DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of a storage box for a lunch box or the like according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a relatively shallow paper box having an opening 2 on the entire upper surface, and the inner volume of the box 1 is such that rice and side dishes are covered. ) Shaped medium container V is set to fit. A cover 5 for opening and closing the opening 2 is extendedly provided on the upper edge of one side wall 3 of the box 1 through a fold line 4, and the tip of the cover 5 is provided with a fold line 6 through the fold line 6. A side wall piece 8 covering the outside of the other side wall 7 facing the side wall 3 is extended. Further, an insertion tongue piece 10 is provided at the center of the tip end edge of the side wall covering piece 8 via a folding line 9.

An insertion hole 11 for inserting the cup C is formed near the fold line 4 of the cover 5, and a semicircular cut is formed along the fold line 6 of the cover 5 so as to face the insertion hole 11. A lead wire 12 is provided. Further, the cover lid 5 is formed with a fold line 13 that bisects the fold lines 4 and 6. Further, slit grooves 14 and 15 for inserting the insertion tongues 10 are provided along the lower edges of the one side wall 3 and the other side wall 7, respectively. The box 1 formed in this way accommodates the inner container V packed with bento, covers the upper surface thereof with the cover 5 and the side wall cover piece 8, and further inserts the insertion tongue piece 10 into the slit groove 15.
The opening 2 shown in FIG. 1 is kept closed.

When eating a box lunch in the box for storing the box lunch or the like of the present invention thus packed, the box body 1 is placed on the thigh in a posture of sitting on a bench or the like, with the other side wall 7 facing forward. By placing, the cover 5 is bent outward in the order of fold lines 4 and 13, and the side wall piece 8 is bent outward along the fold line 6, and the insertion tongue piece 10 is inserted into the slit groove 14 and locked.
As shown in FIG. 3, the housing 1 having a rectangular tubular cross section is provided outside the box body 1.
6 are formed. In the housing portion 16, the insertion hole 11 provided in the cover 5 is located on the upper surface, and the side wall piece 8 serves as a bottom wall. Further, a substantially semicircular cut line 12 provided on the cover 5 at a position facing the insertion hole 11 is cut off, and an opening 17 corresponding to the insertion hole 11 is formed below the standing portion 5a of the cover 5.
Is formed.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
When the cup C of tea poured is inserted into the insertion hole 11 on the upper surface of the cup 6, the bottom of the cup C is received by the side wall piece 8 that forms the bottom wall of the accommodating portion 16. At this time, when the bottom portion of the cup C protrudes outward from the side wall piece 8, a part of the lower portion of the cup C faces the opening 17 and can be erected stably as shown in FIG. . In this way, the cup C accommodated in the accommodating portion 16 is always stably held in the upright state and is not accidentally fallen down.

Further, the storage box of the present invention, such as a lunch box, is a box body 1.
The left and right side walls 18 and 19 of FIG. 6 are formed with eight-shaped fold lines 20 and 20 facing each other, and the left and right side walls 18 and 19 are bent inward by these fold lines 20 and 20, respectively.
Since the four side walls 3, 7, 18, and 19 can be folded in a flat shape as shown in FIG. 3, the bulkiness is reduced, and when the inner container V is not housed in the box body 1, it can be handled for storage and transportation. Can be done efficiently.

7 to 10 relate to the second embodiment, in which the housing portion 16 is formed differently from the above embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, two folding lines 13 are formed on the cover 5 to divide the width into three.
And 21 are provided. Further, the insertion tongue piece 10 has engagement recesses 22, 22 formed at both left and right ends. The other parts are formed in the same manner as in the above embodiment. Then, the covering lid 5 is bent outward in the order of fold lines 4, 13, 21 and 6, and the side wall covering piece 8 is raised along the outer side surface of the one side wall 3, and the insertion tongue piece 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 11. Then, the engaging recesses 22, 22 of the insertion tongue 10 are locked in the insertion hole 11. In this way, the insertion tongue piece 10 is locked in the insertion hole 11, so that the accommodating portion 16 has a rectangular tubular cross-section as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, and the cup C is more stable than the above embodiment. Can be maintained at.

FIG. 11 shows a third embodiment. The storage box for the lunch box or the like has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but the insertion hole 11 is not opened in advance, and a perforation line 23 that matches the insertion hole 11 is provided. Then, the cover 5 is bent outward, the perforation lines 23 are all cut off, the cut-off cover 24 is removed, and the insertion hole 11 is opened. Thereafter, it is used in the same manner as shown in FIGS. Thus, the reason why the insertion hole 11 is not opened in advance is to prevent dust and the like from entering the box body 1 through the insertion hole 11.

FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment in which
A single cutting line 25 is provided in a transverse shape on a cutting lid 24 surrounded by the perforation line 23. Then, the cover 5 is bent outward, and the perforation line 23 is partially cut off as shown in FIG. 13 to push open from the cut line 25 to open the insertion hole 11. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14, it is used in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In this way, when the insertion hole 11 is opened, the notch line 25 is not entirely cut off but left partially on the cover 5. The reason is that the cut-off cover 24 falls close to the surroundings and becomes dirty as in the case of complete cutting. This is to prevent this.

The one shown in FIG. 15 relates to the fourth embodiment, and the storage box for the lunch box and the like in the second embodiment is also as follows.
A perforation line 23 that matches the insertion hole 11 is formed, all the perforation lines 23 are cut off, and the cut-off lid 24 is removed to open the insertion hole 11, and FIG.
In the fourth embodiment, the cut line 25 is provided in the cutting lid 24 in the fourth embodiment, and all of them have the same effects as the third embodiment.

FIG. 17 relates to the fifth embodiment. The storage box for the lunch box and the like has substantially the same structure as that of the first embodiment, but two cut lines 26, 26 are provided in a cross shape to form an insertion hole near one side wall 3 of the cover 5. Then, the cover 5 is bent outward and the cut line 2 is formed.
6, push open from 6, 26, as shown in FIG.
I am trying to open. After that, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, it is used in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 19 relates to the sixth embodiment, and the storage box for the lunch box and the like in the second embodiment is also as follows.
In order to form the insertion hole 11 near the one side wall 3 of the cover 5, two cut lines 26, 26 are provided in a cross shape. In this embodiment as well, after the cut lines 26, 26 are pushed open, they are used in the same manner as in the second embodiment as shown in FIGS. Both of them have the same effect as when the cutting lid 24 is not cut in the third and fourth embodiments.

Although the box body 1 of each embodiment is made of relatively thick paper, it may be made of synthetic resin, metal, wood or the like as long as it has equivalent strength. Further, it goes without saying that the contents of the box body 1 are not limited to lunch boxes such as rice and side dishes, but can be applied to sandwiches, pizzas, french fries, burgers and the like that are generally eaten as light meals.

[0023]

As described above, according to the storage box of the present invention such as a lunch box, the cover lid provided on the box body for opening and closing the opening on the top surface of the box body is simply bent to the outside when eating the lunch box. Since it is possible to form a storage part that holds the poured cup in an upright state, when eating lunches etc. outdoors such as watching sports, even if there are many people and there is no space around, tea is spilled. You can continue to hold the cup stably without.
