BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container packaging tool used for carrying or displaying canned beer or canned juice.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, packaging tools are used to carry around four to eight bottles of canned beer or canned juice. FIG. 5 shows an example of a conventional packaging tool. Packaging tool 1a
Is provided with a fitting body 10a made of a plastic sheet having quasi-rigidity and a gripper 12a. The fitting body 10a is provided with three fitting parts 14a arranged in two rows of three pieces and formed by projecting at a total of six places. Insertion ports 16a are provided at substantially two central portions along the center line of the fitting body 10a. The gripper 12a is attached to the insertion opening 16a by inserting both ends. Hook plates 13a are provided at both ends of the gripping body 12a so as to be inclined, so that they are hard to come off after being attached. Then, when the fitting portions 14a are fitted into the six cans arranged in a line, the cans can be carried together with the holding body 12a.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned conventional packaging tool has the following problems. That is,
Although the fitting body 10a is formed of a printable plastic sheet, it has a drawback that even if a colorful advertising surface is provided by printing, it is difficult to read because the unevenness of the fitting portion 14 is provided on the surface. For this reason, the advertisement provided on the fitted body 10a is about the logo mark provided simultaneously on the surface of the fitted part 14a when the fitted body 10a is injection-molded. I can't say. Further, in the conventional mounting structure of the gripping body 12a,
The strength of the insertion opening 16a is not sufficient, and the retaining plate 13a of the gripping body 12a has a very small area and abuts against the peripheral edge of the insertion opening 16a. There is a concern that the device will break and come off.

[0004]

The means of the present invention taken to solve the above problems are as follows. That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a packaging tool for a container, the packaging tool having rigidity or semi-rigidity, and a packaging base attached to an upper portion of the container; Or a gripper that cooperates with the packaging base during transportation; the packaging base includes a required number of engaging portions or fitting portions for engaging or fitting containers. A gripper provided through an insertion opening formed in the packaging base; provided at a lower portion of the gripper, externally fitted to and surrounding one or more containers, An annular holding member formed in a size that can be moved in the vertical direction. When the holding body is pulled up when lifting or transporting the container, the holding member is brought into contact with the lower side of the packaging base. This is a container packaging tool that is brought into contact and locked. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a container packaging tool according to the first aspect of the present invention in which an advertisement surface is provided on a holding member.

[0005] The rigidity or semi-rigidity in the present invention means a strength capable of holding a container such as a can or a bottle containing contents by a fitting portion formed of a certain material. The packaging substrate is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin such as a plastic sheet, but is not limited thereto. The shape of the fitting portion is usually formed so as to conform to the shape of the top of the can or bottle (on the side of the drinking spout), but is not limited thereto as long as the top of the can or bottle can be securely held. Shape may be sufficient.
The gripper of the gripper is inserted so that it can be moved to the insertion opening of the packaging base, and when the packaging base is fitted to a can or bottle,
It can move up and down together with the holding member. The material of the holding member is, for example, a synthetic resin sheet, a synthetic resin film, paper, synthetic paper, or the like, but any other material may be used as long as it has a strength enough to withstand the load applied when it is held and gripped. . The structure of the holding member is, for example, a band-like structure, or a structure in which a display plate indicating an advertisement is provided on an annular body formed of a wire. Further, the ring shape in the present invention is not limited to a circular shape, and may be, for example, a polygon such as an ellipse or a quadrangle.
