Abstract

Industrial mass production is possible, and M.A.P. (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) is possible while ensuring sealing, and the contents can be displayed in three dimensions and contained in the packaging container It is an object of the present invention to provide a packaged product and a method and apparatus for manufacturing the package container. The packaging container according to the present invention is a packaging container having a bottom surface portion and a side wall portion, a container body having a flange on the periphery of the upper end portion of the side wall portion, and a lid material heat-sealed to the flange, The lid member is made of a film or sheet, and a pair of side wall portions facing each other has the same shape, and at least a part of an upper end portion of the pair of side wall portions is an upper end portion of the other pair of side wall portions facing each other. It is a packaging container in a higher position.

Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging container composed of a main body and a base material, which contains various foods such as lunch boxes, noodles, and side dishes.

In order to make the contents easy to see, a lid made of a transparent sheet or film is used for a packaging container for storing food such as lunch boxes, noodles, and side dishes.
For example, there is a configuration in which a lid made of a sheet is fitted into an opening of a container main body by internal fitting or external fitting, and the container main body and the lid material are covered with a shrink film. In the case of such a packaging container, there are one that covers the entire container body and the cover material with a shrink film, and one that covers a part of the container body and the cover material in a strip shape. Moreover, there exists a thing of the form which fixes a container main body and a cover material with an adhesive tape instead of a shrink film.

  In these packaging containers, the shape of the opening of the container body is not particularly limited, and an arbitrary shape such as a quadrangle, an ellipse, or a round shape is employed. The opening of the container body is provided with a lid material that matches the shape of the opening by internal fitting or external fitting, and the container main body and the lid material are fixed by the shrink film or the adhesive tape. Yes.

  In the above packaging container, the container body and the lid material are fixed by a shrink film or adhesive tape, but the lid material is in a state of being fitted in the container body. There is a problem of spilling when tilted. In particular, when the entire packaging container is covered with a shrink film, the liquid material leaks into the gap between the packaging container and the shrink film, resulting in a very poor aesthetic appearance.

  In addition, whether or not the sealing property in the packaging container can be secured has a great influence on the hygienic aspect of the food and the expiration date, so it is a very important problem in the packaging container that contains the food. The sealability cannot be secured. The form that covers the entire container body and lid with the shrink film seems to be sealed at first glance, but there is a vent hole on the film to allow air to escape when the shrink film is heat shrunk. The sealability is not secured.

  As a form capable of enhancing the sealing performance of the packaging container, there is a structure in which a flange portion is provided on the periphery of the opening of the container body, and a lid made of a film is heat sealed on the flange portion (for example, Patent Document 1) ).

JP 2000-344224 A

  By the way, in recent years, a device has been devised to make the contents look more three-dimensional from the viewpoint of improving the appearance of the contents of the packaging container. However, in the case of the packaging container which can ensure the sealing property, only a flat shape is known. That is, the packaging container having such a shape can adopt any shape such as a quadrangle, an ellipse, and a round as the shape of the opening of the container body, but the height from the bottom surface of the container body to the flange portion can be adopted. It has a constant and flat tray shape. This is because the flange portion needs to be formed on the same plane for the purpose of heat-sealing the lid member made of a film on the flange portion.

  Therefore, the present invention is capable of industrial mass production, can ensure sealing, and can display the contents three-dimensionally, a packaging product accommodated in the packaging container, and manufacture of the packaging container It is an object to provide a method and a manufacturing apparatus.

  As a result of repeated diligent searches to solve the above problems, the present inventors, in a packaging container formed by heat-sealing a lid made of a film or sheet on a flange provided at the periphery of the upper end of the side wall of the container body, It has been found that at least a part of the upper end portion of the side wall portion may be located higher than the upper end portions of the other side wall portions.

