Description

本発明は、容器保持具及び包装製品に関する。 The present invention relates to container holders and packaging products.

飲料が充填された複数の容器を一列又は複数列で整列させて置いた容器群の上面（天面）及び側面、並びに下面（底面）を包み込むようにして包装することのできる紙製のマルチパック包装箱が使用されている。このようなマルチパック包装箱を使用することにより、複数個の缶ビールや缶ジュース等を１個の包装体にまとめて一度に容易に持ち運ぶことができるようになり、さらに、纏め売りの効果も相俟って、当該マルチパック用包装箱の使用が近年急速に拡大しつつある。 A paper multi-pack that can be wrapped by wrapping multiple containers filled with beverages arranged in one or more rows to cover the top, side, and bottom surfaces of a group of containers. Packaging boxes are used. By using such multi-pack packaging boxes, it becomes possible to easily carry multiple cans of beer, canned juice, etc. in one package, and it also has the effect of bulk selling. Combined with this, the use of the multi-pack packaging boxes has been rapidly expanding in recent years.

マルチパック包装箱は、１枚の板紙に切り込みを入れ、折り曲げることで形成され、一般には、容器群の上面を覆う天板、当該天板の対向する両端に連接され容器群の側面を覆う側板、当該側板に連接され容器群の底面を覆う底板を備え、側板が存在しない両端において、容器群を構成する一部の容器の側面が視認可能な開口部が形成されている。 A multi-pack packaging box is formed by cutting and bending a sheet of paperboard, and generally includes a top plate that covers the top surface of a group of containers, and side plates that are connected to opposite ends of the top plate and cover the sides of the group of containers. , a bottom plate connected to the side plate and covering the bottom surface of the container group, and openings through which the side surfaces of some of the containers constituting the container group are visible are formed at both ends where the side plate is not present.

一方で、容器群を包装する包装材の製造コストの低減及び省資源化等を目的として、飲料が充填された複数の容器を一列又は複数列で整列させて置いた容器群の上面のみを保持することのできる紙製の容器保持具が提案されている。 On the other hand, for the purpose of reducing manufacturing costs and resource conservation of packaging materials for packaging groups of containers, only the top surfaces of groups of containers filled with beverages are arranged in one or more rows are held. A container holder made of paper has been proposed.

このような紙製の容器保持具として、例えば、下部支持パネルと、下部支持パネルの上側に重なる上部支持パネルと、上部支持パネルに第１折り線により連結した側部パネルと、上部支持パネルに第２折り線により連結した端部パネルと、隣接する前記の側部パネル及び端部パネルに各折り線により連結したひだ板パネルとを備え、下部支持パネル及び上部支持パネルには、容器の上部が挿入され得る複数の保持孔が形成され、各保持孔の外周には、容器の上部を係止可能な複数の支持タブが形成されているものが提案されている（特許文献１参照）。 Such a paper container holder includes, for example, a lower support panel, an upper support panel overlapping the lower support panel, a side panel connected to the upper support panel by a first fold line, and a side panel connected to the upper support panel by a first fold line. an end panel connected by a second fold line, and a pleated panel connected to the adjacent side panel and end panel by respective fold lines, the lower support panel and the upper support panel each having an upper part of the container. It has been proposed that a plurality of holding holes are formed into which a container can be inserted, and a plurality of support tabs are formed on the outer periphery of each holding hole to which the upper part of the container can be locked (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献１に開示されている容器保持具においては、容器の上部のみが保持され、底部が保持されていない。このような容器保持具に容器を保持させ、鉛直方向に持ち上げると、容器の重量により、各保持孔の支持タブには下方の力がかかることになる。この容器保持具を持ち上げて運搬する際に、例えば、一般的な取扱いで多く見られる前後方向に揺動されると、遠心力で容器の下部が外側に広がり、支持タブから容器の上部から外れやすくなり、容器が容器保持具から脱落するおそれがある。特に各容器に結露が生じている場合には、容器が容器保持具からより脱落しやすくなるおそれがある。 In the container holder disclosed in Patent Document 1, only the top of the container is held, and the bottom is not held. When such a container holder holds a container and lifts it vertically, the weight of the container applies a downward force to the support tabs of each holding hole. When lifting and transporting this container holder, for example, if it is rocked back and forth, which is often the case during general handling, the lower part of the container will expand outwards due to centrifugal force, and the upper part of the container will separate from the support tab. This may cause the container to fall off from the container holder. Particularly when each container has condensation, there is a risk that the container will more easily fall off the container holder.

上記課題に鑑みて、本発明は、複数の容器をまとめて保持し、各容器の脱落を抑制可能な容器保持具及び包装製品を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a container holder and a packaging product that can hold a plurality of containers together and prevent each container from falling off.

The second side surface portion 32 is connected to the first bottom plate 11 via a third fold line 43. The third fold line 43 faces the first fold line 41 with the first bottom plate 11 in between. The second bottom plate 12 is connected to the second side surface portion 32 via a fourth fold line 44 . The fourth fold line 44 faces the third fold line 43 with the second side surface portion 32 in between. The third side surface portion 33 is connected to the second bottom plate 12 via the sixth fold line 46. The sixth fold line 46 faces the fourth fold line 44 with the second bottom plate 12 in between. The second top plate 22 is connected to the third side surface portion 33 via a seventh fold line 47. The seventh fold line 47 faces the sixth fold line 46 with the third side surface portion 33 in between. The fourth side surface portion 34 is connected to the first top plate 21 via an eighth fold line 48. The eighth fold line 48 faces the second fold line 42 with the first top plate 21 in between. A fifth fold line 45 is provided between the third fold line 43 and the fourth fold line 44 of the second side surface portion 32, allowing the second side surface portion 32 to be folded in two.

第４側面部３４の端縁部には、２つの係止爪６が連接されており、第３折り線４３及び第４折り線４４に重なるように、２つの係止爪６のそれぞれを挿入可能な２つの係止孔７１及び２つの切込線７２が形成されている。後述するようにして図１Ａに示す容器保持具１を組み立て、各係止爪６を各係止孔７１から挿入し、切込線７２に挿通することで、第１上面板２１及び第２上面板２２と第１底面板１１及び第２底面板１２とを係合することができる。 Two locking claws 6 are connected to the edge of the fourth side surface portion 34, and each of the two locking claws 6 is inserted so as to overlap the third fold line 43 and the fourth fold line 44. Two possible locking holes 71 and two cutting lines 72 are formed. By assembling the container holder 1 shown in FIG. 1A as described later, inserting each locking pawl 6 from each locking hole 71 and passing through the cut line 72, the first upper surface plate 21 and the second upper surface plate 21 are assembled. The face plate 22 can be engaged with the first bottom plate 11 and the second bottom plate 12.

