【0001】
【発明の技術分野】
この発明は、部分的に開封可能な両嵌合容器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
比較的薄い合成樹脂シートを成形した嵌合容器は、蓋の容器本体に対する嵌合形態によって、内嵌合、外嵌合、両嵌合に大別されるが、いずれの形態においても、蓋を部分開封するためには、蓋の一部を折り曲げる必要がある。しかしながら蓋の構造上、頂壁の周縁部からほぼ垂直にスカート部又は周壁が設けられているため、蓋を折り曲げるとスカート部又は周壁が破損してしまう恐れがある。
【0003】
【発明の課題】
そこで、外嵌合容器の蓋の周縁に溝を設け、その溝から液体を排出するようにしたものが例えば特許第3028231号公報に開示されている。しかし、この容器は、外嵌合容器であるため、蓋と容器本体との嵌合力が小さく、衝撃によって蓋が外れ易く、特に液体を含む内容物を収納する場合は、蓋を容器本体にヒートシールするのが普通であり、液体を排出するため、蓋を部分開封すると、その部分の蓋が折れ曲ったまま復元しなかったり、破損したりして、密閉性が悪くなってしまう問題がある。これは両嵌合容器の場合も同様である。
【0004】
上記問題を解決するため、本出願人は、蓋の頂壁内面に溝を設け、この溝に沿って蓋を折り曲げることができるようにした嵌合容器を提案している(特願2000−255022号)。しかしながら、頂壁内面に溝を設けると、頂壁外面に突条が形成されるため、頂壁にラベルを貼付けたり、積み重ねる際の障害になる問題が生じている。
【0005】
そこで、この発明の課題は、蓋の頂壁にラベルを貼付けたり、積み重ねの邪魔にならずかつ容易に蓋を折り曲げて部分開封を可能にすることである。
【0006】
【課題の解決手段】
上記の課題を解決するため、この発明は、容器本体の開口部外周全周に中空凸条を設け、蓋の頂壁外周全周に前記凸条と嵌合する凹条を設け、前記蓋の凹条の内側壁の2点間を結ぶ直線に沿って蓋の周辺部から所定の距離を隔てて蓋の頂壁外面に溝を設け、この溝に沿って蓋を屈曲可能にした柔軟で復元性を有する熱可塑性合成樹脂シートより成る両嵌合容器であって、前記溝の断面形状がほぼW字形状で中央部が突条になっており、前記突はその長さ方向の中間部において蓋の頂壁から突出せず、この突条の両端面によって前記蓋の凹条の内側壁に切欠きを形成し、この切欠きに対応して前記蓋の凹条の外側壁に切欠きを設けた構成を採用したのである。
【0007】
記蓋の凹条の外側壁切欠きの断面形状をほぼ三角形状にしておくのがよい。
【0008】
【実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。図1に示すように、この発明の嵌合容器は、容器本体10と蓋20より成る。いずれも厚さ0.2〜5.0mm程度の熱可塑性合成樹脂シートを真空成形、圧空成形又は真圧空成形法によって形成したものであって、具体的材料としては、比較的柔軟で復元性に富むアモルファスポリエステル、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレン系などの樹脂が好ましい。
【0009】
前記容器本体10は、底壁11と、その周縁から立ち上る周壁12を有し、周壁12の上端開口部12aの全周には巾の狭い段部13が設けられ、この段部13から中空凸条14の内側壁14aが立ち上り、平坦部を介して外側壁14bが垂下している。これらの内外側壁14a、14bは下方に向って間隔が狭くなるテーパ状になっている。そして外側壁14bの一部にタブ15が設けられている。
【0010】
前記蓋20は、図1、図2、図3に示すように、頂壁21の全周縁に凹条24を設けたものであって、この凹条24の内側壁24aと外側壁24bは下方に向って間隔が狭くなるテーパ状に形成され、前記容器本体10の凸条14に嵌合して圧着するようになっている。そして頂壁21には、前記凹条24の内側壁24aの2点間を結ぶ直線に沿って、溝22が設けられている。この溝22の断面形状は、ほぼW字形で中央部に突条22aを設けたものがよい。この突条22aの両端22cは、図3に示すように、内側壁24aの上縁、即ち凹条24の底面の平坦部に達しており、突条22aの端面によって、内側壁24aに切欠きを形成している。
【0011】
前記溝22の両端の延長線に対応して、前記凹条24の外側壁24bに、一対の切欠き24c、24cが設けられている。この切欠き24c、24cの形状は、ほぼ三角形のほか、半円形、半長円形などでもよい。なお、図2の符号25はタブを示す。このタブ25は溝22と平行に設けておくのがよい。
【0012】
上述のような嵌合容器を開封する場合は、容器本体10のタブ15に対応する蓋20のタブ25を指で持ち上げ、蓋20の凹条24と容器本体10の凸条14との係合を解きながらさらに蓋20を引き上げると、図4に示すように、蓋20は溝22に沿って折れ曲り、部分開口が形成される。このとき、蓋20の凹条24の内外側壁24a、24bに、溝22の両端に対応して、切欠き24c及び突条22aの両端面による切欠き(内側壁24aの欠落部)を形成しておくと、折れ曲りを阻害することなく容易に屈曲し、また凹条24が破損することもない。この部分開口から内容物の一部や液体成分を排出することができる。また、排出後は、再封することも簡単にできる。なお、溝22が、ほぼW字形で中央に突条22aを形成したものは、突条22aの内面側が溝22bとなるため、折れ曲がりがより容易に行われる。
【0013】
この発明に係る嵌合容器の蓋20の平面形状は、図2に示すような円形状に限らない。その他の多角形や楕円形或は異形の容器でもよい。また、頂壁21の外面に設ける溝22も1本に限定されることなく2本以上であってもよい。
【0014】
【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、以上のように、両嵌合容器の蓋の周辺部から所定の距離を隔てて蓋の頂壁外面に溝を設けたので、この溝に沿って蓋を容易に屈曲することができ、従って部分開口を簡単に形成することができ、開封時に内容物の液体成分が飛散するようなことがなく、また密封性を損なうことなく容易に再封可能である。また、溝であるため、蓋の頂壁に、ラベルの貼付けや積み重ねの邪魔になる突出部がない。
【0015】
