Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flap (lid) cover for a roll storage case and a roll storage apparatus which store a roll around which film for food packaging such as plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or cooking paper is wound.
  • a roll storage case 100 has a rectangular parallelepiped-like case 101 normally shaped generally like a rectangular parallelepiped and including an open upper surface and a flap 102 that covers the open upper surface of the case 101 .
  • the flap 102 has an upper surface portion 103 , a front surface portion 104 , and side surface portions 105 located on opposite sides of the flap 102 in a longitudinal direction thereof.
  • a rear end side 103 a of the upper surface portion 103 is connected to the case 101 .
  • the flap 102 can move rotationally using the rear end side 103 a as an axis to open and close the open upper surface of the case 101 .
  • a cutting edge 106 that cuts film is provided at a lower end portion of the front surface portion 104 .
  • the flap 102 When film for the roll storage case 100 is used, the flap 102 is opened, and a necessary amount of film 108 on a roll 107 is drawn out. Then, the flap 102 is closed, and with tension applied to the film 108 , the film 108 is cut into a desired length using the cutting edge 106 of the front surface portion 104 .
  • the film 108 is cut a number of times before the film 108 is used up.
  • the front surface portion 104 or upper surface portion 103 of the flap 102 on which a load is placed, may be deformed.
  • the roll storage case 100 is often used in a place with much moisture such as a kitchen, and is thus likely to be deformed by absorbing the moisture.
  • the flap 102 with the cutting edge 106 is deformed, the film 108 fails to be properly cut and may be torn. Furthermore, hooking a user's finger on the roll storage case 100 is difficult, and thus, the flap 102 is difficult to open and close.
  • the film 108 may be drawn out with the flap 102 imperfectly opened and hence come into contact with the cutting edge 106 , causing the film 108 to be torn.
  • the film 108 may be cut with the flap 102 imperfectly closed and hence wound back around the roll 107 . Then, the roll storage case 100 may be difficult to use.
  • a flap reinforcing cover that covers the flap has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).
  • the flap reinforcing cover is attached to a surface of the flap of the roll storage case, and is held and rotationally moved to open and close the flap.
  • the flap reinforcing cover needs to hold the flap.
  • the holding is achieved by forming a tongue-like elastic body on a side surface of the flap reinforcing cover and pressing the tongue-like elastic body against the side surface portion of the flap, which is located inside the tongue-like elastic body.
  • the side surface portion of the flap is also pressed against the side surface portion on the inside of the case.
  • the side surface portion of the flap is sandwiched between the tongue-like elastic body and the side surface portion of the case, making the flap difficult to open. Furthermore, opening and closing the flap many times gradually reduces the pressing force of the tongue-like elastic body.
  • the flap reinforcing cover may slip off from the flap.
  • the present invention provides a flap cover removably installed on a flap of a roll storage case storing a roll around which film is wound, the flap cover including an upper plate covering an upper surface portion of the flap, a front plate covering a front surface portion of the flap, and a pair of side plates covering opposite side surface portions of the flap, wherein each of the side plates is provided with a locking portion which projects inward from the side plate and which is able to be locked on a lower end surface of the side surface portion of the flap.
  • the flap is held by the flap cover by locking the locking portion of each of the side plates of the flap cover on the lower end surface of the corresponding side surface portion of the flap. This prevents the side surface portion of the flap from being pressed inward as in the case of the conventional technique, increasing the easiness with which the flap is opened. Furthermore, the flap cover can be prevented from slipping off from the flap even when the flap is opened and closed many times.
  • the front plate may include a projecting portion projecting forward and extending in a lateral direction.
  • a user's thumb can be hooked on the projecting portion to rotationally move the flap cover.
  • the flap can be easily opened and closed by a reduced force.
  • the projecting portion may be recessed in a center thereof. In such a case, for example, the user's thumb can be easily hooked on the projecting portion to more easily open and close the flap.
  • the locking portion may have a horizontal upper surface formed along a front-back direction of the side plate. In such a case, the locking portion is suitably locked on the horizontal lower end surface of the side surface portion of the flap.
  • the front plate may include a cutting edge formed on a lower end portion of the front plate to cut film.
  • the flap cover can be used for a simple roll storage case with no cutting edge attached thereto.
  • the cutting edge may be formed on a part of the lower end portion of the front plate.
  • the cutting edge can form in film just a scratch that serves as a start point of cutting. This makes it possible for the film to be cut by extending the scratch.
  • a cut end surface of the film is prevented from being notched, restraining the film from being torn in a longitudinal direction thereof.
  • the cutting edge may be formed by forming recesses and protrusions on a back surface of the lower end portion of the front plate.
  • the user's finger can be restrained from coming into touch with the cutting edge while the roll storage case is in use. Furthermore, even upon coming into touch with the cutting edge, the user's finger is prevented from being hurt.
  • the front plate may include an edge cover covering the cutting edge of the flap.
  • the user's finger can be prevented from coming into touch with the cutting edge of the flap while the roll storage case is in use.
  • Each of the side plates may extend downward from the locking portion.
