JP7482006B2 - Blank, blank joint, outer container, container for contents made of gel composition having deodorizing or odor eliminating function - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a container for contents that is made of a blank, a blank joint, an outer container, and a gel-like composition having a deodorizing or odor eliminating function.

Gel compositions with deodorizing or odor eliminating functions have been known as deodorants or odor removers. Such gel compositions have sometimes been provided in a sealed state in an inner container, for example, a resin tray-shaped container and a sheet-like member for sealing. However, since there is a risk of the sheet-like member being damaged if only this inner container is displayed in a storefront, the inner container has been further placed inside an outer container for sale.

In addition, deodorants, fragrances, etc. are used with the sheet-like member of the inner container removed, and therefore the gel composition is exposed to the outside. In the past, therefore, in order to prevent the gel composition from being touched by hand by mistake, a resin lid having a large number of mesh-like ventilation holes was additionally provided.
However, there has been a demand to abolish plastic lids due to the fact that they end up being disposed of as waste and because of their high manufacturing costs.
A top-opening paper carton suitable for storing confectionery items is disclosed in Patent Literature 1. It would be fine if such a paper carton could be used as a form that combines the functions of the outer container and the resin lid, but it was not a suitable container for the contents of a gel composition.
There are also outer containers that use a paper base material, but in order to give the outer container water resistance, etc., a PP sheet or the like is attached to the surface of the paper base material that faces the contents. Therefore, there have been issues in terms of reducing the environmental impact of containers, such as reducing the amount of plastic used and using paper for containers.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a blank 101 according to the present invention. Note that Fig. 1 shows the surface that will become the outside in the form of an outer container 103 as the front side of the page.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a joined blank body 102 formed by joining parts of the blanks 101 together.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a container 104 in which an inner container 200 is contained within an outer container 103 formed by assembling joined blanks 102 into a box shape.
Note that the figures shown below, including Figures 1 to 3, are schematic diagrams, and the size and shape of each part are exaggerated or omitted as appropriate to facilitate understanding.
In the following description, specific numerical values, shapes, materials, etc. are given, but these can be changed as appropriate.

In this embodiment, a container 104 in which an inner container 200 is contained within an outer container 103, the outer container 103 and a blank joined body 102, and a blank 101 in an unfolded state prior to assembling the outer container 103 and the blank joined body 102 are described. In addition, a content N made of a gel-like composition having a deodorizing or odor eliminating function is contained within the inner container 200.

The outer container 103 has a box-like shape to house the inner container 200 described below, and is formed by assembling blank joined bodies 102 into a box shape. The blank joined body 102 is formed by folding a portion of the blank 101 along planned folding lines (L2, L3) and joining the first top surface portion 13 and the second top surface portion 15 in a planned joining area (13b). Therefore, the blank 101 is configured to have a shape that represents the shape of the blank joined body 102 and the outer container 103, and therefore each part of the blank 101, blank joined body 102, and outer container 103 will be described with common reference numerals.

