  In addition, when a method of providing food in a simple paper bag or plastic bag is used, in hot food, there is a problem that heat is directly transmitted or food is scattered inside the bag. In addition, it is very difficult to put a drink or the like in a bag with one hand while holding the luggage. Therefore, it is desired to develop a technique that can be operated with one hand without spilling food or drink from the container.

  Therefore, various technical proposals have been conventionally made. For example, a technique of naming the invention “take-out packaging box” is disclosed (see Patent Document 1). Specifically, “a take-out packaging characterized by having a function of a food storage box and a cooking container that are bent and not fixed to a sheet material without being glued, and fixed without being glued. The “box” has become publicly known. However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 has not yet solved the problem of the present invention in view of assembling labor and cost.

  In addition, a technique is disclosed in which the name of the invention is “takeout food container and handbag for carrying the container” (see Patent Document 2). Specifically, “a container for containing take-out food, the container comprising a container body, an intermediate container, and a lid body, the container body having a narrow bottom and an upward inverted trapezoid shape opened upward, The intermediate container has a deep dish shape that fits into the open part of the container main body, and engages with the peripheral part of the open part of the container main body at the peripheral part to hold the intermediate container at the open part. The lid body is covered with an intermediate container, closed, and swelled upward, containing food in the container body, and another food in the intermediate container fitted in the upper open portion Is a take-out food container characterized by having a lid placed on the intermediate container. However, although the technique described in Patent Document 2 uses a structure in which the contents are stable, the problem of the present invention has not yet been solved in terms of assembling effort and cost.

  Further, a technique in which the name of the invention is “functional takeout cup carrier” is disclosed (see Patent Document 3). Specifically, “a support surface that supports a frame surface so that two or more cups can be supported is formed, and an upper support bracket in which a through hole is formed in the center or a side surface and a through hole of the upper support bracket can be connected. Thus, a functional take-out cup carrier characterized in that the insertion protrusion is formed on the upper portion and includes a handle for transporting the cup. However, the technique described in Patent Document 3 has a complicated structure and cannot be said to have stability, and has not yet solved the problem of the present invention.

However, the present invention is not limited to the shape and configuration described in the drawings, and can be changed within a range in which an effect exhibited as a creation of the technical idea of the present invention can be obtained.

  FIG. 1 is a basic configuration explanatory view illustrating the configuration of a food container packaging apparatus 1 according to the present invention. A food storage container packaging apparatus 1 according to the present invention is an apparatus for packaging a food storage container 10 with a packaging member 20, and includes a packaging member storage unit 40, a drawer device storage unit 50, and a base unit 60. The packaging member storage unit 40 stores the packaging member storage device 70, the packaging member storage device 70 stores the cartridge 25, and the cartridge 25 stores a plurality of the packaging members 20. The drawing device storage unit 50 stores the packaging member drawing device 90, and the packaging member drawing device 90 opens the packaging member 20 on the front side from the cartridge 25 in the packaging member storage device 70. Is configured to store.

  The food storage container 10 is a container for storing food and drink, and has a widely used shape such as a paper cup. The food storage container 10 is widely used as a material that has excellent heat resistance and is difficult to transmit heat. It is based on what is, and is not particularly limited. Accordingly, the horizontal cross-sectional shape may be a quadrangle or an ellipse. The size is determined in relation to the packaging member 20, but it can be said that it is common to prepare food containers having different capacities such as at least S, M, and L.

  The packaging member storage unit 40 is a side surface of the insertion unit 30 that houses the packaging member storage device 70 and guides and moves the food storage container 10 from above to below. In addition, it is desirable to use a material with high water repellency as the material. The packaging member storage unit 40 is fixed to the base unit 60.

  It is desirable that the window 41 has a front surface or a side surface of the packaging member storage unit 40 so that the remaining amount of the food storage container 10 in the packaging member storage device 70 to be stored can be seen from the outside, and an opening or a transparent material is used. Can be considered.

  The drawer device storage part 50 is a side surface of the insertion part 30 that houses the packaging member drawer device 90 therein and guides and moves the food storage container 10 downward. In addition, it is desirable to use a material with high water repellency as the material. The packaging member storage unit 40 is fixed to the base unit 60.

