Description

  The present invention relates to a container having a polygonal container body made of a foamable synthetic resin and capable of storing a storage item such as fish or vegetable from an upper end opening.

  In such a container, since it is lightweight and has heat retention and a predetermined strength, for example, fish as an example of stored items is stored together with ice in the container, from the ship to the market or from the market to the storefront. Used for transportation. The transported containers are lined up for market auction or store sales. Then, the container is placed without attaching the lid so that the fish can be seen from the upper end opening of the container.

  By the way, there are times when you want to know the length of the fish at the time of auction in the market or at the store. In that case, the size of the fish is measured using a measure or the like, but the measurement of the size is troublesome.

  Incidentally, as a measure for measuring the length of a fish, for example, a fishing bucket with a scale for measuring the length of the fish has been proposed. This fishing bucket has a container body in which a storage portion for storing fish is formed. The container body includes a bottom surface, a side surface raised upward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface, and an upper surface covering the upper end of the side surface. The upper surface portion is configured to be openable and closable with a fastener, and a scale for measuring the length of the fish is attached along one side of the opening formed by being opened (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Moreover, although the depth to the inner side of the finger hanging recessed part 24 is set to about 2 cm, you may set to the arbitrary values between 1 cm-3 cm.

  At four locations on the bottom wall 21, there are formed discharge holes 25 for discharging water melted by the ice for cooling kept in the container 1 to the outside.

  The discharge hole 25 is formed at a position adjacent to the left and right side walls 22L and 22R. Specifically, each discharge hole 25 is formed toward the outer side in the thickness direction of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R and then opened downward, so that the cross section is formed in a crank shape.

  In addition, on the upper surfaces of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4A and 4B, the length of the fish accommodated in the container body 2 along the side direction is measured. A scale 26 is provided. The scale 26 provided on the left side wall 22L has the rear side wall 23B side as the origin, and the scale 26 provided on the right side wall 22R has the front side wall 23F side as the origin.

  The scale 26 is integrally formed when the container 1 is foamed by screwing a scale forming plate (not shown) to a mold (not shown). The plate has a length slightly shorter than the length of the left and right side walls 22L, 22R in the longitudinal direction. Further, the width of the plate is set to be approximately half the thickness of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R. Specifically, the scale 26 integrally molded in this way has a scale portion 27 that is projected upward at a predetermined interval in the side direction and a predetermined length in a specific scale portion of the scale portion 27. The numeral indicating the number is composed of a numeral part 28 formed by protruding upward.

  The scale part 27 is formed at a position close to the inner surfaces 22A of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R, and the numeral part 28 is formed near the central part in the thickness direction of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R. Further, the scale 26 formed by the plate has a shape having a flat surface 26A recessed downward from the upper surface 22S of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R by the thickness of the plate, as shown in FIG. The scale part 27 and the numeral part 28 protrude upward from 26A and can be visually recognized. Since the flat surface 26A is recessed downward, a step portion 26D is provided between the upper surfaces 22S of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R. The step portion 26D is formed on an inclined surface that is outward on the upper side. Therefore, the step portion 26 </ b> D is not obstructed by the step portion 26 </ b> D and can be easily visually recognized when viewed from a position away from the container body 2. Further, since the inner end portion 26T of the scale 26 in the container body 2 is not formed with the step portion 26D as described above, the inner end portion 26T is not easily chipped.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the scale portion 27 has an origin scale that serves as an origin on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the upper surfaces of the left and right side walls 22L and 22R (only the right side wall 22R is shown in FIG. 4). Part 27a, first scale part 27b projecting in a hemispherical shape at a predetermined interval (5 cm in the figure), between origin scale part 27a and first scale part 27b, and between adjacent first scale parts 27b, 27b And a second scale portion 27c protruding in a hemispherical shape having a smaller diameter than the first scale portion at predetermined intervals (1 cm in the figure). The origin scale portion 27a protrudes into a hemisphere having the same size as the first scale portion 27b.

  The origin scale portion 27a is the first inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F that is another side wall orthogonal to the right side wall 22R on which the scale portion 27 having the origin scale portion 27a is formed. It forms so that it may correspond in the longitudinal direction (front-back direction of the container main body 2) of the inclined surface 23a and the said right side wall 22R. That is, the origin scale so that the front-rear position of the origin scale portion 27a in the container body 2 and the front-rear position of the first inclined surface 23a of the inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F in the container body 2 coincide with each other in the front-rear direction of the container body 2. A portion 27a is formed.

