Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple handle structure for a paper-packed beverage which is easy to hold and which does not overflow from a mouth or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, paper-packed drinks filled with milk, fruit drinks, lactic acid drinks, etc. can be easily purchased at any time and place with the rapid spread of convenience stores and vending machines. It is like this.

As shown in FIG. 8, the above-mentioned beverage in a paper pack has a paper pack 1 formed by folding waterproof cardboard into a rectangular box shape and filled with a beverage such as milk. Open the drinking mouth 1a by peeling off the sticker 2 etc. and drink while tilting the paper pack 1 with the lips directly attached to the drinking mouth 1a, or insert the telescopic straw 3 attached to the drinking mouth 1a into the straw 3 It is something to drink with your lips.

If the paper pack 1 has a side that is easily dented, the beverage will overflow from the mouth, etc., and therefore, a cautionary note and a cautionary note that the paper pack 1 should have a corner that is difficult to dent. Many.

[0005]

However, in reality, infants and the like with small hands often mistakenly have a side that is easily dented, no matter how careful their parents are. Beverage overflows from the mouth,
The hands and chest were often soiled. In addition to infants, children who do not know how to handle, elderly people with disabilities or persons with disabilities, or other people often have a side that is easily dented carelessly. There should be many people who have had their hands and chest soiled with.

The present invention was made based on the experience of the inventor himself as a parent of physically handicapped persons, caregivers, infants, and the like. It is easy to hold a beverage in a paper pack that does not overflow from a mouth or the like. It is an object to provide a handle structure.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to fold a waterproof cardboard into a box and assemble it into a box, which is filled with a beverage such as milk. In the case where the mouth is closed with an openable seal, a handle sheet is made of cardboard or a plastic sheet, and a vertical fold line is formed on this handle sheet, and the valley fold line is used as a boundary. , One side is set as a sticking base and the other side is set as a handle part, and this sticking base part is stuck on the side surface of the paper pack, and when used, the grip part should be approximately perpendicular to the side surface of the paper pack with a valley fold line. The present invention provides a simple handle structure for a beverage packed in a paper pack, which is characterized by being bent in a vertical direction.

According to the present invention, the handle portion of the handle sheet such as thick paper having the sticking base portion attached to the side surface of the paper pack is, when in use, substantially perpendicular to the side surface of the paper pack along the valley fold line. Simply fold it so that the paper pack has a simple handle.

By holding this handle, it is not necessary to pay attention to the corners of the paper pack that are difficult to dent, and carelessly to hold the side that is easily dented. There is no danger of getting out and getting your hands and chest dirty. Further, since the paper pack can be held by the handle, it is very easy to hold the paper pack, and even when the beverage is hot or cold, it is difficult for the hot air or cold air to be conducted to the handle, so that the paper pack is easy to hold. Further, since it is only necessary to retrofit the handle sheet on the side surface of the existing paper pack, the cost is low.

In the handle sheet, a pair of handle portions are formed on both sides of the sticking base portion at the center in the width direction,
A tab portion may be formed at the tip of one of the handle portions, and a slit portion may be formed at the tip of the other handle portion so that the tab portion can be inserted and locked. (Claim 2)

With this structure, the tips of the pair of bent handle portions can be locked by the tab portion and the slit portion, and the pair of handle portions cannot be opened left and right by the bending reaction force. Very easy to hold.

Further, the handle sheet is attached to one of the opposing wide side surfaces of the paper pack, and the lower end of the handle portion is set to be substantially flush with the bottom surface of the paper pack as a leg portion. On the other hand, a leg sheet is made of cardboard or a plastic sheet, and a vertical fold line is formed on this leg sheet.With this valley fold line as a boundary, one is the base for attachment and the other is the leg. The base of this attachment is attached to the lower part of the other side of the wide side face of the paper pack, and the lower ends of the legs are set to be substantially flush with the bottom face of the paper pack. The leg may be bent along the valley fold line so as to be substantially perpendicular to the side surface of the paper pack. (Claim 3)

According to this structure, the bottom of the handle on one side of the wide sides of the paper pack facing each other and the leg on the lower side of the other side have a flat bottom surface due to folding for assembling. It is possible to easily and surely prevent sideways collapse of a paper pack that is light and easy to fall sideways.

As a similar one, there is a disposable paper cup with a folding paper handle. However, unlike a paper pack, a paper cup has a very large drinking mouth, so even if you have a side that is easily dented, the beverage will not overflow from the mouth unless you dent it so much, and moreover, When you hold it with your hand, you can easily see that it easily dents, so there is little risk of carelessly denting it, and since you often hold it with care, the above handle makes the beverage hot or cold. When
It's just to make it easier to hold a paper cup.

Further, in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-26014 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-61021, a paper pack with a handle is proposed, but each of them is a handle which is integrally extended from the folded end of the paper pack. However, since it cannot be manufactured by the existing paper pack manufacturing machine, a new paper pack manufacturing machine needs to be purchased and manufactured, and an expensive paper material is additionally required, resulting in high cost.

