Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partitioning tool which is used by incorporating it in a container body for storing confectionery or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a partitioning tool for partitioning the interior of a container body into a large number of storage spaces, it is generally known to assemble a resin molded product or a plate material in which the partition space is formed in advance. If it is three-dimensionally configured in advance,
It is bulky and requires a large space for storage and transportation, and in the case where a plurality of bite slits are formed in a plate material to assemble in a cross shape, the assembly process requires labor. Therefore, conventionally, a linear slit is formed in a central portion of a rectangular plate material, and the plate material is folded up using an extension line of the linear slit as a fold line to form a pair of wall portions facing each other across the linear slit. The inner fold line and the outer fold line are set at both ends of the linear slit and the intermediate position in the longitudinal direction, and the plate material is bent in a cross shape or a rhombus shape to form a large number of partition spaces. (See, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-26656).

[0003]

The conventional structure constructed as described above is not bulky and is easy and convenient to assemble, but it is considered to fix the partition and the peripheral wall portion. If so, the device was not specially made.
Therefore, in particular, it is not a mere plate-like or rod-like shape, and a corner having a certain angle faces the peripheral wall portion, so it is difficult to adopt a configuration such as inserting and locking the peripheral wall portion. When trying to form a space of a shape, a complicated work such as bonding is required, and it is inconvenient to use by fixing the relative position of the partitioning tool and the peripheral wall. The present invention utilizes the advantage of a folding type partitioning tool that the partitioning tool itself is not bulky and is easy to assemble, while fixing the partitioning tool for forming a diamond-shaped partition space to the peripheral wall. Its purpose is to simplify the configuration of.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention, which was devised to achieve the above object, is a partitioning tool for partitioning an inner space of a container into five or more storage spaces. A linear slit is formed in the part, the plate material is folded up with the extension line of the linear slit as a fold line, and a pair of wall portions facing each other across the linear slit is formed,
Inner folding lines are set on the both wall portions at positions corresponding to both ends of the straight slit, and outer folding lines are set on the both wall portions at intermediate positions in the longitudinal direction of the straight slit, respectively, The inner fold line is formed on both sides of the outer fold line in the vicinity of the outer fold line, and the outer fold line is formed at a portion of both wall portions closer to the outer fold line than the inner fold line on the folded portion by each outer fold line. And a cutout portion is provided in a range over a part in the length direction of the outer folding line, and with respect to the concave portion formed on the peripheral wall of the container body by the folded portion which is the remaining portion of the cutout portion. That is, the protrusion-shaped support portion to be engaged is configured. When constructing a partitioning tool for the same purpose, a plurality of linear slits are formed in series at appropriate intervals at the central portion of a rectangular plate material, and the plate material is folded using the extension lines of these linear slits as folding lines. A pair of wall portions may be formed so as to face each other with the straight slit interposed therebetween, and the container inner space may have a storage space that divides into seven or more. Moreover, as the plate material, a paperboard, a thin plate of aluminum, and a thin plate of plastic such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and styrene can be used.

[0005]

According to the structure of the present invention, when one linear slit is formed in the plate material, for example, as shown in FIG.
By setting another inner folding line e between the inner folding line c and the outer folding line d, a cross-shaped partitioning tool 2 in which a diamond-shaped storage space is formed in the center as shown in FIG. 12 is formed. Can be obtained. When two straight slits are formed,
The above-mentioned hollow cross-shaped composite combination can be made, and for example, the partitioning tool 2 having the shape as shown in FIG.
It is possible to obtain the partitioning tool 2 having a shape as shown in FIG. And, the fixing of these partitioning tools and the peripheral wall does not make the end portion of the rhombus directly face the peripheral wall, but the plate-shaped support portion formed in a continuous state at the corner and the peripheral wall. Therefore, even if the partitioning tool forms a diamond-shaped space that is difficult to fix on the peripheral wall, the partitioning can be fixedly installed without incurring the complexity of the structure.
In addition, the formation of the support portion, together with the formation of the partitioning tool,
Since it is integrally formed at the end portion, there is no trouble in assembling.

[0006]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) A partition tool capable of partitioning a large number of storage spaces can be easily manufactured using one plate material. (2) Since there is only one part for each partitioning tool, parts management is easy, and assembly can be done efficiently with no error in assembly. (3) As materials before assembly, they can be stacked and handled in a low bulk, which is convenient for storage, packing, transportation, and the like. (4) Since the wall portions located on both sides of the slit are formed into various shapes by bending, the plate material may be rectangular, and the plate material can be cut out with good yield from the raw material, and in this respect also, the practical effect is great. . (5) Since the partition is fixed by using a plate-shaped support portion that can be integrally formed at the same time as the partition is formed, even if the partition forms a diamond-shaped space that is difficult to fix, a structure for fixing the partition to the peripheral wall is provided. Because of this, special processing and extra assembly man-hours are not required, and the structure can be easily configured. (6) In particular, when a paper material is used as the plate material, it can be manufactured at low cost.
