Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a film package in which a plurality of packages are packaged together with a film.

  For example, beverages containing polyethylene terephthalate bottles (PET bottles), for example, may be sold after shrink packaging (multipack packaging), for example, four or six. When transporting such multi-pack packages of PET bottles, the multi-pack packages are sequentially stacked on the container (pallet) through the partition plates while being arranged in an aligned manner. Then, a plurality of multi-pack packages stacked on a container are bundled together with a partition plate, wound with a stretch film, and integrated and transported. Then, when opened, the wound stretch film is cut in the longitudinal direction with a cutter knife, separated into individual multi-pack packages, and delivered, displayed, sold, and the like.

  However, stretch film with good adhesion is wrapped around the surface of shrink-wrapped multi-pack package, so there are many areas where the shrink film and stretch film are in close contact, and the stretch film is opened with a cutter knife when opened. When cutting deeply, if the cutter knife is inserted deeply by mistake, the shrink package of the multi-pack package will also be damaged, so it is difficult and time-consuming to open the multi-pack package without damaging the shrink package. It was a thing.

  In addition, such a problem is the same for the multi-pack package containing 6 bottles. When the shrink package of the multi-pack package is cut with a cutter knife and separated into individual PET bottles for sale, There is a risk of accidentally scratching the PET bottle itself with a cutter knife.

  Then, this invention is made in view of the said conventional problem, In the film package body opened by cutting a film with cutters, such as a cutter knife, the thing inside a film is damaged by a cutter at the time of opening. It is an object to provide a film package that can be prevented.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the film package according to the present invention is a film in which a plurality of packages to be packaged arranged in a vertical and horizontal alignment so as to be substantially square in plan view are collectively formed of a film. In the film package that is packaged and opened by cutting the film with a blade, a protective member is provided between the package and the film to protect the package from the blade at the time of opening , The protective member is formed in a triangle in a horizontal sectional view, and the protective member is installed at a corner of the film package so as to leave a gap between the film and the two surfaces of the protective member .

  In the film package of this structure, since the protective member is provided between the packaged object and the film, when cutting the film with the blade at the time of opening, the blade is positioned at the position where the protective member is provided. Can be pressed to cut the film.

  As described above, in the film package according to the present invention, since the film can be cut by pressing a cutter such as a cutter knife at a position where the protective member is provided, the packaged object is cut by the cutter when opened. There is an effect that the damage is surely prevented.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of a film package according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The film package shown in FIG. 1 has a multipack package 2 (vertical two rows and three rows) in which, for example, six PET bottles 1 (PET bottles containing beverages) are shrink-wrapped, and the multipack package. The body 2 is stacked and arranged in a vertical and horizontal alignment on the partition plate 4 disposed on the container 3 so as to form a substantially square shape in plan view, and the partition plate 4 is further placed on the partition plate 4. The second stage is stacked and arranged in the same manner as the first, and the same four stages are stacked in the same manner. In addition, the partition plate 4 is also placed on the uppermost multipack package 2, and the multipack package 2 in each step is sandwiched vertically by the partition plate 4. The partition plate 4 is placed on the cap of each PET bottle 1.

  The multipack package 2 stacked for transportation in this way is packaged and integrated together by its elastic force so as to be wound a plurality of times while stretching the stretch film 5 together with the partition plate 4. . When winding with the stretch film 5, a protective member 6 for protecting the shrink film of the multipack package 2 from a cutting tool such as a cutter knife at the time of opening at a predetermined position around the stacked multipack package 2. The stretch film 5 is wound from the outside.

