FIGS. 1 to 20 show a first embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 3 shows a natto container C1 according to the embodiment, and the natto container C1 according to the embodiment is made of polyethylene terephthalate (P
ET), a foamed polystyrene (PS) or a resin such as polypropylene (PP), a container body H having a substantially concave cross-sectional shape, a lid L for opening and closing an opening of the container body H,
It is composed of

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the lid L is formed of a synthetic resin such as polystyrene, polypropylene, or polyethylene terephthalate which has excellent liquid tightness and is resistant to breakage. In the example, it is formed to be transparent or translucent so that the storage state in the container body H and the accessory storage recesses 6 and 7 described later can be visually recognized. The mustard 5 stored in the accessory storage recess 7 contains a volatile component, and this volatile component inhibits fermentation of natto.
In the present embodiment, it is desirable to bond aluminum to a material capable of preventing the volatilization of volatile components, for example, polyethylene terephthalate, or to perform an evaporation process such as aluminum evaporation or silica evaporation or a K coating process.

That is, the lid L is composed of a flange portion 1 overlapped with the flange portion 20 of the container body H, and a peripheral side wall portion 2 dropped from the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 1.
And a flat portion 3 horizontally connected from a lower end portion of the peripheral side wall portion 2 and natto seasoning 4 and mustard 5 which are accessories recessed in the flat portion 3 in a substantially inverted concave shape, respectively. The storage recesses 6 and 7 are stored independently, and the band sealing pieces 15 that seal the storage recesses 6 and 7 are provided.

Then, on one side of the flange 1,
A buffer side 8 is formed to attenuate the lifting force acting on the lid L when the band sealing piece 15 is pulled, and to buffer the lifting of the lid L.

A plurality of ventilation grooves 9 having a semicircular cross section are formed in the peripheral side wall 2 at predetermined intervals, and the lower ends of these ventilation grooves 9 are formed as follows. The cross-sectional shape recessed in the flat part 3 is connected to and connected to the semicircular vent groove 10. As described above, by forming a groove having a semicircular cross section in the peripheral side wall portion 2 and the flat surface portion 3, it also acts as a rib, so that the rigidity of the lid L can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, ventilation holes 14 are formed at required intervals in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the flat portion 3. With this configuration, it is possible to reliably perform aeration necessary for fermentation of natto N, and to prevent the natto N from leaking out of the natto container C1.

Further, each corner 1 of the peripheral side wall 2
As is apparent from FIG. 15, 1, 11, 11, 11 are formed so as to bulge outward and to have a slight wedge shape toward the lower side.

The depth of the peripheral side wall portion 2 is determined by adjusting the depth of the natto N accommodated in the container main body H when the lid L is fitted and locked to the container main body H. The dimensions are set so as to be in close contact with the upper surface. With this configuration, the coating film used in the conventional natto container can be abolished, and even if the coating film is abolished, the natto N becomes dry and hard, or the bean color is black. Can be prevented, and the production line can be simplified. Of course, the protrusion height of each of the storage recesses 6 and 7 is set to a height that does not protrude from the upper surface of the flange portion 1 of the lid L, so that the lid L is inverted and placed on the table surface. It is desirable to configure so as not to be unstable.

Next, a slightly larger storage recess 6 for accommodating the natto seasoning 4 and a slightly smaller storage recess 7 for accommodating the mustard 5 are arranged in series along the pulling direction of the band seal piece 15. It is recessed. By arranging the storage recesses 6 and 7 in series in this way, one strip seal strip 15 can be formed.
By adjusting the tension allowance, the storage recess 6 is opened, and then the storage recess 7 is opened, and the natto seasoning 4 and mustard 5 are poured into the natto N, or only the storage recess 7 is opened. It can be easily adjusted so that only the natto seasoning 4 is poured into the natto N without using the natto N.

Next, the band seal piece 15 is made of a material that does not allow the seasoning 4 for natto or the mustard 5 to leak out. In particular, if the mustard 5 leaks into the natto N, fermentation failure occurs.
It is desirable to be composed of polyethylene terephthalate,
It is desirable to carry out aluminum evaporation, silica evaporation or K-coat treatment as required.

The band seal piece 15 has a seal piece portion 16 having a size to seal the openings of the storage recesses 6 and 7.

By configuring the band seal piece 15 in this manner, the opening operation of the accessory storage recess can be performed with a small force and without breaking the band seal piece 15 on the way.

On the other hand, the container main body H is shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, the soybean is formed so as to have a size of 99 × 99 × 30 mm. In the present invention, the shape and the material used of the container body H are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various known natto containers can be used. The material used is a natural material such as paper or biopolymer. , A biodegradable polymer or the like.

That is, the container main body H includes a flange portion 20 formed in a shape overlapping with the flange portion 1 of the lid L,
The fitting step portion 21 extends downward from the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 20, and a natto storage portion 22 formed substantially concavely below the horizontal step portion of the fitting step portion 21. Vertical irregularities are continuously formed on the peripheral wall surface of the natto storage unit 22, and irregularities are also continuously formed on the bottom surface 23.

A scraper 24 is provided on one side of the flange 20, that is, on the side facing the buffer side 8 of the lid L, so that a single strip is formed.
The natto seasoning 4, the mustard 5 and the natto never attached to the food 5 can be scraped off by the scraper 24 and the flange 1 of the lid L, so that the natto can be eaten without soiling the fingers. can do.