第１底面板１１には、１列で並ぶ３個の容器６０を保持するための３個の第１保持孔１１１が１列で３個並ぶように形成されている。第１保持孔１１１の直径は、当該第１保持孔１１１に挿入される容器６０の口部６１に取り付けられているキャップ６６の最大外径以上であればよく、当該最大外径よりわずかに大きい程度であるのが好ましい。具体的には、第１保持孔１１１の直径は、キャップ６６の最大外径～最大外径＋５ｍｍ程度であればよい。第１保持孔１１１に容器６０の上部を挿入することで、第１保持孔１１１の周縁に設けられている複数の第１係止部１１２が、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３をキャップ６６側に向けるようにして、第１保持孔１１１の周縁に沿って位置する第１基部１１４から折れ曲がる。第１保持孔１１１の直径が、キャップ６６の最大外径よりわずかに大きい程度（例えば当該最大外径＋５ｍｍ以下程度）であれば、第１保持孔１１１に容器６０の上部を挿入したときに、第１保持孔１１１の周縁（第１係止部１１２の第１基部１１４）を容器６０の首部６２に位置させることができ、折れ曲がった第１係止部１１２を首部６２に面接触させて先端部１１３をキャップ６６と首部６２との境界に位置する段差に当接させることができる。このような状態で容器保持具１に各容器６０が保持されていれば、容器保持具１を持ち上げたときに、すべての第１係止部１１２をキャップ６６と首部６２との境界に位置する段差に確実に当接・係止させることができるため、容器６０の脱落を抑制することができる。一方で、第１保持孔１１１の直径が、キャップ６６の最大外径よりもはるかに大きいと、第１保持孔１１１に容器６０の上部を挿入したときに、第１保持孔１１１の周縁（第１係止部１１２の第１基部１１４）が容器６０の肩部６３に位置してしまい、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３は上記段差に当接しない。この状態の容器保持具１を持ち上げたときに、少なくとも一部の第１係止部１１２が容器６０のキャップ６６と首部６２との境界に位置する段差に当接・係止しないことや、当接した後に当該段差から外れることがあるため、容器６０の脱落が生じるおそれがある。 Three first holding holes 111 for holding three containers 60 lined up in one row are formed in the first bottom plate 11 so that three first holding holes 111 are lined up in one row. The diameter of the first holding hole 111 may be at least the maximum outer diameter of the cap 66 attached to the mouth 61 of the container 60 inserted into the first holding hole 111, and is slightly larger than the maximum outer diameter. It is preferable that the amount is within a certain range. Specifically, the diameter of the first holding hole 111 may be approximately from the maximum outer diameter of the cap 66 to the maximum outer diameter + 5 mm. By inserting the upper part of the container 60 into the first holding hole 111, the plurality of first locking parts 112 provided on the periphery of the first holding hole 111 lock the tip part 113 of the first locking part 112. It is bent from the first base 114 located along the periphery of the first holding hole 111 so as to face toward the 66 side. If the diameter of the first holding hole 111 is slightly larger than the maximum outer diameter of the cap 66 (for example, about 5 mm or less than the maximum outer diameter), when the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the first holding hole 111, The peripheral edge of the first holding hole 111 (the first base 114 of the first locking part 112) can be positioned on the neck 62 of the container 60, and the bent first locking part 112 is brought into surface contact with the neck 62, and the tip The portion 113 can be brought into contact with a step located at the boundary between the cap 66 and the neck portion 62. If each container 60 is held by the container holder 1 in this state, when the container holder 1 is lifted, all the first locking parts 112 will be located at the boundary between the cap 66 and the neck part 62. Since the container 60 can be reliably brought into contact with and locked to the step, it is possible to prevent the container 60 from falling off. On the other hand, if the diameter of the first holding hole 111 is much larger than the maximum outer diameter of the cap 66, when the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the first holding hole 111, the periphery of the first holding hole 111 (the first The first base portion 114) of the first locking portion 112 is located on the shoulder portion 63 of the container 60, and the tip portion 113 of the first locking portion 112 does not come into contact with the step. When the container holder 1 in this state is lifted, at least some of the first locking portions 112 may not contact or lock with the step located at the boundary between the cap 66 and the neck portion 62 of the container 60; Since the container 60 may come off the step after coming into contact with it, there is a risk that the container 60 will fall off.

第２底面板１２には、１列で並ぶ３個の容器６０を保持するための３個の第２保持孔１２１が１列で３個並ぶように形成されている。第２保持孔１２１の直径は、第２保持孔１２１に挿入される容器６０の胴部６４の外径よりも小さく、かつ第１保持孔１１１の直径よりも１～１０％程度大きければよい。好ましくは、第２保持孔１２１の直径は、第１保持孔１１１の直径よりも３～８％程度大きければよい。後述するように、第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１には、それぞれの周縁に複数の第１係止部１１２及び第２係止部１２２が形成されている。複数の第１係止部１１２は、各第１基部１１４を第１保持孔１１１の周縁に位置させ、先端部１１３を第１保持孔１１１の中心に向かわせるようにして放射状に形成されており、複数の第２係止部１２２は、各第２基部１２４を第２保持孔１２１の周縁に位置させ、先端部１２３を第２保持孔１２１の中心に向かわせるようにして放射状に形成されている。第１保持孔１１１の周縁は、複数の第１係止部１１２の第１基部１１４を含む略円により規定され、第２保持孔１２１の周縁は、複数の第２係止部１２２の第２基部１２４を含む略円により規定される。第１保持孔１１１の直径は、第１保持孔１１１の周縁を規定する上記略円の直径として定義され、第２保持孔１２１の直径は、第２保持孔１２１の周縁を規定する上記略円の直径として定義される。 Three second holding holes 121 for holding three containers 60 lined up in one row are formed in the second bottom plate 12 so that three second holding holes 121 are lined up in one row. The diameter of the second holding hole 121 may be smaller than the outer diameter of the body 64 of the container 60 inserted into the second holding hole 121 and larger than the diameter of the first holding hole 111 by about 1 to 10%. Preferably, the diameter of the second holding hole 121 is approximately 3 to 8% larger than the diameter of the first holding hole 111. As described later, a plurality of first locking portions 112 and a plurality of second locking portions 122 are formed on the respective peripheral edges of the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121. The plurality of first locking parts 112 are formed radially such that each first base part 114 is located at the periphery of the first holding hole 111 and the tip part 113 is directed toward the center of the first holding hole 111. , the plurality of second locking parts 122 are formed radially such that each second base part 124 is located at the periphery of the second holding hole 121 and the tip part 123 is directed toward the center of the second holding hole 121. There is. The circumference of the first holding hole 111 is defined by a substantially circle that includes the first bases 114 of the plurality of first locking parts 112, and the circumference of the second holding hole 121 is defined by the second base part 114 of the plurality of second locking parts 122. It is defined by a substantially circle that includes the base 124. The diameter of the first holding hole 111 is defined as the diameter of the above-mentioned approximate circle that defines the periphery of the first holding hole 111, and the diameter of the second holding hole 121 is defined as the diameter of the above-mentioned approximate circle that defines the periphery of the second holding hole 121. is defined as the diameter of

