Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The invention is mainly used for taking home frozen foods such as meat, seafood, and other goods, or for carrying souvenirs from travel destinations for long periods of time. The invention relates to hanging containers.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, containers made of synthetic resin foam that are lightweight and have good heat insulation properties have been suitably used as hanging containers used for take-out purposes, etc., and usually the upper end of the side wall of the container body Generally, a flange-like protrusion is formed on the outer surface, a string insertion hole is formed in this protrusion, and a hanging string such as a rope for carrying the container is inserted through the hole (for example, in actual use). Publication No. 58-54394 and Publication No. 22835 of Sho 61).

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, the above-mentioned conventional hanging container utilizes a flange-like protrusion from the outer surface of the container to attach hanging strings forming handles on both sides. Therefore, two strings are required, which not only complicates the manufacturing and handling work, but also has an extra protrusion on the outer surface of the container for attaching the hanging string, making it difficult to connect multiple containers. When juxtaposed,
The protrusions of adjacent containers abut each other, creating a gap between the outer surfaces of the containers, resulting in poor storage and transportation efficiency for a large number of containers.

In addition, in the case where the hanging string is inserted through and engaged with the flange-like protrusion as described above, when the container is hung, the entire load of the stored items is concentrated on the protrusion. There was a problem in maintaining the strength, and there was a risk that the protruding parts would be damaged in the case of heavy objects.

In view of the above, the present invention has been developed to provide a hanging container that can attach hanging strings that form handles to both sides of the container without providing any extra protrusions on the outer surface of the container, and that also has excellent hanging strength. This is what we are trying to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the container of the present invention, one hanging string that goes around the bottom of the container is connected vertically inside the thick walls of the opposing side walls. It was decided that it would be inserted through the.

That is, the present invention provides a container consisting of a container main body and a lid formed of a synthetic resin foam or a synthetic resin foam as a main material. A pair of string passing holes are formed, and a continuous hanging string is inserted from above into the pair of string passing holes in the one side wall portion so as to form a hanging hand portion above, The string is inserted from below through the bottom through a pair of string holes in the other side wall and pulled out above the side wall, and both ends of the string are connected to form a hanging handle, and the string is inserted through the bottom of the lid. A string insertion portion is formed at a position corresponding to the string insertion hole in the container body, and the string insertion portion on at least one side has a cutout opening on the side, and the hanging handle of the hanging string can be inserted through the string insertion hole. It is characterized by being inserted through the section.

[Function] According to the above-mentioned hanging container of the present invention, a ring-shaped hanging portion is formed above both sides of the container by one hanging string, and the hanging strings are arranged in opposite directions. Since the container vertically penetrates through the thick inside of the side wall and continues around the bottom, when it is suspended, the entire container, that is, the load of the stored items, cannot be supported from the bottom by the hanging string. Also, at this time, the force due to the load acting on the hanging string is received at the lower end of the side wall portion, so that sufficient hanging strength can be maintained.

Moreover, as mentioned above, since the hanging string is inserted vertically through the thick inside of the side wall, there is no need to provide an extra protrusion on the outer surface of the container for the string to pass through. If the containers do not have a section, they can be juxtaposed with the outer surfaces of adjacent containers touching each other.

In addition, since the string insertion part on at least one side of the lid has a notch opening on the side, it is easy to insert the hanging string into this string insertion part, and the inserted hanging string can be pulled out laterally. By removing the lid, the lid can be easily opened and closed, and the opening of the container body can be opened wide.

[Example] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a container main body having a substantially rectangular plan view, and 20 a lid that can be fitted onto the container main body 1, both of which are made of synthetic resin foam. In the case of the figure, the lid body 20 has a structure in which a projecting edge 11 is provided on the inside of the upper end of the side wall of the container body 10, and a recess 21 that fits into the projecting edge 11 is provided at the periphery of the lid body 20. It is being

A pair of string passing holes 13a, 13a and 13b, 13b are formed in one opposing side wall portion 12a and 12b of the container body 10, respectively, passing through the wall thickness in the vertical direction at a required interval. They are provided at corresponding positions. In the illustrated embodiment, the string passing holes 13a, 13a, 1
In order to maintain the strength of the portions 3b and 13b, thick portions 14a and 14b protruding inwardly are formed at two locations on each side wall portions 12a and 12b, respectively, and string through holes 13a, 14a, 13b are formed. , 14b are formed on the thick portions 12a, 12a. In addition to forming a partial thick portion as described above, the entire side wall portions 12a and 12b may have a thickness corresponding to the thick portion. Of course, if the entire circumference of the side wall is formed to have a thickness sufficient to form the string passing hole, it is not necessary to form the thick portion as described above.

