Description

  The present invention relates to a folding paper cup, such as a portable paper cup or a urine collection cup used in urinalysis.

  Urinalysis is a general examination item for health examinations, such as a mandatory item (urine sugar) in regular health examinations stipulated in the Industrial Safety and Health Law. In urinalysis, specimen collection, ie urine collection, is carried out at hospitals, etc., and in urine collection containers and droppers in advance for group medical examinations such as regular medical examinations and periodic medical examinations of students and remote examinations (mail screenings) In addition, a urine collection set including a collection container is distributed, and pre-urine collection (home urine collection) is performed by collecting urine at home or the like.

  A urine collection set used in the above-described prior urine collection (home urine collection) needs to be configured in a compact manner, and therefore the urine collection container included therein must also be configured in a compact manner during distribution. As this type of urine collection container, Patent Document 1 describes a plastic urine collection container. Similarly, Patent Document 2 describes a urine collection paper cup that is folded from a single sheet of paper.

JP 2010-127776 A JP 2007-33421 A

  However, since the urine collection container described in Patent Document 1 is a plastic product, it is a target for waste collection. Therefore, the used urine collection container needs to be cleaned before separating and collecting garbage, and has a hygienic problem. In addition, the urine collection container described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it is necessary and troublesome to use an auxiliary tool such as a dropper in order to transfer urine from the urine collection container to the collection container.

  Furthermore, since the urine collection paper cup described in Patent Document 2 requires that a cup be produced by folding a piece of paper at the time of urine collection, there is a problem that it takes time to fold and time is taken for urine collection.

  The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a folded paper cup that can easily and quickly transition from the unfolded state to the folded state, or from the folded state to the unfolded state. is there.

  Another object of the present invention is that when used as a urine collection container, the contents can be transferred to another container without using an aid such as a dropper, and can be disposed of after use. The purpose is to provide a folding paper cup.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the folding paper cup of the present invention is a paper cup having a body portion and a bottom surface that closes one end in the axial direction of the body portion, and the other end in the axial direction of the body portion is open. In addition, a convex piece portion extending in the axial direction is formed at a part of the other end of the body portion, and a single body side fold line provided over a substantially half circumference of the body portion, Two trunk vertical fold lines extending in the opening direction from both ends of the folding line, and at least two trunk diagonal folding lines extending obliquely with respect to the trunk lateral folding line from both ends to the bottom of the trunk lateral folding line are provided.

  The folding paper cup of the present invention includes a trunk horizontal fold line, a trunk vertical fold line, and a trunk diagonal fold line for easily folding or unfolding the paper cup. At the time of folding, the trunk horizontal fold line is valley-folded and the trunk vertical fold line is folded, so that the trunk on the opening side of the trunk lateral fold line is folded flat while the bottom surface is pulled up to the trunk side. And a trunk part fold line is mountain-folded, and it becomes a compact folding shape by pulling up to the position parallel to the trunk | drum which the bottom face was folded flat. On the other hand, when unfolding, the bottom of the trunk is folded perpendicularly to the plane of the folded trunk by returning the valley fold of the trunk horizontal fold line, and the folded trunk is restored by returning the mountain fold of the trunk vertical fold line. The part becomes three-dimensional and is in a developed state that can be used as a paper cup.

  In the folding paper cup of the present invention, a convex piece portion extending in the axial direction is formed on a part of the other end of the body portion. Therefore, when the folded paper cup is used as a urine collection container, the convex piece becomes a spout for directly pouring the contents, that is, urine after urine collection into the collection container. Also, handling is convenient because it can be used as a handle when using a paper cup.

  It is also preferable that two opening vertical folding lines are provided at two positions which are substantially in the middle of the two trunk vertical folding lines and one end appears in the opening. By folding the vertical fold line of the opening at the time of unfolding, the opening that has been folded into a flat shape opens widely, and a stable unfolded state is maintained.

  Moreover, it is also preferable that the convex piece part is formed in line symmetry with respect to one trunk part vertical folding line. The convex piece portion serving as the pouring spout for the contents is formed into a V-shaped bowl shape by being folded in a line-symmetric manner along the trunk vertical folding line. Therefore, the contents, that is, the collected urine can be easily transferred to the collection container along the trunk-folded vertical folding line.

  Furthermore, it is also preferable that the trunk is provided with an elongated transparent window extending in the axial direction. Since the state of the inside of the cup can be confirmed from the transparent window provided in the trunk portion, the presence or absence of the contents can be grasped without looking into the inside of the cup from the opening. Moreover, since the body part of the paper cup is not transparent, it is difficult to grasp the liquid level of the contents, but the liquid level of the cup contents can be grasped from the elongated transparent window.

According to the present invention, a folded paper cup having the following excellent effects can be provided.
(1) Transition from the unfolded state to the folded state, or from the folded state to the unfolded state can be performed easily and quickly.
(2) When used as a cup content, that is, as a urine collection container, the collected urine can be easily transferred to another container without using an auxiliary tool such as a dropper. Moreover, since an auxiliary tool such as a dropper is not required, the cost of the urine collection set can be suppressed.
(3) It can be disposed of as paper waste after use, and is hygienic.
(4) Since the state inside the cup can be confirmed from the elongated transparent window provided in the trunk portion, the presence or absence of the contents and the liquid level of the contents can be easily grasped.
