Description

本発明は、飲料用水素含有水製品が箱内に充填されてなる箱詰めキットに関し、詳細には、該飲料用水素含有水製品に充填された飲料用水素含有水の溶存水素濃度を高い値にて維持することができる箱詰めキットに関する。
また本発明は、飲料用水素含有水の溶存水素濃度を長期間高い値にて維持することができる飲料用水素含有水製品の箱詰め保存法にも関する。 The present invention relates to a boxing kit in which a hydrogen-containing water product for beverages is filled in a box. Specifically, the present invention increases the dissolved hydrogen concentration of hydrogen-containing water for beverages filled in the hydrogen-containing water product for beverages to a high value. Regarding boxing kits that can be maintained.
The present invention also relates to a method for storing hydrogen-containing water products for beverages in a box, which can maintain a high concentration of dissolved hydrogen in hydrogen-containing water for beverages for a long period of time.

液体飲料や流動性を有する食品等を収容する容器として、プラスチック製の飲み口（スパウト）付きのアルミラミネート・フィルムなどで出来た袋状の包装容器（パウチ容器）が提案されている。
こうしたスパウト付容器とは、可とう性を備えた袋状の容器体に筒状のスパウトを装着した袋状容器であり、所謂「チアパック」と呼ばれているものである。 As a container for storing liquid beverages, fluid foods, and the like, a bag-shaped packaging container (pouch container) made of an aluminum laminate film with a plastic spout has been proposed.
Such a container with a spout is a bag-shaped container in which a tubular spout is attached to a bag-shaped container body having flexibility, and is a so-called "cheer pack".

一般に密封容器に充填された製品は、内容物が飲食物である場合はとりわけ、内容物の品質保持が重要であり、例えば充填時や製造後の保管時に混入する空気による品質劣化の防止が重要な事項とされている。このため、内容物の空気との接触を避け、その保存性を高めるための種々の製品が既に提案されている。
例えば容器についての提案としては、袋状容器体に気密性の高い素材を採用した、注出口付き袋（特許文献１）、注出具（スパウト）に気密性の高い素材を採用した、ガスバリアー性および／ないし遮光性を有する注出具と該注出具を備えた注出具付き包装袋（特許文献２）、或いは、キャップ部分に気密性の高い素材のカバーの採用を図った、パウチ用スパウトのシール構造（特許文献３）等がある。 In general, it is important to maintain the quality of the contents of products filled in sealed containers, especially when the contents are food and drink. For example, it is important to prevent quality deterioration due to air mixed in during filling and storage after manufacturing. It is said to be a matter of concern. For this reason, various products have already been proposed for avoiding contact of the contents with air and improving their storage stability.
For example, as a proposal for a container, a bag with a highly airtight material is used for the bag-shaped container body (Patent Document 1), and a highly airtight material is used for the spout, which has gas barrier properties. And / or a light-shielding dispenser and a packaging bag with a dispenser equipped with the dispenser (Patent Document 2), or a pouch spout seal in which a cover made of a highly airtight material is used for the cap portion. There is a structure (Patent Document 3) and the like.

特開２００２−１７９０７８号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-179078 特開２００１−２１３４５５号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-21345 特開２００１−１３０６０９号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-130609

本発明が対象とする水素含有水製品にあっては、空気と接触することで空気が水素含有水に溶解して水素含有水中の溶存水素濃度が低下し、ひいては水素含有水としての品質低下が生じ得る。すなわち、水素含有水が充填・密封された容器内において、空気との接触をできる限り抑制することが、水素含有水製品の品質保持のために重要となる。
しかしながら、これまで提案された容器、例えば袋状容器体やスパウトやキャップのカバーに気密性の高い素材を採用した容器（特許文献１〜特許文献３など）は、以前と比べて密封性が高められているものの、これらスパウトとキャップは気密性を完全に保てる訳ではないため、容器外部と極僅かながら連通することは避けられない。
このため、容器内部の水素ガスは長い時間をかけて、スパウトとキャップから極微量が徐々に放出され、それとともに容器外部からの空気が容器内部に徐々に流入し、結果、容器内の水素含有水の溶存水素濃度が低下する虞がある。 In the hydrogen-containing water product targeted by the present invention, when it comes into contact with air, the air dissolves in the hydrogen-containing water and the concentration of dissolved hydrogen in the hydrogen-containing water decreases, which in turn reduces the quality of the hydrogen-containing water. Can occur. That is, it is important to suppress contact with air as much as possible in a container filled and sealed with hydrogen-containing water in order to maintain the quality of hydrogen-containing water products.
However, the containers proposed so far, for example, containers using a highly airtight material for the bag-shaped container body, the cover of the spout, and the cap (Patent Documents 1 to 3, etc.), have higher sealing properties than before. However, these spouts and caps are not completely airtight, so it is inevitable that they will communicate with the outside of the container, albeit slightly.
Therefore, a very small amount of hydrogen gas inside the container is gradually released from the spout and the cap over a long period of time, and at the same time, air from the outside of the container gradually flows into the inside of the container, resulting in hydrogen content in the container. There is a risk that the dissolved hydrogen concentration in water will decrease.

