Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display easily the color of the content in a paint container, in an excellent appearance, by providing the surface of the container with a color part having almost the same color as the paint, and by attaching a label having a window through which the color part of the container can be seen. SOLUTION: A stretch label 3 is formed by subjecting a self-stretchable film to proper printing, etc., and by processing it into a cylindrical shape. After it is attached to a container 2, part of the stretch label 3 is cut out to form a window 4 so that the surface of the container 2 can be seen. The stretch label 3 is allowed to be fitted round the can container 2 by means of its elastic shrinkage force after being placed round the can container 2, having a color part 5 partly disposed on the surface of its body which is colored by being painted with paint as the contents of it, in such a way that the color part 5 and the window 4 coincide. The paint container 1 thus obtained makes the check of the color of the paint easy and proper at the time of its purchase by allowing the color part 5 with the paint as the contents applied to it to be seen.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a metal can filled with paint such as paint, lacquer and ink, a synthetic resin container,
Related to paint containers such as spray cans.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a paint can of paint or the like displays contents of various colors, so that a label of the same color as the separately created contents is attached or the lid is colored.

[0003]

However, when a separately colored label is prepared, the number of colors is large and management is difficult, and the color of the label is slightly different from the color of the paint of the contents. There was a problem.

[0004] Further, there are some lids colored with the paint of the contents, but it was not easy to apply (color) without impairing the appearance of the lid.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a paint container which appropriately displays the color of the contents and has an excellent appearance.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

(Structure) The paint container of the present invention is characterized in that a colored portion having the same color as the paint of the contents is formed on the surface of the container, and a label having a window portion through which the colored portion is visible is attached. is there.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a tubular stretch label made of a self-expanding film is used as the label.

(Function) In the paint container of the present invention, the color of the contents is properly displayed by the coloring part having substantially the same color as the paint of the contents, and a label having a visible window part is attached to the coloring part. Therefore, the periphery of the window is covered with the label, and the coating unevenness in the colored portion is not noticeable and the appearance is excellent.

When a tubular stretch label is used, it can be attached by elastic expansion and contraction of the film without using an adhesive, and a display can be made on the entire circumference of the container.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a paint container 1 of the present invention in which a can 2 made of metal or the like is filled with paint as a content, sealed by a lid 6, and a stretch label 3 is wound around the outer periphery of a body. Reference numeral 5 denotes a colored portion provided on the surface of the body of the can container 2, and reference numeral 4 denotes a window portion formed by cutting out a part of the stretch label 3 so that the colored portion 5 can be seen. The stretch label 3 is printed with an indication 7 such as the product name of the paint and how to use it.

Next, an example of manufacturing the paint container 1 will be described. The stretch label 3 is processed into a tubular shape by appropriately printing it on a film (for example, a thickness of 20 to 150 μm) made of low-density polyethylene having self-stretchability, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, ionomer resin, polyvinyl chloride, etc. Formed. Further, the stretch label 3 has a window 4 formed by cutting a part of the stretch label 3 so that the surface of the container can be visually observed after being attached to the container 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stretch label 3 formed as described above is attached to a can container 2 having a coloring portion 5 which is colored by partially applying paint, which is the content, on the surface of the body portion. 5 and the window portion 4 are fitted so that the positions thereof substantially coincide with each other, and are attached by an elastic contraction force to form the coating material container of the present invention.

The paint container 1 thus obtained is
Since the colored portion 5 coated with the paint of the contents can be visually observed, the color can be surely and easily confirmed when the paint is purchased. Further, since the colored portion 5 can only see the shape of the window portion 4 provided on the stretch label 3 in appearance,
It is preferable because it is aesthetically pleasing because uneven coating of paint is not noticeable.

The paint container of the present invention can be obtained by the embodiment described above, but is not limited thereto. In the above embodiment, the stretch label is used as the label 3, but a tack label having an adhesive or a tubular shrink label may be used as long as it has a window portion through which the colored portion 5 can be seen. However, a stretch label is preferable because it does not require an adhesive such as a tack label and does not heat when attached like a shrink label.

Further, in the above embodiment, the coloring portion 5 is formed by the paint of the contents, but it may be formed by another coloring agent having substantially the same color. Furthermore, the label may be formed with a plurality of window portions.

[0016]

[Effect] As described above, the paint container of the present invention can display the color of the paint of the contents in an easy and excellent appearance.
