Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging container for cakes, confectionery, gifts and the like, which has a built-in electronic sounding device for sounding a familiar melody or a desired message.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are some cards, such as Christmas cards and congratulatory cards, which produce a melody similar to a music box when a two-fold card letter is opened. In this melody pronunciation card, a very thin electronic melody generator (commonly called an electronic music box) is embedded in the thickness of one of the two folded cards, and when the folded card is opened, The melody is generated by detecting that the card has been opened by a photoelectric switch or a mechanical switch.

[0003]

In the conventional melody pronunciation card, the electronic melody generator has the electronic melody generator irremovably embedded in the thickness of the card, and the melody tune generated by the electronic melody generator is the electronic melody generator. Since it is unique to each, in order to allow the user to select one of his or her favorite songs from a large number of songs, it is necessary to prepare as many card types as there are songs that can be selected.

Also, a card with an electronic melody generator or the like is an item that is likely to be stored as a souvenir for memories, and has good storage stability in the form of a letter card, but other volumes. If the electronic melody generator is permanently embedded in a large packaging container, etc., the container itself becomes a souvenir that needs to be stored. It's hard to save the thoughts you put in a song as a memorial to your memories at that time, for example, on a birthday or entrance to school.

Furthermore, as the integration density of semiconductor integrated circuits has increased in recent years, it has become possible to increase the memory capacity of an electronic melody generator. As a result, in addition to simple melodies, relatively long messages can be pronounced. Is now possible.

When the electronic sounding body that pronounces the above-mentioned message is provided in the gift packaging container, the sounding source may be prepared by the sender, and the sounding source may be incorporated in advance when the packaging container is manufactured. Is impossible.

Therefore, in order to install an electronic sounding device such as a melody generator in a gift packaging container, the electronic sounding device can be easily assembled just before the use of the packaging container for selecting a song and recording a message. It is desirable to attach the electronic sounding device, and the packaging container with the electronic sounding device can conceal the existence of the electronic sounding device with good appearance and sense the opening and closing of the lid when the sound is desired, that is, when the lid is opened. Therefore, it is necessary to surely start the sounding operation.

Further, the gift packaging container used for birthdays and celebrations and incorporating a device for generating a melody or a message is close to raw food such as cakes and confectionery, and can be taken out of the container and eat as it is. Food is often stored. The handling of such food packaging containers must be hygienic.

Furthermore, when the container is discarded after being used as a packaging container, it is desirable that the electronic sounding device assembled in the container can be taken out and reused without breaking.

In view of the above problems, the present invention makes it possible to easily and hygienically mount an electronic sounding device immediately before packaging, and
From the container used for gifts, etc., disassemble the container and remove the electronic sounding device at the same time to enhance the storability as a souvenir, and attach the removed electronic sounding device to another container and re-install. The purpose is to provide a usable packaging container with an electronic sounding device.

A sounding element that generates
An electronic sounder comprising a power supply element for supplying power to the electronic voice reproduction integrated circuit element and a photodetection element for activating the reproduction operation of the electronic voice reproduction integrated circuit element, which is provided on one of four sides The folding box type packaging container having a double-walled structure has a double-walled translucent window for allowing the light detection element of the electronic sounder to sense the ambient brightness when the lid of the packaging container is opened. The above-mentioned problem is solved by providing the electronic sounding device in the inner wall of the double wall, the light detecting element being brought close to the light transmitting window, and being removably attached via a required adhesive member. It

[0012]

In the packaging container of the present invention, the electronic sounding device is attached to the inside of the double wall of the folding box via the required attaching member immediately before the use of the container, so that it is easy to select a song or a message. Yes,
Moreover, a transparent window for detecting the opening / closing of the lid is provided inconspicuously on the inner wall of the double wall, and the presence of the electronic sounding device is hidden in the double wall near the transparent window. Therefore, the appearance as a packaging container is good and it is hygienic.