本発明は、斯かる観点より改良考案されたものである。本発明者らは鋭意検討を進めた結果、所謂「チアパック」と呼ばれる可とう性を備えた袋状の容器体に筒状のスパウトを
装着した袋状容器に水素含有水を充填・密封した飲料用水素含有水製品において、これを製造後に保管する際、キャップが下を向いた姿勢に、容器体の底部が上を向いた状態に保管することで、容器内部の水素ガスの容器外部への放出と容器外部から容器内部への空気の流入を少なくすることにより、飲料用水素含有水製品の溶存水素濃度を大きく低下させずに長期間保管できることを見出し、以下の本発明を完成させた。 The present invention has been improved and devised from such a viewpoint. As a result of diligent studies, the present inventors have conducted a diligent study, and as a result, a beverage in which a bag-shaped container having a tubular spout attached to a bag-shaped container body having flexibility called a so-called "chiapak" is filled with hydrogen-containing water and sealed. When storing a hydrogen-containing water product after manufacturing, the hydrogen gas inside the container can be moved to the outside of the container by storing it with the cap facing down and the bottom of the container facing up. We have found that by reducing the release and the inflow of air from the outside of the container to the inside of the container, the dissolved hydrogen concentration of the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking can be stored for a long period of time without significantly decreasing, and the following invention has been completed.

すなわち、本発明は、飲料用水素含有水製品が箱内に装填されてなる箱詰めキットであって、該飲料用水素含有水製品は、可撓性を有する袋状の容器体と、該容器体内に差し込まれたスパウトと、該容器体の頂部に取着された該スパウトのキャップとを備えてなるスパウト付包装容器の内部に、飲料用水素含有水が充填されてなるものであり、そして前記飲料用水素含有水製品は、前記容器体の底部が上を向き、反対に前記キャップが下を向いた姿勢にて箱内に装填されていることを特徴とする、飲料用水素含有水製品の箱詰めキットに関する。 That is, the present invention is a boxing kit in which a hydrogen-containing water product for drinking is loaded in a box, and the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking has a flexible bag-shaped container body and the inside of the container.

本発明者らはこれまで、様々な健康障害の改善を期待できるとして注目されている水素溶解水（単に水素水ともいう）の新規な製造方法として、原料となる水から残存ガスを脱気し、次いで得られた脱気水及び加圧された水素ガスをガス透過膜モジュールに導入して水素ガスを脱気水に溶解させる工程を閉じられた系において繰り返し実施することにより、得られる水素水において溶存水素濃度をより効率的に高めることができる方法を提案してきた（特許第４５５１９６４号）。
この方法によれば、水中の気体を脱気した後、加圧水素ガスを溶解させることで飽和濃度に近い高濃度の水素含有水を得ることができるものの、仮に得られた水素含有水が空気と一たび接触するならば、空気が水素含有水に再び溶解して水素含有水中の溶存水素濃度が低下し、ひいては水素含有水としての品質低下が生じ得る。このため、水素含有水を容器に充填する際、空気の容器内への混入を防ぎ、水素含有水が充填・密封された容器内において、空気の残留量をできる限り少なくすることが、水素含有水製品の品質保持のためには重要な事項である。このため本発明者らは、空気の残留量をできる限り少なくできる充填方法を検討したり、スパウト付包装容器の空気溜まり量を減少させる容器を提案したりしている（特開２０１１−２４０９５９号公報）。
しかしながら、水素含有水製品の製造時において、容器内部における空気の残留量をで
きるだけ減少させたとしても、スパウト付包装容器におけるスパウトやキャップの気密性を完全に保つことは難しく、僅かながら容器内部の空間と外部の空間とが連通しており、長期間保管後に容器内部の水素ガスが外部に放出することを完全に遮断することは困難であった。すなわち、長期間保管後には、水素含有水製品における水素含有水の溶存水素濃度が低下してしまうという傾向があった。 The present inventors have degassed residual gas from water as a raw material as a novel method for producing hydrogen-dissolved water (also simply referred to as hydrogen water), which has been attracting attention as being expected to improve various health disorders. Then, the obtained degassed water and the pressurized hydrogen gas are introduced into the gas permeable membrane module, and the step of dissolving the hydrogen gas in the degassed water is repeatedly carried out in a closed system to obtain the hydrogen water. Has proposed a method capable of increasing the dissolved hydrogen concentration more efficiently (Patent No. 4551964).
According to this method, high-concentration hydrogen-containing water close to the saturation concentration can be obtained by degassing the gas in the water and then dissolving the pressurized hydrogen gas, but the obtained hydrogen-containing water is tentatively combined with air. Once in contact, the air may re-dissolve in the hydrogen-containing water, reducing the concentration of dissolved hydrogen in the hydrogen-containing water and thus reducing the quality of the hydrogen-containing water. Therefore, when filling a container with hydrogen-containing water, it is necessary to prevent air from being mixed into the container and to reduce the residual amount of air as much as possible in the container filled and sealed with hydrogen-containing water. This is an important matter for maintaining the quality of water products. Therefore, the present inventors have studied a filling method capable of reducing the residual amount of air as much as possible, and have proposed a container for reducing the amount of air pooled in a packaging container with a spout (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2011-240959). Gazette).
However, even if the residual amount of air inside the container is reduced as much as possible during the production of hydrogen-containing water products, it is difficult to completely maintain the airtightness of the spout and cap in the packaging container with spout, and it is slightly inside the container. Since the space and the external space communicate with each other, it was difficult to completely block the release of hydrogen gas inside the container to the outside after long-term storage. That is, after long-term storage, the dissolved hydrogen concentration of hydrogen-containing water in hydrogen-containing water products tends to decrease.

