DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a PET bottle storage container for storing PET bottles in a cool state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a plastic bottle container (hereinafter referred to as a conventional example) disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-72714 has been proposed. Here, the PET bottle 1 is a beverage container made of polyethylene terephthalate and is commercially available filled with juice or the like.

As shown in FIG. 7, a heat insulating material 7 is provided in a bottomed cylindrical main body 2 having a cooling function for accommodating a plastic bottle 1, and the plastic bottle storage container is provided with the heat insulating material 7 as shown in FIG.
An annular holding body 9 having a holding part 8 for holding down the heat insulating material 7 is fitted into the main body 2 from above, and the annular middle lid 3 is screwed into the holding body 9, that is, the upper opening of the main body 2. This is a structure in which the cup body 4 is screwed to the lid 3.

A specific usage method is to store the plastic bottle 1 in the main body 2 with the holding body 9, screw the inner lid 3 to the main body 2, and through the inner hole of the inner lid 3 to the neck of the plastic bottle 1. And the shoulder of the plastic bottle 1 is held down by the inner edge of the inner lid 3 to fix the plastic bottle 1 and the cup body 4 is screwed. When taking out the contents in the plastic bottle 1, the cup body 4 is taken out, the cap of the plastic bottle 1 is removed, and the main body 2 is tilted and poured out.

[0005]

The present inventor has made various studies and found that the above-mentioned prior art has the following disadvantages.

In the conventional example, the inner lid 3 and the main body 2 are screwed to each other, and the shoulder portion of the plastic bottle 1 is suppressed by the inner edge of the inner lid 3. To do this, the amount of screwing must be increased.

Therefore, in the case of a small-sized plastic bottle 1, the user cannot fix the plastic bottle 1 unless the inner lid 3 is rotated considerably, which is very troublesome.

Further, if the inner lid 3 and the main body 2 have a screwing structure, dust or the like enters the screwing portion, so that screwing of the two becomes impossible.

Further, since the inner lid 3 and the main body 2 are made of a synthetic resin, even if the inner lid 3 is screwed in a state of being slightly inclined with respect to the main body 2, if the inner lid 3 is rotated by force, the inner lid 3 and the main body 2 are rotated to some extent. Until then, the inner lid 2 is screwed. However, since the inner cover 3 is inclined, the rotation of the inner cover 3 becomes impossible on the way, and the screwing of the inner cover 3 is performed again, or the screwing portion between the inner cover 3 and the main body 2 is damaged.

[0010] The screwing structure is also troublesome in molding.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has as its technical object to provide a PET bottle storage container which is easy to handle.