  • the roll storage case can be stably placed longitudinally on a flat surface (placed with one of the side plates of the roll storage case on a flat surface).
  • each of the side plates may extend downward from a bottom surface of the roll storage case. In such a case, the roll storage case can be more stably placed longitudinally on a flat surface.
  • the bottom surface of the roll storage case is disposed in such a manner as to hang in the air, hindering heat from being transmitted to the film inside the roll storage case even when the roll storage case is positioned in a place that becomes hot, for example, on a microwave oven. This enables possible alteration of the film to be suppressed.
  • the front plate may have a replaceable structure.
  • the front plate may selectively have a favorable shape or pattern.
  • the front plate portion can be exclusively replaced when the cutting function is degraded.
  • Another aspect of the present invention provides a roll storage apparatus having a roll storage case and a flap cover for the roll storage case which is able to be attached to the roll storage case.
  • the aspects of the present invention allow the flap of the roll storage case to be easily opened and closed and can prevent the flap cover from slipping off from the flap of the roll storage case even when the flap is opened and closed many times.

  • the flap cover 1 may be designed by coloring or printing or may be transparent. If the flap cover 1 is transparent, characters or pictures on the surface of the roll storage case 100 are visible even when the flap cover 1 is installed.
  • the flap cover 1 is placed in front of the roll storage case 100 .
  • the flap cover 1 is installed on the flap 102 by being inserted over the flap 102 from a front side so that the locking portion 22 of the flap cover 1 is placed under the lower end surface of the side surface portion 105 of the flap 102 .
  • the upper surface portion 103 , the front surface portion 104 , and the side surface portions 105 of the flap 102 are covered by the flap cover 1 .
  • the flap 102 is locked on the flap cover 1 by the locking portion 22 .

  • the front plate replacement portion 51 may be exclusively replaced if, for example, the cutting performance of the cutting edge is degraded.
  • the front plate 11 may be partly replaceable as in this example or wholly replaceable.
  • the front plate replacement portion 51 front plate main body 50
  • the removal structure need not necessarily be formed like a slide, but any other structure may be used.
  • the edge of the lower end portion of the front plate 11 in the above-described embodiment may have a linear shape, an arched shape (an upward protrusion), or V shape (a downward protrusion) so as to be able to deal with any cutting edge shape for linear cutting or central cutting.
  • the edge may be formed to conform to the shape of any other cutting edge.
  • the locking portion 22 need not necessarily be shaped to project like a horizontal plate as in the case of the above-described embodiment.
  • the locking portion 22 may have another shape, for example, the locking portion 22 may project in the horizontal direction and then be curved or bent upward.
  • the present invention is not limited to plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and cooking paper but is applicable to a flap cover for a roll storage case storing a roll around which any other film is wound.
  • a measurement method and an evaluation method used in an example and a comparative example are as follows.
  • a draw-out force is an indicator for a draw-out property, and a smaller value of the draw-out force indicates that the film can be drawn out by a weaker force.
  • the draw-out force is measured by the following method. Plastic wrap adjusted to a film width of 30 cm and wound around a paper tube is set in a roll-like jig that can be easily rotated by a very weak force. An end of the film is fixed to a jig with a width of 330 mm which is coupled directly to a load cell of a tensile tester. Then, the maximum value of stress generated when the film is drawn out at a speed of 1,000 mm/min is measured. The measurement is carried out at a constant temperature of 23° C. and a constant humidity of 50%. The measurement is carried out ten times, and the resultant average value is adopted. Evaluation criteria are as follows.
  • a flap cover 1 with a length Y of 50 mm to the lower end portion 23 of the side plate 12 shown in FIG. 13 was installed on a roll storage case for Saran Wrap (manufactured by Asahi Kasei Home Products Corporation; 30 cm ⁇ 20 m).
  • the roll storage case was placed on a hot plate with the temperature thereof adjusted to 100° C. so that the lower end portion 23 of the side plate 12 contacted the hot plate, whereas the bottom surface 110 of the roll storage case 100 avoided contacting the hot plate.
  • the roll storage case was left untreated for 30 minutes.
  • the internal wrap was removed from the roll storage case, which was left untreated at a constant temperature of 23° C. and a constant humidity of 50% for 30 minutes.
  • the draw-out force was measured.
  • the draw-out force was 50 cN, and the film was successfully easily drawn out by a weak force of 50 cN.
  • a tin cutting edge was removed from a roll storage case for Saran Wrap (manufactured by Asahi Kasei Home Products Corporation; 30 cm ⁇ 20 m).
  • Saran Wrap manufactured by Asahi Kasei Home Products Corporation; 30 cm ⁇ 20 m.
  • About 30 cm of the plastic wrap inside the roll storage case was drawn out and cut. Then, the plastic wrap was flawed at a widthwise end thereof, and using the flaw as a start point, a tear of the plastic wrap propagated to the opposite widthwise end of the wrap.
  • the plastic wrap was successfully cut by a weak force.
  • the present invention is useful in allowing a flap of a roll storage case to be easily opened and closed using a flap cover and in preventing the flap cover from slipping off from the flap of the roll storage case even when the flap is opened and closed many times.