そこで本発明者らは、製造した飲料用水素含有水製品の保管中に、容器内部の水素ガスが外部に放出することを如何にして減少させることができるかその方法を検討した。
そして製品の天地を逆さにし、スパウトやキャップの部分を製品内部の水素含有水自体で塞ぐ（製品内部に存在するガスをスパウトやキャップと接触させない）ことによって、これらから容器内部の水素ガスの放出が抑制されることを見出した。そしてそれにより、溶存水素濃度を大きく低下させることなく水素含有水製品を長期間保管できる箱詰めキット並びに飲料用水素含有水製品の保存方法の完成に至ったものである。
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。 Therefore, the present inventors have investigated a method for reducing the release of hydrogen gas inside the container to the outside during storage of the produced hydrogen-containing water product for beverages.
Then, by turning the product upside down and closing the spout and cap part with the hydrogen-containing water itself inside the product (the gas existing inside the product does not come into contact with the spout and cap), the hydrogen gas inside the container is released from these. Was found to be suppressed. As a result, a boxing kit capable of storing hydrogen-containing water products for a long period of time without significantly reducing the dissolved hydrogen concentration and a method for storing hydrogen-containing water products for drinking have been completed.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

本発明の箱詰めキットは、飲料用水素含有水製品が箱に充填されてなる箱詰めキットである。
前記飲料用水素含有水製品は、可撓性を有する袋状の容器体と、該容器体内に差し込まれたスパウトと、該容器体の頂部に取着された該スパウトのキャップとを備えてなるスパウト付包装容器の内部に、飲料用水素含有水が充填され、キャップによって密封されてなるものである。 The boxing kit of the present invention is a boxing kit in which a hydrogen-containing water product for drinking is filled in a box.
The hydrogen-containing water product for drinking includes a flexible bag-shaped container body, a spout inserted into the container body, and a cap of the spout attached to the top of the container body. The inside of the packaging container with a spout is filled with hydrogen-containing water for drinking and sealed by a cap.

上記スパウト付包装容器は、詳細には、上述の通り可撓性を有する袋状の容器体に筒状のスパウトを装着し、これをキャップにて密封することができる袋状容器、所謂「チアパック」の形態の容器をいう。
このような容器体としては、例えばアルミラミネートフィルム製の容器体、所謂パウチ容器が、気密性が高く水素の流出を防ぐことができるために好ましく用いられる。パウチ容器の形状としては、既に市販されているガゼットタイプ（まち付き）、スタンドタイプ（まち無し）等、各種のタイプのものを使用できる。
また、上記容器において使用するスパウトとしては、バリア材を使用して製造されたバリアスパウトを用いることが望ましい。
上記容器の製品容量は特に限定されないが、例えば１００ｍｌ乃至２，０００ｍｌ、特に１５０ｍｌ乃至５００ｍｌ、好ましくは１８０ｍｌ乃至３００ｍｌ程度の容量の容器を好適に使用できる。なお本明細書において「製品容量」とは、製品が流通・販売される際の規格容量（適正充填量、表示内容量とも称する）であり、容器に充填できる最大容量より数％〜１０％程度、より少ないものとなっている。 In detail, the packaging container with a spout is a bag-shaped container in which a tubular spout is attached to a flexible bag-shaped container body as described above and the tubular spout can be sealed with a cap, so-called "cheer pack". Refers to a container in the form of.
As such a container body, for example, a container body made of an aluminum laminated film, a so-called pouch container, is preferably used because it has high airtightness and can prevent the outflow of hydrogen. As the shape of the pouch container, various types such as a gusset type (with a gusset) and a stand type (without a gusset) already on the market can be used.
Further, as the spout used in the above container, it is desirable to use a barrier spout manufactured by using a barrier material.
The product capacity of the container is not particularly limited, but for example, a container having a capacity of 100 ml to 2,000 ml, particularly 150 ml to 500 ml, preferably 180 ml to 300 ml can be preferably used. In this specification, the "product capacity" is the standard capacity (also referred to as the appropriate filling amount and the indicated content) when the product is distributed and sold, and is about several% to 10% of the maximum capacity that can be filled in the container. , Has become less.

