It includes a plate-shaped header portion 300 formed so as to extend. The main body portion 10, the closing portion 20, and the header portion 300 are made of a thin plate-like material such as paper or a resin material. Hereinafter, these members will be described in detail.

<1-1. Plates and flaps>
As shown in FIG. 2, the main body portion 10 is formed of the first to fourth plate members 1 to 4 formed in a rectangular shape. In the following, the left-right direction in FIG. 2 will be referred to as a longitudinal direction, and the vertical direction will be referred to as a lateral direction. Further, in each of the plate materials 1 to 4, the front side surface of the paper surface of FIG. 2 is referred to as a first surface, and the back surface side is referred to as a second surface. The first surface faces inward when the container is assembled, and the second surface faces outward.

In the first to fourth plate members 1 to 4, the sides in the longitudinal direction are connected to each other in this order, and the connecting portion can be bent. Further, the first header plate 30 constituting the header portion 300 is connected to the side of the first plate material 1 in the longitudinal direction opposite to the second plate material 2. Further, the second header plate 40 constituting the header portion 300 is connected to the side of the fourth plate material 4 in the longitudinal direction opposite to the third plate material 3. Therefore, according to the developed view shown in FIG. 2, the first header plate 30, the first to fourth plate materials 1 to 4, and the second header plate 40 are connected in this order. Here, the connecting portions of the first header plate 30, the first to fourth plate materials 1 to 4, and the second header plate 40 are arranged in the order from the first header plate 30 side to the second header plate 40 side, respectively. ~ 5 Bending lines 11 to 15 will be referred to. For example, the connecting portion between the first header plate 30 and the first plate material 1 is referred to as a first bending line 11, and the connecting portion between the fourth plate material 4 and the second header plate 40 is referred to as a fifth bending line 15.

Further, the first header plate 30, the first to fourth plate materials 1 to 4, and the second header plate 40 have the same length in the longitudinal direction, but differ in the length in the lateral direction. That is, the lengths of the first header plate 30, the second plate 2, the fourth plate 4, and the second header plate 40 in the lateral direction are substantially the same, and the lengths of the first plate 1 and the third plate 3 in the lateral direction are substantially the same. The lengths of are about the same. The length of the first plate member 1 in the lateral direction is longer than the length of the second plate material 2 in the lateral direction.

Next, the flaps constituting the closed portion 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, rectangular first large flaps (first flaps) 21 are foldably connected to both sides of the first plate member 1 in the longitudinal direction. The length of the first large flap 21 in the longitudinal direction is substantially the same as the length in the lateral direction of the second plate material 2, and the length in the lateral direction is the length in the lateral direction of the first plate material 1. It's almost the same. Further, rectangular second large flaps (third flaps) 22 are foldably connected to both sides of the third plate member 3 in the longitudinal direction. The second large flap 22 is formed to be slightly smaller than the first large flap 21.

Triangular first connecting flaps (second flaps) 23 are foldably connected to both sides of the second plate member 2 in the longitudinal direction. Further, triangular second connecting flaps (fourth flaps) 24 are foldably connected to both sides of the fourth plate member 4 in the longitudinal direction. Both connecting flaps have the same shape, and circular protrusions 231 and 241 protruding downward (on the side of the second header plate 40) are formed at the top of the tip. Here, each of the flaps 21 to 24 is connected to both ends of the first, second, third, and fourth plate materials 1 to 4, respectively, and this connecting portion is connected to the first plate material 1 side to the fourth plate material. On each of the four sides, the first to fourth horizontal bending lines 31 to 34 will be referred to. For example, the connecting portion between the first plate material 1 and the first large flap 21 is referred to as a first horizontal bending line 31, and the connecting portion between the fourth plate material 4 and the second connecting flap 24 is referred to as a fourth horizontal bending line 34. ..

Further, the description of the article is displayed on the first surface of the first to fourth plate members 1 to 4 facing inward in the main body 10. For example, when the article is a drug, the items described in the package insert of the drug (hereinafter referred to as the description items of the article) are displayed.

<1-2. Break line>
Next, the break lines formed on these plate materials, flaps, and the like will be described. The break line is a line formed by perforations or the like and breaks when an external force is applied. First, an arc-shaped first breaking line (first separation breaking line) 41 having both ends is formed on the fifth bending line 15 near the center in the longitudinal direction of the fourth plate member 4. The length of the first breaking line 41 in the lateral direction is about 1/3 of the length of the fourth plate member 4 in the lateral direction. The semicircular region surrounded by the fifth bending line 15 and the first breaking line 41 constitutes the pushing region (grip portion) 60. Further, after the push-in region 60 is cut off from the fourth plate material 4, an arc-shaped first recess 70 is formed in the fourth plate material 4 (see FIG. 10 and the like).

Further, in the fifth bending line 15, the portions from both sides of the first breaking line 41 to both sides of the fourth plate material 4 form the second breaking line (first separation breaking line) 42.

Further, a third break line (second separation break line) 43 is formed on the first horizontal bending line 31 connecting the first plate material 1 and the first large flap 21. Therefore, the first lateral bending line 31 can be broken.

<2. How to assemble the container>
Next, the assembly of the developed container will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the container in the process of assembly, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the container in the process of assembly. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the first bending line 11 is bent, the first header plate 30 is raised with respect to the first plate material 1, and the second to third bending lines 11 to 13 are bent, and the first to first. The square tubular body portion 10 is formed by the fourth plate members 1 to 4. Next, the first surface of the first header plate 30 and the first surface of the second header plate 40 are bonded and integrated with the adhesive 75. In this way, the first and second header plates 30 and 40 are integrated to form the header portion 300. By the above steps, the main body portion 10 having an internal space for accommodating the article and the header portion 300 rising from the main body portion 10 are completed.