The blank 101, the blank joint 102, and the outer container 103 of this embodiment are made of waterproof paper. Here, waterproof paper refers to paper that has a water permeability of 3.0 (g/ ^m2 ·24h) or less in the moisture permeability test method for moisture-proof packaging materials (cup method, JIS Z0208). As a configuration of waterproof paper, for example, a configuration in which a resin layer is provided on the content side surface of a paper base layer can be exemplified, and the surface of the resin layer side having water resistance becomes the inner surface of the outer container so as to face the contents. As an example of the resin layer provided on the content side surface of the paper base layer, for example, a layer configuration in which a fluorine-based coating layer and an acrylic resin-based coating layer are laminated on the surface of the paper base layer in this order can be exemplified. In addition, since the surface of the paper base layer becomes the surface of the outer container, the product name, usage, etc. are appropriately printed on it.
The paper base layer is a base layer that supports the resin layer, and is composed of, for example, kraft paper, paperboard, processed paper, milk base paper, etc. From the viewpoints of processing suitability, strength, etc., the basis weight of the paper base layer is preferably 160 g/m ² or more and 600 g/m ² or less, and more preferably 230 g/m ² or more and 550 g/m ² or less.
The fluorine-based coating layer has water- and oil-repellent properties, and the coating amount of the fluorine-based coating layer is desirably formed in a range of 0.2 g/ ^m2 or more and 3.0 g/ ^m2 or less in terms of dry mass conversion in order to ensure excellent water- and oil-repellent properties and to maintain the flexibility of the paper.
In addition, the acrylic resin-based coating layer has water resistance, and the amount of the acrylic resin-based coating layer applied is preferably in the range of 1.5 to 5.0 g/ ^m2 in terms of dry mass in order to ensure water resistance and maintain the flexibility of the paper.
The blank 101, blank joined body 102, and outer container 103 are made of water-resistant paper mainly for the purpose of preventing the outer container 103 from being deformed or damaged by moisture generated during use of the gel composition having a deodorizing or odor eliminating function contained in the inner container 200. In addition, the container 104 of this embodiment is low in height and has excellent stability, and is therefore expected to be installed and used under a seat in a vehicle such as an automobile. In such a case, it is expected that the container may come into contact with a wet umbrella, etc., so it is desirable for the container to be water-resistant.

The blank 101, blank joint 102, and outer container 103 each have a bottom portion 11, a first side wall portion 12, a first top portion 13, a second side wall portion 14, a second top portion 15, a first lid portion 16, a second lid portion 17, a claim piece 18, and web corner portions 19, 20, 21, and 22.

The bottom surface portion 11 is formed in a rectangular shape. In this embodiment, it is configured in a rectangular shape. When in the state of the outer container 103, the bottom surface portion 11 forms the bottom surface.

The first side wall 12 is connected to the bottom 11 via a first planned fold line L1 along one side of the bottom 11, which is one of the long sides in this embodiment. In Fig. 1, the planned fold line L1 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103. Thus, the first side wall 12 constitutes a part of the side wall in the form of the outer container 103. A remaining amount confirmation window 12a is opened near the center of the first side wall 12, allowing the remaining amount of the contents N to be confirmed.
In this embodiment, the first side wall portion 12 has a trapezoidal shape in which the first planned fold line L1 is shorter than the second planned fold line L2, i.e., the side on the bottom surface portion 11 side is shorter than the side on the first top surface portion 13 side.

The first top surface portion 13 is provided at a position connected to the first side wall portion 12 via a second planned fold line L2 provided at a position facing the first planned fold line L1 across the first side wall portion 12. In Fig. 1, the planned fold line L2 is mountain-folded in the state of the outer container 103. Therefore, in the state of the outer container 103, the first top surface portion 13 faces the bottom surface portion 11 and forms a top surface that is approximately parallel to the bottom surface portion 11.
The first top surface portion 13 has a plurality of opened ventilation holes 13a. In this embodiment, the first top surface portion 13 has three ventilation holes 13a, two of which are spaced apart in an arrangement direction parallel to the second planned folding line L2, and the remaining ventilation hole 13a is arranged in a position that is shifted from the arrangement position of the previous two ventilation holes 13a and alternates with the other two ventilation holes 13a. That is, the ventilation holes 13a are arranged alternately in multiple rows on the first top surface portion 13. In this embodiment, the ventilation holes 13a are arranged near the center of the first top surface portion 13.

In order to fully exert the deodorizing or odor eliminating effect of the gel composition, it is desirable that the total area of the multiple ventilation holes 13a is 1.5% or more and 4.0% or less of the area of the first top surface portion 13. If the total area of the multiple ventilation holes 13a is less than 1.5% of the area of the first top surface portion 13, the deodorizing or odor eliminating effect of the gel composition will be significantly reduced. Also, if the total area of the multiple ventilation holes 13a is more than 4.0% of the area of the first top surface portion 13, the life of the gel composition will be shortened, and the balance with the deodorizing or odor eliminating effect will be inappropriate.

