Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention is manufactured from a synthetic resin sheet material by vacuum forming, and has a container body and a lid that are connected to each other so that they can swing open and close using one side as a fulcrum. , relates to a container for quail eggs that is formed integrally with a plurality of concave portions for storing quail eggs.

As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional container of this type has two quail egg storage recesses 03 formed at a depth approximately half of the egg, facing each other on the container body 01 and lid 02 sides. However, the conventional product with such a structure has many very small recesses that are divided into two, so to speak, in the main body and lid of the container for originally small quail eggs. In addition to being disadvantageous in terms of cost, such as the need to form molds, which increases the manufacturing cost of molds, it is also necessary to place marks, etc., on any part of the container to indicate the type of content, manufacturer, etc. There is no flat surface large enough to clearly mark the
Even if they were to be affixed, it would take a lot of effort to attach the postmarks, and it would also involve transporting numerous containers containing quail eggs.
When stacking containers for display, etc., both the bottom and top surfaces of the containers are uneven due to the presence of the above-mentioned recesses, so in order to stack them stably, they must be stacked vertically so that the protrusions fall into the recesses. It is necessary to stack the containers with different positions, which makes it impossible to stack them in multiple stages, and the disadvantage is that the space required for transportation, display, etc. is increased.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention has developed a container for quail eggs that can store the same number of quail eggs as before, and is more advantageous in terms of manufacturing costs, postmarks, and display space. Be purposeful in what you offer.

In order to achieve the above object, the quail egg container according to the present invention has a container body and a lid that are connected to each other so as to be able to swing open and close using one side as a fulcrum, and a plurality of quail eggs are placed only on the container body side. In addition to integrally forming a storage recess,
The entire portion of the lid side except for the peripheral flange that contacts the peripheral flange of the container body in the closed position is recessed, and an annular rectangular reinforcing groove is formed around the recessed portion, and the other central portion is recessed. The container has a configuration in which a flat surface is formed, a projection is formed on the container body side to come into contact with the lower surface of the flat surface of the lid body in the closed position, and a postmark is attached to the flat surface, It has come to have the following effects.

[1] A plurality of quail egg storage recesses are formed only on the container body side, and most of the lid side is recessed except for the peripheral flange necessary to maintain the closed position, so it is different from the conventional method described above. The number of recesses that are small and require elaborate features is smaller than that of the container body, which reduces the manufacturing cost of the mold and ultimately the product price. By storing the quail eggs in the container, it is possible to separate the quail eggs from each other and avoid damage caused by collisions between the eggs.

[2] Since the lid side has an annular rectangular reinforcing groove on its periphery, it is possible to form a large flat surface using most of the groove, so even if it is a printing means or a pasting means, it is possible to use a postmark. It is easy to attach brand marks etc. in a clear state, and it is also easy to attach and display brand marks, etc. Moreover, attached postmarks etc. are easy to attach because there is less sliding contact with other objects due to the presence of reinforcing grooves. will not be damaged.

[3] An annular rectangular reinforcing groove is formed around the upper surface of the lid, and a large flat surface exists in the center other than that, and the flat surface is received and supported by a projection on the container body side. Therefore, containers containing quail eggs can be stably stacked in multiple tiers without shifting, and transportation, display, etc. can be carried out advantageously in terms of space and safely.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 to 3, 1 is a container body with a rectangular outer shape, 2 is a lid body with a rectangular outer shape, and both 1 and 2 are formed along one long side of the adjacent one. The projecting portions 7 are connected to each other so that they can swing open and close using the protruding portions 7 as fulcrums. On the side of the container body 1, there are a total of ten quail egg storage recesses 3, arranged in two rows in the short side direction and five in the long side direction, at equal intervals in the part surrounded by the annular rectangular peripheral flange 1A. The entire portion except for the annular rectangular peripheral flange 2A that is in close contact with the peripheral flange 1A of the container body 1 in the closed position on the lid body 2 side is recessed upward in the closed position. This recessed portion 2B has an annular rectangular reinforcing groove portion 2C formed around it, and a flat surface 4 formed in the other central portion thereof. A POS mark 6 is printed on the flat surface 4 of the lid 2, and various display marks such as a brand can be affixed to parts of the flat surface 4 other than where the POS mark 6 is printed, if necessary. . Furthermore, in the position where the container body 1 and the lid body 2 are closed, the lid body 2 is placed at a position corresponding to the intersection of the partition wall portions 1B that mutually partition the quail egg storage recesses 3 of the container body 1.
in contact with the lower surface of the flat surface 4 of each of the recesses 3...
A projection 5 for preventing the flat surface 4 from coming into contact with the upper end of the quail egg E stored in ... is integrally formed to protrude, and the entire structure described above is made of thermoplastic material such as polypropylene. It is integrally manufactured from synthetic resin sheet material by vacuum forming.

In addition, each of the recesses 3 has an entrance portion with a diameter that is large enough for the quail egg E, or has a fourth diameter.
As clearly shown in the figure, when quail egg E is stored there,
The straight line X connecting the center of the entrance and the center of the bottom is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical line Y so that the top, which is the weakest in strength, is not facing straight up and the whole egg can be stored in a slightly tilted position. By forming the quail roe in such a state that the quail roe can be damaged, damage to the quail roe can be suppressed as much as possible.

Further, it is most preferable that the post mark 6 be printed in advance on the resin base plate before vacuum forming, but it may be printed after forming, or a paper on which the mark is printed may be pasted.