また上記飲料用水素含有水は、例えば本発明者らが先の特許出願（特願２００９−１２３３１０号明細書）において開示された方法に準じて、所謂膜溶解法により実施され得、同出願のすべての内容は参照することにより本書に組み込まれる。
上記飲料用水素含有水そして飲料用水素含有水製品は、具体的には（１）浄化装置において原料となる水をろ過及び浄化し、得られた浄化水を脱気装置に送る浄化工程と、（２）前記脱気装置に供給された浄化水を脱気し、得られた脱気水を水素溶解装置に送る脱気工程と、（３）前記水素溶解装置に供給された脱気水に水素ガスを溶解させ、得られた水素溶解水を殺菌装置に送る水素溶解工程と、（４）前記殺菌装置に供給された水素溶解水を殺菌し、得られた水素含有水を充填装置に送る殺菌工程と、（５）前記充填装置に供給された水素含有水を袋状容器に充填し、充填された水製品を加熱殺菌装置に送る充填工程と、（６）前記加熱殺菌装置に送られた水製品を加熱殺菌する加熱殺菌工程、とを含み、前記水素溶解装置が、ガス透過膜によって水室と気体室とに区画され、水室に前記脱気水を通過させ、一方気体室に水素ガスを加圧して供給することにより、水素ガスを前記脱気
水に溶解させるガス透過膜モジュールを備えてなり、そして工程（４）で得られた水素含有水の一部を工程（２）の脱気装置に戻し、工程（２）乃至工程（４）の間で水循環させることによる方法により、製造することができる。
なお上記工程のうち、飲料用水素含有水を製造する工程、すなわち（１）浄化工程、（２）脱気工程、（３）水素溶解工程及び（４）殺菌工程は、各工程が閉じられた系において連続して為すことにより、溶存水素濃度の高い飲料用水素含有水を製造できるので好ましい。 Further, the hydrogen-containing water for drinking can be carried out by a so-called membrane dissolution method, for example, according to the method disclosed by the present inventors in a previous patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-123310). All content is incorporated herein by reference.

The sterilization step, (5) the filling step of filling the bag-shaped container with the hydrogen-containing water supplied to the filling device and sending the filled water product to the heat sterilizing device, and (6) sending to the heating sterilizing device. The hydrogen dissolving device is divided into a water chamber and a gas chamber by a gas permeable film, and the degassed water is passed through the water chamber, while the gas chamber is included. A gas permeable membrane module for dissolving the hydrogen gas in the degassed water by pressurizing and supplying the hydrogen gas is provided, and a part of the hydrogen-containing water obtained in the step (4) is used in the step (2). It can be produced by the method of returning to the degassing device of the above and circulating water between the steps (2) to (4).
Of the above steps, each step of producing hydrogen-containing water for drinking, that is, (1) purification step, (2) degassing step, (3) hydrogen dissolution step, and (4) sterilization step was closed. It is preferable to carry out the process continuously in the system because hydrogen-containing water for drinking having a high dissolved hydrogen concentration can be produced.

本発明の箱詰めキットは、上記スパウト付包装容器の内部に飲料用水素含有水が充填された飲料用水素含有水製品を、前記容器体の底部が上を向き、反対に前記キャップが下を向いた姿勢にて箱内に装填されている点を特徴とする。これは、謂わば製品の天地を逆転させて（逆さ姿勢にて）保管するものである。
前記箱詰めキットは通常、２個以上複数個、例えば６個、１２個、２４個、３０個、６０個の飲料用水素含有水製品を箱に装填したものとすることができる。 In the boxing kit of the present invention, a hydrogen-containing water product for drinking in which hydrogen-containing water for drinking is filled inside the packaging container with a spout, the bottom of the container body faces upward, and the cap faces downward. The feature is that it is loaded in the box in the same posture. This is, so to speak, to store the product upside down (upside down).
The boxing kit can usually be packed with two or more, for example, 6, 12, 24, 30, 60, hydrogen-containing water products for drinking.