In addition, a joining area 13b to be joined to the second top surface portion 15 is provided in a position other than the ventilation hole 13a. In this embodiment, the joining area 13b is provided in two places on either side of the ventilation hole 13a. The second top surface portion 15 is joined to the first top surface portion 13 by attaching double-sided tape or applying adhesive to the joining area 13b.

The second side wall 14 is connected to the bottom surface 11 via a third planned fold line L3, which is provided at a position opposite the first planned fold line L1 across the bottom surface 11. In FIG. 1, the third planned fold line L3 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103. Therefore, in the form of the outer container 103, the second side wall 14 faces the first side wall 12 and forms a part of the side wall substantially parallel to the first side wall 12. Near the center of the second side wall 14, a remaining amount confirmation window 14a is opened, through which the remaining amount of contents N can be confirmed.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing the container 104 from the first side wall portion 12 side.
From the remaining amount check window 14a and the previously described remaining amount check window 12a, the contents N contained in the inner container 200 can be confirmed through the inner container 200. The inner container 200 has a transparent resin container part 201 and a film material 202 that seals it, and the contents N can be seen through the resin container part 201 from the remaining amount check window 12a and the remaining amount check window 14a.
In this embodiment, the second side wall portion 14 has a trapezoidal shape in which the third planned fold line L3 is shorter than the fourth planned fold line L4, i.e., the side on the bottom surface portion 11 side is shorter than the side on the second top surface portion 15 side.

The second top surface portion 15 is arranged to be connected to the second side wall portion 14 via a fourth planned fold line L4 that is provided at a position opposite the third planned fold line L3 across the second side wall portion 14. In FIG. 1, the fourth planned fold line L4 is folded in a mountain shape when the outer container 103 is in the state of the outer container 103. Then, when the outer container 103 is in the state of the second top surface portion 15, it is arranged outside the first top surface portion 13 and is joined at the planned joining region 13b.

The second top surface portion 15 has non-removal portions 15a and 15c and a portion to be resected 15b.
The non-removal portions 15a and 15c are provided in areas overlapping with the joining region 13b. In this embodiment, the non-removal portions 15a and 15c are provided in two regions sandwiching the resection portion 15b.
The planned excision portion 15b is provided in an area overlapping with the ventilation hole 13a of the first top surface portion 13. In this embodiment, the planned excision portion 15b is provided near the center of the second top surface portion 15 and extends in a direction along the fourth planned folding line L4. In addition, the planned excision portion 15b in this embodiment is formed such that one end side (the side of the appeal piece 18 described later) in the extension direction along the fourth planned folding line L4 is expanded to a width that matches the end width of the second top surface portion 15. Therefore, the planned excision portion 15b has a width that matches the end width of the second top surface portion 15 at one end side, and is narrowed at the other end side by being sandwiched between the non-planned excision portions 15a and 15c. When using the planned excision portion 15b, it is excised by pulling it up by hand.

At the boundary between the non-removal portion 15a and the non-removal portion 15c and the resection portion 15b, a planned cutting line C1 is provided that enables the resection portion 15b to be cut. The planned cutting line C1 is a line of linear or curved "L-shaped" slits (through grooves) arranged at intervals. The slits make it possible to easily cut out the resection portion 15b by hand. The specific form of the resection portion 15b can be any suitable conventional configuration for facilitating cutting, such as so-called perforations.

The first cover portion 16 is connected to the bottom portion 11 via a fifth planned fold line L5 extending in a direction perpendicular to the first planned fold line L1. In FIG. 1, the fifth planned fold line L5 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103.
The first lid portion 16 includes a first lid main body portion 16a and a first insertion piece 16b.
The first lid main body portion 16a is an area that is connected to the bottom portion 11 via the fifth planned folding line L5, and when in the state of the outer container 103, it becomes an openable lid that is exposed at the longitudinal end.
The first insertion piece 16b is connected to the first lid body 16a via a first lid folding planned line L51 provided at a position opposite to the fifth folding planned line L5. In FIG. 1, the first lid folding planned line L51 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103. Therefore, in the state of the outer container 103, the first insertion piece 16b is inserted into the inside of the outer container 103. In addition, a cut portion C2 is provided at both ends of the first lid folding planned line L51. In a state where the first insertion piece 16b is inserted into the inside of the outer container 103, that is, in a state where the first lid 16 is closed, the cut portion C2 can be engaged with the web corner portions 19 and 20 described later to temporarily lock (lock) the first lid 16 so that it does not open easily.

