Description

The present invention relates to a food packaging container that can be placed upright so that, for example, when various foods are packed for sale at a store, the packed foods and the like can be displayed in a standing position so that they can be visually recognized in a list. ..

Conventionally, when various foods are displayed and sold at supermarkets, convenience stores, etc., they are lined up on product shelves, etc. by packing them in a transparent container in a predetermined amount and packing them. Most of them are arranged on each of the display shelves that are configured in multiple stages, and if it is a flat shelf so that the buyer can see each of the packed products, the shelf board in the upper position can be stacked. If you arrange them on the top, you cannot easily check the product contents. For that purpose, for example, by inclining the shelf board itself, the contents of the product in the container on the shelf board can be viewed as it is.

In addition, when the products to be displayed and sold are grapes such as Muscat and Kyoho, the grain shape may be a little large, so the container itself containing this may be flatbed so that the entire bunch can be seen at a glance. By standing on a shelf board, the product can be appealed to buyers and customers.

Under these circumstances, when arranging containers on a flatbed or non-tilted shelf board, the container itself containing food etc. can be erected or tilted so that the product contents can be appealed. A packaging container that makes it easy to see the food in the container has also been proposed. For example, it is a tray-type food container that can be placed upright as shown in Patent Document 1, a tray for food display shown in Patent Document 2, and a display storage container shown in Patent Document 3.

The container of Patent Document 1 allows the container itself to stand in a state of being supported by a flange edge formed in the opening of the container body and a bottom edge of the container body. The tray of Patent Document 2 allows the container body to be tilted and supported by the legs protruding from the bottom of the container body. In the container of Patent Document 3, the container body and the lid, which have a substantially right-angled triangular shape when viewed from the side surface, are connected so as to be able to be fitted and opened and closed, and when they are closed to each other, they are viewed from the side surface. It has a diamond shape, and foods and the like are erected inside and stored and arranged.

However, in the container of Patent Document 1, since the container itself is not deep and has a shallow bottom shape, the distance between the flange edge and the bottom edge is not large when it is erected, so that it lacks stability and easily falls down by a slight external force. It ends up. Further, since the tray of Patent Document 2 has a shallow bottom shape and the height of the legs themselves is low, the tray as a whole only rises at a slight angle, and even if it is arranged on a shelf board, for example. The space has to be large. This is because the container of Patent Document 3 is only supported at three points, that is, the edge of the fitting portion of the container and the upper and lower edges of the inclined surface formed on the side wall of the container body when the inside of the container body is erected so as to be visible. , When the stored product is bulky in weight, the stability when standing is not sufficient.

Therefore, the present invention was created in view of various existing circumstances such as the above. For example, when a product such as Muscat or Kyoho, which is slightly bulky in weight, is stored and supported, it is supported. It can be placed upright by further increasing stability so that it will not easily collapse due to external force, for example, it can be effectively used even in a narrow display space, and the product characteristics can be greatly appealed to buyers, customers, etc. The purpose is to provide various food packaging containers.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a container body 1 having a reinforcing flange 2 is formed in a vertically long opening having a short side having an appropriate width when viewed from a plane, and the container body 1 is formed. Along the short side of one of the bottoms of the sill, a stance support portion 4 having a width corresponding to the width of the short side and projecting outward is formed, and the stance support portion 4 on the short side on which the stance support portion 4 is formed is formed. The upper and lower edges of the stance auxiliary support portion 5 recessed inward of the container body 1 on the side wall are formed as obtuse-angled ground contact ends 6, and the edges of the reinforcing flange 2, the upper and lower ground contact ends 6, and the stance support portion 4 are formed. It is characterized in that four points on the outer edge of the base corner are arranged on the same line.
The opening of the container body 1 can be formed into a vertically long octagonal shape by chamfering both corners of the short side in an oblique manner.
The stance auxiliary support portion 5 can be formed by symmetrically arranging and forming each of the side walls on the short side, and by forming a curved shape in an arc shape in the cross section.
The stance support portion 4 and the stance auxiliary support portion 5 can be configured to have substantially the same width as the bottom width and the side wall width in the width direction of the container body 1.

In the food packaging container that can be placed upright according to the present invention configured as described above, when the container body 1 is erected with the stance support portion 4 formed on the bottom of the container body 1 facing down, the reinforcing flange 2 A total of four points, the edge of the stance support portion 4, the bottom edge of the stance support portion 4, and the upper and lower ground contact ends 6 of the stance auxiliary support portion 5 on the side wall on the short side side of the stance support portion 4, are grounded on the mounting surface to stand.
The width of the stance support portion 4 is approximately the same as the width of the bottom of the container body 1 and the width of the stance auxiliary support portion 5 is approximately the same as the width of the side wall. Stabilize the ground contact state at the time.
The stance auxiliary support portion 5 curved on the inner side of the container body 1 enhances the strength of the side wall of the container body 1 and is not bent by the weight of the grape G or the like stored in the container body 1, and supports the stance. The shape retention of the container body 1 when standing upright is maintained together with the part 4.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, for example, the container body 1 can be arranged and arranged in a standing position with the grape G or the like stored, and the stored products or the like can be collectively displayed to the purchaser, the customer, or the like. It can be shown, and its stability can be improved by supporting it on the ground at four points when it is placed upright, and it can be efficiently displayed and arranged by reducing the arrangement space when it is upright.