30 is a hanging string made of one rope or the like connected to one string, and this hanging string 3
0 has its both ends inserted into the pair of string passing holes 13a, 13a in the one side wall 12a, and the side wall 1
It is inserted from above so as to form a ring-shaped hanging part 31a above 2a, and by turning the bottom part 15, it is inserted from below into the pair of string passing holes 13b, 13b in the other side wall part 12b. 1
2 is pulled out upward, and both ends of the pulled out string are connected to form a hanger part 31b above this side wall part 12b. This hanging string 30
In the insertion operation, the hanging string 30 is inserted into one string passing hole 1 of the side wall portion 12b from one end thereof.
3b from above, turn the bottom part 15, insert it upward through one of the string passing holes 13a of the side wall part 12a, and then insert it from above into the other string passing hole 13a of this side wall part 12a. It is also possible to connect both ends of the string by turning it and inserting it upward through the other string passing hole 13b of the side wall portion 12b. In addition to tying the end portions of the string together as shown in the figure, other string binding devices may also be used.

Reference numerals 16 and 16 denote string fitting grooves formed between opposing string passing holes of both side walls 12a and 12b on the lower surface of the bottom portion 15, into which the hanging string 30 that is passed around the bottom portion 15 as described above is fitted. This allows for better stability when stacking containers or placing them on the floor.

Further, both side portions 22a and 2 of the lid body 20 correspond to both side wall portions 12a and 12b of the container body 10.
2b has the string passing holes 13a, 13a, 13
Cord insertion portions 23a and 23 are provided at positions corresponding to b and 13b.
a, 23b, 23b are formed, and both hanging handle portions 31a, 31b of the above-mentioned hanging string 30 are inserted into the string insertion portions 23a, 23a, 23b, 23b. These string insertion parts 23a, 23a, 23b, 2
3b has a notch opening 24 laterally extending from the insertion hole as shown in the figure. Therefore, in the state where the hanging string 30 is inserted into the container body 10 as described above, each string insertion portion 23a, 23a, 23 of the lid body 20
b, 23b, the hanging handle part 31a of the hanging string 30,

It is convenient because it can be attached and detached. In particular, if the notch opening 24 is formed in a tapered shape as shown in the figure, which is slightly narrower than the diameter of the insertion hole on the inner back side and wider on the outer side,
The string can be easily inserted, and once inserted, the string does not come out of the container, making it suitable for use.

In FIG. 6, as the string insertion portion of the lid body 20, string insertion portions 23a, 23a of one side portion 22a are shown.
into the through hole, and the string insertion part 23 of the other side part 22b.
b, 23b are formed with cutouts on the sides in the same way as above. Both sides 22a, 22
If both string insertion parts b are made into through holes,
When the lid body 20 is removed from the container body 10, the hanging string 30 crosses the opening of the container body 10, impeding the storage and removal of stored items. It is preferable to form the cord insertion part with a notch opening on the side.

The constituent materials of the container body 10 and the lid 20 include styrene resin foams such as polystyrene resin and copolymers mainly composed of styrene, olefin resin foams such as polyethylene resins and polypropylene resins, and polyvinyl chloride. Foams of various synthetic resins such as resins can be used, and these synthetic resin foams may be provided with a reinforcing skin layer such as a non-foamed resin film on the surface. Furthermore, it is also possible to use the above-mentioned foam as a main material and cover one or both of the inner and outer surfaces with an exterior body made of a non-foamed synthetic resin molding.

Further, the shape of the container is not limited to the substantially rectangular shape shown in the figure, but may be other polygonal shapes, elliptical shapes, circular shapes, etc., for example.

In addition, the hanging string 30 may be a rope-like string made by twisting synthetic resin films, other rope-like strings, or a simple tape-like string or a string made of synthetic or natural fibers. Usable.

When the container configured as described above stores frozen food such as meat and is covered with the lid 20, the two hanging handles 31 are connected to the hanging string 30.
A and 31b are used to suspend and carry the container. At this time, since the hanging strings 30 forming both the hanging handles 31a and 31b are continuous around the bottom 15, the entire load of the stored items in the container is supported from the bottom by the hanging strings 30. In addition, the force acting on the hanging string 30 is received by the lower end portions of the side wall portions 12a, 12b.
Therefore, it has sufficient hanging strength, and there is no risk of damage even when storing fairly heavy items.

Furthermore, since there is no extra protrusion on the outer surface of the container for the insertion of a string, adjacent containers can be placed side by side with their outer surfaces in contact with each other.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, with the hanging container of the present invention, the hanging strings that form the hanging handles on both sides of the container penetrate through the thickness of the side wall and continue around the bottom, so that the entire load of the items stored in the container can be supported from the bottom. In addition, the force acting on the hanging strings can be received by the lower end of the side wall, so that sufficient hanging strength can be maintained. Therefore, even when relatively heavy items are stored, there is no risk of the bottom falling out or the open end being damaged.

In addition, by inserting the hanging string through the thick inside of the side wall, the container can be made without an extra protrusion on the outer surface of the container for the insertion of the string, so the outer surfaces of adjacent containers can be connected. A plurality of containers can be placed side by side in a state in which the storage and transportation efficiency thereof can be increased.

Furthermore, since two hanging parts can be formed by one hanging string, the handling work during production is also easy.

In particular, since the string insertion part on at least one side of the lid body has a notch opening on the side, it is easy to insert the hanging string into the string insertion part. Moreover, by removing the inserted hanging string, the lid can be easily opened and closed, and the hanging string can be opened wide without crossing the opening of the container body, making it easy to store and take out stored items. can also be done easily.
