Container

Abstract

To provide a container whose body part is formed by rolling a body paper and adhering both ends by a seam, in which the patterns of the body part do not cause odd feeling even in the case where the seam shifts, by a simple method.SOLUTION: A container 10 comprises a bottom part 11, a body part 12 and a rolled rim 13, where the body part 12 is formed by rolling a body paper on which a pattern group 14 is applied and connecting both ends in a circumferential direction by a seam 15. In the pattern group 14 of the body part 12, patterns of an area straddling over the seam 15 include a lateral line L which extends in a circumferential direction of the body part 12 and match at the seam 15. Because the lateral line L generally matches even if the seam 15 shifts in the circumferential direction of the body part 12, odd feeling is hard to occur.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container and a method for manufacturing the same. Regarding. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Paper containers suitable for storing food and the like are known. This type of container has a bottom and a body that rises from the bottom, and it is common for patterns to be applied to the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the body to enhance the design.

[0003] As an example of a general method for manufacturing this type of container, first, a fan-shaped body paper for forming the body and a circular bottom paper for forming the bottom are punched out from base paper, as shown in FIG. 5. The bottom paper is then drawn to make its peripheral edge hang down, and in this state is set on the bottom of a cup-shaped mold. The body paper is coated with a resin such as polyethylene, and heat is applied to both ends of the body paper to melt and soften the resin.

[0004] Next, the body paper is wrapped around a cup-shaped mold and rolled up, and both ends are glued together at the seams. At the same time, the hanging portion of the bottom paper and the peripheral edge of the lower opening of the body paper are bonded together by melting and softening the resin using a heater. Furthermore, using a jig, the peripheral edge of the lower opening of the body paper is joined by folding it over the hanging part of the bottom paper. Finally, the upper opening of the body wrap is curled by curling or the like.

[0005] In this case, the pattern on the body is printed or otherwise applied to the body paper in advance, and is designed so that the pattern will continue when the body is rolled up if the seams are connected without any misalignment.

[0006] However, in reality, there is a limit to the accuracy of gluing, so the seam may shift in the circumferential direction of the body (horizontal shift), in the depth direction of the body (vertical shift), or in both directions.In addition, when the body paper is punched out from the base paper, horizontal and vertical shifts may occur, causing the seam to shift in both directions. When misalignment occurs at the seams, the pattern becomes discontinuous due to unevenness at the seams, which tends to give an unnatural appearance.

[0007] In this regard, as in Patent Document 1, attempts have been made to suppress misalignment at the seam by providing a reference mark and a printed mark and determining the misalignment based on the relative positional relationship between the two marks. However, this method is time-consuming, and if the criteria are too strict, the waste rate will increase, which will also increase costs. Furthermore, in an actual manufacturing line, various uncertain factors come into play, making it impossible to completely eliminate the deviation itself. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2022-169390 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] Therefore, the inventors, assuming that it is impossible to completely eliminate misalignment at seams, decided to conduct intensive research based on a change in thinking, asking how to prevent misalignment from affecting the design of the pattern if it does occur.

[0010] In other words, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a simple method for making the pattern on a container, the body of which is formed by rolling up a body paper and gluing both ends together at a seam, so that it is less likely to look strange even if the seam is misaligned. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the container of the invention comprises a bottom and a body rising from the bottom, the body being made by rolling up a body paper having a group of patterns consisting of a plurality of different patterns on at least one side, and both ends of the body being connected in the circumferential direction by a seam, the group of patterns on the body including a pattern at a point spanning the seam that extends in the circumferential direction of the body and includes a horizontal line that coincides with the seam, and the horizontal lines generally coincide even if the seam is shifted in the circumferential direction of the body.

[0012] Because the container according to the invention is constructed as described above, even if the seam of the body is misaligned in the circumferential direction (lateral shift), the horizontal lines that make up the pattern at the seam crossing the seam generally match (connect), thus reducing the appearance of incongruity in a simple manner. Even if there is misalignment, there is no need to discard the container, improving yield and reducing costs. Note that "generally matched" means that the degree of misalignment, relative to the assumption that there is no misalignment, is within the range of more than 0 mm and 2 mm or less. However, given the accuracy of seam misalignment during body formation on an actual manufacturing line, a range of 0.5 mm to 2 mm is considered to be "generally matched."

