Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a liquid container for containing mineral water, juice and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Many of such conventional liquid containers have a cylindrical shape. However, when a large number of such liquid containers are to be stored in a large transport box or the like for transportation and storage, the cylindrical shape has poor storage efficiency. Therefore, a rectangular parallelepiped container with a rectangular horizontal cross section is also used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Considering the efficiency of transportation and storage, it is desirable to stack liquid containers one above the other. However, the conventional rectangular parallelepiped containers cannot be stacked on top of each other, and even if they are piled up, there is a problem that the storage efficiency for the space around the cap is poor.

Another problem is that when a plurality of liquid containers are placed side by side on a display rack or the like, the sides of the conventional rectangular parallelepiped liquid container are almost flat, so that the edges are aligned. It means that it takes a lot of time to arrange them.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to improve the storage efficiency during transportation, storage, etc., and to easily arrange it on a horizontal surface. It is to provide a liquid container whose ends can be neatly aligned.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A liquid container according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems includes (1) a) a substantially rectangular parallelepiped main body, and b) an upper slope that is provided on the upper part of the main body and is recessed toward the upper part. Part, c) a liquid container having a cap part provided at the tip of the upper slope part, and d) a cap housing part for housing the cap part, d2) an upper part, and d2) an upper part. In addition to providing a bottom sloped surface corresponding to the sloped surface, and e) providing protrusions on two side surfaces of the main body, and f) providing recesses corresponding to the protrusions on the other two side surfaces. It is a feature.

The liquid container of the present invention may be as follows. (2) The main body is divided into an upper main body and a lower main body with a constriction as a boundary, and one of the upper main body and the lower main body has a convex portion on the two side surfaces and another The side surface is provided with a concave portion, and the other main body portion is provided with a concave portion on four side surfaces. (For example, a convex portion is provided on two side surfaces of the upper main body portion, a concave portion is provided on the other two side surfaces, and a concave portion is provided on four side surfaces of the lower main body portion.) (3) The horizontal cross section of the main body portion is substantially square. . (4) The convex portion is provided on two adjacent side surfaces. (5) The convex portion and the concave portion are provided with a plurality of uneven lines extending in the horizontal direction.

[0008]

[Operation and effect of the device]

 When the body containers according to the present invention are vertically stacked, the upper cap portion of the main body is accommodated in the cap accommodating portion provided in the bottom portion, and the upper slope portion is accommodated in the bottom slope portion (the bottom slope portion). Since the parts are formed corresponding to the upper slopes, both slopes can be stacked closely without any gaps because both slopes are almost closely attached. This maximizes storage efficiency in the up and down directions.

On the other hand, in the horizontal direction, the convex portions provided on the two side surfaces of the main body portion and the concave portions provided on the other two side surfaces are fitted together, and the storage efficiency is maximized here as well. In addition, when a plurality of liquid containers (containers filled with mineral water, juice, etc. as products) are placed side by side on a display shelf or the like, the fitting of the convex portion and the concave portion is displaced from each other. Since it does not permit the work, it is possible to arrange neatly and neatly without labor of the operator.

The body part is divided into an upper part and a lower part with a constricted part as a boundary, and recesses are provided on all four side surfaces of one of the upper body part and the lower body part, so that the liquid container can be easily held by hand. Become. In order to obtain the above-mentioned fitting effect, naturally, the other main body portion has a convex portion on two side surfaces and a concave portion on the other two side surfaces.

By making the horizontal cross section of the container substantially square, the storage efficiency in storing in a large transport box or the like is generally improved, and the storage is easily automated.

By providing the convex portions on the two adjacent side surfaces, all of the containers are arranged in the same direction when two-dimensionally displaying in a horizontal direction (two opposing surfaces are convex and another opposing two surfaces are If the surface is concave, it is necessary to change the direction of the adjacent container by 90 °), and it is easy to automate when storing in a large shipping box.

By providing a plurality of horizontal concave-convex lines on the surfaces of the convex portion and the concave portion, slipping when held by hand is prevented, and it becomes possible to surely hold.
