Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container that is sold in a state of containing ice cream, parfait, or the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a container holder fixed to the outer periphery of such a container.
[0002]
[Background Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
For example, in a cup-filled pudding that contains and sells pudding, the upper surface of the pudding, which is the contents, is flat. It is. The same applies when the contents are jelly or the like.
[0003]
However, when a dome-shaped lid is required, such as a cup container for storing topping ice or parfait, it is difficult to heat-seal the dome-shaped lid to the cup. For example, the lid member is connected to the cup using the elastic engagement or the like, and the sticker paper is attached and sealed.
[0004]
The present invention provides a container holder that eliminates such sticker paper and that can prevent damage to the container during distribution, protect contents from external light, and secure a printing area for advertisement. It is an issue.
[0005]
[Means / Actions / Effects to Solve Problems]
The present invention was devised to effectively solve the above-described problems, and provides a container holder having the following features.
[0006]
That is, the container holder of the present invention has an outer peripheral side with respect to a container provided with “a housing body having a disk-shaped bottom” and “a lid member having a flange on the periphery and attached to the top of the housing body”. Connected to The container holder is formed in a polygonal cylindrical shape, and the peripheral wall portion constituting the polygon has “a bottom holding opening for holding the outer peripheral portion of the disk-shaped bottom portion” and “the outer peripheral portion of the flange. The upper hold opening "is formed. Each opening of the container holder holds the housing main body and the lid member, so that the state in which the container is closed with the lid member is maintained.
[0007]
When the container holder of the present invention having the above-described configuration is used, the holder itself has a function of connecting the container main body and the lid material, and therefore, the sealing paper for sealing the lid member, which has been conventionally required, may be omitted. it can.
[0008]
In addition, since the cylindrical container holder protects the container from the outer peripheral side, the contents (ice cream, parfait, etc.) can be protected from external light, and can be prevented from being oxidized and losing the taste. . Furthermore, there is an advantage that the container holder serves as a protective member to prevent the container from being damaged during transportation and to secure a printing area for product advertisement or the like.
[0009]
In addition, since the container holder of this invention is a polygonal cylindrical body, when the container accommodated inside is a cylindrical shape, a clearance gap arises in the corner part of a cylindrical body. It is also possible to accommodate accessories such as spoons using this gap.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0011]
Configuration of container Fig. 1 shows a container to which the container holder of the present invention is applied. The container 1 is sold in a state in which, for example, ice cream or parfait is accommodated. The container 1 includes a housing body 20 that houses ice cream and the like and a lid 10.
[0012]
The housing main body 20 includes a disc-shaped bottom portion 21, and can thereby stand on its own. On the other hand, the lid 10 has a dome shape and has a flange 11 on the periphery thereof. The lid 10 is connected to the housing body 20 at the upper flange 22 of the housing body 20.
[0013]
The lid 10 has an engaging portion (not shown) slightly inside the flange 11, and is connected to the housing body 20 by elastically engaging the engaging portion and the upper flange 22 of the housing body 20. . Further, as will be described later, since the housing main body 20 and the lid 10 are connected by the container holder 30 (see FIG. 2), the lid 10 may be simply placed on the upper side of the upper flange 22.
[0014]
Configuration of container holder FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the container holder 30. The container holder 30 is configured in a rectangular tube shape and includes four peripheral walls 31a to 31d. Hold openings 32a to 32d (openings having a hold function) are formed in the upper part of each peripheral wall. These openings hold the flange periphery of the container lid 10.
[0015]
Folding flaps 33a and 33c are formed on the bottoms of the two peripheral walls 31a and 31c facing each other via folding rules. The folding flap 33a can be folded back into the holder as indicated by an arrow A in FIG. The same applies to the folding flap 33c formed on the opposite peripheral wall 31c. The folding flaps 33a and 33c are formed with hold openings 34a and 34c for holding the peripheral edge of the bottom of the housing body of the container lid 10.
[0016]
As shown in the partially broken view of FIG. 3, the folding flap 33 a is folded back to the inside of the holder, and the holding opening 34 a formed therein holds the periphery of the housing main body bottom 21. In FIG. 3, the folding flap 33c on the opposite side is omitted for the sake of clarity.
[0017]
As can be seen from the central longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 4, the flange 11 of the lid 10 is held in the upper hold openings 32a to 32d, and the disc-shaped bottom portion 21 of the housing body 20 is held in the bottom hold openings 33a and 33c. That is, the container body 30 maintains the housing body 20 and the lid 10 in a connected state. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the connection between the housing body 20 and the lid 10 of the container 1 only by the holder 30, and in that case, without providing a means for engaging the housing body 20 and the lid 10 with each other, A configuration in which the lid 10 is placed on the container 20 is also possible.
[0018]
In the illustrated example, the lower side hold openings 34a and 34c are formed with respect to the folding flaps 33a and 33c. However, without providing such folding flaps, the same as the case of the upper side holding openings 32a to 32d. In addition, the hold opening may be formed directly on the peripheral wall surface on the lower side. When the folding flaps 33a and 33c are provided and the bottom holding openings 34a and 34c are provided therein as in the illustrated example, the head of the container 1 is inserted from below the cylindrical holder 30. There is an advantage that the holder 30 can be easily attached to the container.
[0019]
Further, when a pentagonal or hexagonal polygonal cylinder is employed as the container holder, a folding flap having a hold opening can be provided on an appropriate arbitrary wall surface.
[0020]
Easily breakable region A ridge line exists at the boundary between the peripheral walls 31a to 31d. Easily breakable regions 35a to 35d constituted by perforations are provided in the upper part of the holder of each ridge line. By providing the easily breakable regions 35a to 35d, as shown in FIG. 5, the holder can be broken with both hands and the container can be easily taken out. The easily breakable region is not limited to a specific configuration as long as it is a region that can be easily broken, such as a perforation in addition to a perforation.
[0021]
In the illustrated example, the container holder 30 is formed in a rectangular cylinder shape, but a triangular cylinder, a pentagonal cylinder, a hexagonal cylinder, or other polygons may be employed. When the container holder is polygonal, when the container held therein is cylindrical, a gap is formed at the corner of the polygon inside the holder, and an accessory such as a spoon can be accommodated in the gap. .
[0022]
In the embodiment described above, the container holder 30 attached as a separate member to the container 1 composed of the housing body 20 and the lid 10 has been described. However, the housing body 20, the lid 10 and the container holder The total of 30 can be considered as one container.
