Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately hold cans with fitting tongues, by bending tongues for preventing from separation, extending to both ends of the inner side bottom plate and the outer side bottom plate, into the inner side face of the inner side bottom plate so as to erect the front end. CONSTITUTION:The length of tongues 11, 11 for preventing from separation, which extend continuously to both ends of the inner side bottom plate 1, is formed a little shorter than the length of tongues 51, 51 for preventing from separation, continuously extending to both ends of the outer bottom plate 5. And these preventive flaps 11, 51 against separation are arranged to contact and fit to different positions of circular recess 13 formed at the bottom of a can C. In this way, even when the circular recesse 13 at the bottom of can is formed loose, the flaps can be accurately fixed at some of them. When auxiliary flaps 12, 12 for erection are formed at the tongues 11, 11 for preventing from separation, the auxiliary flaps 12 act to push up the tongues 51, 51 for preventing from separation, continuously extending to the outer side bottom plate 5 positioned at the upper face thereof, from the lower face. Accordingly, the fixing effect is much more increased.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holder for collectively displaying or carrying a plurality of cans such as canned beer, canned juice, etc. in a store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that canned beer and canned juice are put together in one box for display and carrying.

[0003]

However, the conventionally known holder has a box-shaped container in which a portable carrying handle is formed, and the cans to be carried are simply the aforementioned box body. Since the structure is only accommodated in, the thickness of the paperboard that constitutes the box becomes thicker in order to accommodate the heavy cans, and the structure becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost rises. There was a flaw.

Further, the cans contained in the container are merely contained in the box body, and there is no means for holding and fixing the contained cans, so that the box body can be carried in an inclined state, or It was impossible to carry it upside down.

For the purpose of addressing these problems, the inventor proposed a holder for cans disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 5-339848.

In the holder for cans shown in the above-mentioned application, the container body is constructed as a sideways tubular body with both ends open.
Semi-circular release prevention tongues are foldably connected to both ends of the bottom plate and top plate of the container body, and the separation prevention tongues are placed inside the bottom plate and the top plate. The tongue pieces for preventing separation are locked to the annular edges formed at the upper and lower ends of the cans housed in the container body when used.

The above-described invention having these structures was extremely excellent in that it was able to completely solve the various drawbacks of the conventional portable box, but depending on the manufacturer of the cans, they can. The upper peripheral edge forms an extremely accurate circular wall because it needs to form a tightening portion, but the peripheral edge of the can bottom is often processed into a loose annular shape with a gentle arc. Therefore, it has been pointed out that, in the case of the above-mentioned invention in which only one detachment preventing tongue piece is configured, the detachment preventing tongue piece may not be able to accurately lock the peripheral edge portion of the can bottom portion.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can be applied even when the structure of cans, particularly the annular cross-sectional structure formed on the peripheral portion of the can bottom is loose. The invention provides a can holder configured such that the tongue piece can accurately lock the can.

Another object of the present invention is to enable the cans to be accurately accommodated while having a simple structure, and for the cans accommodated in the holder to be accurately retained regardless of the portable means. The purpose is to provide a holder for cans constructed.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a holder for cans arranged on both sides of the holder so that the cans can be firmly held even if only the inner half thereof is locked. It is what

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a holder formed in a box shape with both ends opened is provided with an inner bottom plate, an inclined front wall, a front wall, a top plate, a rear wall, an inclined rear wall, and an outer bottom plate through folding lines. It is constructed as a box-shaped body having a continuous double bottom, and the tongue pieces for preventing separation are foldably connected to both ends of the inner bottom plate and the outer bottom plate and both ends of the top plate so that the inner bottom plate and the outer bottom plate are connected. Tongue pieces for preventing separation that are continuous at both ends
Bend the inner bottom surface of the inner bottom plate with elastic force so that the tip part stands up, and the tongue pieces for preventing separation that are continuous to both ends of the top plate have elastic force so that the tip part stands up. The main point of the invention is a can holder that is bent on the inner surface of the top plate.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The holder of the present invention is made of a relatively thin paperboard and is formed in a box shape with both ends open. The inner bottom plate 1, the inclined front wall 21, the front wall 2, the top plate 3, the rear wall are formed. 4, the inclined rear wall 41 and the outer bottom plate 5 are successively connected through the bending lines 6 ... 6, and the tongue pieces 11, 11 and 51, 51 for preventing separation are provided at both ends of the inner bottom plate 1 and the outer bottom plate 5. The top plate 3 is continuous with the folding lines 7 and 7, and the tongue pieces 31 and 31 for preventing separation are connected to the both ends of the top plate 3 through the folding lines 7 and 7, respectively.

The inclined front wall 21 and the inclined rear wall 41 are formed when the outer diameter of the bottom portion of the can C is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper portion of the can C. Sloping back wall
By assembling 41 by inclining, the bottom of the can C having a small outer diameter is accurately held, and the bottom of the can C is prevented from moving laterally during use. (See FIGS. 4 and 5)

The shapes of the tongue pieces 11, 51 and 31 for preventing separation are as follows.
In addition to the trapezoidal shape as illustrated in FIG. 1, it may be formed in a semicircular shape as illustrated in FIG.