上記箱詰めキットに用いる箱は、飲料用水素含有水製品を好ましくは複数個装填可能な大きさと耐久性を有するものであればよく、例えばボール紙や段ボールなどの厚紙（紙製）の箱が使用され、また樹脂製のコンテナ容器などであってもよい。箱の形状は通常直方体であり得、箱の大きさは装填する飲料用水素含有水製品の数に応じて適宜選択し得る。例えば箱に装填する飲料用水素含有水製品が１個の場合には、飲料用水素含有水製品の容器体が箱の周囲にちょうど当接する縦横の大きさを有する箱を用いることが好ましい。また複数個の飲料用水素含有水製品を装填する場合、これらを殆ど隙間なく同じ向きに一列又は複数列に整列させ、この整列姿勢する製品群とほぼ同じ縦横の大きさの箱に装填することが好ましい。なお、装填される飲料用水素含有水製品は、複数段重ねて装填されてもよいが、好ましくは重ねずに（一段にて）装填されることが望ましい。従って箱の高さは、飲料用水素含有水製品の高さより多少大きいものであればよい。
前記箱には、前記容器体の底部が上を向き、反対に前記キャップが下を向いた前記飲料用水素含有水製品の逆さ姿勢が保たれるように、個々の或いは複数の水素含有水製品を区切るように仕切り材を設けてもよいし、或いは、前記キャップの動きを拘束する姿勢保持手段を設けてもよい。 The box used in the boxing kit may preferably have a size and durability that allows a plurality of hydrogen-containing water products for drinking to be loaded, and for example, a cardboard (paper) box such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard is used. It may also be a resin container or the like. The shape of the box can usually be a rectangular parallelepiped, and the size of the box can be appropriately selected depending on the number of hydrogen-containing water products for drinking to be loaded. For example, when one drinking hydrogen-containing water product is loaded in the box, it is preferable to use a box having a vertical and horizontal size in which the container body of the drinking hydrogen-containing water product just contacts the periphery of the box. When loading a plurality of hydrogen-containing water products for beverages, arrange them in a single row or a plurality of rows in the same direction with almost no gaps, and load them in a box having almost the same vertical and horizontal sizes as the product group in this aligned posture. Is preferable. The hydrogen-containing water products for beverages to be loaded may be loaded in a plurality of stages, but it is preferably loaded without stacking (in one stage). Therefore, the height of the box may be slightly larger than the height of the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking.
Individual or multiple hydrogen-containing water products are placed in the box so that the bottom of the container is facing up and the cap is facing down to maintain the upside-down orientation of the drinking hydrogen-containing water product. A partition material may be provided so as to separate the caps, or a posture holding means for restraining the movement of the cap may be provided.

前記仕切り材は、前記箱と同じ材料或いは異なる材料にて構成され得、例えば前記容器体の周囲に当接するように設けられ得る。
前記仕切り材は、前記飲料用水素含有水製品の容器体の底部が上を向く姿勢を保つことができるような箱内の位置に設けられていればよいが、前記飲料用水素含有水製品の箱内からの取り出し易さなどを考慮すると、箱内に装填された容器体の底より高い部分には設けられていないことが好ましい。
また前記仕切り材は、個々の水素含有水製品を区切るように設けられ、或いは、複数個の、例えば水素含有水製品を２個ずつ区切るように設けられる。前記仕切り材が複数個の
水素含有水製品を区切るように設けられる場合、仕切り材で区切られた場所から水素含有水製品を一つ取り出し後においても、当該区切られた場所に残された別の水素含有水製品が、上述したように容器体の底部が上を向く姿勢を保つことができるという条件を考慮して該仕切り材は設けられ、例えば２個ずつ、あるいは３個ずつ区切るように設けられる。 The partition material may be made of the same material as the box or a different material, and may be provided so as to be in contact with the periphery of the container body, for example.
The partition material may be provided at a position inside the box so that the bottom of the container body of the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking can be maintained in an upward posture. Considering the ease of removal from the box, it is preferable that the container is not provided at a portion higher than the bottom of the container loaded in the box.
Further, the partition material is provided so as to separate individual hydrogen-containing water products, or is provided so as to separate a plurality of hydrogen-containing water products, for example, two hydrogen-containing water products. When the partition material is provided so as to separate a plurality of hydrogen-containing water products, another hydrogen-containing water product is left in the separated place even after one hydrogen-containing water product is taken out from the place separated by the partition material. The partition material is provided in consideration of the condition that the hydrogen-containing water product can maintain the posture in which the bottom of the container body faces upward as described above, and is provided so as to divide, for example, two or three.

