DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] (Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a carry carton 1 according to the present disclosure. FIG. 1 shows a state in which an article has been removed in a form capable of storing an article as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 described later. FIG. 2 is a development view of a blank plate B before assembling the carry carton 1. Incidentally, each of the following figures, including FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, is a schematic diagram, and the size and shape of each part are appropriately exaggerated or omitted to facilitate understanding. In addition, in the following description, specific numerical values, shapes, materials, etc. are shown for explanation, but these can be changed as appropriate. In this specification, the words plate, sheet, etc. are used, but these are generally used in the order of thickness, plate, sheet, etc., and are used in this specification in accordance with this order. However, such distinction in usage has no technical meaning, and these words can be replaced as appropriate. In addition, in the following description, words indicating directions such as up, down, left, and right are used as appropriate, but these words indicate the directions when the carry carton 1 containing the product is placed on a horizontal surface with the bottom surface 10.

[0014] The carry carton 1 of this embodiment includes a bottom surface 10, side walls 20, inclined walls 30, a handle portion 40, and a storage portion 50, and is constructed by folding and assembling one blank plate B. Furthermore, the carry carton 1 is unstable when no article is stored therein, and can be folded. Therefore, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, a form in which an article can be stored and the handle portion 40 can be grasped will be described as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 described later.

[0015] For example, a paperboard can be used as the blank plate B. Specifically, recycled paper, double-sided card paper, etc. can be exemplified as the paperboard used as the blank plate B. Note that the blank plate B is not limited to paper, and may be a resin plate, a resin sheet, etc.

[0016] The bottom surface 10 is a substantially rectangular flat surface, and has bottom surfaces 11 and 12 that are symmetrical with respect to a fold line L9. This fold line L9 is not folded when the carry carton 1 contains products, and the bottom surfaces 11 and 12 are substantially flush with each other. When the carry carton 1 does not contain products, it can be folded along the fold line L9 so that the bottom surfaces 11 and 12 overlap each other and are folded into a substantially flat plate shape as a whole.

[0017] The side wall 20 is connected to the bottom surface 10 via fold lines L8 and L10, and has a side wall 21 and a side wall 22. The side wall 21 is connected to the bottom surface 11 via fold line L8, and the side wall 22 is connected to the bottom surface 12 via fold line L10. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the side wall 20 is approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface 10.

[0018] The inclined wall 30 is provided so as to be connected to the side wall 20 via fold lines L7 and L11, and has an inclined wall 31 and an inclined wall 32. The inclined wall 31 is connected to the side wall 21 via fold line L7, and the inclined wall 32 is connected to the side wall 22 via fold line L11. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the inclined wall 30 is disposed so as to be inclined with respect to the side wall 20 and the handle portion 40. The inclined wall 30 has a plurality of openings for storage portions 50, which will be described later.

[0019] The handle portion 40 is constructed by stacking three layers of blank plates. That is, a handle portion (first handle portion) 41, a handle portion (second handle portion) 42, and a handle portion (third handle portion) 43 shown in the development view (FIG. 2) are arranged one on top of the other.

[0020] The handle portion 41 is connected to the inclined wall 31 via a folding line L3. A handle hole 43a is opened at the top of the handle portion 41. A protective piece 45 is connected to the upper end of the handle hole 43a via a folding line L2. In this embodiment, two folding lines L2 are arranged in parallel so that the handle portion 40 can be folded along the handle portion 40, which is composed of three overlapping blank plates. The protective piece 45 is folded back at the handle hole 46, penetrates the handle hole 46, and covers a part of the end face (upper end face) of the handle hole 46. In each figure, the protective piece 45 is shown in an ideal form in which it is folded back 180 degrees and arranged along the handle portion 40 (parallel to the handle portion 40). However, when the protective piece 45 is not bonded to the handle portion 40 (the handle portion 42), the stiffness (rigidity) of the blank plate B may cause the protective piece 45 to be inclined with respect to the handle portion 40. By providing the protective piece 45, it is possible to reduce the burden on the fingers when the fingers are inserted into the handle hole 43a to grip a heavy item stored in the storage section 50 described below.

[0021] The handle portion 42 is provided so as to be connected to the inclined wall 32 via a folding line L15. At the upper portion of the handle portion 42, a handle hole 42a is opened.

[0022] The handle portion 43 is connected to the handle portion 41 via the fold line L1. This allows the three-layer structure of the handle portion 40 to be realized by simply assembling one blank plate B. Since the fold line L1 is folded back 180 degrees, a perforation is provided to facilitate folding. A handle hole 43a is opened at the top of the handle portion 43. The handle portion 43 is sandwiched between the handle portion 41 and the handle portion 42, and is joined to the handle portion 41 and the handle portion 42 with an adhesive or double-sided tape. The handle hole 41a, the handle hole 42a, and the handle hole 43a overlap to form a handle hole 46.

