped surface 18 or the shoulder funnel-shaped surface 17. (Also referred to as “rate”). This ratio A is preferably 50% or more and less than 100% as defined by the following formulas (1) to (4).

底部漏斗形状面１８又は肩部漏斗形状面１７の面積Ｍ＝π（ｒ４ ２−ｒ１ ２）
・・・（１）
当接面２０の面積Ｓ＝π（ｒ３ ２−ｒ２ ２）・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・（２）
密着率Ａ＝Ｓ／Ｍ＝（ｒ３ ２−ｒ２ ２）／（ｒ４ ２−ｒ１ ２）≧０．５＝５０％
・・・（３）
５０％≦密着率Ａ＜１００％ ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ （４）
なお、場合によっては、１０％≦密着率Ａ＜１００％でも良い。 Area M = π (r 4 2 −r 1 2 ) of bottom funnel shaped surface 18 or shoulder funnel shaped surface 17
... (1)
Area S of contact surface 20 = π (r 3 2 −r 2 2 ) (2)
Adhesion rate A = S / M = (r 3 2 −r 2 2 ) / (r 4 2 −r 1 2 ) ≧ 0.5 = 50%
... (3)
50% ≦ adhesion rate A <100% (4)
In some cases, 10% ≦ adhesion ratio A <100% may be satisfied.

多段ボトル１００が連結を解除された状態では、当接面２０の面積Ｓ＝０、密着率Ａ＝０％である。上段の密閉容器１０ａの雌ネジ１４に下段の密閉容器１０ｂの雄ネジ１２を螺合して多段連結を開始し、連結部２５において、雌ネジ１４に雄ネジ１２が強く締め込まれると、それにつれて、当接面２０の面積Ｓが増加して密着率Ａが大きくなる。   In a state where the multi-stage bottle 100 is disconnected, the area S of the contact surface 20 is 0 and the adhesion rate A is 0%. When the male screw 12 of the lower sealed container 10b is screwed to the female screw 14 of the upper sealed container 10a to start multi-stage connection. When the male screw 12 is strongly tightened to the female screw 14 at the connecting portion 25, As the area S of the contact surface 20 increases, the adhesion rate A increases.

ただし、ネジ締め強度の目安を、下段の密閉容器１０ｂを密閉するに足りる程度と定義する。このとき、図２（Ｂ）に示す空間２１は、雌ネジ１４と雄ネジ１２とを増し締め可能な締め代として残存していることが必要である。この空間２１が無ければ密着率Ａ＝１００％であるが、その場合、連結部２５において、雌ネジ１４と雄ネジ１２とを締め増すことができず、下段の密閉容器１０ｂを密閉することが不完全になり易い。増し締め分のストロークは、凹部１３の突き当たり面２３と、雄ネジ１２の先端との間に介在するシール部２４の弾力性で吸収される。   However, the standard of the screw tightening strength is defined as an extent sufficient to seal the lower sealed container 10b. At this time, the space 21 shown in FIG. 2B needs to remain as an allowance for tightening the female screw 14 and the male screw 12. If this space 21 is not present, the adhesion rate A = 100%, but in that case, the female screw 14 and the male screw 12 cannot be tightened at the connecting portion 25, and the lower sealed container 10b can be sealed. It tends to be incomplete. The stroke of the additional tightening is absorbed by the elasticity of the seal portion 24 interposed between the abutting surface 23 of the recess 13 and the tip of the male screw 12.