The second lid portion 17 is provided so as to be connected to the bottom portion 11 via a sixth planned fold line L6 provided at a position opposite to the fifth planned fold line L5 across the bottom portion 11. In FIG. 1, the sixth planned fold line L6 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103.
The second lid portion 17 includes a second lid main body portion 17a and a second insertion piece 17b.
The second lid main body portion 17a is an area that is connected to the bottom portion 11 via the sixth planned folding line L6, and when in the state of the outer container 103, it becomes an openable lid exposed at the longitudinal end portion at a position opposite to the first lid main body portion 16a.
The second insertion piece 17b is connected to the second lid body 17a via a second lid folding planned line L61 provided at a position opposite to the sixth folding planned line L6. In FIG. 1, the second lid folding planned line L61 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103. Therefore, in the state of the outer container 103, the second insertion piece 17b is inserted into the inside of the outer container 103. In addition, a cut portion C2 is provided at both ends of the second lid folding planned line L61. In a state where the second insertion piece 17b is inserted into the inside of the outer container 103, that is, in a state where the second lid 17 is closed, the cut portion C2 can be engaged with the web corner portions 21 and 22 described later to temporarily lock (lock) the second lid 17 so that it does not open easily.

As described above, the first side wall 12 of this embodiment has a trapezoidal shape with the side on the bottom surface 11 side shorter than the side on the first top surface 13 side, and the second side wall 14 has a trapezoidal shape with the side on the bottom surface 11 side shorter than the side on the second top surface 15 side. Therefore, when the first lid body 16a is closed in the state of the outer container 103, the first lid body 16a forms a slope that is inclined rather than perpendicular to the bottom surface 11. Similarly, when the second lid body 17a is closed in the state of the outer container 103, the second lid body 17a forms a slope that is inclined rather than perpendicular to the bottom surface 11. With this configuration, when the container 104 containing the inner container 200 is displayed in a storefront or the like, it is difficult to display the container 104 stably on a display stand or the like with the first lid body 16a or the second lid body 17a facing downward. Since the inner container 200 contains the contents N made of a gel composition, displaying the container with the first lid body 16a or the second lid body 17a facing downwards is undesirable as it may cause the contents N to be biased to one side. Therefore, the outer container 103 of this embodiment is configured to make it difficult to display the container with the first lid body 16a or the second lid body 17a facing downwards, thereby preventing the contents N from being biased.

The appeal piece 18 is connected to the second top surface 15 via a seventh planned fold line L7 along one side of the second top surface 15. In FIG. 1, the seventh planned fold line L7 is folded in a mountain shape in the state of the outer container 103. The appeal piece 18 is not restricted in its position other than being connected to the second top surface 15 via the seventh planned fold line L7. Therefore, when the appeal piece is folded at the seventh planned fold line L7, it forms an inclined surface inclined relative to the bottom surface 11. With this configuration, when the container 104 is displayed below a display shelf in a store, etc., the product name, etc. displayed on the appeal piece 18 can be easily seen by customers.

In addition, the appeal piece 18 is not connected to the non-removal portions 15a and 15c, but is connected to the portion to be resected 15b. Therefore, when the portion to be resected 15b is removed during use, the appeal piece 18 is also removed together with the portion to be resected 15b. Therefore, in the container 104 in the used state shown in FIG. 8, the appeal piece 18 does not protrude from the outer container 103, and the arrangement space for the container 104 in the used state can be minimized.

