[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3137275 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When the container shown in Figure 7 is subjected to the work of storing contents and commercializing it, it is necessary to line up the container body 2 and the lid body 1, place the contents in the container body 2, and close the lid body 1. For example, as shown in Figure 8, in order to line up a large number of containers (two in Figure 8) in a work area for the storage work, it is necessary to line up the same number of container bodies 2 and lid bodies 1 (total length J1). In other words, if the same number of containers are lined up in a space corresponding to the length J1, the lined-up number of container bodies 2 and lid bodies 1 will occupy the same amount of space, which will increase the occupied space and may result in high storage costs. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a packaging container and a method for storing the packaging container that enable effective use of work space in a workplace. [Means for solving the problem]

Specifically, according to Solution 1, a container includes a container body having a bottom, a container sidewall rising from the bottom, and a container peripheral portion disposed outside the container sidewall, and capable of accommodating contents through an opening surrounded by the container sidewall; a lid that closes the opening of the container body; and a lid peripheral portion disposed outside the lid, wherein the container peripheral portion and the lid peripheral portion can overlap each other when the container body and the lid are closed. In this packaging container, the lid has a lid receiving portion inside the lid peripheral portion that protrudes opposite the container body, allowing a portion of the container body of another packaging container to be placed above the lid peripheral portion of the lid of the packaging container placed below to be placed over it. The height of the container peripheral portion is preferably set higher than the height of the lid receiving portion. Furthermore, the container body and the lid that closes the opening of the container body preferably have similar shapes, with respect to the shape of the container peripheral portion and the shape of the container peripheral portion.

[0006] According to Means 2, in Means 1, in the method of storing a packaging container that stores contents inside the container body, a part of the container body of another packaging container that is placed above is placed on top of the peripheral portion of the lid of the packaging container that is placed below.

[0007] According to Means 3, a container body includes a bottom portion, a container sidewall portion rising from the bottom portion, and a container peripheral portion disposed outside the container sidewall portion, and can accommodate contents through an opening surrounded by the container sidewall portion; a lid body that closes the opening of the container body; and a lid peripheral portion disposed outside the lid body, wherein the container peripheral portion and the lid peripheral portion can overlap each other when the container body and the lid body are closed. In this packaging container, the lid body has a receptacle portion that protrudes opposite the container body side, located inside the lid peripheral portion, allowing a portion of the lid of another packaging container positioned above to be placed inside the container peripheral portion of the container body of the packaging container positioned below. The height of the container peripheral portion is preferably set higher than the height of the lid receiving portion. Furthermore, it is preferable that the container body and the lid have similar shapes, such as the shape of the container peripheral portion and the container peripheral portion.

[0008] According to Means 4, in Means 3, in the method of storing a packaging container that stores contents in a container body, a portion of the lid body of the packaging container located above is placed on top of the container side wall portion of the container body of the packaging container located below. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The packaging container of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a packaging container 9 of this embodiment as seen from the front side, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the packaging container 9 of Fig. 1 as seen from the back side. Fig. 3 is a front view of the packaging container 9 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the packaging container 9 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing two packaging containers 9 of Fig. 1 lined up in a work area. That is, Fig. 5 shows a state in which a portion of the packaging container 9A on the left side overlaps a portion of the packaging container 9B on the right side (in this case, Fig. 1 shows a state in which the container body 10 of the packaging container 9B on the right side overlaps the lid body 20 of the packaging container 9A arranged on the left side).

