Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a shirt-shaped assembled package that can be folded flat and assembled into a half-box shape when storing items. After storing the items inside, the top can be folded and the lid can be closed for display and portability. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, roughly bag-shaped packages for storing a large number of cookies and other confectioneries, small items, or beverages have been decorated with patterns printed or otherwise applied to the package for sales promotion purposes. However, these packages are of a conventional bag shape and cannot be said to be differentiated from other packages. There is a demand for innovatively shaped packages that can be displayed and carried around for the purpose of sales promotion.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a packaging bag in which the rim of the bag body, which is square from the front, is folded backward along a fold line that runs horizontally at a predetermined width downward from the top end, and both shoulder portions of the bag body are folded forward along diagonal fold lines that run from the top of the bag body to both left and right sides, so that both sides of the rim are positioned close to each other on the front of the bag body, and which is equipped with a shape-retaining member such as a tie string that holds both sides of the rim in this close position.

[0004] In addition, Patent Document 2 describes a packaging for beverage containers that wraps around beverage containers such as PET bottles to make them easy to carry, functions as a cooler container, and has the appearance of a garment with a front that opens at the front and sleeves. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-88340 [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-260571 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Both Patent Documents 1 and 2 have packaging shapes that resemble clothing, and are designed for both display and portability. However, while Patent Document 1 resembles the shape of clothing, it is no more than a conventional bag shape and is not very eye-catching. Furthermore, to remove the product, the shape-retaining member must be removed, and the opening of the bag must be unfolded and widened, which is a hassle.

[0007] In addition, the product in Patent Document 2 imitates the shape of clothing, but the shape and size of the product to be stored are limited, and it must match the size of the packaging body, making it unsuitable for general use. Also, to take out the stored product, it is necessary to untie and open the front body part, which is time-consuming.

[0008] This invention focuses on the above points and aims to provide a shirt-shaped assembled package that is a three-dimensional clothing-shaped package that allows easy storage and removal of items, can be folded flat when not in use, and can be easily assembled when in use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The invention of claim 1 relates to a shirt-shaped assembled package in which the front panel, back panel, right side panel, and left side panel are formed into a rectangular tube shape via folds, bottom panel forming pieces protruding from the lower ends of each of these via the folds are engaged with each other to form a bottom panel, flat V-shaped notches are formed in the right side panel and left side panel to separate them into upper and lower halves, the lower parts of these flat V-shaped notches are recessed inward by the folds, and the upper parts protrude outward via a fold in the center of the upper parts to bring the upper parts of the front panel and back panel close together and abut their upper ends, an overlapping protruding piece provided in the center of the upper edge of the back panel is folded and placed on top of the front panel, and a locking tongue provided at the tip of the overlapping protruding piece can be inserted into a locking notch hole provided in the upper part of the front panel to freely lock.

[0010] The invention of claim 2 relates to the shirt-type assembled package of claim 1, in which an inverted triangular notch is provided in the center of the upper edge of each of the right and left side panels, a straight notch is provided from the lower center of the notch toward the center of the flat V-shaped notch, and a mountain fold is provided from the lower end of the straight notch to the center of the flat V-shaped notch, diagonal folds are provided from both sides of the upper edge of each of the right and left side panels to the lower end of the straight notch, and the portions between these diagonal folds and the inverted triangular notch are folded to form contact pieces, and a front fold-out piece is provided at the upper edge of the front panel via a fold, and upper parts of the flat V-shaped notches of the left and right side panels are folded along the mountain fold to bring the folded contact pieces into contact with each other, and the front fold-out piece is folded to make it contact the inside of the back panel, so that the upper parts of the front panel and the back panel overlap. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the invention of claim 1, a horizontal flat V-shaped cut is made in the approximate center of the right and left side panels, dividing each panel into upper and lower halves, with the upper part protruding outward and the lower part recessed inward. Furthermore, the polymerized protrusions connected to the back panel are bent and secured onto the front panel, creating a three-dimensional package with the left and right sleeves of a shirt. This creates a promotional effect when displayed in a store, attracting customers' attention. Furthermore, when storing or removing products, simply remove the locking tongue of the upper polymerized protrusion from the locking notch, allowing for easy insertion and removal of products through the opening. Furthermore, because it is an assembly type, it can be folded flat when not in use, saving space.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 2, the front folding piece of the front panel is abutted against the inner surface of the back panel at the top end of the packaging body, and the folded abutment pieces of the right and left side panels are abutted against each other. Therefore, when the locking tongue piece of the overlapping protruding piece is removed from the locking cut hole, the repulsive force of the abutment widens the opening, making it easy to insert or remove products from the opening at the top of the packaging body.

[0014] (Embodiment Example 1) A shirt-type assembled package A according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0015] First, the development base 1 of this shirt-type assembled package A will be described with reference to FIG. The unfolded mount 1 has a vertically long rectangular front panel 2, a vertically long rectangular right side panel 3 attached to the right of it via fold line a, and a back panel 4 of the same shape as the front panel 2 attached to the right of that via fold line b. Also, a left side panel 5 of the same shape as the right side panel 3 is attached to the left of the front panel 2 via fold line c, and an adhesive strip 6 is provided on the left side of the left side panel 5 via fold line d.

[0016] A front folding piece 7 is provided at the upper end of the front panel 2 via a fold line e, and a bottom panel forming piece 8 is provided at the lower end via a fold line f. A substantially quadrilateral notch 9 is provided in the center of the lower end of the bottom panel forming piece 8. A locking notch 10 is also provided in the center of the upper part of the front panel 2.