図２（Ｂ）に示すように、密閉容器１０ａと１０ｂの連結部２５を跨いで上下にずれないように、連結部２５を跨ぐ上下それぞれの外周面に、縦軸Ｙに直角なラベル固定溝２８を凹設し、そのラベル固定溝２８に、ラベルシール２６の上辺および下辺それぞれの近傍のラベル面を食い込ませると良い。なお、ラベルシール２６およびラベル固定溝２８については、図２（Ｂ）のみに示し、図１および図４では省略している。ラベルシール２６には連結解除する際に切断を容易にするためのミシン目２７が設けられている。また、図２（Ｂ）にはないが、密閉容器１０ｂと１０ｃとの連結部２５にも同等のラベルシール２６が付設されている。   As shown in FIG. 2 (B), a label fixing groove perpendicular to the vertical axis Y is formed on each of the upper and lower outer circumferential surfaces straddling the connecting portion 25 so as not to shift vertically across the connecting portion 25 of the sealed containers 10a and 10b. It is preferable that the label fixing groove 28 is recessed and the label surfaces in the vicinity of the upper side and the lower side of the label seal 26 are bitten into the label fixing groove 28. The label seal 26 and the label fixing groove 28 are shown only in FIG. 2B, and are omitted in FIGS. The label seal 26 is provided with a perforation 27 for facilitating cutting when the connection is released. Although not shown in FIG. 2B, an equivalent label seal 26 is attached to the connecting portion 25 between the sealed containers 10b and 10c.

図３は、本発明の実施例１（後述する実施例２にも共通する。）に係る多段ボトルの概要を示す斜視図である。なお、この多段ボトル１００に関する詳細について、特に、図３に符号を付した箇所および部材等については、図１および図２を用いて、既に説明したとおりである。図３に示すように、多段ボトル１００は、３段に連結されている姿が１本のボトルであるかのような印象を与えるため、すっきりと美しい構造である。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an outline of a multistage bottle according to Example 1 of the present invention (common to Example 2 described later). In addition, about the detail regarding this multistage bottle 100, especially about the location and member which attached | subjected the code | symbol in FIG. 3, it is as having already demonstrated using FIG. 1 and FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the multi-stage bottle 100 has a clean and beautiful structure in order to give the impression that the figure connected in three stages is a single bottle.

また、図２（Ｂ）でも示したラベルシール２６は、その下の様子まで図解する都合上、透明フィルムで示しているが、実際には内容物を明示するための印刷が施されている。その場合、なおのこと、１本のボトルであるかのような印象を与える。そして、消費者は、密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂ，１０ｃのうち、連結部２５を挟んで何れか２つを選択して掴み、締結されているネジを緩める方向に捻って分離する。例えば、消費者が、中段の密閉容器１０ａを左手で持ち、最下段の密閉容器１０ｃを右手で持ち、濡れたタオルを絞るようにネジを緩めることにより、ラベルシール２６がミシン目２７で破断するとともに、連結部２５の連結が解除され始める。その動作を進めると、最下段の密閉容器１０ｃが開栓されて、内容物を飲用等に供し得る状態となる。閉栓時には開栓時と逆の動作により、連結部２５を再度連結する。その結果、１本のボトルであるかのように、移動、収納に便利な姿に戻すことが可能である。   Further, the label sticker 26 shown in FIG. 2B is shown as a transparent film for the purpose of illustrating the state below the label sticker 26, but in practice, printing for clearly showing the contents is performed. In that case, it gives the impression that it is a single bottle. Then, the consumer selects and grasps any two of the sealed containers 10a, 10b, and 10c with the connecting portion 25 interposed therebetween, and twists and separates the fastened screws to separate them. For example, the consumer holds the middle sealed container 10a with the left hand, the lowermost sealed container 10c with the right hand, and loosens the screw so as to squeeze the wet towel, whereby the label seal 26 is broken at the perforation 27. At the same time, the connection of the connecting portion 25 starts to be released. As the operation proceeds, the lowermost sealed container 10c is opened, and the contents can be used for drinking. At the time of closing, the connecting portion 25 is connected again by an operation reverse to that at the time of opening. As a result, it is possible to return to a convenient shape for movement and storage as if it were one bottle.

本発明によれば、小分けした多種類の液体又は粉末をコンパクトに一本化することにより、保存、運搬を容易にするばかりでなく、消費者が入手した後にも、１本で数種類の内容物を適宜使い分けられることに加え、それぞれの容器が独立した構造であるため、複数の人が同時に別のボトルを使用可能であるとともに、どれを消費するか、連結段のいずれを分割するか、どのように連結するか、連結段の入れ替え選択といった遊びの部分も含めた自由度が多くて楽しみをもたらす多段ボトルを実現できる。   According to the present invention, a large number of subdivided liquids or powders can be integrated into a single compact to facilitate storage and transportation. Since each container has an independent structure, it is possible for multiple people to use different bottles at the same time, and which one to consume, which of the connecting stages to be divided, which Thus, it is possible to realize a multi-stage bottle with a lot of freedom including a part of play such as connection or replacement of connection stages.

