Description

  The present invention relates to a cup storage case that can be attached to an article such as a bottle-type container while the cup is stored.

  Conventionally, various packaging materials have been used as cases for wrapping cups. Of these, cup storage cases in which sheet materials such as synthetic resin sheets and cardboard are assembled are frequently used because they can be manufactured at a relatively low cost and can be folded and stored flat when not in use.

By the way, the cup is not only sold by itself, but also may be sold attached to other articles. For example, there is a system in which a cup is attached to a bottle-type container containing a beverage for sale. In such a sales method, the cup itself is not the object of transfer, and the cup may be attached as a promotional gift for the article.
Conventionally, a cup storage case 100 as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is used in such a sales system.
This cup storage case 100 is formed by assembling sheet materials, and has three sides of a rectangular parallelepiped case main body 120 having an upper surface opening type capable of storing the cup A therein, and an upper surface opening portion 123 of the case main body 120. And a holding piece 130 that holds the cup A in a non-detachable manner in contact with the opening end of the stored cup A by being bent inward.
The three holding pieces 130 have a flat plate shape, and an insertion port 140 having a smaller diameter than the opening of the cup A is formed in the plane. In the cup storage case 100, after the cup A is put in the case main body 120, the holding pieces 130 are sequentially folded and stacked, and the holding piece 130 to be finally bent is fixed to the case main body 120, whereby the upper end of the cup A is opened. Can be stored and held by the holding piece 130, and the insertion port 140 of the holding piece 130 communicates with the opening of the cup A.
The cup storage case 100 can be attached to the container B by inserting the insertion port 140 of the storage case 100 in which the cup has been stored into the neck of the bottle-type container B as shown in FIGS.

  Furthermore, in the conventional cup storage case 100, the neck of the inserted bottle-shaped container B hits the inner peripheral surface of the cup A during transportation or the like, and the cup A may be damaged. For this reason, a buffer member 150 is separately interposed between the neck of the container B and the inner peripheral surface of the cup A. As the buffer member 150, a member formed by folding cardboard so as to wrap the neck portion of the bottle-type container is used.

  However, since the cup storage case 100 and the buffer member 150 are separate bodies, when storing the cup A, they must be assembled together. Therefore, the cup storing operation becomes complicated. Moreover, since both are separate bodies, it is necessary to produce two different members, and the product cost increases accordingly.

  Further, in the conventional cup storage case 100, an insertion port 140 is formed in a flat holding piece 130. Therefore, the edge of the insertion port 140 is in contact with the neck portion of the bottle-type container B in the circumferential direction and horizontally. Thus, since the edge of the insertion port 140 is in horizontal contact with the circumferential direction of the neck portion of the container B, the cup storage case 100 easily swings with respect to the container B. Therefore, the cup storage case 100 may be shaken during transportation, and the attached cup storage case 100 may be distorted with respect to the container B.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a cup storage case that can prevent the stored cup from being damaged, can store the cup relatively easily, and is less likely to swing with respect to the article to be inserted. Let it be an issue.

The cup storage case of the present invention is formed by assembling sheet materials, and includes an upper surface opening type case main body capable of storing a cup, and a first holding surface portion continuously provided at one edge of the upper surface opening of the case main body. The first holding surface portion facing the opening end portion of the cup to be stored and the second holding portion connected to the other edge opposite to one edge of the upper surface opening portion of the case body by bending at the one edge. A second holding surface portion facing the opening end of the cup to be accommodated, and the first holding surface portion and the first holding surface portion in a state where the first holding surface portion and the second holding surface portion are bent. 2 a buffer piece portion continuously provided at opposite edges of the holding surface portion, the buffer piece portion bent into a mountain shape so as to protrude into the case body, and one end of the buffer piece portion The edge is on the edge of the first holding surface portion By inserting the insertion piece portion that is physically connected and extends from the buffer piece portion into the cut of the second holding surface portion, the other edge of the buffer piece portion is connected to the edge of the second holding surface portion. And at least a part of both side edges of the buffer piece portion is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cup to be stored, and an insertion port is formed in the surface of the buffer piece portion so that the neck of the container can be inserted and removed. It is characterized by being.