[0013] In the container of the invention, the pattern group consists of a regular pattern group that will appear around the entire circumference of the body when the seam is connected correctly, and an excess pattern group that is added so that the pattern will not be interrupted even if the seam is connected misaligned, and it is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the regular pattern group and the excess pattern group are parallel to each other in the circumferential direction of the body, the horizontal line is continuous on the boundary between the regular pattern group and the excess pattern group, and the horizontal line at the point spanning the seam will generally coincide even if the seam is located at any position on the excess pattern group.

[0014] With this configuration, even if the seam is shifted to any position on the excess pattern group in the circumferential direction of the body, the horizontal lines will generally match, making it possible to more reliably reduce the appearance of incongruity.

[0015] In the container of the invention, the pattern may be a wave pattern, and the horizontal lines may be horizontal lines that extend circumferentially around the body and indicate a water surface that curves gently in the depth direction. The pattern may be an island pattern, and the horizontal lines may be horizontal lines that extend in the circumferential direction of the body and that move up and down in small increments in the depth direction to indicate the outline of the islands. Furthermore, the pattern may be a mountain pattern, and the horizontal lines may be horizontal lines that extend in the circumferential direction of the body and show the ridgelines of the mountains that move up and down in small increments in the depth direction.

[0016] With this configuration, the main lines of the drawings in various patterns that imitate natural objects generally match even if the seams are misaligned, so there is very little discomfort in appearance. The patterns feature motifs of waves, islands, mountains, etc., which do not look out of place even if the seams shift (shift sideways) around the circumference of the body, stretching or shrinking, making them look good. Waves, islands, and mountains move up and down in small increments and curve gently, so even if the seams are slightly misaligned up and down (even vertically), it does not look unnatural.

[0017] In the container of the present invention, the group of patterns on the body may be configured such that the patterns across the seam have a gradation in the depth direction of the body.

[0018] With this configuration, even if the seam is slightly misaligned up and down (even if it is misaligned vertically), the effect of the gradation makes the misalignment less noticeable and creates less of a sense of incongruity.

[0019] In the container of the present invention, the group of patterns on the body portion may be configured so that the patterns across the seam are repeated continuously in the depth direction of the body portion, and so that even if the seam is misaligned in the depth direction of the body portion, the group of patterns on the body portion may generally match adjacent repeating patterns. Note that "generally matching" means that the degree of misalignment relative to the assumed no misalignment is within a range of more than 0 mm and not more than 2 mm, but it is considered to be "generally matching" if it is within a range of 0.5 mm to 2 mm based on the accuracy of misalignment of the seam when forming the body portion on an actual production line.

[0020] With this configuration, even if the seam is misaligned up or down (vertical misalignment), the repeating pattern will match the adjacent patterns above and below, making the misalignment less noticeable and creating less of a sense of incongruity.

[0021] In the container according to the present invention, the group of patterns on the body may be divided into a plurality of subgroups of patterns that differ in the depth direction from the vicinity of the opening to the vicinity of the bottom.

[0022] With this configuration, as the contents of the container, such as food, decrease, a pattern appears in multiple stages, making it very interesting.

[0023] In the container of the invention, the small pattern groups on the body are, in order from near the opening to near the bottom, a first small pattern group showing a sky pattern, a second small pattern group showing a mountain pattern, and a third small pattern group showing a flower pattern, and a configuration can be adopted in which the ridge lines of the mountains in the mountain pattern are the horizontal lines. In addition, the pattern subgroups on the body can be configured to consist of, in order from near the opening to near the bottom, a first pattern subgroup showing a sky pattern, a second pattern subgroup showing a sea pattern, and a third pattern subgroup showing a seabed pattern, and the water surface of the sea pattern can be the horizontal line.

[0024] When configured in this way, the patterns that appear in multiple stages as the contents of the container, such as food, decrease are conceptually connected, creating a rich story-like quality, and if the contents are food, the patterns are reminiscent of food, such as seafood or mountain produce, making it very interesting. Even if the seams are misaligned in the most striking parts of the overall pattern, such as the surface of water or the ridges of mountains, they generally match, resulting in a minimal sense of incongruity.