図４は、本発明の実施例２に係る多段ボトルの概要を示す縦断面図である。なお、実施例１で説明済みであって、図１〜図３に示したものと同一効果の箇所および部材等には同一符号を付して説明を省略する。また、図３は実施例１，２に共通するが、図３に示したラベルシール２６、そのミシン目２７、およびラベル固定溝２８については、図１と同様に図４から省略している。   FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an outline of a multistage bottle according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In addition, it has already demonstrated in Example 1, Comprising: The same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the location and member, etc. of the same effect as what was shown in FIGS. 1-3, and description is abbreviate | omitted. 3 is common to the first and second embodiments, the label seal 26, the perforation 27, and the label fixing groove 28 shown in FIG. 3 are omitted from FIG. 4 as in FIG.

図４に示した多段ボトル２００は、複数の密閉容器２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃを縦に連結可能である。密閉容器２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃのそれぞれは、小径円筒部１１，５と、雄ネジ１２，７と、凹部６と、雌ネジ８と、肩部漏斗形状面９と、底部漏斗形状面２９と、を備えて構成されている。   The multistage bottle 200 shown in FIG. 4 can connect a plurality of sealed containers 2a, 2b, 2c vertically. Each of the sealed containers 2a, 2b, 2c includes a small-diameter cylindrical portion 11, 5, a male screw 12, 7, a recess 6, a female screw 8, a shoulder funnel-shaped surface 9, a bottom funnel-shaped surface 29, It is configured with.

小径円筒部（飲み口）１１には雄ネジ１２が螺設され、拡径された小径円筒部５には雄ネジ７が螺設されている。凹部６は、蓋１を被せた状態の小径円筒部１１および小径円筒部５を収容可能な大きさで底部中央を縦軸Ｙ方向に陥没するように形成されている。雌ネジ８は、雄ネジ７に螺合するように凹部６の拡径された方の内周壁に螺設されている。肩部漏斗形状面９は、拡径された小径円筒部５の基部３１から最大外周部１６Ａにかけて延在する。底部漏斗形状面２９は、凹部６の首部３０から最大外周部１６Ｂにかけて延在する。   A male screw 12 is screwed to the small-diameter cylindrical portion (drinking mouth) 11, and a male screw 7 is screwed to the small-diameter cylindrical portion 5 whose diameter has been increased. The recess 6 has a size that can accommodate the small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 and the small-diameter cylindrical portion 5 that are covered with the lid 1 and is formed so that the center of the bottom portion is depressed in the Y-axis direction. The female screw 8 is screwed to the inner peripheral wall of the diameter-enlarged recess 6 so as to be screwed to the male screw 7. The shoulder funnel-shaped surface 9 extends from the base 31 of the enlarged small diameter cylindrical portion 5 to the maximum outer peripheral portion 16A. The bottom funnel-shaped surface 29 extends from the neck portion 30 of the recess 6 to the maximum outer peripheral portion 16B.

また、一つの密閉容器２ａの雌ネジ８に他の密閉容器２ｂの雄ネジ７を螺合して連結した際に、上側に位置する密閉容器２ａの底部漏斗形状面２９と、下側に位置する密閉容器２ｂの肩部漏斗形状面９と、の当接面４０は、最大外周部１６Ａ，１６Ｂ近傍で、その最大外周部１６Ａ，１６Ｂの中心に対して対称的に分布する。なお、当接面４０は、最大外周部１６Ａ，１６Ｂ近傍で、その最大外周部１６Ａ，１６Ｂの中心に対して同心円状に分布する。   Further, when the male screw 7 of the other sealed container 2b is screwed and connected to the female screw 8 of one sealed container 2a, the bottom funnel-shaped surface 29 of the sealed container 2a located on the upper side and the lower side are positioned. The contact surface 40 of the closed container 2b with the shoulder funnel-shaped surface 9 is distributed symmetrically with respect to the centers of the maximum outer peripheral portions 16A and 16B in the vicinity of the maximum outer peripheral portions 16A and 16B. The contact surface 40 is distributed concentrically with respect to the centers of the maximum outer peripheral portions 16A and 16B in the vicinity of the maximum outer peripheral portions 16A and 16B.

