Patent Document 1
[0004] The above patent document relates to a dew condensation prevention cover for a drinking container and has the following description.
[0013] [Example 1] A water-absorbing sheet 1 made of a highly water-absorbent non-woven fiber having a dimension 10 mm shorter than the outer peripheral length of a beer bottle 5 was continuously bonded with a 16-μm-thick polyethylene terephthalate film (hereinafter referred to as a PET film) 30 mm wider than the size of the water-absorbing sheet 1 using an adhesive. Then, it was cut perpendicular to the continuous direction according to the size of the portion where dew condensation prevention of the beer bottle 5 was desired, and a dew condensation prevention cover for a drinking container having a sticking margin portion 3 as shown in the first figure was created.
[0014] Next, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the drinking container condensation prevention cover is wrapped around the beer bottle 5, the inside of the adhesive portion 3 of the PET film 2 is moistened with water 6, and when it is attached to the surface of the lower PET film 2, the PET film is temporarily fixed in place by the surface tension of the water 6. As a result, the drinking container condensation prevention cover absorbs the water droplets that condense on the cold beer due to the relatively high temperature of the outside air, and the drinking container condensation prevention cover is fixed around the beer bottle 5, making it easier to handle. In addition, the water-absorbing sheet 1 absorbs water appropriately, providing a non-slip surface, and the beer bottle 5 inside does not fall out. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0005] In the technology described in Patent Document 1, a PET film 2 wrapped around the body of a can or bottle is provided with an adhesive portion 3. When the drinking container condensation prevention cover is wrapped around a beer bottle 5, the inside of the adhesive portion 3 is wet with water 6, and it is attached to the surface of the lower PET film 2, and the PET film is temporarily fixed in place by the surface tension of the water 6.
[0006] The above technology does not include the idea of providing a part of the sheet that is wrapped around a container such as a beer bottle with a function other than wrapping.
[0007] On the other hand, there is a need for sheets that are wrapped around the body of cylindrical containers such as cans and bottles to have functions such as displaying useful information.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0023] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a cylindrical container covering sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] The cylindrical container covering sheet of this embodiment has a sheet body 10 that has a vertical dimension Y and a horizontal dimension X.
[0025] In this embodiment, the cylindrical container 20 is illustrated in the figure as a can. In this example, the cylindrical portion of the can, excluding the upper and lower seams 22, is the body 21. This example describes the case where the can is canned emergency food. Therefore, in this example, the cylindrical container 20 is stockpiled at home or in the office in preparation for disasters, with the premise that it will be carried to an evacuation center or similar location when a disaster occurs.
[0026] [Sheet body 10] The sheet body 10 can be made of paper, plastic film, or the like.
[0027] The vertical dimension Y is set to a dimension corresponding to the vertical dimension of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 to be covered. Here, the dimension corresponding to the vertical dimension of the body portion 21 means that the vertical dimension Y is not necessarily exactly equal to the vertical dimension of the body portion 21, but rather allows for some degree of dimensional difference. Preferably, the vertical dimension Y is set to a dimension equal to or slightly smaller than the vertical dimension of the body portion 21.
[0028] The above horizontal dimension X is set to the sum of the dimension X1 corresponding to the outer circumference of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 and the additional dimension X2. Here, the dimension X1 corresponding to the outer circumference of the body portion 21 is not limited to being exactly equal to the outer circumference of the body portion 21, but is intended to allow for some degree of dimensional difference. Preferably, the above dimension X1 is set to be equal to or slightly larger than the outer circumference of the body portion 21. The above additional dimension X2 can be set to any desired dimension.
[0029] The sheet body 10 is provided with a perforation line 11 at a distance of X1 corresponding to the outer circumference of the body 21 of the cylindrical container 20, extending from one end (the left end in Figure 1) to the other end (the right end in Figure 1) in the horizontal direction. The perforation line 11 is not particularly limited, but preferably, a perforation line can be used, which is made by making fine cuts (pitch) in the sheet body 10 so that it can be easily separated by hand.
[0030] Furthermore, the end of the cylindrical container 20 that is wrapped around the body 21 of the cylindrical container 20 and covers the body 21 is the covering portion 31. The other end of the cylindrical container 20 that is wrapped around the body 21 is the information display portion 41 on which predetermined information is displayed.
[0031] [Covered portion 31] As shown in Figure 2, the covering portion 31 can be wrapped around the outer circumference of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 to cover the body portion 21. In this example, the dimension X1 is set to be slightly larger than the outer circumference of the body portion 21. Therefore, when the covering portion 31 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 to cover the body portion 21, an excess portion 39 is formed where both ends of the covering portion 31 overlap. In this state, the information portion 41 can be cut off from the cut line 11. With the information portion 41 cut off, both ends of the covering portion 31 can be secured with adhesive tape or the like to maintain the covering state of the body portion 21.
[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the surface of the covering portion 31 is provided with a pattern display section 33 on a substantially white background. The substantially white background is not limited to pure white, but includes light colors such as light ivory, light gray, and milky white, as long as they do not interfere with the coloring process described later.
[0033] The image displayed in the image display section 33 is a coloring page in which the area enclosed by the outline is a colored area where the white background is exposed. In this embodiment, the image represents the supplies needed in the event of a disaster, and the image display section 33 functions as a list of items to prepare for a disaster.
