Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a packaging container that defines a plurality of storage recesses and stores solid foods such as chocolate and biscuits one by one in each storage recess.

[Prior art]

The tray-shaped conventional chocolate packaging container in which a plurality of storage recesses are defined and wholly integrally molded with plastic has a simple shallow box shape in which the storage recesses have no particular unevenness therein.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

Therefore, there were the following problems. Especially the lower peripheral edge of chocolate is fragile, but in the past, the inner bottom surface of each storage recess was almost flat,
Moreover, since it intersects with the inner wall surface at a substantially right angle, the lower peripheral edge of the chocolate is sandwiched between the inner bottom surface of the storage recess and the inner wall surface, and the lower peripheral edge receives a shock particularly from the bottom of the storage recess, It is often damaged by the impact or the shaking of the container or when the container is taken out from the recessed portion, and the commercial value is lowered. It was troublesome to take out the chocolate from each storage recess by hand. If the whole container is turned upside down, tilted or shaken, there is a problem that the chocolate will drop off from the storage recess very easily. An object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container for storing solid food such as chocolate which solves such a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In the packaging container according to the present invention, a rectangular pedestal portion 10 is integrally formed at the center of the bottom of each storage recess 2 so as to be raised.
Between the walls 10 and the wall parts 5 and 6 at both ends, bottom parts 11 and 12 divided by the pedestal part 10 are left. Then, between the pedestal portion 10 and the wall portions 3 and 4 on both sides, valley portions 13 and 14 recessed from both side edges of the upper surface of the pedestal portion 10 are formed higher than the bottom portions 11 and 12. In addition, above the valleys 13 and 14, the walls 3 and 4 on both sides are provided.
In addition, the retaining projections 15 and 16 that gradually protrude toward the upper side into the storage recess 2 are integrally formed, and chocolate is applied to the upper edge of the wall 5 that partitions the adjacent storage recesses 2 with a finger. The depression 9 for receiving the finger when it is pushed down is formed.

[Action]

The solid food such as chocolate is placed on the raised pedestal 10 at the center of the lower surface and is stored in the storage recess 2. Corresponding to the lower surface portion separated from the pedestal 10 and the valleys 13 and 14 on both sides. The portion to be formed is in a state of floating from the inner bottom surface of the storage recess 2. When taking out this, if one end part which is detached from the pedestal part 10 and floated is pushed down with a finger, the other end part is lifted up because it tilts up and down and the other end part floats up outside the storage recessed part 2. Can be easily taken out from the storage recess 2. In this case, the wall portion 5 that partitions between the adjacent storage recesses 2
Since the finger receiving concave portion 9 is formed in the finger receiving concave portion 9, the finger can be easily pressed against the solid food such as chocolate in the finger receiving concave portion 9. On the inner wall surfaces on both sides of each storage recess 2, there are formed retaining protrusions 15 and 16 which gradually and upwardly protrude into the storage recess 2. By engaging the retaining projections 15 and 16 with each other, the careless withdrawal from the storage recess 2 is prevented. The pedestal portion 10 is raised from the center of the bottom surface of the storage recess 2, and the bottom portions 11 and 12 separated by the pedestal portion 10 remain between the pedestal portion 10 and the wall portions 5 and 6 at both ends. Since the valleys 13 and 14 are formed so as to be recessed from both side edges of the upper surface, the entire circumference of the lower peripheral edge of the fixed food such as chocolate does not come into contact with any of the storage recesses 2. Therefore, it is possible to protect the lower peripheral edge of solid food such as chocolate, which is particularly fragile, over the entire circumference thereof. In each storage recess 2, the wall portions 3 and 4 provided with the retaining protrusions 15 and 16 are reinforced by the retaining protrusions 15 and 16.
Further, the wall portion 5 in which the finger receiving concave portion 9 is formed is made of plastic more than in the case where the upper edge of the wall portion 5 is simply straightened without forming the concave portion 9 because of the curved peripheral edge of the concave portion 9. Due to the molding, the strength is rather stronger. Further, the valleys 13 and 14 are recessed from both side edges of the upper surface of the pedestal 10, but the bottom 11 left between the pedestal 10 and the walls 5 and 6 at both ends.
・ Because it is higher than 12, wall part 3 with retaining projections 15 ・ 16
・ The strength between the 4 and the pedestal 10 is rather increased by the valleys 13 and 14.