  The base unit 60 is a member that serves as a base for arranging the packaging member storage unit 40 and the drawing device storage unit 50 at a distance where the insertion unit 30 is provided. In addition, it is desirable to use a material with high water repellency as the material. In addition, the upper surface of the base part 60 is located at the bottom of the insertion part 30 when the food storage container 10 is pulled down from the top to the bottom, and is flat so that the food storage container 10 can be pulled out.

  The insertion portion 30 moves the food storage container 10 from the upper side to the lower side in the space between the packaging member storage unit 40 and the drawing device storage unit 50, and drives the packaging member extraction device 90 from the operation by the movement. The packaging member 20 has a height that secures a moving distance necessary for packaging the food storage container 10, and is configured to have a width and a depth that can accommodate different sizes of the food storage container 10.

  The packaging member storage device 70 is a device for storing the packaging member 20 or the cartridge 25 in which a plurality of packaging members 20 are collected and connected, and pulling out the packaging member 20 part by part. Further, the packaging member storage device 70 allows the cartridge 25 to be attached to and detached from the packaging member storage portion 40 from the outside, and allows the plurality of cartridges 25 to be attached and the remaining amount of the packaging member 20 or the cartridge 25 to be visually recognized. It is desirable that the window 41 be provided.

  The extruding mechanism 71 is a mechanism for always extruding the packaging member 20 mounted on the packaging member storage device 70 to the packaging member drawing device 90 side, and the number of packaging members 20 in the packaging member storage device 70 is reduced. Even so, the claw portion 83 pushes the packaging member 20 from the contact portion 22 so as to be pulled down one by one. The pushing force is a structure that can be pushed out with a simple structure, for example, using a repulsive force of a spring member or a material having excellent elastic characteristics.

  The packaging member pulling device 90 drives the arm portion 80 by using the operation of the food storage container 10 that moves downward from the upper portion of the insertion portion 30, and the arm member 80 removes the packaging member 20 from the packaging member storage device 70. It is a device that takes out parts one by one.

  In FIG. 1, the cover is shown to be provided at the position to be the back surface of the insertion portion 30, but a cover that covers the upper surface and the front surface is further prepared and fixed to the base portion 60. Thus, it is also effective to prevent the attachment of dust and dust as a whole and to make it portable by providing a handle on the top of the cover.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the packaging member 20 for explaining the shape and type of the packaging member 20 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 (a) shows a case where the packaging member 20 is a holder-type packaging member 21. 2 (b) shows a case where the packaging member 20 is a bag-like packaging member 24, and FIG. 2 (c) shows a case where the handle portion 23 of the packaging member 20 is one.

  The packaging member 20 functions as a packaging member 20 according to the shape and shape thereof, such as a bag-shaped packaging member 24 or a holder-type packaging member 21 provided with a handle portion 23 for packaging in the food storage container 10 and making it easy to take home. Therefore, it is desirable to prepare a type that can be properly used for each store. For example, when the bag-shaped packaging member 24 is used, there are advantages in that the contents are not visible from the outside, or the shape of the food storage container 10 is not limited to a cylindrical shape. On the other hand, in the holder-type packaging member 21, the lid can be removed and the coffee can be taken as it is, and the holder-type packaging member 21 is carried with the store or product trademark printed on the food storage container 10 displayed. There are advantages such as being able to demonstrate advertising functions.

  The handle portion 23 is a member that becomes a handle extending further upward from the upper portion of the packaging member 20. Regardless of the shape or material, the packaging member 20 has a hole that opens upward from the top of the food container 10 regardless of the shape or material, whether it is the holder-type packaging member 21 or the bag-shaped packaging member 24. It is a member to make it easy to take home. 2 (a) and 2 (b), it is described with a configuration having two such handle portions 23, and FIG. 2 (c) is described with a configuration having only one handle portion 23. The number and shape of 23 are not limited to the configurations shown in these drawings, but may be any number or shape that can be grasped and that can wrap around the target food storage container 10 and take it home. In addition, you may provide the hole part for a handle simply instead of the shape which protruded as the handle part 23. FIG.

  The holder-type packaging member 21 is used when the shape of the food storage container 10 is a container having a divergent shape from the bottom to the top, and is a cylindrical holder having an inner diameter smaller than that of the upper opening of the food storage container 10. Therefore, the food storage container 10 can be carried by being fitted in relation to the outer diameter of the food storage container 10. The upper portion is provided with a handle portion 23 that protrudes and opens, and the material is not particularly limited, such as paper, vinyl, elastic rubber, or silicone.

