  Conventionally, waste oil collection containers for owners of motorcycles and passenger cars to replace engine oil themselves have been sold separately from new engine oil cans. When purchasing both, it is necessary to select a waste oil collection container with a volume that matches the amount of engine oil to be replaced, and on the other hand, to select and purchase a new engine oil can that matches the engine. there were. Moreover, when selling in a store or the like, both of these products are individually displayed and sometimes are displayed in places distant from each other, and the purchaser has to search for these products. If one of them is sold out, the engine oil may not be changed. In addition, the selling side had to purchase a waste oil collection container and a new engine oil can separately, which required time for purchase, and also had to separately manage the inventory of these two related products.

In view of these points, the present invention makes it possible to purchase a waste oil collection container and a new engine oil container at the same time, thereby improving convenience on the purchaser side and the seller side. The waste oil collecting container is configured to contain a waste oil absorbing material that absorbs waste oil that is generated when the engine oil is changed and an oil container in which new engine oil is sealed. For this reason, the amount of old engine oil (waste oil) that is assembled into a cubic shape with an opening on the upper surface and formed into a box shape with thick paper so that the opening can be closed with a lid that can be opened and closed, is replaced. A waste oil collecting container containing a waste oil absorbent material having a capacity suitable for absorption, and an oil-resistant polyolefin-based synthetic resin layer is formed on the entire inner surface of the thick paper except at least the lid, An oil container in which engine oil is sealed is packed in a state of being embedded in the waste oil absorbing material.

Further, on the outer surface of the waste oil collection container of the present invention, an appropriate amount display of the waste oil that can be absorbed by the waste oil absorbent and a display relating to the new engine oil sealed in the oil container are printed.

In the present invention, since the oil container in which the new engine oil is sealed and the waste oil absorbing material are stored in the waste oil recovery container, the new engine oil can be simultaneously sold together with the waste oil recovery container in the store. For this reason, the selling side can purchase an oil container containing new engine oil and a waste oil recovery container containing waste oil absorbent material at the same time. Further, since the two related products can be purchased and sold at the same time, it is easy to display and sell the two types of related products, and to easily manage the inventory of the two types of related products. In addition, the purchaser can purchase a new engine oil to be replaced with an old engine oil (waste oil) and a waste oil recovery container having a capacity to absorb the amount of the replaced waste oil at the same time. is there. Since the oil container is packed in a state where it is embedded in the waste oil absorbent, it is possible to prevent the oil resistant synthetic resin layer on the inner surface of the waste oil recovery container from being damaged by contact with the oil container, and to protect the oil container. In addition, it is possible to prevent the waste oil collection container from being damaged by hitting the oil container. Furthermore, an oil-resistant polyolefin-based synthetic resin layer is formed on the inner surface of the waste oil recovery container, so that the number of components is reduced compared to the case in which the synthetic resin bag is stored, and the oil It becomes easy to handle without the trouble of keeping the opening of the synthetic resin bag wide at the time of replacement.

  For this reason, in the conventional case where a waste oil collecting container that does not contain an oil container and a new engine oil are purchased separately, if one of them is sold out, the oil may not be replaced. There is no such thing. In this way, sales that achieve customer satisfaction are possible.

  In addition, the waste oil absorber and the new engine oil are sold at the same time by printing the appropriate amount of waste oil that can be absorbed by the waste oil absorber and the indication of the new engine oil sealed in the oil container on the outer surface of the box. The configuration is particularly suitable.

  In the present invention, the waste oil absorbing material and the new engine oil are sealed in a waste oil recovery container formed of thick paper having an oil resistant inner surface for the convenience of the purchaser and the seller. It is a waste oil collection container which takes the sales form which accommodated the oil container.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Each figure denotes waste oil collection container according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a waste oil collection container, Figure 2 is an internal configuration diagram of a waste oil collection container in a section A-A of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is the invention The perspective view which opened the lid | cover of the waste oil collection container which concerns on the 1st reference form of this, FIG. 4 is a state figure which collects engine oil in a waste oil collection container, FIG. 5 is the inside of the waste oil collection container which formed the storage division part of the oil container It is explanatory drawing of the 2nd reference form of this invention which shows this .

