Description

  The present invention relates to a transport container made of a synthetic resin suitable for storing and transporting a paper pack filled with milk, milk drink, juice, soft drink, etc., in particular, a regular type paper pack having a bottom surface of about 70 mm square. .

  Paper packs are cheaper to manufacture than containers such as glass bottles and cans, are light and convenient to transport, and are easy to recycle and environmentally friendly, so various beverages and seasonings are available. Used as a packaging container. Among these, regular type paper packs having a bottom surface of about 70 mm square and corresponding to sizes of capacities from 500 ml to 1000 ml are most frequently used for milk packs.

  For transporting such a paper pack, as shown in FIG. 6, a box-shaped container 100 dedicated to a paper pack having an upper surface opened in a rectangular shape is used. A total of twelve paper packs P are stored side by side without any gaps between the rows, and are used for transportation (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-86942

  As mentioned above, paper packs have the advantage of being lightweight and easy to recycle, but they are less resistant to internal and external pressures compared to containers made of cans or plastics. For example, paper packs are loaded on the loading racks of transport vehicles. When the vehicle is shaken when transported and the paper packs fall down or collide with each other, the internal pressure in the lateral direction on the side of the paper pack creates a gap in the overlapping seal part at the bottom of the pack, and the liquid content leaks out. There was a case.

Since the paper pack P is stored in the inside of the container 100 dedicated to the paper pack shown in the figure, the paper pack P does not fall down during transportation and the bottom of the pack is not damaged. It can be transported safely in bulk.
However, in this container 100, although it is convenient to carry twelve paper packs P together, if there are less than twelve paper packs P, if they are stored in the container 100, a gap corresponding to the shortage It was not possible to prevent the paper pack P from collapsing and colliding with the inner surface of the container due to shaking during conveyance, or the paper packs P colliding with each other.
Therefore, when transporting the paper pack P, the 12 paper packs P are stored in the container 100 as a unit, and the fractional paper pack P is stored in a separate container containing a cushioning material. Thus, it was necessary to take steps to safely transport the fractional paper pack P. If a partition piece for partitioning 12 paper packs P is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the container 100, the paper pack P can be transported without falling down even if it is a fraction, but 12 partition pieces are provided. As a result, the size of the container 100 increases, and the number of loads on the transport vehicle decreases.

  In view of such problems of the prior art, the present invention can accommodate twelve paper packs as a unit, or even a fractional paper pack, stored in a single transport container and subjected to impact during transportation. It is an object of the present invention to be able to transport safely and effortlessly without adding.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the transport container of the present invention is a regular type in which the vertical dimension [A] and the horizontal dimension [A] on the bottom surface are the same on the top surface of the bottom plate protruding with the partition pieces intersecting vertically and horizontally. A container for storing and transporting paper packs arranged vertically in 3 rows and 4 rows, the upper surface of the bottom plate having a vertical dimension of approximately [3 × A] and a horizontal dimension of approximately [4 × A]. Of the partition pieces that are provided in a size and project so as to intersect in the vertical and horizontal directions, the vertical partition pieces follow the adjacent gaps of the paper packs stored in the third and fourth rows on the top surface of the bottom plate. The horizontal partition piece is provided only at a position along the adjacent gap of the paper packs stored in the first and second rows on the upper surface of the bottom plate. is there.

  The transport container of the present invention is configured as a dedicated container for transporting regular type paper packs having the same dimensions [A] on the bottom surface, and the top surface of the bottom plate on which the paper pack is placed has a vertical dimension of approximately [3 × A]. ], The lateral dimension is set to a size of approximately [4 × A]. The regular type paper pack is a square with a cross section of about 70 mm square. Corresponding to this, the top surface of the bottom plate is about 210 mm long and about 280 mm wide, and three rows of paper packs are placed inside the container. , And can be stored side by side in four horizontal rows.

  On the upper surface of the bottom plate of the size, there are almost no gaps between adjacent paper packs when twelve paper packs are arranged side by side, and a partition for 12 pieces cannot be provided. Therefore, in the transport container of the present invention, the positions along the adjacent gaps of the paper packs stored in the third and fourth rows on the upper surface of the bottom plate, and the paper packs stored in the first and second rows. A partition piece is provided only at a position along the adjacent gap, that is, only one partition is provided on the top surface of the bottom plate vertically and horizontally, and the fractional paper pack is maintained in an upright state without increasing the size of the container. It can be stored and transported.

  In the above configuration, the vertical partitioning piece is a partition projecting at a position along the adjacent gap of the paper packs stored in the third and fourth rows on the top surface of the bottom plate, and the short side on one side of the bottom plate And spaced apart from the short side by a distance [A]. Further, the horizontal partitioning piece is a partition projecting at a position along the adjacent gap of the paper packs stored in the first and second rows on the upper surface of the bottom plate, and is spaced from the longitudinal side on one side of the bottom plate [ A] is opened and installed parallel to the long side. Both partition pieces are provided with a thickness of about 2 mm and are formed so as to protrude to a height sufficient to prevent the paper pack from falling down, for example, about 40 to 50 mm from the upper surface of the bottom plate. Can do. If both partition pieces are provided along the positions spaced apart from each of the long and short sides of the bottom plate by a distance [A], an appropriate gap may be provided even if they are continuously provided in a strip shape between the opposite sides of the bottom plate. Any of them may be provided intermittently, and they can be formed in an appropriate outer shape. In short, it is only necessary that the paper pack is stored between the partition pieces and the side plates connected to both the long and short sides and can be held in the standing state.

  According to the transport container of the present invention, vertical and horizontal partition pieces provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate divide the upper surface of the bottom plate into four regions, each having one, two, three, and six paper packs. It can be stored. Therefore, when the paper packs to be transported are fractional, if the paper packs are inserted in each area according to the number, the paper packs are lined up in each area without any gaps, and the paper packs may fall during transportation or collide with each other. There is no impact on the paper pack, and the paper pack can be transported while being held upright. When carrying 12 paper packs, the paper packs may be stored in all areas. It is not necessary to prepare a separate container or cushioning material for transporting the fractional paper pack, and the paper pack can be efficiently transported without labor.

  The transport container of the present invention can be molded by an injection molding method using a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene or polyethylene, and has a square cross section in addition to the 70 mm square regular type paper pack. The present invention can also be applied to other paper packs having different sizes and containers for storing and transporting bottle containers having a circular cross section.
