Corner folding pieces 7 are provided on both sides of the folding plate 6 by providing obliquely folds on the upper parts of the side boards 2 from four corners of the top board 1, and perforations 8 reaching end edges of the bottom board 3 from valleys formed by adjoining corner folding pieces 7 through both side boards 2, and while the corner folding pieces 7 are folded in, the folding plates 6 are folded downward, and the multipack can be divided into a plurality of unit packs S accompanying cutting linkages of the perforation 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-pack made of paperboard that wraps an accumulated beverage container or the like.

  Generally, when beverage containers such as plastic bottles and cans are delivered to convenience stores, etc., they are collected in units of 12 or 24 packaging units and stored in cardboard boxes. The company sells large quantities of cardboard boxes as they are, or unpacks cardboard boxes and sells individual containers.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, side plates 51 and bottom plates 52 are sequentially provided on both sides of the top plate 50 to wrap a small number of cans C, and the insertion pieces 53 are inserted into the insertion holes 54 to connect the bottom plates 52 to each other. The cans C are engaged with the folded pieces 55 and the holding pieces 56 extending from the end edges of the side plates 51, and the cans C are sold by the multi-pack unit that can be carried by pushing the pushing pieces 57 of the top plate 50. There are also many.

  However, as described above, when a beverage container is delivered in a cardboard box, it is not possible to sell a small number of products in a small batch, and when a conventional multipack is used, handling becomes troublesome at the time of delivery to a store. There is a problem.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-pack made of paperboard that can be divided and sold and is excellent in handling at the time of delivery.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a multi-pack in which a pair of side plates and a bottom plate are sequentially connected to a top plate, and packages such as accumulated beverage containers are wrapped. In addition to providing folding plates facing the cut line, fold diagonally from the four corners of the top plate to the top of the side plates to provide corner folding pieces on both sides of the folding plate, and then install both side plates from the valley formed by the adjacent corner folding pieces. After inserting the sewing machine line that reaches the edge of the bottom plate, folding the corner folding piece, folding the folding board downward so that it can be divided into multiple unit packs along with the cutting of the connecting part of the sewing machine line is there.

  In this multi-pack, since there is a gap between adjacent bent plates on the top surface side, by putting a hand in the gap and cutting the connecting portion of the sewing machine line from the valley of the adjacent corner fold pieces, a plurality of It can be easily divided into unit packs and sold in small portions. Moreover, in the state before a division | segmentation, since many packages are gathered, it can handle easily at the time of delivery.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

  The multipack composed of blanks shown in FIG. 1 is used for collective packaging of small PET bottles, and is formed using water-resistant paperboard as a material. The blank has a structure in which three unit packs S are connected. In each unit pack S, side plates 2 and bottom plates 3 are sequentially arranged on both sides of the top plate 1, and are different from one bottom plate 3. The insertion piece 4 is provided with an insertion hole 5 in the other bottom plate 3.

  At the boundary of the unit pack S, the top plate 1 is provided with bent plates 6 so as to face each other with a cut, and folds are obliquely formed on the both sides from the four corners of the top plate 1 to the upper portion of the side plate 2. The corner folding piece 7 is provided. And the sewing machine wire 8 which has a connection part is put from the trough which the adjacent corner folding piece 7 makes | forms to the edge of the baseplate 3 through the both-sides board 2. FIG. In addition, bent plates 6 and corner folds 7 are also provided at the outer ends of the unit packs S at both ends.

  Further, the side plate 2 is provided with ruled lines a and b that are bent along the body portion of the plastic bottle, and through holes c that fit the top and bottom portions of the plastic bottle. A tear strip 9 for opening is formed between two zipper-shaped cuts between the edges. In addition, the top plate 1 is provided with a pushing piece 10 that forms a finger insertion hole by being pushed in by arcuate cutting.

  Now, when packaging small plastic bottles of beverages with this blank, as shown in FIG. 2, the top plate 1 is put on the upper surface of the PET bottles that are accumulated in two rows of 6 pieces, and both side plates 2 are ruled lines a, Bend along b, fold downward, fold the bottom plate 3 inward, wrap the plastic bottle so that it fits into the through-hole c, insert the insertion piece 4 into the insertion hole 5, and engage the bottom plates 3 together Let

  When packaged in this way, since 12 PET bottles are gathered, they can be handled easily at the time of delivery, and distribution management such as counting the number becomes easy. Further, when two such multipacks are arranged side by side and packaged with a tray or shrink film, they can be distributed as 24 collective packages, and the fractions that are not collectively packaged can be compactly collected.

  On the other hand, when selling beverages in plastic bottles at a store, a gap is formed between adjacent folding plates 6 on the top side of the multipack. By cutting the connecting portion of the sewing machine line 8 from the valley, it can be easily divided into a plurality of unit packs S as shown in FIG.

  When the multipack is divided into small portions and sold in units of 4 or 8 plastic bottles, the purchaser can easily carry only one unit pack S or two unit packs S. . In addition, the store side can adjust the sales unit by appropriately subdividing the multipack according to the stock status of the product.