本実施形態において、第５折り線４５に沿って第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第４折り線４４に沿って第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねる。このとき、第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１は、互いの中心が実質的に一致するように第１底面板１１及び第２底面板１２に形成されている（図１Ｄ参照）。なお、第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１の互いの中心が実質的に一致するとは、第１底面板１１及び第２底面板１２が互いに折り重なった状態において、第１保持孔１１１の周縁を規定する上記略円が第２保持孔１２１の周縁を規定する上記略円内に位置する程度に第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１の互いの中心がずれていることを許容する趣旨であり、第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１の互いの中心間の長さが第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１の直径の差以内であればよい。 In this embodiment, the second side surface portion 32 is folded in two along the fifth fold line 45, and the second bottom plate 12 is folded over the first bottom plate 11 along the fourth fold line 44. At this time, the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 are formed in the first bottom plate 11 and the second bottom plate 12 so that their centers substantially coincide with each other (see FIG. 1D). Note that the fact that the centers of the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 substantially coincide with each other means that the centers of the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 substantially coincide with each other when the periphery of the first holding hole 111 is The purpose is to allow the centers of the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 to be offset from each other to such an extent that the above-mentioned approximate circle that defines the periphery of the second holding hole 121 is located within the above-mentioned approximate circle that defines the periphery of the second holding hole 121. The length between the centers of the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 may be within the difference in diameter between the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121.

第１保持孔１１１の周縁には、当該第１保持孔１１１に挿入される容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に当接・係止可能な複数の第１係止部１１２が所定の間隔を有して形成されている。複数の第１係止部１１２の形状は略台形状である。複数の第１係止部１１２は、それぞれの先端部１１３を第１保持孔１１１の中心に向かわせるように放射状に形成されている（図１Ｂ参照）。第１保持孔に容器６０の上部が挿入されることで、第１係止部１１２が容器６０第１保持孔１１１の周縁に沿って位置する第１基部１１４から折れ曲がり、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３が容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に当接・係止することで、容器６０を保持することが可能となる。 At the periphery of the first holding hole 111, there are a plurality of first locking parts 112 that can abut and lock on the step located near the top of the neck 62 of the container 60 inserted into the first holding hole 111. They are formed at predetermined intervals. The shape of the plurality of first locking portions 112 is approximately trapezoidal. The plurality of first locking portions 112 are formed radially so that each tip portion 113 faces the center of the first holding hole 111 (see FIG. 1B). When the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the first holding hole, the first locking portion 112 is bent from the first base portion 114 located along the periphery of the first holding hole 111 of the container 60, and the first locking portion 112 The container 60 can be held by the distal end 113 of the container 60 coming into contact with and engaging with the step located near the top of the neck 62 of the container 60.

第２保持孔１２１の周縁には、複数の第２係止部１２２が所定の間隔を有して形成されている。複数の第２係止部１２２の形状は略台形状である。複数の第２係止部１２２は、それぞれの先端部１２３を第２保持孔１２１の中心に向かわせるようにして放射状に形成されている（図１Ｃ参照）。第５折り線４５に沿って第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第４折り線４４に沿って第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねた状態で相互に重なる第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１に容器６０の上部が挿入されたときに、第２係止部１２２は、第２保持孔１２１の周縁に沿って位置する第２基部１２４から折れ曲がり、第２係止部１２２の少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なる。容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に先端部１１３が当接・係止することで容器６０を保持する第１係止部１１２に、第２係止部１２２の少なくとも一部が重なることで、まとめて保持した複数の容器６０が脱落するのを抑制することができる。第２係止部１２２の少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なり、第２係止部１２２が第１係止部１１２を外側から押さえ付けることで、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３が容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差から外れにくくなっているものと推察される。 A plurality of second locking portions 122 are formed on the periphery of the second holding hole 121 at predetermined intervals. The shape of the plurality of second locking portions 122 is approximately trapezoidal. The plurality of second locking portions 122 are formed radially so that each tip portion 123 faces the center of the second holding hole 121 (see FIG. 1C). The second side surface portion 32 is folded in two along the fifth fold line 45, and the second bottom plate 12 is folded over the first bottom plate 11 along the fourth fold line 44, and the first When the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121, the second locking part 122 is bent from the second base part 124 located along the periphery of the second holding hole 121, and At least a portion of the locking portion 122 overlaps the first locking portion 112. At least a portion of the second locking portion 122 is attached to the first locking portion 112 that holds the container 60 by the tip portion 113 coming into contact with and locking the step located near the top of the neck portion 62 of the container 60. By overlapping, it is possible to suppress the plurality of containers 60 held together from falling off. At least a part of the second locking part 122 overlaps the first locking part 112, and the second locking part 122 presses the first locking part 112 from the outside, so that the tip of the first locking part 112 113 is presumably difficult to come off from the step located near the top of the neck 62 of the container 60.