The web corner portion 19 is connected to the first lid portion 16 via the ninth planned fold line L9, and is connected to the first side wall portion 12 via the tenth planned fold line L10. In addition, an eighth planned fold line L8 is provided near the center of the web corner portion 19, extending diagonally with respect to the fifth planned fold line L5.

The web corner portion 20 is connected to the first lid portion 16 via the ninth planned fold line L9, and is connected to the second side wall portion 14 via the tenth planned fold line L10. In addition, an eighth planned fold line L8 is provided near the center of the web corner portion 20, extending diagonally with respect to the fifth planned fold line L5.

The web corner portion 21 is connected to the second lid portion 17 via the ninth planned fold line L9, and is connected to the first side wall portion 12 via the tenth planned fold line L10. In addition, an eighth planned fold line L8 is provided near the center of the web corner portion 21, extending diagonally with respect to the sixth planned fold line L6.

The web corner portion 22 is connected to the second lid portion 17 via the ninth planned fold line L9, and is connected to the second side wall portion 14 via the tenth planned fold line L10. In addition, an eighth planned fold line L8 is provided near the center of the web corner portion 22, extending diagonally with respect to the sixth planned fold line L6.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the vicinity of the web corner portion 21 in the state of the outer container 103. As shown in FIG.
As described above, when the second cover portion 17 is closed, the web corner portion 21 engages with the notch portion C2 to temporarily secure (lock) the second cover portion 17 so that it cannot be easily opened.
5, the eighth planned fold line L8 is a valley fold in FIG. 1, and the ninth planned fold line L9 and the tenth planned fold line L10 are mountain folds. Even when the second lid portion 17 is open, the folds of the planned fold lines L8, L9, and L10 remain. Therefore, when the second lid portion 17 is opened and then closed again, the web corner portion 21 can naturally fit into a predetermined position without any special work. Therefore, even after the first lid portion 16 or the second lid portion 17 is opened once to put the container 104 into a usable state, the web corner portion 21 can fit into the correct position and engage with the notch portion C2. The same applies to the other web corner portions 19, 20, and 22.

Next, a method for preparing the container 104 containing the content N, which is a gel composition having a deodorizing or odor eliminating function and is contained in the inner container 200, for use will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how the portion to be excised 15 b is excised from the outer container 103 of the container 104 .
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the state in which the inner container 200 is pulled out from the outer container 103 and the film material 202 is peeled off from the resin container portion 201. As shown in FIG.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the container 104 in a used state in which the inner container 200, from which the film material 202 has been removed, has been returned into the outer container 103.

6, the portion to be cut 15b is cut from the outer container 103 from the side opposite to the appeal piece 18, thereby exposing the ventilation hole 13a of the first top surface 13 and allowing ventilation between the inside and outside of the outer container 103. Once the portion to be cut 15b is cut, it cannot be returned to its original state, providing an anti-opening function and making it possible to clearly state the virginity of the product.
Next, as shown in Fig. 7, the inner container 200 is pulled out from the outer container 103, and the film material 202 is peeled off from the resin container portion 201. This opens the top of the inner container 200, allowing the content N, which is a gel composition having a deodorizing or odor eliminating function, to come into contact with the outside air. Note that, although the second lid portion 17 is open in Fig. 7, the first lid portion 16 may also be opened.
Finally, the inner container 200 from which the film material 202 has been removed is returned to the outer container 103 to provide the container 104 in a usable state, as shown in FIG.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned procedure shows a recommended procedure, and for example, the resection of the portion to be resected 15b may be performed last, or the order may be changed as appropriate.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the outer container 103 is water-resistant, so that it is possible to store and use the gel composition content N in a usable state. In addition, the outer container 103 is configured with an air vent 13a. Therefore, without using a resin lid for the inner container as in the conventional case, the content N can be stored in a usable state while preventing the content N from being touched accidentally, making it a highly convenient container suitable for the gel composition content. In addition, the intended cutting portion 15b is provided so that only a portion of the second top surface portion 15 is cut off for use, so that it has an anti-opening function and the virginity of the product can be clearly identified.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a blank 101B according to the second embodiment.
In addition, parts that perform the same functions as those in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted as appropriate.
The blank 101B of the second embodiment is a blank capable of forming an outer container having a larger capacity for an inner container than the blank 101 of the first embodiment. The blank 101B of the second embodiment has a shape almost similar to that of the blank 101 of the first embodiment, but differs in that the size of each part is larger than that of the blank 101 of the first embodiment and the number of ventilation holes 13a is six.

