DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, a paper container holder and a paper template for a paper container holder according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an external perspective view showing the configuration of an assembled paper container holder that holds paper containers. Here, the paper container is a paper container (paper carton) filled and sealed with contents (such as beverages such as milk), and the paper container according to this embodiment is a small paper carton filled with one person's portion of milk. As shown in Fig. 1, the paper container holder 2 includes a holder body 4, two legs 6a, 6b, and two arms (arms and arm 38b not shown).

[0012] The holder body 4 has a rectangular bottom 4a (see FIG. 4), a rectangular front wall 4b, a rectangular back wall 4c, a rectangular left wall 4d, and a rectangular right wall 4e. That is, the holder body 4 is a bottomed square tube that receives a paper container from the top and holds at least the lower part of the paper container. The dimensional ratio of the width direction (left-right direction) of the holder body 4 to the depth direction (up-down direction) of the holder body 4 corresponds to the dimensions of the paper container held by the paper container holder 2, and is 1:2 to 2:1.

[0013] When the holder body 4 is placed on a support surface, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear end of the bottom 4a abuts against the support surface, and the front end 31 of the bottom 4a is lifted by the legs 6a, 6b and positioned above the support surface.

[0014] The leg 6a is connected to the left wall 4d of the bottom 4a of the holder body 4 by a connecting part 34a (see FIG. 2) described later. A tip 36a of the leg 6a faces the left wall 4d side with respect to the base of the leg 6a, and protrudes from the front end 31. The leg 6b is connected to the right wall 4e of the bottom 4a of the holder body 4 by a connecting part 34b (see FIG. 2) described later. A tip 36b of the leg 6b faces the right wall 4e side with respect to the base of the leg 6b, and protrudes from the front end 31. The tips 36a, 36b may not protrude from the front end 31.

[0015] The arm (not shown) is connected to the left wall 4d of the holder body 4 by a connecting part 42a (see FIG. 2) described later, and protrudes from the base of the arm (connecting part 42a) to the tip of the arm outside the left wall 4d. The arm 38b is connected to the right wall 4e of the holder body 4 by a connecting part 42b (see FIG. 2) described later, and protrudes from the base of the arm 38b (connecting part 42b) to the tip of the arm 38b outside the right wall 4e.

[0016] Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the configuration of a paper container holder template for assembling and producing the paper container holder shown in Fig. 1. The paper container holder template 1 is made of an A4-sized paper carton that is easy to handle, and has a holder main body region 8 as shown in Fig. 2. After assembly, the holder main body region 8 becomes the holder main body 4 shown in Fig. 1. The size of the paper container holder template 1 may be a size other than A4.

[0017] A cutout portion 10 shown by a solid line in Fig. 2 is formed at the edge of the holder main body region 8. Here, since the cutout portion 10 is perforated, the holder main body region 8 can be easily cut out from the paper container holder 1 without using a tool such as scissors. The holder main body region 8 includes a rectangular bottom region 8a, a rectangular front wall region 8b, a rectangular back wall region 8c, a rectangular left wall region 8d, a rectangular right wall region 8e, a flap 21 connected to the lower end of the left wall region 8d in the plane of the paper, a flap 19 connected to the lower end of the right wall region 8e in the plane of the paper, a flap 23 connected to the left end of the back wall region 8c in the plane of the paper, a flap 29 connected to the lower end of the bottom region 8a in the plane of the paper, and a tuck 25 connected to the right end of the right wall region 8e in the plane of the paper. After assembly, the bottom region 8a becomes the bottom 4a of the holder body 4 shown in Figure 1, the front wall region 8b becomes the front wall 4b shown in Figure 1, the rear region 8c becomes the rear wall 4c shown in Figure 1, the left wall region 8d becomes the left wall 4d shown in Figure 1, and the right wall region 8e becomes the right wall 4e shown in Figure 1.

