Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention has a superior stacking property, especially in a height direction, when a product of various shapes is displayed at a retail store without opening the contents. The present invention relates to individual packaging for over-the-counter sales.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, paper boxes have been mainly used as individual packaging containers for over-the-counter sales of various shapes and colors. When displaying a car box at a mass retailer or the like, the inside is not visible, and the number of clerks is so small that there is no person to explain. Even if it is a product originally demanded by the consumer, if the shape is not visible, the understanding of the product is insufficient and the purchasing power may be reduced. This tendency is particularly remarkable in new products.

[0003] There is also a method of storing in a transparent plastic box instead of a paper box. In this case, if the instructions are put in a box, the product is difficult to see, and it is necessary to print on the transparent plastic. If printed on a transparent plate, it is better than a manual, but the contents are still hard to see, and the luxury of the products is lost. In addition, boxes are used in which paper boxes are provided with windows made of a transparent material so that the contents can be seen.However, windows can only show a part of the products, which means that the appearance is not good and the cost is high. There were drawbacks.

[0004] An individually packaged container made of one molded transparent sheet, wherein side plates extend from opposite sides of a bottom plate via inward folding lines, respectively, and sides of both side plates facing the inner folding line. There is disclosed an over-the-counter personal packaging container of a type in which the contents are sealed by bringing them into close contact with each other. This container is in a state where the product is sandwiched between transparent plastic plates provided with a bulge corresponding to the shape of the product, and the transparent plastic plates are in close contact with each other in a portion where there is no product. Therefore, by sandwiching the instructions printed on the paper between the close contact portions of the plastic plate, the appearance of the entire product and the instructions can be simultaneously shown to the consumer, which is a preferable individual packaging container.

[0005]

However, there is a disadvantage that the above-mentioned individual containers cannot be stacked in the height direction. The manner in which goods are displayed is important for sales promotion, and for that purpose, individual containers suitable for effective display are required. In a storefront display, a particularly preferred case for a new product is that the consumer can see the entire form of the product at a glance.
It is also important that the necessary explanations can be read without opening, and that the appearance is excellent. Furthermore, in order to display at a store with a limited area, it is necessary to display many commodities in a narrow place in a form that strongly appeals to consumers, and there has been a demand for individual containers stacked in a height direction.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has a transparent plate having side plates extending from opposing sides of a bottom plate via inward folding lines. In an individual packaging for over-the-counter sales, in which the contents are hermetically sealed by bringing the sides facing the infold line of the plate into close contact, the bottom plate rises almost vertically on the side sandwiched by the infold line and the bottom side Form a surface, is a gable roof-shaped mountain shape with both inner fold lines as valleys, the side plate is in a state where the side plate is closed, and the surface of the side plate base is one of the mountain-shaped inner fold line to the ridge line The front surface bends at an angle at which both side plates are in close contact with each other through the outer fold line that matches the ridgeline,
The side of the side plate that is in contact with the inward fold line rises almost vertically, forms side side surfaces that are in contact with the base surface and the front surface, and has a bottom recess in the center of the bottom plate that can be used to place content items. At the center of the product, there is a side plate recess large enough to hold the contents placed in the bottom recess with both side plates closed and easy to stack individual containers in the height direction with both side plates closed. A means for fitting to is provided.

According to the present invention, a bottle with a cap and a can, particularly a cap having a nozzle, a flared type, a trigger shape, and the like, shoes, and other features that are desired to be emphasized on the side by being displayed upright. It is preferably used for products that cannot be stacked vertically.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The transparent plate used in the present invention is made of a transparent plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, polyester, polypropylene, polystyrene and the like, copolymers and polymer blends thereof, and various deep squeezing sheets. Can be. These materials can be formed into a predetermined shape by using an injection molding method, a deep molding method, or the like. A preferred molding method uses a sheet for deep drawing that exhibits excellent spreadability by heating, and molding is performed while sandwiching and stretching the heated sheet between a predetermined male and female mold. A commercially available sheet can be used as the sheet for deep drawing.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention in which side plate recesses are omitted for easy understanding of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention in which side plate recesses are illustrated in FIG. FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2 opened, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the center line of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a side view showing a stacked state of the containers of FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the center line of FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a side view showing a stacked state of the containers of FIG.

