Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cup-shaped container for iced confectionery made of synthetic resin.

A conventional container for storing iced sweets such as Mizore was constructed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. That is, it has a cup-shaped container body 1 formed by vacuum forming, and an upper opening 2 of the container body 1 is closed by a disc-shaped lid 3. This container body 1 has an unevenness formed on its outer peripheral wall, and these unevenness 4 cause the ice sweets such as Mizore stored inside to become a lump, and the inside of the container body 1 It was designed to prevent it from rotating. Further, on the outer circumferential side of the container body 1, ribs 5 for preventing blocking are formed extending in the circumferential direction.
The ribs 5 prevent blocking when a plurality of container bodies 1 are stacked, thereby making automatic filling possible.

As described above, the conventional container body 1 for storing iced sweets such as Mizore has unevenness 4 for preventing rotation and ribs 5 for preventing blocking on its outer circumferential surface. It cannot be constructed with a flat curved surface, and therefore has the disadvantage that printing cannot be applied to the outer circumferential surface. Furthermore, it is not possible to display various types of information such as bar codes, which hinders rationalization of production or sales.

The present invention was developed in view of these problems, and by providing a means at the bottom of the bottom to prevent the ice sweets such as Mizore stored inside from turning into a lump, the outer peripheral surface of the ice confectionery The object of the present invention is to provide a container for iced confectionery which has a flat curved surface so that various types of printing or display can be performed on the outer surface.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 3 and 4 show a container body 10 for storing ice sweets such as Mizore according to an embodiment of the present invention, and this container body 10 is made of synthetic resin by vacuum forming. It is configured in a cup shape. A disk-shaped lid 12 is attached to the upper opening 11 of the container body 10. Furthermore, this container body 1
A protrusion 13 is formed on the bottom of the container body 10 to prevent ice sweets such as sleet stored therein from becoming a lump and rotating within the container body 10. This protrusion 13 is formed to protrude inward from the bottom of the container body 10, and furthermore, an unevenness 14 is formed on the outer circumferential side of this protrusion 13. Note that the unevenness 14 has a rectangular shape, so that when the protrusion 13 is viewed from above, it has a shape almost similar to a gear. Further, a rib 15 for preventing blocking is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 10, and this rib 15 prevents blocking when a plurality of container bodies 10 are stacked. Note that the rib 15 is the container body 1.
It is provided on the upper side on the outer peripheral surface of 0.

As described above, the ice candy container 10 for storing sleet, etc. according to the present embodiment is provided with a protrusion 13 at the bottom to prevent rotation of the ice candy stored therein, and also has a blocking feature. Since the prevention ribs 15 are located upward on the outer peripheral surface, a wide flat curved surface is formed on the outer surface of the container body 10, especially on the lower side of the ribs 15. Therefore, various types of printing can be applied to this portion. Alternatively, a bar code or the like may be displayed. By displaying this barcode, it becomes possible to streamline logistics. Note that after the container body 10 is filled with Mizore sweets, etc., the upper opening 11 of the container body 10 is covered with a lid 12,
A lid 12 is heat-sealed to the edge of the opening 11 so that it can be used for circulation.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to an illustrated embodiment,
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG.
By making the shape of the protrusion 13 provided with 4 into an undercut, this protrusion 13 serves to prevent the ice confectionery such as Mizore stored in the container 10 from rotating, and also to prevent the container 10 from blocking. be able to do it. In this case, the width of the protrusion 13 in the diametrical direction
The diametrical width of the upper end of the protrusion 13 may be increased, thereby forming the protrusion 13 into an undercut shape. By doing this, even when a plurality of containers 10 are stacked on top of each other, the protrusions 13 do not engage with the protrusions 13 of other container bodies 10, and thereby the container bodies 10 Blocking can be prevented. Therefore, with such a configuration, there is no need to form anti-blocking ribs on the outer surface of the container body 10.
Printing and various displays can now be performed over a wider range.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
The shape of the protrusion 13 formed at the bottom of the can be changed to various shapes other than those of the above embodiment, and may have a star-shaped unevenness 14 as shown in FIG. . Alternatively, it is also possible to make the unevenness even more irregular. However, in this case, if the size of the unevenness 14 is too small, the ice sweets such as Mizore stored in the container body 10 will become a lump and will be prevented from rotating in the circumferential direction within the container body 10. I won't be able to do that. Therefore, it is preferable to form relatively rough unevenness.

As described above, the present invention has a protrusion on the bottom that has unevenness all around the outer circumferential surface to prevent the ice confection from rotating. There is no need to form unevenness. Therefore, the outer circumferential surface of the container body is formed into a flat curved surface, and it becomes possible to perform various kinds of printing and display on this outer circumferential surface. In addition, since the rotation prevention protrusion formed on the bottom is almost circular and flattened, the spoon hardly gets caught when eating the iced confectionery, allowing you to smoothly take out the iced confectionery and eat it. becomes possible. Moreover, since the concavities and convexities for preventing rotation of the ice confectionery are formed alternately in the circumferential direction over the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the protrusion on the bottom, rotation of the ice confectionery can be effectively and reliably prevented. becomes possible. Furthermore, since this container is integrally constructed by vacuum forming, it not only has a simple structure but also can be manufactured efficiently, making it possible to provide a low-cost container for iced confectionery. .
