Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent gum sheets from jamping out by automatically constricting the unsealed opening with an extensible member after unsealing, by attaching the extensible member as a unit to the nearby position of the unsealing opening of a container. CONSTITUTION: An unsealing belt 3 is formed at one end of a container 1 which can be unsealed by pulling the unsealing belt 3 around the container. An extensible member 4 like a rubber ring is fitted as a unit in the streched state at the end of the unsealing opening 1a. This extensible member 4 is fitted a little inside adjacently to the unsealing belt 3. After unsealing, when several sheets of gum 2 are pulled out, the extensible member 4 is contracted as thick as sheets of gum pulled out and the unsealing opening 1a is constricted and the rest sheets of gum can be held. Accordingly, the extensible and contractible member 4 is contracted as much as the reduced thickness of sheets of gum. And the unsealing opening 1a can be gradually constricted until the gum sheet gets to the last one. In this way, the rest sheets of gum can be securely held.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a soft-hold type container suitable for storing plate gum and ball-shaped confectioneries.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, once a plate gum container or a ball-shaped confectionery packaging bag is opened, the opening is left open and cannot be resealed. Therefore, if you put it in a pocket, bag, etc. as it is, the contents will pop out and be scattered, pushed by other stored items to bend the plate gum, remove the wrapping paper, and make the ball-shaped confectionery dirty and unclean. It may also pollute the inside of pockets and bags. In order to prevent such inconvenience, the opening may be bent or twisted and stopped with a string or rubber band, but simply bending may open the opening due to the restoring force, Also, it is troublesome to stop with a string or a rubber band, and if they are not at hand, it cannot be stopped. On the other hand, as a container for ball-shaped confectionery, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a hinge-type cap B is provided at the opening A, and after opening the ball-shaped confectionery D in the container C by arbitrarily opening and closing the cap B. The one that can be taken out is conventionally known.

[0003]

According to the above conventional example,
In the case of a plate gum container, there is no resealing means once opened, and in the case of a ball-shaped confectionery container, a carton provided with a hinge-type cap as described above may be used. Has a problem of high manufacturing cost. Therefore, the present invention is a container for storing plate gum, ball-shaped confectionery, and the like, in particular, after opening, the opening can be automatically shrunk by an elastic member to prevent popping out,
Moreover, it is an object to provide a soft hold type container that can be manufactured at low cost.

[0004]

As a means for technically solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a telescopic member integrally attached near the opening of a container accommodating contents.
The main point is a soft hold container. Also, an elastic member such as a rubber band is attached near the opening of the container containing the plate gum so as to hold it in an expanded state before opening, and after the opening, the contracting force of the elastic member is used to reduce the amount of the plate gum to open the opening. The gist is a soft-hold type container that is able to hold the remaining plate gum by purging. Further, an elastic member such as a rubber band is attached near the opening of the container storing the ball-shaped confectionery, and a cap for fitting to the elastic member to hold the expanded state before opening is provided, and the cap is removed. A gist of the soft-hold type container is that after opening, the opening is narrowed by the contracting force of the elastic member so that the remaining ball-shaped confectionery can be held in the container.

[0005]

[Operation] Since the elastic member is integrally attached near the opening of the container, it is possible to prevent the contents from popping out by automatically shrinking the opening by the contracting force of the elastic member after opening. I can. Further, since the structure is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a board gum container. Reference numeral 1 denotes a paper container, and a plurality of board gums 2 each wrapped with silver paper and wrapped with paper as in the conventional case. Are stacked and packaged.

This container 1 has an opening band 3 formed at one end, and by pulling this opening band 3 it can be opened as shown in FIG. 1B, and at the end of the opening 1a. An elastic member 4 such as a rubber band is integrally attached in an expanded state. The elastic member 4 is provided, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, adjacent to the opening band 3 and slightly inward. The opening band 3 may be provided integrally with the container 1 via a cut line or a break line.

