Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a continuous container used for selling boiled firefly squid to consumers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of continuous container (which is called "three-fold" among traders) is used to boil fresh firefly squid and then put it in for sale. Three shallow rectangular containers are arranged side by side and connected. And as a means for connecting, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (A) and (B), the containers 21 are connected to each other by thin connecting pieces 22 over substantially the entire length of the adjacent sides. The reason for connecting a plurality of containers in this way is that it is considered that the work of putting boiled firefly squid in the container can be performed collectively and efficiently.

In this way, boiled firefly squid is packed almost evenly in each container connected in this way and sold at the store, but among consumers, for example, among three containers that are continuous, The firefly squid for only one container may be required, or the firefly squid for only two containers may be required. At this time, the connecting pieces connecting the containers were cut using a cutter or the like, and the firefly squid contained in a desired number of containers was sold in the containers.

However, it is quite troublesome to cut the connecting piece with a cutter or the like for each container containing the required number of firefly squid, and sometimes the firefly squid in the container jumps out of the container due to momentum during cutting. There was also.

[0005]

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and containers are connected to each other in a state where the efficiency of the work of putting firefly squid in the containers is not hindered, and An object is to provide a continuous container for firefly squid that can be easily and easily cut.

[0006]

A continuous container for firefly squid according to the present invention comprises a plurality of containers in which a standing wall is formed around and a bent piece is vertically provided from the upper end of the standing wall. A continuous container to be connected, each container is a thin-walled connecting piece that connects the lower end edges of the bent pieces on one side adjacent to each other with a minute interval, and the thin piece-like connecting pieces are spaced along the adjacent one side direction. It is characterized in that it is provided at several places with a sufficient opening.

Further, in the above continuous container, a connecting portion for connecting the bent pieces on one side where the respective containers are adjacent to each other,
Providing a sufficient space along the adjacent one side direction at several places, the connecting portion maintains a minute interval between the projecting portion protruding from the adjacent bent piece and the lower end edges of both projecting portions. It is characterized by consisting of thin pieces that are connected together.

[0008]

The thin-walled connecting pieces that connect the lower end edges of the bent pieces on the one side adjacent to each other to each other are provided at several positions along the direction of the adjacent one side. Therefore, if each connecting piece is bent inward, the bent pieces collide with each other and the lever can be used to easily cut each connecting piece. Further, since the connecting piece connects the lower end edges of the bending piece with a minute gap therebetween, the lever acts only by bending inwardly.

Connecting parts for connecting the bent pieces on one side of each container, which are adjacent to each other, are provided at several positions with sufficient intervals along the direction of the adjacent one side, and the connected parts are bent pieces. Since it consists of a protrusion projecting oppositely from each other and a thin piece that connects the lower edges of both protrusions, if each thin piece is bent inward, the protrusions will abut each other and By the action, it is possible to easily cut each thin piece. In addition, since the thin pieces connect the lower end edges of both projections with a minute gap therebetween, the lever acts only by bending it slightly inward.

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

FIGS. 1A and 1B show an embodiment of a continuous container for firefly squid according to the present invention. In this continuous container, three containers 1 having the same shape are laterally arranged and connected. It was done. Each container 1 has an open top and a shallow bottom, and has a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole. At the upper end of the standing wall 2 which stands up at a slight inclination to the outside of the periphery of each container 1, a flange portion 3 that projects outward is formed. A bending piece 4 is provided.

The connecting portion 5 for connecting the respective containers 1 is for connecting the bent pieces 4, 4 on one side which are adjacent to each other, and is provided at four positions at sufficient intervals along the direction of the adjacent one side. It is provided in. Each connecting portion 5 is a pair of protrusions 6 and 6 protruding from the bending pieces 4 and 4 facing each other so as to face each other and having the same height as the bending pieces 4 and 4, and the lower ends of both the protrusions 6 and 6. The thin pieces 7 are connected to each other and to the lower edges of the bent pieces 4 and 4 near the edges.

Each connecting portion 5 composed of a pair of protrusions 6 and 6 and a thin piece 7 has a container 1 on both sides and a thin piece 7
When bent inward, the protrusions 6 and 6 collide with each other,
The thin piece 7 is easily cut by the action of the lever. At this time, in order to prevent the boiled firefly squid contained in the container 1 from moving or popping out of the container,
In order that the thin piece 7 can be cut even if the bending inward is minimized, the lower edge between the protrusions 6 and 6 should have a minute interval, for example, 0.7 mm or less (preferably around 0.5 mm). It is kept and connected. Further, the thickness and width of the thin piece 7 are set so as to have both toughness that ensures the connected state of the containers 1 under normal conditions and weakness that facilitates cutting by the action of the lever during bending. . In this embodiment, the thin piece 7 is made to have a thickness of about 0.2 mm. In the figure, 9 is a through hole for draining water, 10 is a cold air hole,
Reference numeral 11 is a reinforcing piece. Further, in the present embodiment, the thin piece 7 is provided up to the lower edges of the bent pieces 4 and 4 in the vicinity of both the projections 6 and 6, but at least only the lower edges of the projections 6 and 6 are provided. It may be connected.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the connecting portion 5 is provided with the projections 6 and 6.
2 (A) and 2 (B), the container 1 was directly connected from the lower edges of the facing bent pieces 4 and 4 on one side adjacent to each other. The thin connecting pieces 8 are provided at four positions with sufficient intervals along the adjacent one side direction, and the lower end edges of the facing bending pieces 4 and 4 are minutely spaced (0.7 mm or less). ) May be maintained and connected by the connecting piece 8. In this case, when the connecting pieces 8 are bent inward, the bending pieces 4 and 4 collide with each other, and the connecting pieces 8 can be easily cut by the action of the lever.

In each of the above embodiments, the connecting portion 5 and the connecting piece 8 provided along the one side direction of the adjacent containers are arranged at four places, but it goes without saying that a plurality of other numbers may be used. Yes.

[0016]

In the continuous container according to the present invention, a connecting portion or a connecting piece for connecting / holding a plurality of containers for storing boiled firefly squid is provided at sufficient intervals along one side of adjacent containers. Since it is provided at several places and it is possible to cut it by skillfully utilizing the action of the lever due to the collision of the protrusions or bent pieces when bent, it may hinder the workability of putting the boiled firefly squid in the container. Of course, there is no firefly squid contained in each successive container for each container containing the amount according to the consumer's request,
The simple operation of just bending makes it possible to surely separate, and the separation work is very easy.
Moreover, since the intervals that make up the connecting points are minute intervals, the lever action acts with a slight bending to allow separation, so there is almost no movement of the firefly squid or jumping out of the container when separating the container. convenient.