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 , the packaging container 9 includes a container body 10, a hinge portion 15, and a lid 20. The container body 10 and the lid 20 are attached via the hinge portion 15. In this case, the packaging container 9 is integrally formed from a resilient, transparent synthetic resin material (e.g., polypropylene resin) or the like. The hinge portion 15 has a predetermined length between the container body 10 and the lid 20, and can be rotated so that the lid 20 covers the container body 10 and opens from the container body 10. The packaging container 9 may include components other than the container body 10, the hinge portion 15, and the lid 20, as necessary. The container body 10, the hinge portion 15, and the lid 20 may be formed from a synthetic resin other than polypropylene. The container body 10, hinge portion 15, and lid body 20, which are made of synthetic resin, can be molded integrally into complex shapes, and as will be described later, the hinge portion 15 is designed to maintain a predetermined height (height H3 shown in Figure 3) when the lid body 20 is open from the container body 10. The container body 10 comprises a container sidewall 12 rising from the bottom surface 11, and further comprises a container rim 13 disposed on the outside of the container sidewall 12. The container body 10 can accommodate contents (not shown) through an opening 14 surrounded by the container sidewall 12. The bottom surface 11 extends substantially horizontally and has a large flat surface. A plurality of ribs 11A for placing contents are arranged on the surface of the bottom surface 11, and the contents can be, for example, food such as fruit or lunch boxes, or other items, and can be accommodated therein. The connecting portion 11B connecting the bottom portion 11 and the container side wall portion 12 is rounded to prevent damage to the contents, and similarly, the connecting portion 16 connecting the container side wall portion 12 and the container peripheral portion 13 is rounded. In this case, the container side wall portion 12 forms a side wall portion that rises steeply, while the container peripheral portion 13 forms a shape that extends outward in an almost horizontal direction.

[0014] Container side wall 12 includes one-side container side wall 12A located away from hinge 15, and also includes another-side container side wall 12C located close to hinge 15. Container side wall 12 also includes one-side container side wall 12B (peripheral portion located on the far side of FIG. 1) connecting one-side container side wall 12A and the other-side container side wall 12C, and also includes an opposite-side container side wall 12D (peripheral portion located on the near side of FIG. 1) connecting one-side container side wall 12A and the other-side container side wall 12C. The one-side container side wall 12A, the one-side container side wall 12B, the other-side container side wall 12C, and the other-side container side wall 12D form one side of a substantially square (rectangular) shape in plan view. Therefore, the one-side container side wall 12A and the other-side container side wall 12C have approximately the same length and face each other. The one-side container side wall 12B and the other-side container side wall 12D also have approximately the same length and face each other. Corners 12E (four corners in this case) connecting the one-side container side wall 12A, the one-side container side wall 12B, the other-side container side wall 12C, and the other-side container side wall 12D are rounded. Alternatively, the one-side container side wall 12A, the one-side container side wall 12B, the other-side container side wall 12C, and the other-side container side wall 12D may form the short and long sides of a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. Furthermore, as a modified example, the shape of the container side wall portion 12 in plan view may be a circle, an ellipse, or the like other than a rectangular shape (rectangular shape).

[0015] Container peripheral portion 13 includes one-side container peripheral portion 13A (periphery located away from hinge portion 15) that is continuous with one-side container side wall portion 12A, and further includes another-side container peripheral portion 13C (periphery located closer to hinge portion 15) that is continuous with the other-side container side wall portion 12C. Container peripheral portion 13 also includes one-side container peripheral portion 13B (periphery located on the back side of FIG. 1) that is continuous with one-side container side wall portion 12B, and an opposite-side container peripheral portion 13D (periphery located on the front side of FIG. 1) that is continuous with the opposite-side container side wall portion 12D. The one-side container periphery 13A, the one-side container periphery 13B, the other-side container periphery 13C, and the other-side container periphery 13D form one side of a substantially square (rectangular) shape in plan view. Therefore, the one-side container periphery 13A and the other-side container periphery 13C are of approximately the same length and face each other. The one-side container periphery 13B and the other-side container periphery 13D are of approximately the same length and face each other. Corners 13E (four corners in this case) connecting the one-side container periphery 13A, the one-side container periphery 13B, the other-side container periphery 13C, and the other-side container periphery 13D are rounded. Alternatively, the one-side container periphery 13A, the one-side container periphery 13B, the other-side container periphery 13C, and the other-side container periphery 13D may form the short and long sides of a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. Furthermore, as a modified example, the shape of the container peripheral portion 13 in plan view may be a circle, an ellipse, or the like other than a rectangle (rectangular). The one-side container periphery 13A, the one-side container periphery 13B, the other-side container periphery 13C, and the opposite-side container periphery 13D form an opening 14 that is approximately square (rectangular) in plan view, and this opening 14 is continuous with an opening 12F formed by the one-side container side wall 12A, the one-side container side wall 12B, the other-side container side wall 12C, and the opposite-side container side wall 12D.