The cup storage case faces the opening end portion of the cup in which the first and second holding surface portions are stored by bending the first and second holding surface portions after putting the cup into the case main body. Accordingly, the cup is held by the first and second holding surface portions and stored without coming out of the case body.
Between the bent first and second holding surface portions, there is provided a buffer piece portion which is bent in a mountain shape so as to protrude into the case body and has an insertion port. By inserting the insertion opening of the buffer piece into the neck of the container (for example, the neck of a bottle-type container), the storage case that has been stored in the cup can be attached to the container .
Between the neck portion and the inner peripheral surface of the cup of the container, since the cushioning piece part at least a portion of the opposite side edges in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cup is interposed, the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the container and the cup securely Can be maintained. Therefore, the cup storage case can prevent the cup from being damaged because there is no possibility of the cup hitting the container during transportation or the like.
Moreover, since the insertion port is formed in the surface of the bent buffer piece portion, the edge of the insertion port of the buffer piece portion is in contact with the neck portion (insertion portion) of the container so as to draw an arc. The cup storage case is less likely to swing with respect to the container .
Since the cup storage case is formed by assembling sheet materials, it is not necessary to combine a separate buffer member as in the prior art, and the cup storage operation can be performed relatively easily.

The cup storage case is a neck portion of the neck portion is bottle-shaped container of the container, the edge of the insertion port of the buffer strip portions preferably are formed in contact with the neck of the bottle-shaped container.
Since the cup storage case is formed so that the edge of the insertion port is in contact with the neck of the bottle-type container, the insertion port of the buffer piece is in close contact with the neck of the container. For this reason, the cup storage case is preferable because it is more difficult to swing with respect to the container .

In a preferred cup storage case of the present invention, the case main body is provided with a pressing surface portion that is superimposed on the outer surface of the first holding surface portion and the outer surface of the second holding surface portion, and the neck portion of the container is placed in the surface of the pressing surface portion . insertion-possible and insertion holes in contact with the neck portion of the container is formed.
Since such a cup storage case is provided with a pressing surface portion, even if the first and second holding surface portions are pressed by the weight of the cup or the like, the first and second holding surface portions can be prevented from being lifted.
Further, since the holding surface portion is formed with an insertion hole in contact with the periphery of the neck portion of the container , the insertion hole of the pressing surface portion is in contact with the lower portion of the neck portion (insertion portion) of the container and the insertion opening of the buffer piece portion At the upper part of the neck of the container . For this reason, since the said cup storage case contacts in the position away from the upper and lower sides of the neck part of a container, it can prevent more reliably that a cup storage case rock | fluctuates.

In a preferred cup storage case of the present invention, an extended piece portion that is in contact with the bottom surface portion of the cup to be stored is connected to a part of the edge of the insertion opening of the buffer piece portion.
Such a cup storage case is preferable because it has an extended piece portion that is in contact with the bottom surface of the cup, and thus is less likely to swing with respect to the container .

Cup storage case according to the present invention, while preventing damage to the cup, can be attached to the container. In addition, the cup storage case of the present invention can perform cup storage work relatively easily, and the unit price of the product can be kept relatively low. Furthermore, the cup storage case of the present invention is less likely to swing with respect to the container to be inserted. Therefore, the cup storage case can be prevented from being distorted during transportation.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
However, in the present invention, “first”, “second” and the like are added as prefixes of terms, but this does not mean superiority or inferiority of members, etc., and is added for the purpose of distinguishing terms. is doing.

