METHOD OF COLLECTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND INDIVIDUAL DISTRIBUTION OF COOLED ITEM, AND COLLECTIVELY INSULATED CONTAINER

摘要

PURPOSE:To make it possible to separate a plurality of cooled items into a unit cooled item without using cutting means by connecting a plurality of unit containers, each of which houses cooled items, with one another by means of an easily cuttable part and a connecting part, putting a cover material on said containers, transporting them in a collected state, and thereafter cutting off the connecting part by means of a tool. CONSTITUTION:A collective container 11 comprises four unit containers 6 disposed adjacent to each other, each of which has four upstanding side plates 7 arranged on the periphery of a bottom plate 13, while a protruding edge 15 is provided along the inner edge of the upper surface of the plate 7. The opposed plates 7 of adjacent containers 6 are connected to each other by means of two connecting parts 16 provided on opposite ends of upper part of the container and lateral easily cuttable parts 17 provided at the lower part of the plate 7, whereby sufficient connecting strength is provided by the provision of the parts, preventing thereby the containers 6 from being separated by vibration during transportation. In order to separate a container 22, connecting parts 20 of a collective cover 12 are manually separated and the parts 16 are cut off by means of a knife etc., whereby the unit containers which are connected only by parts 17 can be easily separated by hand.