The individual packaging container of the present invention is made of a transparent plastic sheet and has a bottom plate 1 and an inward folding line 2 extending from opposite sides of the bottom plate.
Is a sheet formed by integrally molding two side plates 3 extending through the bottom plate 1 and a base surface 8 of the side plate (a side close to the bottom plate).
Then, when the side plates 3 are brought into close contact with each other, the front surface 9 of the side plate is also closed. A bulge (bottom dent 6 and side plate dent 11) is provided at the center in conformity with the shape of the product, and a means for easily fitting individual containers in the height direction with both side plates closed is provided.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a bottle shape, but in this embodiment, a can of liquid wax with a trigger was stored. As the sheet for deep squeezing, a hard vinyl chloride resin sheet having a thickness of 0.6 mm manufactured by Mata Eika Co., Ltd., trade name "Mataeron" was used. The physical properties softening temperature 58 ° C., the transverse tensile strength 535kg / cm ^2, longitudinal tensile strength 550 kg / cm ^2, elongation longitudinal direction 85
%, And 70% in the horizontal direction. The container of the present embodiment is composed of one sheet having many irregularities. This container is bottom plate 1
And two side plates 3 extending from both ends of the bottom plate 1 via the inner folding line 2. Therefore, the two opposing surfaces of the bottom plate 1 are the inward fold lines 2, and the triangular bottom side surface 4 rises substantially perpendicularly from the side sandwiched between the two inward fold lines 2. A ridge line 5 connecting the vertices of the bottom side surface is formed in parallel with the inner folding line 2. Reference numeral 6 denotes a bottom depression. If bottom dent is not formed, bottom plate 1
Is a gable with a gable roof shape. Since the bottom depression 6 is formed leaving the periphery of the bottom plate 1, a mountain shape remains on both sides of the bottom plate,
A gable-roof-shaped slope remains at a portion near the inner folding line 2.

The side plate 3 includes a base surface 8 and a front surface 9 via an outer fold line 7. When the base surface 8 is aligned with the slope of the bottom plate, the ridge line 5 and the outer fold line 7 coincide with each other. Are molded so that the surfaces 9 at the end of each other are also in close contact with each other. Inner fold line 2 of side plate
The side that is in contact with the upper surface rises substantially perpendicularly, and forms a side surface 10 that is integrally provided with the base surface 8 and the front surface 9. Therefore, when the side plates 3 are closed, the side view has a triangular shape in which the bottom side surface 4 and the side side surface 10 are in contact with each other. When the content item is placed on the bottom recess 6, the swelling in accordance with the bulge of the item is not provided on the side plate 3, so that the surfaces 9 cannot be matched. Numeral 11 is a side plate depression adapted to the shape of the product. Reference numeral 12 denotes a fitting groove provided in the center of the bottom recess 6 substantially in parallel with the inner folding line 2.

The shape immediately after the molding is a side shape as shown in FIG. 3. When the inner fold line 2 is bent so that the both side plates 3 are brought into close contact with each other, the shape shown by the imaginary line is obtained and further bent. They adhere to each other. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the center line of FIG. 3. However, if hatching is provided on the cross section because the container material is thin, the drawing is difficult to understand, so it is represented by a normal line.
The part seen in the distance and the position of the sheet are represented by thin lines.
(Similarly in FIGS. 6 and 7) The side plate recess 11 is adapted to the shape of the content product, but a deep recess is formed in the lower surface of the sheet 13 to form a placement surface 14 near the front end of the front surface 9 and substantially perpendicular to the side plate. Was formed.

When the arrows indicated by phantom lines in FIGS. 3 and 4 are further rotated to bring the front surfaces 9 into close contact with each other, the side surfaces shown in FIG. 5 are obtained. As is clear from FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the further end of the front surface 9 has a plate-like shape and protrudes to form a fitting ridge 15. That is, the side surface has a triangular pyramid shape formed by the bottom side surface 4 and the two side side surfaces 10, and the mounting surface 14 and a bulge supporting the mounting surface protrude in the depth direction, and a fitting protrusion is formed at the vertex of the triangular pyramid. The ridge 15 protrudes.

The fitting ridge 15 is a fitting groove 1 provided on the back surface of the bottom plate.
2, when two or more individual containers are stacked, the fitting ridge 15 of the lower container fits into the fitting groove 12 of the upper container, and the weight of the upper container. To the mounting surface 1 of the lower container
4 supports, and the fitting of the fitting ridge 15 and the fitting groove 12 prevents mutual positional deviation. At the store, when the products are stacked in this way, the customer can always see half of the contents without taking up space, and the effect of appealing the products is great.
In addition, if the paper is the same shape as the side plate and is cut out into the shape of the side plate recess, or paper smaller than this shape, describe the description, catchphrase, trademark, manufacturer name, etc. Without reading, you can read the instructions and the like while viewing the entire surface of the product, which is useful for sales promotion.

In the shape of this embodiment, since the sheet material is present all around the mounting surface 14, the strength of the mounting surface 14 is improved by being protected by these sheet materials, and the weight of 700 g can never be stacked vertically. The products with the shape were stably piled up three or more stages.

FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show another embodiment. As shown in the side view of FIG. 6, the front surface 9 forms the mounting surface 14 via a tip outside fold line 18 at a position near the tip,
This mounting surface 14 is provided continuously with the sheet 13. Moreover, the mounting surface 14 has such an inclination as to form a mounting recess 16 having a fan-shaped cross section centering on both side plate contact surfaces as shown in FIG. 8 when the side plate 3 is closed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the bottom plate forms a mounting mountain surface 17 at the center, and the inclination of the mounting dent 16 and the inclination of the mounting mountain surface 17 are in a relationship where the side plate 3 is closed. .

Therefore, when a container in which contents are stored and the side plate 3 is closed is placed vertically, and another identical container is vertically stacked, the mounting recess 16 is placed as shown in FIG. 17 and the mounting surface 14 supports the weight of the upper container, so that the container can be stably stacked vertically and a large area can be displayed to a customer. In FIG. 8, a portion shown by a broken line is a space for accommodating content products.
