Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention is a resin molded product that is mainly produced by vacuum forming thin-walled resin, and contains approximately 6 to 12 quail eggs. To provide a container for quail eggs in which a plurality of quail eggs are housed and held at a distance from each other so that the eggs do not collide with each other and are damaged even if they are handled roughly.

<Prior Art> As shown in FIG. 5, this type of general conventional container has container bodies 02 that can be opened and closed with each other so as to form an egg storage space that roughly follows the outer shape of the quail egg.
Two rows of recesses 01 and 04 of equal or substantially equal depth were formed in two rows in close contact with each other at opposite locations of the lid body 03.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In such conventional containers, the entire container has many irregularities, and there are almost no flat surfaces on the outer surface.

As a result, it is not possible to reliably and stably affix labels displaying contents, producers, etc. in a flat, visually easy-to-read form without peeling.
Moreover, by having automatic machines such as registers read information such as the price of eggs, the date of production, and the size and weight of eggs at the distribution stage, price calculations can be automated and labor savings can be achieved. A code for reading required information such as a bar code that is intended to be read is attached to an uneven surface, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to attach the code in a manner that allows automatic reading to be performed reliably and accurately.

<Means for solving the problem> In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention provides the above-mentioned labels and codes in a manner that allows them to be reliably and accurately read while ensuring that the original egg protection function is fully achieved. To achieve this objective, the quail egg container according to the present invention has a container body in which a plurality of egg storage recesses for storing quail eggs are formed in two rows. and a lid integrally connected to the container body via a bending fulcrum at one side in the longitudinal direction, the container body having eggs in the container body. Column-shaped protrusions projecting upward from the periphery of the container body are connected to the meeting points of the partition walls between each of the storage recesses, and the lid body has a columnar protrusion that projects upwardly from the periphery of the container body, and the lid body is provided with a columnar protrusion that projects upward from the periphery of the container body. Of these, a depressed portion facing toward the container body is formed in a substantially central portion facing the egg containing concave portion, excluding the egg containing concave portion located on at least one end side in the row direction, and an outer peripheral portion of the depressed portion is formed into a flat surface. A small arcuate recess, which is semicircular in plan view and partially fits into the upper protrusion of the quail egg, is formed on both sides of the depressed portion, and this depressed portion A fitting recess is formed at a location facing the columnar protrusion on the container body side to fit and abut the columnar protrusion when the lid is in the closed position, and the outer surface of the top thereof is formed on the outer surface of the flat surface. It is characterized by its structure that it is formed on a flat surface with the same height as the .

<Function> The container for quail eggs according to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration is configured such that the lid body is closed with quail eggs stored in each of the egg storage recesses of the container body, and both are bonded together by heat welding means or stapler. By sealing and fixing the quail eggs with a means, a small arc-shaped recess formed on the lid body fits into the portion of the quail eggs that protrudes upward from the container body, and the posture and position of each quail egg is regulated. reach. Then, by attaching a label and a necessary information reading code to the flat surface of the lid side so as to cover the recessed part, the content, producer, etc. can be clearly displayed visually, and the code part can be used for example. By sliding it along a generally flat reading surface of an automatic reader, such as a register, the code can be accurately read.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below in detail based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 2 denotes a container body made of transparent thin resin, and has two rows of egg storage recesses 1 each having five egg storage recesses 1 of a size that can fit and accommodate most of the quail eggs e. (6 or more or 4 eggs may be used.) A total of 10 eggs are formed, and at the meeting point of the partition walls 9 located between adjacent egg storage recesses 1,
A substantially quadrangular pyramid-shaped columnar protrusion 10 that protrudes upward from the peripheral edge 2E of the container body 2 is integrally provided. 3 is a transparent thin-walled resin lid like the container body 2, and is integrally connected to the container body 2 via a bending fulcrum 11 on one side in the longitudinal direction so as to be able to swing open and close. At the same time, the entire portion other than the peripheral edge 3E that is in close contact with the peripheral edge 2E of the container body 2 is bulged upward. A depressed portion 5 having a shape substantially similar to the outer shape of the lid 3 and having the same height as the peripheral edge portion 3E is integrally formed in a substantially central portion of the lid 3. Egg storage recess 1 located on one end side in the row direction of two rows of egg storage recesses 1 on the side of the container body 2
A small arc-shaped recess 4, which is semicircular in plan view and partially fits into the upper protrusion of the quail egg e, is formed at a location facing each of the egg storage recesses 1 except for the container body 2. A substantially quadrangular pyramid-shaped fitting recess 12 with a flat top outer surface, into which the columnar protrusion 10 is fitted and abutted in the closed position, is formed at a location facing the columnar protrusion 10 on the side. In addition to the depressed portion 5, an annular rectangular flat surface 8 is formed around the depressed portion 5 to form the quadrangular pyramid-shaped recessed portion 1.
A paper-like body 13 is formed at the same height as the flat outer surface of 2, and a paper-like body 13 on which a code 6 for reading the required information is printed is located on the flat surface 8 at a location directly above the aforementioned concave portion 1a.
is affixed thereto, and a label 7 is affixed to the other flat surface 8 and the surface of the quadrangular pyramid-shaped recess 12 in such a manner that it crosses the recessed portion 5. In addition, 1 in the figure
Reference numeral 4 denotes a cutting string welded along the inner surface of the bending fulcrum 11, which is used to attach the container body 2 and the lid 3 when they are closed at their peripheral edges 2E and 3E by heat sealing means or the like. Used to cut out 2 and 3. In addition, 15 is the container body 2 and the lid body 3.
It is an air hole that is formed when it is closed by having stepped portions formed on a portion of the peripheral edges 2E and 3E.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be listed.
The reference numeral 6 may be magnetically recorded on a magnetic tape or printed directly on the flat surface 8.

<Effects of the invention> As is clear from the detailed explanation above, in the present invention, most of the egg storage recesses for storing quail eggs without collision etc. are formed on the container body 2 side, and the egg storage recesses are formed on the lid body 3 side. By forming small arcuate recesses 4 on both sides of the depressed portion 5, the lid body 3 is flat as a whole and sufficiently large, while ensuring that the quail egg protection function inherent to the container is fully achieved. A flat surface 8 can be formed, and a fitting recess 12 supported by a columnar projection 10 formed on the side of the container body 2 is formed in the depressed portion 5.
The top surface of this fitting recess 12 is flat and formed at the same height as the flat surface 8. Therefore, when applying the label 7 to the container, the label 7 is flattened by the flat surface 8 around the recess 5 and the flat top surface of the fitting recess 12 in the recess 5. Moreover, it is possible to affix the label reliably and firmly to prevent accidental peeling, and not only can the visual display performance of the label 7 be significantly improved compared to the conventional case, but the required information reading code 6 can also be flattened. This has achieved practical effects such as being able to paste the stickers in such a way that there is no error in reading them by automatic machines. Furthermore, since the fitting recess 12 formed in the depressed portion 5 fits and contacts the columnar protrusion 10 formed in the container body 2, the container body 2 and the lid are in contact with each other when the lid is closed. 3 can be reliably and easily mated, the mating recess 12 can be prevented from sinking easily due to external force, and the label 7 can be used with less peeling. It also has the following.