[0016] The lid 20 includes a top surface 21 located above the lid, a lid housing portion 22 that connects to the top surface 21 and protrudes toward the opposite side of the container body 10, and a lid peripheral portion 23 disposed on the outside of the lid housing portion 22 (lid 20). A connecting portion 24 connecting the top surface 21 and the lid housing portion 22 is rounded to prevent damage to the contents. Similarly, a connecting portion 25 connecting the lid housing portion 22 and the lid peripheral portion 23 is rounded. In this case, most of the lid housing portion 22 (excluding the lid housing portion wall 22A on one side) forms a steeply rising wall, while the lid peripheral portion 23 extends outward in a substantially horizontal direction. It is desirable for the top surface 21 to have a large flat portion to make the contents easier to see. The lid body accommodating section 22 has a one-side lid body accommodating section wall 22A located away from the hinge section 15, and further has an other-side lid body accommodating section wall 22C located close to the hinge section 15. The lid body accommodating section wall 22 also has a one-side lid body accommodating section wall 22B (the accommodating section wall located on the far side in FIG. 1) connecting the one-side lid body accommodating section wall 22A and the other-side lid body accommodating section wall 22C, and further has an opposite-side lid body accommodating section wall 22D (the accommodating section wall located on the near side in FIG. 1) connecting the lid body accommodating section wall 22A and the other-side lid body accommodating section wall 22C. The one-side lid accommodating wall 22A, the one-side lid accommodating wall 22B, the other-side lid accommodating wall 22C, and the opposite-side lid accommodating wall 22D form one side of a square. Therefore, the one-side lid accommodating wall 22A and the other-side lid accommodating wall 22C have approximately the same length and face each other. The one-side lid accommodating wall 22B and the opposite-side lid accommodating wall 22D also have approximately the same length and face each other. Corners 22E (four corners in this case) connecting the one-side lid accommodating wall 22A, the one-side lid accommodating wall 22B, the other-side lid accommodating wall 22C, and the opposite-side lid accommodating wall 22D are rounded. The one-side lid body accommodating wall 22A forms a side wall portion that rises at a gentle slope, whereas the corner portion 22E connecting the one-side lid body accommodating wall 22B, the other-side lid body accommodating wall 22C and the opposite-side lid body accommodating wall 22D forms a side wall portion that rises steeply. As a modified example, the one-side lid body accommodating wall 22A, the one-side lid body accommodating wall 22B, the other-side lid body accommodating wall 22C, and the other-side lid body accommodating wall 22D may have short sides and long sides that are substantially rectangular in plan view. Also, as a modified example, the shape of the lid body accommodating wall 22 in plan view may be a circle, an ellipse, or the like other than a rectangle (rectangular).

[0017] The lid peripheral portion 23 includes a one-side lid peripheral portion 23A (periphery located away from the hinge portion 15) that is continuous with the one-side lid accommodating section wall 22A, and further includes an other-side lid peripheral portion 23C (periphery located closer to the hinge portion 15) that is continuous with the other-side lid accommodating section wall 22C. The lid peripheral portion 23 also includes a one-side lid peripheral portion 23B (periphery located on the far side in FIG. 1) that is continuous with the one-side lid accommodating section wall 22B, and further includes an opposite-side lid peripheral portion 23D (periphery located on the near side in FIG. 1) that is continuous with the opposite-side lid accommodating section wall 22D. The one-side lid peripheral portion 23A, the one-side lid peripheral portion 23B, the other-side lid peripheral portion 23C, and the other-side lid peripheral portion 23D form one side of a substantially square (rectangular) shape in a plan view. Therefore, the one-side lid peripheral portion 23A and the other-side lid peripheral portion 23C have approximately the same length and face each other. The one-side lid peripheral portion 23B and the other-side lid peripheral portion 23D also have approximately the same length and face each other. Corners 23E (four corners in this case) connecting the one-side lid peripheral portion 23A, the one-side lid peripheral portion 23B, the other-side lid peripheral portion 23C, and the other-side lid peripheral portion 23D are rounded. As a modified example, the one-side lid peripheral portion 23A, the one-side lid peripheral portion 23B, the other-side lid peripheral portion 23C, and the other-side lid peripheral portion 23D may form the short sides and long sides of a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. Also, as a modified example, the shape of the lid side wall portion 23 in a plan view may be a circle, an ellipse, or the like other than a rectangular shape (rectangular shape).

