Description

  The present invention relates to a package used to display and sell an article with good appearance.

  Conventionally, as a package to display products such as cosmetics and toys in a form that is easy for customers to pick up, form a concave and convex shape on a transparent plastic sheet to form a product container, and attach a mount to it A so-called blister pack package has been widely used (see Patent Document 1, etc.). Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), a transparent plastic sheet 1 formed with a concavo-convex shape is closed like a shell, and products (8 in this example) are placed in the closed gap. A clamshell type blister pack is also often used (see Patent Document 2).

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the clamshell type blister pack has a recess 3 for accommodating the lower part of the product in one transparent plastic sheet 1a by vacuum forming or pressure forming. The other 1b is formed with a recess 4 for accommodating the upper part of the product, and the peripheral edges of both are detachably engaged and closed.

  On the other hand, although it is not based on a blister pack, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, a product is accommodated in a small cylindrical inner box 6 [see FIG. There has also been proposed a packaging container that can be stored and displayed in a cylindrical transparent outer case 7 in a state of being parallel to each other (see, for example, Patent Document 3). As shown in FIG. 8 (c), the inner box 6 used for this packaging container has a plastic sheet 7 with parts 8 and 9 serving as left and right side parts, and parts 10 and 11 serving as top and bottom surfaces. And an overlapping portion 12, and an opening 13 and two folded pieces 14 and 15 are formed in the top surface 10.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  FIG. 1: has shown the perspective view which shows one Embodiment of the package body of this invention. This package is for storing and selling a large number of individual packages 20 in which a powder bath agent is individually packaged for each use in an elongated sachet, placed in a bag 21 made of transparent plastic, A hollow substantially columnar inner case 30 having an internal space for accommodating the powder bathing agent, and a substantially cylindrical outer case 31 in which the inner case 30 is detachably fitted and held are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the outer case 31 is formed by attaching two folds 32 and 33 to one sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) having a thickness of 0.3 mm and overlapping the front part 34 and the rear part 35. It is divided into a marginal portion 36, and this overlap marginal portion 36 is overlapped and joined to the edge portion of the back surface portion 35 on the opposite side and rounded into a cylindrical shape. A substantially rectangular flap 37 extends from the center of the outer case 31 to the back surface 35 side of the upper opening edge of the outer case 31, and a hanging hole 38 is provided in the flap 37. Is provided. Therefore, the hole 38 can be used to display the entire container suspended from above.

  Since the outer case 31 has creases 32 and 33 on the left and right sides, the outer case 31 is not a perfect circular cylinder in a plan view but is crushed forward and backward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, a hollow substantially columnar inner case 30 is inserted into the outer case 31 from above while the front part 34 and the rear part 35 are inflated back and forth by placing hands on the left and right folds 32 and 33. Then, the inner case 30 is sandwiched between the front part 34 and the rear view 35 that are to be crushed forward and backward, and is firmly held without falling down.

  Next, the inner case 30 fitted and held in the outer case 31 will be described. Similarly to the outer case 31, the inner case 30 is also made of a PET sheet having a thickness of 0.3 mm, and is given a three-dimensional shape that finally becomes a hollow substantially columnar shape by vacuum forming. That is, as shown in FIG. 4A which is a plan view of the inner case 30 and FIG. 4B which is a front view of the inner case 30, the openings of each other are brought into contact with one PET sheet. The two substantially semi-cylindrical recesses 50 and 51 that become hollow substantially columnar bodies are formed in a state in which the flange portions 50a and 51a serving as opening edges are left around the respective periphery, and the shafts of the flange portions 50a and 51a of each other are formed. It has a shape that is connected to the left and right at one edge extending in the direction.

