Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to containers for packaging various liquids that can be filled and shipped with contents such as coffee fresheners and used as pouring containers.

[Prior Art] Various containers of this kind have been developed and provided in the past, but they are easy to fill with contents, and
There has been no satisfactory container that can be used in its original form and is also convenient for storage.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] Taking coffee fresheners used in stores as an example, it is normal to transfer purchased fresheners into multiple pouring containers used in stores. In addition to requiring time and effort to transfer the liquid, it was also necessary to clean the pouring container. Among coffee fresheners mainly for home use, there are those that are sealed and filled with small cup containers;
Even if this was made larger and filled with enough fresh water to meet the amount used in the store, it would not be possible to use it as a pouring container.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to make it convenient for filling and shipping coffee fresheners for stores such as this, so that even users who have purchased coffee can use it as is without having to transfer it to another container. It is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging container which can be used in the form of 1 and which can also be stored in a dust-free state when not in use.

[Means for solving the problem] When the packaging container of this invention is filled with contents, it is placed upside down and filled from the bottom opening, the bottom lid is hermetically sealed to form a product, and when used, it is placed upright. This packaging container has a stackable form suitable for automatic filling operations, and has a stable upper surface so that it can be sent on a conveyor while upside down without having to be returned to the upright position after filling. In addition to having a structure that allows for an inverted state, it also has a spout and opening/closing lid that are convenient for pouring out and storing during use, and also has a handle for pouring, making it convenient and convenient to use as a pouring container. It has external features.

That is, the packaging container having a spout with an opening/closing lid according to this invention includes a container body with an open bottom;
After the contents are filled, the container body is made up of a bottom lid that hermetically seals the bottom opening of the container body. A small-diameter cylindrical upper part with an upper surface horizontal to the ground, a pouring part integrally formed from the shoulder to the side of the cylindrical upper part, and 180 degrees opposite the pouring part with the cylindrical upper part in between. The pouring portion has a handle provided between the shoulder portion and the cylindrical upper portion at the top, and the pouring portion has a spout at the top and an opening/closing lid that closes the pouring spout, and the opening/closing lid is located between the shoulder portion and the cylindrical upper portion. It has a hinge part at the connection part with the side surface of the spout, and has a vertical flange on the back side that fits into the inner diameter of the spout, and the vertical flange and the inner peripheral edge of the spout opening are connected in an easily breakable state. , and a protrusion is formed on the upper surface of the opening/closing lid, the top of which coincides with the horizontal upper surface of the cylindrical upper portion, allowing a stable inverted state of the container body to be obtained.

[Function] When filling the container according to this invention, the container is turned upside down and the contents are filled from the large opening at the bottom, making it easy to fill. In addition, since it is configured to be stackable and to obtain a stable inverted state, it is easily adapted to continuous filling by an automatic filling machine and subsequent feeding process. After shipping, the container can be used as a pouring container with a spout and an opening/closing lid by peeling off the opening/closing lid leaving the hinge part or pushing it to break. Since there is a lid that opens and closes, there is no need to worry about dust getting in during storage.

[Example] Hereinafter, a more detailed explanation will be given according to an example shown in the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the packaging container according to this invention, in which the container body A is opened at the bottom and the contents are filled from the bottom using heating, high frequency, ultrasonic waves, or adhesive. It consists of a bottom cover B that is hermetically sealed by means of, etc. The container body A is integrally formed by injection molding, and any material can be used as long as it is a thermoplastic resin. All you have to do is choose. High-density polyethylene is most suitable for coffee fresheners. Appropriate materials can also be used for the bottom lid B, such as aluminum foil laminated with a resin film that is heat-bonded to the container body A.

The container body A includes a large-diameter cylindrical lower part 1 having a trapezoidal cross section, and a small-diameter cylindrical lower part 1 formed continuously through a shoulder part 2 and having an upper surface horizontal to the ground plane. The upper part 3 has a deformed shape in which one side is cut into a step shape, and a content pouring part 4 and an opening/closing lid 5 are provided from this step part to the shoulder part 2. It has a shape and structure in which the pouring part 4 and the handle part 6 are provided at a position 180 degrees opposite to each other with the upper part 3 in between, but the container body A at these points is
Various modifications of the shape and structure can be adopted. Since the upper surface of the cylindrical upper part 3, which is horizontal to the ground surface, has a relatively small ground contact area, a protrusion 5a is provided on the upper surface of the opening/closing lid 5, and the top of the protrusion 5a is placed horizontally on the cylindrical upper part 3. The upper surface of the container body A is in a stable inverted state.

