Therefore, the contained object can be discharged as described above.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-41062

However, although the package described in Patent Document 1 makes it easy to take out the stored items, the accommodating section needs to have at least a conveying member in order to guide the stored items toward the removal opening. There is. Therefore, there are problems in that the number of parts increases and manufacturing takes time and effort.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a package that allows for easy removal of stored items, has a relatively small number of parts, and can be easily manufactured.

The package according to the present invention includes:
It includes a storage part in which an extraction opening is formed for taking out the stored object,
The accommodating part is a covering surface part that covers the object, and is formed with a sliding opening that allows a finger to come into contact with the object in order to slide the object toward the take-out opening. a covered surface portion, and a contact surface portion with which the stored object can abut in the front direction in the sliding direction;
The abutting surface portion has a guiding portion that is inclined so as to guide the sliding object to the extraction opening.

According to such a configuration, when a finger is inserted into the slide opening formed in the covering surface and the object is slid toward the contact surface with the finger, the object is brought into contact with the contact surface. , and is guided toward the removal opening along the inclined guide portion and taken out from the storage portion. Furthermore, the packaging body of the present invention does not require a conveyance member, which is incorporated in prior art packaging bodies, for guiding the stored items toward the removal opening, and therefore has a relatively small number of parts. Can be easily manufactured.

Moreover, the package according to the present invention includes:
The abutting surface portion may be formed with a take-out auxiliary opening for assisting in taking out the stored object.

According to this configuration, when taking out the stored object, by placing fingers other than the fingers that slide the stored object on the extraction auxiliary opening, the tip of the stored object can be easily grasped with each finger. This makes it easier to take out.

Moreover, the package according to the present invention includes:
The object to be accommodated has a flat shape,
The extraction opening may be formed in the shape of a slit and have a width smaller than the thickness of the object to be stored, and may be configured to expand in width by elastically deforming a peripheral edge of the opening.

According to such a configuration, since the width of the slit-shaped extraction opening is smaller than the thickness of the flat object, it is possible to prevent the object from being inadvertently discharged from the extraction opening. In addition, since the extraction opening is configured to expand in width by elastically deforming the peripheral edge of the extraction opening, even if the extraction opening has a slit shape of the size described above, it will not be possible to slide the accommodated object. When the peripheral edge is pressed from inside by an object and elastically deforms, the extraction opening widens to allow the stored object to pass through.

Further, the package according to the present invention may be made of a single sheet material.

According to such a configuration, the number of parts is further reduced and the packaging body can be manufactured easily compared to the packaging body of the prior art.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a package that allows easy removal of stored items, has a relatively small number of parts, and can be easily manufactured.

Hereinafter, a package according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the package 1 of the present embodiment forms a storage space capable of accommodating a plurality of flat objects P in a stacked manner, and also allows the objects P to be transported outside. It includes a hexahedral accommodating portion 10 in which a take-out opening 20 is formed.

The storage section 10 is a covering surface section 11 that covers the stored object P, and has a slide opening 30 that allows a finger to come into contact with the stored object P in order to slide the stored object P toward the removal opening 20. It has a formed covering surface portion 11 and a contact surface portion 12 which is connected to the covering surface portion 11 and can be abutted by the accommodated object P at the front in the sliding direction. Further, the housing section 10 includes a rectangular lower covering surface section 13 disposed to face the covering surface section 11, and a pair of trapezoidal side covering surface sections 14 and lateral covering surface sections facing each other without being displaced from each other. 15, and a rectangular rear covering surface portion 16. The covering surface portion 11 and the contact surface portion 12 are connected only at both ends of their adjacent edges, thereby forming a slit-shaped extraction opening 20 between the two ends. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the contact surface portion 12 is inclined so as to protrude from the lower covering surface portion 13 toward the covering surface portion 11 when viewed from the side covering surface portion 14 (or side covering surface portion 15) side. are doing.
In this embodiment, the side of the covering surface portion 11 in which the slide opening 30 is formed is defined as the upper side, and the side of the surface opposite thereto is defined as the lower side.

