Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a continuous tube or string that can be used as a bag by cutting it to any length and tying one end, and can also be used as a string by using it as it is. The present invention relates to a container with a cutter for cutting various long objects, including a container with a cutter for cutting various long objects, and more specifically, a container for storing a long object with a cutter attached safely and with good workability.

[Conventional technology]

Wrap and store various long objects such as continuous tubes and strings,
Regarding the technique of unrolling from the end and using it as a bag of arbitrary length, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-163158 and Utility Model Application No. 5
Publication No. 9-175033, and patent application No. 15363/1983
No. 9, Japanese Patent Application No. 153640/1983 and Japanese Patent Application No. 1988/2003
It is disclosed in No. 57240 and the like. In order to reliably and safely cut long objects, these containers have a slit that does not allow fingers to enter, and a cutter such as a razor is fixed to the bottom of this slit. When manufacturing storage containers for long items, a cutting tool with a razor-like blade clamped at the bottom of the slit is prepared in advance between two sheets of paperboard of the same shape with a slit in the center, and this cutting tool is It was attached to a designated area.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with the above method, if the container is discarded after the contents have been used, the cutter sandwiched between the paperboard may separate and cause injury, or the paperboard of the cutting tool may swell if used in a moist location. There was a risk that the knife would separate and cause injury. Furthermore, this method requires two steps: manufacturing the cutting tool by sandwiching the knife between the paperboards and attaching the cutting tool to the container, which poses a problem in terms of workability.

[Means of problem solving]

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has the structure of a container that is used by winding and storing a long object made of a plastic film, unrolling the required amount from the end, and cutting it. A slit is made from the end of the overlapped part,
It is characterized in that a cutter is directly held at the bottom of the slit.

The long article in the present invention is mainly a thin tube made of polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. with a thickness of about 10 to 40 μ and wound without a core, and may be wound flat.
Alternatively, it may be wound into a string shape. If the tube is held at the end and pulled out from the center, it will be pulled out one after another, and if the tube is cut to any length and one end tied, a bag of any length can be formed. Furthermore, various long objects such as flat strings, twisted strings, ribbons, etc. are used.

As a container for storing such a long object, a cylindrical body may be used since there is no risk of the contents falling out if the outer periphery of the wound long object is stuck inside the container.

In particular, a cylindrical body with elasticity at both ends and a flattened shape is constantly subjected to a force that tends to flatten it, so the thickness of the cylindrical body itself tends to decrease as the long contents decrease. Therefore, it is preferable. Further, some sort of bottom may be provided, and it may be box-shaped.

Paperboard, plastic sheet, etc. are preferably used as the material for the container. Among them, vinyl chloride resin with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 I has good transparency and coloring properties, and just by wrapping it around a long object and pressing it, the ends will break to form a hinge.
A flat cylindrical body can be easily formed. If paperboard is used, it is usually formed into a box shape.

In forming a container, there will inevitably be areas where the container material overlaps to form a box or cylinder. A slit is provided at each end of the parts that should overlap,
The two slits are overlapped to form a cylindrical or box-shaped container with slits. Razor pieces are generally used as cutting tools because they have excellent sharpness and are thin and small, making them easy to handle, but the invention is not limited to this, and metal pieces with sharpened ends can also be used.

A razor piece is attached to the bottom of one of the slits, and the raw material portion of the container having the other slit is overlapped from above with the slit positions aligned to form an overlapping part. By this method, the cutting tool can be provided in a single operation of sandwiching the razor blade and pasting both ends of the container material.

The same means can be used to clamp razor blades in areas of the container that are not naturally contoured. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the container material is extended from the region where the slit is to be provided, the container material is folded back at the region where the slit is to be provided, and the slit is punched with the two materials overlapped. When attaching the folded portion, a razor piece may be attached to the bottom of the slit.