  The number part 28 includes a first number part 28a indicating the origin, and a second number part 28b formed to protrude at predetermined intervals (10 cm in the figure).

  In the container 1 having the scale 26 in this way, the scale 26 indicates the front end position of the head of the fish and the rear end position of the fish tail housed in the container 1 along the longitudinal direction (side direction) of the left and right side walls 22L, 22R. By checking (reading) with, you can know the length of the fish. For example, the fish F1 stored in the lower left of the container 1 in FIG. 2 has the front end of the head in contact with the inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F and coincides with the origin 0 of the scale 26 provided on the upper surface of the right side wall 22R. . Therefore, since the position of the rear end of the tail coincides with 28 at the front of the numeral 30, two, it can be seen that the length of the fish F1 is 28 cm. Similarly, the fish F2 stored in the upper right of the container 1 in FIG. 2 coincides with the origin 0 of the scale 26 provided on the upper surface of the left side wall 22L with the front end of the head contacting the inner surface 23A of the rear side wall 23B. ing. Therefore, since the position of the tail rear end coincides with the numeral 30, it can be seen that the length of the fish F2 is 30 cm.

  In addition, the fish F3 stored in the lower right of the container 1 in FIG. 2 corresponds to 52, which is two more than the numeral 50 of the scale 26 provided on the upper surface of the left side wall 22L at the front end of the head. Since the position of the tail rear end coincides with the numeral 30, 52-30 = 22, which indicates that the length of the fish F3 is 22 cm.

  Accordingly, since the scale 26 is provided on the upper surfaces of the pair of left and right side walls 22L and 22R facing each other, the length of the fish can be determined by reading the scale 26 provided on the upper surface of the side wall close to the pair of side walls 22L and 22R. Measurements can be made quickly and without error. Further, since the scale 26 is integrally formed at the time of foam molding of the container main body 2, not only can the mounting work for attaching the separately formed scale to the container main body 2 be made unnecessary, but the scale can be removed. There is no trouble.

  Further, by looking at the number portion 28 in which a number indicating a predetermined length is projected upward in a specific scale portion of the scale portions, it is possible to know the length of the fish quickly and without making a mistake.

  In addition, the origin scale portion 27a on the upper surface of one side wall 22R has an inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F that is the other side wall orthogonal to the right side wall 22R in the longitudinal direction (side direction) and the longitudinal direction of the right side wall 22R ( As shown in FIG. 2, if the front end of the head of the fish F1 is in contact with the inner surface 23A of the orthogonal front side wall 23F, as shown in FIG. By reading (checking) only the scale corresponding to the tail rear end, it is possible to know the length of the fish quickly and without error.

  In addition, the container which concerns on this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F is used as the origin, and the dimensions are given to increase toward the rear side wall 23B. However, as shown in FIG. 5A, for example, the longitudinal direction of the right side wall 22R A scale 26 may be provided so that the central portion is located 30 cm away from both the front and rear side walls, and the size increases from the 30 cm boundary to the front side and the rear side. In this case, it can be seen that the fish F4 on the left side of the figure in which the front end of the head is in contact with the inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F has a length of 37.5 cm, and the front end of the head hits the inner surface 23A of the rear side wall 23B. It can be seen that the fish F5 on the right side of the figure in contact has a length of 35 cm. In short, even if the fish is in contact with either the inner surface 23A of the front side wall 23F or the inner surface 23A of the rear side wall 23B, the length of the fish can be easily known quickly with one scale 26. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), a scale in which the scale portion 27 and the number portion 28 between the dimensions 0 to 30 (in this case, 30 may be any numerical value) are omitted. 26 may be used. In FIGS. 5A and 5B, the scale portion 27 is a scale line along the thickness direction of the right side wall 22R.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the scale 26 was integrally molded at the time of foam molding of the container main body 2, you may attach the scale formed separately to the container main body 2. FIG. In this case, it is conceivable to use a paper seal or the like in addition to a metal plate, a synthetic resin plate or a wooden plate.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the container main body 2 was comprised in planar view substantially rectangular shape, you may comprise in polygonal shapes, such as a triangle and a rhombus, may be comprised in planar view substantially square shape.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the scale 26 was provided in both the upper surfaces of the left-right side walls 22L and 22R, you may implement by providing only in one side wall 22L or 22R. Further, a scale 26 may be provided on one or both of the front and rear side walls 23F and 23B so that the width of the fish can be measured.
