Therefore, instead of the plastic container, an environmentally friendly and recyclable paper egg storage container has started to attract attention. As this egg container made of paper, a large number of rectangular spaces are formed by a partitioning material that combines vertically elongated paper pieces and horizontally oriented rectangular paper pieces in a grid pattern inside a paper container body with an open upper surface. It is known that one egg is housed in each space so that adjacent eggs do not come into direct contact with each other, and the container body is covered with a heat-shrinkable film.

The partition material 2 is formed in advance in a shallow container shape or a lid shape from a sheet of paper material by a box making machine, and an egg storage portion 4 is cut out in the horizontal surface portion 3 thereof. In any case, when assembled in the container 1, the partition member 2 has an inner lid shape, and as shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface of the side wall portion 5 of the partition member 2 abuts on the inner bottom surface of the container 1 and becomes horizontal. The surface portion 3 is held at a predetermined height.

い。The partition member 2 is provided with egg storage sections 4 for storing six eggs in three rows and two rows at appropriate intervals so as to avoid contact with each other. Each egg storage unit 4
It has radial slits 4a formed by cutting out in a cross shape from the storage center toward the outside, and four arcuate slits 4b whose center is connected to the outer end of each slit 4a. Each of the four arcuate slits 4b is defined by a radius of the same length centered on four points eccentric with respect to a center C where the radial slits 4a intersect each other.
As shown in enlarged form, the two adjacent edge portions of the arcuate slits adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are radially separated from each other, and a narrow discontinuous portion 4c is formed therebetween. As a result, the adjacent radial slits 4a-4a and the respective arcuate slits 4a
The portion surrounded by b forms the substantially fan-shaped locking piece 4d connected to the sheet portion on the outer periphery of the narrow discontinuous portion 4c. In the figure, in order to clearly show the slits, it is shown that each slit has a predetermined width and is formed by punching out a paper piece corresponding to the slit from the paper material, but in reality, it is simply cut. Never punch out a piece of paper.

にできる。The radial slits 4a and the arcuate slits 4b are formed by moving a cutter having corresponding cutting blades in a direction intersecting the paper material.
In this case, since no chips are generated from the paper material, the manufacturing environment of the intermediate partition material is very good. And
Preferably, a large number of paper materials in which the above radial slits and arcuate slits are formed in advance are prepared, and a shallow container is automatically and sequentially formed from these paper materials using a known box making machine. . Separately from this, a container 1 having an open top is automatically created from a sheet of paper material by a known box making device.
Then, the above-mentioned shallow container is inverted and inserted into the container 1 like an inner lid, whereby the egg storage container with the partition 2 can be automatically formed. Therefore, by providing such an apparatus adjacent to the automatic egg sorting and packaging apparatus, it is possible to easily insert a predetermined number of sorted eggs into the egg storage section 4 formed in the partition material automatically.

生じなくなる。As described above, the egg storage container in which the eggs are stored is then covered with a shrink film (heat-shrinkable film) 7 on its outer periphery and passed through a shrink tunnel. As a result, the shrink film 7 thermally contracts and adheres to the container 1 to cover it, so that the peripheral wall of the container 1 rises almost vertically and adheres closely to the peripheral wall of the partition member 2.
The egg storage container is integrated with the partition material 2 to be a solid one, and the eggs 6 stored inside are also stably held by the partition material during transportation, so that breakage of eggs does not occur in a normal state.

For example, the shape of the egg storage portion 4 of the partition material is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and the central portion 4e may be punched out in a circular shape as shown in FIG. However, in this case, scrap pieces punched out from the paper material are generated.
Further, in the above embodiment, the storage section 4 is divided into four from the center and
The stored article is supported by one locking piece 4d, but it is sufficient if it is divided into three or more. You can also support.