(Function) When manufacturing a storage container for long objects, the manufacturing process can be simplified by the present invention, in which a slit is provided in the overlapping portion of the container material and a cutlery is directly clamped to the bottom of this slit.Also, the manufacturing process can be simplified. The risk of injury caused by the cutting tool sandwiched between paperboards manufactured in advance by the conventional method being peeled off or torn off after or during use, exposing the cutting tool, has been drastically reduced.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention, in which numeral 1 is a green transparent cylindrical container made of hard vinyl chloride with a thickness of about 0.18 μm. 2 is a continuous duplex wound without a core and drawn out from the center. 3 is a constriction hole for adjusting the withdrawal amount to a constant value, and the contents and the continuous tube 2 are drawn out from this constriction hole 3.
Pull out. When cutting, the continuous tube 2 pulled out of the container is cut through a guide groove 4 and a slit 5 provided on the opposite side.
Insert into. A cutter 6 is clamped at the bottom of the slit 5. The continuous tube 2 that has entered the guide hole 4 and the slit 5 contacts the blade 6 in an almost vertically taut state.
It has good sharpness, and the cut end remains inside the cylindrical container as shown in FIG. 1, which is favorable in terms of appearance. The surface 7 of the cylindrical container 1 with the constricted hole 3 is a surface made of one container material, and the surface 8 provided with the slit is an overlapping portion where two container materials are stuck together. Slit 5 is the container material 2
The holes were made with the sheets stacked one on top of the other. A razor piece was used as the cutter 6, and was sandwiched between the bottom of the slit 5 with the cutting edge facing upward, and attached together with the overlapping part 8.

In this embodiment, about 1/2 of the completed container is made to form the overlapping portion 8, but the overlapping portion may be as large as the width of the cutter plus a slight excess. In addition, since hard vinyl chloride was used as the container material, during manufacturing, after wrapping the contents in the container material to form a cylinder, by pressing the whole, a permanent crease is created at both ends, which acts as a hinge. A generally flat cylindrical container was easily formed.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of another embodiment, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of its assembly, and FIG. 4 is a developed view thereof.

In this embodiment, the side portion 10, the rear surface 11, the lower surface 12,
The front surface 13 and the lower surface 14 are arranged in sequence along the fold line. A slit was provided at the two ends of the side portions 10 and 14, and a cutter 6 was attached to the bottom of the slit on the lower surface 14. The side part 10 is pasted onto the side part 14, forming an overlapping part 8 and forming a cylindrical body. At this time, the slits provided in the upper portions of the side portions 10 and 14 coincide to form one slit in appearance. Reference numeral 15 denotes a lower surface that covers the bottom of the cylindrical body, and an adhesive portion 18 extends from the tip thereof and adheres to the lower end of the rear surface 11 to stabilize the bottom, which is the lower surface 15. Reference numeral 16 denotes an upper surface having a guiding slit 17 through which the constricted hole 3 and the continuous tube 2 come into contact with the cutting edge at approximately right angles. A sticking part 18 extends from the tip and is stuck to the upper part of the front surface 13. That is, the paperboard cut as shown in FIG. 4 passes through the state shown in FIG. 3 to form the container shown in FIG. 2.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show an embodiment in which a cutter is clamped on the concave surface 12, which is not the original shaped part in FIG. 4. In this case, the tip of the concave surface 12 is extended, and the extended portion is folded back to the inner surface to form a folded portion 19.

When returning, select the pickpocket 5 that matches when you return.
A cutter 5 was sandwiched and attached to the bottom of the slit 5. 20 is a notch provided in the upper surface 16 to facilitate cutting of the continuous tube 2. A continuous tube storage container as shown in FIG. 5 was manufactured by assembling in substantially the same manner as the embodiment shown in FIG.

In all of the above examples, the safety of the cutter was improved and the manufacturing cost was reduced.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention prevents the preformed cutting tool from peeling off,
The risk of injury when the container is discarded after use or when used in a damp place is drastically reduced, and workability during manufacturing is improved.
