Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a blister key holder that can be used to store various goods such as acrylic stands, can badges, figures, and cards with images (photos) printed on them and can be carried around as a key holder. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, merchandise featuring idols, actors, and characters from anime, games, and the like has been manufactured and sold for a variety of purposes. Examples of such merchandise include acrylic stands and figures for display in a room, metal badges for attaching to clothing or bags as a fashion accessory, and cards for carrying in card cases. While each type of merchandise has its general uses, some fans of idols, actors, and characters are enthusiastic enough to carry these merchandise with them at all times and enjoy them whenever they like, carrying acrylic stands, figures, and other merchandise in their bags. However, carrying these merchandise in a bag or the like can cause them to come into contact with other items or be crushed by external forces, resulting in scratches or damage. Furthermore, merchandise such as metal badges that are attached to clothing or bags can also be susceptible to accidental soiling or damage.

[0003] Meanwhile, when various products such as cosmetics, daily necessities, stationery, medical equipment, and food are displayed and sold in stores, blister packs are used, which consist of a container body (blister) with a bulging portion (concave body) and a flat flange for containing the contents (products), and a protective sheet (backing) that covers the opening of the container body and is adhered to the flange. Proposals have been made for blister packs that are designed to prevent the blister and backing from easily separating during transportation or handling in stores (see, for example, Patent Document 1), and for packs that are designed to allow the protective sheet (backing) to be easily peeled off from the container body (blister) (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0005] Conventional blister packs such as those described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are packaging materials for protecting products during transportation and on display, and are generally made by thermoforming a plastic sheet to fit the shape of the contents (product) to form the container body (blister), making them specialized for each product and resulting in a lack of versatility. Furthermore, as described above, conventional blister packs are designed to protect products during transportation and on display, and most of the protective sheets (backing sheets) are made of paper, which makes them lack durability and makes them unsuitable for carrying (carrying around) the contents stored in the blister pack for long periods of time, particularly when used outdoors, limiting their uses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The blister key holder of this invention is a blister key holder equipped with a blister pack that protects the contents to be stored, characterized in that the blister pack comprises a blister body having a hollow convex portion in which the contents to be stored are stored and a flange portion formed on the outer periphery of the opening of the hollow convex portion, a support plate that covers the opening of the hollow convex portion, and a cover plate that has a window portion through which the hollow convex portion passes and that, together with the support plate, clamps the flange portion of the blister body.

[0012] By using the blister key holder of this invention, you can carry your desired goods around as a key holder while protecting them from dirt while they are stored in a blister pack.

[0013] The structure of the blister key holder of the present invention will be described in detail below. As described above, the blister key holder of the present invention includes a blister pack that protects the contents.

[0014] The blister pack includes a blister body having a hollow protrusion for containing an object and a flange formed on the outer periphery of the opening of the hollow protrusion. Suitable materials for the blister body include, but are not limited to, synthetic resins such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and PS (polystyrene). The blister body is preferably transparent so that the contents can be seen from the outside, and the hollow convex portion can be formed by thermoforming the synthetic resin sheet to bulge a portion of it, with the bottom of the hollow convex portion forming an opening and a flange portion formed around the periphery.

[0015] The hollow convex portions are preferably rectangular or square in plan view, but the shape is not particularly limited and may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, star-shaped, or heart-shaped in plan view. The upper surfaces of the hollow convex portions may be flat (planar), spherically curved, or have irregularities. The external dimensions of the blister body are preferably, for example, approximately 20 to 300 mm in length, 20 to 300 mm in width, and 10 to 50 mm in height, but are not limited to these ranges and may be selected appropriately depending on the dimensions of the object to be contained. The vertical and horizontal dimensions refer to the maximum vertical and horizontal dimensions, respectively, of the blister body in plan view. The height of the blister body is equal to the maximum height of the hollow convex portions. The width of the flange portion of the blister body is preferably about 4 to 10 mm, but is not limited to this range and may be selected appropriately depending on the size of the hollow convex portion, and may be enlarged or reduced, for example, depending on the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the hollow convex portion.

[0016] The blister pack includes a support plate and a cover plate that sandwich the flange portion of the blister body. The support plate covers the opening of the hollow convex portion of the blister body and supports the contents contained in the hollow convex portion. The cover plate also has a window through which the hollow convex portion of the blister body passes. By matching the shape of the hollow convex portion of the blister body in a plan view with the shape of the window portion of the cover plate in a plan view, the flange portion of the blister body can be sandwiched between the support plate and the cover plate. Methacrylic resin is preferably used as the material for the support plate and the cover plate, but this is not limited thereto. The support plate and the cover plate may be transparent, translucent, or opaque, as long as they do not affect the visibility of the contents contained therein. They may be partially or entirely colored, or may be printed with letters, patterns, figures, designs, illustrations, etc.