[0025] The container of the present invention may further include a rim connected to the opening of the body, and the pattern subgroups on the body may have less margin as they extend from the rim to the vicinity of the opening, and more margin as they extend closer to the bottom.

[0026] When configured in this manner, the small group of patterns from the rim to the vicinity of the opening that are exposed when the container is filled with food or other contents have little white space and appear to be filled in with a dark color, which creates a so-called frame effect that visually highlights the contents, which is preferable. The small group of patterns near the bottom has a large amount of white space, so the entire body does not appear overly decorated.

[0027] In the container according to the present invention, the small pattern group near the bottom may be interrupted at a location spanning the seam.

[0028] With this configuration, the small pattern group near the bottom has a large margin and is not conspicuous, so even if the pattern is interrupted at the point across the seam, the overall impression is not very memorable. If the pattern is interrupted, even if the seam is shifted in the circumferential direction or in the depth direction of the body (vertical or horizontal), the shift is not visible, so it is unlikely to cause any discomfort.

[0029] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a container having a bottom and a body portion rising from the bottom, the body portion being made by rolling up body paper with a pattern group consisting of a plurality of different patterns on at least one side, and having both ends of the body portion connected in the circumferential direction with a seam, in which the pattern group on the body portion includes a horizontal line that extends in the circumferential direction of the body portion and coincides with the seam, the pattern group consisting of a regular pattern group that will appear around the entire circumference of the body portion when the seam is joined correctly, and an excess pattern group that is added so that the patterns will not be interrupted even if the seam is joined misaligned, the regular pattern group and the excess pattern group are parallel to each other in the circumferential direction of the body portion, and the horizontal line is continuous on the boundary between the regular pattern group and the excess pattern group, and the body paper is connected with the seam so that the seam is positioned on the excess pattern group.

[0030] The manufacturing method of the container according to the invention is configured as described above, so even if the seam of the body is misaligned in the circumferential direction (laterally misaligned), the horizontal lines that make up the pattern at the seam crossing the seam will generally match (connect), thereby reducing the appearance of incongruity in a simple manner. Even if the seam is misaligned, there is no need to discard the container, which improves yield and reduces costs. [Effects of the Invention]

[0031] Because the container and its manufacturing method according to the invention are configured as described above, it is possible to use a simple method to prevent the pattern on the body from looking strange even if the seam is misaligned. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0033] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A container 10 of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 is suitable for use in storing food. 1 to 3, the container 10 has a circular bottom 11 and a body 12 that widens slightly and rises from the bottom 11, and the body 12 is open upward. A rim 13 is attached to the upper edge of the body 12.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a pattern group 14 as a collection of different patterns is applied to the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 12. The pattern group 14 is made up of a first pattern subgroup a on the side closer to the opening of the body 12 and a second pattern subgroup b on the side closer to the bottom 11. The first pattern subgroup a imitates the roofs of adjacent houses connected together. The second pattern subgroup b, unlike the first pattern subgroup a, imitates the lit windows (round windows) of the houses. Although not shown in the figure, the side closer to the opening of the body 12 than the first pattern subgroup a is painted in a dark color to resemble the night sky. On the other hand, the area from the first pattern subgroup a to the second pattern subgroup b, which as a whole resembles houses, is painted the body's base color (white). Therefore, when looking at the entire body 12, the side closer to the opening is a dark colored area with little white space, while the side closer to the bottom is an area with more white space.

[0035] The first pattern subgroup a is a horizontal line L that continues in the circumferential direction of the body portion 12, extends in the circumferential direction of the body portion 12, and moves slightly up and down in the depth direction of the body portion 12. The horizontal line L does not move up and down in the depth direction at the location across the seam 15, and remains at a constant height. Unlike the first pattern subgroup a, the second pattern subgroup b has circles intermittently arranged at approximately equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the body portion 12. The second pattern subgroup b is constant in the depth direction of the body portion 12.

[0036] As shown in Figs. 2(a) and 3(a), when the container 10 is filled with food F as the contents, the first pattern subgroup a and the second pattern subgroup b are both hidden. As food F is eaten from this state, a first pattern group a, which represents the roofs of houses lined up, appears, as shown in Figure 2(b). As food is eaten further, a second pattern group b, which represents lit windows, appears in addition to the first pattern group a, as shown in Figure 3(b), and as a whole, a pattern group 14, which resembles houses under the night sky, is revealed. In this case, it is preferable that the first pattern subgroup a is positioned at least 3 mm below the apex of the edge wrapping 13, since it has a greater visual effect if the first pattern subgroup a is initially completely hidden by the food F.