[0018] Two leg regions 32a and 32b are formed in the bottom region 8a. The leg regions 32a and 32b become the legs 6a and 6b shown in FIG. 1 after assembly. FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing the configuration of the bottom region 8a. The leg region 32a is located to the left of the center line C2 shown in a thick solid line, which is the center between the left end and the right end of the bottom region 8a. A connection portion 34a shown in a broken line is formed in the upper part of the leg region 32a, and a cutout portion 12a shown in a solid line is formed on the edge of the leg region 32a except for the connection portion 34a. The connection portion 34a connects the leg region 32a and the bottom region 8a, and is formed above the cutout portion 12a as shown in FIG. 3, and is formed on the center line C1 shown in a thick solid line, which is the center between the lower end and the upper end of the bottom region 8a, or above the center line C1. The leg region 32b is located to the right of the center line C2 of the bottom region 8a on the paper. A connection portion 34b shown by a dashed line is formed on the edge of the leg region 32b, and a cutout portion 12b shown by a solid line is formed on the edge of the leg region 32b excluding the connection portion 34b. The connection portion 34b connects the leg region 32b and the bottom region 8a, and is formed above the cutout portion 12b on the paper as shown in FIG. 3, and is formed on the center line C1 of the bottom region 8a or above the center line C1 on the paper. The cutout portions 12a and 12b are also perforated like the cutout portion 10.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, an arm region 40a is formed in the left wall region 8d. After assembly, the arm region 40a becomes an arm (not shown) connected to the left wall 4d shown in FIG. 1. A connection portion 42a shown by a dashed line is formed in the upper part of the arm region 40a, and a cutout portion 14a shown by a solid line is formed in the edge of the arm region 40a excluding the connection portion 42a. The connection portion 42a connects the arm region 40a to the left wall region 8d, and is formed above the cutout portion 14a. As shown in FIG. 2, an arm region 40b is formed in the right wall region 8e. After assembly, the arm region 40b becomes an arm 38b connected to the right wall 4e shown in FIG. 1. A connection portion 42b shown by a dashed line is formed in the upper part of the arm region 40b, and a cutout portion 14b shown by a solid line is formed in the edge of the arm region 40b excluding the connection portion 42b. The connecting portion 42b connects the arm region 40b and the right wall region 8e, and is formed above the cutout portion 14b in the drawing. Note that the cutout portions 14a and 14b are also perforated in the same manner as the cutout portion 10.

[0020] In the paper container holder template 1 according to this embodiment, the basis weight of the paper carton is 310 g / m 2 However, the basis weight of the paper carton is 100 to 500 g / m 2 , preferably 160 to 460 g / m 2 It is sufficient if the paper carton has a resin layer on both sides, and the resin layer on the back surface of the paper container holder template 1 is a laminate layer having a thickness of 20 to 80 μm. By providing a resin layer on the back surface of the paper container holder template 1, i.e., on the inner surface of the holder body 4 after assembly, it is possible to impart waterproofing, and even if a paper container with moisture on its outer surface is held, it is possible to prevent moisture from penetrating into the holder body 4.

[0021] FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the bottom 4a and the leg 6a of the holder body 4. In FIG. 4, 3a is a paper carton, 3c is a laminate layer on the back side of the paper container holder template 1, and 3b is a resin layer on the front side of the paper container holder template 1. By providing the laminate layer 3c on the back side of the paper container holder template 1, the connection part 34a of the leg 6a can be reinforced and the restoring ability (indicated by the arrow P in the figure) when buckled can be improved compared to when the laminate layer 3c is not provided. The same is true for the connection part 34b of the leg 6b. Therefore, the load-bearing capacity and folding resistance of the leg 6a, 6b produced by folding back the connection parts 34a, 34b connecting the leg regions 32a, 32b and the bottom region 8a can be improved, and even when a paper container with a small amount of contents remaining is held, the leg 6a, 6b can be prevented from being crushed by the paper container.

[0022] In addition, it is preferable to select a resin having a higher hardness for the resin layer on the back surface of the paper container holder template 1 than for the resin layer on the front surface of the paper container holder template 1. This can further increase the load resistance and folding resistance when crushed. In addition, an auxiliary leg area may be provided in the area of ​​the flaps 19, 21 that overlaps the leg areas 32a, 32b after assembly. The auxiliary leg area becomes the auxiliary leg after assembly. It is preferable that the shape of the auxiliary leg area (auxiliary leg) is the same as the shape of the leg areas 34a, 34b (legs 6a, 6b), and the size of the auxiliary leg area (auxiliary leg) is equal to or smaller than the size of the leg areas 34a, 34b (legs 6a, 6b). It is more preferable that the auxiliary leg area (auxiliary leg) is the same as the leg areas 34a, 34b (legs 6a, 6b) or a similar shape smaller than the leg areas 34a, 34b (legs 6a, 6b).