前記姿勢保持手段としては、例えば前記キャップを上方より挿込むことにより、前記飲料用水素含有水製品の容器体の底部が上を向く姿勢を保つことができる、つまり容器体が倒れない姿勢を保つことができる構造のものであれば、如何なる構造のものでもよい。ただ、キャップを上方より挿込む構成の姿勢保持手段であるときは、その手段は上方へ容器体を引き抜きやすい構造のものであることがより好ましい。
前記姿勢保持手段としては、例えば剛性の相対的に高い面材、例えば厚肉クラフト紙や段ボールや樹脂シート、発泡スチロールボードに、キャップの挿込み孔を設けてなる態様が挙げられる。
該キャップの挿込み孔は、箱内に装填する水素含有水製品の数だけ、そして好ましくは、容器体の本体同士が軽く押圧し合うような間隔を保って、複数個設けられる。該キャップの挿込み孔としては、例えば切り込みが十字形状や放射状に形成された切り込み孔であって、その切り込み片がキャップ外周に設けられたツバやネジ山と係止する構造のものや、キャップの径よりわずかに大きい径の孔、若しくは更にくぼみのある孔で、孔の周縁部がキャップ外周に設けられるツバやネジ山と係止する構造のものが挙げられる。該挿込み孔が切り込み孔である場合、切り込みの周囲に折り曲げやすくなるような溝が設けられたり、或いは、切り込み孔の中心部においてキャップの径よりも小さい径の孔が設けられたりしてもよい。
またこうした挿込み孔が設けられた姿勢保持手段は、通常、箱内の底部辺りに設けられるが、その際、キャップの向きが垂直に保持されるように、そしてキャップの挿込みが容易となるように、キャップの先端が箱の底にほぼ当接するくらいに近接する高さに挿込み孔が設けられてなる態様であることが好ましい。これは、例えば姿勢保持手段が設けられた段ボールなどの厚紙の周囲を折り曲げ、該姿勢保持手段に高さを設けることにより実現できる。なお姿勢保持手段の材料として発泡スチロール製のボードを採用した場合には、ボードの厚みと挿込み孔の深さを調整することにより、キャップの向きを垂直に保持することができる。 As the posture-maintaining means, for example, by inserting the cap from above, the bottom of the container body of the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking can be maintained in an upward position, that is, the container body can be maintained in a posture in which the container body does not fall. Any structure may be used as long as it can be constructed. However, when the posture holding means has a structure in which the cap is inserted from above, it is more preferable that the means has a structure in which the container body can be easily pulled out upward.
Examples of the posture-maintaining means include a mode in which a face material having relatively high rigidity, for example, thick kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, a resin sheet, or a styrofoam board is provided with a cap insertion hole.
A plurality of insertion holes for the cap are provided as many as the number of hydrogen-containing water products to be loaded in the box, and preferably at intervals such that the main bodies of the container body are lightly pressed against each other. The insertion hole of the cap is, for example, a notch hole having a cross-shaped or radially formed notch, and a structure in which the notch piece is locked with a brim or a screw thread provided on the outer circumference of the cap, or a cap. A hole having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the hole, or a hole having a recess, and having a structure in which the peripheral edge of the hole is locked with a brim or a screw thread provided on the outer periphery of the cap. When the insertion hole is a notch hole, a groove for easy bending may be provided around the notch, or a hole having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cap may be provided at the center of the notch hole. Good.
Further, the posture holding means provided with such an insertion hole is usually provided near the bottom of the box, so that the orientation of the cap is held vertically and the cap can be easily inserted. As described above, it is preferable that the insertion hole is provided at a height close to the tip of the cap so as to be substantially in contact with the bottom of the box. This can be achieved, for example, by bending around a thick paper such as corrugated cardboard provided with the posture holding means and providing a height in the posture holding means. When a styrofoam board is used as the material for the posture holding means, the orientation of the cap can be held vertically by adjusting the thickness of the board and the depth of the insertion hole.

［箱詰めキット］
図１乃至図５に実施例１乃至実施例５の箱詰めキット１を示す。 [Boxing kit]
1 to 5 show the boxing kit 1 of Examples 1 to 5.