[0037] The pattern group 14 is applied to the body paper that forms the body 12 by suitable means such as printing. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the pattern group 14 consists of a regular pattern group 14a that will appear around the entire circumference of the body when the seam 15 is joined in the correct position, and an extra pattern group 14b that is added so that the pattern will not be interrupted even if the seam 15 is joined in a misaligned position. The boundary between the formal pattern group 14a and the redundant pattern group 14b is the original planned joint line.

[0038] The horizontal line L of the first pattern subgroup a continues from the formal pattern group 14a to the surplus pattern group 14b, and its height in the depth direction of the body 12 is constant in the surplus pattern group 14b. Therefore, even if the seam 15 is shifted in the circumferential direction of the body (shifted laterally), the horizontal line L will generally match as long as it is located at an arbitrary position in the surplus pattern group 14b. Therefore, even if the joint 15 is misaligned, the only difference in impression is that the length of the connected roofs becomes slightly longer, and the sense of incongruity is very small. In FIG. 4(b), the paper ends are stacked so that the end of the paper on the left side of the drawing is on top and the end of the paper on the right side of the drawing is on the bottom.

[0039] The circles of the second pattern subgroup b are provided intermittently at predetermined intervals from the formal pattern group 14a to the surplus pattern group 14b. Here too, even if the seam 15 shifts circumferentially (sideways) around the body, the spacing between the circles will be different or the circles will be slightly missing, and since the dimensions of the circles are small to begin with, there will be no significant discomfort.

[0040] Such a container 10 is produced from a bottom paper constituting the bottom portion 11 and a body paper constituting the body portion 12 as shown in FIG. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 5(a), a fan-shaped body paper for forming the body portion 12 and a circular bottom paper for forming the bottom portion 11 are punched out of base paper using a punch P. The bottom paper is drawn to droop its peripheral edge to form a drooping portion 11a, and in this state is set on the bottom of a cup-shaped mold M. The body paper is coated with a resin such as polyethylene, and by applying heat to both ends of the body paper, the resin is melted and softened to form melt-softened portions 12a.

[0041] Next, as shown in Figure 5(b), the body paper is wrapped around the body of the cup-shaped mold M and rolled up, and the melted and softened portions at both ends are sandwiched using a heater C for forming the body portion, and bonded together at a seam 15. At this time, the seam 15 is adjusted so that it falls within the range of the excess pattern group 14b. At the same time, as shown in the figure, the hanging portion 11a of the bottom paper and the peripheral edge of the lower opening of the body paper are bonded together by melting and softening the resin using a bottom forming heater H. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5(c), a jig J is used to join the peripheral edge of the lower opening of the body paper by folding it over the hanging portion 11a of the bottom paper. Finally, as shown in FIG. 5(d), the upper opening of the body paper is subjected to curling or the like to form a hemmed edge 13. The method for manufacturing the container of the embodiment is as described above.

[0042] FIG. 6 shows another example of the container 10 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 6(a), it is assumed that a third pattern subgroup c consisting of gradation patterns is further added to the pattern group 14 shown in FIGS. In addition, in FIG. 6(b), a third pattern subgroup d consisting of a diagonal lattice-like repeating pattern is further added to the pattern group 14 shown in FIGS. In both cases, pattern subgroups a and b are omitted.

[0043] In FIG. 6(a), even if the seam 15 is displaced in the depth direction of the body (vertical displacement), the effect of the gradation makes the displacement less noticeable and less likely to cause discomfort. In Figure 6(b), even if the seam 15 is shifted in the depth direction of the body (vertical shift), the adjacent diagonal grid patterns above and below tend to match, so the shift is not noticeable and is less likely to cause discomfort.

[0044] FIG. 7 shows yet another example of the container 10 according to the embodiment. In this example, a pattern group 14 is similarly applied to the inner peripheral surface of the body 12, but from near the opening of the body 12 to near the bottom, it consists of a first pattern subgroup e showing a starry night sky pattern, a second pattern subgroup f showing a mountain pattern, and a third pattern subgroup g showing a flower pattern. The first pattern subgroup e is painted in a solid dark color except for the stars, leaving little white space, while the second pattern subgroup f and the third pattern subgroup g have a lot of white space.