  As the shape of such a packaging container, for example, those shown in FIG. 12 (A), FIG. 13 (A), and FIG. 14 (A) were considered. The packaging container shown in FIG. 12 (A) is a packaging container having a rectangular bottom surface (91), with one side wall (92) having a triangular roof shape and the remaining other side wall having a rectangular shape. It is. In the packaging container shown in FIG. 13A, the shape of the bottom surface portion (101) is semi-elliptical, and the shape of the side wall portion (102) rising from the straight bottom surface portion is changed to a triangular roof shape and remains. The height of the side wall portion rising from the elliptical portion is constant. The packaging container shown in FIG. 14 (A) is a circular packaging container in which the bottom surface portion (111) is partially cut out in a fan shape, and the side wall portion (112) rising from the fan-shaped straight portion is circular. The center portion of the bottom wall is the highest and is inclined toward the outer circumferential portion, and the height of the side wall portion standing up from the circumferential portion of the remaining bottom portion is made constant.

  Furthermore, as a modification of the packaging container shown in FIGS. 12A, 13A, and 14A, the upper edge of the side wall portion having the high position and the lower edge of the bottom surface side are substantially the same. What was made into the shape was considered. These packaging containers are shown in FIGS. 12 (B), 13 (B), and 14 (B).

  The packaging container as described above has a problem that industrial mass production is difficult although the contents can be viewed three-dimensionally while ensuring sealing performance. That is, in the conventional packaging container manufacturing apparatus (120) shown in FIG. 15, when the film as the lid is heat-sealed to the flange of the container body, the film is wrinkled and the appearance of the packaging container is impaired.

It is a figure showing an example of the packaging container of the reference example of this invention. It is a figure showing an example of the packaging container of the reference example of this invention. It is the figure showing the outline of the manufacturing apparatus of the conventional packaging container.

The packaging container which concerns on this invention is a packaging container which has a bottom face part and a side wall part, and has a container main body which has a flange in the upper end part periphery of the said side wall part, and the cover material heat-sealed by the said flange. The lid member is made of a film or a sheet. In the container body, the pair of side wall portions facing each other have the same shape, and at least a part of the upper end portion of the pair of side wall portions is higher than the upper end portion of the other pair of side wall portions facing each other. It is in position.
As described above, the conventional packaging container has a flat structure in which the flange at the periphery of the opening of the container body is provided on the same surface. On the other hand, in the packaging container of the present invention, the pair of side wall portions facing each other have the same shape, and at least a part of the upper end portion of the pair of side wall portions is the upper end of the other pair of side wall portions facing each other. Since it is in a position higher than the part, it has a structure in which the flange is not on the same plane, and a three-dimensional feeling can be given while maintaining the sealing performance of the packaging container.
It should be noted that the height of the portion of the upper end of the set of side walls that is higher than the upper end of the other set of opposing side walls is set when the packaging container of the present invention is placed. It is preferable that the height from the placement surface is 1.2 to 2.0 times higher than the height from the placement surface of the upper end of the other pair of opposing side wall portions.

  In addition, since the shape of the packaging container of the present invention is symmetrical, it is possible to provide a sealed container with a three-dimensional feeling while maintaining an atmosphere close to that of a conventional rectangular parallelepiped familiar packaging container. Furthermore, as will be described later, the packaging container of the present invention can be industrially mass-produced without wrinkles on the lid material by improving the conventional packaging container manufacturing apparatus.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of the shape of the container body of the packaging container according to the present invention. The container main body shown in FIG. 1 has a bottom surface portion (11) having a quadrangular shape, a pair of opposing side wall portions (12) having a triangular roof shape, and another set of side wall portions (13) remaining. Is a rectangle. In addition, FIG. 1 shows a triangular container body in which the shape of the side of the upper end of the side wall in which at least a part of the upper end of the side wall is higher than the upper end of the other side wall is convex upward. However, it is also possible to use an upwardly convex arc shape or trapezoid.

  Thus, the height of the side wall portion of the container body is not made constant, the pair of side wall portions facing each other has the same shape, and at least a part of the upper end portion of the pair of side wall portions is another set of facing walls. The packaging container and the contents can be given a three-dimensional effect by being at a position that is higher than the upper end of the side wall portion to be a vertex.

  The material of the container body is not particularly limited as long as it can form a flange having heat sealability. A plastic resin used in a conventional packaging container can be preferably used. Similarly, the lid member may be a film or sheet having heat sealability.

  Further, the flange (14) of the container body may be inclined outward. In general, it is preferable to form the flange so that the flange is substantially horizontal after heat-sealing the flange and the lid, and the flange widths are substantially equal when viewed from above.