[0023] As described above, the handle portion 40 is composed of three layers, namely, the handle portion 41, the handle portion 42, and the handle portion 43, which are formed by folding the blank plate B at the folding line. The handle portion 41 and the handle portion 42 are arranged facing each other, and the handle portion 43 is connected to the handle portion 41. Furthermore, the handle hole 41a, the handle hole 42a, and the handle hole 43a overlap to form the handle hole 46. This configuration makes it possible to increase the strength of the blank plate B compared to the conventional case without making it thicker than necessary. Therefore, even if the weight of the article stored in the storage section 50 is relatively heavy, there is no risk of breakage and it can be used safely. The load of the article is evenly distributed between the handle portion 41 and the handle portion 42, so that the article can be held, and both the handle portion 41 and the handle portion 42 can be reinforced by the handle portion 43.

[0024] The storage sections 50 are provided as openings in the inclined wall 30. In this embodiment, two storage sections 50 are provided on each side of the handle portion 40. The inclined wall 31 is provided with a storage section 51 and a storage section 53, and the inclined wall 32 is provided with a storage section 52 and a storage section 54.

[0025] The storage section 50 is provided with support pieces 60 (61-66) that protrude toward the inside of the storage section 50. The support pieces 60 are used by being bent toward the inside, and come into contact with the article stored in the storage section 50 due to the stiffness (rigidity) of the blank plate B. Therefore, the position of the article stored in the storage section 50 can be regulated.

[0026] The storage section 51 is provided with a support piece 61 that is bent at a fold line L4 and a support piece 62 that is bent at a fold line L5. When the support pieces 61 and 62 are bent approximately 90 degrees relative to the inclined wall 31, the storage section 51 becomes a substantially rectangular opening, and can store rectangular parallelepiped-shaped items in addition to cylindrical items.

[0027] The storage section 52 is provided with a support piece 64 that is bent at a folding line L12 and a support piece 65 that is bent at a folding line L13. The storage section 52 has a similar shape to the storage section 51, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0028] The storage section 53 is provided with a support piece 63 that is bent at a folding line L6. When the support piece 63 is bent approximately 90 degrees relative to the inclined wall 31, the storage section 53 becomes an opening suitable for storing a cylindrical article because a portion of the inclined wall 31 is formed in an arc shape.

[0029] The storage portion 54 is provided with a support piece 66 that is bent at a folding line L14. The storage portion 54 has a similar shape to the storage portion 53, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0030] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the carry carton 1 in a state where four articles G350 are stored in the storage section 50. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the carry carton 1 in a state where four articles G500 are stored in the storage section 50. Here, the article G350 corresponds to a beverage can having a capacity of 350 ml, and the article G500 corresponds to a beverage can having a capacity of 500 ml. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the carry carton 1 of this embodiment corresponds to both the article G350 and the article G500, which have different capacities. In addition, although not shown, the carry carton 1 of this embodiment can also store, for example, two articles G350 and two articles G500. Furthermore, the carry carton 1 of this embodiment can also store rectangular parallelepiped-shaped articles in the storage section 51 and the storage section 52. Therefore, for example, storage section 51 or storage section 52 can be used to store paper boxes containing prizes as rectangular parallelepiped-shaped objects, and the other storage section 50 can be used to store beverage cans such as beer for sales promotion.

[0031] Furthermore, the carry carton 1 of this embodiment is not only easy to carry using the handle 40, but also has the excellent feature that the handle 40 does not get in the way when displayed in a store. Fig. 5 is a side view showing the carry carton 1 in the state shown in Fig. 3 with four articles G350 stored in the storage section 50. Fig. 6 is a side view showing the carry carton 1 in the state shown in Fig. 5 with the handle 40 stored in the storage position.

[0032] In the state shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the handle 40 protrudes above the article G350, so that the purchaser can easily carry the article G350 together with the carry carton 1 by grasping the handle 40. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, the handle 40 can be stored below the upper end of the article G350 by pushing it downward from the position shown in Figs. 3 and 5. This makes it possible to avoid a situation in which the protrusion of the handle 40 gets in the way and the carry cartons 1 cannot be stacked vertically for display. Therefore, the carry cartons 1 can be easily stacked vertically when the article G350 is stored therein. Although Figs. 5 and 6 show an example in which the article G350 is stored therein, the same applies when the article G500 is stored therein.

[0033] As described above, the carry carton 1 of this embodiment is configured with three layers of blank plates B overlapping at the handle portion 40, and therefore the strength can be increased compared to the conventional one without making the blank plate B thicker than necessary. Therefore, the carry carton 1 can safely store heavier products.

[0034] (Variations) The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible, and these are also within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0035] (1) In the embodiment, an example has been described in which four storage sections 50 are provided. However, the number of storage sections is not limited to this, and may be, for example, two, or six or more.

[0036] (2) In the embodiment, an example was described in which the storage sections 51 and 52 are shaped to be capable of storing cylindrical objects as well as rectangular parallelepiped objects, and the storage sections 53 and 54 are shaped to be suitable for storing cylindrical objects. However, this is not limiting, and for example, all the storage sections may be shaped to be suitable for storing cylindrical objects, or all the storage sections may be shaped to be capable of storing cylindrical objects as well as rectangular parallelepiped objects, and the specific shapes and combinations of the storage sections can be changed as appropriate.

[0037] The embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination, but detailed description thereof will be omitted. The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