[0045] As the contents of a container such as food F decrease, the patterns that appear in multiple stages, in the order of the first pattern subgroup e, the second pattern subgroup f, and the third pattern subgroup g, are rich in story-like qualities because they are conceptually connected to mountain regions. Moreover, when the contents are food F, the patterns are reminiscent of food F, such as the bounty of the mountains, making it a very interesting product.

[0046] In this example, the ridge lines of the mountains in the mountain pattern in the second pattern subgroup f form horizontal lines L as shown in the figure. The ridgeline of the mountain moves up and down in the depth direction of the body portion 12, but in the vicinity of the seam 15, it is at a substantially constant height in the depth direction. Therefore, even if the seam 15 is displaced in the circumferential direction of the body 12, it is only seen as a difference in whether the width of the peak (crater) of the mountain is wide or narrow, and there is little sense of incongruity.

[0047] In this example, the floral pattern in the third pattern subgroup g is interrupted near the seam 15 as shown in the figure. Therefore, even if the seam 15 is displaced in the circumferential direction or depth direction of the body 12, it is only seen as a difference in whether the interval between adjacent flowers is wide or narrow, or whether the heights are the same or slightly different, and there is little sense of incongruity.

[0048] FIG. 8 shows yet another example of the container 10 according to the embodiment. In this example, a pattern group 14 is similarly applied to the inner peripheral surface of the body 12, but from near the opening of the body 12 to near the bottom, it consists of a first pattern subgroup h showing the pattern of a starry night sky, a second pattern subgroup i showing the pattern of waves and islands, and a third pattern subgroup j showing the pattern of the seabed. The first pattern subgroup h is solidly painted in a dark color except for the stars, leaving little white space, while the second pattern subgroup i and the third pattern subgroup j have a lot of white space.

[0049] As the contents of a container such as food F decrease, the patterns that appear in multiple stages, in the order of the first pattern subgroup h, the second pattern subgroup i, and the third pattern subgroup j, are connected to the concept of the sea, making them rich in storytelling. Moreover, when the contents are food F, the patterns are reminiscent of food F, such as seafood, making them very interesting.

[0050] In this example, the water surface of the wave pattern and the outline of the island pattern in the second pattern subgroup i form horizontal lines L as shown in the figure. The water surface of the wave undulates gently in the depth direction of the body 12, but in the vicinity of the joint 15, it has a constant height in the depth direction. Therefore, even if the seam 15 is displaced in the circumferential direction of the body portion 12, it is only seen as a difference in whether the wave width is wide or narrow, and there is little sense of incongruity.

[0051] In this example, the seabed pattern in the third pattern subgroup j is discontinued near the seam 15 as shown in the figure. Therefore, even if the seam 15 is displaced in the circumferential direction or depth direction of the body 12, it is only seen as a difference in whether the intervals between adjacent aquatic plants, corals, etc. are wide or narrow, or whether the heights are the same or slightly different, and there is little sense of incongruity.

[0052] The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and are not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, and includes all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0053] The shape of the container 10 is not limited to that of the embodiment, and may be an oval shape in plan view. The rim 13 may be omitted. The pattern group 14 is not limited to the embodiment as long as it is made up of a plurality of different patterns. For example, natural objects, artificial objects, characters, etc. can be used as appropriate motifs. In the embodiment, the pattern group 14 is applied only to the inner peripheral surface of the body 12, but this is not limited thereto, and the pattern group 14 may be applied only to the outer peripheral surface of the body 12 or to both surfaces of the body 12. Also, in the embodiment, no pattern is applied to the bottom 11, but a pattern may also be applied to the bottom 11. The number of horizontal lines L is not limited to that in the embodiment, and may be arranged in parallel in the depth direction of the body portion 12, for example. The number of layers of the pattern subgroup in the depth direction of the body is not limited to that in the embodiment, and may be, for example, four or more layers. The body paper and bottom paper referred to in the present invention include not only paper but also sheet-like materials similar to paper, such as resin sheets. [Explanation of symbols]