  Here, 1 is a waste oil recovery container of the present invention, which is a box-shaped container made of thick paper. This thick paper is usually assembled in a cubic shape so as to form an opening 2 on the upper surface by a cardboard such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, and the upper surface opening 2 is formed by a pair of lids 3 that can be opened and closed. Formed to be closed. The state in which the lid 3 opens the upper surface opening 2 is indicated by a two-dot chain line 3A in FIG. 1, and the state in which the lid 3 closes the upper surface opening 2 is indicated by a solid line and a dotted line 3B in FIG.

  The waste oil recovery container 1 has a configuration in which the entire inner surface has an oil-resistant inner surface. This oil-resistant inner surface is configured such that oil does not leak out to the outside by the synthetic resin layer, and this synthetic resin layer is impregnated on the inner surface of the thick paper or the inner surface of the thick paper. Any of the states in which such a synthetic resin film is attached may be used. Since the oil flowing out from the waste oil outlet of the engine at the time of oil replacement is hot, a material that can withstand this temperature is used for this oil-resistant inner surface. As one of them, a polyolefin-based synthetic resin such as polypropylene is used. The oil-resistant inner surface may be formed at least on the entire inner surface except the lid 3, but the oil-resistant inner surface may be formed on the inner surface of the lid 3.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes an oil container in which the new engine oil is sealed, and the new engine oil is sealed in a cylindrical can or a cylindrical synthetic resin container. 5 is a waste oil absorbing material, in which pulp chips, sawdust, finely chopped paper scraps, etc. are stored in a net-like bag or thin fiber bag through which oil can pass, one in which a plurality of thin papers are laminated, cotton And other fibers, and is a material that absorbs and retains oil that flows out from the waste oil port of the engine when the oil is changed.

  The waste oil collection container 1 sold as a product is in a state where the oil container 4 and the waste oil absorbing material 5 are housed therein, and the lids 3 and 3 close the upper surface opening 2. And, on the outer surface of the waste oil recovery container 1, this waste oil recovery container 1 can be applied (can be absorbed by the waste oil absorbent 5), and an appropriate amount of waste oil (for example, for 1 liter, for 2 liter, etc.), The display about the oil in the stuffed oil container 4 is printed. This oil-related display includes one or more items among items such as the amount of oil, the type of oil, the performance, the grade, the vehicle type to which the oil can be applied, and the manufacturer name of the vehicle to which the oil can be applied.

  The waste oil recovery container 1 of the present invention absorbs the amount of old engine oil (waste oil) to be replaced and the oil container in which new engine oil is sealed in an amount corresponding to the amount of old engine oil (waste oil) to be replaced. A waste oil absorbing material 5 having a capacity suitable for the storage is stored. In other words, the amount of new engine oil in the oil container 4 is in a state commensurate with the amount of old engine oil (waste oil) absorbed by the waste oil absorbent 5. For this reason, it is possible to purchase a new engine oil to be replaced with an old engine oil (waste oil) and a waste oil recovery container having a capacity for absorbing the amount of the waste oil to be replaced at the same time.

  Generally, since the amount of engine oil to be replaced differs depending on the size of the engine, a person who replaces the engine oil may purchase the waste oil collection container 1 corresponding to the amount of engine oil to be replaced. Accordingly, since the amount of engine oil to be replaced is substantially the same as the appropriate amount of waste oil that can be absorbed by the waste oil absorbent 5, the amount of oil in the oil container 4 is substantially the same as the amount of engine oil to be replaced. In this way, if the waste oil collecting container 1 applicable to the engine oil to be replaced is purchased, the engine oil in the oil container 4 stored therein can be used as it is for replacement, which is convenient.