  The substantially semi-cylindrical recess 50 on the left side of FIG. 4 (a) has a flat bottom 52 (the top of the protruding portion when viewed from the outside, the portion indicated by the fine oblique lines in the figure) 52. It is a surface. Further, a notch 53 for abutting and engaging the substantially semi-cylindrical recess 50 with the substantially semi-cylindrical recess 51 on the right side is provided at the left edge of the flange 50a along the axial direction. , Provided in two places at the top and bottom. Further, a knob 54 protruding upward from the center is formed at the upper end edge of the flange portion 50a. This knob 54 is provided with two upper and lower ridges 54a extending left and right. When this part is overlapped with an opposite knob 58 which will be described later and the inner case 30 is lifted, the finger slips. Considered to be difficult.

  On the other hand, the substantially semi-cylindrical concave portion 51 on the right side in FIG. 4A is a right side view of FIG. 4A, and FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C, which is a sectional view taken along the line BB ′ of FIG. 4A, the concave portion (the portion protruding from the outside) is greatly increased. A notch window portion 55 is formed. And the peripheral part of this notch window part 55 is return | folded perpendicularly, and becomes the frame-shaped surrounding wall 56. As shown in FIG.

  Further, of the flange portion 51 a of the substantially semi-cylindrical recess 51, the substantially semi-cylindrical recess 51 is brought into contact with and engaged with the left substantially semi-cylindrical recess 50 at the right edge along the axial direction. Engagement pieces 57 are formed at two upper and lower portions by cutting out the edge portions on both sides thereof. Note that the width of the front end of the engaging portion 57 is slightly larger than the notch width of the notch portion 53 to be engaged, and the edges of both the portions 53 and 57 are bent to be detachable. It comes to match. Further, the upper edge of the flange portion 51a is formed with a knob 58 that protrudes upward from the center thereof, like the left flange 50a. Like the left knob 54, a convex for preventing slippage is formed. Two strips 58a are provided at the top and bottom.

  Then, the openings of the two left and right substantially semi-cylindrical recesses 50 and 51 are brought into contact with each other as shown by arrows in FIG. 4B, and the notch 53 of the flange 50a and the flange 51a By engaging with the engagement piece 57, it is assembled into a hollow substantially columnar shape.

  Inside the hollow substantially columnar inner case 30, the individual bath 20 of the powder bath containing the bag 21 shown in FIG. 1 is accommodated, and the knobs 54 and 58 protruding from the upper surface of the inner case 30 are picked and lifted. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the target package can be obtained by fitting from the upper end opening of the outer case 31.

  When the bag 21 containing the individual package 20 is accommodated in the inner case 30, the upper and lower portions of the bag 21 are arranged at the inner peripheral edge 60 of the peripheral wall 56 provided in the substantially semi-cylindrical recess 51 (see FIG. 2). Since the bag 21 does not rattle in the inner case 30 and does not fall off from the cutout window 55 even if the inner case 30 is slightly tilted, the inner case 30 is inclined. It can be inserted into the outer case 31 and the workability is good.

  According to this packaging body, since the powder bath agent individual package 20 accommodated in the inner case 30 looks clear through the transparent outer case 31 from the cutout window portion 55 of the inner case 30, When displaying at stores, the contents are easy to understand and the eye-catching effect is high. And this packaging body may be arranged and displayed in the attitude | position standing perpendicularly | vertically to the horizontal surface as it is, and you may display it in the attitude | position tilted so that the notch window part 55 of the inner case 30 may face upwards. Alternatively, the holes 37 of the flap 37 may be used to hang on a hook or the like for display.

  The customer who purchased the package body picks the tabs 54 and 58 of the inner case 30 and pulls out the inner case 30 from the outer case 31 and takes out the bag 21 from the notch window portion 55 to provide an individual powder bath agent. The body 20 can be taken out. Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, the emptied inner case 30 is placed with its flat surface 52 (see FIG. 2) down, and the individual case is placed in the inner case 30. 20 are accommodated in a disjointed state. If this inner case 30 is placed in a dressing room, a bathroom, etc., the individual package 20 of the powder bathing agent can be taken out from the inner case 30 and used each time a bath is taken. When all the individual packages 20 have been used, the inner case 30 can be reused as a tray or the like for storing soap. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a dedicated container or the like for storing the powder bath agent individual package 20, which is easy to use. Moreover, of the package, only the outer case 31 is discarded, and the inner case 30 is used as a case for storing the contents (in this example, the individual package 20) accommodated by the package and other items. This makes it possible to effectively use resources and is favorable for environmental conservation.

