Description

  The present invention relates to a cushioning material used for packaging an edible container having a substantially conical shape or a substantially pyramid shape for serving various frozen confections represented by ice cream cones and other confectionery.

  In general, when transporting ice cream cones that serve ice cream, a large number of ice cream cones are stacked and placed in rows to be held by a cushioning material and stored in an outer box. As this cushioning material, an air cushion made of a plastic film in which an ice cream cone storage recess is formed is used.

  However, in the cushioning material of the air cushion, if a minute hole is generated due to friction with the outer box or the like, air leaks from the hole and is deflated, so that the cushioning property is impaired and the ice cream cone may be damaged. .

  Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the shock absorbing material made from corrugated cardboard which can protect edible containers, such as an ice cream cone, reliably.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a buffer material for an edible container that is stacked and held in a state in which a conical edible container is stacked, and a cardboard sheet is cut to form a substrate, A tapered cone receiving piece for receiving the cone portion of the edible container and a row receiving piece for receiving the row in which the large diameter portions of the edible container are arranged are formed by press forming the cone receiving piece and the row receiving piece. It was curved along the edible container to form a storage recess for the edible container.

  Also, the end wall facing the both ends of the substrate is erected, and one end wall is formed as a double structure including an outer end plate and an inner end plate, and the cone portion side of the edible container stacked on the inner end plate The end insertion hole was inserted, and the size of the end insertion hole was set so that the tip of the cone portion of the edible container did not contact the outer end plate.

  In addition, when the cushioning materials are alternately turned and stacked, the edible container housed in the lower cushioning material is held and held by the upper cushioning pieces and the upper and lower cushioning materials are fitted. In this way, it is possible to prevent misloading.

  In the cushioning material according to the present invention, the movement of the ice cream cone is prevented by the cone receiving piece and the row receiving piece that are curved by press processing, so that the ice cream cone is prevented from being damaged during transportation, and also due to air leakage or the like. Since the buffering property is not impaired, an ice cream cone without any shape change can be delivered to the store.

  Hereinafter, as an example of the buffer material for edible containers of the present invention, an embodiment of a buffer material for ice cream cone will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The ice cream cone cushioning material is formed from a cardboard blank as shown in FIG. In this blank, a cardboard sheet is cut, and a portion that becomes the substrate 1, a tapered cone receiving piece 2 that receives the cone portion of the ice cream cone, and a row in which the large diameter portions of the ice cream cone are arranged are received. The row receiving pieces 3 are formed in 5 rows. The step of the corrugated board sheet faces the length direction of the cone receiving piece 2 and the row receiving piece 3.

  End walls 4 and 5 are connected to both ends of the substrate 1, and the end wall 4 includes an outer end plate 6, a top plate 7 and an inner end plate 8 sequentially connected to the substrate 1, and side walls 9 are connected to both sides of the substrate 1. It is installed. The inner end plate 8 is provided with an end insertion hole 10 for inserting the tip portion on the cone portion side of the ice cream cone on the extension of the cone receiving piece 2, and the top plate 7 has a cut line communicating with the end insertion hole 10. Is put.

  A leg piece 11 projects from the end wall 5 by cutting toward the row receiving piece 3, and a leg insertion hole 12 is provided from the outer end plate 6 to the top plate 7 corresponding to the leg piece 11. . In addition, two leg pieces 13 project from the outer end plate 6 by cutting into the substrate 1.

  In order to form the cushioning material from the blank as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, first, the blank receiving piece 2 and the row receiving piece 3 are obtained by sandwiching a blank corrugated cardboard sheet between press dies and compressing it by heating. Are plastically deformed so as to bend along the outer periphery of the ice cream cone C to be stored, and the storage recess 14 of the ice cream cone C is formed.

  When the cushioning material is assembled and used, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the outer end plate 6, the end wall 5, and each side wall 9 of the end wall 4 are erected from the substrate 1 to form leg pieces. 11 and 13 are projected downward from the substrate 1 and bent so as to wind the top plate 7 and the inner end plate 8 to form the end wall 4 having a double structure. The end wall 4 is shaped by inserting it into the extraction hole.

  Next, the ice cream cones C stacked in a row are stored so as to be fitted into the storage recesses 14 arranged in five rows, and the tip portion of the ice cream cone C in each row on the conical side is stored. Then, it is inserted into the end insertion hole 10 of the end wall 4 through the cut of the top plate 7.

  When the ice cream cone C is stored in such a cushioning material, the movement of the ice cream cone C is prevented by the cone receiving piece 2 and the row receiving piece 3 that are curved by pressing, and the size of the end insertion hole 10 is as follows. Since the tip of the cone portion of the ice cream cone C is set to a size that does not contact the outer end plate 6, damage to the ice cream cone C during transportation is prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the cushioning materials are alternately stacked and stacked, and the leg pieces 11 of the upper cushioning material are inserted into the leg insertion holes 12 of the lower cushioning material, the upper cushioning material is obtained. Since the lower cushioning material is held by the leg pieces 11 and 13 and the stacking is prevented, a plurality of cushioning materials can be transported simultaneously in a stable state.

  At this time, the upper cushioning material is supported by the end walls 4 and 5 of the lower cushioning material, and the ice cream cone C housed in the lower cushioning material is pressed by the cone receiving piece 2 of the upper cushioning material. Since it is held, the ice cream cone C is prevented from being damaged by vibration during transportation.

  Furthermore, when the cushioning material is stacked in this way and stored in the outer box B as shown in FIG. 7, it can be efficiently packed together and transported in this packed state to the inner surface of the outer box B. The ice cream cone C is prevented from being damaged by the collision of the air and the cushioning property is not impaired by the air leakage like the cushioning material of the air cushion, so that the ice cream cone C without deformation can be delivered to the store. .