本実施形態において、第２係止部１２２は、その少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なるように第２保持孔１２１の周縁に設けられていればよい。例えば、図４Ａ及び図５Ａに示すように、第５折り線４５に沿って第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第４折り線４４に沿って第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねた状態で相互に重なる第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１に容器６０の上部が挿入されたときに、第２係止部１２２は、隣接する２つの第１係止部１１２の間に位置し、当該２つの第１係止部１１２に重なっていればよい。換言すれば、第１係止孔１１１の周縁を規定する円の中心と第２係止孔１２１の周縁を規定する円の中心とを一致させたときに、各第１係止部１１２の平面視における幾何学的中心の角度座標値と各第２係止部１２２の平面視における幾何学的中心の角度座標値とは、互いに異なっていればよく、各第２係止部１２２の角度座標値は、それに隣接する２つの第１係止部１１２の角度座標値の平均値であるのが好ましい。１つの第２係止部１２２が２つの第１係止部１１２に重なることで、容器６０の保持力を高めることができ、容器６０を確実に保持することができる。 In this embodiment, the second locking portion 122 may be provided at the periphery of the second holding hole 121 so that at least a portion thereof overlaps the first locking portion 112 . For example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A, the second side surface portion 32 is folded in two along the fifth fold line 45, and the second bottom plate 12 is folded over the first bottom plate along the fourth fold line 44. When the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 which overlap with each other in the folded state of 112 and overlap the two first locking parts 112. In other words, when the center of the circle defining the periphery of the first locking hole 111 and the center of the circle defining the periphery of the second locking hole 121 are aligned, the plane of each first locking portion 112 The angular coordinate value of the geometrical center in the visual field and the angular coordinate value of the geometrical center in the planar view of each second locking part 122 only need to be different from each other, and the angular coordinate value of each second locking part 122 The value is preferably the average value of the angular coordinate values of two adjacent first locking portions 112. By overlapping one second locking portion 122 with two first locking portions 112, the holding force of the container 60 can be increased, and the container 60 can be held reliably.

図４Ａに示す態様においては、第１係止部１１２及び第２係止部１２２のそれぞれの先端部１１３，１２３は容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に当接している。第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３は、隣接する２つの第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３の間に入り込むようにして上記段差に当接している。一方で、図５Ａに示す態様においては、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３は容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に当接しているが、第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３は容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に当接していない。図４Ａに示す態様のように、第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３も容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置する上記段差に当接していることで、容器６０の保持力を効果的に高めることができる。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, the respective tip ends 113 and 123 of the first locking part 112 and the second locking part 122 are in contact with the step located near the top of the neck 62 of the container 60. The tip portion 123 of the second locking portion 122 comes into contact with the step so as to fit between the tip portions 113 of two adjacent first locking portions 112 . On the other hand, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5A, the tip 113 of the first locking part 112 is in contact with the step located near the top of the neck 62 of the container 60, but the tip of the second locking part 122 The portion 123 does not come into contact with the step located near the top of the neck portion 62 of the container 60. As in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, the distal end portion 123 of the second locking portion 122 is also in contact with the step located near the top of the neck portion 62 of the container 60, thereby effectively increasing the holding force of the container 60. can be increased.

また、図６に示すように、第５折り線４５に沿って第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第４折り線４４に沿って第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねた状態で相互に重なる第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１に容器６０の上部が挿入されたときに、１つの第２係止部１２２は、１つの第１係止部１１２に重なるが、他の第１係止部１１２には重なっていなくてもよい。換言すれば、第１係止孔１１１の周縁を規定する円の中心と第２係止孔１２１の周縁を規定する円の中心とを一致させたときに、各第２係止部１２２の平面視における幾何学的中心の角度座標値は、各第２係止部１２２が重なる各第１係止部１１２の平面視における幾何学的中心の角度座標値と実質的に同一であればよい。このような態様であることで、容器６０の保持力を高めることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the second side surface portion 32 is folded in two along the fifth fold line 45, and the second bottom plate 12 is folded into the first bottom plate 11 along the fourth fold line 44. When the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 which overlap each other in a stacked state, one second locking part 122 overlaps with one first locking part 112. However, it does not need to overlap with other first locking parts 112. In other words, when the center of the circle that defines the periphery of the first locking hole 111 and the center of the circle that defines the periphery of the second locking hole 121 are aligned, the plane of each second locking portion 122 The angular coordinate value of the geometric center in view may be substantially the same as the angular coordinate value of the geometric center in plan view of each first locking portion 112 overlapping each second locking portion 122 . With such an aspect, the holding power of the container 60 can be increased.