  It is also effective to adopt a configuration in which the holder type packaging member 21 is formed of an elastic material. This is because, when such a configuration is adopted, the food storage container 10 can be firmly held by the elastic force, which contributes to prevention of dropout. In particular, the shape of the container is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and the holder-type packaging member 21 can be used even with a container having a plurality of different cross-sectional shapes (for example, a square shape). However, when adopting such a configuration, it is necessary to extend the food packaging container 10 to a size that can cover the bottom. It should be noted that the selection of the elastic material needs to be determined in consideration of comprehensive considerations such as the relationship between the elastic characteristics and the thickness and the contact resistance with the claw portion 83. Furthermore, it is desirable that the material has biodegradable characteristics in consideration of environmental problems at the time of disposal.

  The bag-shaped packaging member 24 is a bag-shaped member for wrapping and packaging the entire food storage container 10, and is provided with a handle portion 23 that protrudes and opens at the top, and the material is particularly limited to paper or vinyl. Is not to be done.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the cartridge 25 for explaining the shape and type of the cartridge 25 according to the present invention. FIG. FIG. 3B shows the cartridge 25 configured to be cut by acting in the shearing direction when a downward force is applied to the packaging member 20 by the operation of FIG. However, FIG. 3C shows the cartridge 25 configured to be stretched and cut when a downward force is applied by the operation of the arm 80, and FIG. 3C does not require the connecting member 27. The aspect comprised only with the packaging member 20 is shown.

  The cartridge 25 having such a different configuration is that in relation to the shape and the like of the packaging member 20 with respect to the food storage container 10, what arrangement can be used to accurately and accurately separate only one packaging member 20? However, this is only an example, and is not limited to the gist except for other configurations.

  The cartridge 25 is a unit in which a plurality of the packaging members 20 are supplied to the packaging member storage device 70 in a lump so as to be stacked in a stacked manner in order to facilitate the filling operation. Further, since the thickness of the packaging member 20 to be stored is a paper holder-type packaging member 21 and the plastic bag-type packaging member 24 are greatly different, there are different factors such as the number that can be mounted in the cartridge 25. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately adopt a configuration according to the shape, material, and the like of the packaging member 20.

  The contact portion 22 is a step difference in which the claw portion 83 is brought into contact with the back side in the single packaging member 20 folded into the front side and the back side, and is inserted between the front side and the back side. The opening portion 26 is formed by hooking the claw portion 83 only on the front side by the pivoting operation of the arm portion 80.

  The opening 26 is a portion that opens when the packaging member 20 is folded and stored in the packaging member storage device 70 or the cartridge 25 by being pulled down from the contact portion 22 by the claw portion 83. As a mechanism for facilitating the formation of the opening 26, it is effective to provide a protrusion mechanism 85 that protrudes the claw part 83. The protrusion mechanism 85 protrudes from the state in which the claw part 83 is in contact with the contact part 22, When the contact portion 22 is pushed to the back side, the claw portion 83 easily enters the opening 26. For example, when the material is made of paper, in order to facilitate the formation of the opening 26, the folded portion that has been folded once and returned not only to the left and right folded portions, but also to the front and rear of the center. It is also effective to have

  The connecting member 27 is a member that connects the plurality of packaging members 20 so as to be continuously stacked. The connecting member 27 and the packaging member 20 have a configuration that can be cut and separated by a cutout portion 28.

  The cut-out portion 28 can easily separate the plurality of packaging members 20 stacked from the connecting member 27 by perforations or the like. In addition, the structure of the cutout part 28 by a perforation etc. is an illustration as one means for isolate | separating, and the structure which provides a weak part by adhesion | attachment, crimping | compression-bonding, etc. may be sufficient.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the arm portion 80 for explaining the shape and type of the arm portion 80 according to the present invention. The arm portion 80 in FIG. 4 has one arm at the center or two arms on both sides, and FIG. 4 (a) shows the configuration in the case of two on both sides, and FIG. 4 (b) shows the tray of the arm portion 80. 82 shows an example in which the tongue-shaped arm portion 84 has a tongue-shaped shape having an area larger than the bottom surface of the food container 10.