実施例１と実施例２の相違点は、２〜３段目の密閉容器にそれぞれ専用の蓋１が付属するか否かの点である。すなわち、実施例１の２〜３段目の密閉容器１０ｂ，１０ｃには専用の蓋１がない代わりに、それぞれ１つ上段の密閉容器１０ａ，１０ｂの凹部１３における雌ネジ１４の螺設された内壁と突き当り面２３が蓋１の機能を果たす。したがって、密閉容器１０ｂ，１０ｃは、多段連結された状態で密閉される。   The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is whether or not a dedicated lid 1 is attached to each of the second to third sealed containers. That is, instead of having the dedicated lid 1 in the second to third sealed containers 10b and 10c of the first embodiment, the female screws 14 are respectively screwed in the recesses 13 of the upper sealed containers 10a and 10b. The inner wall and the abutting surface 23 function as the lid 1. Therefore, the sealed containers 10b and 10c are sealed in a state where they are connected in multiple stages.

一方、実施例２において、２〜３段目の密閉容器２ｂ，２ｃには、１段目の密閉容器２ａと同様に、それぞれ専用の蓋１があり、その蓋１を閉めた状態で多段連結と連結解除が可能である。そのため、実施例２の密閉容器２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃそれぞれに、蓋１とは無関係で連結専用の雄ネジ７および雌ネジ８が螺設されている。   On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the second- and third-stage sealed containers 2b and 2c have their own lids 1 as in the first-stage sealed containers 2a, and are connected in multiple stages with the lids 1 closed. Can be decoupled. Therefore, a male screw 7 and a female screw 8 exclusively for connection are screwed to the sealed containers 2a, 2b, and 2c of the second embodiment regardless of the lid 1.

また、小径円筒部（飲み口）１１には、基部３１側で段違いに拡径された小径円筒部５が延設されている。これら小径円筒部１１と、拡径された小径円筒部５と、による外径の異なる２段構成が採用されている。また、小径円筒部１１には雄ネジ１２が螺設され、段違いに拡径された小径円筒部５には雄ネジ７が螺設されている。   A small-diameter cylindrical portion (a drinking mouth) 11 is extended with a small-diameter cylindrical portion 5 that is enlarged in steps on the base 31 side. A two-stage configuration in which the outer diameters of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 and the expanded small-diameter cylindrical portion 5 are different is employed. Further, a male screw 12 is screwed into the small diameter cylindrical portion 11, and a male screw 7 is screwed into the small diameter cylindrical portion 5 whose diameter is increased stepwise.

また、密閉容器２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃそれぞれの底部に凹部６が設けられている。この凹部６には、外径の異なる２段構成の小径円筒部１１および小径円筒部５が、さらに蓋１を被せた状態で収容可能である。つまり、上側で細い小径円筒部（飲み口）１１に対応する空間は、飲み口１１を閉じた蓋１の厚さ分のスペースも確保されている。下側で太い方の小径円筒部５に対応する内壁には雌ネジ８が螺設されている。この雌ネジ８は、飲み口１１に螺設された雄ネジ７と螺合する。   Moreover, the recessed part 6 is provided in the bottom part of each airtight container 2a, 2b, 2c. In this recess 6, a small-diameter cylindrical portion 11 and a small-diameter cylindrical portion 5 having a two-stage configuration with different outer diameters can be accommodated while the lid 1 is further covered. In other words, the space corresponding to the thin small-diameter cylindrical portion (drinking mouth) 11 on the upper side is also secured as much as the thickness of the lid 1 with the drinking mouth 11 closed. A female screw 8 is screwed on the inner wall corresponding to the thicker small-diameter cylindrical portion 5 on the lower side. The female screw 8 is screwed with a male screw 7 screwed to the drinking mouth 11.

