Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container holder used when a container such as a vial bottle is transported.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a container holder is used for transporting a container such as a vial bottle.
[0003]
The container holder includes a partition plate at the center in the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate, and includes left and right inner plates bent in a square shape on the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates. A plurality of elliptical container support holes corresponding to the diameter of the container are formed. Then, by dropping the container into each container support hole formed in the inner surface plate along the partition plate, the left and right half portions of the outer peripheral surface of the container are held by the peripheral edge portion of the container support hole of the inner surface plate. Is set. After a predetermined number of containers are held in such a container holder, the container holder is accommodated in a transport container and transported as appropriate (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-49710 related to the applicant's application).
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the container accommodated in the container holder described above is held by the peripheral edge portion of the container support hole of the left and right inner surface plates whose substantially right and left halves of the outer peripheral surface are bent in a square shape, and the container support hole On the side facing the line plate, it is in line contact with the partition plate. For this reason, when an unintended external force is applied in the front-rear direction of the container holder, the container rotates in the front-rear direction with the peripheral edge of the container support hole of the inner surface plate as a fulcrum and falls down.
[0005]
In addition, when the bottom wall of the container is thinned, there is also a drawback that the bottom plate cannot absorb the shock when dropped and the bottom wall of the container is easily damaged.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a container holder that can reliably prevent the container from falling down.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, a left side plate, a left inner side plate wider than the left side plate, and a sticking piece are sequentially connected via a fold to the left end edge of the bottom plate, and a right side plate, A right inner surface plate and a sticking piece that are wider than the right side surface plate are successively connected via a fold line, and the left inner surface plate and the right inner surface plate are spaced apart from the fold lines with the left and right side surface plates, respectively. Intermediate folds are formed, and a plurality of elliptical container support holes corresponding to the outer diameter of the container accommodated with the intermediate folds interposed therebetween are formed to face each other, the left inner plate and the right The inner plate was bent into a square shape along its intermediate fold, and each sticking piece was formed to face the left inner plate and the right inner plate when stuck to the left and right side plates or the bottom plate. The peripheral edge of each container support hole is the outer peripheral surface of the container It is characterized in retaining the substantially one lateral half portion at different height positions.
[0008]
According to the present invention, when the container holder is assembled by folding along a crease and sticking a predetermined portion, the left inner plate and the right inner plate bent in a square shape so as to protrude inward. The vertices made by each intermediate fold are at different height positions. Therefore, when the container is stored in the opposing container support holes of the left and right inner plates, the substantially right and left half of the outer peripheral surface of the container is held by the peripheral portion of the container support hole formed in the left inner plate, and the container The left and right other half portions of the outer peripheral surface of the container are held by the peripheral portions of the respective container support holes formed in the right inner surface plate so as to face the container support holes of the left inner surface plate at different height positions.
[0009]
As a result, even if an external force in the front-rear direction acts on the container holder, it is possible to reliably prevent the containers held at different height positions from falling sideways.
[0010]
In the present invention, in the vicinity of the left and right edges of the bottom plate, a plurality of U-shaped cuts starting from the left edge and the right edge are formed at set intervals, respectively, and the bottom plate and the left and right side plates When the container holder is assembled, the support pieces by the U-shaped cuts are continuously formed at the lower edge of the left and right side plates when the container holder is assembled. Is suspended. Therefore, even if the container holder is accidentally dropped, the support piece first contacts the floor surface and absorbs a part of the impact, so the impact at the time of dropping does not directly act on the bottom plate, and the container Damage can be prevented as much as possible.
[0011]
In the present invention, when the sticking pieces are connected to the upper and lower end edges of the bottom plate via folds, respectively, and the folding pieces are connected to the upper and lower end edges of the left and right side plates via the fold lines, respectively. When the container holder is assembled by attaching the adhesive pieces to the left and right folding pieces, the container holder is integrated into a box shape. For this reason, it is not necessary to hold the left and right side plates perpendicular to the bottom plate, and when the assembled container holder is accommodated in the transport container, the operation can be easily performed.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a container holder 1 of the present invention.