After opening, several plate gums 2 are taken out, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (c), the elastic member 4 is shrunk by the amount of the removed plate gum to shrink the opening 1a, and the remaining plate gum 2 can be held. Therefore, in this state, even if the container 1 is put in a pocket, a bag (not shown), etc., the remaining plate gum does not jump out of the container 1 and the plate gum scatters or is pushed by other stored items to bend. , The wrapping paper does not come off. In this way, the elastic member 4 shrinks by the amount of the reduced number of plate gums 2, and the opening 1a is successively shrunk until the remaining one plate remains, so that the remaining plate gums can be reliably held. .

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the container. A paper container 11 accommodating a plurality of plate gums 12 has one end opened, and a rubber material 14 is provided outside the open end 11a. Almost linearly applied along the open end, and the open end 1
A cap 15 is attached to the 1a side, and an opening band 13 is provided at an end of the cap 15.

In this case, when the unsealing band 13 is pulled around and the cap 15 is removed, the unsealed state shown in FIG.
The rubber material 14 is located along the outer periphery of the opening end 11a. Therefore, when a plurality of plate gums 12 are pulled out after opening in the same manner as described above, the rubber material 14 is shrunk by the amount of the pulled plate gums and the open end 11a is narrowed, and the remaining plate gums 12 can be held. .

Although the opening band 13 is formed inside the rubber material 14 in the above example, the opening band 13 is not limited to this and may be provided outside the rubber material 14. In addition, the elastic member 4 and the rubber material 14 hold the plate gum softly with the minimum necessary contraction force so that the tightening force is not too strong and does not cut into both sides of the plate gum or deform the plate gum. Is set in advance.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a container for ball-shaped confectionery. Reference numeral 21 denotes a container (packaging bag) made of a synthetic resin film or the like, which has a corner near the seal portion 21a at one end. Is provided with an opening 21b of a predetermined size,
A stretchable member 24 such as a rubber band is integrally attached around the opening in an expanded state.

Reference numeral 25 is a cap attached so as to cover the opening 21b, and a hard protrusion 25a made of paper or synthetic resin is integrally provided.
A is fitted to the elastic member 24 so that it can be held in an extended state. The cap 25 may be formed separately from the container 21 and adhered to and integrated with the seal portion 21a, or may be integrally formed in advance as a part of the container 21.
In any case, the opening 21b is closed before opening, and the cap 25 can be removed when opening.

After opening, since the elastic member 24 contracts and the opening 21b is narrowed, the ball-shaped confectionery 22 stored in the container 21 does not pop out. Therefore, the container 21 can be directly placed in a pocket, a bag, or the like, and
It is possible to prevent contamination inside the pocket or bag.

In order to take out the ball-shaped confectionery 22 from the container 21, the ball-shaped confectionery 22 is sequentially moved to the vicinity of the elastic member 24 by pinching the ball-shaped confectionery 22 from above the container 21 and further nipping it with the fingers. When extruded from 24, the elastic member 24 expands, the opening 21b expands, and the ball-shaped confectionery 22 can be taken out. After taking out
The elastic member 24 contracts again to narrow the opening 21b and prevent the ball-shaped confectionery 22 remaining in the container 21 from popping out.

When the container 21 is turned upside down at the time of taking out, the ball-shaped confectionery 22 inside moves to the side of the elastic member 24 at once, so as described above, the ball-shaped confectionery 22 is moved to the vicinity of the elastic member 24 with the fingers. The operation of moving sequentially can be omitted.

The size of the opening 21b before opening is set to be slightly larger than the ball-shaped confectionery 22 and the size of the elastic member 24 at the time of contraction after opening is the ball-shaped confectionery 22.
It goes without saying that the size is set to be smaller than the size of. The container according to the present invention is not limited to plate gum and ball-shaped confectionery, but can be widely applied as a container for other confectioneries, foods, and the like.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the elastic member is integrally attached near the opening of the container, the elastic member shrinks after opening to automatically squeeze the opening to prevent the contents from popping out. Therefore, it is not necessary to fold the opening of the container after opening or twist the opening and stop it with a string or rubber band, etc., and it can be put into a pocket, bag, etc. as it is, and dirt and germs of contents caused by popping out It is possible to prevent the adherence of the above-mentioned matter and to prevent the inside of the pocket, the bag and the like from being contaminated. Further, since the structure is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost.
