Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a product container. [Prior Art] Pulling, t come 'Modern society makes a lot of waste, and many tumors == plastics and/or metals with very slow rate of dissolution. If these materials are not ’ ‘, they will only be dumped in the ocean or waters, or they will be disposed of in the landfill. The hoist will take a long time to be decomposed. ^Reducing wastes that are permanently present in landfills, and developing bio- and/or compostable containers have excellent prospects. However, in recent years, in order to solve the problem of 'defective' and retail, the use of plastic materials in the "clamshell" package to gradually package the product has gradually increased. The main appeal is that the package can clearly see the package when purchasing. Content in the middle. This type of packaging often causes problems when it is used to contain perishable items, especially those that need to be maintained within a constant humidity range, mainly because this type of packaging does not allow precise control of internal humidity. Therefore, the crane will accelerate the corruption of the contents. Clamshell packaging (such as those proposed by Hayes in U.S. Patent No. 6,845,978) also poses environmental problems, especially as consumers have come to believe that the use of environmentally damaging behaviors is such that The willingness to purchase the seed package is reduced. In addition, the plastic knee basket is also used to hold a variety of fruit, and it is usually biodegradable, thereby increasing the waste of landfill 201107200. 0 It is known that there are paper product containers, such as Maxwell. (Maxwell), U.S. Patent No. 2,8/3, No. 28,8, Japanese Patent No. 6,156,469, to Dm, No. 26, and Avery, U.S. Patent No. 4,982,872. And the disclosure of LAM Aim) et al. in WIPO Patent Publication No. 2008/076075. Although most of the paper product containers are biodegradable, in addition, other disadvantages of the lid-type packaging have not been solved. Therefore, how to produce a biodegradable container, which enables consumers to see the contents of the material in a variety of degrees, and also accurately control the tolerance of the H, has become an important issue. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises apparatus, systems and methods for exposing a container for containing a product or other perishable item. The container comprises a network-aged network structure and the network structure has a fiber side two, / 氐. The mesh structure comprises a plurality of mesh units. Special mention must be made: Text: The term "product" used means the fruit, vegetables and shoulders:::, of course, 'other products (such as non-edible products) may also, the network structure contains plural (four) units And these shouting units have a visually non-closed net a /, Π疋一司 η II used in this article "net" "non-door into 3 rules or irregular patterns. In this article The word "^" used means that in normal room _ light intensity τ, at least 7 201107200, light can pass through the mesh, and as defined herein, includes a state that is slightly opaque, or at least the amount of light that can pass through The colored glass windows are in the same state. For example, the above-mentioned net may be a structure in which a mesh-like mesh-like shape is 70, or a structure in which a denser network unit is denser than the surrounding area. Additionally, the mesh described above may have a regular structure including, for example, but not limited to, a pattern formed by a diamond or square mesh unit. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total apparent area of the mesh is at least 4% by weight of the total apparent area of the mesh structure, and more preferably at least 5% by weight of the total apparent area of the mesh structure. And the best is at least 60% of the apparent surface of the network structure. The "apparent area" of the basket used in this paper is the outer surface area of each side of the basket, each wall surface and the upper cover. For example, 匕', for example, even if the basket has a concave bottom, the entire outer surface of the bottom at 4 points of the depression belongs to the portion of the apparent area of the mesh M. However, the side of each mesh is not included in the apparent area of the basket when compared to the outer surface of the mesh unit. In addition, if the net is not provided with a cover or other closed unit, the apparent area does not include the upper opening portion. It is to be expressly stated that unless the context specifically indicates otherwise distinct, the scope of the reference herein should be construed to include the term. In addition, the open scope used here should be interpreted as .only used to include the actual value of =. Similarly, unless stated otherwise in the context, the values listed are considered to include the intermediate values. Z may optionally be provided - or a plurality of film layers, which preferably cover the sum of the apparent areas of the mesh. Preferably, the film layer is substantially moon-shaped, but the translucent film layer is not excluded. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, various constituents of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the related drawings, and the same elements will be described with the same reference numerals. ... Please refer to Figure 1, the basket 1 is used to hold the product. The mesh may include a rigid mesh structure 102, and the mesh structure 1〇2 has a side wall and a bottom 106. It should be particularly noted that the side wall (10) of the basket preferably has a mesh structure different from the bottom 106. In addition, the mesh structure (10) may also optionally be provided with an upper cover (not shown). * The basket 1G0 preferably has a mesh structure 1 () 2, a closed bottom 1 〇 6, an upper end opening 108, and a fiber side wall 1 〇 4. Among them, the mesh structure is moved to protect the content _ sex to avoid fragmentation. The Net Blue (10) is designed to withstand up to 5G 剌 without significant deformation. Preferably, the basket is capable of withstanding at least 5 pieces, at least 1 () broken, at least μ stone side, at least 20 pieces, and more preferably capable of withstanding at least 3 (four) external forces without significant deformation. As used herein, "fiber sidewall", the sound product contains a wall of fibrous material, and the fibrous material is a member of the wall structure. Preferred fiber sidewalls in the present invention have at least 5%, 1% by weight, or even a view of the fibers by weight of their fibers. Preferably, the fiber sidewalls comprise fibers having 80% or 90% of their dry weight. As used herein, "fibrous material" - the term means a material that is characterized by a plurality of discrete fibers. The filamentous fibers can be obtained by extracting from plants or animals' or by synthetic methods or in combination. In addition, the term "plant extract fiber" means that at least a plurality of filamentous fibers in the fiber 201107200 are derived from plant bodies such as wood, papyrus, rice, plant trees, plant fibers, cotton, yucca, Hemp, bowstring marijuana b West smell linen. In general, the paper material can be regarded as a kind of fiber material, which is formed into a basket by the wetting and dehydration process of the wet fiber. In the case of the biodegradability (4), for example, the die cut paper is included. Dle eutpaper), rubberized cardboard fibers and other fibrous materials. As used herein, "biodegradable material" - the term means - a material that can be decomposed in the soil by naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, etc. over a period of six months. 90%, and the result is private, Γη C〇2, and a wide-ranging job.) For example, meat, plants, wood, cotton, animal proteins, and paper can all be considered biodegradable. The egg basket 100 has a rectangular cross section, but the cross section may also be circular, round, or any other suitable shape for the manufacturer. ^ The network structure Η) 2 preferably comprises a plurality of mesh-like phantoms 1(), and thus the unit m together constitutes a network structure (10). Each mesh unit _ defines at least one Αβ eight hole (1) of a mesh 112. The mesh 112 defines the complex mesh as compared with the second == the closed mesh m makes it possible to use the closed 5 hole. Visually, the content is not seen, and the top or bottom of ==100 does not move the inner grain out of the basket 100, that is, the county has no need to open the top cover for the net blue provided with the upper cover.疋 In the present invention, it is difficult to implement the shot, and the sum of the apparent areas of the 纟·112 is at least the sum of the apparent areas of the structure. More preferably, it is at least _' of the total area of the cousin of the mesh, and is preferably at least 〇% of the total area of the mesh structure 201107200. The packet-shaped mesh unit 110 defines a regular pattern, and may also define a mesh 112 of a smashing shape. Of course, the mesh 112 (four), ^ other rule patterns, for example, include diamonds, circles, and defined size holes. In addition, the mesh 112 may also have an irregular pattern, for example, including those shown in Figures 3 and 4. The number, length and area of the Fangfei 2 structure can be changed according to the use of the basket and the degree of rigidity and rigidity. So, for example, it is used to hold it. The tamper may have a smaller mesh structure than the net 1 containing the apple. 2: The mesh may be of any size and shape suitable for production, such as round, square and rectangular. Referring to Figure i, the basket (10) may comprise a film layer 120 and cover the mesh 112 at least a portion of at least _ 2, preferably covering the surface area of the ❹m Preferably, preferably at least covering the basket 100 such that the film layer 120 is preferably transparent, or at least translucent, such that the user sees the basket _ through the film layer 12G while maintaining the basket 100 internal fishing. The film layer 120 is fixed to the basket by pasting or other means suitable for production. The film layer m preferably has a permeability sufficient to provide sufficient water resistance within the mesh blue (10) limit. Among them, the period of use is preferably 14 days 』 = better system can be up to 28 days.
