Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a somen bundle accommodation box for accommodating a large number of somen bundles in a side-by-side state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Paper boxes are generally used for somen bundles, but they are not suitable for use as gifts, for example, because paper boxes do not have a high-quality feel.

[0003] Conventionally, a wooden box for giving a sense of quality has been known as a box for storing somen bundles for gifts. Conventionally, a large number of noodle bundles are closely packed (with no gap) in the storage box in a side-by-side state. In addition, somen bundles are initially bundled in an almost perfect circle with a diameter of about 16 mm, but they are simply bundled with a narrow band, so if they are subjected to vibration during transportation, etc., their cross-sectional shape will be elliptical. There is.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, somen bundles have a nearly circular cross section in the diameter direction when they are stored in the storage box, and are packed tightly in the storage box while maintaining the true circular state. Upon receipt, the cross section is transformed into a slightly elongated elliptical shape, creating a gap in the storage box. As described above, if a gap is formed in the storage box, there is a problem that somen bundles move and collide with each other in the storage box during transportation or take-out, so that a single line of somen is easily broken. Also, for example, in a case where 20 or more bundles of noodles are stored in parallel, a gap of about 1 bundle may be formed in the storage box. There is also a problem that the impression that one bundle is insufficient (it seems to have been forgotten) may be given.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a noodle bundle storage box having a structure capable of preventing the noodle bundle stored in the storage box from moving.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has the following configuration as means for solving the above-mentioned problems. That is, the present invention is directed to a somen bundle storage box for accommodating a large number of somen bundles in a side-by-side state.

The storage box of the present application includes a box body having a bottom plate surrounded by a side frame and a top cover of the box body, and the box body and the top cover are each made of wood. Although the size of the box body can be set as appropriate, for example, a box body having a size that can accommodate about 20 bundles of somen in a parallel state is manufactured.

A positioning member made of wood is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the box main body to position the noodle bundles in a state close to each other. The positioning member has a large number of positioning recesses (or positioning projections) arranged in parallel on the upper surface thereof at substantially the same interval (or a slightly larger interval) as the diameter of the noodle bundle. Each of the recesses (or projections) may be a long one continuous in the noodle bundle accommodation direction (length direction) or a plurality of (for example, two) divided into small lengths. It may be arranged with a predetermined interval in the direction.

Further, the positioning member may be formed integrally with the bottom plate of the box body, or a separately formed member may be adhered to the upper surface of the bottom plate. In order to form the positioning member integrally with the bottom plate, a positioning recess may be cut out from a thick plate material. In this case, if the recess is made long and continuous, processing is easy. Further, when the positioning member is attached, the positioning member may be short in length, and the material can be saved.

Furthermore, in the present invention, while using a plurality of narrow positioning members made of separate narrow and molded products, a concave groove for fitting the narrow positioning members is formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate. Alternatively, each narrow positioning member may be fitted into each groove so that the bottom surface of each positioning recess of the narrow positioning member is flush with the top surface of the bottom plate.

[0011] The somen bundle storage box of the present invention has a high-class feel because it is entirely made of wood. In addition, the somen bundles stored in the storage box can be held in parallel by the positioning members, so that even if subjected to vibration during transportation or the like, the somen bundles are displaced in the storage box. There is no. Furthermore, in the case of positioning at a plurality of positions (for example, two positions) spaced apart in the length direction of the somen bundle, if the bottom surface of the positioning concave portion of the narrow positioning member and the upper surface of the bottom plate are at the same height, In a state where the somen bundle is held in each positioning concave portion, the lower surface of the somen bundle contacts the upper surface of the bottom plate and the upper surface of the positioning concave portion over the entire length, so that there is no gap between the lower surface of the somen bundle and the upper surface of the bottom plate. . Therefore, in this case, even if the noodles are positioned at a plurality of positions spaced apart in the length direction of the somen bundle, there is a problem that the somen bundle is bent downward by its own weight or broken by vibration. It can be solved before it happens.

[0012]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment, FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment, and FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment. .

The somen bundle storage box according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a box body 1 in which a bottom plate 2 is surrounded by a side frame 3, and an upper lid 4 of the box body 1. . The upper lid 4 is the same size as the box body 1. The box body 1 and the upper lid 4 are each made of wood. The somen bundle 10 (FIG. 2) to be stored in the storage box is usually about 16 mm in diameter and about 190 mm in length.

The storage box of this embodiment is configured to store 16 bundles of somen bundles 10 in a side-by-side state. In this embodiment, the length in the longitudinal direction inside the box main body 1 is set to about 272 mm in order to provide an interval of about 1 mm between the somen bundles 10 in the stored state. On the other hand, the length in the width direction in the box body 1 is about 194 mm, which is slightly longer than the length of the noodle bundle 10. The length of the box body 1 in the longitudinal direction can be appropriately set according to the number of bundles of the somen bundles 10.

