[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-66443 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A typical toothbrush has a head portion with multiple bristle bundles, a neck portion, and a handle portion arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, in a typical toothbrush, the difference between the width of the head portion and the width of the neck portion is small. Therefore, when the toothbrush is placed horizontally in a blister packaging container, if the portion of the dome portion that accommodates the head portion is formed along the head portion and the portion that accommodates the neck portion is formed along the neck portion, the difference in height between the portion that accommodates the head portion and the portion that accommodates the neck portion becomes small. In this case, it is difficult to improve the moldability of the portion that accommodates the head portion and the portion that accommodates the neck portion. Therefore, because it is difficult to prevent the toothbrush from rotating due to the portion of the dome portion that accommodates the head portion, there is a risk of the toothbrush rotating within the blister packaging container during transportation of the blister packaging container containing the toothbrush.

[0014] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a top view showing the tip side portion of the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. Fig. 4 is a side view showing the tip side portion of the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment is a container that accommodates a toothbrush 20 inside in a horizontal position.

[0015] Toothbrush 20 has head portion 21 provided at the tip side, neck portion 23 provided at the rear end side of head portion 21, and handle portion 25 provided at the rear end side of neck portion 23. In other words, toothbrush 20 has head portion 21, neck portion 23, and handle portion 25 provided in this order from the tip side to the rear end side. Note that the configuration of toothbrush 20 described below is an example and does not limit the toothbrush 20 accommodated in blister packaging container 30 according to this embodiment.

[0016] The head portion 21 is a portion of the toothbrush 20 on the tip side. As shown in FIG. 2, the longitudinal dimension of the head portion 21 is greater than the dimension in the first direction D1. When viewed in the second direction D2, the head portion 21 has a shape that widens outward in the width direction from the tip toward the neck portion 23, then extends with the same width, then narrows inward in the width direction, and reaches the boundary with the neck portion 23. The shape, length, width, thickness, etc. of the head portion 21 are not particularly limited. The head portion 21 in this embodiment is a thin head with a thickness set in the range of 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm, for example. The head portion 21 has a plate-like portion 21a, a bristle-implanted surface 21b, a flat portion 21c, and a tapered portion 21e.

[0017] The plate-shaped portion 21a is a portion of the head portion 21 that widens outward in the width direction from the tip toward the neck portion 23 and then extends with the same width. The plate-shaped portion 21a is a plate whose surface faces the second direction D2.

[0018] The bristle implantation surface 21b is the outer surface of the plate-shaped portion 21a facing the left side (+D2 side). A plurality of bristle bundles 22 extending in the second direction D2 are implanted on the bristle implantation surface 21b. As shown in FIG. 3, each bristle bundle 22 extends leftward from the plate-shaped portion 21a. That is, each of the plurality of bristle bundles 22 extends leftward from the head portion 21, i.e., to one side in the second direction D2. In this embodiment, "the toothbrush 20 is stored in a horizontal position" means that the bristle implantation surface 21b faces the second direction D2 and each bristle bundle 22 extends in the second direction D2. Note that the bristle implantation surface 21b may face rightward (-D2 side), in which case each bristle bundle 22 extends rightward from the head portion 21.

[0019] 2, the flat portion 21c is the front side (+D1 side) of the plate-like portion 21a, that is, the surface facing one side in the first direction D1. The flat portion 21c has a flat shape.

[0020] The reduced diameter portion 21e is a portion of the head portion 21 that narrows inward in the width direction from the tip side to the rear end side. The reduced diameter portion 21e is a portion on the rear end side of the head portion 21. In the longitudinal direction, the reduced diameter portion 21e is located closer to the rear end than the plate-shaped portion 21a. The reduced diameter portion 21e is connected to the plate-shaped portion 21a in the longitudinal direction. The surface of the reduced diameter portion 21e facing the front side (+D1 side) is connected to the flat portion 21c in the longitudinal direction. The rear end of the reduced diameter portion 21e is connected to the neck portion 23 in the longitudinal direction. When viewed from the second direction D2, the surface of the reduced diameter portion 21e facing the front side is located closer to the rear side (-D1 side) as it approaches the rear end side.