１列で並ぶｎ個の容器６０が容器保持具１にて保持された包装製品を、容器保持具１を把持して容器６０の列方向に沿って揺動させたとき、例えば、容器保持具１を上から把持して腕を前後に振ったとき、第１揺動方向Ｄ１の慣性力が容器６０に働く。最高点に達した際、すなわち、揺動方向（前後方向）が第１揺動方向Ｄ１から第２揺動方向Ｄ２に切り替わり、容器保持具１が第２揺動方向Ｄ２に動こうとする際、容器６０は慣性力によって第１揺動方向Ｄ１に動こうとする。そのため、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３Ｄには、上流側に位置する先端部１１３Ｕに比して大きな力が働く（図３参照）。それにより、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２が捲り下がるように変形しやすくなり、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３Ｄが、上流側に位置する第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３Ｕに比べて容器６０の首部６２近傍に位置する上記段差から外れやすくなる。本実施形態においては、第２係止部１２２が第１係止部１１２を外側から押さえ付けるように設けられているため、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２が捲り下がるように変形し、その先端部１１３Ｄが容器６０の首部６２近傍に位置する上記段差から外れてしまうのを抑制することができる。図４Ａ及び図５Ａに示す態様においては、第２係止部１２２の外郭線１２５が、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３Ｄにおいて、第１係止部１１２の外郭線１１５と交差するため（図４Ｂ及び図５Ｂ参照）、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２が変形し、その先端部１１３Ｄが容器６０の首部６２近傍に位置する上記段差から外れてしまうのを、より効果的に抑制することができる。特に、図４Ａに示す態様においては、第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３が容器６０の首部６２近傍に位置する上記段差に当接・係止していることで、上記第１係止部１１２が変形し、上記段差から外れてしまうのを、さらに効果的に抑制することができる。また、図６に示す態様においても同様に、第２係止部１２２が、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３Ｄを外側から押さえ付けているため、第２揺動方向Ｄ２の下流側に位置する第１係止部１１２が変形し、その先端部１１３Ｄが容器６０の首部６２近傍に位置する上記段差から外れてしまうのを、より効果的に抑制することができる。 When a packaged product in which n containers 60 arranged in a row are held by the container holder 1 is held by the container holder 1 and swung along the row direction of the containers 60, for example, the container holder 1 from above and swinging the arm back and forth, an inertial force in the first swing direction D1 acts on the container 60. When the highest point is reached, that is, when the swing direction (back and forth direction) switches from the first swing direction D1 to the second swing direction D2, and the container holder 1 attempts to move in the second swing direction D2. , the container 60 tries to move in the first swing direction D1 due to inertia force. Therefore, a larger force acts on the distal end portion 113D of the first locking portion 112 located on the downstream side in the second swing direction D2 than on the distal end portion 113U located on the upstream side (see FIG. 3). As a result, the first locking portion 112 located on the downstream side in the second swing direction D2 is easily deformed so as to be rolled up, and the tip portion 113D of the first locking portion 112 is It is easier to disengage from the step located near the neck 62 of the container 60 than from the tip 113U of the locking portion 112. In this embodiment, since the second locking part 122 is provided to press down the first locking part 112 from the outside, the first locking part 112 located on the downstream side in the second swing direction D2 It is possible to prevent the tip portion 113D from being deformed so as to be rolled up and coming off from the step located near the neck portion 62 of the container 60. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A, the outline 125 of the second locking portion 122 is located at the tip portion 113D of the first locking portion 112 located downstream in the second swing direction D2. Since it intersects with the outline line 115 of the stopper 112 (see FIGS. 4B and 5B), the first stopper 112 located on the downstream side in the second swing direction D2 is deformed, and its tip 113D crosses the outer line 115 of the container 60. It is possible to more effectively prevent it from falling off the step located near the neck portion 62. In particular, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, the distal end portion 123 of the second locking portion 122 contacts and locks the step located near the neck portion 62 of the container 60, so that the first locking portion 112 can be further effectively prevented from deforming and coming off the step. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the second locking portion 122 presses down the tip portion 113D of the first locking portion 112 located downstream in the second swing direction D2 from the outside. , more effectively prevents the first locking portion 112 located on the downstream side in the second swing direction D2 from being deformed and its tip portion 113D coming off the step located near the neck portion 62 of the container 60. Can be suppressed.

図４Ｂ及び図５Ｂに示す態様において、相互に重なる第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１２１に容器６０の上部が挿入され、第１係止部１１２が第１基部１１４に沿って折れ曲がり、第２係止部１２２が第２基部１２４に沿って折れ曲がった状態において、第１係止部１１２の外郭線１１５と第２係止部１２２の外郭線１２５との交点Ｐが、第１係止部１１２の第１基部１１４及び先端部１１３の間の長さの中点Ｍよりも先端部１１３側に位置することが好ましい。交点Ｐが中点Ｍよりも先端部１１３側に位置することで、第２係止部１２２が第１係止部１１２を外側から押さえ付ける作用が相対的に大きくなるため、複数の容器６０をまとめて保持する容器保持具１を持ち運ぶ際に、第１係止部１１１の先端部１１３が容器６０の首部６２の近傍から外れにくくなり、容器６０が脱落するのを抑制することができる。 In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4B and 5B, the upper part of the container 60 is inserted into the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 that overlap with each other, the first locking part 112 is bent along the first base part 114, and the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 121 overlap each other. In the state where the second locking part 122 is bent along the second base 124, the intersection P of the outline 115 of the first locking part 112 and the outline 125 of the second locking part 122 is the first locking part. 112 is preferably located closer to the tip 113 than the midpoint M of the length between the first base 114 and the tip 113. Since the intersection point P is located closer to the tip end 113 than the midpoint M, the action of the second locking part 122 to press down the first locking part 112 from the outside becomes relatively large, so that the plurality of containers 60 can be When carrying the container holder 1 that is held together, the tip 113 of the first locking part 111 becomes difficult to come off from the vicinity of the neck 62 of the container 60, and the container 60 can be prevented from falling off.

図１Ａに示すように、各第１保持孔１１１の周縁には、第１保持孔１１１の径方向に拡がる第１窓孔部１１６が設けられ、各第２保持孔１２１の周縁には、第２保持孔１２１の径方向に拡がる第２窓孔部１２６が設けられていてもよい。第１窓孔部１１６及び第２窓孔部１２６は、第５折り線４５に沿って第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第４折り線４４に沿って第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねたときに、互いに重なるように第１保持孔１１１の周縁及び第２保持孔１２１の周縁に設けられている。このように設けられることで、容器保持具１に容器６０を保持した際に、容器６０の首部６２に印字されている印字部６２１が第１窓孔部１１６を介して視認可能となる（図７参照）。 As shown in FIG. 1A, the periphery of each first holding hole 111 is provided with a first window hole 116 that expands in the radial direction of the first holding hole 111, and the periphery of each second holding hole 121 is provided with a first window hole 116 that extends in the radial direction of the first holding hole 111. A second window hole portion 126 expanding in the radial direction of the second holding hole 121 may be provided. The first window hole section 116 and the second window hole section 126 are formed by folding the second side surface section 32 in two along the fifth fold line 45 and folding the second bottom plate 12 into two along the fourth fold line 44. They are provided on the periphery of the first holding hole 111 and on the periphery of the second holding hole 121 so as to overlap with each other when the first bottom plate 11 is folded up. By being provided in this way, when the container 60 is held in the container holder 1, the printed portion 621 printed on the neck portion 62 of the container 60 becomes visible through the first window hole portion 116 (Fig. (see 7).

