Incline to the breaking line 2.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is a divided packaging container in which the packaging container can be divided into left and right small unit containers by a break line so that a plurality of products contained in the packaging container can be subdivided and sold. Regarding

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When there are a large number of products stored in the packaging container, this type of divided packaging container is divided into small unit containers at retail stores, etc., and each small unit product contained in the small unit container is divided. It is convenient because it can be subdivided and sold.

By the way, when a packaging container in which a large number of products are stored is divided into small-unit containers and the products are subdivided into small-unit products and sold, retail stores or the like store the products in the small-unit containers. It is necessary to manage the product for each small unit container, such as the number and price of the products in use.

Therefore, when the packaging container is divided, a bar code symbol representing the product information of the product contained in the small unit container is printed in advance on the outer surface of the small unit container. .

In addition, when shipping a product from a product manufacturer or a wholesaler to a retail store, or when receiving a product at a retail store, the divided packaging container is not divided but handled as a single container. Therefore, the outer surface of the packaging container is also printed with a bar code symbol indicating the product information of the entire product contained in the packaging container before division.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, the bar code symbol that represents the product information of the whole product before division is readable by the barcode reader after dividing the packaging container into small unit containers. May be misread as a bar code symbol that represents information.

Therefore, when the packaging container is divided into small unit containers, the barcode symbol representing the product information of the entire product before the division is printed on the break line of the packaging container so that it cannot be read and is broken. When the packaging container is divided by a line, the barcode symbol may also be divided to make it unreadable.

However, when the barcode symbol is printed over the broken line, the broken line becomes parallel to the parallel line of the barcode, and the barcode reader mistakenly recognizes the broken line as the parallel line of the barcode, and the barcode reader Sometimes misreads or cannot read barcodes.

Therefore, the present invention intends to prevent the bar code symbol from being erroneously read by the bar code reader and to prevent the bar code symbol from being unreadable by devising the bar code symbol to be printed on the break line.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention prints a bar code symbol to be printed on a break line so that the bar of the bar code symbol is inclined with respect to the break line.

[0011]

[Action]

 Since the bar code reader reads information using a combination of bars, if the break line is inclined with respect to the bar of the bar code symbol, misinterpretation of the break line and the bar of the bar code symbol is prevented.

[0012]

【Example】

 An example of the divided packaging container according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

This divided packaging container is configured such that five bottles A are accommodated in parallel in a packaging container 1 formed of cardboard, and the packaging container 1 contains five bottles A. A break line 2 is formed by perforations so that it can be subdivided into two and three. When the packaging container 1 is divided into left and right by the break line 2, two small unit containers of two and three Are formed.

As shown in the development view of FIG. 2, the packaging container 1 is formed by bending a piece of cardboard. That is, the side plates 5 are formed on both sides of the top plate 3 via the bending lines 4, and the inner bottom plate 7 and the outer bottom plate 8 are formed on the lower ends of the both side plates 5 via the bending lines 6. The inner bottom plate 7 and the outer bottom plate 8 are superposed on each other with the inner bottom plate 7 inside. Then, a plurality of insert pieces 9 are formed on the edge of the outer bottom plate 8, and the insert pieces 9 are inserted into the slits 10 formed on the fold line 6 which is the boundary line between the inner bottom plate 7 and the side plate 5 to form the bottom. It is designed to be assembled. A plurality of engaging pieces 11 are formed in the left-right direction on the outer bottom plate 8 by slits, and engaging holes 12 for hooking the engaging pieces 11 are formed in the inner bottom plate 7.

Support holes 13 and 14 are formed in the upper and lower ends of one of the two side plates 5 so that the corners of the upper and lower ends of the five bottles A arranged in parallel are fitted. There is.

A break line 2 is formed by perforations on the packaging container 1 so that it can be divided into two small unit containers of two and three, and the break line 2 is formed on the outer bottom plate 8. A bar code symbol 15 representing two pieces of product information and a bar code symbol 16 representing three pieces of product information are printed on the left and right of the boundary.

On the breaking line 2, a bar code symbol 17 representing the product information for five pieces is provided with respect to the breaking line 2 so that the bar of the bar code symbol is not parallel to the breaking line 2. It is printed so that it tilts.

In the divided packaging container configured as described above, when the packaging container 1 is handled as 5 pieces without dividing the packaging container 1 by the break line 2, the bar code symbol 17 on the break line 2 becomes If you read with, you can get product information of 5 pieces. At this time, since the bar code symbol 17 is printed so as to be inclined with respect to the break line 2, the bar code reader does not misidentify the bar of the bar code symbol and the break line. When reading 5 bar code symbols 17, 2 bar code symbols and 3 bar code symbols 15 and 16 are formed on the outer bottom plate 8. Therefore, 5 bar code symbols 15 and 16 are mistakenly read. It is unlikely to be read as a bar code symbol 17 with a key.

Next, if the packaging container 1 is divided into left and right by the break line 2, it is possible to sell in small units as small unit containers of 2 and 3 units. With the code symbol 15, the product information of the three small unit containers can be obtained with the bar code symbol 16.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent misreading and unreadableness of a bar code symbol printed on a break line of a divided packaging container by a bar code reader.