[0021] The neck portion 23 integrally connects the head portion 21 and the handle portion 25. The tip of the neck portion 23 connects to the reduced diameter portion 21e of the head portion 21. The rear end of the neck portion 23 connects to the handle portion 25. When viewed from the second direction D2, the neck portion 23 expands outward in the width direction from the tip side to the rear end side. In this embodiment, the width dimension of the part where the reduced diameter portion 21e and the neck portion 23 connect is the smallest width dimension of the toothbrush 20.

[0022] Handle portion 25 extends rearward from neck portion 23. When viewed in second direction D2, handle portion 25 extends rearward from the boundary with neck portion 23 at a substantially constant width, and then narrows toward the rear. The portion of handle portion 25 extending rearward at a constant width from the boundary with neck portion 23 is the widest grip portion of toothbrush 20.

[0023] 1, the blister packaging container 30 includes a container body 31 and a plate body 60. When viewed from the first direction, the container body 31 and the plate body 60 each have a substantially rectangular shape with the long sides extending in the longitudinal direction.

The second flat portion 42a is disposed at a distance from the handle portion 25 in the first direction D1. In this embodiment, the dimension L4 of the fourth storage portion 42 in the first direction D1 and the dimension L1 of the first storage portion 34 in the first direction D1 are the same. As a result, the position of the second flat portion 42a is the same as the position of the first flat portion 34a in the first direction D1. When viewed from the second direction D2, the second flat portion 42a extends linearly in the longitudinal direction.

[0040] The fifth housing portion 44 houses the rear end of the handle portion 25. As shown in FIG. 1 , the fifth housing portion 44 is disposed closer to the rear end than the fourth housing portion 42. The fifth housing portion 44 extends rearward from the fourth housing portion 42. The dimension of the fifth housing portion 44 in the first direction D1 is smaller than the dimension of the fourth housing portion 42 in the first direction D1. This allows the fifth housing portion 44 to be disposed closer to the rear end of the handle portion 25 in the first direction D1. The fifth housing portion 44 may be in contact with the rear end of the handle portion 25 in the first direction D1. The dimension of the fifth housing portion 44 in the second direction D2 is smaller than the dimension of the fourth housing portion 42 in the second direction D2. This allows the fifth housing portion 44 to be disposed closer to the rear end of the handle portion 25 in the second direction D2. The fifth housing portion 44 may be in contact with the rear end of the handle portion 25 in the second direction D2. As a result, the distance between the fifth housing portion 44 and the rear end of the handle portion 25 can be reduced, and movement of the rear end portion of the handle portion 25 in the first direction can be suppressed.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first portion 46 is disposed closer to the rear end than the second accommodating portion 36. The first portion 46 extends from the second accommodating portion 36 toward the rear end. More specifically, the first portion 46 extends from the left side (+D2 side) of the second accommodating portion 36 toward the rear end. The first portion 46 is disposed to the left of the third accommodating portion 38. The first portion 46 is connected to the third accommodating portion 38. As shown in FIG. 2, the dimension of the first portion 46 in the first direction D1 linearly decreases toward the rear end.

[0042] 1, the flange portion 50 has a plate shape that extends in a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1. The flange portion 50 is connected to the dome portion 32. The flange portion 50 has a first flange portion 51 and a second flange portion 52.

[0043] The first flange portion 51 is a plate-like portion that protrudes from the tip of the first housing portion 34 and from the end of the back side (-D1 side) of the first housing portion 34 toward the tip. The plate surface of the first flange portion 51 faces the first direction D1. When viewed from the first direction D1, the first flange portion 51 has a substantially rectangular shape with its long sides extending in the longitudinal direction. The first flange portion 51 is provided with a third notch 51a and a fourth notch 51b.

