BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a box used when an empty tube container before filling contents is stored in a box body and transported from a tube container manufacturing factory to a contents filling factory.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in a tube container filled with contents such as creamy medicines and cosmetics, a cap is screwed into the mouth until the contents are filled, and the end of the body of the tube container is It is packed in a pass box in an open state. And most of the pass boxes are made of synthetic resin boxes, and empty tube containers are packed in a container manufacturing factory, loaded on a truck, etc., and set directly on a filling machine in a content filling factory. The tube container in the through box is supplied to the filling machine, and the empty tube container is filled with the contents. Such pass boxes include those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a plurality of empty tube containers 54 are accommodated in the box body 51. After the storage, the lid 55 is put on the opening of the box body 51, and the opening of the box body 51 is securely closed. A contact plate is set in the supply hole 52 of the box main body 51 from the inside, and is fixed to the box mounting base 56a of the filling machine 56 in the content filling factory. As shown in FIG. 7, the two boxes 50 are attached to the normal box mounting base 56 a in a symmetrical manner, as shown in FIG. 7. Then, after the pass box 50 is fixed to the pass box mounting base 56a, when the contact plate is removed from the pass box 50, the tube container 54 flows out from the supply hole 52 along the pass box mounting base 56a. And supplied to the filling machine 56. The box that has completed the supply of the tube container 54 is returned to the container manufacturing factory because the contact plate is again brought into contact therewith and used repeatedly.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, such an invention has the following drawbacks. As shown in FIG. 9, a gradient θ of about 0.5 to 2 ° is provided between the bottom surface 57 and the side surface 58 of the box 50. The reason why the gradient θ is provided is that the pass box 50 is usually formed by pouring molten resin into a mold, but the box body 51 of the pass box 50 can be easily extracted from the mold after molding. It is to do. That is, in order to facilitate extraction, the gradient θ is provided so as to spread from the bottom surface 57 side of the box body 51 toward the opening side. Conventionally, when the passing box 50 is set in the filling machine 56 and the tube container 54 is supplied to the filling machine, since this gradient θ is provided, as shown in FIG. The skirt part inclines in a lowered state and flows out from the supply hole 52. For this reason, the tube container 54 is caught at the outlet of the supply hole 52 or folded, so that the tube container 54 cannot be supplied to the filling machine 56 smoothly.
[0004]
The present invention has been made paying attention to such a conventional problem. By holding the empty tube container horizontally, the empty tube container is caught or clogged at the outlet of the supply hole of the box. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pass box that smoothes the flow of an empty tube container from the pass box to the filling machine by preventing the occurrence of the trouble and making the supply to the filling machine smooth.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve this problem, the pass box according to claim 1 is a pass box that accommodates an empty tube container with its bottom part facing the opening, and supplies the tube container to a filling machine, At least one supply hole is formed on the side surface, and a box body made of synthetic resin in which a draft angle for molding extending from the bottom surface toward the opening is formed, and the inner surface of the box body, the box body is used as a filling machine. a guide that is mounted on the side of the lower side when mounted in its side, Ri Do and a lid for closing the opening of the box body, the guide, and parallel Kayoibako mount of the filling machine, It consists of a guide plate having a surface on which an empty tube container is placed, and a guide body interposed between the guide plate and the side surface .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a box related to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing an example of a box body and a lid used in the box of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a box related to the present invention. FIG . Reference numeral 1 denotes a box body, which is made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or a metal. A rib 3a that reinforces the box body 1 is formed on the side surface 3 of the box body 1, and a supply hole 7 for supplying an empty tube container 6 to the filling machine is provided on the side surface 3 at least 1. More than one is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of supply holes 7 may be formed at opposite positions of the side surface 3, and the position of the supply holes 7 intersects the side surface 3 where the supply holes 7 exist. In other words, it is formed at a location along the side surface 3 that is adjacent.
[0008]
The size of the supply hole 7 is formed so that the tube container 6 can be supplied to the filling machine without any problem. A contact plate 8 that closes the supply hole 7 is disposed inside the box body 1 so that the tube container 6 does not flow out of the supply hole 7 during transportation. . The form of the contact plate 8 is bent in an L shape as shown in FIG. In addition, it may be a single plate. A lid 4 made of a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride is provided at the opening of the box body 1. The lid 4 is made of a transparent material so that the inner volume of the tube container 8 can be confirmed, and is joined by combining a thin plate and a rib for weight reduction. Note that the lid 4 is provided with a metal fitting 4a, so that the opening of the container body 1 can be reliably closed.
[0009]
FIG. 2 is a drawing showing an example of a box body and a lid used in the passing box of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, since there is a sampling gradient θ, when the box body 1 is set on the box mounting base 9 a of the filling machine 9, the skirt 6 a side of the tube container 6 is lowered and inclined. And although there exists a fault which the tube container 6 inclines and flows out from the supply hole 7 , according to this box, the flat surface part 5 of the cover body 4 is contact | abutted to the end surface of the skirt part 6a of the tube container 6, and a tube Since the container 6 is pressed toward the bottom surface 2 side of the box body 1, the tube container 6 is held horizontally within the box body 1 as shown in FIG. 4. The contact of the lid 4 with the bottom end face of the tube container 6 is sufficient if it is weak contact, and strong contact prevents the tube container 6 from smoothly flowing out. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 9, there is a gap H between the hem end surface of the tube container 54 and the lid body 55, but the inventors contact the flat surface portion of the lid body with the hem end surface. Thus, the gap H is completely eliminated to solve the above problem. In addition, when considering the smooth supply of the actual tube container 6, it is possible by appropriately changing the dimension from the flat surface portion 5 to the bottom surface 2 of the lid body 4 in accordance with the length of the tube container. A plurality of lids 4 having different dimensions and the like are prepared, and appropriate selection is made according to the height of the tube container 6 from among the lids 4 to enable quick response. If the thickness of the lid (the dimension from the surface of the lid to the flat surface) can be varied according to the length of the tube container, only one type of lid needs to be prepared.
[0010]
FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a pass box of the present invention. Similarly, when the box body 11 is set in the filling machine, the extraction gradient θ has a drawback that the skirt portion 16a side of the tube container 16 is stored while being inclined downward in the box body 1. In this box, this drawback was solved by providing a guide 17 between the side surface 13 and the tube container 16. The guide 1 7 tube container 16, when attached to Kayoibako mount filling machines, to come to the lower side of the tubular container 1, only to be provided at least one. As shown in FIG. 6, the guide 17 includes a guide plate 17a made of resin, wood, metal or the like, and a guide body 17b made of a resin material such as rubber or sponge. Needless to say, the thickness of the guide body 17b is arbitrarily determined in accordance with the gradient θ. As another example, the guide body 17b may have a triangular cross-section structure joined along the guide plate 17a. When the guide 17 is set on the box body 11 of the box, the tube container 11 is held horizontally in the box body 11. Thereby, the outflow from a supply hole and the supply to a filling machine become smooth. In addition , the box of the present invention can be supplied to the filling machine by being attached to the box mounting base of the filling machine, but together with the tube supply amount control device for controlling the supply amount of the tube container It may be attached to a filling machine (not shown).
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the empty tube container supplied to the filling machine can be held horizontally, so that the empty tube container is caught or clogged at the outlet of the supply hole of the box. In addition to preventing this, the flow to the empty tube container from the box to the filling machine can be smoothed by smoothing the supply to the filling machine.