【Example】

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the packaging container of this embodiment is
The plastic is integrally molded into a rectangular thin-walled tray shape, and a plurality of (nine in the figure) substantially rectangular storage recesses 2 are formed in a lattice shape inside the projecting edge 1 continuous to the entire peripheral edge thereof. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, each of the storage recesses 2 has a thin long wall portion 3 and a thin wall portion 5 and a short wall portion 5 and 6 respectively. The portions 3 and 4 are opposed to each other with a constant space therebetween and are integrally continuous at their upper edges 7, and the short wall portions 5 and 6 of each other are connected.
Also have a constant interval and are opposed to each other and integrally continuous at the upper edge 8 thereof, and a finger receiving arcuate concave portion 9 is formed at the center of the upper edge 8. In each storage recess 2, the long wall portions 3 and 4 on both sides and the short wall portions 5 and 6 on both ends are slightly inclined so that the width of the storage recess 2 is gradually narrowed downward. In each storage recess 2, a rectangular pedestal portion 10 is formed as a thin wall at the center of its thin bottom portion. Between the pedestal portion 10 and the short wall portions 5 and 6 on both ends, the bottom portions 11 and 12 separated by the pedestal portion 10 remain, but between the pedestal portion 10 and the long wall portions 3 and 4 on both sides. In the upper part of the pedestal part 10, valley parts 13 and 14 which are recessed in an arc shape from both side edges are formed higher than the bottom parts 11 and 12. Further, the long wall portions 3 and 4 on both sides are provided with, for example, three retaining protrusions 15 and 16 above the valley portions 13 and 14, respectively. Fallout projection 15
The projecting surface of 16 is slightly inclined so as to gradually project toward the upper side into the storage recess 2. In such a configuration, when the same rectangular rectangle, for example, chocolate 17 is stored in each storage recess 2 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the chocolate 17 has a pedestal only in the center of the lower surface in each storage recess 2. The other lower surface part placed on the part 10 and protruding from the pedestal part 10, that is, the part corresponding to the bottom parts 11 and 12 on both sides of the storage recess 2 and the valley parts on both sides
The portions corresponding to 13 and 14 and the lower peripheral edge 18 are in a state of floating from the inner bottom surface of the storage recess 2. Therefore, since the lower peripheral edge 18 of the chocolate 17 is separated from the inner bottom surface of the storage recess 2 and is not sandwiched between this inner bottom surface and the inner wall surface of the storage recess 2, the damage is reduced. Moreover, since the retaining projections 15 and 16 of the long wall portions 3 and 4 on both sides incline and project as described above, the chocolate 17 has both side surfaces engaged with these retaining projections 15 and 16. And careless removal is prevented. In order to take out the chocolate 17 from the storage recess 2, as shown in FIG. 4, one end of the storage recess 2 is pressed with a finger, and the bottoms 11 and 12 on both sides of the storage recess 2 are lower than the pedestal 10. One end of the pressed chocolate 17 is lowered and inclined upward and downward, and the other end thereof is raised above the outside of the storage recess 2, so that the other end can be easily taken out.
In this case, since the arcuate recess 9 is formed between the adjacent storage recesses 2, it is possible to easily put a finger on the chocolate 17 in the arcuate recess 9. The retaining projections 15 and 16 of the long wall portions 3 and 4 on both sides are inclined as described above to prevent the chocolate 17 from retaining, but when setting the chocolate 17 in the storage recess 2, In FIG. 3, one of the long sides of the lower peripheral edge 18 is made to fall into one of the valleys 13 or 14 by inclining to the left and right, and then the other long side of the lower peripheral edge 18 is provided on the opposite side. By sliding it downward along the line 16, the lower peripheral edge 18 can be smoothly stored in the storage recess 2 without being damaged. Note that the retaining protrusions 15 and 16 on both sides may not be divided into three, but may be one continuous one.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the packaging container of the present invention has the following effects. The solid food such as chocolate is stored in the storage recess by placing the center of the bottom surface on the pedestal that rises from the bottom of the storage recess, and corresponds to the lower surface part that is off this pedestal and the valleys on both sides. The part to be lifted is the one that floats from the inner bottom surface of the storage recess, so when you take it out, you can push it up with one finger off the pedestal part and push it down with your finger to tilt it up and down to the other end. Since it floats up outside the storage recess, it can be easily taken out from the storage recess by holding the other end. In the case of taking out as described above, since the finger receiving concave portion is formed between the adjacent storage concave portions, the finger can be easily pressed against the fixed food such as chocolate in the finger receiving concave portion. Since the inner wall surfaces on both sides of each storage recess are formed with retaining protrusions that gradually protrude upward into the storage recess, both side surfaces of solid food such as chocolate have this retaining protrusion. By engaging with the portion, inadvertent removal from the storage recess is prevented. The pedestal is raised from the center of the bottom surface of the storage recess, and the bottom separated by the pedestal remains between this pedestal and the walls at both ends, and the valley is recessed from both side edges of the upper surface of the pedestal. Therefore, the entire lower edge of the fixed food such as chocolate does not come into contact with any of the storage recesses, so that the lower edge of the solid food such as fragile chocolate can be protected over the entire circumference. In each storage recess, the wall portion provided with the retaining protrusion can be reinforced by the retaining protrusion. Due to the curved periphery of this recess, the wall in which the finger receiving recess is formed has a stronger strength than the case where the upper edge of the wall is simply straightened without forming the recess because of molding by plastic. Become. The valley is recessed from both edges of the upper surface of the pedestal,
Since it is higher than the bottom left between the pedestal and the walls at both ends,
Even between the wall portion provided with the retaining protrusion and the pedestal portion, the strength is rather increased by the valley portion.
