Description

  The present invention relates to a collective carrier for carrying a plurality of cans together.

  Generally, what is called a multipack as shown in FIG. 7 is used as a collective carrier made of paperboard for carrying a plurality of beverage-containing cans together (see Patent Document 1 below).

  In this collective carrier, a side plate 52 and a bottom plate 53 are sequentially arranged on both sides of the top plate 51, and an insertion piece 54 and an engagement piece 54 a are inserted into one bottom plate 53 and the other bottom plate 53 is inserted. A hole 55 and an engagement hole 55a are provided, and the folding piece 56 connected to the edge of the side plate 52 near the top plate 51 and the corner portion of the top plate 51 are connected by the holding piece 56a.

  From the bottom plate 53 on both sides to the lower part of the side plate 52, a fixed piece 57 having a rounded tip is formed by cutting corresponding to the bottom of the can C, and at the base and intermediate part of the fixed piece 57, Fold lines 57a and 57b extending in the width direction are respectively entered.

  The top plate 51 is formed with a push-in piece 58 that forms a finger insertion hole for transportation, and a zipper-type cut line in which bowl-shaped cuts are interrupted to cut out and take out the can C at the time of opening. 59 is put.

  When packaging a plurality of cans C aligned by such a collective carrier, a top plate 51 is placed on the upper surface of the cans C, the side plate 52 is bent downward, the bottom plate 53 is bent inward, and the bottom plates on both sides are covered. The engagement piece 54a and the engagement hole 55a of 53 are engaged, and the insertion piece 54 is inserted into the insertion hole 55, and is held in a sleeve shape surrounding the can C.

  Accordingly, the folding piece 56 is folded, the holding piece 56a is placed along the outer periphery of the can C, the fixing piece 57 is bent in a Z shape along the crease line 57a and the crease line 57b, and the tip of the fixing piece 57 The can is engaged with the peripheral edge of the recess on the bottom surface of the can C to prevent the can C from coming off from the opening on the end surface.

  The collective carrier as described above wraps a plurality of aligned cans C from the top to the bottom, so the cans C are excellent in retention and protection, but the paper usage area is large and can be discarded. There is a problem that it becomes bulky.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 below describes a clip-type collective carrier that holds only the upper portions of a plurality of aligned cans C, as shown in FIG.

  In this collective carrier, an upper top plate 62 is connected to one side of the lower top plate 61 surrounding the outer edge of the upper surface of the aligned cans C, and a side plate 63 is connected to the other side. An insertion hole 64 into which the upper portion of each is fitted is formed, and a plurality of locking pieces 65 are extended around the insertion hole 64 via a hinge portion 65a.

  When packaging a plurality of cans C aligned by such a collective carrier, the upper part of the cans C is fitted into the fitting holes 64 from the lower top plate 61 to the upper side.

Accordingly, the locking piece 65 is pushed by the tapered portion C ₁ of the upper periphery of the can C, the locking piece 65 from the periphery of the insertion hole 64 are raised up as an axis of the hinge portion 65a, the tip of the locking piece 65 the lip portion C ₂ of the upper end outer periphery of the can C in contact with, from falling off the insertion hole 64 of the can C is prevented.

  Thereafter, the side plate 63 is bent upward, the upper top plate 62 is bent so as to cover the upper surfaces of the aligned cans C, and the side plate 63 and the upper top plate 62 are engaged with each other.

  Such a clip-type collective carrier can reduce the packaging cost and generate waste because the paper use area is small compared to the sleeve-like collective carrier that wraps the can C as shown in FIG. There is an advantage that the amount can be suppressed.

Registered Utility Model No. 3176309 US Pat. No. 5,415,278

However, in the clip-type collective carrier as shown in FIG. 8, when the can C is transported, the locking piece 65 is easily bent, and the folding direction of the locking piece 65 is reversed downward so that the locking piece 65 and the can When the engagement of the C lip portion C ₂ is disengaged, there is a risk that cans C may drop.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a collective transporter that can hold and carry cans while suppressing the area of paper used.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the collective carrier for cans according to the present invention is provided with holes for insertion of the upper portions of the cans in the top plate surrounding the outer edges of the upper surfaces of the aligned cans. Around the hole, a plurality of holding tongue pieces are extended through the hinge part, and a locking projection is formed by cutting from the intermediate part of the hinge part to the top plate,
The holding tongue piece is bent to the lower outer side of the insertion hole with the hinge portion as an axis, and accordingly, the locking projection protrudes to the upper inner side of the insertion hole,
The holding tongue piece is pressed against the tapered portion of the upper outer periphery of the can inserted in the insertion hole by the repulsion of the bending, and the lip portion on the outer periphery of the upper end of the can by the pushing force generated with respect to the can It is assumed that the locking projections are engaged with each other.

  In addition, in order to be able to hang and carry with one hand, the top plate is provided with two finger insertion holes in a portion between the insertion holes.

  In addition, in order to ensure the required strength without increasing the processing cost due to the increase in the use area of the paper or the bonding, reinforcing pieces are continuously provided on the outer periphery of the top plate, and the gap between the insertion holes is Since the reinforcing piece is bent to the back side of the top plate at a portion and sandwiched between the back side of the top plate and the base of the holding tongue piece, the superposition state of the top plate and the reinforcing piece is maintained. is there.