Next, the closing portion 20 is assembled. At this time, of the both ends in the axial direction of the main body 10, the closing portion 20 is assembled so as to close one opening, and then the article is accommodated in the internal space from the other opening. Then, when the other opening is closed by the closing portion 20, the assembly of the container is completed. Hereinafter, the assembly of the closed portion 20 will be described. However, since the assembly of the two closing portions 20 is the same, only one of them will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the second and fourth lateral bending lines 32 and 34 are bent, and both connecting flaps 23 and 24 are arranged so as to close the opening of the main body 10. Next, the third lateral bending line 33 is bent, and the second large flap 22 is arranged so as to cover both connecting flaps 23 and 24. Subsequently, the first lateral bending line 31 is bent, and the first large flap 21 is arranged so as to cover the second large flap 22. At this time, both large flaps 21 and 22 are fixed with an adhesive. As a result, the opening of the main body 10 is closed by the four flaps 21 to 24, and the closed portion 20 is completed. Similarly, the closure is assembled at the other opening. By the above steps, the container according to this embodiment is completed.

<3. How to use the container>
Next, a method of using the assembled container will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 11. 5 to 11 are perspective views illustrating how to use the container. First, from the state of FIG. 5, while grasping the header portion 300 with a finger, the pushing region 60 of the fourth plate material 4 is pushed with a finger. As a result, the first breaking line 41 is broken, and the finger can be inserted into the main body portion 10. Then, a finger is inserted into the main body portion 10, hooked on the first surface (inner surface) of the first plate material 1, and pulled up so as to be separated from the fourth plate material 4. As a result, the second breaking line 42 and the third breaking line 43 are broken in this order, the first plate material 1 is opened, and an opening 800 leading to the internal space is formed, as shown in FIG. In this state, the article can be taken out.

From this state, as shown in FIG. 7, when the main body portion 10 is unfolded, the explanatory items of the article described on the first surface can be visually recognized. When the main body portion 10 is unfolded in this way, the first large flap 21 is cut off from the first plate material 1 and is held in a state of being adhered to the second large flap 22.

Next, a method of re-storing the taken-out article will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 8, the expanded main body portion 10 is bent into a square cylinder from the state shown in FIG. 7. That is, the second to fourth folding lines 12 to 14 are bent so that the second surface of the main body portion 10 faces inward, and the square tubular main body portion 10 is formed by the first to fourth plate members 1 to 4. Hereinafter, this main body portion will be referred to as a storage main body portion 500 in order to distinguish it from the main body portion 10 before taking out the article.

Subsequently, the openings on both sides of the storage main body 500 in the axial direction are closed by flaps. First, the third horizontal bending line 33 is bent, and the opening is closed by the integrated double large flaps 21 and 22. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the second and fourth lateral folding lines 32 and 34 are bent to engage the protruding portion 231 of the first connecting flap 23 with the protruding portion 241 of the second connecting flap 24. That is, since the protruding portion 231 of the first connecting flap 23 faces the third plate material 3 side and the protruding portion 241 of the second connecting flap 24 faces the first plate material 1, both protruding portions 231 and 241 They are facing in opposite directions. Therefore, they can be engaged with each other.

As a result, both connecting flaps 23 and 24 are connected, so that the second plate material 2 and the fourth plate material 4 connected to them are held in a parallel state. As a result, the storage main body portion 500 made of the first to fourth plate members 1 to 4 is held in a square tubular shape. As a result, an opening 700 surrounded by the second plate material 2, the fourth plate material 4, and the flaps 21 to 24 is formed, and the article can be stored in the internal space of the storage main body portion 500 from the opening 700. Then, since the first plate material 1 serves as a lid for closing the opening 700, as shown in FIG. 10, when the header portion 300 is inserted into the inner surface (second surface) of the fourth plate material 4 as a flap for insertion. , As shown in FIG. 11, the opening 700 is closed by the first plate material 1. In this way, the article is again contained in the container. At this time, since the pushing region 60 protrudes from the first plate material 1, when the pushing region 60 is pulled up as a handle, the opening 700 closed by the first plate material 1 can be opened and the article can be taken out. .. Further, since the description of the article is described on the first surface of the first to fourth plate materials 1 to 4, this description item appears on the outer surface of the storage main body portion 500.

<4. Features>
As described above, the present embodiment has the following features. The main body portion 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the first to third break lines 41 to 43 are broken so that the main body portion 10 can be developed. Then, the developed main body portion 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape so that the first surface is an outer surface, and the tubular shape can be maintained by connecting the first and second connecting flaps 23 and 24. That is, it is possible to form a storage main body portion 500 that can store articles again. At this time, the first plate material 1 serves as a lid for closing the opening 700 of the storage main body portion 500, and the header portion 300 serves as a flap for insertion attached to the lid. Therefore, the opening 700 can be closed tightly.

If the explanatory items of the article are described on the first surface, the explanatory items can be easily visually recognized because the first surface becomes the outer surface when the storage main body portion 500 is formed. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately prepare a document describing the description of the article and store it in the container, the cost can be reduced, and the manufacturing process can be simplified. In particular, since the description items of the article can be described on the entire first surface, the description of the article can be sufficiently performed.
