Further, in the conventional chicken egg container in which the back edge portion of the container-like main body and the back edge portion of the lid to be put on the main body are connected in a row to form an openable and closable hinge portion, the side edge portion of the main body and the lid Since the shape of the side edge portion of the case is different, there is a possibility that a hole may be formed between the two when the lid is closed, and foreign matter may be mixed into the container at a shop front or the like. The second object of the present invention is to solve this problem.

With regard to the size of hen eggs, conventionally, it is naturally considered that the same size of hen eggs is accommodated in the same container, and it is naturally considered that as the hen egg container, a container whose size of the containing recess is matched to the size of the target hen's egg , Each was provided. However, in recent years, the weight of the entire container has been changed to the target value, so a container with the size of the accommodation recess adjusted to the maximum size (LL size) is provided. Chicken eggs are mixed.
However, when an S size chicken egg is accommodated in the LL size accommodation recess, there is a gap between it and the accommodation recess wall, and there is a problem that the egg is inclined and abuts on the egg in the adjacent accommodation recess to be broken. . The third object of the present invention is to solve this problem.

  The configuration of the present invention is described in the following [1] to [3].

(A) is an R-R line sectional view and an end view in FIG. 2 (b), (b) is an S-S line sectional view, (c) is a T-T line sectional view.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The illustrated continuous chicken egg container comprises a first unit chicken egg container A and a second unit chicken egg container B in series at their respective side edges 130 and 330. That is, the main body connecting edge C1a-C1b of the central portion of the side edge portion 130 of the main body 1 is continuously provided, and the lid connecting edge C3a-C3b of the central portion of the side edge portion 330 of the lid 3 The lids 3 are connected in series.

  Each of the first and second unit egg containers A and B has a container-like main body 1, a container-like lid 3 and a receiving plate 5. The main body 1 and the lid 3 are continuously provided at the back edge portion 140 of the main body 1 and the back edge portion 340 of the lid 3, and this continuous portion is used as the container hinge portion 2. That is, the lid 3 can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 1 by using the container hinge 2 as an opening and closing axis.

  Further, at the central portion of the front edge portion 120 of the main body 1, the receiving plate 5 is continuously provided so as to be foldable toward the main body 1 side. That is, the receiving plate 5 is continuously provided from the front edge portion 120 of the main body 1, and this continuous portion is used as the plate hinge portion 4.

  An engagement protrusion 59 is formed in a substantially central portion of the receiving plate 5 so as to protrude (projecting downward in FIG. 1A). When the receiving plate 5 is folded to the side of the main body 1 and the cover 3 is placed on the receiving plate 5 and the main body 1 in that state, the engagement projection 59 is in the engagement hole 39 of the cover front covering portion 32 of the cover 3. The lid 3 is inserted and engaged, and the lid 3 is fixed to the main body 1 side as shown in FIG. 1 (b).

  The container-like main body 1 is provided with 2 × 3 = 6 grids of housing recesses 15 for housing chicken eggs, and a partition 150 is provided between adjacent housing recesses 15-15 ing. The size of each accommodation recess 15 is such a size that the largest size (LL size) of chicken eggs can be accommodated in a vertical orientation. For this reason, when a relatively small size (L size to M size to S size) chicken eggs are accommodated, a slight gap is generated between the small chicken eggs and the wall of the accommodation recess 15, and the chicken eggs are Tilt according to the size of the

  If the height of the dividing wall between the adjacent containing recesses is kept the same as the dividing wall of the egg container conventionally provided for the maximum size (LL size), the inclined chicken egg is in contact with the chicken egg of the adjacent containing recess. There is a fear that it will be broken. In order to prevent this breakage, in the illustrated egg container, the height H of the partition wall (refer to FIG. 3 (b) (c)) is equivalent to that of the adjacent accommodation recess even if it is the minimum size (S size). It is set to the height which does not touch (higher height than before).

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the connecting portion C1 in the main body 1 of the first and second unit chicken egg containers A and B has a convex shape protruding from the side edge 130. That is, the connecting edge C1a of the first unit chicken egg container A and the connecting edge C1b of the second unit chicken egg container B have a convex shape that protrudes from the respective side edges 130.

  On the other hand, the connecting portion C3 in the lid 3 of the first and second unit chicken egg containers A and B has a concave shape recessed from the side edge portion 330, as shown in FIG. 3 (a). That is, the connecting edge C3a of the first unit chicken egg container A and the connecting edge C3b of the second unit chicken egg container B form a concave shape that is recessed from the respective side edges 330.

  Thus, the connecting portion C1 of the main body 1 has a convex shape and the connecting portion C3 of the lid 3 has a concave shape, and further, the main body 1 of the first and second unit egg containers A and B And the lid 3 are integrated through the container hinge part 2 so that the strength of the first and second unit egg containers is sufficiently greater than that of the conventional continuous chicken egg container where the connection site of each unit egg container is flat. Even if the lid 1 is opened and both ends are held by hand, there is no bending.

  Further, in the illustrated continuous chicken egg container, the convex shape formed by the continuous portion C1 in the main body 1 of the first and second unit chicken egg containers A and B, and the first and second unit chicken egg containers A and B The concave shape formed by the connecting portion C3 in the lid 3 has the same corresponding shape. Therefore, when the lid 3 is closed, the side edge 130 including the connecting portion C1 on the side of the main body 1 and the side edge 330 including the connecting portion C3 on the side of the lid 3 closely contact (see FIG. 2 (a)), no holes are formed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from being mixed in from the hole at a storefront or the like.

  Also, in the first and second unit chicken egg containers A and B of the illustrated continuous chicken egg container, when the lid 1 is closed, if the front edge 320 of the lid 3 is heavy on the front edge 120 of the main body 1 Instead, the lid front cover 32 covers most of the main body front wall of the main body 1 (the wall having the front edge 120 as the upper end edge). In other words, the cover front covering portion 32 of the cover 3 has a larger area than in the prior art. For this reason, it is possible to apply desired printing with a larger area than in the prior art, or to apply a label to which desired printing is applied, to the lid front covering portion 32.
