Description

  The present invention relates to a display frame used by wrapping around a cup container such as ice cream.

  As a kind of display frame as described above, Patent Document 1 discloses an advertising frame including a locking tongue piece. The advertising frame disclosed in Patent Document 1 is shown in FIG. In this advertising frame, the locking tongue piece enters into a circular concave portion present at the bottom of the cup container, thereby preventing the cup container from being displaced relative to the frame.

Japanese Patent No. 3458065

However, when the advertising frame disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document 1 is attached to a cup container, after assembling the strip-shaped blank into a cylindrical shape, the engaging tongue piece is further folded into the cylinder, and the cup container is framed. It needs to be inserted into the body.
That is, i) In the blank of FIG. 1 (a), the adhesive piece is bonded to the side wall to form a cylindrical frame. ii) The locking tongue piece is folded into the cylinder to obtain the state shown in FIG. iii) Insert the cup container into the frame as shown by arrow A in FIG.

  For this reason, the process in a manufacturing line becomes complicated, the number of processes increases, and it causes a cost increase.

In addition, FIG. 2 shows a frame shown as a conventional example in Patent Document 1. In this frame, the assembly process does not become complicated as described above, but there is another problem.
That is, the relative position between the cup container and the frame is prevented from being shifted by “holding the flange portion of the cup container with the slit-shaped holding portion existing on the back side of the tab in FIG. 2”. For this reason, it is necessary to make a cut in advance for forming the tab and the slit-shaped holding portion in the blank of the frame. That is, the blank configuration becomes complicated.

  In view of the above-described conventional circumstances, the object of the present invention is to simplify the structure of the frame body itself and to easily assemble the cup container, and to prevent the cup container and the frame body from being relatively loose. It is to provide a display frame that can be displayed.

  The present invention has been made in order to effectively solve the above problems, and provides a display frame having the following features.

The display frame of the present invention is composed of an elongated belt-like blank that is used by being wrapped around a cup container having a circular recess on the container bottom wall. The strip blank has an “insertion flap” at one end, a “container fixing flap” at the other end, and an “insertion slit” in the vicinity of the container fixing flap.
"Container fixing flap" is a shape having an arcuate outer peripheral edge extending over substantially equal and at least more than 180 ° angle range in central angle in the inner diameter of the circular recess of the cup container diameter. In a state where the “insertion flap” is inserted into the “insertion slit” and the display frame is wound around the cup container, the “container fixing flap” enters the circular recess of the cup container, and the display frame is Prevents displacement relative to the container.

In the display frame of the present invention having the above-described configuration, when the display frame is assembled to the cup container, the cup container is enclosed so as to be wrapped from above, and the insertion flap is inserted into the insertion slit. Can be fixed around the container. The container fixing flap is fitted into the circular recess at the bottom of the cup container, so that the display frame is stably fixed to the cup container without rattling. Moreover, it is not necessary to provide the “slit-shaped holding portion for fixing the cup container” as required in the conventional example of FIG. 2 in the strip blank constituting the display frame.
That is, the structure of the frame itself is simple, the assembly to the cup container is also simple, and the cup container and the frame can be effectively prevented from rattling relatively.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The display frame of the present invention is configured as a frame by assembling a flat plate-like elongated strip-like blank (FIG. 5) into a cylindrical shape (FIG. 6). Therefore, in the specification, both “band blank” and “display frame” are indicated by reference numeral 10.

  FIG. 3 is an upper perspective view showing the display frame 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention attached to the cup container 60, and FIG. 4 is a lower perspective view showing it from the bottom wall side.

  Although details will be described later, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the display frame 10 is used by being wrapped around the cup container 60, and the container fixing flap 30 is a circular recess 61 at the bottom of the cup container. Get inside and engage. Thereby, the display frame 10 is stably fixed without rattling with respect to the cup container 60.