<First Embodiment>
1-4, 1 shows the cup storage case of one Embodiment of this invention. In each figure, the cup A is represented by a two-dot chain line. Moreover, in each figure, a dashed-dotted line represents a fold.
The cup storage case 1 is formed by assembling sheet materials, as will be described later.
The cup storage case 1 includes a case main body 2 having an upper surface that can store the cup A, and a pair of holding surface portions 31 that hold the cup A stored in the case main body 2 from the inside of the case main body 2 so as not to be removed. , 32 and a buffer piece 5 that partially contacts the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A and buffers between the article to be inserted and the cup A.

The case body 2 is formed in a hollow rectangular parallelepiped shape. Specifically, the case main body 2 includes a rectangular cylindrical body having opposed front and rear walls 21 and 22 and opposed side walls 23 and 24 provided between the front and rear walls 21 and 22, and the square. An upper surface opening type container having a bottom wall 25 that closes the lower surface opening of the cylindrical body.
The front rear walls 21 and 22 and the side wall walls 23 and 24 are connected to each other at a substantially right angle. Therefore, the opening edge of the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2 has two opposite edges 61 and 62 (one edge). 61 and the other edge 62) and two opposite side edges 63 and 64 (one side edge 63 and the other side edge 64) that are substantially orthogonal to the opposite two edges 61 and 62, respectively, and have a quadrangular shape (preferably a square shape). Is formed.

The pair of holding surface portions 31 and 32 are each formed in a substantially square shape, and are continuously provided from two opposing edges 61 and 62 of the upper surface opening of the case body 2. The holding surface portion 31 connected to one edge 61 of the upper surface opening 6 is referred to as a “first holding surface portion”, and the holding surface portion connected to the other edge 62 facing the one edge 61 of the upper surface opening 6 is referred to as a “first holding surface portion”. It is called “2 holding surface part”.
The first holding surface portion 31 is formed to have substantially the same width as the one edge 61 of the upper surface opening 6, and the end edge 31 a of the first holding surface portion 31 (the edge facing the one edge 61 of the upper surface opening 6) is thereby Is also formed with a slightly shorter width.
The 2nd holding surface part 32 is formed in the substantially same width as the other edge 62 of the upper surface opening part 6, and the edge 32a (edge facing the other edge 62 of the upper surface opening part 6) of the 2nd holding surface part 32 from this Is also formed with a slightly shorter width.

The first holding surface portion 31 and the second holding surface portion 32 are bent inward with respect to the front and rear walls 21 and 22 as hinge portions formed along the two edges 61 and 62 of the upper surface opening 6, respectively. Yes. The bent first holding surface portion 31 and second holding surface portion 32 face the opening end A1 of the cup A in which the inner surface is accommodated, and the cup A is connected to the bottom wall 25 of the case body 2 and the first holding surface portion. 31 and the second holding surface portion 32 so as to be stored and held.
The length of the first holding surface portion 31 (the length from one edge 61 of the upper surface opening 6 to the end edge 31a of the first holding surface portion 31) is as described above when the first holding surface portion 31 is bent. There is no particular limitation as long as it is formed so as to face the opening end A1 of the cup A. The same applies to the length of the second holding surface portion 32 (the length from the other edge 62 of the upper surface opening 6 to the end edge 32a of the second holding surface portion 32). Preferably, the lengths of the first holding surface portion 31 and the second holding surface portion 32 are formed to be about 1/5 to 1/3 times the length of the one side edge 63 of the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2. .

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32 are bent, the opposing edges 31a and 32a of the first holding surface portion 31 and the second holding surface portion 32 are formed. The buffer piece 5 is continuously provided.
Specifically, one end edge of the buffer piece portion 5 is connected to the end edge 31a of the first holding surface portion 31 and faces the other end edge of the buffer piece portion 5 (one end edge of the buffer piece portion 5). The end edge) is connected to the end edge 32 a of the second holding surface portion 32.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the buffer piece 5 and the first holding surface portion 31 are integrally connected to each other, and the buffer piece 5 has an edge 31 a of the first holding surface portion 31. The fold line formed along the line can be bent as a hinge part. On the other hand, the buffer piece portion 5 and the second holding surface portion 32 are separately independent before assembly, but the insertion piece portion 51 protruding from the buffer piece portion 5 is inserted into the cut 321 of the second holding surface portion 32. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, the buffer piece 5 and the end edge 32 a of the second holding surface portion 32 are connected. Reference numeral 322 denotes an extended piece extending from the second holding surface portion 32 in order to form the cut 321.
Here, the cut line 321 is a cut line penetrating the sheet material. The fold line is an easy-bending line for easily folding the sheet material. In the present invention, as the crease, for example, a half cut line (also referred to as a V notch) obtained by cutting the sheet material in the thickness direction, a perforation in which through holes are intermittently formed, or the like can be used. Preferably, the fold line is a half-cut line.

