DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a thin synthetic resin sheet manufactured by vacuum molding or blow molding, and a body portion having a plurality of concave portions for receiving eggs and a lid portion are connected to each other through a flexible connecting portion. The egg container connected integrally is configured such that a label indicating the producer and the quality can be attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in a perspective view of FIG. 3, a conventional egg container comprises a body part 1, a lid part 2, and a connecting part 3 for connecting these two parts flexibly. The synthetic resin sheet is integrally formed by vacuum molding or blow molding, and the body portion 1 and the lid portion 2 are provided with a plurality of concave portions 12 and a flange portion 5 for receiving chicken eggs partitioned by the partition walls 11. . In addition, the string-shaped body 6 provided along the connecting portion 3 is pulled when opening the
Is to be broken.

[0003] After the eggs are put in the respective concave portions 12 of the body portion 1, the lid portion 2 is bent through the connecting portion 3, and the flange portion 5 facing the connecting portion 3 is stapled or heat-sealed to seal. Stopped.

[0004] In such a conventional egg container, since there is no suitable place for attaching a label, a small piece of paper indicating the producer and quality is enclosed together with the egg.

[0005]

However, this small piece of paper becomes wrinkled and it is difficult to confirm the display contents of the paper piece, so that consumers can pay attention without considering producers and quality.
Only the size (L, M, S) of the egg was selected and purchased.

Therefore, in order to form a suitable place for attaching a label, as shown in FIG. 4, a synthetic resin sheet in which an openable and closable body part 1 and a lid part 2 are connected by a foldable connection part 3 is used. In the egg container 10, a plurality of concave portions 12 are formed in the body portion 1 and partitioned by partition walls, and the lid portion 2 has a protrusion 21 projecting from the body portion 1 at a position facing the intersection of the partition walls. , 22 are formed, and of these protruding portions 21, 22, the protruding portions 22 at both ends have a vertically cut shape, and the cut surface 23 is arranged so as to face outward, and each protruding portion 21,
A flat surface 24 is formed around the root of 22 and this flat surface 24
(Japanese Utility Model Application No. Hei 5-21535) has been proposed an egg container configured to attach a label 4 to the egg container.

However, the flat surface 24 to which the label 4 is to be attached
When forming many egg containers and stacking them in a box,
Since the projecting concave portions 12 of the adjacent egg containers do not fit each other, there is a problem that the occupancy of the space is deteriorated and that the eggs are easily collapsed when stacked at a store.

Therefore, the present invention has been conceived in order to obtain an egg container to which such a label can be attached and the producer and the quality can be visually confirmed.

[0009]

In the egg container of the present invention, an openable and closable body part 1 and a lid part 2 are connected by a foldable connecting part 3, and the body part 1 and the lid part 2 have a partition 11.
In the synthetic resin sheet egg container 10 in which the plurality of recesses 12 partitioned by the recesses 12 are formed, the egg container 10 straddles the side surfaces of the plurality of recesses 12 adjacent to the connecting portion 3 among the recesses 12 of the body portion 1 and the lid portion 2. and label Te give a flat surface 1
5 and 25 are formed, and the connecting portion 3 following the flat surfaces 15 and 25 is cut 31 to flatten the lid portion 1 and the body portion 2.
Label so as to cover the resected part over the surfaces 15 and 25
Is attached .

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in the open perspective view of FIG. 1 and the closed perspective view of FIG.
Vacuum molding or blow molding of thin synthetic resin sheet,
To keep a plurality of eggs separated from each other,
The body portion 1 and the lid portion 2 are formed of a body portion 1 and a lid portion 2 integrally formed via a foldable connection portion 3 so as to form an egg holding space in a closed state.
A recess 12 for accommodating a plurality of eggs partitioned by the partition 11 is provided.

[0011] Of the concave portions 12 of the body portion 1 and the lid portion 2, flat surfaces 15 and 25 on which the label 4 is attached across the side surfaces of the plurality of concave portions 12 adjacent to the connecting portion 3.
Are formed, and a portion of the connecting portion 3 following the flat surfaces 15 and 25 is cut away 31.

The flat surface 26 formed at the end of the lid 2 is a flat surface for attaching a label displaying a bar code (POS mark).

When wrapping eggs in the egg container 10 constructed as described above, the eggs are put into the respective recesses 12 of the body portion 1 and then the cover portion 2 is bent through the connecting portion 3 to fold the body portion 1.
The flange portion 5 facing the connecting portion 3 is stapled or sealed by heat fusion, and the label 4 (2) is attached to the flat surfaces 15 and 25 so as to straddle the cut portion 31. (Indicated by the dotted line).

As described above, when the label 4 is attached so as to straddle the cutout portion 31 of the connecting portion 3, since the projecting portion of the connecting portion 3 does not exist, the applied label 4 is flat, and Even if there is a cutout 31 in the connecting portion 3, the mechanical strength of the connecting portion 3 can be obtained by the attached label 4,
The egg container 10 is not broken and opened.

[0015]

As is clear from the description based on the above embodiment, according to the egg container of the present invention, there is no need to enclose a producer or a small piece of paper indicating the quality, and the producer and the producer are attached to the side of the egg container. Since the label indicating the quality can be attached while maintaining a flat posture, the consumer can purchase the egg after confirming the producer and the quality. Furthermore, a large number of egg containers can be stacked in a box and transported without deteriorating the occupancy of the space, and do not collapse when stacked at a store.