On the display frame 10, for example, an advertisement about a product name and product content (specific content of ice cream in a cup container), a component display, and the like are printed. By providing such a display frame 10 separately from the cup container 60, the degree of freedom in design of the cup container itself can be increased, and a high-quality feeling of the product can be produced.
For example, in the example of FIGS. 3 and 4, a banana-flavored ice cream is accommodated in the cup container 60. In such a case, as shown in the figure, an image of a banana can be displayed on the entire surface of the cup container 60 and the lid, and in particular, full color printing is used to fully emphasize the material feeling of the contents and promote sales. The effect can be enhanced.
Such an effective design for cup containers has been desired in the past, but omitting the description of necessary ingredients such as raw materials and allergens would violate the fair competition rules, so images can be displayed on the entire cup surface. There wasn't. The present invention meets this demand by adopting a display frame that is different from the cup container.

<< Configuration of strip blank 10 (FIGS. 5 and 6) >>
The strip blank 10 has an elongated shape provided with an insertion flap 20 at one end and a container fixing flap 30 at the other end. An insertion slit 40 is formed in the vicinity of the container fixing flap 30.
By inserting the insertion flap 20 into the insertion slit 40, the cylindrical display frame 10 can be configured as shown in FIG.

In the developed view of FIG. 5, all the two-dot chain lines indicate creases. That is, when assembling the strip blank 10 into a cylindrical shape, the blank is folded at the position of each crease.
However, the crease 21 existing at the base of the insertion flap 20 and the crease 31 existing at the base of the container fixing flap 30 can be easily inserted into the insertion slit 40 by attaching a crease here. It is provided to do.

  Although illustration of the cup container is omitted in FIG. 6, in the state where the display frame 10 is wound around the cup container, as shown in FIG. 4, the container fixing flap 30 has a circular recess at the bottom of the cup container. It fits in 61 and prevents the display frame 10 from being displaced relative to the cup container 60.

≪Principle that container fixing flap 30 prevents backlash≫
In the developed view of FIG. 5, the container fixing flap 30 has a sector shape, and its diameter is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the circular recess 61 of the cup container and extends at an angle range of at least 180 ° at the central angle. ing. As a result of having such a shape, when the container fixing flap 30 enters the circular recess 61, the container fixing flap 30 is stored in a fixed position without rattling in the circular recess 61. That is, the entire display frame 10 is stably fixed to the cup container 60.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the above principle. In FIG. 7, an annular region 61 a indicates the peripheral wall of the circular recess 61, and the fan-shaped regions 30 a and 30 a ′ indicate the shape of the container fixing flap 30.
As shown in FIG. 7 (a), when the central angle α of the fan-shaped region 30a exceeds 180 °, the fan-shaped region 30a is in any direction of the arrows A to D with respect to the annular peripheral wall 61a. Without changing the relative position, it is stably stored in a fixed position.
In addition, the above is materialized only in an ideal state where there is no gap between the annular peripheral wall 61a and the fan-shaped region 30a. Actually, since there is a slight gap between the circular recess 61 at the bottom of the cup and the container fixing flap 30 of the display frame, it cannot be said that there is no backlash in a strict sense. However, considering qualitatively, the backlash can be suppressed smaller than in the case of FIG.

  FIG. 7B shows a case where the central angle α of the fan-shaped region 30a ′ is less than 180 °. In this case, even if the relative movement in the direction of the arrow A can be prevented, the relative movement in the directions of the arrows B ′ to D ′ cannot be prevented. As a result, the display frame 10 is moved relative to the cup container 60. Cannot be fixed stably.

Therefore, the following can be said. That is, in order to suppress rattling, the specific shape of the container fixing flap 30 is not limited to the illustrated one, and at least “the diameter is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the circular recess 61 of the cup container and the central angle is at least 180 °. A shape having an arcuate outer peripheral edge extending over an angular range of more than ° is sufficient. Accordingly, various forms can be adopted as long as this condition is satisfied.

<< Formation position of insertion slit 40 >>
In the illustrated example, the insertion slit 40 is provided along the crease 31 (FIG. 5). The crease 31 is located at the base of the container fixing flap 30 and extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the elongated strip blank 10.
When the insertion slit 40 is arranged at such a position, the slit cut in the flat blank 10 can be opened by gripping the container fixing flap 30 and attaching a crease to the crease 31, and thereafter It becomes easy to insert the insertion flap 20. That is, the opening operation is simplified.

  However, the insertion slit 40 is not limited to the illustrated position, and can be formed at an appropriate position such as near the center of the container fixing flap 30 or a position farther from the container fixing flap 30 than the illustrated position. .
