Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To provide an egg container capable of efficiently and hygienically storing and transporting a large amount of chicken eggs. SOLUTION: A container body in which a plurality of concave portions for storing eggs are arranged, and an egg packaging container made of a synthetic resin comprising a lid formed separately from the container body and covering the eggs stored in the concave portions. The present invention provides an egg packaging container in which n recesses of the main body are arranged in one row, and n + 1 pieces are arranged in a row substantially orthogonal to this.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Background of the invention]

 The present invention relates to an egg packaging container used for transporting eggs, particularly chicken eggs, to stores such as supermarkets, transporting them to business customers such as hotels and restaurants, and storing a large amount of eggs. The egg packaging container of the present invention can efficiently and hygienically store and transport a large amount of eggs and the like by stacking eggs in several stages and covering the top with a lid.

[0002] As a commercial egg packaging container, a thick gray paper container generally called mold pulp, which reuses waste paper, has conventionally been used. However, it has been pointed out that such a conventional container absorbs water during refrigerated storage and easily causes bacteria, and also has a problem of hygiene against O-157, Salmonella, and the like.

[0003]

[Objective and summary of the invention]

 An object of the present invention is to provide an egg container capable of storing and transporting a large number of eggs efficiently and hygienically. As a result of various studies on the above-mentioned problem, the present inventors have solved the problem with a synthetic resin container in which chicken eggs are efficiently stacked in multiple stages and a lid is provided on the top stage.

The present invention relates to a synthetic resin made of a container body in which a plurality of concave portions for storing eggs are arranged, and a lid formed separately from the container body and covering the eggs stored in the concave portions. The present invention provides an egg packaging container in which n concave portions of the main body are arranged in a row, and n + 1 are arranged in a row substantially perpendicular to the concave portions.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing an egg packaging container 10 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, three stages of container bodies 1a, 1b, and 1c are stacked, and one lid 2 is placed on the uppermost container body 1c. The container main bodies 1a, 1b, 1c and the lid 2 each have a main body concave part 3 and a lid concave part 4, which are concave parts for holding a plurality of eggs in a state of being isolated from each other.

[0006] In the container body 1c, n body recesses 3 for accommodating eggs are arranged in one row, and in a row orthogonal thereto, n + 1 body recesses are arranged. That is, in FIG. 1, five recesses 3 are provided in one row in the container body 1 c (the same is also applied to 1 a and 1 b), and six recesses 3 are provided in one row in a row orthogonal to this. 1c is provided with a main body concave portion 3 for accommodating a total of 30 eggs. In addition, the lid 2 is formed with a lid concave portion 4 corresponding to the main body concave portion 3 and covering each egg housed therein.

As a material for such a packaging container, any of conventionally known materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyester, and polyethylene may be used, and a recycled product such as recovered polyester may be used. The egg packaging container can be formed from a thin synthetic resin sheet by a known method such as vacuum molding and blow molding.

In order to load and pack eggs by the egg packaging container 10 of the present invention, first, as shown in FIG. 1, each recess 3 (5 × 6 = 30 in FIG. 1) of the first-stage container main body 1a. Put eggs 11 in the). Next, as the second stage, the same container body 1b as the first stage is turned 90 ° from the first stage and placed on the first stage container body 1a. 5 × 6 = 30 eggs. Similarly, as the third stage, the direction of 90 ° is changed from the second stage, that is, the container main body 1c is placed in the same direction as the first stage container main body 1a, and the eggs are stored therein. I do. In this manner, if necessary, the eggs are filled by repeatedly placing the container body at a desired angle of 90 ° with respect to the immediately preceding main body container. Finally, the lid 2 is put on the uppermost container main body containing the eggs. In this way, the egg container of the present invention protects the egg, which is a product, from the impact during transportation and storage, and can store and transport the eggs in a sanitary manner.

A small projection 5 is formed in the middle surrounded by four adjacent body recesses 3 provided in the container body 1, and a recess provided at the bottom of the container body recess stacked on the upper stage. (Not shown) to prevent the upper and lower container bodies from shifting.

[0010]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the egg packaging container of the present invention, a large amount of eggs can be stored and transported efficiently and sanitarily.