[0014]
The container holder 1 holds a container B (see FIG. 3) such as a vial, and after punching out the coated ball according to the development shown in FIG. 4, it is folded along the crease and a predetermined portion is pasted. Wear and assemble. Then, after a predetermined number of containers B are stored in the container holder 1, the two container holders 1 are accommodated in a transport container 10 (see FIG. 2) separately assembled and transported.
[0015]
In the development view of FIG. 4, the container holder 1 has a left side plate 3L on the left end edge of the bottom plate 2 in which the adhering pieces 6 are connected to the upper and lower ends via folds d, and is wider than the left side plate 3L. The left inner surface plate 4L and the sticking piece 5 are connected in series through the folds a, b, c, and the right side plate 3R at the right end edge of the bottom surface plate 2 and the right inner surface plate 4R wider than the right side surface plate 3R. And the sticking pieces 5 are successively provided via the folds a, b, c, and the folding pieces 7 are provided continuously at the upper and lower edges of the left and right side plates 3L, 3R via the folds e. ing. The left side plate 3L, the left inner surface plate 4L and the sticking piece 5, and the right side plate 3R, the right inner face plate 4R and the sticking piece 5 are formed symmetrically with respect to the bottom plate 2.
[0016]
On the other hand, in the left inner surface plate 4L, an intermediate fold f is formed in the vicinity of the fold c with the sticking piece 5, and a plurality of elliptic container support holes 4La are formed with the intermediate fold f interposed therebetween. . Similarly, in the right inner surface plate 4R, an intermediate fold g is formed in the vicinity of the fold b with the right side plate 3R, and a plurality of elliptical container support holes 4Ra are formed with the intermediate fold g interposed therebetween. .
[0017]
Each container support hole 4La, 4Ra corresponds to an ellipse formed when the container B to be stored is cut at a set angle with respect to the center line, and has a short axis substantially corresponding to the diameter of the container B. Located at the intermediate folds f and g, the short axis is shared, and the half of the long ellipse is formed on the left side of the intermediate folds f and g, and the half of the long ellipse is formed on the right side. The whole is formed in a substantially egg shape.
[0018]
Here, the container support hole 4La of the left inner surface plate 4L and the container support hole 4Ra of the right inner surface plate 4R have the same shape and are formed so as to be opposed to each other right and left. The distance from b is different from the distance between the intermediate fold line g and the crease line b on the right inner surface plate 4R, and a large ellipse having a long axis is formed in the same direction. is there.
[0019]
Furthermore, the bottom plate 2 is formed with a plurality of U-shaped cuts h at the set intervals at the left and right edges in the vicinity of the left edge and the right edge, respectively. The fold lines a and a between the bottom plate 2 and the left and right side plates 3L and 3R are intermittently formed so as to be continuous with the start point of the U-shaped cut h described above.
[0020]
Here, the plurality of U-shaped cuts h formed near the left and right edges of the bottom plate 2 are formed symmetrically.
[0021]
Next, an assembly procedure for the container holder 1 configured as described above will be described.
[0022]
First, after punching out the court ball in accordance with the development view of FIG. 4, the left side plate 3L is valley-folded along the fold line a with respect to the bottom plate 2 with respect to the bottom plate 2 and left with respect to the left side plate 3L. The inner surface plate 4L is valley-folded along the crease b. Further, the left inner surface plate 4L is valley-folded along the intermediate fold line f, and the sticking piece 5 is mountain-folded with respect to the left inner surface plate 4L. Next, an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the sticking piece 5, and the sticking piece 5 is stuck to the inner surface of the left inner plate 3 </ b> L so that the outer edge of the sticking piece 5 follows the fold line a between the bottom plate 2 and the left side plate 3 </ b> L. To do.