実施例１（図１）の箱詰めキットは、矩形の箱３とその中の適当枚数の仕切り材４からなり、箱詰めキット１の箱３に飲料用水素含有水製品２が、容器体２１の底部２１ａが上を向き、反対にキャップ２２が下を向いた逆さ姿勢を保つように、仕切り材４が設けられている。箱３及び仕切り材４は、いずれも段ボール製である。
仕切り材４は互いに直交する縦板と横板とからなり、箱３の内部空間を格子状に仕切る板材である。仕切り材４により形作られる個々の区域は、飲料用水素含有水製品が丁度よく収納される大きさの空間となっている。すなわち、仕切り材４は、飲料用水素含有水製品２の容器体２１の周囲に当接するように、そして仕切り材４が飲料用水素含有水製品２を個々（１個）の製品ごとに区切るように、格子状に設けられている。このように仕切り材４を配置することで、箱３に装填された任意の一の飲料用水素含有水製品２を取り出した場合において、箱３に装填された残りの飲料用水素含有水製品２はそのままその容器体２１の底部２１ａが上を向く姿勢を保つことができる。
また仕切り材４の高さは、容器体２１の底部２１ａよりも低い位置に設定されている。このように仕切り材４の高さを調整することで、箱３内に装填された水素含有水製品２が取り出し易さが向上する。 The boxing kit of Example 1 (FIG. 1) is composed of a rectangular box 3 and an appropriate number of partitioning members 4 in the rectangular box 3, and a hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking is placed in the box 3 of the boxing kit 1 at the bottom of the container 21. A partition member 4 is provided so that the cap 22 maintains an upside-down posture in which the 21a faces upward and the cap 22 faces downward. The box 3 and the partition material 4 are both made of corrugated cardboard.
The partitioning material 4 is composed of vertical plates and horizontal plates that are orthogonal to each other, and is a plate material that partitions the internal space of the box 3 in a grid pattern. The individual areas formed by the divider 4 are sized to accommodate hydrogen-containing water products for drinking. That is, the partition material 4 is in contact with the periphery of the container 21 of the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking, and the partition material 4 separates the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking for each individual (1 piece) product. It is provided in a grid pattern. By arranging the partition material 4 in this way, when any one hydrogen-containing water product for drinking 2 loaded in the box 3 is taken out, the remaining hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking loaded in the box 3 is taken out. Can maintain the posture in which the bottom portion 21a of the container body 21 faces upward as it is.
Further, the height of the partition member 4 is set to a position lower than the bottom portion 21a of the container body 21. By adjusting the height of the partition material 4 in this way, the ease of taking out the hydrogen-containing water product 2 loaded in the box 3 is improved.

実施例２（図２）の箱詰めキットは、仕切り材４が飲料用水素含有水製品２を横並びの左右２個ずつ（図２（ａ））又は縦並びの前後２個ずつ（図２（ｂ））区切るように設けられている以外には、実施例１と同様の構成である。
本実施例の箱詰めキットにおいて、仕切り材４を２個ずつ区切るように設けることにより、仕切り材４により形作られた区域内の一方の飲料用水素含有水製品２を取り出したとき、もう一方の飲料用水素含有水製品２は、仕切り材４により区切られた一の区域内で、その容器体２１の底部２１ａが上を向く斜め姿勢を保つことができ、これにより水素の放出が抑制される。しかも、仕切り材４の使用量を減らすことができるため、コストの削減につながる。 In the boxing kit of Example 2 (FIG. 2), the partition material 4 is two horizontally arranged hydrogen-containing water products 2 on the left and right (FIG. 2 (a)) or two vertically arranged before and after (FIG. 2 (b)). )) The configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the components are separated.
In the boxing kit of this embodiment, when the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking is taken out in the area formed by the partition material 4 by providing the partition material 4 so as to divide the partition material 4 into two pieces, the other beverage is used. The hydrogen-containing water product 2 can maintain an oblique posture in which the bottom portion 21a of the container body 21 faces upward within one area separated by the partition member 4, thereby suppressing the release of hydrogen. Moreover, since the amount of the partition material 4 used can be reduced, the cost can be reduced.

図３に示す実施例３の箱詰めキットは、上記仕切り材４の代わりに姿勢保持手段５が設けられた実施例である。箱３と同様、姿勢保持手段５はダンボール製の板材であって、その板材の表面に、前後左右に適当な間隔を保って設けられた適当数の挿し込み孔５ａから構成される。具体的には、姿勢保持手段５として、飲料用水素含有水製品２のキャップ２２を挿入することができる挿込み孔５ａが設けられ、該挿込み孔５ａは、放射状（五角形）に切り込み５ｂが設けられ、切り込みの周囲には折り曲げやすくなるように溝５ｃが設けられ、これにより、キャップ２２の挿入と引き抜きが容易となっている。また姿勢保持手段５の段ボール板は、その周囲５ｄが折り曲げられ、キャップ２２の長さ分のスペースが設けられている。
姿勢保持手段５は、１枚の段ボールに切り込みを入れそしてその周囲を折り曲げることで、容易に形成可能である。また、箱２内からの飲料用水素含有水製品２の容易な取り出しが可能である。 The boxing kit of Example 3 shown in FIG. 3 is an example in which the posture holding means 5 is provided instead of the partition member 4. Similar to the box 3, the posture holding means 5 is a corrugated cardboard plate material, and is composed of an appropriate number of insertion holes 5a provided on the surface of the plate material at appropriate intervals in the front-rear and left-right directions. Specifically, as the posture holding means 5, an insertion hole 5a into which the cap 22 of the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking can be inserted is provided, and the insertion hole 5a has radial (pentagonal) cuts 5b. A groove 5c is provided around the notch so that it can be easily bent, which facilitates insertion and removal of the cap 22. Further, the corrugated cardboard plate of the posture holding means 5 is bent around 5d to provide a space corresponding to the length of the cap 22.
The posture holding means 5 can be easily formed by making a notch in one piece of corrugated cardboard and bending the periphery thereof. In addition, the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking can be easily taken out from the box 2.