第１窓孔部１１６及び第２窓孔部１２６の幅Ｗ_１１６，Ｗ_１２６は、容器６０の首部６２にある印字部６２１が視認可能な程度であればよいが、第２窓孔部１２６の幅Ｗ_１２６が、第１窓孔部１１６の幅Ｗ_１１６よりも大きいのが好ましい。この場合において、第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねたときに、第１窓孔部１１６の全体が第２窓孔部１２６に重なるように、第１窓孔部１１６及び第２窓孔部１２６が第１係止孔１１１及び第２係止孔１２１に設けられていればよい。第２窓孔部１２６の幅Ｗ_１２６が、第１窓孔部１１６の幅Ｗ_１１６よりも小さいと、第２底面板１２を第１底面板１１に折り重ねたときに、第１窓孔部１１６の全幅で容器保持具１の側面に開口しなくなる。そうすると、容器６０の印字部６２１の視認可能な範囲が狭くなってしまい、当該印字部６２１を視認しにくくなってしまうおそれがある。また、図１Ａに示すように、第１窓孔部１１６は、第１折り線４１または第３折り線４３を跨ぐように設けられ、第２窓孔部１２６は、第４折り線４４または第６折り線４６を跨ぐように設けられていてもよい。このように設けられることで、容器保持具１に保持された容器６０の印字部６２１を容器保持具１の側面から視認可能となる（図７参照）。 The widths W ₁₁₆ and W ₁₂₆ of the first window hole portion 116 and the second window hole portion 126 may be such that the printed portion 621 on the neck portion 62 of the container 60 is visible. Preferably, the width W ₁₂₆ is greater than the width W ₁₁₆ of the first window portion 116. In this case, when the second bottom plate 12 is folded over the first bottom plate 11, the first window hole part 116 and the It is sufficient that the two window hole portions 126 are provided in the first locking hole 111 and the second locking hole 121. If the width W ₁₂₆ of the second window hole portion 126 is smaller than the width W ₁₁₆ of the first window hole portion 116, when the second bottom plate 12 is folded over the first bottom plate 11, the first window hole portion The entire width of 116 is no longer open to the side surface of the container holder 1. In this case, the visible range of the printed portion 621 of the container 60 becomes narrow, and there is a possibility that the printed portion 621 becomes difficult to visually recognize. Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, the first window hole portion 116 is provided so as to straddle the first fold line 41 or the third fold line 43, and the second window hole portion 126 is provided so as to straddle the fourth fold line 44 or the third fold line 43. It may be provided so as to straddle the six-fold line 46. By providing in this way, the printed portion 621 of the container 60 held by the container holder 1 can be visually recognized from the side of the container holder 1 (see FIG. 7).

図８は、本実施形態における容器保持具の概略構成を示す部分拡大側面図である。図８に示すように、第１底面板１１及び第２底面板１２を折り重ね、第１側面部３１及び第３側面部３３を折り重ね、第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第１上面板２１及び第２上面板２２を折り重ねて包装製品としたときに、第２上面板２２における第７折り線４７に対向する端部４９が、第２側面部３２に当接してもよい。端部４９が、第２側面部３２に当接されることで、第２側面部３２側から又は第１側面部３１及び第３側面部３３側からほぼ水平方向に衝撃を受けたとしても、容器保持具１が変形するのを抑制することができる。 FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged side view showing the schematic configuration of the container holder in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the first bottom plate 11 and the second bottom plate 12 are folded up, the first side face part 31 and the third side face part 33 are folded up, the second side face part 32 is folded in half, and the second bottom face plate 12 is folded up. When the first top plate 21 and the second top plate 22 are folded to form a packaged product, even if the end 49 of the second top plate 22 facing the seventh fold line 47 comes into contact with the second side surface 32. good. Even if the end portion 49 receives an impact in a substantially horizontal direction from the second side surface portion 32 side or from the first side surface portion 31 and the third side surface portion 33 side by coming into contact with the second side surface portion 32, Deformation of the container holder 1 can be suppressed.

図１Ａに示すように、第１上面板２１の第２折り線４２から第８折り線４８までの長さＬ１は、第１底面部の第３折り線４３から第１折り線４１までの長さＬ２よりも長いことが好ましい。上記長さＬ１が上記長さＬ２よりも長いことで、各係止爪６を各係止孔７１及び切込線７２に挿入し、第１上面板２１及び第２上面板２２と第１底面板１１及び第２底面板１２とを係合した容器保持具１の開口端側から見たときに、容器保持具１の形状が略逆台形状となる（図９参照）。容器保持具１が略逆台形状であることで、第１上面板２１上に、容器保持具１に複数の容器６０が保持された包装製品を載置することで、当該包装製品を２段以上に安定的に積み上げることができる。なお、上記長さＬ１と長さＬ２との関係は、第１上面板２１上を水平面とすることができるような関係であればよく、長さＬ１は、長さＬ２よりも短くてもよいし、長さＬ２と等しくてもよい。すなわち、容器保持具１の開口端側から見た形状は、略台形状であってもよいし、略方形状であってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 1A, the length L1 from the second fold line 42 to the eighth fold line 48 of the first top plate 21 is the length L1 from the third fold line 43 to the first fold line 41 of the first bottom surface. It is preferable that the length is longer than L2. Since the length L1 is longer than the length L2, each locking pawl 6 can be inserted into each locking hole 71 and the cut line 72, and the first top plate 21, the second top plate 22 and the first bottom When viewed from the open end side of the container holder 1 in which the face plate 11 and the second bottom plate 12 are engaged, the shape of the container holder 1 is approximately an inverted trapezoid (see FIG. 9). Since the container holder 1 has a substantially inverted trapezoidal shape, by placing a packaged product in which a plurality of containers 60 are held on the container holder 1 on the first top plate 21, the packaged product can be stacked in two stages. It is possible to stably accumulate more than that. Note that the relationship between the length L1 and the length L2 may be such that the top of the first top plate 21 can be made a horizontal surface, and the length L1 may be shorter than the length L2. However, it may be equal to the length L2. That is, the shape of the container holder 1 viewed from the open end side may be approximately trapezoidal or approximately rectangular.

