Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food storing container enabling the discharge of the content by turning the container upside down, inverting the concave wall face formed on the bottom wall inward and pressing a viscous custard pudding, jelly, etc., to separate and drop the pudding, etc., from the circumferential wall. SOLUTION: This food storing container is composed of a conical circumferential wall 1, a bottom wall 2 and a lower circumferential wall 4 extending from the bottom wall 2 downward. A pin 5 for forming an aeration hole is protruded downward from the lower face of the bottom plate 2 and a concave wall face 8 invertible relative to the bottom face is formed at a prescribed part of the bottom wall 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a food container,
Particularly, it relates to a container for storing pudding, jelly, mizuyokan and other viscous foods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a container such as a pudding, a small bar is erected on a top plate (a container bottom plate inverted when taking out contents).
The small bar is pushed down to form an air hole, air is introduced into the container, and the top plate is pressed downward to be separated from the peripheral wall portion, and the top plate is pushed down to have viscous pudding and jelly. Are separated from the peripheral wall.
It is conventionally known as seen in US Pat.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional container, the peripheral wall and the top plate are integrally formed so that the top plate is joined to an inward flange provided on the peripheral wall by insert formation. For this reason, there is a problem that the molding of the storage container requires two molding steps of molding the top plate and molding the container.

Further, in order to make it easy for the top plate to separate from the inward flange provided on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall, a different kind of synthetic resin is used. There was a problem that the materials were mixed.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and at the time of taking out the contents, the container is turned upside down so that the concave wall formed on the bottom wall is turned inward to obtain a viscous pudding. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food storage container that presses jelly or the like away from a peripheral wall to drop the food.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above technical objects, the present invention provides a container for storing food such as pudding as a conical peripheral wall, a bottom wall, and a bottom end extending below the bottom wall. In a food storage container comprising a cylindrical wall, a pin for forming an air hole is vertically provided on a lower surface of the bottom wall, and a concave wall which can be inverted with respect to the bottom wall is formed at a predetermined position on the bottom wall. Is adopted.

[0007]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS.
The storage container is formed of a synthetic resin and includes a conical peripheral wall 1 and a bottom wall 2. A flange 3 is continuously provided at an upper end of the peripheral wall 1, and a bottom end peripheral wall 4 extending below the bottom wall 2 is continuously provided below the flange 3.

A pin 5 for forming an air hole is provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 2.
Is provided, and an annular cutout groove 6 is formed in the upper surface of the bottom wall 2 along the periphery of the root of the pin 5. When the container is inverted and the pin 5 is folded, the notch 6 is torn open and the pin 5 is separated from the bottom wall, and as shown in FIG.
Can be opened.

On the opposite side of the pin 5 with respect to the center of the bottom wall 2, a spherical concave wall surface 8 is formed, and a thin portion 9 is formed on the peripheral edge of the concave wall surface 8 of the bottom wall 2. By pressing the wall surface 8 from the outside, the concave wall surface 8 can be inverted so that the spherical surface faces inward.

The container contains, as contents, viscous foods such as pudding, jelly and mizuyokan, and the upper surface of the flange 3 is sealed with a film, a sheet or the like. As shown in FIG. 3, when eating and drinking, peel off the seal,
When the container is turned over and placed on a plate, and the pin 5 is folded over, an air hole 7 is formed. If the adhesiveness is low, the contents P such as pudding fall by their own weight. When the sticky surface does not drop, the concave wall surface 8 is inverted so that the spherical surface faces downward when the concave wall surface 8 protruding upward is pressed. Can be dropped away.

In the above embodiment, the concave wall surface 8 is provided on the opposite side of the pin 5 with the center of the bottom wall 2 interposed therebetween.
May be provided so that the center thereof is located at the center of the bottom wall 2 (not shown), and the position of the concave wall surface 8 is not limited. Also, the shape may be a trapezoidal concave wall surface having a rectangular peripheral edge with a circular arc at the corner, and the shape of the concave wall surface is not limited to a spherical surface.

In the above embodiment, the peripheral wall 1 has a conical shape. However, if the peripheral wall 1 has a predetermined tapered surface and the contents are separated from the container peripheral wall and fall when inverted, the shape of the cross section of the peripheral wall is as follows. Alternatively, a square shape with rounded corners, an elliptical shape, a star shape, or a flower shape in which arc portions are juxtaposed on a circumferential surface (not shown) may be used. In particular, in the case of a star-shaped or flower-shaped shape, there was a problem that the content was hard to separate from the peripheral wall even from the shape, but due to the reversal action of the concave wall 8 together with the pin 5,
Can be easily separated. Therefore, the shape of the food container can be diversified, and it can respond to consumer's preference.

[0013]

The present invention has the following effects because it is configured as described above. A concave wall is provided on the bottom wall together with a pin for forming air holes, the container is inverted when taking out the contents, and the wall surface of the concave wall is inverted downward, so that even highly adhesive contents can be easily separated from the peripheral wall and dropped. Can be done.