[0044] The third notch 51a is a notch that penetrates the first flange 51 in the first direction D1. The third notch 51a opens to the left edge (+D2 side) of the first flange 51. The third notch 51a extends from the left edge of the first flange 51 to the right side (-D2 side). The fourth notch 51b is a notch that extends from the right edge of the third notch 51a toward the tip end. The fourth notch 51b penetrates the first flange 51 in the first direction D1. The tip end of the fourth notch 51b is arc-shaped with its center located toward the rear end. The center of this arc passes through the center of gravity of the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 and is located on a straight line extending in the longitudinal direction.

[0045] The second flange portion 52 is a plate-like portion that protrudes rearward from the rear end of the fourth housing portion 42 and from the end portion on the back side (-D1 side) of the fourth housing portion 42. The plate surface of the second flange portion 52 faces the first direction D1. The second flange portion 52 surrounds the fifth housing portion 44. The second flange portion 52 is connected to the end portion on the back side of the fifth housing portion.

[0046] As described above, the plate 60 has a generally rectangular shape with its long sides extending in the longitudinal direction. The plate 60 is fixed to the end of the rear side (-D1 side) of the container body 31. As shown in FIG. 2, the plate 60 covers the opening 32a of the dome portion 32 from the rear side. The plate 60 is fixed to the container body 31 by welding, adhesive, or the like. The material constituting the plate 60 is not particularly limited, but for example, various resin sheets and sheets with paper as the sheet base material can be used. When the sheet base material is paper, the plate 60 can be made of cardboard made only of paper, synthetic paper with a sheet base coated with various resins, or synthetic paper with a sheet base laminated with a resin sheet, a vapor-deposited sheet, or the like. As shown in FIG. 1, the plate 60 has a notch 60a. The notch 60a is located closer to the tip than the first storage section 34. The cutout portion 60a has a first cutout portion 60c and a second cutout portion 60d.

[0047] The first notch 60c is a notch that penetrates the plate body 60 in the first direction D1. The first notch 60c opens to the left edge (+D2 side) of the plate body 60. The first notch 60c extends from the left edge of the plate body 60 to the right side (-D2 side). When viewed from the first direction D1, the first notch 60c is located inside the third notch 51a. The second notch 60d is a notch that extends from the right edge of the first notch 60c toward the tip end. The second notch 60d penetrates the plate body 60 in the first direction D1. The second notch 60d is located closer to the rear end than the fourth notch 51b. The tip end of the second notch 60d is an arc portion whose center is located toward the rear end. The center of the arc portion passes through the center of gravity of the blister package 30 containing the toothbrush 20 and is located on a straight line extending in the longitudinal direction.

[0048] The blister packaging container 30 is displayed in a storefront in a suspended state with the head portion 21 of the toothbrush 20 contained in the blister packaging container 30 facing vertically upward, for example, by inserting an axial member such as a metal fitting extending in the first direction D1 into the second notch portion 60d from the back side (-D1 side) and engaging with the second notch portion 60d.

[0049] Furthermore, by moving the blister packaging container 30 relative to the shaft member extending in the first direction D1 from the right side (-D2 side) to the left side (+D2 side), the shaft member can be introduced from the first notch 60c to the second notch 60d and engaged with the second notch 60d. As described above, the center of the arc part of the second notch 60d passes through the center of gravity of the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 and is positioned on a straight line extending in the longitudinal direction, so that the toothbrush 20 can be displayed with the blister packaging container 30 hanging in a vertical position.

[0050] FIG. 5 is a first side view showing the loading step P01 of the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. FIG. 6 is a second side view showing the loading step P01 of the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. FIG. 7 is a side view showing the transport step P03 of the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment. FIG. 8 is a side view showing the loading step of a blister packaging container of a comparative example. The manufacturing process of the blister packaging container 30 of this embodiment includes a loading step P01 of placing toothbrushes 20 in the container body 31, a fixing step P02 of fixing the plate body 60 to the container body 31, and a transport step P03 of transporting the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrushes 20. The manufacturing process of the blister packaging container 30 may include other steps, such as a step of forming the container body 31 from a resin sheet by vacuum molding. In the following description, the term "workers, etc." includes workers performing the respective steps and assembly equipment, etc. The work in each process may be performed by a worker alone, by an assembly device alone, or by a worker and an assembly device.