図１０は、本実施形態に係る容器保持具の他の態様の概略構成を示す展開図であり、図１１は、図１０に示す容器保持具を組み立て、容器を保持した状態の概略構成を示す斜視図である。
図１０に示すように、容器保持具１は、第９折り線５０を介して第４側面部３４に連接される広告部８をさらに備えていてもよい。広告部８を設けることで、容器６０図１Ａに示す態様に比べて、容器保持具１における広告面積を増大させることができるとともに、広告情報の視認容易性を向上させ得る。広告部８には、第１０折り線５１が設けられていてもよい。第１０折り線５１が設けられていることで、容器保持具１に保持された容器６０の肩部６３及び胴部６４に沿った形で広告部８を設けることができるため、容器保持具１に容器６０が保持された包装製品の取り扱いが容易となったり、当該包装製品を店頭に陳列しやすくなったりするという効果が奏され得る。 FIG. 10 is a developed view showing a schematic configuration of another aspect of the container holder according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 11 shows a schematic configuration of the container holder shown in FIG. 10 assembled and holding a container. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 10, the container holder 1 may further include an advertising section 8 connected to the fourth side surface section 34 via the ninth fold line 50. By providing the advertising portion 8, the advertising area on the container holder 1 can be increased compared to the container 60 shown in FIG. 1A, and the visibility of advertising information can be improved. The advertising portion 8 may be provided with a tenth fold line 51. By providing the tenth fold line 51, the advertising portion 8 can be provided along the shoulder portion 63 and body portion 64 of the container 60 held by the container holder 1. It is possible to have the effect that it becomes easier to handle the packaged product in which the container 60 is held, and it becomes easier to display the packaged product at a store.

本実施形態に係る容器保持具１の作用について説明する。
１列で並ぶ３個の容器６０の上部を第１底面板２１及び第２底面板２２の各第１保持孔１１１及び各第２保持孔１１２に挿入する。このとき、各第１保持孔１１１の第１係止部１１２及び各第２係止部は、容器６０に取り付けられているキャップ６６により押し上げられて、第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３及び第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３が上方に向くようにしてそれぞれ第１基部１１４及び第２基部１２４から折り曲げられる。そして、キャップ６６及び口部６１が第１保持孔１１１及び第２保持孔１１２を通過すると、各第１係止部１１２及び第２係止部１２２が容器６０の首部６２に摺接し、首部６２の上側に第１係止部１１２の先端部１１３及び第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３が当接し、第２係止部１２２の少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なる。次に、第１底面板１１及び第２底面板１２を折り重ね、第１側面部３１及び第３側面部３３を折り重ね、第２側面部３２を２つに折り重ね、第１上面板２１及び第２上面板２２を折り重ね、係止爪６を係止孔７１及び切込線７２に挿入する。このようにして、本実施形態に係る容器保持具１に複数（３個）の容器６０が保持された包装製品が完成する。このような包装製品において、第２係止部１２２の少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なることで、第１係止部１１２に容器６０が確実に係止される。これにより、包装製品を持ち上げたとしても、各容器６０が脱落することなく運搬可能となる。 The operation of the container holder 1 according to this embodiment will be explained.
The upper parts of the three containers 60 lined up in one row are inserted into the first holding holes 111 and the second holding holes 112 of the first bottom plate 21 and the second bottom plate 22. At this time, the first locking part 112 and each second locking part of each first holding hole 111 are pushed up by the cap 66 attached to the container 60, and the tip part 113 of the first locking part 112 and each second locking part are pushed up by the cap 66 attached to the container 60. The second locking portion 122 is bent from the first base portion 114 and the second base portion 124, respectively, so that the tip portion 123 thereof faces upward. Then, when the cap 66 and the mouth part 61 pass through the first holding hole 111 and the second holding hole 112, the first locking part 112 and the second locking part 122 come into sliding contact with the neck part 62 of the container 60, and the neck part 62 The tip portion 113 of the first locking portion 112 and the tip portion 123 of the second locking portion 122 abut on the upper side, and at least a portion of the second locking portion 122 overlaps the first locking portion 112 . Next, the first bottom plate 11 and the second bottom plate 12 are folded over, the first side surface part 31 and the third side surface part 33 are folded over, the second side surface part 32 is folded in half, and the first top surface plate 21 is folded over. Then, the second top plate 22 is folded over, and the locking claw 6 is inserted into the locking hole 71 and the cut line 72. In this way, a packaged product in which a plurality of (three) containers 60 are held by the container holder 1 according to the present embodiment is completed. In such a packaged product, at least a portion of the second locking portion 122 overlaps the first locking portion 112, so that the container 60 is reliably locked to the first locking portion 112. Thereby, even if the packaged product is lifted, each container 60 can be transported without falling off.

以上説明した実施形態は、本発明の理解を容易にするために記載されたものであって、本発明を限定するために記載されたものではない。したがって、上記実施形態に開示された各要素は、本発明の技術的範囲に属する全ての設計変更や均等物をも含む趣旨である。 The embodiments described above are described to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not described to limit the present invention. Therefore, each element disclosed in the above embodiments is intended to include all design changes and equivalents that fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

以下、実施例及び比較例を挙げて本発明をさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明は、下記の実施例等に何ら限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following Examples and the like.

［試験例１］容器保持力試験
〔実施例１〕
１列で並ぶ３個の飲料が充填された内容量２５０ｍＬボトル缶を結露させ、結露したボトル缶を保持した容器保持具１（図１Ａの展開図に示すもの）のサンプルを１０個用意し、鉛直方向に持ち上げ、その状態で揺動させ、容器保持具１からの容器６０の脱落の有無を試験した。第１係止部１１２及び第２係止部１２２は、図４に示す態様とした。なお、上記揺動方法としては、腕を前後方向に１０回振る方法を採用し、第１の速度、当該第１の速度よりも速い第２の速度でそれぞれ実施した。また、容器保持具１に保持させるボトル缶としては、強制的に結露させたものを用いた。第１の速度及び第２の速度それぞれの速度条件で実施し、１０回揺動させる間に各容器保持具１から容器６０が１つも脱落しなかったサンプル数を表１に示す。 [Test Example 1] Container holding power test [Example 1]
250 mL bottle cans filled with three beverages lined up in a row were allowed to condense, and 10 samples of the container holder 1 (shown in the exploded view of FIG. 1A) holding the dew-condensed bottle cans were prepared. The container 60 was lifted vertically and rocked in that state to test whether the container 60 would fall off from the container holder 1. The first locking portion 112 and the second locking portion 122 were configured as shown in FIG. 4 . In addition, as the above-mentioned rocking method, a method of swinging the arm in the front-back direction was adopted, and the swinging was performed at a first speed and a second speed faster than the first speed. Moreover, the bottle can held by the container holder 1 was one that had been forcibly subjected to dew condensation. Table 1 shows the number of samples in which not a single container 60 fell off from each container holder 1 during the 10-time rocking operation performed at the first speed and the second speed.