  The arm portion 80 has a claw portion 83 at the front end, a fulcrum 81 near the rear end, a receiving tray 82 for receiving the operation of the food storage container 10 at a substantially central portion, or a substantially tongue-shaped shape having a claw portion 83 at the front end. It is comprised with the tongue piece type | mold arm part 84 which comprises. Further, the arm portion 80 rotates without interfering with the insertion portion 30 when the food container 10 is moved from above to below in at least the insertion portion 30, and the arm portion 80 rotates in the reverse direction. To return to the original position. However, the configuration of the arm unit 80 is merely illustrative, and the configuration of each unit may be related to the arm unit 80 and the regulating unit 91 that exhibit the same work effect in accordance with the rotation operation.

  In the drawing, the shape of the arm portion 80 is shown as a shape bent from the fulcrum 81 to the claw portion 83. However, this shape is obtained by providing a large number of bending portions to the arm portion 80 in the turning operation. This is because a flexible movement is given so as not to apply excessive force to the packaging member 20. Therefore, it is not limited to such a shape. For example, in a state where the food storage container 10 is placed on the receiving tray 82, the claw portion 83 may be formed in a substantially linear shape from the fulcrum 81. In this case, when the claw part 83 is horizontal from the fulcrum 81, the claw part 83 is closest to the packaging member 20, and therefore the angle near the horizontal affects the contact state between the claw part 83 and the contact part 22. It is also effective to configure the shape of the entire arm portion 80 in consideration of such points.

  The fulcrum 81 serves as a center point for rotating the claw portion 83 provided at the tip of the arm portion 80, and repeatedly rotates within the operating range of the arm portion 80 restricted by the horizontal restriction portion 92 and the vertical restriction portion 93. It is a fulcrum 81. In the drawing, a special shaft, a bearing, or the like is not shown at the fulcrum 81, but it is desirable to provide some play in relation to the elastic member 94. However, the configuration in which the rotating shaft and the bearing mechanism are provided is not excluded. Further, the position of the fulcrum 81 affects the required height in the vertical direction depending on the distance between the entire arm portion 80 and the load acting on the tray 82, so it is necessary to appropriately determine the position.

  The tray 82 is a receiving portion for driving the arm portion 80 in accordance with the operation of placing the food storage container 10 and moving the food storage container 10 from above to below. Further, it is desirable that the tray 82 is lowered while maintaining the level in order to move the food container 10 to the bottom as stably as possible.

  The claw portion 83 is provided at the tip of the arm portion 80, and is provided for hooking and lowering the packaging member 20 stored from the packaging member storage device 70 to the contact portion 22 of the packaging member 20 in order to pull out only a part. A material having a friction coefficient with a contact resistance is desirable, and the claw portion 83 is made of silicone, elastomer, or rubber so that the size and shape are appropriately changed depending on the shape of the packaging member 20 and the like. It is effective to use a material having a large coefficient of friction so that only the front side is pulled accurately after contacting the contact portion 22 of the packaging member 20.

  The protruding mechanism 85 is a mechanism that presses the claw 83 from the tip of the arm portion 80 to protrude, and stores the packaging member 20 in the cartridge 25 by the extrusion mechanism 71 that pushes out the food storage container 10 from the back side of the cartridge 25. Even if the number decreases, the claw portion 83 presses the food storage container 10 from the contact portion 22 so as to be pulled down one by one.

  The tongue-shaped arm 84 forms a groove having a curved surface that guides part of the bottom surface of the food storage container 10 in the tray 82 having a tongue-like shape, and pushes down the food storage container 10 downward. It is desirable to adopt a configuration that allows stable operation without blurring. Although not shown in the drawings, as a mechanism for stabilizing the downward movement of the food storage container 10, it is also effective to employ a configuration in which a plurality of arm-shaped restriction members are provided and guided in the insertion portion 30. It is.

  5 to 9, the restricting portion 91 is provided with a horizontal restricting portion 92 and a vertical restricting portion 93, and the arm portion 80 has a restricted portion that is restricted correspondingly. A configuration is shown in which they are provided and contacted, and the rotation operation is restricted within the range. The configuration of the regulation is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, and the pivoting operation is performed by contacting the regulation unit 91 corresponding to the horizontal regulation unit 92 and the vertical regulation unit 93. It only needs to be regulated. The packaging member 20 shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 is an example of the holder-type packaging member 21.