[0023]
Similarly, the right side plate 3R is valley-folded along the crease a with respect to the bottom surface plate 2, and the right inner surface plate 4R is valley-folded along the fold line b with respect to the right side plate 3R. Further, the right inner surface plate 4R is valley-folded along the intermediate fold line g, and the sticking piece 5 is mountain-folded with respect to the right inner surface plate 4R. Next, an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the sticking piece 5, and the sticking piece 5 is stuck to the inner surface of the right inner plate 3 </ b> R so that the outer edge of the sticking piece 5 follows the fold line a between the bottom plate 2 and the right side plate 3 </ b> R. To do.
[0024]
Then, after folding each sticking piece 6 along the fold line d with respect to the bottom plate 2 and after folding each folding piece 7 along the fold line e with respect to the left and right side plates 3L, 3R, As shown in FIG. 1, the container holder 1 is formed by applying an adhesive to the inner surface of each sticking piece 6 and sticking the sticking piece 6 to the outer surfaces of the left and right folding pieces 7 and 7.
[0025]
In this state, when viewed from above, the substantially semicircular notches formed by the elliptical container support holes 4La and 4Ra formed in the left and right inner plates 4L and 4R are opposed to each other, and the sticking piece 6 When viewed from the front with the folded pieces 7 and 7 removed, the left and right inner surface plates 4L and 4R are folded in a square shape so as to form a hypotenuse of triangles with the intermediate folds f and g as vertices. It protrudes toward. Here, the height positions of the intermediate folds f and g are different (see FIG. 3).
[0026]
In addition, when the left and right side plates 3L and 3R are valley-folded along the fold line a by the U-shaped notches h formed in the bottom plate 2, the support pieces are continuously connected to the lower edges of the left and right side plates 3L and 3R. 31 (see FIG. 3) is suspended. For this reason, the bottom plate 2 is supported at a position separated from the floor surface.
[0027]
When the container holder 1 is assembled in this manner, the containers B can be sequentially accommodated in the opposing container support holes 4La and 4Ra of the left and right inner surface plates 4L and 4R. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, in each container B, the substantially left half of the outer peripheral surface of the container B is held by the peripheral edge portion of the container support hole 4La formed in the left inner surface plate 4L. The substantially right half of the outer peripheral surface is held by the peripheral edge of the container support hole 4Ra formed in the right inner surface plate 4R. Moreover, as described above, since the heights of the vertices (intermediate folds f, g) of the left and right inner surface plates 4L, 4R bent in a square shape are different from each other, One half is respectively hold | maintained in the height position which differs with the peripheral parts of container support hole 4La and 4Ra which were mentioned above.
[0028]
When a predetermined number of containers B are stored in the container holder 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the containers are stored in a transport container 10 separately assembled with two container holders 1 as a set, and are transported appropriately.
[0029]
Here, even when an external force in the front-rear direction is applied to the container holder 1 during transportation, the container B is tilted sideways in the front-rear direction because the left and right halves are held at different height positions. Is prevented and can be reliably held in an upright state.
[0030]
Even when the container holder 1 is accidentally dropped when the container holder 1 is accommodated in the transport container 10, the support piece 31 first contacts the floor surface and absorbs a part of the impact. The impact at the time of dropping does not act directly on the face plate 2. For this reason, it can prevent as much as possible that the container B is damaged by the impact at the time of dropping.
[0031]
In addition, in embodiment mentioned above, although the case where each sticking piece 5 was stuck on the inner surface of each of the left and right side plates 3L and 3R was illustrated, you may make it stick on the inner surface of the bottom face plate 2. In this case, the crease c between the sticking piece 5 and the left and right inner side plates 4L, 4R may be stuck along the crease a between the bottom plate 2 and the left and right side plates 3L, 3R.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when the container holder is assembled and the container is accommodated in the container support holes opposed to the left and right inner plates, the left and right half plates of the outer peripheral surface of the container are formed on the left inner plate. Each container formed on the right inner plate while being held by the peripheral portion of the support hole and whose left and right other half portions of the outer peripheral surface of the container face the container support hole of the left inner plate at different height positions Since it is held by the peripheral edge of the support hole, even if an external force in the front-rear direction acts on the container holder, it is possible to reliably prevent the containers held at different height positions from falling sideways.