そして図４に示す実施例４の箱詰めキットは、仕切り材４と姿勢保持手段５の双方を採用した箱詰めキット１である。仕切り材４と姿勢保持手段５の双方を採用することにより、箱詰めキット１が輸送や保管時の移動中等において手荒に扱われた場合においても、飲料用水素含有水製品２の姿勢（容器体２１の底部２１ａが上を向き、反対に前記キャップ
２２が下を向いた逆さ姿勢）を保ちやすくなる。 The boxing kit of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is a boxing kit 1 that employs both the partition member 4 and the posture holding means 5. By adopting both the partition material 4 and the posture holding means 5, even when the boxing kit 1 is roughly handled during transportation or storage, the posture of the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking (container body 21). It becomes easier to maintain an upside-down posture in which the bottom portion 21a of the cap 22 faces upward and the cap 22 faces downward.

なお図５に示す実施例５の箱詰めキットは、実施例１の箱詰めキットの箱３の上面及び側面に、箱３内に飲料用水素含有水製品２が装填されていることを表示する標識７が設けられたことを示す例である。なお図を判り易いものとするため、図５において仕切り材４は省略されている。 In the boxing kit of Example 5 shown in FIG. 5, a sign 7 indicating that the hydrogen-containing water product 2 for drinking is loaded in the box 3 on the upper surface and the side surface of the box 3 of the boxing kit of Example 1. Is an example showing that is provided. The partition member 4 is omitted in FIG. 5 in order to make the figure easy to understand.

［保管状態の違いによる溶存水素濃度変化］
製造した飲料用水素含有水製品を、室温にてテーブル上に正常置き（比較例１：図５における６１１ａ又は６１１ｂ面をテーブルに接地させた姿勢）或いは逆さ置き（実施例５：キャップ２２がテーブルに接地し、容器体の底部２１ａが上を向く姿勢）にて保管した。
０日（製造直後）から９０日後（逆さ置きについては１８０日後）までの飲料用水素含有水の溶存水素濃度を測定した（試料数：各２）。製造直後からの溶存水素濃度の減少率（％）について表１に示す。
なお、本試験は、飲料用水素含有水の溶存水素濃度を１．４０ｐｐｍに調整し、充填してなる飲料用水素含有水製品を用いて行った。 [Changes in dissolved hydrogen concentration due to differences in storage conditions]
The produced hydrogen-containing water product for drinking is normally placed on a table at room temperature (Comparative Example 1: posture in which the 611a or 611b surface in FIG. 5 is grounded to the table) or placed upside down (Example 5: Cap 22 is a table). It was stored in a posture in which the bottom portion 21a of the container body was facing upward).
The dissolved hydrogen concentration of the hydrogen-containing water for drinking was measured from 0 day (immediately after production) to 90 days (180 days after upside down) (number of samples: 2 each). Table 1 shows the reduction rate (%) of the dissolved hydrogen concentration immediately after production.
This test was carried out using a hydrogen-containing water product for drinking in which the dissolved hydrogen concentration of the hydrogen-containing water for drinking was adjusted to 1.40 ppm and filled.

表１に示すように、正常置きに保管した比較例１の飲料用水素含有水製品は、製造直後からの溶存水素濃度の減少率が９０日経過後には３７．９％に達した。
一方、逆さ置きに保管した実施例５の飲料用水素含有水製品においては、９０日経過後においても減少率が２０．７％であり、比較例１と比べて比較的高い溶存水素濃度を維持しており、１５０日経過後にようやく比較例１と同程度の溶存水素濃度の減少率となった。
このように、本発明に従う、飲料用水素含有水製品を逆さ姿勢にて保管する方法により、飲料用水素含有水製品の溶存水素濃度を長期間高い値にて維持することが可能であった。 As shown in Table 1, the hydrogen-containing water product for beverages of Comparative Example 1 stored in a normal state showed a decrease rate of the dissolved hydrogen concentration of 37.9% immediately after 90 days.
On the other hand, in the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking of Example 5 stored upside down, the reduction rate was 20.7% even after 90 days had passed, and the dissolved hydrogen concentration was maintained relatively high as compared with Comparative Example 1. After 150 days, the rate of decrease in the dissolved hydrogen concentration was finally the same as that of Comparative Example 1.
As described above, by the method of storing the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking in an upside-down position according to the present invention, it was possible to maintain the dissolved hydrogen concentration of the hydrogen-containing water product for drinking at a high value for a long period of time.
