Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a small cup container.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

There are small cup containers that store the milk used when drinking coffee or tea, so everyone can use them conveniently. Also, syrups for confectionery such as pudding and jelly are stored in small cup containers for individual use.

However, conventional small cup containers require considerable skill to open. In other words, there is a problem that you cannot open the cup without applying force, and since the air inside the small cup is compressed, milk, etc. in the small cup will blow out when you open it, and it may damage your clothes. There was a problem that it contaminated the etc.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an example of a conventionally used small cup container. Here, 1 is a container main body, 2 is a lid, 3 is a folding opening, 31 is a fold line of the folding opening, and 4 is a fused part. Note that the reference numerals are also used in the embodiments of the present invention. Fifth
In the conventional small cup container shown in the figure, the fold opening 3 of the container body 1 is folded along the fold line 31, and the lid 2 is pulled up to open the fused portion 4 between the lid 2 and the body 1. However, as described above, since the main body 1 and the fused portion 4 are fused together, force is required to open it.

Therefore, the present inventor made it easier to connect the inside and outside of the small cup body by first forming the fold line of the fold opening in contact with the flange of the small cup body.
The company devised a container that was easy to open and did not allow milk, etc. inside the small cup to squirt out when opened (filed on August 6, 1988).

At that time, a protrusion was provided near the end of the folded opening, and by folding from the fold line provided in the folded opening, the lid was formed so that the protrusion could be used to make a hole in the lid. As a result of various subsequent studies, we found that the small cup container also had a hole in the lid using the protrusion to connect the inside and outside of the small cup body, so that when the small cup container was opened, the milk, etc. in the small cup container could be easily removed. It has become clear that this method has an excellent effect of preventing blowouts, and the present invention has been developed.

This invention solves the conventional problems as mentioned above,
It is easy to puncture holes, and when opening the small cup container, the milk etc. in the small cup container may spill out,
To provide a small cup container that does not stain clothes, etc.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object of the invention, the small cup container according to the present invention is characterized by the following structure. In other words, in a small cup container consisting of a small cup main body and a lid, and having a folding opening, a protrusion is provided near the end of the folding opening, and the folding can be carried out along the fold line provided in the folding opening. , characterized in that the protrusion is formed so that a hole can be made in the lid.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the small cup container according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the state in which the lid is folded along the fold line provided at the fold opening and a hole is made in the lid using the protrusion. , FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the third embodiment.

The small cup container shown in the embodiment consists of a small cup body 1 and a lid 2, and is provided with a folding opening 3. Further, a protrusion 5 is provided near the end of the bending opening 3. In the small cup container of the first embodiment, in addition to the folding line 31 of the folding opening 3, a folding line 32 is formed on the outside of the folding line 31, and when the folding line 32 is bent, the portion outside the folding line 32 is formed. forms a protrusion 5, which can be used to make a hole in the lid 2. In the second embodiment, a protrusion 5 is provided in advance at the end of the folding opening 3 so that a hole can be made in the lid when the lid is folded from the folding line 31. A protrusion 5 is provided near the end of the folding opening 3 so that a hole can be made in the lid when the lid is folded along the folding line 31. Since the shape of the first embodiment is almost the same as that of the conventional one, it is easy to modify the mold, and there is an advantage that there is almost no change in production cost. Although the second and third embodiments have a slightly higher production cost and require careful handling of the protrusion 5, there is no risk of the milk, etc. in the small cup spilling out or staining clothes, etc. when used. Therefore, there is more than enough to compensate for the negative effects such as increased production costs.

In use as described above, by folding from the folding line 31 provided in the folding opening 3, a hole can be made in the lid 2 using the protrusion 5.
The inside of the small cup main body 1 is connected to the outside, so that when the welded part 4 of the small cup main body 1 is peeled off, there is no fear that the milk etc. in the small cup container will blow out or stain clothes etc.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the small cup container according to the present invention is easy to puncture, and when the small cup container is opened, the milk etc. in the small cup container may squirt out or the clothes etc. It has the effect of not causing any stains.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawings show embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the small cup container according to the invention, and Fig. 2 shows the folding process after folding from the fold line provided at the folding opening. A perspective view showing a state in which a hole is made in the lid, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the third embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an example of a conventionally used small cup container. DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1... Container body, 2... Lid, 3... Folding opening, 31, 32... Folding line, 4... Fusion part, 5...