On the upper surface of the bottom plate 2, there is provided a positioning member 5 for positioning the noodle bundles 10 in close proximity to each other. The positioning member 5 of the first embodiment is integrally formed on the entire upper surface of the bottom plate 2. That is, the positioning member 5 is also made of wood, and as shown in FIG. 3, a large number of positioning recesses 51, 51.・ The positioning member 5 is formed by shaving off. Each positioning recess 51 has a semicircular cross section with a radius of 8 mm and is formed over the entire length of the bottom plate 2 in the short direction. Also, a ridge (protrusion) having a width of about 1 mm is formed between the positioning recesses 51, 51.

A shelf 21 on which the side frame 3 is placed is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the bottom plate 2 as shown in FIG. Then, with the side frame 3 assembled in a rectangular shape, the lower surface of the side frame 3 is adhered to the shelf 21 with an adhesive. In another embodiment, the side frame 3 and the bottom plate 2 may be fixed by nailing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the accommodation box of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has one bundle of somen noodles 10, 10 in each of the recesses 51 of the positioning member 5, respectively. After being inserted one by one and covered with the upper lid 4, it is wrapped or tied with a string to be commercialized. In this state, each of the somen bundles 10 has entered the recess 51 to a depth of about half the diameter thereof, and even if it is subjected to vibration during transportation or the like, the somen bundles 10 move within the storage box. There is no.

In the somen bundle accommodating box of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, two narrow positioning members 5A, 5A are used. A large number of positioning recesses 51A, 51A,... Are formed in each of the narrow positioning members 5A, 5A at intervals of about the diameter of the somen bundle 10. It should be noted that the thickness T of each of the narrow positioning members 5A, 5A from the bottom of the positioning recesses 51A, 51A,... is there. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the narrow positioning members 5A, 5A are bonded to the bottom plate 2 at two positions (indicated by reference numeral 2A) spaced apart in the short direction. The narrow positioning members 5A, 5A are positioned such that the concave portions 51A, 51A on the respective sides correspond to the short direction of the bottom plate 2. Note that the storage box of the second embodiment functions in the same manner as that of the first embodiment.

FIG. 5 shows a modification of FIG. 4 for the noodle bundle storage box of the third embodiment. In this third embodiment, two narrow positioning members 5A, 5A similar to FIG.・ ・ Is used. On the other hand, two concave grooves 2B, 2B into which the narrow positioning members 5A, 5A are respectively fitted are formed at two positions on the upper surface 2a of the bottom plate 2 which are separated in the short direction, respectively, toward the longitudinal direction. The narrow positioning members 5A, 5A are fitted into the grooves 2B, 2B, respectively, with the bottom surfaces of the positioning recesses 51A, 51A,... Being at the same height as the upper surface 2a of the bottom plate 2. I have. In this case, the narrow positioning members 5A, 5A may be bonded to the inner surfaces of the concave grooves 2B, 2B with an adhesive.

In the somen bundle accommodating box of the third embodiment, the noodle bundle 10 is positioned at two positions spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction, and is used for positioning the narrow positioning members 5A, 5A. Since the bottom surfaces of the recesses 51A, 51A,... And the bottom plate upper surface 2a are at the same height, the lower surface of the somen bundles 10 extends over the entire length in a state where the somen bundles 10 are held in the positioning concave portions 51A, 51A. As a result, the bottom plate upper surface 2a and the upper surfaces of the positioning recesses 51A, 51A come into contact with each other, so that there is no gap between the lower surface of the somen bundle and the bottom plate upper surface 2a. Therefore, in this case, even if the noodles are positioned at multiple positions at intervals in the length direction of the somen bundle, the noodle bundle will bend downward by its own weight or be broken by vibration. It can be solved before it happens.

[0021]

[Effects of the Invention] The somen bundle storage box of the present invention has the following effects. First of all, it is made of wood, so there is a sense of quality. In addition, since the positioning member 5 is provided on the bottom plate 2, the somen bundles 10 stored in the storage box are not displaced. Therefore, the somen single line does not break due to the collision of somen bundles, and since there is no abnormal gap in the box body 1, the appearance does not deteriorate. If the spacing between the positioning portions 51A, 51A,... Of the positioning member 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the somen bundle, the accommodating operation for accommodating the somen bundles 10, 10,. This makes it easier (there is no need to force the last bunch of noodles) and makes the bunch of noodles look like a small number. Further, when the inner bundle is consumed and the storage box is discarded, since the entirety including the positioning member 5 is made of wood, it is not necessary to separate and discard it like plastic.
