DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pack holder to be mounted on a pack containing various beverages, liquid seasonings, and the like so that the pack can be easily held.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, drinks such as milk, juice, and sake and liquid seasonings such as mirin, which have conventionally been sold in bottles, have been sold in paper packs. The size is generally 500 cc and 1 liter (1000 cc).

[0003] Although convenient, these packs are heavy because they contain a liquid, and are as wide as 7 cm in width compared to milk bottles, etc., and are difficult to hold because they are square. Particularly, it is difficult for a child, an old man, a person with a small hand, or a person with a weak grip to lift and move the pack or to pour the contents from the pack into a cup or the like.

[0004] In order to make the pack easier to hold, there have been proposed pack holders to be attached to the pack (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-147724 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 55-56274). They are provided with a handle so that the user can lift the pack with the handle and pour the contents of the pack.

In these, the pack is fitted into the inside of the pack holder having a bottom, and the weight of the pack is supported by the bottom. Therefore, these pack holders are mounted below the pack. Regardless of the 500cc pack, when mounted on a 1-liter pack containing a lot of contents, the center of gravity of the pack is much higher than the handle of the pack holder. May work more than necessary and the contents may come out and overflow from the cup. Also, when moving with the handle, if the center of gravity is at the top, it is difficult to hold it with the feeling of hanging, and it must be held in an unstable state where the upper part is shaky, so put extra force on the hand with the handle more than necessary. I have to enter.

In addition, the contents easily drip from the spout of the pack and accumulate on the inner bottom surface of the pack holder. In addition, there is also a problem that the hardened contents accumulated in the corners are difficult to wash and easily become unsanitary. Some models have a support bar at the bottom to support the weight as in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-73770. Such a configuration does not have a bottom plate, so this problem is unlikely to occur. However, it is difficult to obtain sufficient strength.

[0007] Also, in spite of the fact that the pack holder is intended to make it easier for people who are not good at directly grasping and lifting the pack to hold the pack, when the pack is mounted on the pack holder, the contents are not. It is necessary to grasp a full heavy pack, lift it once above the pack holder, and then drop it into the pack holder, and this mounting work itself is difficult for the user to perform and is not suitable for practical use.

Further, pack beverages are often stored in a drawer-type refrigerator compartment of a refrigerator or a door pocket of a refrigerator to be refrigerated, and it is necessary to take up the pack and pull it upward or diagonally upward to take it out. Yes, the handle located below is difficult to grasp. On the other hand, if the user grips the upper part of the pack near the spout and pulls it up, only the pack is pulled up and the pack holder remains in the refrigerator, so it is necessary to remount the pack holder. Therefore, storing in a refrigerator with the pack holder attached was rather inconvenient.

If the pack is tilted more than horizontal when pouring, the pack will slide out of the pack holder, and the pack will fall onto the table on which the cup is placed, causing damage to the cup and soiling the table. was there.

[0010]

Therefore, the pack can be easily mounted on the pack, the handle can be mounted so that the handle is located above the center of gravity, it is hard to get dirty, it is easy to take out the pack from the refrigerator, and it is easy to carry. There is a demand for a pack holder which is hard to be detached when pouring.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments. [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pack holder of the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the same pack holder.

(1) is a rectangular cylindrical main body, which can be circumscribed on the side surface of the pack (10). In addition, since the pack swells slightly outward due to its weight when the contents are filled in a lot, the size of the inside of the main body of the pack holder (1) is larger than the outer shape of the pack in the embodiment so that the pack can be mounted even in such a state. Is also set slightly larger. Also, body (1)
Has a length that does not protrude below the lower end of the pack when mounted on a 500 cc pack. This is to allow the bottom surface of the pack to be in contact with a table or the like even when the pack is mounted on a 500 cc pack having a short vertical length. As a result, the pack (10) can be stably placed on a table or the like without interference from the pack holder.