[0051] In the loading step P01, the worker places the toothbrush 20 in the container body 31. As shown in FIG. 5 , in the loading step P01 of this embodiment, the worker drops the toothbrush 20, which is oriented horizontally, from the upper vertical side into the container body 31 with the opening 32a open vertically upward, thereby placing the toothbrush 20 in the dome portion 32 of the container body 31 through the opening 32a. Therefore, in the loading step P01, the front side (+D1 side) and one side in the first direction D1 are vertically lower sides, and the back side (-D1 side) and the other side in the first direction D1 are vertically upper sides. In the following description, the "vertically lower side" will be simply referred to as the "lower side," and the "vertically upper side" will be simply referred to as the "upper side."

[0052] In the loading step P01, the toothbrush 20 that has fallen into the dome portion 32 collides with a portion of the dome portion 32 that faces the toothbrush 20 in the first direction D1. As described above, in this embodiment, the first flat portion 34a is spaced apart from the head portion 21 in the first direction D1. Furthermore, the first inclined portion 36a is positioned toward the other side of the first direction D1, i.e., the upper side, toward the rear end. In other words, the first inclined portion 36a is positioned lower toward the front end. Furthermore, the first parallel portion 36c extends from the first inclined portion 36a toward the rear end. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the head portion 21 of the toothbrush 20 that has fallen into the dome portion 32 collides with the first parallel portion 36c, but is less likely to collide with either the first flat portion 34a or the first inclined portion 36a. Therefore, when head portion 21 collides with first parallel portion 36c, the portion of head portion 21 that is further distal than first parallel portion 36c can elastically deform downward. This reduces the reaction force that head portion 21 receives from dome portion 32, thereby preventing toothbrush 20 from rotating within container body 31 and preventing toothbrush 20 from jumping out of container body 31 when loading toothbrush 20 into container body 31. When the worker places toothbrush 20 in container body 31 in a horizontal position, loading step P01 is completed.

[0053] In the fixing step P02, the worker fixes the plate body 60 to the container body 31. As shown in FIG. 7, the worker fixes the plate body 60 to the surface of the container body 31 facing the rear side (-D1 side). As described above, the plate body 60 is fixed to the container body 31 by welding, adhesive, or the like. When the plate body 60 is fixed to the container body 31, the plate body 60 blocks the opening 32a of the dome portion 32 from the rear side. When the worker fixes the plate body 60 to the container body 31, the fixing step P02 is completed.

[0054] In the conveying step P03, a worker or the like conveys the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrushes 20. In the conveying step P03, the worker or the like conveys the blister packaging container 30, for example, toward a packaging container (not shown) in which a plurality of blister packaging containers 30 containing toothbrushes 20 are packed. In the conveying step P03, the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrushes 20 is conveyed by a belt conveyor 90 having a belt 91 that moves in a substantially horizontal direction. The blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrushes 20 is placed on the belt 91. In the conveying step P03, the front side (+D1 side) and one side in the first direction D1 are the lower side, and the back side (-D1 side) and the other side in the first direction D1 are the upper side. In the present embodiment, the first flat portion 34a and the second flat portion 42a of the blister packaging container 30 each come into contact with the belt 91. As a result, the blister packing container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 stands upright on the belt 91. When the worker or the like transports the blister packing container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 to a packaging container (not shown), the transporting step P03 is completed.