  The waste oil collection container 1 is printed with an indication of an appropriate amount of waste oil that can be absorbed by the waste oil absorbent 5 on the outer surface of the waste oil collection container 1 and a new engine oil sealed in the oil container 4. The configuration is suitable for simultaneously selling engine oil. Whether to describe the usage of the waste oil collection container 1, how to discard the waste oil collection container 1 after oil recovery, etc., and the explanation about the engine oil in the oil container 4 as described above in print on the outer surface. Or by describing in the manual 8 accommodated in an inside, it becomes a structure further suitable for selling simultaneously the waste-oil absorber 5 and new engine oil.

  Further, in the waste oil recovery container 1, a simple glove 7 made of synthetic resin having a low oil resistance and a description of the engine oil as described above, how to use the waste oil recovery container 1, etc., are exposed when the lid 3 is opened. It is convenient to store a manual 8 describing the above.

  When storing the waste oil absorbing material 5 and the oil container 4 in the waste oil collecting container 1, the oil container 4 is stored at the bottom of the waste oil collecting container 1, and the waste oil absorbing material 5 is packed around the oil container 4, Although the upper surface opening 2 may be closed with the lids 3 and 3, the oil resistant synthetic resin layer on the inner surface of the waste oil recovery container 1 is prevented from being damaged by the contact with the oil container 4, and the oil container 4 is protected. In order to prevent damage to the waste oil collection container 1 due to the oil container 4 hitting, as shown in FIG. 2, the entire circumference of the oil container 4 is surrounded by the waste oil absorbent 5, and the oil container 4 Is preferably packed in a state of being embedded in the waste oil absorbing material 5.

  Note that at least the periphery of the oil container 4 except the upper part of the oil container 4 may be surrounded by the waste oil absorbing material 5, and the gloves 7 and the instructions 8 may be stored on the oil container 4. In this case, when the waste oil recovery container 1 is in a vertically long form, a packing form embedded in the waste oil absorbent 5 with the oil container 4 standing may be used.

  When exchanging engine oil, purchase an oil container 4 in which a new engine oil is sealed and a waste oil collection container 1 containing a waste oil absorber 5, and open the lid 3 to make a simple glove 7 made of synthetic resin or a description. Taking out the book 8 and the oil container 4 and arranging the waste oil absorbing material 5 uniformly, with the lid 3 opened as shown in FIG. 4, a two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle, a four-wheeled vehicle, etc. It is located under the engine oil waste oil outlet of the vehicle-equipped vehicle K. In this state, the screw plug of the engine oil waste oil port is opened, and the waste oil R is poured into the waste oil recovery container 1 from the upper surface opening 2. Since the poured waste oil R is absorbed and retained by the waste oil absorbent 5, if the lid 3 is closed after collecting the waste oil, the oil absorbed in the waste oil absorbent 5 together with the waste oil collection container 1 can be treated as incineration waste. Become.

  Thus, since the oil container 4 in which the new engine oil is sealed and the waste oil absorbing material 5 are stored in the waste oil recovery container 1 made of thick paper, the new engine oil is stored together with the waste oil recovery container 1 at the store. The sealed oil container 4 can be sold at the same time. In this case, the surface of the waste oil recovery container is printed with an appropriate amount of waste oil that can be absorbed by the waste oil absorbent and a display regarding the new engine oil sealed in the oil container. It can be known that the oil container 4 for engine oil is stored.

  For this reason, it has been necessary for the selling side to separately purchase the waste oil collecting container 1 and the oil container 4 in which the oil container 4 is not accommodated conventionally, and it took time and effort to purchase, but the present invention can save this trouble. Moreover, in the past, it was necessary to display each of these separate products, and it was necessary to separately manage the inventory of these two related products. In the present invention, these two related products are purchased at a time. Therefore, it is easy to display and sell two types of related products, and to easily manage inventory of the two types of related products.

  Therefore, when one of the waste oil recovery container 1 and the oil container 4 that do not contain the oil container 4 is sold out, the satisfaction level of customers who want to purchase both products and change the oil by themselves However, in the present invention, such a situation does not occur, so that sales satisfying customer satisfaction are possible. In addition, since waste oil that is generated when the engine oil is changed can be taken into the purchased waste oil collection container 1 and discarded, it is preferable from the viewpoint of environmental pollution countermeasures.
