BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the drawings.
[0020]
"First Embodiment"
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, what is indicated by the reference numeral 1 is an outer package of a double-packed food, and a receptacle 11 is provided on the upper portion of the outer package 1 (see FIG. 1).
[0021]
The food packaging container designated by the reference numeral 2 is a bottomed container capable of containing the food F, and is made by injection molding plastic (polyethylene). In the present embodiment, the food F is steamed in a bowl, and the shape is produced as shown in FIG.
[0022]
A specific method of using the outer package 1 and the food packaging container 2 in combination in the present embodiment will be described below. First, the main body 21 of the food packaging container 2 is inserted into the receptacle 11 provided on the upper part of the exterior body 1 (see FIG. 3).
[0023]
Next, a hooking projection 21 a (in the present embodiment, formed in the shape of a claw) formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21 of the food packaging container 2 is provided on the inner surface 13 of the exterior body 1. The hook is hooked on the lower side of the formed hooking rib 14 and is prevented from falling off.
[0024]
At this time, at the same time, the flange 22 formed on the outer periphery of the opening of the food packaging container 2 is placed on the receptacle edge 11a. In the present embodiment, a projection 22a is provided on the lower surface of the flange 22 so as to be able to contact the edge 11a of the socket (see FIG. 4).
[0025]
When the ridge 22a provided on the lower surface of the flange 22 comes into contact with the receiving edge 11a, the outer peripheral surface of the food packaging container 2 is condensed due to the temperature of the food F or adheres to the exterior body 1. Dropped water droplets and the like can be held by the surface tension of the ridge 22a, and water leakage can be prevented (see FIG. 5).
[0026]
Thereafter, when the food packaging container 2 is to be removed, the food packaging container 2 is slid in one direction while being pressed from above, whereby the engagement of the engaging projection 21a in the engaging rib 14 is released, Can be removed.
[0027]
In the present embodiment, since the exterior body 1 and the main body 21 of the food packaging container 2 are close to each other without being in close contact with each other, and have a double structure to create an air layer between the two containers. Without directly touching the food F, the heat retaining effect of the food F is improved.
[0028]
In addition, when the food packaging container 2 used in the present embodiment is made of thin paper, aluminum foil, plastic, or the like, these materials do not have a relatively large strength, and the temperature is easily felt when held with bare hands. Therefore, a great effect can be expected by providing the exterior body 1.
[0029]
As a modified example of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, by reinforcing the claw-shaped hooking projections 21 a of the food packaging container 2 in a parallel structure, it is possible to improve the durability against repeated attachment and detachment. In addition, the number and position of the formed parts can be changed. Furthermore, although not shown, the hook ribs 14 of the exterior body 1 do not have to be formed over the entire circumference of the inner side surface 13, but only at the places where the hooking projections 21 a of the food packaging container 2 match. It can also be constituted by forming it.
[0030]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the exterior body 1 may be formed in a pot shape, and the closing lid 15 may be placed on the receptacle 11. Further, the exterior body 1 of the exterior tableware is preferably made of a heat-resistant material such as porcelain, ceramics, glass, and engineering plastic. For example, the exterior body 1 and the food packaging container 2 may be heated in a range while being combined, The food F can be eaten deliciously because it can be put on a steamer or put on an open fire and can be cooked.
[0031]
Furthermore, the bottom 23 of the food packaging container 2 can be formed to be self-supporting by forming a protrusion 23a, and the shape of the bottom 23 can be made round or the like depending on the quality conditions of the food F and the manufacturing conditions of the container. Even if it is done, it can be stably placed when the food packaging container 2 is removed.
[0032]
"Second embodiment"
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the latching convex portion 21a on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21 of the food packaging container 2 is formed into a protruding bulging rib by annularly protruding.
[0033]
With such a configuration, the main body of the food packaging container 2 can be integrally formed by the mold, and the manufacturing process can be simplified. Further, if necessary, it is also possible to partially form the engaging convex portion 21a formed as a bulging rib on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 21 on the outer peripheral surface.
[0034]
Although the present invention is generally configured as described above, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims, for example, The shape of the exterior body 1 of the exterior tableware is not limited to a bowl shape, but may be a shallow bottom or dish shape.
[0035]
Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a food protection cap 24 can be configured to be able to be attached to a flange 22 formed outside the opening of the food packaging container 2, and the food protection cap 24 is made of a colorless and transparent resin. If made of a material (such as PET), merchandise can be displayed so that the contents can be seen at the store. Then, the food protection cap 24 can be removed from the home dining table, set on the exterior body 1, and immediately served.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in the embodiment, in the container engaging mechanism according to the present invention, the engaging projection formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body of the food packaging container is formed on the inner surface of the exterior body. Since it is constituted so that it can be hooked on the lower side of the stop rib, it is possible to prevent both containers of the double-wrapped food from coming off, and to fix it securely.
[0037]
Therefore, even if the food packaging container is an immersed plastic container, it can be used in combination with the exterior body of the present invention, so that the appearance is not different from the normally used tableware such as ceramics and glass, so that it has a high quality feeling. Since the food packaging container can be attached directly, the food packaging container can be directly attached, so that there is no need to transfer the food and there is no fear that the dish will be destroyed.
[0038]
In addition, since the exterior body of the present invention covers the food packaging container to form a double structure, the heat retaining effect by the air layer created between the containers is high, and the food packaging container is not directly touched by the hand, It can hold hot and cold objects without any trouble. Furthermore, since it is only necessary to remove and dispose of the food packaging container after eating, the tableware is less likely to become dirty, and the time and effort for cleaning can be reduced, so that the practical value is extremely high.