  In the collective carrier according to the present invention, the holding tongue piece and the locking projection are in a seesaw-like relationship, and the holding tongue piece is inclined downward toward the outside of the insertion hole along the tapered portion of the upper portion of the can. Since the upper portion of the locking projection protrudes into the insertion hole and engages with the lip portion on the outer periphery of the upper end of the can, the holding tongue piece and the locking projection are firmly prevented from bending and reversing.

  In addition, since the holding tongue piece that contacts the taper portion of the upper outer periphery of the can can be set so that the protruding amount from the hinge portion is larger than the locking piece of the conventional clip-type collective carrier, the can The effect of suppressing the swing of the is improved.

  For this reason, multiple aligned cans can be securely held and carried without wrapping from the top to the bottom so that they do not fall off, reducing the paper usage area and reducing packaging costs. The amount of waste generated can be suppressed.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this collective carrier is a clip type that holds only the upper portions of six cans C arranged in two rows of three, and is a blank obtained by punching water-resistant paperboard. In the state, the shape is as shown in FIG.

  In this blank, a rectangular top plate 1 having round corners is drilled so that six insertion holes 2 are arranged in two rows of three.

  Around the insertion hole 2, a holding tongue piece 3 whose entire circumference is divided into eight is extended toward the center of the insertion hole 2 via a hinge part 4, and a cut from the intermediate part of the hinge part 4 to the top plate 1 is made. As a result, a small piece of locking projection 5 is formed.

  Although the ruled line pressed from the surface of the paperboard is put in the hinge part 4, if there is little difference in the width between the holding tongue piece 3 and the base of the locking projection 5, the ruled line may be omitted. Good.

  The periphery of the fitting hole 2 is formed by the hinge portion 4 as the holding tongue piece 3 is bent, and has an octagonal shape close to a circle.

  Further, the top plate 1 is provided with two finger insertion holes 6 that are opened by pressing in a portion between the insertion holes 2 arranged in the length direction and the width direction.

  Further, reinforcing pieces 7 are continuously provided on the outer peripheral sides of the top plate 1 via crease lines 7a so as to protrude corresponding to the portions between the insertion holes 2. In the crease line 7a, long cuts are intermittent in order to reduce bending resistance.

  In order to be able to carry together six cans as a sales unit by such a collective carrier, using a jig or the like of a packaging machine, first, from the above blank state, as shown in FIG. The reinforcing piece 7 is bent along the crease line 7a toward the back side of the top plate 1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the holding tongue piece 3 around each insertion hole 2 of the top plate 1 is bent outwardly from the insertion hole 2 with the hinge portion 4 as an axis. At this time, since the holding tongue piece 3 and the locking protrusion 5 are in a seesaw-like relationship with the hinge portion 4 as a fulcrum, the locking protrusion 5 is interlocked with the holding tongue piece 3 and the fitting hole 2 is inserted. It will be in the state protruded to the upper inner side.

1, 3, and 4, when the upper portion of the can C is inserted into the insertion hole 2, the holding tongue piece 3 is bent at the hinge portion 4 to the tapered portion C ₁ on the outer periphery of the upper portion of the can C. Due to the repulsion, the locking projection 5 is engaged with the lip C ₂ on the outer periphery of the upper end of the can C by the pushing force generated by the repulsion, and the can C is fixed to the top plate 1. Is done.

  Further, since the reinforcing piece 7 is sandwiched between the back surface of the top plate 1 and the base of the holding tongue piece 3, the top plate 1 and the reinforcing piece 7 can be connected to each other without bonding the reinforcing piece 7 to the top plate 1 with an adhesive or the like. The polymerization state is maintained, and the top plate 1 is reinforced at the portion between the insertion holes 2.

In the collective carrier as described above, with the upper portion of the can C inserted into the insertion hole 2 of the top plate 1, the holding tongue piece 3 is inclined downward to the outside of the insertion hole 2 and the upper portion of the can C is along the tapered portion C _1, Accordingly, it projects the upper portion of the locking projection 5 to the inside of the insertion hole 2, so engaging the lip portion C ₂ of the upper end outer periphery of the can C, holding tongues 3 and engaging Bending and reversal of the stop protrusion 5 are firmly prevented.

Further, the holding tongues 3 in contact with the tapered portion C ₁ of the upper periphery of the can C, and compared to the engaging piece 65 of the collection vehicle of the clip-on, as shown in prior art Figure 8, from the hinge portion 4 Since it can set so that protrusion amount may become large, the effect which suppresses rocking | fluctuation of the can C improves.

  For this reason, without wrapping the six cans C aligned from the top to the bottom, hook the fingers into the finger insertion holes 6 that are opened as they are pushed in and hang them with one hand to ensure that the cans C do not fall off. Can be carried in a held state.

  In addition to reducing the use area of the paperboard necessary for manufacturing, the packaging cost can be reduced, and the amount of waste generated after use can be suppressed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the reinforcing piece 7 is overlapped on the back surface of the top board 1, but the reinforcing piece 7 may be omitted depending on the material of the paperboard and the weight of the can C to be held.

  Moreover, although what hold | maintains the six cans C collectively was illustrated, it is good also as what hold | maintains the cans C more or less than six collectively, considering the weight and diameter of the cans C. In that case, it is necessary to provide the finger insertion hole 6 at a position where the balance can be achieved when carrying the finger insertion hole 6.
