Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a packaging device with a handle suitable for use when selling spherical fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, other melons, and pumpkins.

[Conventional technology] Normally, spherical fruits and vegetables such as watermelon are traded in the harvested spherical state, but one piece is too large and expensive, and it is difficult to tell the ripeness of the contents from the outside. For reasons such as the difficulty of eating, it is sold at the retail stage by dividing it in half or into 4 to 10 pieces.

By the way, when watermelon is sold cut, the cut surface of the watermelon is covered with a polyethylene film (wrap) and displayed at the store for hygiene reasons or to prevent it from drying out. The cut surface of a watermelon is often pressed with one's fingers, which causes dents to form on the cut surface and the pulp at the edge-shaped top of the watermelon to crumble, resulting in a decrease in product value. Moreover, when taking the product home, it was necessary to put it in a packaging bag with a handle so that it could be carried around, which had the disadvantage of requiring time and effort to sell it.

Therefore, in order to solve these shortcomings, Jikosho
In No. 62-9262, a roughly circular hard synthetic resin sheet is folded in half from the diameter line position, and each piece on both sides of the sheet is overlapped with the cut surface of a watermelon. At the same time, the part of the hanging string that is being passed between the arcuate edges of each piece is placed at the bottom of the watermelon, and when the watermelon is taken home, the part of the hanging string that is pulled out above the outside of each piece is placed at the bottom of the watermelon. A packaging tool with a handle has been proposed that allows the user to carry the item by holding it as is.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional packaging device mentioned above, when attaching the hanging string that serves as the handle to the synthetic resin sheet,
Since the hanging strings must be inserted through the holes in each part of the sheet, there is a disadvantage that attaching the hanging strings is time-consuming and increases the cost of the packaging device.

Moreover, the hanging string is attached by passing it between the arcuate edges of each part of the sheet, so when wrapping watermelon, it is necessary to connect the sheet folded in half from the side and the arcuate edges of each part. It is necessary to insert the watermelon between the hanging string that is being passed, which also has the disadvantage that it cannot be wrapped quickly.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and by integrally forming the packaging body and the handle, it is possible to obtain a packaging implement with a handle at a low cost. A packaging tool with a handle that can be folded in half from the diametrical line of a sheet and overlap each piece on both sides from above onto the cut surface of watermelons so that the cut surface can be covered and the packaging can be carried out quickly. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for solving problems]

In other words, in order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention
The diameter line position of the approximately circular synthetic resin sheet is used as the fold line for folding in half, and each piece on both sides is used as a covering piece for the cut surface of the watermelon.
A packaging main body having watermelon bottom support pieces protruding from the arc-shaped edges of each piece of the sheet in the direction of the back surface of the piece, each having a handle portion on the outside along the outer periphery of each of the support pieces. A piece is arranged, both ends of which are connected to the packaging main body at the diametrical line position of the sheet, and parts other than both ends are separated from the packaging main body, and the separated parts are made to stand up. The handle serves as a handle for the packaging body.

[Effect]

With the above structure, when packaging, the sheet is folded in half from the diameter line position, and each piece on both sides is overlapped from above on the cut surface of the watermelon, and the arcuate edges of each piece are folded in half. The support piece is positioned at the bottom of the watermelon, and the separated portions of the handle pieces on both sides from the packaging body are respectively erected to serve as handles. By wrapping it in this way, the cut surface of the watermelon is covered with each piece on both sides of the sheet, so the cut surface can be kept clean, and when it is carried by the handle, both sides are supported. Since the bottom part of the watermelon is supported by the piece, even a considerably heavy watermelon can be carried as it is.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. A is the packaging main body, with the diameter line D of the roughly circular hard colorless or colored transparent synthetic resin sheet 1 being the crease line for folding in half, and the pieces 1' and 1' on both sides thereof being folded in half. In addition to serving as a cover piece for the cut surface of the watermelon S, bottom support pieces 2, 2 of the watermelon S are provided on the arcuate edges of each piece 1', 1' of the sheet 1, protruding toward the back surface of the piece. . The protruding length of each support piece 2, 2 from the arcuate edge is formed so that it gradually becomes shorter as it approaches the end of the diameter line D position,
When covering the cut surface of the watermelon S with each piece 1', 1', the tips of the supporting pieces 2, 2 are prevented from coming into contact with each other at the bottom of the watermelon S. 3, 3 is the support piece 2,
A predetermined width of the supporting pieces 2, 2 is formed by protruding the supporting pieces 2, 2 toward the back side using reinforcing protrusions provided on the supporting pieces 2. Reference numerals 4 and 4 designate handle pieces disposed outwardly along the outer periphery of the support pieces 2, 2, and both ends thereof are attached to the packaging main body A, that is, the sheet 1 and the support pieces 2, 2 at the diameter line D position of the sheet 1. 2, and the parts other than both ends are provided separately from the packaging main body A, and the separated part becomes a handle B for the packaging main body A by standing up.
Each of the handle pieces 4, 4 has a strong yet easy-to-grip structure by forming a curved bulge on the surface side from the middle part that becomes the gripping part to the vicinity of both ends. I'm trying to make it happen. And on the outer peripheral edge near both ends of each handle piece 4, 4,
An engagement recess 5a of a pair of engagement tools is provided on one handle piece 4 side, and an engagement protrusion 5b is provided on the other handle piece 4 side by respectively protruding. By fitting these together, both handle pieces 4, 4 can be joined together. In addition, at the boundary between the connection part with the packaging main body A and the separation part at both ends of each handle piece 4, 4, a certain width is formed with a raised semicircular cross section on the back side. The hinge portions 6, 6 are provided so that bending from the boundary portion can be easily performed when standing up.

