BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable and convenient packaging case for storing decoration cakes such as birthday cakes and Christmas cakes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a packaging case for accommodating and carrying a columnar or frusto-conical decoration cake having a predetermined diameter and height, various structures have been proposed. Generally, a shallow container body with a low peripheral wall that stands as a guide for the lid is set slightly inward from the periphery of a square tray on which decoration cakes are placed, and a depth greater than the height of the cake. Has side walls of
A paper box made of a lid body fitted on the peripheral wall of the container body is commonly used. In such a type of packaging case, after placing cakes on the tray that constitutes the container body, cover the container body with the lid along the guide of the tray, and then attach the entire packaging case with ribbon etc. In addition to tying the container body and lid together so that they will not come off, when carrying it, the ribbon is hooked with fingers, or a separately prepared handle is hung on the bound ribbon.

[0003]

In the packaging case having the above-described structure, the lid body is basically covered by using the side wall of the shallow container body integrally formed with the flange along the peripheral edge as a guide. Since the opening of the above is abutted against the flange and closed, the means for preventing separation of the two is to bind the entire packaging case with a ribbon, or
At present, it does not exist except to be connected by a seal. However, the fixing means using the ribbon is
It takes a lot of time for bundling and is complicated, and the fixing means by the seal has many problems to be solved in practical use such as the possibility that the seal may be peeled off when carrying because the cake has a relatively heavy weight. .

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging which has an extremely simple structure and is easy to manufacture, and which can easily and surely connect a tray on which cakes are placed and a lid. It is what

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the packaging case of the present invention comprises a shallow-bottomed container body in which guides of low height are provided upright along the periphery of the tray.
A lid that can be closed by forming a side wall deeper than the height of the cakes to be stored in the periphery of a top plate with a handle in the center and contactingly fitted inside the guide of the container body. And a slit for insertion of a predetermined length is formed on the lower edges of at least one pair of guides facing each other on one container body, and the other lid has a side wall corresponding to the slit. Tongue-shaped insert pieces each having a width substantially equal to the length of the slit are provided on the lower edge and extend downward, and the insert pieces are inserted into the slits from the outside of the container body to cover the container body. It is characterized in that it is configured to be closed by the body.

The packaging case of the present invention comprises a shallow-bottomed container body and a lid which covers the container body from above, both of which are used for relatively rigid paper boxes such as cardboard. It is preferably formed of a material, but a plastic plate, plastic laminated paper, a thin plate of a light metal such as aluminum, or the like can be advantageously used.

In the shallow-bottomed container body, a guide having a low height is integrally provided so as to surround the peripheral edge of the tray, and a predetermined lower edge of the guide is in contact with the tray at the center of the opposing guide. A slit for inserting the length of the slit is formed.When the slit is formed, a notch is provided at the lower edge portion of the guide continuous with the tray, and the notch piece formed by this notch is tilted outward, By locating the cut piece on the same plane as the cut piece, the cut piece protrudes from the guide and can be used as a guide for inserting the insert piece formed in the lid. The size and shape of the tray that constitutes the container body can be appropriately selected depending on the cakes to be stored, and accordingly, the container body and the lid can also have any size and shape.

One of the lids is formed by integrally forming a side wall surrounding the periphery of the top plate and deeper than the height of the cakes to be stored. It is brought into contact with and engaged with the inside of the guide of the container body. Then, at approximately the center of the lower edge of each side wall corresponding to the slit formed in the container body, an insert piece having the same width as the slit is integrally extended downward, and the insert piece is folded. The container body and the lid body are integrally coupled by inserting the insertion piece through the slit, and the side wall connected to the insertion piece is directed upward, and the insertion piece is appropriately cut to have the same width as the insertion piece. If it is movable with respect to the slit, the insertion of the insertion piece into the slit can be further facilitated.

The packaging case consisting of the shallow container body and the lid is carried by attaching a handle to the lid, and the method of attaching the bank to the lid is not particularly limited. However, for example, an elongated slit is formed in the center of the top plate, and the gripping part formed in the center of the substrate is projected from below the slit, and the base plate connected to the lower edge of the gripping part is fixed to the back surface of the top plate. There is a way to do it.

[0010]

In the packaging case of the present invention, cakes are placed on the tray of the container body with the container body and the lid body separated from each other, and the side wall of the lid body is fitted inside the guide erected on the container body. The lid body is covered with the lid body, and the pair of insertion pieces provided on the lid body are inserted into the slits of the container body to close the lid body, and can be easily and surely carried by the handle provided on the lid body. In order to take out cakes from this packaging case, it is possible to easily release the connection between the container body and the lid body by the reverse operation of pulling out the insertion piece of the lid body from the slit of the container body. It is very easy to take out the kind.
