Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wrapping sheet for wrapping cooked rice grips such as nigiri (nigiri rice) and nigiri sushi, and a wrapped cooked rice gripper wrapped with this sheet. The present invention relates to a wrapping sheet and a wrapped rice cooked product wrapped with the sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, packaged rice balls (packed rice) have been actively sold in convenience stores and supermarkets. This packaged rice ball is processed so that it can be easily torn open by hand, and the (plastic) film bag containing edible laver (sheet-shaped food) inside is rolled up as a packaging sheet. It is a wrapped and wrapped product.

[0003] When a purchaser of a packaged rice ball eats a rice ball, he unwraps the packaging sheet and takes out the rice ball, tears the film bag body by hand, and wraps the inside edible seaweed around the rice ball and eats it. Since there is a film between the rice ball and the edible seaweed and the edible seaweed does not directly touch the rice ball, the seaweed will remain dry and the taste of the seaweed will not be impaired, so the rice ball is delicious and the packaged rice ball is a popular product Has become.

[0004]

However, in the case of the conventional packing rice balls, there is a problem that the film bag is disposable. Although one film bag is a small amount, the number of rice balls that are in high demand is enormous in Japan as a whole, and the total amount of discarded film bags is not small. In recent years, especially in the context of the problem of plastic waste disposal, it cannot be ignored.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a packaging sheet for wrapping a reusable rice-grip, and a packaged rice-grip wrapped with the sheet.

[0006]

The above object is achieved by the invention described in the claims. That is, the characteristic configuration of the packaging sheet for cooked rice grips according to the present invention includes a flat bag made of a transparent film whose bottom and both side edges are sealed, and the film is opened only on one side of this flat bag. The flap-shaped film piece protrudes by a predetermined width beyond the edge, and the film further protrudes by a predetermined width from both side edges of the flap-shaped film piece to form a sleeve-shaped film piece.

[0007] When wrapping is carried out with this wrapping sheet, the sheet-shaped food is first inserted into the flat bag body through the opening so that one end area remains on the flap-shaped film piece. Since the flat bag body is transparent, the insertion state and accommodation state of the sheet-shaped food can be easily visually recognized. Next, after placing the rice grips on one end area of the sheet-like food on the flap-like film pieces, each sleeve-like film piece is bent so as to abut the rice grips. Finally, when the flat bag body is wound from the opening side to the bottom side with the rice-grip handle inside, the rice-grip handle is firmly wrapped by the flat bag body and the two sleeve-shaped film pieces, and the packaging is completed.

[0008] In the packaged state, the sheet-shaped food has one end area in direct contact with the cooked rice, but only a part of the sheet-shaped food is in direct contact with the cooked rice. Yes, and recent packaged rice products are manufactured and sold according to the purchase time of the buyer, so the actual shelf life (time from production to consumption by the buyer) is short, and sheet food You don't have to worry about the whole being wet and the taste being lost.

Further, a characteristic configuration of the packaged rice-grip grip of the present invention is provided with a flat bag made of a transparent film whose bottom and both side edges are sealed, and the film is opened only on one side of this flat bag. The flap-shaped film piece protrudes from the edge by a predetermined width to form a flap-shaped film piece, and the film further protrudes by a predetermined width from both side edges of the flap-shaped film piece to form a sleeve-shaped film piece. In the flat bag body of the packaging sheet, the sheet-shaped food is accommodated while leaving one end area on the flap-shaped film piece, and the rice-grip is placed on one end area of the sheet-shaped food. , The rice bag is wrapped by folding the sleeve-shaped film piece against the rice bag and then wrapping the flat bag from the opening side to the bottom with the rice bag inside. A.

[0010] When a purchaser eats the packaged rice grips according to the present invention, the flat rice bag wrapping the rice grips is unwound and then bent so as to be applied to the rice grips. Each sleeve-like film piece is peeled off and opened. Thereafter, the sheet-shaped food is pulled out while being rolled up by the cooked rice grip (the sheet-shaped food may be drawn out together with the cooked rice grip, and then the sheet-shaped food may be wound around the cooked rice grip). All you have to do now is put a handful of cooked rice in your mouth with the sheet food. Therefore, it has the convenience of unwrapping the packaging sheet with one hand and eating the packaged rice cooked rice.

On the other hand, the wrapping sheet wrapping the cooked rice grips remains in its original shape without being torn, and can be reused with a simple procedure of removing rice grains and the like. The reuse of the packaging sheet is not only performed by the purchaser, but can be reused by the manufacturer if a collection route for the packaging sheet is provided. The problem of disposal of plastic and other garbage is only increasing in severity, and the present invention can respond to the demands of an era when environmental problems due to garbage contamination are an urgent issue. But because many buyers interact,
It can also help buyers raise awareness of garbage disposal issues.

Further, in the case of the packaging sheet according to the present invention, not only is it possible to easily package rice rice grips so that they can be reused, but it is not necessary to apply a process of easily tearing by hand to the flat bag body. Therefore, a packaging sheet can be produced at a low cost, and the cost of a packaged rice cooked product using the packaging sheet can be reduced.