[0018] In this case, the container peripheral portion 13 and the lid peripheral portion 23 have similar shapes, and therefore can overlap each other when the container body 10 and the lid 20 are closed. Specifically, the planar shape of the lid peripheral portion 23 shown in FIG. 1 is a square with a side length of H1N (see FIG. 1). The planar shape of the container peripheral portion 13 shown in FIG. 1 is a square with a side length of H2N (see FIG. 1). The one-side container peripheral portion 13A, the one-side container peripheral portion 13B, the other-side container peripheral portion 13C, and the opposite-side container peripheral portion 13D have similar shapes to the one-side lid peripheral portion 23A, the one-side lid peripheral portion 23B, the other-side lid peripheral portion 23C, and the opposite-side lid peripheral portion 23D, and therefore can overlap each other when the lid is closed. This allows the lid 20 to close the openings 14 and 12F of the container body 10, so that when the lid is closed, contents (such as food) in the container body 10 can be stored without spilling out.

[0019] The strength of the hinge portion 15 is desirably such that the lid 20 can be maintained at a predetermined height (height H3 shown in FIG. 3) above the workbench when the lid 20 and container body 10 are mutually open. Furthermore, the container side wall 12 is positioned above the container periphery 13 so that it is approximately height H4 shown in FIG. 3 so that the container body 10 can accommodate only the required amount of contents. Furthermore, the height of the lid accommodating portion 22 (the height protruding on the opposite side from the container body 10) is set as follows: That is, the height of the lid accommodating portion 22 corresponds to the height H4 of the container periphery 13 minus the height H3.

[0020] 2 has a square shape with a side length of H1G (see FIG. 1). Also, the container peripheral portion 13 shown in FIG. 2 has a square shape with a side length of H2G (see FIG. 1). The square shape of the lid peripheral portion 23 shown in FIG. 2 (square shape with a side length of H1G) is similar to the square shape of the lid peripheral portion 23 shown in FIG. 1 with a side length of H1N. Therefore, when the packaging container 9A on the left side and the packaging container 9B on the right side are arranged side by side, as shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the container body 10 of the packaging container 9B on the right side in FIG. 1 overlaps with the lid 20 of the packaging container 9A arranged on the left side. In this case, a portion of the left-side packaging container 9A (lid body 20) and a portion of the right-side packaging container 9B (container body 10) overlap each other, and the lid body accommodating portion 22 etc. (part of the lid body 20) of the left-side packaging container 9A is accommodated within the container peripheral portion 13 of the right-side packaging container 9B.

[0021] As shown in Figure 5, when the lid body 20 of the left-side packaging container 9A is placed on top of the container body 10 of the right-side packaging container 9B, and the container body 10 of the right-side packaging container 9B is located on the lower side and the lid body 20 of the left-side packaging container lid 9A is located on the upper side, the lid body peripheral portion 23 (one-side lid body peripheral portion 23A, one-side lid body peripheral portion 23B, other-side lid body peripheral portion 23C, and opposite-side lid body peripheral portion 23D) of the lid body 20 of the upper packaging container 9A (left) can be placed on top of the container peripheral portion 13 (one-side container peripheral portion 13A, one-side container peripheral portion 13B, other-side container peripheral portion 13C, and opposite-side container peripheral portion 13D) of the container body 10 of the lower packaging container 9B (right). When the lid peripheral portion 23 of the lid 20 of the upper packaging container 9A (left) is placed so as to overlap the container peripheral portion 13 of the container body 10 of the lower packaging container 9B (right), it becomes possible to effectively utilize the work space of the workplace when arranging the two packaging containers 9A and 9B in the workplace, as shown in Fig. 5. That is, when the length of the container body 10, hinge portion 15, and lid 20 of the packaging container 9A (left) is distance L1, and the length of the container body 10, hinge portion 15, and lid 20 of the packaging container 9B (right) is distance L2, the overlapping distance L3 of distance L1 and distance L2 occurs (the length of the container body 10 of the packaging container 9A (left) overlaps the length of the lid 20 of the packaging container 9B (right)), and therefore the work space of the workplace can be effectively utilized.