The corner 2 of the fitting step 21
6, 26, 26, 26 are formed so as to slightly bulge outward so that the corners 11, 11, 11, 11 of the peripheral side wall 2 of the lid L are smoothly fitted and guided. The flat portion 21a connecting the corner portions 26, 26, 26, 26 is formed so as to slightly protrude toward the inside of the container, and the flat portion 21a is pressed against the peripheral side wall portion 2 of the lid L. It is configured to be.

The scraper 24 does not necessarily need to project from the flange portion 20 of the container body H. For example, as shown in FIG. In this case, the buffer side 8 may not be formed in the flange 1 of the lid L, and the other flange 1 may be formed.
It may be a flat shape that is in close contact with the same.

In the case of using the natto container C1 constructed as described above, first, in the container body H, about 50 g of a soybean soaked with raw soybean and inoculated with Bacillus natto is incorporated. Since Bacillus natto is an aerobic bacterium, even if the lid L is fitted to the container main body H, fermentation cannot be performed without aeration necessary for the growth of Bacillus natto during fermentation. However, for ventilation, it is desirable to make the natto container C1 according to this embodiment partially open without completely sealing it with the lid. The wall surface is formed so that the unevenness is continuous vertically, the unevenness is also provided on the bottom surface portion 23, the groove portion 9 is also formed on the peripheral side wall surface 2 of the cover L, and the ventilation groove is formed on the flat surface portion 3. Road 10 and vent 1

Can be fermented, but the fermentation can be performed with the lid L tentatively fitted to the container main body H and shifted slightly. Of course, after the fermentation, the lid L is closely fitted to the container body H, so that the lower surface of the flat portion 3 of the lid L is in close contact with the upper surface of the natto. ) Functions as a conventional coating film, so that it is possible to prevent the natto N from drying and becoming hard.

On the other hand, the seasoning 4 for natto and mustard 5 are preliminarily injected into each of the storage recesses 6 and 7 of the lid L, and the opening thereof is formed by the sealing piece 16 of the band sealing piece 15. The free end portion 18a of the band sealing piece 15 extends outside the members H and L through the portion where the scraper 24 is provided when the lid L is fitted to the container body H. It is arranged to put out.

Next, the case of eating natto in a product state will be described. In the natto container C1 according to the present invention, it is not necessary to first remove the lid L from the container body H, and the lid L
After holding and holding the natto container C1 with one hand, the band seal piece 15 is gripped with the other finger and pulled toward the outside of the container. At this time, since the indications of “Please pull”, “Natto seasoning” and “Karashi” are printed on the tension piece portion 18 of the strip seal piece 15, the desired indication to be added to natto is displayed. Belt seal piece 15 up to position
Pull. Of course, by pulling it further, you can also enjoy checking the "hit" and "miss" of the lottery.

When the band sealing piece 15 is pulled in this manner, the folded piece portion 17 of the band sealing piece 15 is pulled in the pulling direction.
The sealing piece 16 is gradually peeled off from the peripheral edge of the opening, and the natto seasoning 4 stored in the storage recess 6 is poured into the natto N. Further, when the above-mentioned pulling operation is further continued, the sealing piece 16 is peeled off from the peripheral edge of the storage recess 7 and the mustard 5 falls on the natto N and is added.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the storage recesses 6, 7
The natto seasoning 4 and mustard 5 stored therein can be easily added to natto without soiling the hands. In the case of the present embodiment, since the band seal pieces 15 are arranged along the arrangement direction of the storage recesses 6 and 7 (the pulling direction of the band seal pieces 15),
The storage recesses 6 and 7 can be sequentially opened with one strip seal piece 15, and the opening means can be simplified. In the case of the present embodiment, the periphery of each of the storage recesses 6 and 7 and the band seal piece 1
5 and no adhesion between the two storage recesses 6 and 7, after the storage recess 6 is opened, the tensile force of the band seal piece 15 is maintained until the next storage recess 7 is opened. Since an extremely light clicking feeling can be obtained,
The opening state of 7 can be sensed with a finger. In addition, when the mustard 5 is not added, the desired taste can be easily adjusted by preventing the belt seal piece 15 from being pulled further when the storage recess 6 is opened.

After the natto seasoning 4 and the mustard 5 have been added according to the above procedure, the lid L is removed from the container body H. At this time, in the natto container C1 according to the present invention, since there is no conventional film on the natto, the natto can be easily adjusted to a desired taste by stirring and mixing the natto as it is. Can be eaten.
In addition, the removed lid body L is turned over and placed on the table, so that the residue of the natto seasoning 4 and mustard 5 attached to the band seal piece 15 does not adhere to the fingers, the table or the tableware,
Furthermore, by fitting the natto into the container body H again after eating the natto, the natto odor is less likely to leak from the used natto container C1 and can be easily discarded, so that the usability is dramatically improved. Can be obtained.

FIG. 21 shows a modification of the above-mentioned band seal piece 15. In this example, the width of the tension piece 18 is made narrower than that of the first embodiment, and By forming the passage in which the band seal piece 15 at the drawing part of the container body H advances and retreats to a narrow width corresponding to this, when the band seal piece 15 is pulled, the wide folded piece 17 serves as a stopper. It functions so that the band seal piece 15 can be effectively prevented from being pulled out.