さらに、前記溝に対応して、蓋の内外側壁に切欠きを形成すると、屈曲性をより高めることができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a both-fitting container that can be partially opened.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A fitting container formed with a relatively thin synthetic resin sheet is roughly classified into an inner fitting, an outer fitting, and both fittings depending on the fitting form of the lid to the container body. In order to partially open, it is necessary to bend a part of the lid. However, because of the structure of the lid, the skirt portion or the peripheral wall is provided substantially perpendicularly from the peripheral edge portion of the top wall. Therefore, when the lid is bent, the skirt portion or the peripheral wall may be damaged.
[0003]
[Problems of the Invention]
Thus, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3028231 discloses a groove provided on the periphery of the lid of the outer fitting container and the liquid is discharged from the groove. However, since this container is an outer fitting container, the fitting force between the lid and the container main body is small, and the lid is easily removed by impact. Especially when storing contents containing liquid, the lid is heated to the container main body. It is normal to seal, and in order to discharge the liquid, there is a problem that if the lid is partially opened, the lid of the part is folded and cannot be restored or damaged, resulting in poor sealing performance . The same applies to both fitting containers.
[0004]
In order to solve the above problem, the present applicant has proposed a fitting container in which a groove is provided on the inner surface of the top wall of the lid and the lid can be bent along this groove (Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-255022). issue). However, if a groove is provided on the inner surface of the top wall, a protrusion is formed on the outer surface of the top wall, which causes a problem that becomes an obstacle when a label is attached to the top wall or stacked.
[0005]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to allow partial opening by attaching a label to the top wall of the lid or by easily folding the lid without obstructing the stacking.
[0006]
[Means for solving problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a hollow ridge on the entire outer periphery of the opening of the container body, a concave ridge that fits the ridge on the entire outer periphery of the top wall of the lid, A groove is formed on the outer surface of the top wall of the lid at a predetermined distance from the periphery of the lid along a straight line connecting the two points on the inner wall of the concave stripe, and the lid can be bent along this groove to be flexible and restored. a two mating container made of thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet having a sex, a central portion in the cross-sectional shape Gaho URN W-shape of the groove has become a ridge, before Ki突 conditions is of its length does not protrude from the top wall of the lid in an intermediate portion, a notch is formed on the inner wall of concave of the lid by both end surfaces of the protrusions, the outer wall of concave of the lid in response to this notch A configuration with notches was used.
