For example, the containers for beverage packs
This is conventionally known from Publication No. 9.

The beverage pack container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-17309 has a concave groove that opens downward and is provided on the lower surface of a partition plate 2 that is integrally provided with a rectangular frame 1, into which the top projecting piece 5 of the beverage pack 4 fits. 3 had a completely closed structure.

Therefore, if the container of a beverage pack is washed with water and the container is turned upside down until just before use, water may remain in the narrow groove 3, and even if the container is turned over before use, the groove 3 The accumulated water is not completely drained and remains attached to the groove, and the top protrusion 5 of the beverage pack 4 is fitted into the groove 3 to which this water has adhered.

However, the manufacturing date of the beverage is usually stamped on the side surface of the top protrusion 5 of the beverage pack 4, and when the top protrusion 5 is inserted into the groove 3, it will not fit inside the groove 3. Due to the remaining water, the characters such as the date of manufacture stamped on the top protrusion 5 may become blurred, run, or smudge, resulting in a problem that the characters such as the date cannot be distinguished. Ta.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and its purpose is to allow water to drain without remaining in the grooves even when the container of a beverage pack is washed with water for reuse. To provide a container for a beverage pack that does not bleed or wash away characters such as the date of manufacture attached to the sound part protrusion of the beverage pack when reused.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples.

The beverage pack container according to the present invention has a plurality of beverage packs 4 arranged vertically and horizontally, each having a top projecting piece 5 protruding from the vertical center of the upper surface of a rectangular cylindrical pack body over approximately the entire length in the horizontal direction. The container is shaped like a rectangular frame 1 and a partition plate 2 that divides the inside of the rectangular frame 1 into two upper and lower chambers A and B.

A rectangular frame 1 forming a side peripheral wall of the container is formed into a rectangular cylindrical shape or made of resin, and the partition plate 2 is formed by integrally forming the rectangular frame 1 at the same time.

The bottom surface of the beverage pack 4 whose lower part is stored in the upper chamber A above the partition plate 2 is placed on the upper surface of the partition plate 2, and the bottom surface of the beverage pack 4 is placed in the lower chamber B below the partition plate 4. The upper part of the beverage pack 4 stored in the container is stored.

The lower surface of the partition plate 2 has a serrated uneven surface, and the top protrusion 5 of the beverage pack 4 is attached to each concave ridge 6 of the serrated uneven surface.
A concave groove 3 is formed that opens downward into which the top protrusions 5 are fitted, and the top protrusions 5 of the beverage packs 4 that are lined up along the longitudinal direction of the top protrusions 5 with their side faces abutting each other form one concave groove 3. The top protrusions 5 of the beverage packs 4 are fitted into the recessed grooves 3 parallel to each other, and the top protrusions 5 of the beverage packs 4 are lined up in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the top protrusions 5 with their side surfaces abutting each other. It is now possible to do so.

The depth of the groove 3 is equal to or greater than the height of the top protrusion 5 of the beverage pack 4.

Here, a drainage opening C is provided in the upper part of the groove 3 so that the groove 3 and the upper surface of the partition plate 2 communicate with each other.

Although the drainage opening C is provided over the entire length of the groove 3 in the longitudinal direction in FIG. good.

Further, if the opening width of the water draining opening C is made equal to the width of the groove 3 as shown in FIG. 4, the water draining effect can be further improved.

In the illustrated embodiment of the beverage pack 4, a ridge-like protrusion protrudes from the top of a rectangular cylindrical pack main body, and the upper surface is shaped like a gable roof, and the top extends along the entire length of the ridgeline of the ridge-like protrusion. The container has a shape in which the projecting piece 5 protrudes, and an example is shown in which a total of 12 beverage packs 4, three in the vertical direction and four in the horizontal direction, are housed in one container.

On the side surface of the top protrusion 5 of the beverage pack 4, the manufacturing date D is stamped or the like, as shown in FIG.

A plurality of through holes 7 are provided along the concave ridges 6 between the concave ridges 6 at substantially the same intervals as the width of the beverage pack 4 .

Reference numeral 8 denotes a mounting rib on which the beverage pack 4 is placed, and is provided above the middle part of each through hole 7 so as to be perpendicular to the groove 3, and its upper surface is parallel to the upper surface 3a of the groove 3. It is arranged so that it is on the same plane as the

9 is a reinforcing rib, and a convex ridge portion 10 between each through hole 7, 7 is provided.
It is shaped on the top surface of.

However, the beverage pack container of the above structure is used to store beverage packs 4 such as milk and juice that are currently on the market. Beverage packs 4, 4 placed in the lower row as shown
Each of the top protrusions 5 is fitted into the groove 3 and placed so that each of the inclined shoulders 4a is in contact with the tapered surface 11, and then the other pieces are placed on the upper surface of the partition plate 2. Beverage packs 4, 4, . . . are placed thereon.

By sequentially repeating this operation, the beverage packs 4, 4, . . . can be stacked in multiple stages.

In this case, the beverage packs 4, 4, .
4... can be placed stably.

When reusing it, it is washed with water and reused.
When washing with water, the water that remains in the groove 3 will be drained from the opening at the bottom of the groove 3 or the drainage opening C at the top of the groove 3, regardless of whether the container is turned upside down or upside down. There is nothing left in 3.

In the present invention, as described above, the container is formed of a rectangular frame and a partition plate that divides the inside of the rectangular frame into two upper and lower chambers, and the bottom of the beverage pack whose lower part is stored in the upper chamber above the partition plate is the partition. The upper part of a beverage pack stored in another container placed on the lower level is stored in the lower chamber below the partition plate, which is placed on the top surface of the board, and the top protrusion of the beverage pack is placed on the bottom surface of the partition plate. Since the groove is formed with a downward opening into which the beverage pack is inserted, by fitting the top protrusion of each beverage pack into the groove, the weak top protrusion can be protected, and the container can be easily and easily removed. Beverage packs can be stacked in multiple tiers.

In addition, there is a drainage opening at the top of the groove that communicates the groove and the top side of the partition plate, so even if the container is washed with water when reusing the container, the water in the groove will not drain away when the container is reused. Even if the water is left upside down for a long time, the water in the groove will drain through the drainage opening, and by providing a drainage opening at the top of the groove, it will open up and down, improving ventilation. However, water droplets that adhere to the grooves due to surface tension are often dried out.

Therefore, even if the container of the present invention is washed with water and reused, water will not remain attached to the groove, and as a result, the characters such as the manufacturing date written on the top piece will not stick to the groove. There is no risk of blurring, smearing, or running due to water.