  In the above example, the materials and thicknesses of the sheets that are the materials of the inner case 30 and the outer case 31 are not necessarily the same, but if the two sheets of the same material and the same thickness are used. A single sheet material can be shared, and work efficiency and production efficiency are good. And although the thickness of the sheet | seat to be used is based on the magnitude | size of a package, and the kind and weight of the articles | goods accommodated in it, setting to thickness 0.1-1.0mm normally is shape-retaining property and moldability. This is preferable. In particular, a material having a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 mm is more preferable because it is particularly lightweight and has excellent shape retention.

  In the above example, a transparent PET sheet is used for both the inner case 30 and the outer case 31, but the sheet is not necessarily transparent, and only the outer case 31 is made transparent and accommodated in the inner case 30. Only the articles that have been removed may be viewed through the notch window portion 55 of the inner case 30. Of course, both the inner case 30 and the outer case 31 may be made opaque, and the surface may be designed according to the article inside.

  Furthermore, in the above example, the method for forming the inner case 30 is not limited to vacuum forming, and pressure forming or other forming methods may be selected. However, when the sheet material is shaped from the up and down direction into a concavo-convex shape by vacuum forming or the like, the substantially semi-cylindrical recesses are lined up on the left and right before the inner case 30 is closed into a hollow substantially columnar shape. The shape (refer to FIG. 4) can be stacked in multiple stages with the top and bottom aligned, and can be handled with a small volume together with the flatly crushed outer case 31, which is preferable. Also, vacuum molding and pressure molding are preferred in that a molded product that is lightweight and has sufficient shape retention strength can be obtained.

  In the present invention, the outer case 31 may have any configuration as long as the outer case 31 has a substantially cylindrical shape capable of detachably holding the hollow substantially columnar inner case 30 therein. For example, the outer case 31 does not need to have a height (see FIG. 1) that completely covers the inner case 30 as in the above example. The upper part or the lower part of the case 30 may be exposed. However, in that case, it is necessary to consider the positional relationship with the notch window portion 55 of the inner case 30 so that the article to be stored is not exposed from the exposed portion.

  In the present invention, the shape of the inner case 30 is a hollow substantially columnar shape that can be fitted into the substantially cylindrical outer case 31, and the hollow substantially columnar shape has two substantially semi-cylindrical recesses 50 and 51. It is formed by butting and detachably engaging, and if the bottom of the substantially semi-cylindrical recess 50 on one side is a flat surface 52 for horizontal placement, It does not matter if it is configured. For example, it is not necessary to provide two upper and lower engaging portions in the height direction of the inner case 30 as in the above example, as the two substantially semi-cylindrical concave portions 50 and 51 are brought into contact with each other so as to be detachable. It is possible to provide only one at the position. Further, the structure of the engaging portion is not limited to the engagement of the notch 53 and the engaging piece 57 as in the above example, and the flanges 50a and 51a are provided with concave portions and convex portions that engage with each other. You may make it engage.

  And in said example, the notch window part 55 was provided in the inner case 30, and the multiple individual package 20 was accommodated in the bag 21 in the state gathered in the bag 21 (refer FIG. 1). However, the individual packaging 20 may be directly accommodated in the inner case 30 without using the bag 21. In that case, it is preferable that the inner case 30 is inserted into and removed from the outer case 31 so that the cutout window 55 of the inner case 30 faces upward. Of course, if the article is not the individual package 20 and is not exposed and does not cause a change such as deterioration, the article may be accommodated in the inner case 30 without being wrapped.

