Embodiments of the box of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of the box of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective partial views showing other embodiments of the box of the present invention, and FIG. It is the plane schematic diagram which looked at the box 1 from the top.
The box 1 of the present invention includes a box body 2, a hanging tool 3, and a tab 4.
A box body 2 shown in FIG. 1 is a box made of paper or synthetic resin, and has a front part 2A, a back part 2B (not shown), and a side part 2C, and is apparent from the schematic plan view of FIG. The whole has a hexagonal columnar shape. And the hole 2D for attaching the hanging tool 3 to the top | upper surface opens. The hanging tool 3 protrudes upward from the inside of the box body 2 through the hole 2D on the top surface. It is preferable that the hanging tool 3 has a hook-shaped portion 3A and has a hook shape so that the box 1 is suspended from the display rod 6. The hanging tool 3 may have an annular part (not shown). However, if the hanging part 3A has a hook-like part 3A, not only the box 1 can be taken in and out via the tip part 6A of the display bar 6, but also the display bar 6 Since the box 1 can be taken out from the side and the box 1 can be hung on the display rod 6 from the side, it is more convenient than the case of having an annular portion.
The hanging tool 3 is a method conventionally used for the hole 2D, for example, a method in which a tongue piece appropriately provided around the hole 2D is sandwiched between cuts provided in the hanging tool 3, and the hanging tool 3 is placed behind the top surface. It is attached by the method of sticking using an adhesive tape.

The tab 4 used in the box 1 of the present invention protrudes upward from the top surface of the box body 2. In FIG. 1, a part of the tab 4 is affixed to the back part 2B (not shown) of the box body 2, but may be affixed to the front part 2A. When the box body 2 is made of a synthetic resin, a part of the box body 2 may protrude to form the tab 4. However, as will be described later, the tab 4 is preferably attached and fixed. In addition to being able to function as well, the structure of the box 1 is simple and easy to assemble.
The tab 4 is made of a synthetic resin film having a transparent or translucent elasticity, and has a rigidity that can stand up against gravity. Furthermore, it has elasticity to bend when it comes into contact with the hanging display bar 6 and to become self-supporting again when the external force is removed. When the tab 4 is made of a transparent or translucent film, the identification part 41 of the tab 4 of the rear box 1 suspended from the display rod 6 can be seen through the front transparent or translucent tab 4. The tab 4 is not colorless and may be colored, transparent or translucent, and it is sufficient that the opposite side can be seen through even if several sheets, preferably several tens of sheets are stacked.
Moreover, the tab 4 protrudes upward from the back surface part or front surface part of the box main body 2, and is provided over 1/3 thru | or all of the width | variety of the back surface part or front surface part. Visibility of the identification part 41 mentioned later provided in the tab 4 is improved by providing the width | variety of the tab 4 with the width | variety of 1/3 or more of a back part or a front part. Therefore, the tab 4 is prevented from obstructing or damaging the tab 4 when the hanging tool 3 is hung on the display rod 6. Further, it is preferable that the selection range when changing the position of the identification unit 41 described later is widened by increasing the width of the tab 4 to some extent.

  The identification part 41 of the tab 4 which concerns on this invention is arrange | positioned in the predetermined position according to the kind of accommodation. As a result, if the position where the identification unit 41 is arranged is visually recognized, the type of the stored item can be known, so that the consumer can list the product in front of the display bar and immediately check the name, size, etc. of the product and purchase the product. This makes it easier to manage inventory at retail stores. For example, in FIG. 1, the identification part 41a is located at the right end of the tab 4 protruding from the back part 2B of the box body 2, and is displayed in front of the display bar, and displays a large size display “L” of the identification part 41a. It is easily visible from the position. In FIG. 2, the identification part 41b is located at the left end of the tab 4 protruding from the back part 2B of the box body 2, and is listed from the front of the display bar, and displays a small size display “S” from the position of the identification part 41b. Is easily visible. In FIG. 3, the identification part 41c is in the center part of the tab 4 protruding from the back part 2B of the box body 2, and is listed from the front of the display rod, and the middle size display “M” is displayed at the position of the identification part 41c. Easily visible. In addition to the size display described above, these identification portions 41 may be printed with red for red, white for white, or background for characters to indicate the color of the contents. Symbols and characters may be printed for display.

FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view showing another embodiment in which the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A of the tab 4 is high. FIGS. 6 and 7 are front schematic views showing other embodiments in which the height hf is high. It is a figure and a back schematic diagram.
In the box 1 of the present invention, the effect of the present invention can be further enjoyed when the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A, which is a portion protruding upward from the top surface of the box body 2 of the tab 4, is high.
5-7, in the box main body 2, a part of tab 4 is affixed on the back surface part 2B, and comprises the affixing part 4B (it is not shown in FIG. 5 and 6, but is shown in FIG. 7). is doing. The tab 4 does not contact the display rod 6 at the time of display by forming a recess 4D that lowers the height h of the tab 4 in the width region (generally the central region) of the hanging tool 3 in the width direction of the box body 2. It is configured as follows. Here, if a taper or a curve is formed at the upper end of the recess 4D of the tab 4, the height hf on both sides of the recess 4D of the tab 4 is higher than that of the lower end of the hook-shaped portion 3A of the hanging tool 3. The shape portion 3A can be easily hung on the display rod 6, and the bending of the tab 4 can be minimized.
In FIG. 5, the identification unit 41 d is in the center on the right side of the tab 4 protruding from the back surface part 2 B of the box body 2, listed in front of the display bar, and displays a middle size display “M” at the position of the identification unit 41 d. Easily visible. In FIG. 6, the identification part 41e is located at the left end of the tab 4 protruding from the back part 2B of the box body 2, and is listed from the front of the display bar, and a small size display “S” is displayed from the position of the identification part 41e. Is easily visible. In FIG. 7, the identification portion 41f is located at the right end of the tab 4 protruding from the back surface portion 2B of the box body 2 when viewed from the front, and identifies the large size display “L” listed from the front of the display bar. It is easily visible from the position of the portion 41f.
Further, in FIGS. 5 to 7, since the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A is high, the identification portions 41d to 41f can be provided at a high position away from the top surface of the box body 2 and the visibility is further improved. is doing. Further, since the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A can be set near the height of the hanging tool, the display area of the tab 4 can be increased, and the areas of the identification portions 41d to 41f are also increased. It becomes possible to improve visibility. As described above, the tab 4 has such a rigidity that it can stand up against gravity, and even if the tab 4 is bent because the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A is high, the external force is removed again. Since the self-supporting elasticity is provided, the visibility is not lowered by taking in and out from the side of the display rod 6 of the box 1.

If the box 1 of the present invention is used, it is possible to easily suspend the display bar 6 even when the area of the tab 4 is large and the height is high. In particular, when the height ht from the top surface of the box body 2 to the lower end 3B of the hook-shaped portion of the hanging tool 3 is lower than the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A of the tab 4 (see FIG. 6). However, the tab 4 is preferable because it does not become an obstacle to suspension. When the tab 4 overlaps with the bowl-shaped portion 3 </ b> A when viewed from the front of the box 1, the effect of the above high hf is particularly preferably exhibited.
In addition, when the width of the portion where the tab 4 is erected is narrow, not only when the box is small, but also the width of the front surface and the back surface is reduced to improve the design, the top surface has at least six sides and the back surface of the box When the width of the front portion or the front portion is narrower than the maximum width of the box, specifically, even when the top surface is hexagonal as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. Therefore, it is preferable that necessary information can be easily viewed.
In addition, it is good also considering the standing part 4A of the tab 4 as only the right side or only the left side of the back part 2B or the front part 2A according to the kind of accommodation. In that case, the tab provided on the side opposite to the lower end 3B of the hook-shaped portion of the hanging tool 3 does not necessarily need to be formed of a synthetic resin film having elasticity, and is made of paper or the like and has high rigidity and cannot be restored. It may be anything.