It is about 11 cm high. In addition to the cardboard, the paper pack 1 also includes one integrally molded of dentable plastic, and in addition to a square box shape, a polygonal box shape such as a pyramid shape or a cylindrical box shape. is there.

As shown in FIG. 4, the drinking spout 1a at the top of the paper pack 1 is normally closed by a seal 2,
When drinking a beverage, the seal 2 is peeled off and opened. In addition, although there is a type that the seal 2 is pierced by a straw 3 which will be described later and opened, in any type, the drinking spout 1a is provided offset to either side of the narrow side surface 1b or 1d, and the straw 3 is also provided.
Even with the type that breaks open and opens, beside the mouth 1a,
The upper part of the paper pack 1 can be cut off with scissors or the like to open another drinking mouth.

The paper pack 1 has, for example, a narrow side surface 1.
A straw 3 in a transparent bag is removably attached to b.

As shown in FIG. 4, if the narrow side face 1b of the wide side faces 1c, 1e of the paper pack 1 with the drinking spout 1a offset is taken as the front face, for example, the wide side face 1c on the right side of the side face 1c, 1e A substantially rectangular handle sheet 4 made of a plastic sheet is attached. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the handle is held by the finger R of the right hand so that the beverage can be easily drunk from the drinking spout 1a.

The handle sheet 4 is provided with a pair of handle portions 4b and 4c by leaving a sticking base portion 4a at the center in the width direction and cutting both sides into a frame shape with a cutter or the like. An adhesive is applied to the back surfaces of the sticking base portion 4a and the frame portion 4d so that the sticking base portion 4a and the frame portion 4d are stuck to the side surface 1c of the paper pack 1. No adhesive is applied to the back surfaces of the handles 4b and 4c.

At the boundaries between the handle portions 4b, 4c and the attachment base portion 4a, vertical fold lines 4e, 4e are formed at the same time when cutting with the cutter or the like, respectively. 4c is easily bent along the valley fold lines 4e, 4e so as to be substantially perpendicular to the side surface 1c.

The handles 4b, 4c are semi-circular tabs at the tips of the handles 4b, 4c so that the handles 4b, 4c are not bent when they are not in use. When 4f and 4f are raised by fingers, they are naturally cut so that they can be bent.

With the configuration of the first embodiment, the paper pack 1 has the drinking mouth 1a closed with the seal 2, the straw 3 attached to the side surface 1b, and the handle portions 4b and 4c of the handle sheet 4. Is transported and sold in a state where it is not bent (state of FIG. 4). When sold by a vending machine, the straw 3 is conventionally sold in a pasted state, and the handle sheet 4 is used as a handle portion 4.
Since b and 4c are in a flat state without being bent, there is no risk of being caught in the vending machine,
As before, it can be sold without any problems.

When drinking the beverage of the paper pack 1, first, the tab portions 4f, 4f of the handle sheet 4 are raised by fingers, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the handle portions 4b, 4c are respectively.

By sandwiching 4c with the finger R of the right hand, if the finger R (or left finger) of the right hand holds the dented side of the paper pack 1 as in the conventional case, the sticker 2 can be peeled off and drinking at the same time. It is possible to prevent the beverage from overflowing from the mouth 1a.

Then, while holding both grip portions 4b and 4c with fingers R at the same time, the lips are directly attached to the drinking mouth 1a and the paper pack 1 is tilted to drink, or the straw 3 inserted into the drinking mouth 1a is lips. You can drink with.

At this time, the paper pack 1 has two handles 4b,
Since it is sandwiched by 4c, it is no longer necessary to pay attention to the corners of the paper pack 1 that are difficult to dent and carelessly hold the sides 1b to 1e that are easily dented as in the conventional case. Therefore, there is no possibility that the beverage overflows from the drinking spout 1a or the straw 3 and stains the hands, the chest or the like. Further, since the paper pack 1 can be held by both the handle parts 4b and 4c, the paper pack 1 becomes very easy to hold. Further, even when the beverage is hot or cold, it is difficult for the hot air and the cold air to be conducted to the two handle parts 4b and 4c.
It becomes easier to hold the paper pack 1.

The above-mentioned paper pack 1 can be manufactured by an existing paper pack manufacturing machine, and it suffices to retrofit the handle sheet 4 on any one of the side faces 1b to 1e of the paper pack 1. With the handle that is integrally extended from the folded end of the paper, a new paper pack manufacturing machine is purchased or an expensive paper material is additionally required, which increases the cost, but with the paper pack 1 of the first embodiment, Since it is not necessary to purchase an expensive paper pack making machine and no extra expensive paper material is required, the cost is low.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a simple handle structure for a beverage packed in a paper pack according to the second embodiment. The structure basically different from that of the first embodiment is as follows.