  In addition, as described above, the packaging container of the present invention is provided with a flange on the periphery of the upper end of the side wall of the container body, and the flange is heat sealed with a cover made of a film or a sheet. The effect is demonstrated.

  First, the packaging container can be completely sealed. As a result, for example, when the contents are foodstuffs, it is possible to seal the gaps in the cooking chamber environment by completely sealing immediately after containing the foodstuffs, and prevent subsequent contamination (contamination). can do. Further, it is possible to control the air gap in the packaging container, that is, M.A.P. (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), for example, control to nitrogen atmosphere, nitrogen / carbon dioxide atmosphere, nitrogen / carbon dioxide / oxygen atmosphere, etc. It is possible. Furthermore, even if the food contains a liquid material such as sauce, there is no risk of liquid leakage.

  Moreover, the point which can make cover material highly glossy and highly transparent is mentioned. Since the packaging container of the present invention employs a film or sheet for the lid, the upper surface of the packaging container can be made highly glossy and highly transparent. As a result, the contents can be shown more clearly, and a feeling of freshness can be given. Moreover, antifogging property can be provided to a packaging container by apply | coating or making an antifogging agent contain in a cover material.

  In addition, although a lid | cover material may be a single layer or what was laminated | stacked, in order to make said high glossiness and high transparency, a thing as thin as possible is preferable. As the lid material, for example, in the case of a film, a material of about 30 μm or more and less than 150 μm, and in the case of a sheet, a material of about 150 μm or more and 250 μm or less can be favorably used.

In the container of the present invention, the lid material is a flat film or sheet when fed out from a raw roll or supplied as a sheet raw paper, and the shape of the upper edge of the container body before or during heat sealing It is preferable that it is deformed so as to be heat-sealed.
In a conventional packaging container, it is usual that a convex or concave lid obtained by molding a sheet is externally or internally fitted to the container body. On the other hand, the packaging container of the present invention deforms and heat-seals the lid made of a flat film or sheet according to the shape of the upper edge of the container body as described above, so that the lid in the outline No molding is required. Moreover, since unnecessary members such as a shrink film and an adhesive tape are not necessary, waste can be reduced, and further, it is suitable for weight reduction and environmental support.

  Furthermore, easy-openability can be imparted by adjusting the heat seal strength between the container body and the lid member or by providing a protruding knob on a part of the end of the lid member.

  In the packaging container of the present invention, it is preferable that the upper edge portion of the side wall portion having the high position and the lower edge portion of the bottom surface side have substantially the same shape. Thereby, the shape of the bottom face part of the container body also becomes three-dimensional, and a three-dimensional feeling can be given by the inside of the packaging container and the contents. Moreover, since the shape of the bottom face part of the container body is substantially the same as the shape of the lid on the upper surface of the packaging container, a plurality of packaging containers can be stacked up and down. In addition, since the contents of the packaging container are raised, uneven heating of the food can be prevented when heated in a microwave oven. This is because in the microwave oven, it is easier to warm the upper part than the lower part inside.

The container body shown in FIG. 2 is an example in which the shape of the bottom surface of the container body shown in FIG. 1 is substantially the same as the shape of the top surface of the packaging container. That is, the shape of the upper edge of the pair of side wall portions (22) facing each other and the shape of the lower edge portion on the bottom surface side is a convex triangle upward, and the shape of the other pair of facing side wall portions (23) facing each other. Is a rectangle. Moreover, the container main body shown in FIG. 3 is a modification of the container main body shown in FIG. 2, and the shape of the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion on the bottom side of the pair of side wall portions (32) facing each other is a square shape. The remaining pair of opposing side wall portions (33) are rectangular in shape.
The container main body shown in FIG. 4 has another set of remaining side walls, with the upper edge of the pair of side walls (42) facing each other and the bottom edge of the lower edge formed in an upwardly convex arc shape. The part (43) is rectangular. The container main body shown in FIG. 5 has a trapezoidal shape of the upper edge of the pair of side wall portions (52) facing each other and the lower edge portion of the bottom surface side, and the other set of side wall portions (53) is rectangular. Is. In the case of the container main body shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, it becomes easy to put a hand into the space of the bottom surface portion, so that it becomes easy to hold the packaging container and to easily eat the ingredients of the contents.