Next, a display method using the box 1 of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the display method of the present invention hangs a plurality of boxes 1 by hanging a hanging tool 3 provided on the top surface of the box 1 on a display bar 6 provided horizontally on a display shelf. It is the display method of the box 1 arrange | positioned in the front-back direction. As described above, the plurality of boxes 1 are arranged in which the identification unit 41 for identifying the contents of the tab 4 provided so as to protrude upward from the top surface of the box 1 is arranged at a predetermined position according to the type of the contents. And the position of the identification part 41 of all the boxes 1 can be visually recognized from the front of the display rod 6 through the one or more other boxes 1 placed in front. At this time, it is preferable to arrange the boxes 1 having the same identification part 41 together because the visibility is further enhanced.

  The display method of the present invention will be described more specifically. In FIG. 5, first, when the box 1 is hung on the hanging tool 3, the tip end 6 </ b> A of the display rod 6 is inserted under the hook-shaped part 3 </ b> A of the hanging tool 3. That is, the hanging tool 3 is hung on the display rod 6 from the front. When it is desired to newly add a box 1 in the middle of a display bar 6 on which a plurality of boxes 1 are already mounted, for example, when a product box of size S is placed on the front and a product box of M is placed on the back, S In order to add M so that M and M are not mixed, from the lower end 3B of the hook-shaped part of the hanging tool 3 so that the hook-shaped part 3A of the hanging tool 3 is positioned on the display rod 6, That is, the hanging tool 3 is hung on the display rod 6 from the lateral direction. At this time, if the maximum height hf of the upright portion 4A is high, the tab 4 comes into contact with the display rod 6. If the tab has more rigidity than necessary, the tab becomes an obstacle, making it difficult to insert from the side. In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, when the tab 4 completely overlaps the lower end 3B of the bowl-shaped portion of the hanging tool 3, and the display rod 6 does not contact the tab 4, the tab 4 cannot be hung on the display rod. In the present invention, since the synthetic resin film as described above is used as the material of the tab 4, its shape changes depending on the force applied from the display bar when the display bar 6 comes into contact. That is, the standing tab 4 falls forward or backward. Therefore, the hook-shaped portion 3 </ b> A of the hanging tool 3 is arranged on the display rod 6 without being disturbed by the tab 4, and the box 1 is suspended by the display rod 6. At this time, the tab 4 is restored to its upright state as shown in FIGS.

  In the box 1 of the present invention, the tab 4 is usually attached manually. In order to eliminate a pasting error at that time, it is preferable that a tab type identification mark Mt is printed on the back surface of the tab 4 and a box type identification mark Mc corresponding to the box body is provided as shown in FIG. . It is preferable that the position corresponding to the tab type identification mark Mc on the tab remains transparent without being printed so that an error can be found after pasting.

FIG. 8 is a schematic back view showing another embodiment of the box 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 8, the sticking part 4B of the tab 4 also serves as a virgin seal. Thereby, since it is not necessary to stick a virgin seal, the productivity of a packaging process improves. Thus, when the tab 4 also serves as a virgin seal, as shown in FIG. 8, if the opening preventer 5 sealed by the virgin seal is provided at the top of the box body 2, the synthetic resin of the tab 4 is used. It is economical because the amount of film used can be reduced.
Here, the virgin seal is used to make it possible to confirm at a glance whether the seal has been opened or not. A seal that has been opened once (virgin seal) is not new.
Since the virgin seal is always opened when the product is used, it is preferable to provide a virgin seal knob portion 4C below the center of the sticking portion 4B so that the virgin seal is easily opened.

The synthetic resin used for the tab 4 according to the present invention includes polyethylene resin {low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), etc.}, polypropylene resin {unstretched polypropylene film (CPP) etc.}, polyester resin (polyethylene terephthalate etc.), polyamide resin (nylon 6, nylon 66 etc.) etc. are preferably used. The film thickness is preferably 10 to 1000 μm, more preferably 30 to 300 μm.
It is preferable that a pressure-sensitive adhesive is preliminarily applied to one side of the sticking portion 4B of the tab 4 so that the sticking portion 4B can be stuck to the box body 2.