  The protection member 6 extends vertically so as to bridge from the uppermost partition plate 4 to the lowermost partition plate 4, and various shapes and materials can be used. It is made of cardboard, cardboard, plastic plate, metal plate, or the like. As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), a groove 10 serving as a guide for the cutter knife may be formed along the longitudinal direction on the outer surface of the plate-like protective member 6 (guiding tool guide structure). . The concave groove 10 may have a V-shape as shown in FIG. 2 (B) in addition to a rectangular shape in a horizontal section as shown in FIG. 2 (A). Further, the number of the concave grooves 10 is not limited to one, and a plurality (for example, two places) may be provided as shown in FIG. Furthermore, instead of the concave groove 10, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), one or a plurality of convex ridges 11 may be formed as a guide for the cutter knife. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2 (d), a step 12 may be provided on one surface of the protective member 6, and the step 12 may be used as a guide for a cutter knife. In addition to the flat plate shape, the protective member 6 may have a U-shape in a horizontal cross section as shown in FIG. 2 (e), and the stretch film 5 is floated in a U-shaped recess. The work load can be reduced by making it easier to insert the cutter knife. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2 (f), the protective member 6 may be a triangle in horizontal sectional view, and the cutter knife can be inserted from two directions as indicated by arrows. In addition, also regarding the material of the protection member 6, it is a flexible material (for example, the resin rod-shaped body which has a ditch | groove, and can deform | transform along the unevenness | corrugation of the surface (side surface) of each multipack package 2 and the partition plate 4. The bottom of the groove may be a metal plate that cannot be cut with a blade of a cutter knife), and such a flexible material does not impair the integral wrapping (binding force) due to the elastic force of the stretch film 5.

  Moreover, the protective member 6 can be provided in various places, as shown in FIG. 1, in addition to the center of one side of the multipack package 2 stacked in a substantially square shape in plan view, It may be a nearby location. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), a protective member 6 having a triangular shape in a horizontal cross section can be installed at a corner. In the case of FIG. 3A, by placing the protective member 6 so that the right-angled vertex 6a of the right-angled isosceles triangle is located at the corner, the blade can be inserted from two directions as indicated by arrows. In addition, FIG. 3B is the same, except that two grooves 10 serving as guides for blade insertion are formed on the two surfaces of the protective member 6, respectively. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3C, the angle between the two surfaces of the protective member 6 may be set to 60 degrees, for example, so that a gap is formed between the stretch film 5 and the two surfaces of the protective member 6. In these forms, the blade is put on two different surfaces of the protective member 6 and the unsealing property can be improved.

  Moreover, it is set as the structure which provides an adhesion layer in the back surface of the protection member 6, and the whole is the stretch film 5 in the state which temporarily fixed the protection member 6 to the multipack package 2 which was the packaged object by the adhesion layer. It can also be wound. In this form, the installation work of the protection member 6 becomes easy.

  In the film packaging body configured as described above, the protective member 6 is provided on the inner side of the wound stretch film 5, so that a blade such as a cutter knife hits the protective member 6 when opened. Thus, the stretch film 5 can be cut in the vertical direction. Therefore, the protection member 6 can protect the multipack package 2 from a cutter such as a cutter knife, and can prevent the shrink film of the multipack package 2 from being damaged.

  In addition, in this embodiment, although the case where the stretch film 5 which package-wraps the multipack package body 2 containing 6 as a package is cut is explained, the individual PET bottles 1 of the multipack package body 2 are cut. The same applies to a case in which a package is to be packaged and a shrink film for shrink wrapping is cut with a cutter such as a cutter knife. In that case, if the protective member 6 is interposed between the shrink film and the PET bottle 1 in the multipack package 2, a cutter such as a cutter knife is pressed against the position of the protective member 6 to cut the shrink film. This can prevent the PET bottle 1 from being damaged. As described above, the items to be packaged are not limited to those described above, and various items can be used as items to be packaged.

  In addition, the plate-shaped protection member 6 may be disposed obliquely when viewed from the front to improve the unsealing property.

The film packaging body which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is shown, (A) is a top view, (B) is sectional drawing seen from the front. (A) thru | or (F) is a horizontal sectional view which shows the protection member used for the film packaging body which concerns on other embodiment of this invention.
