In the above-described continuous egg container, there is a problem that when the lid is opened and both ends are held by hand, the connecting part of the first and second unit egg containers is easily bent. The first object of the present invention is to solve this problem.
Moreover, in the conventional egg container which formed the hinge part which connected and opened the back edge part of the container-shaped main body and the back edge part of the cover body which covers this main body, the side edge part of the main body and the cover body Since the shape of the side edges of the container is different, a hole is formed between the two when the lid is closed, and there is a problem that foreign substances may be mixed inside the container at a storefront or the like. The second object of the present invention is to solve this problem.

With regard to the size of eggs, conventionally, it has been naturally taken into account that eggs of the same size are accommodated in the same container, and there is a container in which the size of the accommodating recess is matched to the size of the egg to be accommodated. Each was offered. However, in recent years, since the weight of the entire container has changed in a direction to align with the target value, a container in which the size of the accommodating recess is adjusted to the maximum size (LL size) is provided, and the LL size to the S size are provided in the container. Chicken eggs are mixed.
However, when S-sized eggs are accommodated in the accommodating recesses for LL size, there is a problem that the eggs are inclined and contacted with the eggs in the adjacent accommodating recesses and broken because a gap is formed between the accommodating recess walls. . The third object of the present invention is to solve this problem.

  The configuration of the present invention will be described in the following [1] to [3]. In this section ([Means for Solving the Problems]) and the next section ([Effects of the Invention]), reference numerals are given for ease of understanding, and the present invention is configured by reference numerals. It is not intended to be limited.

[1] Configuration 1
A first unit egg container A in which the rear edge portion 140 of the container-shaped main body 1 and the rear edge portion 340 of the lid 3 covering the main body 1 are connected and opened and closed can be used. A side-by-side egg container formed by connecting to the side edge parts 130 and 330 of the second unit egg container B having the same configuration at the side edge parts 130 and 330 in the direction perpendicular to
The continuous portions C1 and C3 of the side edge portions 130 and 330 where the first and second unit egg containers A and B are continuously provided have a convex shape that protrudes from the side edge portion 130 in the main body 1, The lid 3 has a concave shape that is recessed from the side edge 330.
A continuous egg container characterized by that.
In the above, the second unit egg container B having the same configuration as described above means that “the rear edge portion 140 of the container-shaped main body 1 and the rear edge portion 340 of the lid 3 that covers the main body 1 are connected. This means that the structure is the same as that of the first unit egg container A in that it is openable and closable and has side edges 130 and 330 oriented in a direction orthogonal to the back edge 140. Therefore, for example, the length of the rear edge portion 140, the number of receiving recesses (see Configuration 3), and the like may be different between the first and second unit egg containers. In addition, since the 1st and 2nd unit egg containers A and B are continuously arranged in the side edge parts 130 and 330 in the side edge parts 130 and 330, both are the same in this connection part. It takes a thing.

[2] Configuration 2
In configuration 1,
The side edge portion 130 of the main body 1 having the continuous portion C1 having the convex shape and the side edge portion 330 of the lid body 3 having the continuous portion C3 having the concave shape are in close contact with the lid body 3 in a closed state. To

[3] Configuration 3
In Configuration 1 or Configuration 2,
The main body 1 is configured by arranging accommodation recesses 15 for accommodating a maximum-sized egg in a vertical orientation, and the height of the partition wall 150 that divides each accommodation recess 15 is accommodated in the accommodation recess 15. The minimum size egg is set to a height that does not come into contact with the egg in the adjacent accommodating recess 15.
A continuous egg container characterized by that.
The maximum size egg is a chicken egg generally referred to as LL size, and the minimum size egg is a chicken egg generally referred to as S size. Moreover, the vertical direction is a direction in which the major axis direction of the egg forming an approximately ellipsoid is along the vertical direction.

The configuration 1 includes the first unit egg container A that is configured to be openable and closable by continuously connecting the back edge portion 140 of the container-shaped main body 1 and the back edge portion 340 of the lid 3 that covers the main body 1. A continuous egg container formed by connecting side edges 130 and 330 of the second unit egg container B having the same configuration at side edges 130 and 330 in a direction orthogonal to the rear edge 140, The continuous portions C1 and C3 of the side edge portions 130 and 330 where the first and second unit egg containers A and B are continuously provided have a convex shape protruding from the side edge portion 130 in the main body 1, and Since the lid 3 has a concave shape that is recessed from the side edge portion 330, the connecting portion is not easily bent even when the lid is opened and held by hand.
In the configuration 2, the side edge portion 130 of the main body 1 having the continuous portion C1 having the convex shape and the side edge portion 330 of the lid body 3 having the continuous portion C3 having the concave shape in the configuration 1 are as follows. Since the lid 3 is in close contact with the lid 3 closed, no hole is formed, and there is no possibility of foreign matter entering the container at a storefront or the like.
Configuration 3 is Configuration 1 or Configuration 2, in which the main body 1 is configured by arranging storage recesses 15 for storing a maximum size egg in a vertical orientation, and partitioning the storage recesses 15. The height of 150 is set to a height at which the egg of the minimum size accommodated in the accommodation recess 15 does not come into contact with the egg of the adjacent accommodation recess 15. There will be no contact with the eggs and damage.

