[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional container, the auxiliary tool is formed as an independent part, so that the molding cost is increased and the trouble of assembling is increased.
[0005]
Accordingly, the present invention provides an auxiliary tool for taking out contents horizontally, which can be separated from the container body via a break line, from the outer edge of the outward flange of the container body, and the upper surface of the container body and the auxiliary tool. An object of the present invention is to provide a cup-shaped container that is easy to mold and easy to use by sticking a backing plate that also serves as a reinforcing material to a releasable material.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The first means is a container body 1 having an outward flange 4 attached to the upper end of the peripheral wall 3,
An auxiliary tool 11 with a handle for taking out the contents, which protrudes horizontally from the outer edge of the outward flange 4 so as to be separable from the container body 1 via a breaking line 12,
There is provided a backing plate 21 also serving as a reinforcing material, which is releasably attached to each upper surface of the container body 1 and the auxiliary tool 11.
[0007]
The second means has the first means, and the protection film 31 is adhered by covering at least the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the cover plate 21 with the lower surface of the cup-shaped container.
[0008]
The third means has the first means or the second means, and the upper surface concave and rear convex or the upper convex and rear concave reinforcing groove portion is formed on the handle forming portion of the auxiliary tool 11. 15 are formed along the pattern longitudinal direction.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The cup-shaped container of the present invention includes a container body 1, a handle-assisted auxiliary tool 11 for taking out contents, a cover plate 21, and a protective film 31.
[0010]
The container body 1 is provided with an outward flange 4 at the upper end of a peripheral wall 3 that rises in a tapered shape with a large diameter at the upper part from the peripheral edge of the bottom wall 2. A rib 5 is provided between the upper end surface of the peripheral wall 3 and the upper surface of the outward flange 4 for bonding to a cover plate described later. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the outward flange 4 is formed so that the front and rear sides of the left and right ends are laterally outwardly formed in a rectangular shape so that the left and right side edges 4a and 4b of the outward flange are formed wide in the front and rear direction. are doing.
[0011]
The handle-equipped auxiliary tool 11 for taking out the contents is formed integrally with the container main body 1 and is detachable from the left and right side edges 4a, 4b of the outward flange of the container main body via the breaking line 12. An outwardly protruding horizontal plate is formed by shaping it on a fork, spoon, or the like. In the illustrated example, the auxiliary tool 11 is formed by a handle forming portion 13 connected to the outward flange 4 via a breaking line 12 and a head forming portion 14 attached to the tip of the handle forming portion. The head forming part is formed in a scooping part of a spoon or a stab tooth part of a fork. The breaking line 12 is formed by a plurality of connecting pieces or thin lines. The contents-removing aid includes a knife or the like for separating the contents prior to taking out the contents, and also includes a spatula used for taking out articles other than food.
[0012]
In the illustrated example, the handle forming portion 13 of the auxiliary tool 11 has an upper surface concave portion and a lower surface convex reinforcing portion, except for an outer peripheral portion thereof, which is left as an attachment margin 13a of a backing plate. The groove 15 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the handle. The stab tooth of the fork-shaped auxiliary tool 11 is provided with a reinforcing groove 16 having a convex upper surface and a concave lower surface, except for an outer edge portion thereof. Of course, an upper surface convex and lower surface concave groove portion may be formed in the pattern forming portion, and an upper surface concave and lower surface convex groove portion may be formed in the stab tooth portion.
[0013]
The container body 1 can be formed of a synthetic resin material, and can be formed by, for example, injection molding or vacuum molding.
[0014]
The covering plate 21 is made of a material having a rigidity enough to protect the breaking line 12 and is formed in a shape corresponding to the upper surface of the container body 1 so as to cover the upper surface of the peripheral wall 3 of the container body and the upper surface of the auxiliary tool 11. Then, the rib 5 on the upper end side of the container body peripheral wall 3, the upper surface of the outward flange 4, and the upper surface of the auxiliary tool 11 are releasably attached. As a method of sticking, for example, an adhesive layer may be provided on the lower surface of the backing plate and bonded via the adhesive layer. A knob 22 for peeling operation is provided on the outer edge of the backing plate 21. Further, the backing plate 21 can be formed as a laminated structure of two kinds of synthetic resins or a laminated structure of a synthetic resin and a different material.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2, the protective film 31 is folded at the left and right outer ends of the auxiliary tool 11 and the front and rear ends of the outward flange 4 from the cover plate 21 inside the rib, and is adhered to the upper portion of the outer surface of the container body peripheral wall 3. The lower surface of the auxiliary tool 11 is closed. The protection film can be a shrink film. In addition, the whole container main body 1 can be packaged with a protective film.
[0016]
The container body 1, the backing plate 21, and the protective film 31 can be formed of a gas barrier material.
[0017]
In the above configuration, the cover plate 21 prevents the auxiliary tool 11 from dropping from the container main body 1 due to an unexpected rupture of the breaking line 12, and the protective film 31 protects the surface of the auxiliary tool 11 from dust. Prevents the adhesion of such as.
[0018]
Next, when the protective film 31 is removed and the covering plate 21 is removed from the upper surface of the container body 1 and the auxiliary tool 11 is bent, the breaking line 12 is broken. Then, the food can be taken out and eaten using the auxiliary tool 11.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above, and the invention of claim 1 has the following effects.
O Since the auxiliary tool 11 for taking out the contents protrudes from the outward flange 4 of the container body 1, it is not necessary to incorporate the auxiliary tool into the cup-shaped container as a separate body from the container body 1, and it is inexpensive to manufacture. it can.
O Since the cover plate 21 is releasably adhered to the upper surfaces of the container body 1 and the auxiliary tool 11, the auxiliary tool 11 is prevented from dropping from the container main body 1 due to an unexpected rupture of the breaking line 12. be able to.
[0020]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the entire outer surface of the cup-shaped container is covered with the protective film 31, it is possible to prevent the lower surface of the auxiliary tool 11 from being soiled, which is sanitary.
[0021]
According to the invention of claim 3, the following effects are obtained.
O Since the reinforcing groove 15 having a concave upper surface and a convex rear surface or a convex upper surface and a concave rear surface is formed in the auxiliary tool 11, it is possible to prevent the auxiliary tool from being damaged when taking out food or the like.
In addition, the provision of the groove portion 15 having a convex upper surface and a concave rear surface as described above is provided in a part of the auxiliary tool 11, so that the bonding of the cover plate 21 to the part can be ensured.