[0055] According to this embodiment, the blister packaging container 30 includes a resin container body 31 having a dome-shaped head portion 21 that bulges outward from the front side (+D1 side), i.e., one side in the first direction D1, and is provided with a plurality of bristle bundles 22, a dome portion 32 that accommodates the toothbrush 20, and a plate body 60 that closes the opening 32a of the dome portion 32. Each of the plurality of bristle bundles 22 extends from the head portion 21 to the left side (+D2 side), i.e., one side in the second direction D2, and the dome portion 32 has a first accommodation portion 34 that accommodates a tip-side portion of the head portion 21 and a second accommodation portion 36 that extends from the first accommodation portion 34 to the rear end side. The first accommodation portion 34 is spaced apart from the head portion 21 in the first direction D1 and extends linearly in the longitudinal direction as viewed in the second direction D2. The second housing portion 36 has a first flat portion 34a that faces the head portion 21 in the first direction D1 and has a first inclined portion 36a that faces the back side (-D1 side) toward the rear end, i.e., the other side in the first direction D1, and a first parallel portion 36c that extends from the first inclined portion 36a toward the rear end and is parallel to the flat portion 21c, i.e., the surface facing the front side of the head portion 21, when viewed from the second direction D2. Therefore, since the first flat portion 34a is disposed at an interval from the head portion 21 in the first direction D1, which is the direction in which the dome bulges out, it is easy to increase the height of the first housing portion 34, i.e., the dimension L1 of the first housing portion 34 in the first direction D1. Furthermore, because the first flat portion 34a and the first parallel portion 36c are connected via the first inclined portion 36a, which is located closer to the rear end, the first flat portion 34a can be positioned farther away from the first parallel portion 36c in the first direction D1. This facilitates the moldability of the first flat portion 34a and the first parallel portion 36c in this embodiment, allowing the first parallel portion 36c to be accurately positioned in the first direction D1. Therefore, the first parallel portion 36c can be positioned accurately close to the flat portion 21c of the head 21. As a result, when vibrations are applied to the toothbrush 20 during transport of the blister packing container 30 containing the toothbrush 20, causing the toothbrush 20 to rotate within the blister packing container 30 around an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, the first parallel portion 36c can come into contact with the flat portion 21c.Therefore, when the blister packing container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 is transported, the first parallel portion 36c can prevent the toothbrush 20 from rotating inside the blister packing container 30.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the first parallel portion 36c is parallel to the flat portion 21c when viewed from the second direction D2, so that the first parallel portion 36c and the flat portion 21c can come into surface contact when the toothbrush 20 tries to rotate around an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction inside the blister packaging container 30. Therefore, during distribution of the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20, the first parallel portion 36c can more effectively prevent the toothbrush 20 from rotating inside the blister packaging container 30.

[0057] In this embodiment, as described above, the first flat portion 34a is spaced apart from the head portion 21 in the first direction D1, the first inclined portion 36a is positioned closer to the front (+D1 side) as it approaches the tip, and the first parallel portion 36c extends from the first inclined portion 36a toward the rear end. Therefore, as described above, when the head portion 21 collides with the first parallel portion 36c in the loading step P01, the portion of the head portion 21 closer to the tip than the first parallel portion 36c can elastically deform downward. This reduces the reaction force that the head portion 21 receives from the dome portion 32, thereby preventing the toothbrush 20 from rotating within the container body 31 and from jumping out of the container body 31 in the loading step P01. This prevents an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister pack container 30.

[0058] According to this embodiment, when viewed from the second direction D2, the first inclined portion 36a has an arc shape that protrudes in a direction inclined from the rear side (-D1 side), i.e., the other side in the first direction D1, toward the tip. Therefore, when the toothbrush 20 collides with the dome portion 32 in the loading step P01, a part of the head portion 21 is likely to come into contact with the rear end portion of the first inclined portion 36a. This makes it possible to suitably distribute the reaction force that the head portion 21 receives from the dome portion 32. Therefore, in the loading step P01, the toothbrush 20 can be more suitably prevented from rotating within the container body 31 and from jumping out of the container body 31. This can more suitably prevent an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packing container 30.

[0059] According to this embodiment, head unit 21 is flat and faces the front side (+D1 side), i.e., one side in first direction D1, and has first parallel portion 36c and flat portion 21c facing first direction D1. This makes it easy to increase the contact area between first parallel portion 36c and flat portion 21c, which is the surface of head unit 21 facing the front side. As a result, when blister packing container 30 containing toothbrush 20 is transported, if toothbrush 20 tries to rotate around an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis within blister packing container 30, toothbrush 20 can be more effectively prevented from rotating by first parallel portion 36c.