[0022] In this way, a lid accommodating portion 22 protruding on the opposite side to the container body 10 is provided within the lid peripheral portion 23 of the packaging container 9, and further, when the container body 10 and the lid 20 have similar shapes with respect to the shapes of the container side wall portion 12, container peripheral portion 13, lid accommodating portion 22, and lid peripheral portion 23, when the lid peripheral portion 23 of the packaging container 9A placed on top is overlapped with the container peripheral portion 13 of another packaging container 9B placed below, a part of the packaging container 9A placed on top is accommodated within the peripheral side wall portion 12 of the container body 10 of the other packaging container 9B placed below.

[0023] According to this embodiment, packaging container 9 comprises container body 10, hinge portion 15, and lid 20, container body 10 comprises container sidewall 12 rising from bottom portion 11 and container rim 13 disposed outside container sidewall 12, and container body 10 can accommodate contents via opening 12F surrounded by container sidewall 12 and opening 14 surrounded by container rim 13. Furthermore, lid 20 closing openings 12F, 14 of container body 10 comprises lid accommodating portion 22 protruding on the opposite side of container body 10 and lid rim 23 disposed outside lid accommodating portion 22, and container rim 13 and lid rim 23 can overlap each other without spilling contents when container body 10 and lid 20 are closed. Furthermore, according to the packaging container 9, a part of the lid 20 of the upper packaging container 9 (in this case, the top plate 21 and the lid accommodating portion 22) can be accommodated within the container peripheral portion 13 of the container body 10 of the lower packaging container 9. As a result, when at least two packaging containers 9 are arranged side by side in a work area, it is possible to effectively utilize the work space in the work area, thereby reducing storage costs.

[0024] Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Note that in this embodiment, the same components as those in the same packaging container 9 as in Fig. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Fig. 6, like Fig. 5, is an explanatory diagram of two packaging containers 9 lined up side by side. That is, when the left-side packaging container 9 and the right-side packaging container 9 are lined up overlapping each other, the lid body 20 of the left-side packaging container 9 is on the bottom side and the container body 10 of the right-side packaging container 9 is on the top side. In this case, the packaging container 9 (right) can be placed on the lower side so that a portion of the container body 10 (i.e., the bottom portion 11 of the container body 10, etc.) of the packaging container 9 (right) placed on the upper side is accommodated in the lid body peripheral portion 23 (one side lid body peripheral portion 23A, one side lid body peripheral portion 23B, other side lid body peripheral portion 23C and opposite side lid body peripheral portion 23D) of the lid body 20 of the packaging container 9 (left) placed on the lower side. As a result, when the container body 10 of the packaging container 9 (right) is placed on top of the lid body 20 of another packaging container 9 (left), the container body 10 of the packaging container 9 (right) and the lid body 20 of the packaging container 9B (left) overlap, as in Figure 5, making it possible to effectively utilize the work space in the workplace. As a result, in the method of storing packaging containers 9 that store contents inside the container body 10, a part of the container body 10 (bottom portion 11 of the container body 10) of another packaging container 9 placed above can be stored in the lid peripheral portion 23 of the lid body 20 of the packaging container 9 placed below, so when working with at least two packaging containers 9 lined up in the workplace, it is possible to effectively utilize the work space in the workplace, thereby reducing storage costs.

[0025] As described above, the packaging container 9 of this embodiment comprises a container body 10, a hinge portion 15, and a lid body 20, and the container body 10 comprises a container peripheral portion 13 arranged on the outside of the container side wall portion 12, and the lid body 20 comprises a lid body accommodating portion 22 that protrudes on the opposite side of the container body 10 so as to connect to the top surface portion 21, and a lid body peripheral portion 23 arranged on the outside of the lid body accommodating portion 22 (lid body 20).Therefore, when the container body 10 and the lid body 20 are closed, the container peripheral portion 13 and the lid body peripheral portion 23 can overlap each other. When stacking another packaging container 9 placed above on the lid peripheral portion 23 of the packaging container 9 placed below, the bottom portion 11 of the container body 10 etc. can be stored within the lid body storage portion 22 of the lid body 20, so when stacking the container body 10 of the packaging container 9 and the lid body 20 of another packaging container 9, the work space in the workplace can be used effectively and storage costs are reduced.

[0026] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified in various ways. For example, the shapes of the container body, hinge, and lid may be changed to other shapes. Furthermore, the packaging containers 9 may be arranged in three or more rows (multiple rows).