  The restricting portion 91 restricts the range in the rotational movement of the arm portion 80, and restricts the tray 82 to be positioned in the horizontal direction in a normal state, and the arm portion that moves the food storage container 10 downward from above. 80 is rotated so that the claw portion 83 is exposed from the gap formed between the food container 10 and the packaging member 20 so as to return to the original state. In order to return to the original state by such regulation, an elastic member 94 having elastic characteristics is used.

  The elastic member 94 is based on the arm portion 80 extracted from the packaging member 20 attached to the food storage container 10 after the arm portion 80 is rotated in accordance with the operation of moving the food storage container 10 from above to below. It is effective to use a rubber or a coil spring having an elastic characteristic, which is a member for returning to the position. It is also desirable to provide a stable mechanism by providing a damping mechanism in the elastic member 94 so as to attenuate the operating speed of the arm portion 80 that returns to the original position by the elastic member 94 such as a coil spring.

  FIG. 5 shows an initial operation state of the food container packaging device 1 according to the present invention. In this state, the arm portion 80 puts the food storage container 10 in a state of extending substantially horizontally, and at this time, the claw portion 83 abuts the packaging member 20 disposed on the most insertion portion 30 side in the cart rich 25. The state which contacted the part 22 and entered between the contact part 22 and the edge part by the side of the insertion part 30 used as the opening part 26 is shown. Before the operation immediately before this, it is not shown in the drawing, but in the state before the operation, the claw portion 83 is located at the contact portion 22 slightly above the gap, and the food container 10 is placed on the tray 82, The arm portion 80 starts rotating and enters the state shown in FIG.

  6 shows that the claw portion 83 provided at the tip of the arm portion 80 is one sheet on the near side from the contact portion 22 of the packaging member 20 by the packaging member drawing device 90 of the food container packaging device 1 according to the present invention. The initial state is shown in which the packaging member 20 is opened only by being hooked on the.

  FIG. 7 shows a state in which the arm member 80 opens the packaging member 20 and wraps around the packaging member 20 having the food storage container 10 opened by the packaging member pulling device 90 of the food storage container packaging device 1 according to the present invention. Is shown.

  FIG. 8 shows the food storage container packaging apparatus 1 according to the present invention, in which the food storage container 10 is positioned downward, the arm portion 80 is substantially perpendicular to the insertion portion 30, and the opening 26 of the holder-type packaging member 21 An initial state of being pulled out from between the food storage containers 10 is shown. In this case, when the packaging member 20 is made of a stretchable material, it must be opened larger than the bottom of the food container 10 as shown in FIG. It is desirable to use those. On the other hand, since the opening 26 does not expand and contract in the paper-made holder-type packaging member 21, it is different from the state shown in FIG. That is, since the paper holder-type packaging member 21 does not have enough space between the opening hole portion to be opened and the food storage container 10, the arm portion 80 is deformed along the tapered inclination of the food storage container 10. It is desirable to have

  FIG. 9 shows a state in which the food storage container 10 is pulled down from the upper part of the insertion part 30 to the upper surface of the base part 60 in the food storage container packaging apparatus 1 according to the present invention. In FIG. 9, the arm portion 80 is still shown in a state of being lowered downward. Thereafter, the arm portion 80 is reverse to the conventional state as the food container 10 is pulled forward. You may provide the rotation mechanism which rotates in a direction and returns to the original position, or tracks a near side.

  By setting the mounting position of the push-out mechanism 71 that presses the packaging member 20 from the back substantially upward, a slight escape is allowed below the packaging member 20 in the cartridge 25, and the arm portion 80 pushes out the contact portion 22.

In the drawing, the shape of the arm portion 80 is shown as a shape bent from the fulcrum 81 to the claw portion 83. However, this shape is obtained by providing a large number of bending portions to the arm portion 80 in the turning operation. This is because a flexible movement is given so that an excessive load is not applied to the packaging member 20. Therefore, it is not limited to such a shape. For example, in a state where the food storage container 10 is placed on the receiving tray 82, the claw portion 83 may be formed in a substantially linear shape from the fulcrum 81. In this case, when the claw part 83 is horizontal from the fulcrum 81, the claw part 83 is closest to the packaging member 20, and therefore the angle near the horizontal affects the contact state between the claw part 83 and the contact part 22. It is also effective to configure the shape of the entire arm portion 80 in consideration of such points.