[0023] The configuration of the auxiliary leg region provided in the flap 21 is the same as the configuration of the leg region 32a located to the left of the bottom region 8a. That is, the auxiliary leg region provided in the flap 21 is connected to the flap 21 by a connection part, and a cutout part is formed on the edge of the auxiliary leg region excluding the connection part. Similarly, the configuration of the auxiliary leg region provided in the flap 19 is the same as the configuration of the leg region 32b located to the right of the bottom region 8a. That is, the auxiliary leg region provided in the flap 19 is connected to the flap 19 by a connection part, and a cutout part is formed on the edge of the auxiliary leg region excluding the connection part. As a result, even if a small amount of content remains in the paper container, the weight on the two legs is supported by substantially four legs, which makes it possible to further improve the load-bearing capacity and folding resistance.

[0024] The resin layer on the surface of the paper container holder template 1 is a laminate layer having a thickness of 10 to 40 μm, or a coating layer having a thickness of 5 to 20 μm coated with a water-based paint (a relatively thick layer among these can be formed by stacking multiple laminate layers or coating layers). This makes it possible to prevent the paper carton from becoming wet and deformed even if moisture adheres to the holder body 4 from the outside. In addition, in order to make it easier to crease the connection parts 34a, 34b of the legs 6a, 6b during assembly, it is preferable that the resin layer on the surface of the paper container holder template 1 has a thickness equal to or less than the resin layer on the back surface, that is, the resin layer on the surface is not the same thickness as the resin layer on the back surface.

[0025] Next, a method for assembling and producing the paper container holder 2 shown in Fig. 1 from the paper container holder template 1 shown in Fig. 2 will be described. In the paper container holder template 1, a cutout portion 10 of the holder body region 8 that will become the holder body 4 of the paper container holder 2 shown in Fig. 1 is cut out. Note that the front surface of the holder body region 8 shown in Fig. 2 will become the outer surface of the holder body 4 shown in Fig. 1 after assembly, and the back surface of the holder body region 8 will become the inner surface of the holder body 4 after assembly.

[0026] Cut-out portion 12a of leg region 32a that will become leg 6a of paper container holder 2 shown in Fig. 1 and cut-out portion 12b of leg region 32b that will become leg 6b are cut out. Leg region 32a is folded back from connection portion 34a, and leg region 32b is folded back from connection portion 34b toward front wall region 8b, thereby forming legs 6a and 6b shown in Fig. 1.

[0027] Next, cut-out portion 14a of arm region 40a that will become an arm (not shown) of paper container holder 2, and cut-out portion 14b of arm region 40b that will become arm 38b of paper container holder 2 shown in Fig. 1 are cut out. Arm region 40a is folded from connection portion 42a, and arm region 40b is folded from connection portion 42b, with the surface of holder main body region 8 facing the valley side, to form an arm (not shown) protruding from left wall 4d shown in Fig. 1, and arm 38b protruding from right wall 4e shown in Fig. 1.

[0028] Next, the fold line 16 shown by the dashed line at the connection portion where the front wall region 8b and the right wall region 8e are connected, the fold line 17 shown by the dashed line at the connection portion where the front wall region 8b and the left wall region 8d are connected, the fold line 18 shown by the dashed line at the connection portion where the left wall region 8d and the back wall region 8c are connected, and the fold line 24 shown by the dashed line at the connection portion where the back wall region 8c and the flap 23 are connected are mountain folded. The fold line 26 shown by the dashed line at the connection portion where the right wall region 8e and the tuck 25 are connected is mountain folded, and the tuck 25 is inserted into the notch 27 (shown by the solid line) formed in the center of the fold line 24. Then, after mountain folding at crease line 20, which is the connection between right wall region 8e and flap 19 and at crease line 22, which is the connection between left wall region 8d and flap 21, which is shown by a broken line, a mountain folding is performed at crease line 28, which is the connection between front wall region 8b and bottom region 8a and shown by a broken line. The holder body 4 shown in FIG. 1 is assembled by mountain folding at crease line 30, which is the connection between bottom region 8a and flap 29 and shown by a broken line, and inserting flap 29 between bottom region 8a and back wall region 8c.