In addition, as shown in the central vertical cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, ribs 7 are formed on the inner wall of the lower end of the pouring part 4 in order to prevent a tight fit that cannot be easily separated when stacked. Further, a projecting edge 8 is formed on the lower end edge of the upper part 3 so that the tip of the opening/closing lid 5 or the upper surface of the handle part 6 can abut against the rib 7. A small step 3a formed slightly downward from the top surface or a step 5b formed on the protrusion 5a can abut against each other, thereby regulating the depth of engagement. When the step portion 5b of the protrusion 5a abuts against the flange 8, the upper part of the protrusion 5a and the inner wall of the upper part 3 come into contact with each other, and the function of preventing lateral slippage during stacking is also achieved.

Next, the structure of the opening/closing lid 5 and spout 9 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

The opening/closing lid 5 and the spout 9 are provided at the top of the pouring part 4, and the opening/closing lid 5 has a hinge part 10 at the connection part with the side surface of the cylindrical upper part 3, and the remaining entire circumference is made of a thin, easy-to-break part. It is connected to the top of the pouring part 4 in the state,
The opening after breaking this thin-walled connecting portion is defined as a spout 9. Further, the opening/closing lid 5 has a vertical flange 11 on the back surface that fits into the inner diameter of the spout 9, and the vertical flange 11 and the inner peripheral edge 9a of the opening of the spout 9 are connected in an easily breakable state. There is.
Therefore, even after breakage, by fitting the vertical flange 11 into the spout 9, the spout is closed by the top surface of the lid, preventing dust from entering. After breaking, a broken surface appears on the inner peripheral edge 9a of the opening of the spout 9, so that the lid will not be accidentally opened due to the contact with the vertical flange 11.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a flap formed inside the vertical flange 11 on both sides of the back side near the hinge portion 10 of the opening/closing lid, and when the opening/closing lid 5 is opened, the flap 12 is a flap formed on the inside of the opening inner peripheral edge 9a of the spout 9. It has a locking surface 12a that rubs against each other. In this example, the locking surface is in the form of a vertical rib, but the locking surface is not limited to this, and when the lid is open, the locking surface does not easily close automatically due to the contact with the inner peripheral edge 9a of the opening. Good to have. In addition, in this example,
As shown in FIG. 4, both the spout 9 and the vertical flange opening/closing lid 5 have tapered shapes to strengthen the contact between the flap 12 with a locking surface and the inner peripheral edge 9a of the opening when the lid is opened. .

The protrusion 5a has the function of regulating the opening angle of the opening/closing lid 5 by having its top abut against the container body when the opening/closing lid 5 is opened, and also functions as a knob for the opening/closing lid.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a ridge for draining liquid provided at the tip of the spout 9, and has a shape depending on the contents, such as horizontal or downward.

Fig. 9 A, B and Fig. 10 A, B have a structure for maintaining the open state of the lid, and instead of the flap with a locking surface, the flaps can be locked to each other when the opening/closing lid 5 is opened at a predetermined angle. An example is shown in which the locking body 14 is formed on the upper surface of the opening/closing lid 5 and a part of the container body.

In addition, in the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the protrusion 5
The opening degree of the opening/closing lid 5 is controlled by making the top of the opening/closing lid 5 abut against the nearby container body. The opening angle of the lid may be regulated by forming a protrusion that can come into contact with a portion of the lid.

[Effects of the invention] As mentioned above, the packaging container according to this invention has the following effects:
The packaging container has a spout with an opening/closing lid, and has a shape that allows it to be stacked and placed in a stable inverted state, making it easy to handle during filling, shipping, and use, and dust-free when not in use. We were able to provide the best packaging container of its kind, as it could be stored without any liquids entering it.

In addition, it has a handle part and a pouring part, and not only has a neat appearance as a pouring container, but also has a structure suitable for pouring out fluid contents such as coffee freshener through the pouring part. This packaging container is ideal for serving as a container and pouring container.
