Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for storing live vegetables such as cracked radish.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional containers for shellfish radish, etc. are made of tapered transparent synthetic resin at the bottom, and have a notch that becomes an air hole in the upper part, and a polyurethane foam of a predetermined size inside A large number of rooted radish sprouts were stored, and a synthetic resin sheet was attached to the top of the container for sale.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional container for storing shellfish radish, etc. is entirely made of synthetic resin material, so it will not rot if left unattended, and it will be difficult to dispose of the container after removing the shellfish radish inside, There was a problem that even if incinerated, it would still be a source of pollution. In addition, since the entire container is made of synthetic resin and it is difficult to reuse it after using it as a container for shellfish radish etc., there was a problem that the amount of useless resin used increased as a result. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a container for storing live vegetables such as shell cracked radish that is easy to dispose of after use and is less likely to cause pollution.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The live vegetable storage container according to claim 1, which is in accordance with the above object, is constructed by arranging a transparent water-impermeable sheet on the inside of a paper container having an air hole at the top and having a viewing window on both sides. ing.

[0005]

[Action]

 The live vegetable storage container according to claim 1 is mainly composed of a paper container, and since the viewing windows are provided on both sides, the freshness of the live vegetables inside can be observed from the viewing windows. Since it is lined with a non-water-permeable sheet, it can contain water inside, and since there is an air hole in the upper part, there is adequate water to keep the vegetables inside alive. Therefore, long-term storage is possible.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention. 1 is a perspective view of a live vegetable storage container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a live vegetable storage container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 11 and a transparent lining sheet 12 in the container body 11. These will be described in detail below.

The container body 11 is made of a slightly thick paper (0.5 to 1.5 mm) made of pulp or the like, and has a viewing window 13 at the center of both sides. It is preferable that this viewing window 13 is sufficiently large so that the shell radish 14 inside can be observed. It is preferably about 0.3 to 0.7 times the area. An air hole 15 is provided at the center of the upper portion of the container body 11 in use, and handles 16 and 17 are provided upright on both sides of the air hole 15. Since the handles 16 and 17 are also made of paper, they can be appropriately folded outside or inside. Before assembly, the ceiling portions 18 and 19 of the container body 11 open to the left and right around the base end thereof as shown in FIG. 2, and the shelled radish 14 planted in a predetermined mat can be inserted from the top. You can do it. Then, after the shelled radish 14 is put inside, both side end surfaces 20 and 21 of the ceiling portions 18 and 19 can be brought into contact with the upper plate 22 of the container body 11. When the upper side plate 22 is provided, both end faces 20 and 21 of the ceiling portions 18 and 19 are unnecessary, and therefore, the ceiling portions 18 and 19 are cut at the positions indicated by chain double-dashed lines a and b in FIG. It is also possible to directly join the side plate surface of the above to the upper plate 22. Further, when the both end surfaces 20 and 21 of the ceiling portions 18 and 19 are provided, the upper plate 22 may be omitted and the overlapping portions of the both end surfaces 20 and 21 may be joined. .

The lining sheet 12 is made of a thin transparent synthetic resin sheet such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyamide which is a non-water-permeable sheet so that water inside does not easily come out. ing. The lining sheet 12 is lined with the inside of the peep window 13 of the container body 11 as well as the other parts so that the container body 11 is not wet by water. In addition, this lining sheet 12 is formed by appropriately joining one (or two or more) sheets to form a container as a whole so that even if water is put inside, it does not leak outside. It has become.

Therefore, when the live vegetable storage container 10 is used, seedlings of cracked radish are grown in advance on a mat made of polyurethane foam or the like by a seedling raising device, and when the container reaches a predetermined size, the container is used. The ceiling portions 18 and 19 of the main body 11 are opened and put inside, and then the ceiling portions 18 and 19 are closed, and both end surfaces 20 and 21 thereof are joined. As a result, an air hole 15 is formed in the center of the container body 11, so that the shellfish radish 14 inside has a long life and is put into the distribution process as it is. After use of the live vegetable storage container 10, if necessary, the lining sheet 12 is peeled off and only the container body 11 is discarded, which does not become a pollution source. In addition, even if the container body 11 with the lining sheet 12 stuck inside is discarded, the amount used is extremely small compared to the conventional synthetic resin container (about 10 to 20% of the conventional one). ), It is easy to dispose of and is not likely to become a pollution source.

In the above embodiments, the lining sheet 12 is attached to the inside of the container body 11. However, paper having a thin synthetic resin sheet attached to the surface in advance is used, and the sight window is attached to the window. The present invention is also applicable to a case where another synthetic resin is attached from the inside to assemble the container body.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, since the main part of the container for storing live vegetables according to claim 1 is made of paper, most of it will be corroded and decomposed even if it is discarded as it is, and furthermore, it will burn. Even if it is done, it has an advantage that it does not become a pollution source because the generation of harmful gas is extremely small.
