Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The invention is a flexible extrusion container for filling viscous foods such as mayonnaise and ketchup, and other viscous substances.
That is, the present invention relates to a squeeze container holder that is placed over a squeeze container so that the squeeze container always has independence and maintains its aesthetic appearance.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, thermoplastic squeeze containers have been widely used as containers for mayonnaise, ketchup, and the like.

Further, as a case for storing and holding this type of squeeze container in an upright state or an inverted state, the case described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-2763 is known.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In general, this type of squeeze container has the disadvantage that as the amount of contents decreases, the deformation progresses, and eventually the container loses its independence and its aesthetic appearance is significantly impaired. .

Therefore, by using the conventionally known case as mentioned above, it is possible to cover the squeeze container so that its beauty is not impaired, and it is also possible to leave the squeeze container freestanding. Since the case is not integrated with the squeeze container during use, it is not only inconvenient to use, but also inconvenient in handling when stored in a refrigerator or the like.

In view of these problems with squeeze containers, the present invention has been developed so that it can be conveniently used as a completely integrated unit by simply placing it over the squeeze container, and it can always stand on its own regardless of the amount of content. It is an object of the present invention to provide a squeeze container holder that can be made attractive, maintain a beautiful appearance, allow easy attachment and detachment of the squeeze container, and have excellent consistency in attachment to the squeeze container. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is comprised of the following technical means for achieving its purpose.

That is, it is made of highly resilient plastic, has an inner surface that follows the outer shape of the squeeze container, has an opening at the upper end from which the mouth end of the squeeze container protrudes, and has a bellows-like shape with many folds at the lower end. This squeeze container holder is characterized in that it is formed with a squeeze container insertion opening which is shaped inwardly and can be expanded and contracted.

[Function] Since the squeeze container holder according to the present invention is configured as described above, when a squeeze container is attached to the squeeze container holder, the squeeze container is inserted from the mouth end into the squeeze container insertion opening. ,
The mouth end is made to protrude from the opening at the upper end, and the squeeze container insertion opening is formed into a bellows shape with many folds, and is formed in a shape that is constricted inward so that it can be expanded and contracted. Therefore, when inserting the squeeze container, the squeeze container insertion opening widens widely to facilitate insertion, and after insertion, the squeeze container insertion opening contracts and comes into close contact with the squeeze container. Further, when in use, the contents can be pushed out by simply pressing the surface of the squeeze container holder to apply pressure, and when the pressure is released, it can quickly return to its original shape. Furthermore, when the squeeze container is removed, the squeeze container insertion port opens wide, so the operation is easy.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a squeeze container containing mayonnaise, etc., and 2 is a squeeze container holder that is highly resilient and self-supporting and is placed over the squeeze container 1.
The squeeze container 1 has an inner surface shape that follows the outer surface shape in the expanded state, and an opening 4 from which the mouth end 3 of the squeeze container 1 protrudes is formed at the upper end, and a squeeze container insertion opening 5 is formed at the lower end. There is. As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the squeeze container insertion opening 5 is formed by forming the lower end circumferential surface 6 of the squeeze container holder 2 into a bellows shape having a large number of pleats, and squeezing it inward. Its shape allows it to be expanded and contracted freely. The squeeze container insertion opening 5 is designed to maintain an appropriate degree of opening even in the contracted state in order to stabilize the independence of the squeeze container holder 2. As shown in the figure, the squeeze container 1 is not cylindrical but has a slightly flat cylindrical shape, but since the squeeze container insertion opening 5 can be expanded and contracted freely, it can be easily attached and detached.

Squeeze container holder 2 configured as above
When inserting the squeeze container 1 filled with mayonnaise or the like, the squeeze container 1 is inserted from its mouth end 3 by expanding the squeeze container insertion opening 5 which can be expanded and contracted (see Fig. 3). ), when the mouth end 3 is made to protrude from the opening 4 at the upper end, the squeeze container insertion opening 5 contracts (FIGS. 1 and 2), and the squeeze container 1 is stored and held in the holder 2. be done. The squeeze container insertion port 5 is formed into a bellows shape having a large number of pleats, and is formed to be able to expand and contract inwardly, so that when the squeeze container 1 is inserted, the squeeze container insertion port 5 The squeeze container insertion opening 5 expands widely to facilitate its insertion, and after insertion, the squeeze container insertion opening 5 contracts and comes into close contact with the squeeze container 1. Also, when the squeeze container 1 is removed, the squeeze container insertion port 5 opens wide, so the operation is easy. The squeeze container holder 2 can be used repeatedly.

As described above, in order to push out the contents such as mayonnaise from the squeeze container 1 to which the squeeze container holder 2 is attached, the cap on the mouth end 3 is removed and the surface of the squeeze container holder 2 is pressed to apply pressure.
Even if the content in the squeeze container 1 decreases and becomes flat and loses its independence, the squeeze container 1 is always in an independent state because the squeeze container holder 2, which is highly resilient, is housed therein. is maintained and the aesthetic appearance is not impaired. In addition, as mentioned above, the squeeze container holder 2 becomes completely integrated with the squeeze container 1 by simply placing it over the squeeze container 1, so it is convenient not only for use but also for handling when storing it in a refrigerator, etc. It is.

As shown in the figure, the squeeze container 1 is generally not cylindrical but rather has a slightly flat tube shape, but since the squeeze container insertion opening 5 can be expanded and contracted freely, it can be easily attached and detached.