The buffer piece 5 is formed in a rectangular shape having substantially the same width as the end edges 31a, 32a of the first and second holding surface portions 31, 32, and preferably the width of the buffer piece 5 is accommodated. It is formed slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cup A (the diameter of the inner peripheral surface A2). This is because, when the buffer piece 5 having such a width is bent, both side edges 5a and 5a of the buffer piece 5 are in contact with the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A.
On the other hand, the length of the buffer piece 5 is formed sufficiently longer than the gap length between the opposed edges 31a, 32a of the bent first and second holding surface portions 31, 32. This is because the buffer piece 5 that is bent inwardly is formed between the opposing edges 31a and 32a of the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32.

The buffer piece 5 is bent in a mountain shape so as to protrude toward the inside of the case body 2. In the present embodiment, the buffer piece 5 is formed with a fold line 52 extending in the width direction in the middle of the length direction (direction perpendicular to the direction in which the end edge 31a of the first holding surface portion 31 extends). The folds 52 are bent. Therefore, the bent top 53 of the buffer piece 5 is square (preferably acute).
But the buffer piece part 5 is not restricted to what the bending top part 53 becomes square shape in this way, For example, the bending top part 53 of the buffer piece part 5 may be formed in the arc shape. If the fold 52 is not formed in the buffer piece 5, the folding top 53 of the buffer piece 5 can be formed in an arc shape. In addition, a plurality of (for example, two) folds extending in the width direction may be formed in the buffer piece portion 5, and the buffer piece portion 5 may be bent at a plurality of locations via the plurality of fold lines. For example, the buffer piece 5 formed with two folds extending in the width direction extends obliquely downward from the first holding surface portion 31 and the second holding surface portion 32 and is bent by two folds. It can be formed in a mountain shape (a reverse trapezoidal shape in a side view) having a flat surface between the folds.

  After the cup A is stored in the case body 2, the buffer piece 5 enters the recess of the cup A by bending the buffer piece 5 inward. The buffer piece 5 has at least a part of both side edges 5a and 5a (for example, side edges 5a 'and 5a' on both sides of the bent top 53 of the buffer piece 5). Contact A2.

Further, an insertion port 7 that can be inserted into and removed from a part of a predetermined article (for example, a neck portion of a bottle-type container) is formed in the surface of the buffer piece 5. The insertion port 7 is formed such that its center is located on the ridge line of the bending top portion 53 of the buffer piece 5.
The edge of the insertion port 7 is formed so as to be in line contact with a part of the article (insertion portion). Specifically, when a part of the article is the neck of a bottle-type container, the cross-sectional shape of the neck is usually a circle. When the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5 is inserted into the neck of the container, the insertion port 7 that can come into line contact with the periphery of the neck is formed in a circular shape when viewed from above.
As described above, since the buffer piece 5 is bent into a mountain shape, an elliptical opening extending in the length direction of the buffer piece 5 (this opening is the buffer piece). What is necessary is just to form the insertion port 7 when the part 5 is bent. When the buffer piece 5 having such an elliptical opening is bent as described above, the opening is contracted in the length direction when viewed from the upper surface side, and as a result, the insertion opening having a circular shape when viewed from above. 7 can be formed.