実施例２の多段ボトル２００は、密閉容器２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの全てに専用の蓋１があり、その蓋１を閉じた状態で多段連結と連結解除が可能なので、密閉容器２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃを、３人に１個ずつ分ける場合、他の密閉容器に依存せずに再度蓋閉じ可能なため重宝される。   In the multistage bottle 200 of the second embodiment, all of the sealed containers 2a, 2b, and 2c have a dedicated lid 1, and the multistage connection and disconnection are possible with the lid 1 closed, so that the sealed containers 2a, 2b, and 2c are closed. When one is divided into three persons, it is useful because the lid can be closed again without depending on other sealed containers.

本発明は、ペットボトルやアルミ缶を容器として従来から提供されていたもの、すなわち、お茶、コーヒー、紅茶、等の飲料品を始め、食用油、および調味料等を消費者に提供する際の使い捨てのボトル型容器として利用される可能性がある。また、飲料等の液体に限らず、粉末状の調味料、粉ミルク、薬品、およびインク等の保存、運搬、および消費者への提供にも利用される可能性がある。特に、調味料や薬品で同時に複数の種類が必要とされる場合、例えば、しょうゆとソースの組み合わせ、甘口、中辛、辛口のたれの組み合わせ、オキシドールとマーキュロクロムの組み合わせ等が好適であり、組み合わせのケアレスミスを低減する効果もある。   The present invention has been conventionally provided as a container with PET bottles and aluminum cans, that is, when providing beverages such as tea, coffee, tea, edible oil, seasonings and the like to consumers. There is a possibility of being used as a disposable bottle-shaped container. Moreover, it may be used not only for liquids such as beverages but also for storage, transportation, and provision to consumers of powdered seasonings, powdered milk, medicines, inks, and the like. In particular, when multiple types of seasonings and chemicals are required at the same time, for example, a combination of soy sauce and sauce, a combination of sweet, medium hot, dry sauce, a combination of oxidol and mercurochrome, etc. are suitable. It also has the effect of reducing careless mistakes.

また、調味料において、しょうゆのように経時劣化の早い内容物を小分けして密封し、順次開封して消費すれば、同一容量を、より長期保存しながら消費できる。さらに、薬品において、使用直前まで多品種を隔離して別容器に保存しておき、その多品種を使用時に混合して用いる成分混合型薬品のほか、多種の薬剤を同時使用する場合等の保存および携行に多段ボトル１００を適用すると、利便性、保存性、経済性およびケアレスミス防止の点で、効果的である。特に、救急医療対応等に極めて有用である。   In addition, in seasonings, if the contents that deteriorate quickly with time, such as soy sauce, are subdivided and sealed, and then opened and consumed in sequence, the same volume can be consumed while being stored for a longer period of time. Furthermore, in the case of chemicals, multiple types are isolated and stored in separate containers until immediately before use. In addition to component-mixed chemicals that are used by mixing the various types at the time of use, storage such as when multiple types of drugs are used at the same time is stored. Further, when the multi-stage bottle 100 is applied for carrying, it is effective in terms of convenience, storage, economy, and prevention of careless mistakes. In particular, it is extremely useful for emergency medical treatment.

また、飲料品に対し、ボトル１本では多すぎて余らせてしまいがちだった無駄の多い提供方法を、より細やかで無駄の少ない提供方法に改善できる可能性もある。さらに、複数の人が同時に別のボトルを使用可能であるとともに、どれを消費するか、連結段のいずれを分割するか、どのように連結するか、連結段の入れ替え選択といった遊びの部分も含めた自由度が多くて楽しみをもたらす提供方法に改善できる可能性もある。   In addition, there is a possibility that the wasteful provision method, which tends to be excessive due to a single bottle, can be improved to a more detailed and less wasteful provision method for beverages. In addition, multiple people can use different bottles at the same time, and include parts of play such as which to consume, which of the connecting stages to divide, how to connect, and selection of replacement of connecting stages. There is also a possibility that it can be improved to a provision method that has a lot of freedom and brings fun.

特に、自動販売機で販売される飲料品については、１台の自動販売機で取り扱える種類に制約のあるところ、従来のペットボトル１種類分の販売機構で多品種の飲料品を併せて販売することができて、設備の機能効率が向上する。   In particular, for beverages sold by vending machines, there are restrictions on the types that can be handled by a single vending machine. This improves the functional efficiency of the equipment.