[0060] According to this embodiment, the first ratio R1, which is the ratio of the dimension L1 of the first accommodating portion 34 in the first direction D1 to the dimension Lh of the head portion 21 in the first direction D1, is 150% or more and 210% or less. If the first ratio R1 is greater than 210%, the height of the first housing section 34, i.e., the dimension L1 of the first housing section 34 in the first direction D1, becomes too large. Therefore, when the toothbrush 20 is dropped into the dome section 32 in the loading step P01, there is a risk that the head section 21 may enter the inside of the first housing section 34, as shown in FIG. 8. This may make it impossible to stably accommodate the toothbrush 20 in the container body 31. This may increase the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packaging container 30. Furthermore, if the first ratio R1 is smaller than 150%, the radius of curvature of the first inclined portion 36a becomes too small, and therefore, in the loading step P01, when the toothbrush 20 collides with the dome portion 32, the collision area between the head portion 21 and the first inclined portion 36a may become too large. As a result, in the loading step P01, the reaction force that the head portion 21 receives from the dome portion 32 may become too large, and the toothbrush 20 may rotate within the container body 31 or jump out of the container body 31. In contrast, in the present embodiment, as described above, the first ratio R1 is 210% or less, which preferably prevents the head portion 21 from entering the first storage portion 34 in the loading step P01. This allows the toothbrush 20 to be stably stored in the container body 31. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the first ratio R1 is 150% or more, which prevents the radius of curvature of the first inclined portion 36a from becoming too small. This prevents the reaction force that the head portion 21 receives from the dome portion 32 in the loading step P01 from becoming too large, which preferably prevents the toothbrush 20 from rotating within the container body 31 and from jumping out of the container body 31. Therefore, these factors more preferably prevent an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packaging container 30.

[0061] According to this embodiment, the dome portion 32 has a third storage portion 38 that extends rearward from the second storage portion 36 and stores the rear portion of the head portion 21 and the front portion of the neck portion 23. The third storage portion 38 has a second inclined portion 38a that faces the head portion 21 in the first direction D1 and is located toward the rear side (-D1 side), i.e., the other side of the first direction D1, as it approaches the rear end, and a second parallel portion 38c that extends rearward from the second inclined portion 38a and is parallel to the front side of the neck portion 23, i.e., the surface facing one side of the first direction D1, as viewed from the second direction D2. Therefore, in the loading step P01, it is possible to prevent the head portion 21 from colliding with the second inclined portion 38a. Therefore, when head portion 21 collides with first parallel portion 36c and neck portion 23 collides with second parallel portion 38c in loading step P01, not only the portion of head portion 21 closer to the tip than first parallel portion 36c, but also the portion of head portion 21 between first parallel portion 36c and second parallel portion 38c can elastically deform downward as described above. This reduces the reaction force that toothbrush 20 receives from dome portion 32, and more effectively prevents toothbrush 20 from rotating within container body 31 and from jumping out of container body 31 in loading step P01. This more effectively prevents an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture blister pack container 30.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the second parallel portion 38c is parallel to the surface of the neck portion 23 facing the front side when viewed from the second direction D2, which increases the contact area between the second parallel portion 38c and the surface of the neck portion 23 facing the front side when the toothbrush 20 rotates around an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction inside the blister packaging container 30. Therefore, during distribution of the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20, the second parallel portion 38c can more effectively prevent the toothbrush 20 from rotating inside the blister packaging container 30.

[0063] According to this embodiment, when viewed from the second direction D2, the second inclined portion 38a has an arc shape that protrudes in a direction inclined from the rear side (-D1 side), i.e., the other side of the first direction D1, toward the tip. Therefore, when the toothbrush 20 collides with the dome portion 32 in the loading step P01, the rear end portion of the head portion 21 is likely to come into contact with the rear end portion of the second inclined portion 38a. This makes it possible to suitably distribute the reaction force that the toothbrush 20 receives from the dome portion 32. Therefore, in the loading step P01, the toothbrush 20 can be more suitably prevented from rotating within the container body 31 and from jumping out of the container body 31. This can more suitably prevent an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packing container 30.