Further, a pressing surface portion 8 is connected to one side edge 63 of the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2.
The pressing surface portion 8 is formed to be approximately the same size as the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2, and a locking flap piece 81 is connected to the end edge 8 a of the pressing surface portion 8. The pressing surface portion 8 can be bent with a fold formed along one side edge 63 of the case body 2 as a hinge portion.
In addition, an insertion port 82 that can be inserted into and removed from a part of a predetermined article (for example, the neck of the container) is formed in the surface of the pressing surface portion 8. Hereinafter, the insertion port 82 of the pressing surface 8 is referred to as an “insertion hole” in order to distinguish it from the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5.
The insertion hole 82 of the pressing surface portion 8 is formed in a substantially circular shape. The insertion hole 82 is formed so that the center of the insertion hole 82 is substantially positioned on a vertical line passing through the center of the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5 in a state where the pressing surface portion 8 is bent.
The pressing surface portion 8 is folded inward and overlapped so as to cover the outer surfaces of the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32.

Further, a locking surface portion 9 is connected to the other side edge 64 of the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2.
The locking surface portion 9 is formed to be approximately the same size as the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2, but the end edge 9 a of the locking surface portion 9 is formed in an arc shape. The locking surface portion 9 can be bent with a fold formed along the other side edge 64 of the case body 2 as a hinge portion.
Further, an insertion port 92 into which a part of a predetermined article (for example, the neck portion of the container) can be inserted and removed is formed in the surface of the locking surface portion 9. Hereinafter, the insertion port 92 of the locking surface portion 9 is referred to as a “locking hole” in order to distinguish it from the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece portion 5.
The locking hole 92 of the locking surface portion 9 is formed in a substantially cross shape having four protrusions 91 that are displaced by 90 ° in the circumferential direction. The locking hole 92 is formed so that the center of the locking hole 92 is substantially positioned on a vertical line passing through the center of the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5 in a state where the locking surface portion 9 is bent. Yes.
The locking surface portion 9 is folded inward and overlapped so as to cover the outer surface of the pressing surface portion 8.

The cup A stored in the cup storage case 1 of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a bottomed cylindrical shape having a drinking mouth. The shape of the cup A is, for example, a concave shape in the longitudinal section, and typically, a bottomed cylindrical shape as illustrated is exemplified, but a bottomed square cylindrical shape, a bottomed elliptical cylindrical shape, a bottomed hexagonal shape is exemplified. Other shapes such as a cylindrical shape may be used. Further, the cup A may have a handle formed on the outer peripheral surface within a range that can be accommodated in the case body 2.
Also, the material of the cup A is not particularly limited, and may be a known material such as ceramic, glass, synthetic resin, metal, or wood. However, since the cup storage case 1 of the present invention is excellent in shock-absorbing properties, it has a particularly remarkable effect when a ceramic or glass cup A is stored.
In addition, cup A means the equipment which can be used for drinking of a liquid, and is a meaning including what is generally called a glass, a hot water drink, a cup, etc.

The cup storage case 1 is formed by assembling a flexible sheet material.
As the sheet material, it is possible to use various types of sheets such as polyolefins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, various synthetic resin sheets such as polystyrene and polyamide, paper, and synthetic paper. The sheet material may be the same type or different type of laminated sheet. Especially, since the accommodated cup etc. can be visually recognized from the outside, it is preferable to use a transparent (colorless transparent or colored transparent) sheet material.
The thickness of the sheet material is not particularly limited. For example, in the case of a synthetic resin sheet, the thickness is about 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm.
Especially, since it has moderate rigidity and a softness | flexibility, it is preferable to use the sheet | seat of the transparent polypropylene about 0.2 mm-0.6 mm in thickness.

  Next, FIG. 5 shows the unfolding sheet 10 constituting the cup storage case 1. Among the reference numerals attached to FIG. 5, portions corresponding to the respective components of the cup storage case 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the cup storage case 1.

