Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a natto storage container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various natto containers are known.
A peripheral wall is erected from the outer periphery of the bottom plate, and an outward flange is attached to an upper end of the peripheral wall to form a container body. A container is known in which a sachet and a sachet containing spices are placed on the film, and the upper surface of the peripheral wall is closed with a sheet.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional container, after removing the sheet on the upper surface of the peripheral wall, the sachet containing the sauce and the condiment are taken out, and further, the film covering the upper surface of the natto is taken out.
Since the stickiness of natto has adhered to the lower surface of the film, when peeling the film from the upper surface of natto, and when the film is processed, the stickiness is easy to touch with hands or other objects,
It was troublesome.

An object of the present invention is mainly to eliminate the trouble.

[0005]

As a first means, a container body 1 which stands up from a periphery of a first bottom plate 2 to a first peripheral wall 3 and is attached to a rear upper end of the first peripheral wall of the container body via a thin hinge 15. A lid 11 for closing the upper surface of the first peripheral wall so as to be openable and closable, and a second peripheral wall 13 for recessing the lid top plate portion above the inner surface of the first peripheral wall into a shallow dish shape to form an outer periphery of the concave portion. An appropriate number of ventilation holes 17 are formed in the second bottom plate 16 which is detachably fitted to the upper inner surface of the first peripheral wall 3 and closes the lower surface of the concave portion.

The second means has the first means as the second means, and the second bottom plate 16 is formed of a synthetic resin film 16a having an outer peripheral portion joined to the lower surface of the second peripheral wall 13.

As a third means, the above-mentioned first or second means is provided, and first and second outward flanges 4, 14 are respectively provided on the upper ends of the first peripheral wall 3 and the second peripheral wall. The rear edge is connected by a thin hinge, and the second
A ventilation groove 18 was formed in the upper surface of the part of the outward flange by opening the inner edge and the outer edge, respectively.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
Is a container body which stands up the first peripheral wall 3 from the outer periphery of the first bottom plate 2 and has a first outward flange 4 attached to the upper end of the first peripheral wall. The first bottom plate has a square shape, and the first peripheral wall is a large-diameter square cylinder in the upper part.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a lid which closes the upper surface of the container body. The lid forms a second peripheral wall 13 which forms an outer periphery of the concave portion by recessing the top plate 12 above the inner surface of the first peripheral wall 3 in a shallow dish shape. A second outward flange 14 is also attached to the upper inner surface of the first peripheral wall 3 in a detachable manner, and a second outward flange 14 is also attached to the outer periphery of the cover plate, so that the rear edge of the second outward flange 14 and the first outward flange 4 are connected. Each trailing edge is connected by a thin hinge 15. An appropriate number of ventilation holes 17 are formed in the second bottom plate 16 for closing the lower surface of the recess.

However, the first and second outward flanges 4, 14 are provided.
Is not always necessary, and when the outward flange is not provided, the upper end of the first peripheral wall rear portion and the rear portion of the lid plate may be directly connected by a thin hinge.

It is desirable to form a ventilation groove 18 in the upper surface of the second outward flange 14 by partially opening the inner edge and the outer edge.

As shown in FIG. 4, the second bottom plate 16 of the concave portion of the lid may be formed of a synthetic resin film 16a having an outer peripheral portion joined to the lower surface of the second peripheral wall 13. The film is also provided with an appropriate number of ventilation holes.

In the case of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, it is preferable that the container body and the lid are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. In the case of FIG. 4, the portion excluding the second bottom plate is formed of a synthetic resin material. After forming, the second peripheral wall 13
The bottom plate forming film 16a is attached.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the container is used after the natto 21 is stored in the container body with the lid open.
11 are fitted, the sacks 22 and 23 containing the condiments are placed on the second bottom plate 16 of the lid, and then a transparent film 31 or the like is stuck on the upper surface of the lid. Part of the film is a knob 32
It is good to hang from the outer edge of the lid top plate.

Consumers can use it as follows.
First, the film 31 on the upper surface of the lid is peeled off, and the lid is opened by rotation about the thin hinge 15. By providing a small gap between the lower surface of the lid second bottom plate 16 and the natto 21 stored in the container body, it is possible to prevent the stickiness of natto from adhering to the lower surface of the second bottom plate. Even if the stickiness adheres to the second bottom plate by contacting the second bottom plate with the upper surface of the natto, the lid can be opened without touching the second bottom plate, so that the stickiness does not adhere to the hand. Next, the sauce, the spices and the like can be opened, put into the container body, stirred with natto, and eaten. After eating, it may be closed again and discarded.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the upper portion of the container body is closed by the second bottom plate 16 of the concave portion of the lid as described in the first and second aspects. It is not necessary to cover the film with a film, so that the film to which the stickiness of the natto adhered is removed, and there is no trouble in its disposal,
Each sachet containing the sauce and condiments can be put into the recessed portion of the lid, and even after eating the natto in the container, the stickiness remaining in the container body due to re-closure can be conveniently enclosed in the container.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, first,
A second outward flange protects the container and vents 17 and vents 18 allow the release of fermentation gas from natto.