[0064] According to this embodiment, the first storage section 34 is located to the right (-D2 side) of the head section 21, i.e., on the other side in the second direction D2, and has a first side wall 34c facing the head section 21 in the second direction D2, while the second storage section 36 is located to the right of the head section 21 and has a second side wall 36e facing the head section 21 in the second direction D2, the second side wall 36e being connected to the first side wall 34c in the longitudinal direction and being located to the left (+D2 side) of the first side wall 34c, i.e., on one side in the second direction D2. Thus, the second side wall 36e can be disposed closer to the head section 21 in the second direction D2. Therefore, when the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 is transported, if the toothbrush 20 tries to rotate around an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction inside the blister packaging container 30, the second side wall 36e can be brought into contact with the surface facing right of the head 21. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent the toothbrush 20 from rotating inside the blister packaging container 30.

[0065] Furthermore, compared to a configuration in which the position of the first side wall 34c in the second direction D2 is the same as the position of the second side wall 36e, in this embodiment, the gap between the first side wall 34c and the tip end portion of the head portion 21 in the second direction D2 can be made wider. This makes it possible to prevent the tip end portion of the head portion 21 from coming into contact with the first side wall 34c in the loading step P01. This makes it possible to more stably accommodate the toothbrush 20 inside the container body 31 in the loading step P01, thereby more effectively preventing an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packing container 30.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the first side wall 34c and the second side wall 36e each extend linearly in the longitudinal direction when viewed from the first direction D1. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which at least one of the first side wall 34c and the second side wall 36e has a protruding portion protruding to the left (+D2 side) and the protruding portion is brought into contact with or close to the head portion 21, thereby preventing the toothbrush 20 from rotating within the blister packaging container 30, the shapes of the first side wall 34c and the second side wall 36e can be simplified. This improves the moldability of the first side wall 34c and the second side wall 36e. This more effectively prevents an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packaging container 30.

[0067] According to this embodiment, the dome portion 32 has a fourth housing portion 42 that houses the rear end portion of the handle portion 25. The fourth housing portion 42 is spaced apart from the handle portion 25 in the first direction D1 and has a second flat portion 42a that extends linearly in the longitudinal direction as viewed in the second direction D2. In the first direction D1, the position of the second flat portion 42a is the same as the position of the first flat portion 34a. This prevents the handle portion 25 from colliding with the second flat portion 42a during the loading step P01. This reduces the reaction force that the handle portion 25 receives from the dome portion 32 during the loading step P01. This effectively prevents the toothbrush 20 from rotating within the container body 31 and from jumping out of the container body 31 during the loading step P01. This effectively prevents an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister pack container 30.

[0068] In the present embodiment, as described above, the first flat portion 34a and the second flat portion 42a are each a plane extending linearly in the longitudinal direction as viewed in the second direction D2, and the position of the second flat portion 42a is the same as the position of the first flat portion 34a in the first direction D1. Therefore, in the conveying step P03, the first flat portion 34a located at the leading end of the blister packaging container 30 and the second flat portion 42a located at the trailing end of the blister packaging container 30 are placed on the belt 91 with their respective surfaces facing the front side (+D1 side) downward, thereby improving the self-standing ability of the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20. This prevents the blister packaging container 30 from tipping over when conveying the blister packaging container 30 containing the toothbrush 20 by the belt conveyor 90, thereby preventing an increase in the number of steps in the conveying step P03. This more suitably prevents an increase in the number of steps required to manufacture the blister packaging container 30.

[0069] The area of ​​the second flat portion 42a is preferably the same as or larger than the area of ​​the first flat portion 34a, which can more suitably improve the self-standing ability of the blister packing container 30 containing the toothbrush 20.

[0070] While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these examples. As long as rotation of the toothbrush inside the blister pack can be prevented, those skilled in the art can achieve the above-described effects based on this guideline. Furthermore, the shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above examples are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
