Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of a box-shaped container, and more particularly to a box-shaped container that makes it convenient to take out the contents and measure the length.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there have been various methods of winding a linear or band-shaped article into a spherical or coiled shape and storing and selling the product in a box-like container.

However, although these conventional box-shaped containers have been devised to make it convenient to store and/or take out the contents, they have not been devised to make it convenient to guide or measure the length of the removed items.

In over-the-counter sales of linear or band-shaped articles, it is necessary to take out the article and measure the desired length. Conventionally, the article was taken out of the container and measured using a separate ruler or the like.

Since such a method has various inconveniences, the present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of study.

That is, the present invention is a substantially square box-shaped container with a notch on one edge, and an outlet for the contents is provided at one end of the side of the notch, and the outlet is provided on the side of the notch. A conductor is provided to guide and conduct the contents drawn out from the outlet, and a length measurement scale is provided on the side of the box-shaped container that is in contact with the notch and located on the opposite side of the outlet. It is a box-shaped container.

The box-shaped container according to the present invention is suitably used for storing and selling linear articles such as wires, electric wires, and rubber cords, and strip-shaped articles such as ribbons, various tapes, and hook-and-loop fasteners known as the registered trademark Magic Tape. It goes without saying that this is not limited to the above example.

The material of the box-shaped container according to the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be made of paper, plastic, composite materials thereof, metal, etc.

An example in which the content is a surface fastener will be explained below as a representative example.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an example of a box-shaped container according to the present invention.

1 is a substantially rectangular box-shaped container, the size of which is
The thickness can be changed appropriately depending on the type and amount of contents.

The container 1 has a substantially rectangular shape with a notch 2 at one edge thereof, and an outlet 3 for the contents is provided at one end of the side of the notch.

The shape of the outlet 3 can be arbitrary, such as a slit or a circle, depending on the shape of the contents.

In FIG. 1, it is in the form of a slit for taking out a strip.

Also, as described later, when the box-shaped container is made of paper,
It can also be made in an assembled manner, and in that case, the gap between the assembly paper pieces can be used as an outlet without actively providing a slit.

A conductor 5 for guiding and conducting the contents 4 taken out is provided on the side of the notch part 2 to prevent the contents once taken out from being pulled back into the container or being disturbed outside and becoming unorganized.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the conductor is effective in stabilizing the position of the contents during length measurement, which will be described later.

The conductor 5 can be made of various materials and have a variety of structures, and can be made into a bridge shape, a hook shape with one end open, or a ring shape by using a linear body other than the shown band shape. can.

A scale 7 for length measurement is provided on the side 6 of the box-shaped container 1, that is, the side in contact with the cutout 2 and opposite to the outlet 3, by any method such as printing, engraving, pasting, etc.

By doing so, the contents 4 drawn out from the outlet 3 can be easily guided onto the side 6 through the conductor 5, and the necessary length can be measured using the scale 7.

Since the contents after cutting are held by the conductor 5, the contents are arranged in an orderly manner as shown in FIG.

The scale 7 may be provided on a side other than 6 of the box-shaped container, but in this case, the user will have to stretch the scale to the side for length measurement after taking out the contents, making it less convenient to use. few.

It is most economical to manufacture the box-shaped container according to the present invention by assembling the entire paper, but in that case, a window is provided on any side of the box-shaped container in order to visually check the amount of contents. It is good to provide 8.

If the window is made of transparent or translucent material, such a window is not necessary.