  Further, the container body of the present invention may have a shape in which a partition is provided on the container body as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (e). In this case, two container bodies are provided in succession. Moreover, the upper surface part of the side wall part used as a partition may be heat-sealable with a cover material, and may not be so.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the packaging container of the present invention has a protruding portion that protrudes downward at a position where the bottom surface portion is substantially planar and can be stacked with another packaging container. By making the bottom surface portion substantially flat (horizontal) in this manner, the contents can be easily packed and the contents can be prevented from being displaced. In addition, a plurality of packaging containers cannot be stacked up and down simply by making the bottom surface portion substantially flat, but a plurality of packaging containers can be stacked by providing a protrusion at a predetermined position of the bottom surface portion. . That is, the protrusions are provided, for example, at the four corners of the bottom surface so as to protrude downward from the bottom surface to an extent corresponding to the height difference between the highest position and the lowest position of the upper end of the side wall. This makes it possible to stack with other packaging containers. In addition, the position and magnitude | size which provide the said projection part are not limited to this, What is necessary is just to be provided so that it can be piled up with another packaging container.

  7A to 7C show an example in which the bottom surface of the packaging container is horizontal and a protrusion is provided. As shown in FIG. 7, it is preferable that the lower edge part of the said protrusion part (65) is a substantially the same shape as the corresponding upper edge part of a side wall part (62) (63). The corresponding upper edge portion of the side wall portions (62) and (63) refers to the upper edge portion above the side wall portions (62) and (63) where the protrusions (65) are provided.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the protrusion (65) below the side wall (62) having a trapezoidal upper edge is inclined so as to be parallel to the inclination of the upper edge (FIG. 7 (b)). . Further, the protrusion (65) below the side wall (63) having a horizontal upper edge is horizontal so as to be parallel to the upper edge (FIG. 7 (c)).

  In this way, the bottom surface portion (61) is substantially flat (horizontal), and has a protruding portion (65) protruding downward at a position where it can be stacked with another packaging container. 61) There is a space below. This space makes it possible to stack with other packaging containers, and at the same time makes it easier to pick up the packaging containers. In addition, as described above, the heating unevenness of the food can be suppressed when heated in the microwave oven.

Furthermore, the packaging container of the present invention has a function in which the lid material automatically opens the steam hole provided in the lid material by the pressure of the steam generated when the contents of the packaging container are heated by a microwave oven. Is preferred. Thereby, it can heat with a microwave oven, without peeling a part of film or sheet | seat which is a lid | cover material of a packaging container in advance, and is excellent in convenience.
As such a lid material, for example, a film used in Seiro Pack (registered trademark) can be used (see Japanese Patent No. 4,175,583).

  In addition, in order to give the packaging container an automatic opening property, at least a part of the flange and the lid member of the heat-sealed container body has a lower sealing strength than the other parts, and the container is contained in the packaging container. It is also preferable to have a function of peeling and opening with the pressure of steam generated when an object is heated in a microwave oven. In order to do this, for example, the width of a part of the flange provided on the peripheral edge of the side wall of the container body may be narrower than the width of the other part.

  A packaged product such as a lunch box in which foodstuffs are contained in the packaging container of the present invention is easy to visually recognize the foodstuffs as contents, and is also excellent in three-dimensional appearance. Furthermore, since the packaging container is sealed, it is excellent in hygiene and the expiration date can be extended.

The manufacturing method of a packaging container according to the present invention is a manufacturing method of a packaging container including a step of transferring a plurality of container main bodies side by side and continuously heat-sealing a lid material on a flange of the container main body.
In one aspect of the method for manufacturing a packaging container according to the present invention, the container body is disposed and transported so that a pair of side wall portions facing each other is perpendicular to the transport direction of the container body.
A lid member made of a film or sheet is fed from a feed roll and supplied to the upper side of the container body via a dancer roll. Further, in order to heat-seal the lid and the flange of the container body without generating wrinkles in the lid, the lid is formed in the shape of the upper edge of the pair of side wall portions facing the container body. It is preferably deformed into substantially the same shape.