〔実施例２〕
第２係止部１２２の第２基部１２４から先端部１２３の長さを１．５ｍｍ短くした（図５参照）以外は実施例１と同様の構成を有する容器保持具１を準備した。 [Example 2]
A container holder 1 having the same configuration as Example 1 was prepared, except that the length of the tip portion 123 from the second base portion 124 of the second locking portion 122 was shortened by 1.5 mm (see FIG. 5).

１列で並ぶ３個の飲料が充填された内容量２５０ｍＬボトル缶（実施例１と同様に結露させたボトル缶）を保持した上記容器保持具１のサンプルを１０個用意し、実施例１と同様の揺動方法及び速度条件により、容器保持具１からの容器６０の脱落の有無を試験した。実施例１と同様の揺動方法及びそれぞれの速度条件で実施し、１０回揺動させる間に各容器保持具１から容器６０が１つも脱落しなかったサンプル数を表１に示す。 Ten samples of the above-mentioned container holder 1 holding 250 mL bottle cans filled with three beverages lined up in a row (bottle cans with condensation in the same way as in Example 1) were prepared. Using the same rocking method and speed conditions, a test was conducted to see if the container 60 would fall off from the container holder 1. Table 1 shows the number of samples in which not a single container 60 fell off from each container holder 1 during 10 rockings performed using the same rocking method and speed conditions as in Example 1.

〔実施例３〕
第２係止部１２２の幾何学的中心の角度座標値が、第１係止部１１２の幾何学的中心の角度座標値と一致するように第２係止部１２２を形成した（図６参照）以外は、実施例１と同様の構成を有する容器保持具１を準備した。 [Example 3]
The second locking part 122 was formed so that the angular coordinate value of the geometric center of the second locking part 122 coincided with the angular coordinate value of the geometric center of the first locking part 112 (see FIG. 6). ) A container holder 1 having the same configuration as in Example 1 was prepared except for the following.

〔比較例１〕
第２保持孔１２１に第２係止部１２２が設けられていない以外は、実施例１と同様の構成を有する容器保持具を準備した。 [Comparative example 1]
A container holder having the same configuration as Example 1 was prepared, except that the second holding hole 121 was not provided with the second locking part 122.

１列で並ぶ３個の飲料が充填された内容量２５０ｍＬボトル缶（実施例１と同様に結露させたボトル缶）を保持した上記容器保持具のサンプルを１０個用意し、実施例１と同様の揺動方法及び速度条件により、容器保持具からの容器６０の脱落の有無を試験した。実施例１と同様の揺動方法及びそれぞれの速度条件で実施し、１０回揺動させる間に各容器保持具１から容器６０が１つも脱落しなかったサンプル数を表１に示す。 Ten samples of the above container holder holding 250 mL bottle cans filled with three beverages lined up in a row (bottle cans with condensation in the same way as in Example 1) were prepared, and they were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. The following rocking method and speed conditions were used to test whether the container 60 would fall off from the container holder. Table 1 shows the number of samples in which not a single container 60 fell off from each container holder 1 during 10 rockings performed using the same rocking method and speed conditions as in Example 1.

表１に示すように、実施例１の容器保持具１においては、容器の脱落が生じなかったが、比較例１の容器保持具においては、揺動速度が第１の速度の条件下で、７サンプルの容器６０の脱落が発生し、揺動速度が第２の速度の条件下で、１０サンプルの容器６０の脱落が発生した。なお、比較例１の容器保持具は第２係止部１２２を有していないため、容器保持具を持ち上げて容器保持具を揺動させたときの遠心力によって第１係止部１１２が容器６０から外れ、容器６０の脱落が発生したものと推察される。このことから、実施例１のように、容器保持具１が、少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なるように位置する第２係止部１２２を有することで、第１係止部１１２によって容器６０が確実に係止され、容器保持具１の容器６０の保持力を向上させ得ると考えられる。 As shown in Table 1, in the container holder 1 of Example 1, the container did not fall off, but in the container holder of Comparative Example 1, under the condition that the rocking speed was the first speed, Seven sample containers 60 fell off, and 10 sample containers 60 fell off under the condition that the rocking speed was the second speed. In addition, since the container holder of Comparative Example 1 does not have the second locking part 122, the first locking part 112 locks into the container due to the centrifugal force when the container holder is lifted and swung. It is presumed that the container 60 came off from the container 60 and fell off. From this, as in Example 1, the container holder 1 has the second locking part 122 located so that at least a portion thereof overlaps the first locking part 112, so that the first locking part 112 It is considered that the container 60 is reliably locked by this, and the holding power of the container 60 of the container holder 1 can be improved.

また、実施例２の容器保持具１においては、第２係止部１２２の少なくとも一部が第１係止部１１２に重なるように位置することで、第２係止部１２２を有しない比較例１の容器保持具と比べれば容器６０の保持力が向上するが、第２係止部１２２の先端部１２３が容器６０の首部６２の上部近傍に位置するキャップ６６と首部６２との段差に当接していないことで、実施例１の容器保持具１と比較すると、容器６０の保持力が低下すると推察される。さらに、実施例３の容器保持具１においては、第２係止部１２２は、第１係止部１１２に重なるように位置していることで、容器保持具１の容器６０の保持力を向上するが、特に揺動速度を速くしたときには、容器６０の保持力が低下する結果となった。 Moreover, in the container holder 1 of Example 2, at least a part of the second locking part 122 is located so as to overlap the first locking part 112, so that the comparative example without the second locking part 122 Although the holding force of the container 60 is improved compared to the container holder No. 1, the tip 123 of the second locking portion 122 hits the step between the cap 66 and the neck 62 located near the top of the neck 62 of the container 60. It is presumed that because they are not in contact with each other, the holding force of the container 60 is reduced compared to the container holder 1 of Example 1. Furthermore, in the container holder 1 of Example 3, the second locking part 122 is positioned so as to overlap the first locking part 112, thereby improving the holding power of the container holder 1 for the container 60. However, especially when the rocking speed was increased, the holding force of the container 60 was reduced.