Reference numerals 7 and 7 indicate bulges provided on each piece 1', 1' of the sheet 1, which is formed by raising the sheet 1 toward the surface side at a certain width on both sides that are in contact with each other through the diameter line D. ing. Reference numeral 8 denotes a narrow convex portion formed by further protruding the position of the diameter line D, which is the boundary between the bulging portions 7, 7, toward the surface side so as to have a semicircular cross section. The ratio of the width dimension of each bulging part 7, 7 and convex part 8 to the size of the seat position is
For example, if the sheet 1 is slightly oval and has dimensions in the direction of the diameter line D, that is, the diameter dimension is about 270 mm and the short axis dimension is about 240 mm, the bulges 7, 7 It is preferable to set each of them to about 15 mm, and the convex portion 8 to about 10 mm.

9, 9 are reinforcing protrusions provided along the arcuate edges of each piece 1', 1' by raising the sheet 1 near the edges toward the surface side. This prevents the arcuate edges of each piece 1', 1' from curling back when covering the cut surface of the watermelon S. 10 is the diameter line D
This is a perforation cut along the diameter line D to make it easier to bend from one position to another.

In manufacturing the above-mentioned packaging device, the sheet material is molded to form the packaging device main body A and the handle pieces 4 on both sides that will become the handle B into one piece, and then the handles are assembled. It is manufactured by cutting off the parts 4, 4 excluding both ends from the tips of the supporting pieces 2, 2 (FIGS. 1 and 2).

To package cut watermelon using the above packaging tools,
The sheet 1 is folded in half from the diameter line D position of the convex portion 5, and the pieces 1', 1' on both sides are superimposed on the cut surface of the watermelon S from above, and the supporting pieces 2, 2 on both sides are folded. is placed at the bottom of the watermelon S. In this case, each of the supporting pieces 2, 2 is further fixed to the bottom of the watermelon S using a separately prepared adhesive tape T or the like to prevent the supporting pieces 2, 2 from coming off the bottom of the watermelon S. Thereafter, the handle pieces 4, 4 on both sides are bent from the hinge parts 6, 6 to stand up, and the engagement protrusion 5b is fitted into the engagement recess 5a, so that both the handle pieces 4, 4 are bent. Join them together to form handle B. By wrapping it in this way, the cut surface of the watermelon S is covered with the pieces 1' and 1' on both sides of the sheet, so that the cut surface can be kept clean and the handle B can be gripped. When it is hung, the bottom of the watermelon S is supported by the supporting pieces 2 on both sides, so even a fairly heavy piece of watermelon can be carried as it is (Figure 4).

When packaged as described above, the sheet 1 is placed on the convex portion 8 and the bulging portions 7, 7 on both sides of the convex portion 8.
Since there is a gap K between the back side and the cut surface of the watermelon S, even if you press the diameter line D position of the folded sheet 1 with your finger, the force will be transmitted to the edge-shaped top of the watermelon S through the sheet 1. There is no danger, and therefore the edge-shaped top of the watermelon, which tends to crumble, can be more reliably protected.

When packaging as described above, it is of course necessary to use a packaging tool that is suitable for the size of the watermelon to be divided. This method can be applied to watermelon sold by cutting in half or further divided into an appropriate number of pieces. Therefore, by preparing several types of packaging tools with sheet portions of different sizes, it is possible to handle most types of watermelon sold by the piece.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has a handle piece arranged outwardly along the outer periphery of each support piece of the packaging body, and both ends of which are connected to the packaging body at the diametrical position of the sheet. In addition, the parts other than both ends are separated from the packaging main body, and the separated parts are made to stand up to serve as a handle for the packaging main body, so that the packaging main body and the handle can be separated. An integrated product can be obtained, and a packaging device with a handle can be provided at a low cost.

When packaging, all you have to do is fold the sheet in half from the diameter line, overlap each piece on both sides from above onto the cut surface of the watermelon, and position the supporting pieces on both sides at the bottom of the watermelon. Packaging can be done quickly.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a packaging device with a handle at a low cost, which allows packaging to be carried out quickly and allows even heavy watermelons to be carried as they are.