(2) is for inserting a pack holder into the pack (10) by being inserted into a triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b) formed below the sealing portion (10a) at the top of the pack (10). It is a locking part. The locking part (2) is provided on the upper part of the main body (1), and has a thin hinge part (2a) at its base. As a result, the locking portion (2) is pivoted about the hinge portion (2a) as a handle to be described later.
(3) It can rotate in the direction.

A handle (3) is provided on a side surface of the main body (1). As in the case of the main body (1), the lower end of the handle (3) does not project downward from the lower end of the pack (10) even when the pack holder is mounted on a 500 cc pack.

(4) is a suspender for suspending and holding the pack holder, and (5) is a suspender attaching portion for attaching the suspender (4) to the main body (1). The hanging hand (4) can rotate around the hanging hand mounting portion (5) as an axis. Hanging hand
(4) needs a length that can be turned up to the top of the pack, but the pack holder of the present invention is mounted on the top of the pack (10), so the length may be short and it is hard to get in the way when not in use . (If a similar hanging hand is to be provided in a conventional pack holder, it is necessary to have a length sufficient to reach from the bottom of the pack to the top of the pack, and the long hanging hand tends to be obstructed when not in use.) In this embodiment, the lifting hand
As (4), a flexible strap made of synthetic resin was used.

FIG. 2 shows a pack of the present embodiment.
It is a figure showing signs that it attaches to (10). First, FIG.
Lift the pack holder to above the pack (10) as shown in (a). At this time, the handle (3) is located on the side opposite to the spout (10c).

Next, when the pack (10) is lowered so as to penetrate into the main body (1), the upper end of the sealing portion (10a) on the top of the pack (10) and the upper side (2b) of the locking portion (2) are removed. The lower side abuts. When the pack holder is further lowered, the locking portion (2) bends at the hinge portion (2a) and falls toward the handle (3). When the pack holder is further lowered, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the locking portion (2) passes over the sealing portion (10a) and the triangular pyramid-shaped recess under the sealing portion (10a).
Move to (10b) side.

When the pack holder is lifted upward as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the locking portion (2) which has been bent toward the handle (3) comes up and comes into the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b). Going to be inserted. Then, the upper side (2b) of the locking portion (2) comes into contact with the upper portion of the triangular pyramid-shaped concave portion (10b) (the lower portion of the sealing portion (10a)). This completes the mounting.

The heavy pack (10) containing the contents as described above.
Without lifting, the pack holder can be mounted with a simple and low-power operation, such as putting a light pack holder on top of the pack (10) with one hand, pushing it down and pulling it up slightly. Even weak people can wear it easily.

The weight of the pack (10) is such that the locking portion (2) is supported by the upper part of the triangular pyramid-shaped concave part (10b) (the lower part of the sealing part (10a)), but the sealing part (10a) Due to the tight adhesion, this does not tear or open the closure (10a).

When taking out from the refrigerator, the handle (3) located at the upper part of the pack (10) may be grasped and lifted upward as it is, or may be lifted with the suspender (4).
When the handle is obstructed when stored in the refrigerator, the handle (3) may be configured to be detachable from the main body (1).

If the user holds the handle (3) or the suspender (4) when carrying the pack, the center of gravity of the pack is lower than them, so that the pack can be held in a stable state.

When pouring into the cup (12) or the like, it is sufficient to open the spout (10c) of the pack (10) and tilt the handle (3) to tilt the pack (10). Since the hanging part mounting part (5) is provided on the handle (3) side of the main body (1), the hanging part (4) is
It does not reach the point (10c) and become unsanitary due to the contents coming out of the spout (10c).

Even if the pack (10) is tilted more than horizontal,
Since (2) is engaged with the triangular pyramidal recess (10b), the pack (1
0) does not fall off easily. However, there are many contents, the pack weight is heavy, and the spout (10
When pouring with a large inclination such that c) is directly below, the latch (2) bends toward the handle (3) due to the pack weight (disengages from the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b)) and the pack (10) falls off Sometimes. Usually there is no problem because it is not used in such a way, but even in such a case, the locking part near the locking part (2) of the main body (1) so that the pack (10) does not come off.
A stopper for preventing (2) from bending toward the handle (3) may be provided.