Tongue pieces 11, 11, 51, 51 and 31, for preventing separation,
31 is set according to the inner diameters of the annular portions formed at the upper and lower ends of the can C to be housed, and the size of the separation preventing tongues 31 formed at both ends of the top plate 3 is A semi-circular shape matching the inner diameter of the annular winding portion 32 formed on the outer peripheral portion of the upper end of the can C to be housed (outer peripheral portion of the cover plate), and the tongue for preventing separation formed on both end portions of the bottom plate 1. Piece 11, 1
The size of 1, 51, 51 is set to match the inner diameter of the circular recess 13 formed in the bottom of the can C.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the length of the separation preventing tongue pieces 11, 11 and 51, 51 formed at both ends of the inner bottom plate 1 and the both ends of the outer bottom plate 5 forming a double bottom. Is a tongue piece 11 for preventing separation, which is continuous to both ends of the inner bottom plate 1, and has a tongue piece 11 for preventing separation, which is continuous to both ends of the outer bottom plate 5.
It is designed to be slightly shorter than 51, 51.

The tongue pieces 11, 11 and 31, 31 for preventing separation are bent inside the both ends of the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3 so that the tips of the tongue pieces exert elastic force. (The tip of the tongue piece for preventing separation is bent so as to have a force to stand inward of the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3) (see FIG. 4).

Numerals 12 and 12 are upright auxiliary pieces formed at both ends of the inner bottom plate 1 so as to be able to rise and fall at the central portions of the tongue pieces 11 and 11 for preventing separation, and have U-shaped cutout grooves 14 and 14, respectively. By dividing the tongue pieces 11 and 11 for preventing separation, they can be erected independently of each other. (See Figure 3)

It is to be noted that the formation of the upright assisting pieces 12, 12 is not essential to the present invention, but in the case of forming this, the tongue pieces for preventing separation formed at both ends of the outer bottom plate 5 at the time of use. It has the effect of lifting 51, 51 from its lower surface,
The locking effect of the tongue pieces 51, 51 for preventing separation from the can C can be further enhanced. (Refer to part B of FIG. 6)

Width W of inner bottom plate 1, outer bottom plate 5 and top plate 3
Is to match the outer diameter of the can C to be accommodated, and the height of the front wall 2 including the inclined front wall 21 and the rear wall 4 including the inclined rear wall 41 is the height of the can C to be accommodated. The size is set to match the height H.

[0022]

According to the present invention, the bottom plate portion of the box configured to have openings at both ends has a double bottom structure of the inner bottom plate 1 and the outer bottom plate 5, and both end portions of the inner bottom plate 1 and the outer bottom plate 5 are formed. Tongue pieces 11, 11 and 51, 51 for preventing separation are formed continuously, respectively, and when used, the tongue pieces 11, 11 and 51 for preventing separation are formed.
Since 51 and 51 are structured to be bent inward while having elasticity so that the tip end portion thereof rises upward, the bottom structure of the can C (the structure of the circular depression 13 part) has a loose annular structure. Even if it is, the two tongue pieces 11 and 51 for preventing separation can be accurately locked, and there is a feature that an excellent locking effect which cannot be expected in the conventional portable holder can be exhibited.

Particularly, in the present invention, the lengths of the separation preventing tongues 11 and 11 which are continuous to both ends of the inner bottom plate 1 and the separation preventing tongues 51 and 51 which are continuous to both ends of the outer bottom plate 5. A little shorter than the length of the two
However, since the circular recess 13 formed on the bottom of the can C is configured to abut and lock at different portions (see FIG. 6), even if the circular recess 13 on the bottom of the can C is loosely formed, either It becomes possible to accurately lock it to that part, and an excellent locking effect can be exhibited.

When the standing-up assisting pieces 12, 12 are formed on the tongue pieces 11, 11 for preventing separation, which are continuous with both ends of the inner bottom plate 1,
Since the upright assisting piece 12 has a function of pushing up the detachment preventing tongue pieces 51, 51 continuous with the outer bottom plate 5 located on the upper surface thereof from the lower surface when in use, there is an advantage that the locking effect is further enhanced. (See Figure 6)

Since the inclined front wall 21 is formed at the lower end of the front wall 2 and the inclined rear wall 41 is continuously formed at the lower end of the rear wall 4, the lower end portion of the can C to be housed is inward. Even in the case of a slanted structure, it has a feature that it can fit the shape exactly and can be carried stably.

Further, among the several cans C to be accommodated in the holder, the cans C located on both sides accommodate up to half the diameter in the holder, and the other parts are outside the holder. Since the width of the holder is smaller than the total value of the outer diameters of the cans C by one, the width of the holder can be the width of two cans C when the number of accommodated is three. Can be economical.