According to the second embodiment, it is possible to achieve the same effects as those of the first embodiment described above.
Furthermore, the blank 101B of the second embodiment can accommodate a larger volume of contents.

(Example)
The following describes the present invention by giving specific examples.
As the paper base layer of the waterproof paper of the blank 101, a white paperboard having a basis weight of 315 g/m ² and a thickness of 410 μm was prepared.
A fluorine-based coating layer was formed on one side of the paper base layer (the side facing the contents). Specifically, the paper base layer was coated with a gravure coater in a conventional manner so as to have a dry mass of 0.5 g/ ^m2 , and then dried to form a fluorine-based coating layer.
Furthermore, an acrylic resin-based coating layer was formed on the fluorine-based coating layer (the surface on the side of the contents) and laminated. Specifically, a gravure coater was used in a conventional manner to coat the acrylic resin-based coating layer to a dry mass of 3.0 g/ ^m2 , and then the layer was dried to form an acrylic resin-based coating layer.

From the waterproof paper roll prepared as described above, a blank 101 having the shape shown in FIG. 1 was cut out. This blank 101 was folded so that the side coated with the resin layer (the back side of the paper in FIG. 1) was on the inside, and adhesive was applied to the intended joining area 13b to form the outer container 103.

The amount of evaporation of the content N (a gel composition having a deodorizing function) was measured with the content N actually contained therein using this outer container 103. Specifically, the inner container 200 containing the content N and from which the film material 202 had been peeled off was placed inside the outer container 103 from which the portion to be excised 15b had been excised, similar to the actual use state. In this state, the container was left for 14 days in a windless environment adjusted to a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees (room temperature set at 25 degrees Celsius) and humidity of 40 to 60%, allowing the content N to evaporate, and the amount of reduction in the content N was measured to obtain the amount of evaporation.
For comparison, a conventional product made of resin and a comparative example having the same shape as the outer container 103 but made of a different material (paper) were prepared, and the amount of evaporation of the content N was measured.
The conventional product has a conventional form in which a resin lid with multiple ventilation holes is attached to the inner container 200. In this case, there is no outer container, and the lid with ventilation holes covers the open surface of the inner container 200. The total area of the ventilation holes in this lid is 3.8% of the area of the top surface of the lid.
In the comparative example, the outer container 103 is made of waterproof paper (functional paperboard TS, basis weight 320 g/ ^m2 , manufactured by Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.). The waterproof paper of the comparative example is imparted with water resistance to each layer of the paper by adding chemicals during the papermaking process by the paper manufacturer. In contrast, the waterproof paper of the example is made waterproof by forming a coating film of a fluorine-based coating layer and an acrylic resin-based coating layer on a normal white paperboard. In other words, the waterproof paper of the example differs from the comparative example in that a coating film is formed by coating.
As a result of the measurement, the outer container 103 of the embodiment had an evaporation rate equivalent to that of a conventional product in which a plastic lid was attached to the inner container 200. The comparative example made of water-resistant paper had an evaporation rate of about 170% of that of the conventional product. This is presumably because the water resistance of the comparative example was insufficient and the outer container of the comparative example itself had the ability to absorb moisture and evaporate.
The number of days that the content N can be used was calculated by converting it into the amount of evaporation at the expected place of use, and the results are as follows. This makes it possible to adjust the period to achieve a more preferable effect in actual use.
(Number of usable days based on converted transpiration rate)
Conventional product (plastic lid): 30 days Comparative example (water-resistant paper): 18 days Example: 30 days