The continuous egg container of embodiment is shown, (a) is a perspective view of a lid open state, (b) is a perspective view of a lid closed state. (A) is the side view of the arrow P direction in FIG.1 (b), (b) is the top view which looked at Fig.1 (a) from the top. (A) is the RR sectional view and end view in FIG.2 (b), (b) is SS sectional drawing, (c) is TT sectional drawing.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The illustrated continuous egg container includes a first unit egg container A and a second unit egg container B connected to each other at the side edges 130 and 330. That is, the main body 1 is continuously connected at the main body connecting edge C1a-C1b at the center portion of the side edge portion 130 of the main body 1, and the cover body connecting edge C3a-C3b at the center portion of the side edge portion 330 of the cover body 3 is provided. The lid 3 is continuously provided.

  Each of the first and second unit egg containers A and B has a container-shaped main body 1, a container-shaped lid body 3, and a receiving plate 5. The main body 1 and the lid body 3 are connected to each other at a back edge portion 140 of the main body 1 and a back edge portion 340 of the lid body 3, and this continuous portion is the container hinge portion 2. That is, the lid 3 can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 1 with the container hinge portion 2 as an opening / closing axis.

  In addition, a receiving plate 5 is connected to a central portion of the front edge portion 120 of the main body 1 so as to be turned back toward the main body 1. That is, the receiving plate 5 is continuously provided from the front edge portion 120 of the main body 1, and this continuous portion is the plate hinge portion 4.

  An engagement protrusion 59 is formed at a substantially central portion of the receiving plate 5 (projecting downward in FIG. 1A). When the receiving plate 5 is folded to the side of the main body 1 and the lid 3 is put on the receiving plate 5 and the main body 1 in this state, the engaging protrusion 59 is formed in the engaging hole 39 of the lid front cover portion 32 of the lid 3. The lid 3 is inserted and engaged, and is fixed to the main body 1 side as shown in FIG.

  The container-like main body 1 is provided with 2 × 3 = 6 accommodation recesses 15 for accommodating eggs, and a partition wall 150 is provided between adjacent accommodation recesses 15-15. ing. The size of each accommodation recess 15 is a size that can accommodate a maximum size (LL size) egg in a vertical orientation. For this reason, when a relatively small size (L-size to M-size to S-size) egg is accommodated, a slight gap is generated between the small egg and the wall of the accommodation recess 15, Tilt according to the size of the.

  If the height of the partition between adjacent storage recesses remains the same as the partition of a conventional egg container for the maximum size (LL size), the tilted chicken egg hits the egg in the adjacent storage recess. There is a fear of breakage. In order to prevent this damage, in the illustrated egg container, the height H of the partition wall (see FIGS. 3B and 3C) is applied to the egg in the adjacent accommodating recess even if the egg has the smallest size (S size). The height is set so that it does not touch (a height higher than before).

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the continuous portion C <b> 1 in the main body 1 of the first and second unit egg containers A and B has a convex shape that rises from the side edge 130. That is, the continuous edge C1a of the first unit egg container A and the continuous edge C1b of the second unit egg container B have a convex shape that protrudes from the side edge portion 130.

  On the other hand, the continuous portion C3 in the lid 3 of the first and second unit egg containers A and B has a concave shape that is recessed from the side edge 330 as shown in FIG. That is, the continuous edge C <b> 3 a of the first unit egg container A and the continuous edge C <b> 3 b of the second unit egg container B form concave shapes that are recessed from the respective side edge portions 330.

  As described above, the continuous portion C1 of the main body 1 has a convex shape, the continuous portion C3 of the lid 3 has a concave shape, and the main body 1 of each of the first and second unit egg containers A and B. And the lid 3 are integrated with each other via the container hinge portion 2, so that the first and second unit egg containers have a sufficiently large strength as compared to the conventional continuous egg container in which the connected parts are flat. Even if the lid 1 is opened and both ends are held by hand, it does not bend.

  In the illustrated continuous egg container, the convex shape formed by the continuous portion C1 in the main body 1 of the first and second unit egg containers A and B, and the first and second unit egg containers A and B are provided. The concave shape formed by the continuous portion C3 in the lid body 3 forms the same corresponding shape. For this reason, when the lid 3 is closed, the side edge portion 130 including the continuous portion C1 on the main body 1 side and the side edge portion 330 including the continuous portion C3 on the lid body 3 side are in close contact (FIG. 2 (a)), no hole is formed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent foreign matters from entering from the hole at the store or the like.

  Further, in the first and second unit egg containers A and B of the continuous egg container shown in the figure, when the lid 1 is closed, the front edge 320 of the lid 3 overlaps the front edge 120 of the main body 1. First, the lid front cover portion 32 covers most of the main body front wall of the main body 1 (the wall portion having the front edge portion 120 as the upper edge). In other words, the lid front cover portion 32 of the lid 3 has a larger area than before. For this reason, a desired printing can be applied to the lid front cover portion 32 in a larger area than before, or a label subjected to the desired printing can be attached.