  As described above, the type of the article may be anything as long as it can be accommodated in the inner space of the inner case 30, and may be a general product to be sold, a prize, a sample, or the like. Also good. Depending on the shape and size of the inner case 30, as shown in FIG. 6A, the inner case 30 is sequentially positioned at a predetermined position of the article filling device in a posture in which the flat surface 52 is turned down. After the articles are automatically and continuously filled into the cutout window portion 55, the inner case 30 filled with the articles is fitted into the outer case 31, whereby the intended package can be obtained. According to this method, it is possible to efficiently manufacture a package that contains articles, which is preferable. Of course, the article may be stored in the inner case 30 manually, or in some cases, after the article is accommodated with the substantially semi-cylindrical recesses 50 and 51 of the inner case 30 opened to the left and right. These may be closed to form a substantially columnar shape.

  In addition, when the article is used for a long time with the flat surface 52 facing down rather than being frequently taken in and out of the inner case 30 at the time of use, approximately half of one of the inner case 30 is used. It is not always necessary to provide the notch window 55 in the cylindrical recess 51. For example, when the article is a fragrance or herb that gradually releases medicinal ingredients such as fragrance, deodorant and insect repellent, or a deodorant or insect repellent, the inner case 30 is It is sufficient that the fragrance and the medicinal component are gradually released. An example is shown in FIG.

  In the inner case 30, the notched window portion 55 as in the above example is not formed in the substantially semi-cylindrical concave portion 51 on which the flat surface 52 is not formed, and instead, the axial direction (see FIG. Are provided with three parallel slits 70 extending in the left-right direction). Other configurations are the same as those in the above example, and the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. The configuration of the outer case 31 is also the same as that in the above example, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The package using the inner case 30 can be used as follows, for example. That is, first, an article such as a fragrance is accommodated in the inner case 30 in a state of being sealed with a plastic bag or film, and the inner case 30 is fitted into the outer case 31 for display sales. And the customer who purchased this takes out the inner case 30 from the outer case 31 and discards the outer case 31, while taking out the sealed article from the inner case 30 and opening it. And this is again accommodated in the inner case 30, and this inner case 30 is mounted in an appropriate place with the flat surface 52 turned down. Thereby, the fragrance and medicinal components derived from the fragrance inside the inner case 30 are gradually released from the slit 70 of the inner case 30, and the effect is maintained for a long time.

  According to this packaging body, although the whole is a cheap and simple packaging body, the inner case 30 also serves as a case for releasing fragrances and medicinal components such as fragrances. It is economical and convenient to use.

  In the above example, three slits 70 are provided in the inner case 30 in order to release fragrance and medicinal components, but the structure for releasing fragrance and the like is not limited to the shape of the slit 70. Instead, the slit 70 may extend in the circumferential direction, or may be a slit in which a plurality of small holes are dispersedly formed instead of the slit.

  Moreover, in the hollow substantially columnar inner case 30 of the present invention, the outer shape of the peripheral wall formed by projecting the two substantially semi-cylindrical recesses to the outside does not have to be substantially elliptical as in the above example. The shape may be a substantially true cylindrical shape or a substantially polygonal cylindrical shape. However, in terms of ease of forming such as vacuum forming and stability during use, it is preferable to form a substantially elliptical cylinder as in the above example. In addition, when making the outer shape into a substantially polygonal cylindrical shape, the bottom of at least one of the substantially semi-cylindrical recesses inevitably becomes a flat surface among the two substantially semi-cylindrical recesses 50 and 51 forming the shape. . In that case, if the inner case 30 can be stably placed in a tilted position by the flat surface, it is not particularly necessary to intentionally form the flat surface, and it is derived from the substantially multi-cylindrical shape. The inner case 30 may be placed using a flat surface.

  Although the present invention is a simple package combining sheets, not all of them are disposable, and even when the article is used, a part of the package can be used as a container for the article. It can be widely used as an easy-to-use package.