[0034] Furthermore, a two-dimensional code 35 is displayed on the surface of the covering portion 31. The two-dimensional code 35 can, for example, contain a link to a webpage containing desired information. This allows us to provide users with a large amount of information that cannot be displayed on the sheet body 10. The information to be posted on the webpage could, for example, be a checklist of items needed in the event of a disaster.
[0035] Furthermore, a name printing space 37 is provided on the surface of the covering portion 31. This name printing space 37 is essentially a blank space where a company name, logo, contact address, contact phone number, website URL, etc., can be printed or engraved as needed. Such a name printing space 37 can be effectively utilized when the cylindrical container 20 (in this example, canned emergency food) is offered as a novelty item. In other words, the provider of the novelty item can print or engrave their company name, etc., on it.
[0036] As shown in Figure 4, the back surface of the covering portion 31 is provided with a first entry field 34 where the assembly place in the event of a disaster can be written. The first entry field 34 has space to write up to three assembly places in the event of a disaster. By writing the destination in the event of a disaster in the first entry field 34, it is possible to evacuate quickly and without getting lost when taking this cylindrical container 20 with you.
[0037] Furthermore, a second entry field 36 is provided on the back of the covering portion 31 for writing emergency contact information. The second entry field 36 has space to write up to three emergency contact numbers in case of disaster. By writing emergency contact information in the second entry field 36, when evacuating with this cylindrical container 20, you can be sure to make contact without worrying about not knowing who the necessary emergency contacts are.
[0038] By wrapping the covering portion 31 around the cylindrical container 20 to cover the body portion 21, it can be used to create a list of necessary disaster prevention supplies when stockpiling the cylindrical container 20 (in this example, canned emergency food). Furthermore, when evacuating with the cylindrical container 20 (in this example, canned emergency food) during a disaster, one can evacuate quickly and without hesitation, and contact emergency contacts without fail.
[0039] [Information section 41] The information display portion 41 described above is detached from the cylindrical container 20 to which the covering portion 31 is wrapped, and the detached information display portion 41 can be used by storing the displayed information separately from the cylindrical container 20. For example, the information display portion 41 can display the name and contact information of the company that sells the cylindrical container 20 (in this example, canned emergency food).
[0040] [Effects of the Embodiment] The cylindrical container covering sheet of the above embodiment has a sheet body 10 having a vertical dimension Y and a horizontal dimension X. The vertical dimension Y is set to a dimension corresponding to the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 to be covered. The horizontal dimension X is set to a dimension X1 corresponding to the outer circumference of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 plus an additional dimension X2. The sheet body 10 is provided with a cut line 11 at a distance of X1 corresponding to the outer circumference of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20, extending from one end to the other in the horizontal direction. The end of the sheet body 10, separated by the cut line 11, is the covering portion 31 that is wrapped around the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 to cover the body portion 21, and the other end of the sheet body 10, separated by the cut line 11, is the information display portion 41 on which predetermined information is displayed. With this configuration, the sheet body 10 can be cut along the cutting line 11 to separate the covering portion 31 and the information display portion 41. The separated covering portion 31 can be wrapped around the outer circumference of the body portion 21 of the cylindrical container 20 to cover the body portion 21. The covering portion 31 wrapped around the body portion 21 can be secured, for example, with adhesive tape. Since the separated information display portion 41 is separated from the cylindrical container 20 to which the covering portion 31 was wrapped, the information displayed can be stored separately from the cylindrical container 20 and used for other purposes.
[0041] The cylindrical container covering sheet of the above embodiment is provided with a pattern display area 33 on the surface of the covering portion 31, which displays a pattern on a substantially white background. The pattern on the pattern display area 33 is a coloring picture in which the area surrounded by the outline is a colored area where the white background is exposed. Therefore, in addition to simply using the cylindrical container 20, users can enjoy the fun of creating the appearance themselves by coloring in the picture display section 33.
[0042] In the cylindrical container covering sheet of the above embodiment, a two-dimensional code 35 is displayed on the surface of the covering portion 31. By including a link to a webpage containing the desired information in the above-mentioned two-dimensional code 35, it becomes possible to provide users with a large amount of information that cannot be displayed on the sheet itself 10.
[0043] In the cylindrical container covering sheet of the above embodiment, a name printing space 37 is provided on the surface of the covering portion 31. The desired name can be displayed in the name engraving space 37 above.
[0044] The cylindrical container covering sheet of the above embodiment is provided with a first writing area 34 on the back surface of the covering portion 31 where the assembly place in the event of a disaster can be written. Users can use the above-mentioned Section 1, Item 34, to indicate the meeting place in case of a disaster.
[0045] The cylindrical container covering sheet of the above embodiment is provided with a second writing area 36 on the back surface of the covering portion 31 for writing emergency contact information. Users can use the service by writing their own emergency contact information in section 36 of the second section described above.
[0046] [Variation] The above describes particularly preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated embodiments. The present invention can be modified and implemented in various forms other than those described above, and is intended to encompass various modifications other than those described above.
[0047] For example, in the above embodiment, the cylindrical container 20 is exemplified as a can container, but it is not limited to this, and various cylindrical containers such as bottle containers can be used as long as they have a cylindrical body. [Explanation of Symbols]