The storage section 10 stores a plurality of objects P so as to form a layer together with the covering surface section 11 and the lower covering surface section 13 . Such a stored object P is, for example, a sheet-like sheet that is formed into a rectangular shape in a plan view, whose peripheral edges are continuously glued together, and whose contents are filled inside the peripheral edges. Examples include pouches.

The extraction opening 20 is configured so that one stored object P can pass therethrough. More specifically, the extraction opening 20 is formed so that its width is smaller than the thickness of one object P. Moreover, when the peripheral edge of the opening 20 is pressed from the inside (specifically, when the sliding object P presses the peripheral edge from the inside), the peripheral edge is elastically deformed. It is configured to be widened by This allows the sliding stored object P to pass through the extraction opening 20. In this embodiment, the extraction opening 20 is arranged adjacent to the contact surface portion 12 .

The sliding opening 30 is formed at a position where a finger can touch the object P from one side in the stacking direction. More specifically, the slide opening 30 allows a finger to be inserted into a plurality of objects P arranged adjacent to the covered surface section 11 from one side in the stacking direction (the covered surface section 11 side). They are formed in a position where the finger can slide the contained object P toward the removal opening 20 by making contact with it. In this embodiment, the slide opening 30 is arranged in the covering surface part 11 and is formed to extend from the center to the connection part with the contact surface part 12. Moreover, the sliding opening 30 is arranged so as to overlap with the intermediate portion of the object P in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction. This suppresses the displacement of the sliding stored object P in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, so that the stored object P can be more easily discharged from the removal opening 20. Moreover, the slide opening 30 is formed so as to be continuous with the extraction opening 20. It is preferable that the sliding opening 30 is formed in a size that allows a finger to be inserted thereinto and allows the finger inserted therethrough to slide inside.
Note that the slide opening 30 only needs to be arranged at a position where a finger can slide the stored object P toward the extraction opening 20, and it is not necessary to form it continuously with the extraction opening 20 as described above. It's okay.

The contact surface portion 12 has a guiding portion that is inclined so as to guide the sliding stored object P to the removal opening 20 . More specifically, if the side of the contact surface section 12 that connects to the lower covered surface section 13 is the proximal end, and the side that connects to the covered surface section 11 is the distal end, then the distal end of the abutment surface section 12 is the proximal end. It is arranged so as to be inclined by being arranged on the outside of the guide section, thereby forming a guide section. Further, the extraction opening 20 is arranged on the downstream side in the inclined direction from the proximal end side to the distal end side of the contact surface part 12 and at the distal end in the sliding direction of the stored object P in the storage section 10 . As a result, the stored object P that has slid and abutted against the contact surface part 12 moves along the inclined direction from the proximal end to the distal end in the guide part, and the object P that has been slid and abutted against the contact surface part 12 moves along the inclined direction from the proximal end side to the distal end side of the guide part, and guided toward the opening 20. From the viewpoint of smooth guidance of the object P, the angle between the contact surface section 12 and the lower covering surface section 13 is preferably 100 to 170 degrees, more preferably 110 to 160 degrees, More preferably, the angle is 120° to 150°. In particular, when the object P is relatively hard, the angle is preferably 120 to 150°.
In the present embodiment, the contact surface portion 12 is formed in a planar shape, but the shape is not particularly limited as long as it can guide the sliding object P toward the removal opening 20, for example, It may be formed into a spherical shape that swells from the inside to the outside.

In this embodiment, the contact surface portion 12 is formed with a take-out auxiliary opening 22 for assisting in taking out the stored object P. The extraction auxiliary opening 22 is formed to extend from the center of the contact surface portion 12 to the extraction opening 20. The extraction auxiliary opening 22 is formed in a size that does not allow the stored object P to pass through. When such a retrieval auxiliary opening 22 is formed, when taking out the stored object P with a finger, by placing a finger other than the finger that slides the stored object P on the retrieval auxiliary opening 22, Since the tip of the object P guided by the guide section of the contact surface section 12 can be easily grasped with each finger, it becomes easier to take out the object P.