That is, in the present invention, the stance support portion 4 is formed at the bottom of the container body 1 having the reinforcing flange 2 in the vertically long opening, and the stance is recessed in the side wall of the container body 1 on the stance support portion 4 side. The upper and lower edges of the auxiliary support portion 5 are formed as ground contact ends 6, and the four points of the edge portion of the reinforcing flange 2, the upper and lower ground contact ends 6, and the outer edge of the bottom corner of the stance support portion 4 are arranged on the same line. Because. As a result, the support stability when the container body 1 is erected so as to show the stored products such as grape G can be improved, and the arrangement space at the time of display can be effectively used.

Further, since the stance support portion 4 and the stance auxiliary support portion 5 have substantially the same width as the bottom width and the side wall width in the width direction of the container body 1, when the container body 1 is placed upright by the stance support portion 4. , Prevents lateral inclination, inversion, etc.

By making the opening shape of the container body 1 a vertically long octagonal shape, for example, a bunch of grape G such as Muscat and Kyoho can be stored in a good-looking manner, and by displaying it in a standing state, the purchaser etc. can list the product contents in a list. Can be shown to.

The container body 1 can be reinforced by the stance support portion 4 protruding outward from the bottom of the container body 1 and the stance auxiliary support portion 5 recessed inward by the side wall, and the container body 1 can also be reinforced by a heavy grape G or the like. Will not be distorted or damaged.

It should be noted that the reference numerals added in each of the means for solving the above-mentioned problems and the section of the effect of the invention are added in order to facilitate reference with the parts indicating the constituent parts described in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the structure, shape, etc. indicated by these descriptions, reference numerals, etc. in the drawings.

It is a perspective view which shows one embodiment for carrying out this invention. It is also a side view of the used state in which it is placed upright. It is also a side view in another usage state.

Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in the drawings is, for example, a container body molded from a transparent synthetic resin thin film sheet material, and the container body 1 is For example, in order to store a bunch of grapes G such as Muscat and Kyoho, they are formed to have a predetermined width, length, depth and the like which are vertically long octagonal shapes when viewed from a plane.

As shown in the figure, the container body 1 itself is formed into a vertically long octagonal shape as a whole when viewed from a plane by chamfering both corners on the short side side in a vertically long rectangular shape to form an inclined edge. The side walls of the surrounding short side, long side, and sloped side are sloping walls that gradually become narrower from the opening to the bottom. The container body 1 has an internal volume that follows the outer shape of, for example, a bunch of grape G to be stored, and has an internal volume sufficient for storing a bunch of grape G, and has a folded shape at the opening edge of the container body 1. The reinforced flange 2 is formed. Needless to say, the food to be stored is not limited to grape G.

Further, for example, a plurality of groove-shaped reinforcing grooves 3 along the depth direction are formed over the entire side wall of the container body 1.

A leg-shaped stance support 4 is formed by projecting outward from the container body 1 with a width corresponding to the width at the bottom of the container body 1 along the side wall on one of the short sides of the container body 1. It has been formed. On the inclined side wall of the short side on the side where the stance support portion 4 is formed, a stance auxiliary support portion 5 which is slightly recessed in an arc shape is formed on the inner side of the container body 1, and the stance support portion 5 is formed. The upper and lower edges of the support portion 5 are continuous with the inclined side wall and the obtuse-angled ground contact end 6.

In the container body 1 of the illustrated example, a stance auxiliary support portion 5 is formed on each of the inclined side walls of the short sides facing each other, thereby further increasing the reinforcement of the inclined side walls on the short sides. Can be made to.

The edges of the reinforcing flange 2, the upper and lower grounding ends 6 of the stance auxiliary support portion 5, and the outer edge of the bottom of the stance support portion 4 are arranged so as to be located on the same line, and the stance support portion 4 side. When the container body 1 is erected with the short side of the container facing downward (see FIG. 2), the container body 1 can be erected by contacting these four points on the mounting surface. At this time, the rising angle of the container body 1 is, for example, about 57 degrees with respect to the installation surface, but is not limited to this, and the container body 1 itself does not fall backward due to the weight of the stored grape G or the like. I am doing it.

Further, the container body 1 can be erected with the stance support portion 4 positioned on the rear side. In this case, the container body 1 is inclined so as to be slightly raised, and the angle with the installation surface is, for example, approximately approximately. It is said to be around 15 degrees (see FIG. 3).

Next, to explain an example of the use of this, for example, a bunch of grape G is stored in the container body 1, and if necessary, it is displayed in a store or the like with an appropriate lid, and the stance support portion 4 is lowered. By placing the container body 1 on the mounting surface so as to stand on the side, that is, on the front side, the stored products such as grape G and the like can be shown to the purchaser and the like in a list. At this time, the container body 1 itself is grounded to the mounting surface by a total of four locations: the edge of the reinforcing flange 2, the upper and lower grounding ends 6 of the stance auxiliary support portion 5, and the bottom outer edge of the stance support portion 4. The state in which the main body 1 is erected is stably maintained.

Moreover, since the mounting area of the container body 1 can be reduced by erecting the container body 1, the number of display spaces arranged per unit area can be doubled (see FIG. 2).

Alternatively, the container body 1 in which the stance support portion 4 is located on the rear side is placed on the mounting surface so as to be raised to some extent, and the container body 1 has a bottom corner outer surface and a bottom outer surface of the stance support 4. The tilted display state of the container body 1 is maintained at the two points of. In this case, since the container body 1 rises at a slight angle from the installation surface, the number of containers arranged per unit area does not change.

It should be noted that which rising or rising form is selected is appropriately selected depending on the contents of the stored product, the size of the arranged area, and the like.