[0017] The shape of the support plate and cover plate is preferably a vertically or horizontally elongated rectangle or square when viewed from the front, but is not limited to these shapes. The sizes of the support plate and cover plate are preferably, for example, approximately 30 to 310 mm in length, 30 to 310 mm in width, and 1 to 5 mm in thickness, but are not limited to these ranges and can be selected appropriately depending on the dimensions of the blister body. The support plate and cover plate need not be the same size, as long as they are large enough to sandwich the flange portion of the blister body.

[0018] The outer periphery of the window in the cover plate is preferably formed with a step that holds the flange of the blister body. Engaging the flange of the blister body with the step prevents the blister body, which is sandwiched between the support plate and the cover plate, from shifting position. In particular, if the height of the step in the cover plate is the same as the thickness of the flange of the blister body, the support plate and the cover plate can be tightly attached to each other, reliably holding the blister body and preventing rattling. The flange of the blister body and the cover plate may be fixed (glued) together.

[0019] The blister key holder can be equipped with a fastener that rotatably holds the support plate and cover plate together. This allows the support plate and cover plate to be rotated relative to each other, opening and closing the opening of the hollow convex portion, and changing the stored objects. The user can store desired goods in the hollow convex portion as the stored objects, and can carry around the stored objects (goods) as needed. As the fastener, a fastener that fastens by crimping a metal eyelet is preferably used, but is not limited to this and can be selected as appropriate.

[0020] The blister key holder may have a support plate and a cover plate joined together. By joining the support plate and the cover plate together, instead of using a fastener to rotatably hold the support plate and the cover plate, the hollow convex portion can be securely fixed, and the object to be stored can be stored in the hollow convex portion in a sealed state and protected.

[0021] Hanging member insertion holes are formed in the support plate and / or cover plate. The shape, size, and arrangement of the hanging member insertion holes are selected as appropriate. Since the support plate and the cover plate are not necessarily the same shape, when the hanging member insertion holes are arranged at positions where the support plate and the cover plate overlap, the hanging member insertion holes are formed in the support plate and the cover plate, and when the hanging member insertion holes are arranged at positions where the support plate and the cover plate do not overlap (positions where the support plate protrudes (projects) from the cover plate, or positions where the cover plate protrudes (projects) from the support plate), the hanging member insertion holes are formed only in the support plate or the cover plate.

[0022] The hanging member to be attached to the hanging member insertion hole is preferably a hanging member made of synthetic resin or metal, such as a cable tie or ball chain, but is not limited to these and general key holder parts can be used as appropriate. Furthermore, the material of the hanging member can be, for example, synthetic resin, metal, cloth, leather, rubber, etc., but is not limited to these and can be selected as appropriate.

[0023] Hereinafter, a blister key holder according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0026] In this embodiment, the support plate 15 and cover plate 16 are both made of methacrylic resin and are formed into a vertically elongated rectangle approximately 85 mm long, 54 mm wide, and 2 mm thick. The blister body 14 is made of PET and is a vertically elongated rectangle approximately 57 mm long and 44 mm wide in plan view. The hollow protrusions 11 formed in the blister body 14 are also vertically elongated rectangles approximately 47 mm long and 35 mm wide in plan view. The height of the blister body 14 (i.e., the height of the hollow protrusions 11) is approximately 13 mm. The corners of the hollow protrusions 11, blister body 14, support plate 15, and cover plate 16 are rounded, the size of which can be selected appropriately. The shape (dimensions) of the hollow protrusions 11 of the blister body 14 in plan view coincides with the shape (dimensions) of the window 17 of the cover plate 16 in plan view. The diameter of the hanging member insertion holes 23 and 24 is approximately 8 mm.

[0027] With the above configuration, after placing blister body 14 on support plate 15, cover plate 16 is placed over it so that hollow protrusion 11 of blister body 14 passes through window portion 17 of cover plate 16, flange portion 13 of blister body 14 is held and positioned by step portion 18 of cover plate 16, and flange portion 13 can be sandwiched between support plate 15 and cover plate 16. Then, by fastening fixing hole 20 of support plate 15 to fixing hole 21 of cover plate 16 with fastener 25, support plate 15 and cover plate 16 are held rotatably, and opening 12 of hollow protrusion 11 can be opened and closed to interchangeably store objects to be stored (not shown) in hollow protrusion 11. In addition, by attaching a hanging member (not shown) such as a cable tie or ball chain to the hanging member insertion holes 23, 24 of the support plate 15 and the cover plate 16, the user can use the hanging member to attach the blister key holder 1 to a bag, mobile phone, wallet, etc. and carry it around.