[0017] A substantially semicircular overlapping protruding piece 11 is provided at the center of the upper edge of the back panel 4 via fold line g, and a locking tongue piece 12 is provided at its upper end via fold line h. A bottom plate forming piece 13 is provided at the lower end of the back panel 4 via fold line i. This bottom plate forming piece 13 is substantially inverted trapezoidal, and its central tip forms an insertion piece 13a.

[0018] Furthermore, a flat V-shaped notch 14 is formed in approximately the center of the right side panel 3, from one end to the other on the left and right. An inverted triangular notch 15 is provided in the center of the upper end of this right side panel 3, and a linear notch 16 is provided from the lower center of notch 15 to the center of the lower end of flat V-shaped notch 14 on the right side panel 3. A mountain fold j is provided from the lower end of linear notch 16 to the center of flat V-shaped notch 14.

[0019] Further, oblique folds k are provided from both sides of the upper end of the right side panel 3 to the lower end of the linear cutout 16, and the portions between these oblique folds k and the inverted triangular cutout 15 form bent contact pieces 17, 17. A protrusion 17a is formed at the upper end of one of these bent contact pieces 17, 17.

[0020] A triangular recess 18 is provided at the lower end of the right side panel 3 via folds m, m. A fold n is provided from the center of the flattened V-shaped notch 14 to the apex of the triangular recess 18. A bottom plate forming piece 19 is provided at the lower end of the right side panel 3 via fold o. This bottom plate forming piece 19 is roughly in the shape of a right triangle, with a semicircular protrusion 19a extending horizontally from the bottom.

[0021] The left side panel 5 has the same shape as the right side panel 3 and is formed symmetrically. Therefore, the left side panel 5 is provided with the flat V-shaped notch 14, the inverted triangular notch 15 at the center of the upper end of the left side panel 5, the linear notch 16, the bent abutment piece 17, the triangular recess 18, the bottom panel forming piece 19, and the semicircular protrusion 19a.

[0022] To assemble the shirt-shaped assembled package A from the above-described unfolded base sheet 1, first, fold the folds b, a, c, and d in that order, and then attach the adhesive tab 6 to the back surface of the right edge of the back panel 4 with an adhesive. As a result, the front panel 2, right side panel 3, back panel 4, and left side panel 5 (not shown) form a rectangular tube, as shown in Figure 3.

[0023] Then, the bottom plate forming piece 8 is folded approximately 90 degrees inward along crease f toward the inside of the front panel 2, and each of the bottom plate forming pieces 19 on the right side panel 3 and the left side panel 5 is folded approximately 90 degrees inward, with each semicircular protrusion 19a engaging with the notch 9 of the bottom plate forming piece 8. In this state, the bottom plate forming piece 13 on the back panel 4 is folded approximately 90 degrees inward, and its insertion piece 13a is inserted into the notch 9. As a result, the bottom plate forming pieces 8, 13, 19, 19 are engaged with each other to form the bottom plate.

[0024] Thereafter, the triangular recesses 18 are recessed inward along the fold lines m and n of the right side panel 3 and the left side panel 5, and the upper portions of the right side panel 3 and the left side panel 5 are protruded outward along the fold line j. At this time, the contact pieces 17 are folded along the fold lines k, respectively, so that they come into contact with each other.

[0025] 6, the front fold-in piece 7 is then folded inward along crease e at the top end of the front panel 2, and the overlapping protruding piece 11 at the top of the back panel 4 is placed over the upper edge of the front panel 2 along crease g, with the locking tongue piece 12 of the overlapping protruding piece 11 inserted into the locking cut-out hole 10 in the front panel 2. This causes the upper edges of the front panel 2 and back panel 4 to butt together, and the folded abutting pieces 17, 17 at the tops of the right panel 3 and left panel 5 are further butted together and overlapped, thereby closing the opening of this shirt-shaped assembled package A.

[0026] As a result, as shown in Figure 1, the left and right side panels 3, 5 have a flat V-shaped notch 14 between them, with the upper part protruding outward and the lower part recessed inward, forming the upper part like a shirt sleeve. Furthermore, a superimposed protruding piece 11 in the center of the upper part resembles the neck hole of a shirt, giving the package a three-dimensional shirt shape. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, a space 20 is formed inside, allowing a product S, such as snacks, to be stored.

[0027] When removing the product S, the locking tongue 12 of the overlapping protrusion 11 is removed from the locking cutout 10 in the front panel 2, and the front fold-out piece 7 and the upper folded contact pieces 17, 17 of the right panel 3 and the left panel 5, which have been contacting the inside of the back panel 4, repel each other, causing them to move away from each other and open. This makes it easy to remove the product S from inside.

[0028] 3, when the shirt-shaped assembled package A is not containing a product S, the locking tongue 12 of the overlapping protruding piece 11 is removed from the locking cutout 10, the front fold piece 7 is unfolded to flatten it, the folding abutment pieces 17 are spread out, the lower parts of the right side panel 3 and the left side panel 5 are recessed by making valley folds at folds m and n, and the upper parts are protruded outward by making a mountain fold at fold j, and the bottom panel forming pieces 8, 13, 19, 19 are released from their mutual locking to form a rectangular tube, and then the diagonal folds can be unfolded to flatten it. Therefore, when the shirt-shaped assembled package A is not needed, it can be stacked flat.

[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, if vertical stripes are applied to the front panel 2 and horizontal stripes are applied to the right side panel 3 and left side panel 5, it will be reminiscent of a sports uniform such as a soccer uniform, which will attract the consumer's attention and create a more tasteful package.