[0029] As described above, when the auxiliary leg regions are provided on the flaps 19 and 21, the cutouts of the auxiliary leg regions are cut out when cutting out the cutouts 12a and 12b of the leg regions 32a and 32b. Then, the holder body 4 is assembled, and after the leg region 32a and the auxiliary leg region provided on the flap 21 are overlapped, the leg region 32a is folded back from the connection portion 34a and the auxiliary leg region is folded back from the connection portion of the auxiliary leg region toward the front wall region 8b. After the leg region 32b and the auxiliary leg region provided on the flap 19 are overlapped, the leg region 32b is folded back from the connection portion 34b and the auxiliary leg region is folded back from the connection portion of the auxiliary leg region toward the front wall region 8b.

[0030] According to the first embodiment, the paper container holder 2 can be easily assembled from the paper container holder pattern 1 without the need for gluing. For example, when the paper container holder 2 is used as a holder for children's beverage packs, even children can simply and easily assemble the paper container holder 2 from the paper container holder pattern 1 according to this embodiment. Therefore, by distributing the paper container holder pattern 1 to children at exhibitions, schools, etc., the children themselves can assemble the paper container holder 2 from the paper container holder pattern 1. In addition, since the paper container holder 2 has legs and arms, it has a friendly design that allows it to be personified (made into a mascot character) with the arms as hands and the legs as feet, and the paper container holder 2 can also be used as a toy for children. In the case of the paper container holder 2 for holding paper packs containing milk, it is expected that assembling the paper container holder 2 and having it used as a toy will motivate children who dislike milk to like milk. Furthermore, applications other than for children include displaying new products held in the paper container holder 2 at new product exhibitions for beverages filled in paper containers, and assembling and manufacturing paper container holders 2 from paper container holder templates 1 in nursing care and rehabilitation. Although the above description has been given using a paper container (paper carton) filled and sealed with contents (such as beverages like milk) as an example of an object to be held in the paper container holder 2, the object to be held is not limited to a filled liquid paper container, and it is of course possible to use liquid paper containers after drinking has been completed, paper boxes other than liquid paper containers (such as candy boxes) that have bottom dimensions that can be accommodated in the holder, etc.

[0031] Next, a paper container holder and a paper container holder template according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that, for the paper container holder according to the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those of the paper container holder 2 shown in Fig. 1, and for the paper container holder template according to the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those of the paper container holder template 1 shown in Fig. 2, and illustration and description thereof will be omitted. Fig. 5 is an external perspective view showing the configuration of an assembled paper container holder that holds paper containers, and Fig. 6 is a plan view showing the configuration of a paper container holder template for assembling and producing the paper container holder shown in Fig. 5.

[0032] The paper container holder 52 shown in Fig. 5 includes a holder body 54, two legs 6a, 6b, and two arms (arms and arm 38b, not shown). The holder body 54 has a bottom 54a instead of the bottom 4a of the holder body 4 shown in Fig. 1, a front wall 55a at the lower left side and a front wall 55b at the lower right side instead of the front wall 4b, a left wall 54d instead of the left wall 4d, and a right wall 54e instead of the right wall 4e. The left wall 54d and the right wall 54e have rounded upper front portions.

[0033] The front wall of the holder body 54 is hollowed out, leaving only a lower left front wall 55a and a lower right front wall 55b. The lower left front wall 55a is connected to the lower part of the left wall 54d and the left part of the bottom 54a. The lower right front wall 55b is connected to the lower part of the right wall 54e and the right part of the bottom 54a. In this embodiment, the lower left front wall 55a and the lower right front wall 55b are triangular in shape, but they may be polygonal or quadrangular in shape other than triangular.

[0034] Furthermore, a cutout 50 is formed in the front center of the bottom 54a of the holder body 54. By having the cutout 50, the paper container can be easily removed from the paper container holder 54 by pushing up the bottom of the paper container exposed from the cutout 50, which is particularly effective when the height of the paper container is equal to or less than the height of the paper container holder 54.