The spread sheet 10 is formed by punching one sheet material.
The spread sheet 10 is formed by connecting surface portions corresponding to the front wall 21, the back wall 22, and the side wall surfaces 23 and 24 of the case body 2. On one side of one side wall 24, an adhesive margin piece 241 is continuously provided. A bottom surface forming piece 251 that forms the bottom wall 25 of the case body 2 is connected to the lower edge of each wall surface.
The unfolded sheet 10 is formed with creases at the portions to be folded when the cup storage case 1 is assembled. In FIG. 5, all the folds are represented by alternate long and short dash lines.
Since the structure of each part of the said expansion | deployment sheet | seat 10 respond | corresponds to each part of the said cup storage case 1, the specific description is abbreviate | omitted.

Next, the cup storage case 1 of the present invention will be described in further detail by explaining the procedure for storing the cup inside the cup storage case 1 while assembling the cup storage case 1 from the spread sheet 10.
The spread sheet 10 is used to bond the adhesive margin piece 241 to the inner surface of one side of the back wall 22 while being folded at each fold, and the bottom wall 25 is formed by combining the bottom surface forming pieces 251. As a result, a case body 2 having a top opening type as shown in FIG. 1 is formed.

When the unfolded sheet 10 is used, the case body 2 is formed into a bottomed square cylinder with an open top surface having front and rear walls 21 and 22, side walls 23 and 24, and a bottom wall 25. However, the case body 2 is not limited to a rectangular tube shape, and can be changed to other shapes such as a cylindrical shape and a hexagonal tube shape.
The size of the case body 2 is formed in accordance with the size and shape of the cup A to be stored. For example, the case body 2 is preferably formed in such a size that a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cup A accommodated on the inner surfaces of the front and rear walls 21 and 22 and the side walls 23 and 24. This is to prevent the lateral displacement of the stored cup A.
The upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2 is an opening for taking in and out the cup A.

Next, the cup A is inserted from the upper surface opening 6 of the case body 2. The cup A is inserted with the opening facing the upper surface opening 6 side of the case body 2. That is, the cup A is put in contact with the bottom wall 25 of the case body 2.
After inserting the cup A, the first holding surface portion 31 and the second holding surface portion 32 are bent inward as shown in FIG. The bent first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32 face the opening end A1 of the cup A.
When the height of the case body 2 (corresponding to the vertical length of the front wall 21) is formed substantially the same as the height of the cup A, the inner surfaces of the first and second holding surface portions 31, 32 are Surface contact can be made with the open end A1 of the cup A. Thus, when the case main body 2 is formed at the same height as the cup A, the cup A can be clamped by the case main body 2 and the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32, and the cup A is held by the case main body 2. Can be effectively prevented from being displaced in the vertical direction.

Next, the buffer piece 5, which is integrally connected to the edge 31 a of the first holding surface portion 31, is bent into a mountain shape at the central portion thereof, and the buffer piece 5 is connected to the end of the first holding surface portion 31. From the gap between the edge 31 a and the end edge 32 a of the second holding surface portion 32, the cup A is inserted into the recess. Then, the insertion piece 51 of the buffer piece 5 is inserted into the cut 321, and the buffer piece 5 is connected to the edge 32 a of the second holding surface portion 32.
The buffer piece portion 5 bent in such a mountain shape has the insertion opening 7 having a circular shape when viewed from above in the plane thereof, and the side edge 5a of the buffer piece portion 5 is partially formed on the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A. Can touch.

Next, the pressing surface portion 8 is bent inward, and the flap pieces 81 of the pressing surface portion 8 are inserted into the gaps between the side edges of the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32 and the side wall 24 of the case body 2. As shown in FIG. 7, the folded holding surface portion 8 overlaps to hold the outer surfaces of the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32. The buffer piece 5 is connected between the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32, and the first and second holding surface portions 31 are caused by the restoring force of the bent buffer piece 5 and the weight of the cup A. , 32 can be lifted easily, but can be effectively prevented by the pressing surface portion 8.
And the insertion hole 82 of the holding | suppressing surface part 8 and the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece part 5 will align in the substantially the same position in an up-down direction.

