Description

Egg plate structure {CONTAINER FOR STORING AN EGG}

The present invention relates to an egg plate structure. More specifically, the present invention relates to an egg plate structure capable of safely storing and transporting eggs.

In a poultry farm, a plate of a specific standard, which has been conventionally used for storing and transporting the produced eggs, is a rectangular panel in which a plurality of cup-shaped egg seats in which eggs are seated are arranged in a lattice form, and is usually made of paper.

Here, the egg plate is used only in the step of storing the eggs in a poultry farm or supplying a large amount of eggs to wholesalers, and then discarded without being recycled. The reason why the use of the egg plate is limited to wholesalers is that the egg plate is weak in durability due to its material properties and its appearance is not beautiful, and the egg plate simply serves to support the egg from below due to its structural characteristics. This is because the egg is separated from the egg plate and is not suitable for carrying eggs. In addition, the conventional egg plate is because the stored eggs are exposed to the outside because there is a risk that the eggs are broken or dirty even with a small external impact.

Therefore, wholesalers usually repackage the eggs supplied from the poultry farm and supply them to the retailer. At this time, a packaging container of synthetic resin material is used to completely wrap the eggs so that consumers can purchase small amounts of eggs and easily transport them.

Here, the packaging container can prevent the eggs from being contaminated from external contaminants such as dust or bacteria, but the eggs could not be safely stored because the packaging container of the synthetic resin material was damaged or bent under a small impact.

In addition to this, the packaging container of the resinous resin material is opaque or translucent, so the consumer cannot observe the eggs in detail due to the material properties, and there is also a problem in maintaining the freshness of the eggs because it is not ventilated.

Furthermore, the packaging containers of such synthetic resin materials are preferably collected and recycled after use in terms of environmental protection, but in most cases they are simply discarded and are not decomposed naturally due to their material properties, thus causing environmental pollution.

As a result, during the distribution of eggs, different containers are used in stages to store and transport the eggs until they are produced at the poultry farm and sold to the end consumer. There is a problem that it is a cause of environmental pollution by recycling without recycling. Therefore, a new egg plate that can safely and easily carry eggs in the retail distribution process as well as wholesale distribution process is required.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an egg plate structure in which eggs can be safely stored and transported in a vertical as well as a horizontal state.

According to a first embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, the egg plate structure includes a cuboid box, a handle, a cover, a partition and an egg storage unit. Specifically, the upper portion of the rectangular box is open and the handle is attached to the first side wall portion to the rectangular box. The cover includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may be connected to the second side wall portion of the rectangular box facing the first side wall portion so as to be folded, and may cover an open upper portion of the rectangular box. The second portion is connected to the first portion so as to be foldable, and an opening through which the handle is inserted is formed. The partition is attached to the bottom surface of the rectangular box to extend substantially parallel to the first and second sidewall portions of the rectangular box. The egg storage portion is located between the bottom portion and the partition, the eggs are seated, the center line is formed with at least one groove forming an angle of 30 ° to 40 ° with the bottom portion.

According to a second embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, the egg plate structure is connected to the third and fourth side wall portions of the rectangular box connecting the first and second side wall portions so as to be folded inwardly, respectively. It may further include a containment.

According to the present invention, the egg storage portion of the egg plate structure is formed with at least one groove on which the egg is seated at an angle of 30 ° to 40 ° with the bottom portion of the rectangular box. Therefore, the egg seated in the groove may not be separated from the groove even when the egg plate structure is in the horizontal state as well as in the vertical state.

In addition, the egg plate structure may further include a blocking that can prevent the gap that may occur when the cuboid box and the cover is combined. Therefore, the egg seated on the egg plate structure can be stored more securely.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the egg plate structure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Therefore, those skilled in the art may implement the present invention in various other forms without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. In the accompanying drawings, the dimensions of the components are enlarged than actual for clarity of the invention. When components are referred to as "first," "second," "third," or "fourth," they are not intended to limit these components but merely to distinguish them. Thus, it can be used selectively or interchangeably for the "first", "second", "third" or "fourth" components, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 1, the egg plate structure 100 includes a cuboid box 10, a handle 20, a cover 30, at least one partition 40, and an egg storage unit 50.

The rectangular parallelepiped box 10 may be made of a material made of a paper material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, which is open at the top thereof, but is not limited thereto.

The handle 20 is attached to the first sidewall portion of the cuboid box 10. The handle 20 may be formed of a plastic material or a generally used cloth material, but is not limited thereto. For example, the handle 20 may have various shapes such as a convexly curved shape with respect to the attachment surface.

The cover 30 is foldably connected to the second side wall portion opposite the first side wall portion to which the handle 20 is attached, and may cover the open upper portion of the cuboid box 10. And a second portion 30b connected to the first portion 30a so as to be foldable and having an opening 1 into which the handle 20 is inserted.

When the cover 30 covers the cuboid box 10, the cover 30 is inserted into the opening 1 formed in the second portion 30b of the cover 30 while the cover 30 is inserted into the cuboid box 10. It is relatively firmly fixed to the.

In addition, in order for the lid 30 to effectively cover the cuboid box 10, the first portion 30a and the second portion 30b of the lid 30 are respectively formed with the bottom portion and the first side wall portion of the rectangular box 10. It is preferable to have the same size.

Here, the cover 30 is preferably configured integrally with the rectangular box 10, in which case the lid 30 may be formed using substantially the same material as the rectangular box 10.

At least one partition 40 is attached to the bottom surface of the cuboid box 10 to extend substantially parallel to the first and second side wall portions of the cuboid box 10. Partition 40 is preferably made of a paper material that can absorb shock, such as cardboard or cardboard. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the cross section of the partition 40 may be a triangle, but is not limited thereto.

The egg storage unit 50 is located between the bottom portion of the cuboid box 10 and the partition 40 and has at least one groove 2 on which the eggs are seated. Here, the center line of the groove 2 preferably forms an angle of substantially 30 ° to 40 ° with the bottom portion of the rectangular parallelepiped box 10. More preferably, the center line of the groove 2 may be at an angle of substantially 30 ° with the bottom portion of the cuboid box 10.

Since the center line of the groove 2 is substantially at an angle of 30 ° to 40 ° with the bottom portion of the rectangular parallelepiped box 10, not only the egg plate structure 100 is horizontal but also vertically. Eggs seated in) may not be released from the groove (2).
