[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is packaged as a content of foods and beverages such as seasonings and beverages, cosmetics, chemicals, detergents, etc., which are liquid, pasty, powdery, and those in which small volumes of solids are mixed. More specifically, the distribution packaging body in which these contents are accommodated in the pocket portion is pinched with a finger of one hand, bent, and poured out from the opening generated by the bending. It is related with the distribution packaging body made into the structure which can be smoothly poured out even if it is the content in which it was mixed, without clogging an opening part with a solid substance in the middle of pouring.

In other words, all of these distribution packages have a pocket portion formed by adhering the peripheral edge of a flexible container body to the back surface of a relatively solid and flat sheet-like lid, and the contents are contained in the pocket portion. In addition to enclosing the object, the axis passing through the center of the surface of the lid is formed as a fold line with a cut (half cut) about half the thickness of the lid material so that the lid can be easily folded. In order to facilitate the pouring of the contents, a projection having a pyramid shape or a truncated cone shape is provided at the center of the axis.
In use, the package is sandwiched between fingers, the lid is bent into a V shape so as to press both sides of the pocket centering on the axis of the lid, and provided on the folding line or line of the lid. The contents are poured out from the opening produced by destroying the protrusions.
[0004]
In addition, each of the distribution packages described in JP-A-63-162460 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-1419 has a “communication portion” below the fold line of the lid, The structure communicates with the communication part. And these communication parts have the shape (refer to sectional drawing of FIG. 6) where the upper ends of the side walls of the pocket portions on both sides are pointed and connected below the fold line, or the upper ends of the pocket portions are bent horizontally in a horizontal plane. It is a connected shape (see the perspective view of FIG. 5).
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, these conventional distribution packaging bodies sandwich the packaging body between fingers, and when the lid is bent into a V shape so as to press both sides of the pocket centering on the axis of the lid, the pockets in the communication portion are accordingly associated with each other. The connecting part of the lid is lifted (swelled) upward (in the direction of the back of the lid), and the opening formed in the lid by bending may be blocked as a wedge-shaped plug from the back side of the lid or may be completely blocked . As a result, smooth dispensing of the contents is obstructed, or if the contents contain a small volume of solids, the openings are likely to be clogged with solids, making it impossible to dispense. There was a problem.
[0006]
The object of the present invention is to solve such problems, and in use, the opening formed by rupturing the lid is not closed again by the connecting portions of the pockets forming the communication portion, and is small solid. An object of the present invention is to provide a distribution package having a structure capable of smoothly pouring out of an opening including contents.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the distribution package of the present invention includes a lid of a hard material having a folding line provided with a half-cut portion at the center of the surface, and a rim portion fixed to the back surface of the lid and both sides of the folding line. A flexible member container body having a pocket portion, and each pocket portion is in communication with a communication portion having a structure with a substantially horizontal plane below the folding line of the lid. A predetermined length inward from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal plane is left as a horizontal plane, and both ends in the width direction of the remaining portion are cut obliquely downward . The first portion of the shape cut obliquely downward is hereinafter referred to as “ridge line portion”.
[0008]
With such a structure, when the lid is bent, the horizontal plane below the circulation portion is lifted upward, and the predetermined area portion abuts against the back surface of the lid, and a part of the folding opening is closed. Even in such a case, the section in which the horizontal planes of both predetermined areas are continuously connected does not reach the point where the opening is straddled on the line at the ridge line portion. In other words, the ridge line part is supported by the horizontal surface even if the folding of the lid proceeds as the horizontal planes on both sides of the ridge line part are in contact with and locked to the lid part. In spite of the fact that both sides are sloped, it does not become a wedge due to being wedged into the opening. In addition, the contents in the pocket are further slid out and poured out smoothly from the opening by forming the slopes extending obliquely downward on both sides of the ridge line portion.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments thereof.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of an embodiment Q of a distribution package according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view of FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. FIG. 5 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing an example of a conventional distribution package having a horizontal flow path, and FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing another example of a conventional distribution package having a pointed flow path. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG.
[0011]
In FIG. 1, the lid 1 of the distribution package (hereinafter also simply referred to as “packaging”) Q is a hard material that can be bent such as synthetic resin (for example, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or polystyrene copolymer). The thickness is about 320 μm. On the fold line (also referred to as an axis) at the center of the surface of the lid 1, a half cut 2 and a projection 3 subjected to the half cut 2 are formed. As a result, when the lid 1 is bent, the projection 3 and the axis that have been subjected to the half-cut 2 are broken and the opening is easily formed. Reference numeral 4 in the figure denotes a container body having an upper peripheral edge fixed to the back surface of the lid 1, and has a structure in which pocket portions 5 and 5 are formed on both sides of the lid 1. Further, the pocket parts 5 and 5 contain the contents A mixed with the solid material K (see FIG. 4), and have a structure in which they can communicate with each other via the space communication part 6 below the folding line (FIG. 2). reference).
[0012]
The communication part 6 of the packaging body 1 of the present embodiment has horizontal surfaces 6 ′ and 6 ′ as the bottom surface forming the communication space, a ridge line part 7 connecting the horizontal surfaces 6 ′ and 6 ′, and inclined surfaces 7 ′ and 7 inclined downward on both sides of the ridge line part 7. '(See Fig. 3). Therefore, as in the conventional packaging bodies Q ₂ and Q ₃ shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the communication portion 6 between the pocket portions 5 and 5 is simply connected by a horizontal plane 6 ′ or a sharp line (ridgeline) 7. The container body 4 made of a flexible member is not a shape but a shape obtained by three-dimensionally combining them in the vertical direction.
In addition, in a present Example, each part of the package which has the same structure and effect | action on a drawing attaches | subjects the same code | symbol for convenience.
[0013]
Hereinafter, the operation of the distribution package of the present invention will be described with the use modes of the examples.
The distribution package Q has the above-described configuration, and the contents A containing the solid material K accommodated in the pocket portions 5 and 5 are completely sealed at the fixing portion between the back surface of the lid 1 and the peripheral edge portion of the upper surface of the container body 4. Has been. When pouring out the contents A, the lid 1 of the distribution package Q is first directed downward with the fingers half of the fold line that is half-cut 2 and pinched with the fingers. The pockets 5 and 5 formed on both sides of the lever are bent into a V shape so as to draw each other. By this folding operation, first, the half cut portion 2 on the folding line is broken open to form a spout for the contents. By proceeding with the bending operation as it is, the communicating portion 6 is pushed upward (in the direction of the back surface of the lid 1), and the horizontal surfaces 6 ′ and 6 ′ abut against the back surface of the lid 1 and are locked. At this time, the horizontal planes 6 ′ and 6 ′ substantially block the partial area of the breaking opening from the inside of the packaging body Q only at the abutting portion. Is prevented, and the ridge line portion 7 connecting the horizontal planes 6 'and 6' is not lifted any more, and the opening portion of the lid 1 corresponding to the ridge line portion 7 is not in a closed state in which a wedge is driven. The open state is maintained. Therefore, by proceeding with the bending operation of the lid 1 as it is, even if the content A is a mixture of solid matter, it is smoothly poured out from the opening portion of the package 1 from the opening portion corresponding to the ridge line portion 7.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, the distribution packaging body of the present invention has a structure in which the shape of the communicating portion below the fold line of the lid does not close the opening caused by the fold of the lid. However, it can be poured smoothly without clogging of solid matter in the opening.
In addition, the shape of the communication part is a three-dimensional combination of a horizontal plane, a ridgeline, a slope, etc., so even if it is a container of a flexible member, it will be difficult to lose its shape during storage, and it will have a good-looking distribution. It can be manufactured as a package.