Since the pack holder has no bottom plate, even if the contents flow from the spout (10c) along the side of the pack (10) to the bottom of the pack, the contents are stored in the pack holder. It is easy to clean the pack holder.

When removing the pack holder from the pack (10), the locking portion (2) is removed from the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b) by pulling it down slightly,
It may be pulled out while holding the locking part (2) again so as not to be caught on the locking part (2)), but if you pull down the pack holder (or pull up the pack on the contrary) The lock (2) is automatically pulled down to the lower end of the pack (10) with the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b) disengaged. Then, by holding the pack holder with one hand and pulling up (pulling out) the pack (10), the pack (10) and the pack holder can be separated. Generally, when removing the pack holder,
Since the contents in (10) are empty, if the user picks up near the upper end of the pack (10) and lifts it, even a child or a weak person can easily pull up the pack (10).

Incidentally, in this embodiment, in order to smoothly attach and detach the pack holder, a round portion is provided at each position of the locking portion (2). FIG. 4 is a view showing the state of the present embodiment viewed from above the handle (3) (the hanging hand and the like are not shown). The shape of the locking portion (2) of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This will be described in more detail.

When the pack holder is attached, the locking portion (2)
Are inserted into the triangular pyramid-shaped concave portion (10b). At this time, the radius of the distal end portion (2c) shown in FIG. It is provided to reduce the contact resistance with the inner upper surface (the inside of the roof-like portion).
Thereby, the engaging portion (2) can be smoothly inserted into the triangular pyramid-shaped concave portion (10b).

The radius (2d) reduces the contact resistance between the engaging portion (2) and the corner of the pack, which is the lower side of the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b), and lowers the pack holder to lower the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b). ) Can be easily removed from the locking portion (2). Also, when pulling up the pack holder and attaching it, the handle (3) of the locking part (2)
It also has a function of reducing bending to the side and facilitating the tip of the locking portion (2) to come into contact with the inner upper surface (inside of the roof-like portion) of the triangular pyramid-shaped recess (10b).

[Embodiment 2] This embodiment is a pack holder suitable for being used by being attached to a pack (11) having a spout with a stopper on the upper slope. In general, a pack having a weakened adhesive at one end of a sealing portion, and peeling off the portion to be used as a spout (the pack (10) equipped with the pack holder of Example 1 above corresponds to this) is common. However, recently, in order to improve the ease of pouring and the sealing property, instead of the sealing part (11a), a spout (11
Packs (11) with c) have also become available.

Although such a pack (11) can be used with the pack holder of the first embodiment attached thereto, when pouring, the handle (3) is not upward (ie, on the opposite side of the spout (11c)). Since it is located on the side, it is difficult to pour.

In view of this, in the present embodiment, a locking portion (6) for engaging with the triangular pyramid-shaped concave portion (11b) is provided at the upper part of the opposing surface of the main body (1), and the handle (3) is provided with the locking portion. (6) is mounted on a different surface from where it is provided. Further, the suspender (4) is attached to the same surface where the locking portion (6) is provided.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the pack holder of this embodiment is mounted on a pack, and FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a use state of this embodiment. In the case of this embodiment, too, Embodiment 1
It can be easily attached and detached and carried as well. And when pouring, the handle (3) can be poured over the spout (11c), so that it is easy to pour. In addition, it has the same effect as that of the first embodiment, but since the two engaging portions (6) are engaged with the triangular pyramid-shaped concave portion (11b), the mounting state is more stable and the pouring is performed. The pack (11) does not easily fall off even when tilted greatly.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention, the pack can be easily mounted on the pack, the handle can be mounted so as to be located above the center of gravity, the clean is hard to get dirty, the pack can be easily taken out from the refrigerator, and the portable can be carried. This makes it possible to provide a pack holder which is easy to remove the pack when pouring.