  Finally, by bending the locking surface portion 9 shown in FIG. 7 inward, a cup storage case 1 in which the cup A is stored and held as shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained. As will be described later, the cup storage case 1 can be used without folding the locking surface portion 9 inward (on the outer surface of the pressing surface portion 8).

The cup storage case 1 in which the cup A is stored is used, for example, by inserting an insertion slot into a part of a predetermined article.
Although articles | goods are not specifically limited, Since the case 1 of this invention accommodates a cup, a drink container is preferable. Examples of the beverage include alcohols and soft drinks. The shape of the article is not particularly limited as long as it has a portion that can be inserted into the insertion port of the cup storage case 1, but a container having a neck (bottle-type container) is preferable.

FIG. 8 shows a configuration example in which the cup storage case 1 of the present invention is attached to the bottle-type container B having the neck portion B1.
The bottle-type container B is placed on the placement surface with the neck B1 facing upward. The cup storage case 1 can be attached to the bottle-type container B by inserting the insertion opening of the cup storage case 1 into the neck B1 of the bottle-type container B.
Specifically, by inserting the locking hole 92 of the locking surface portion 9 of the cup storage case 1 into the neck B1 of the container B, as shown in FIG. It fits in the insertion hole 82 of the pressing surface 8 and the insertion opening 7 of the buffer piece 5.

A buffer piece 5 is interposed between the neck B1 of the inserted container B and the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A, as shown in FIG. Since this buffer piece part 5 is comprised so that the side edge 5a may contact | connect the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A, the clearance gap between the neck B1 of the container B and the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A is maintained reliably. be able to.
Therefore, there is no possibility that the neck B1 of the container B and the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A come into contact with each other during transportation, and the cup A can be prevented from being damaged.

The buffer piece 5 is bent inward, and an insertion port 7 is formed including the bent portion. Therefore, since the edge of the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5 contacts the neck B1 of the container B so as to form an arc in the vertical direction, it is inserted into the neck B1 of the container B via the buffer piece 5. The cup storage case 1 is difficult to swing with respect to the neck B1.
In particular, the cup storage case 1 is provided with a pressing surface 8 at a position away from the buffer piece 5 in the vertical direction. The insertion hole 82 of the pressing surface portion 8 is in contact with the lower portion of the neck portion B1 of the container B (the boundary portion between the neck portion and the shoulder portion of the container B). Therefore, in the cup storage case 1, the insertion hole 82 of the pressing surface portion 8 is in contact with the lower portion of the neck portion B1 of the container B, and the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece portion 5 is in contact with the middle portion of the neck portion B1 of the container B. For this reason, since the cup storage case 1 is held by the neck B1 at a position (a lower part and a middle part above the lower part) separated from the top and bottom of the neck B1 of the container B, the cup storage case 1 swings. This can be prevented more reliably.

  Further, the cup storage case 1 is provided with a locking surface portion 9 on the outer surface of the pressing surface portion 8. The edge of the locking hole 92 of the locking surface 9 is not formed in an arc shape, but has a plurality of protruding portions 91 that partially protrude. For this reason, in the locking hole 92 of the locking surface part 9, as shown in FIG. 8, the protrusion 91 in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the neck B1 of the container B is appropriately elastically deformed, and is in close contact with the neck B1. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the cup storage case 1 to inadvertently come off from the neck B1 of the container B during transportation.

  In addition, the cup storage case 1 of the present invention folds the locking surface portion 9 inward as described above, and from the locking hole 92 of the locking surface portion 9 to the insertion hole 82 of the pressing surface portion 8 and the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5. In addition to the usage example in which the neck B1 of the container B is fitted and attached, the cup storage case 1 can be suspended from the container B as shown in FIG. That is, the cup storage case 1 in which the cup A is stored is not bent to the holding surface portion 8 side, and only the locking hole 92 of the lock surface portion 9 is inserted into the neck B1 of the container B to store the cup. The case 1 can also be attached to the container B.

