Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to containers for frozen desserts and the like.

Conventionally, containers for frozen desserts such as ice cream have been made by connecting a container body and a lid made of resin with a lid that can be opened and closed freely via a hinge at a portion of the outer periphery of the opening. Opposite flanges are provided protruding from the respective openings of the container body and lid body on the side opposite to the opening, and one flange is formed with a locking hole and the other flange is formed with a locking protrusion. something is being used.

The container body is held closed by the lid by engaging the locking protrusion with the locking hole, but in this case, the force that prevents the lid from opening is exerted by the retaining portion. Since only frictional force is used, there is a problem in that the lid opens during transportation of the container and the contents spill out.

Therefore, it is possible to heat-seal both flanges together, but this would leave many recesses on the flange surface as impressions during the joining process, which would worsen the appearance of the container, and the work efficiency would be poor, so this is not always necessary. It's not something to be satisfied with.

Furthermore, in any of the above cases, it is necessary to provide a flange protruding from the outer periphery of the opening between the container body and the lid, which requires extra space during transportation, resulting in a decrease in transportation efficiency.

On the other hand, it is possible to maintain the closed state by pasting adhesive tape around the opening between the container body and the lid without providing a flange as described above, but since the opening has irregularities, The work of applying adhesive tape is extremely troublesome, and there is also the disadvantage that the applied adhesive tape is likely to come off when it comes into contact with other objects during transportation.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above, and by forming recesses for pasting the adhesive tape at opposing positions on the outer periphery of the opening of the container body and lid, the work of pasting the adhesive tape is facilitated. To provide a container that is extremely easy to transport, that can reliably maintain a closed state without the adhesive tape attached to it peeling off during transport, and that can be transported efficiently without requiring extra space. It is.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a container made of polystyrene, a styrene-based copolymer, polyolefin resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, etc., or a resin foam container. The body 3 is shaped so that the opening has a larger cross section, and is connected to one side of each opening via a hinge part 4 so as to be openable and closable.

The container body 2 and the lid 3 have outwardly bulging edges 5 and 6 on the opening peripheries of the container body 2 and the lid 3, excluding the hinge portion, respectively. It is designed to fit into the outer circumference of the edge 5 of the container body 2.

Concave portions 12 and 13 formed by bending the opening outer periphery inward are provided at opposing positions on the outer periphery of the opening of the container body 2 and the lid 3 on the side opposite to the hinge portion 4. .

The surfaces of the concave portion 12 provided in the container body 2 and the concave portion 13 provided in the lid body 3 are shaped so that they are substantially on the same plane when the lid body 3 is fitted onto the container body 2. Although this is preferred since it is convenient for the adhesion of the adhesive tape 15, the shape is not necessarily limited to this, and both surfaces may be formed into a mountain shape slightly protruding outward.

As described above, the container according to the present invention has inward recesses 12 at opposite positions of the opening peripheries of the container body 2 and the lid 3, which are connected to each other via the hinge part 4 so as to be freely openable and closable. ，
13, the adhesive tape 15 for keeping the container closed is attached to a relatively flat concave part 12.
Since the adhesive tape 15 is attached to the surface of the container body 2 and the lid, the adhesive tape 15 is attached to the container body 2 and the lid. Unlike the case where the adhesive tape is exposed on the outer peripheral surface of the body 3, there is no risk that the adhesive tape will come into contact with the surface of the adjacent container during transportation and come off, and the closed state of the container can be maintained reliably. .

Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a locking flange, no extra space is required during transportation, and transportation efficiency can be increased.

In addition, when the container is made of resin foam, the container acts as a shock absorber against impact loads, and there is no risk of the contents breaking during transportation, and it can also be used as a container for frozen desserts such as ice cream. When used, it exhibits excellent heat retention effects due to its good heat insulation properties.

Note that the recessed parts 12 and 13 may be provided at any position on the outer periphery of the opening of the container body 2 and the lid body 3, as long as they face each other, but as shown in the above embodiment, the recessed parts 12 and 13 When provided on the outer periphery of the opening on the opposite side, it is even more convenient to attach the adhesive tape 15, and the container can be reliably closed.

In addition, edges 5 and 6 are formed around the openings of the container body 2 and the lid 3 so that one edge fits into the outer periphery of the other edge. In this case, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from entering the container.
