Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a support for supporting paper containers used for noodles and other instant foods, coffee, tea, etc.

Conventionally, such paper containers, particularly paper cups used for coffee and tea, have been provided with movable handles on the outer surface of the container.

However, since such a handle requires a separate handle member to be attached by hand to the outer surface of the paper cup, it takes a lot of time to manufacture and increases the cost.

Moreover, due to its structure, the weight of the tip is placed on the base of the handle, a part of the wall of the tip, so the tip itself has to be made of thick paper.

For this reason, there has recently been a strong demand in the industry for a support device that can stably support thin paper tips, is convenient to use, and is effective in the mass production of paper tips. However, currently no such thing exists.

The present invention satisfies the above requirements with an extremely simple structure, and provides a novel support for paper containers, etc., which saves labor in manufacturing operations and is convenient in practical use.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

The drawing shows the state in which a support 2 according to the present invention is attached to a known paper tip 3 and is supported.

The support tool 2 of the present invention is completely separated from the paper tip and combined when used. For example, the paper material is made into a product by performing creasing, incision, and cutting in one process by Thomson processing.

That is, in the surface of a substrate 21 whose outer periphery is in an arbitrary shape such as a circle, a polygon, a flower shape, etc., a substantially circumferential cut line 22 and a fold 23 are provided between both ends of the cut line to make the cut line continuous. The handle 3 that can freely rise and fall on the inside surrounded by the cut line 22 and the fold line 23 and the hole created there by the upright position of the handle 3 are called container support holes 44.
A bearing ring 4 is formed.

The handle 3 has two fold lines 31 from both ends of the fold 23.
．． 31 is attached, and the outsides of both folding lines 31 and 31 are bent outward to correspond to each other to form a photographing piece 32 and 32, and a support piece that can be bent inward is provided at the tip. 33
A hook is provided to support the bottom of the container.

The support piece may be provided with a V-shaped notch at the tip of the handle 3, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. .

The container support ring 4 is formed into the planar shape of the container by adding a circular folding line 41 along the outer periphery of the base plate 21 and in line with the paper tip.
Cuts 42 are provided at appropriate intervals between the adjacent cuts 4.
The support piece 43 is provided with support pieces 43 that can be raised and lowered between 2° and 42 degrees, and the inner surface of each support piece 43 presses the side surface of the paper cup that fits into the support ring 4 to support it.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the container support ring 4 is provided with a handle 3, and the handle 3 may be provided directly protruding from the opposing outer edge of the support ring 4, as shown in the figure, or may be attached to the first Similarly to the embodiment, a cut line is formed in the plane of the base plate 21 to form handle pieces separated into left and right parts at the center, and each handle piece is bent outward from below and protrudes to both sides of the support ring. You can also use eggplant.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, an elliptical hole is formed in the plane of the substrate 21, and the hole is used as a container support hole 44, and the minor axis diameter 45 of the ellipse is adjusted to the bottom diameter of the container. By forming the substrate, the substrate and the paper container are deformed and fit together, and are locked to the outer periphery of the container by the restoring force of the materials.

In this case, the handle selects and implements each of the above embodiments.

Although not shown in the drawings, reinforcing protrusions may be added to the outer periphery of the base plate 21 or at necessary locations on the handle 3 to strengthen the entire support, or within the plane of both photographic pieces 32, 32 of the handle 3. A window hole 34 for finger insertion may be formed in the hole 34.Also, in the illustrated example, the cut line 22 has a substantially circular shape, but the cut line 22 is not limited to this, and may be rectangular or square depending on the paper container used. Cutting into arbitrary shapes such as polygons, and printing the company name, design, etc. on the surface of the support 2 are carried out within the technical scope of the present invention. Of course, it is not limited.

Therefore, the support 2 is separated from the paper tip 1 and supplied as a set.

Now, to use the paper tip, use the handle 3 of the support 2.
After bending each support piece 43 downward, the paper cup 1 is fitted into the support hole 44 to be supported.

At this time, each support piece 43 is brought into face-to-face contact with the tip, and the restoring force of the material is applied.

Next, by hooking the support piece 33 of the handle 3 on the bottom surface and bending both the photographic pieces 32, 32 outward so that they correspond to each other, the paper cup 1 can be attached to each support piece 43, 33 and the handle 3. It is elastically bonded to the inner surface and stably supported.

In the supported state, the weight of the paper tip 1 is equal to the weight of each supporting piece 43.
and distributed over the supporting piece 33 at the bottom of the handle 3, so that the attachment of the handle is not concentrated at the root, unlike in a conventional cup with a handle.

As described above, in the present invention, the handle 3 is integrated and continuous with the support ring 4 that fits and locks on the outer periphery of the container 1, and the diameter of the support hole 44 in the support ring 4 corresponds to the planar shape of the container. Since the handle 3 is provided with a plurality of support pieces 43 that can be raised and lowered to elastically support the container, and the handle 3 is provided with a support piece 33 that supports the bottom of the container at the end of the photographing piece 32, when fitting the support hole into the container. The support piece is pressed against the side wall of the container and bent, so that the diameter of the support hole can be made to correspond to the planar shape of the container.

In addition, the weight of the container is absorbed by each support piece of the support ring that comes into contact with the container around the entire circumference of the support hole and presses it upward, and furthermore, the support piece of the handle that continues integrally with this support ring presses the bottom of the container upward. Therefore, the load is distributed and supported, and the container is stably supported.

Therefore, the container itself does not require stiffness or strength, and can be effectively applied to thin paper cups, achieving the purpose of the invention.