Second Embodiment
In the cup storage case according to the second embodiment, an extended piece portion that is in contact with the bottom surface portion of the cup to be stored is connected to a part of the edge of the insertion opening of the buffer piece portion.
Hereinafter, although 2nd Embodiment is described, about the structure and effect similar to the said 1st Embodiment, the description is abbreviate | omitted and a term and a code | symbol may be used.

11 to 13, the cup storage case 1 of the present embodiment is similar to the cup storage case 1 of the first embodiment, in that the case body 2, the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32, and the pressing surface portion. 8 and a locking surface portion 9. Furthermore, although the cup storage case 1 of this embodiment has the buffer piece part 5, this buffer piece part 5 differs from the said 1st Embodiment by the following points.
In addition, in FIG. 14, the expansion | deployment sheet | seat 10 which comprises the cup storage case 1 of this embodiment is shown. In each drawing, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those in the first embodiment.

The buffer piece 5 of the present embodiment is formed longer than the buffer piece 5 of the first embodiment. Within the surface of the buffer piece 5, except for a part, a cut end 54 having a substantially oval shape in plan view is formed, and the range surrounded by the cut 54 is the both ends of the cut 54. Between the portions 54a and 54a, the buffer piece portion 5 is connected. The extending piece 55 is extended from the buffer piece 5 by pushing out the range surrounded by the cut 54. In addition, the insertion port 7 is formed by extruding the range surrounded by the cut 54. Therefore, the extension piece 55 is connected to a part of the edge of the insertion port 7. In addition, the insertion port 7 of this embodiment is also circular when viewed from above with the buffer piece 5 folded.
A semicircular arc-shaped cut 56 is formed on the end side of the extended piece 55, and a fold 57 is formed from both ends of the cut 56 to the side edge of the extended piece 55. .

In the cup storage case 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, after the cup A is stored, the first and second holding surface portions 31 and 32 are bent, and then the extended piece portion 55 along the cut 54. The buffer piece 5 is bent inward while extruding, so that they enter the recess of the cup A. Then, at least a part of both side edges 5a, 5a of the buffer piece 5 (for example, side edges 5a ′, 5a ′ on both sides of the bent top 53 of the buffer piece 5) are in contact with the inner peripheral surface A2 of the cup A. At the same time, the end of the extended piece 55 is bent at the fold 57, and the end of the extended piece 55 is in contact with the bottom surface A3 of the cup A.
After the fact, as in the first embodiment, the cup storage case 1 as shown in FIG. 12 is obtained by sequentially bending the pressing surface portion 8 and the like.

By inserting the insertion port of the cup storage case 1 into the neck B1 of the container B, the cup storage case 1 can be attached to the neck B1 of the container B as shown in FIG.
In the cup storage case 1 of the present embodiment, since the extended piece 55 is in contact with the bottom surface portion A3 of the cup A, it is more difficult to swing with respect to the container B.
Therefore, even if the container B to which the cup storage case 1 is attached is transported, the cup storage case 1 can be more reliably prevented from being distorted.

<Other embodiments>
In the said 1st and 2nd embodiment, although the whole edge of the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece part 5 is formed so that the neck part B1 of the container B may be contacted, for example, the locking hole 92 of the said locking surface part 9 and Similarly, a plurality of protrusions protruding from the edge of the insertion port 7 of the buffer piece 5 may be formed. In this case, since the protrusion projecting from the edge of the insertion port 7 is elastically deformed as appropriate and is in close contact with the neck B1 of the container B, the cup is similar to the insertion port 7 in contact with the neck B1 of the container B. The storage case 1 is less likely to swing with respect to the neck B1.

  Similarly, the insertion hole 82 of the pressing surface portion 8 may have a plurality of protrusions protruding from the edge of the insertion hole 82.
