TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plastic soup closed container used for packaging food together with a seasoning solution, a preservative solution, and the like in a distribution process.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the sale of processed soup foods, dip the food in a seasoning liquid, etc., pack it in a sealed container for the purpose of seasoning and preservation, etc., ship it to the market in this state, open it to consumers and use only the food It often takes the form of food packaging that will throw away juice.
[0003]
For example, if the processed food of seafood is soaked in the seasoning liquid and bottled, the taste will be familiar by the time it reaches the consumer, and the shelf life will be better to be suitable for the taste, but in the consumer, the juice is They are often thrown away because they do not eat or drink, but even in this case, depending on the food, it may be possible to eat more deliciously if the juice is cut well in a colander and placed on a plate.
[0004]
Also, in the packaging of fresh seafood and seaweed, in order to maintain freshness, they are often put on the market in a plastic bag sealed in cold water (often in seawater or salt water). In this case, the consumer uses the food by opening it in a colander, washing with water and draining the water.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, when the packaged food is soaked in juice such as a seasoning solution or a preservative solution, in the distribution process, or when opened from a container in a colander, when it is a delicate food, it loses its shape and as a food You may lose appearance. Also, monkeys may not be available. For example, when monkeys are already used for other purposes or when there are no monkeys outdoors, in such a case, some foods cannot be cooked well.
[0006]
In any case, if the processed food is immersed in a seasoning solution or a preservative solution, it is good for infiltration and preservation of the taste. There was a problem that needed.
[0007]
In view of the above-described circumstances, the present invention does not cause the food to lose its shape due to the juice during the distribution process or at the time of opening, even in the packaging form of the food immersed in the seasoning liquid or the aqueous solution, An object of the present invention was to provide a juice-sealed container that does not require a colander to drain the liquid and can easily drain the liquid.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an outer container hermetically sealed with a lid so that juice as a content does not leak, and a collapsible bottom at the bottom so that foods immersed in the juice can be scooped up. It consists of a formed inner container for food storage, and a pair of left and right pulling knobs are erected and protruded at the upper end of the inner container, and both pulling knobs are turned down by pressing the lid attached to the body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a closed soup container characterized in that the lower end of the pull-up knob is formed so as to be able to bend by elastic deformation.
[0009]
Since the juice closed container is configured as described above, when packaging food as a juice, put juice in the outer container, put the inner container containing the food in the outer container, then close the lid and seal it. At this time, both pulling knobs are turned down. In other words, if the knob is kept upright, the product will be designed so that the space between the lid and the lid will be widened by the height above the inner container, but if it is turned down, it will not be hindered by the knob Therefore, the inner container can be designed so as to cover the inner container, so that there is no inconvenience that the food in the inner container goes out (to the juice side). Further, when the lid is opened, the pulling knob rises due to elasticity, so that the inner container can be easily pulled up after opening.
[0010]
During the distribution process, the lid is held down until it reaches the consumer, so that the swing of the inner container that causes the food to lose its shape is stopped. Moreover, since the food is immersed in the juice, the shelf life is good, and the taste is improved by being familiar with the juice. Then, when the consumer opens the lid and takes out the inner container, the food is scooped up from the juice, and the juice is cut as it is. Further, when it is necessary to desalt the salt because it has been immersed in salt water, it is possible to desalt the salt by immersing it in water as it is.
[0011]
In addition to the above, the outer periphery is formed to be inclined downward so that the inner containers can be successively fitted and overlapped, and a projection is provided on the outer periphery so as to hang over the upper end of the lower inner container and hold between the outer container and the outer container. If a small gap is formed between the upper and lower inner containers due to the catch (claim 2), a plurality of opened inner containers are stacked and displayed or stored in a retail store or a consumer. At this time, since the overlap is not tightly contacted by the protrusion, it can be easily removed and is convenient.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
The soup closed container P is a combination of an outer container 1 as a main body composed of a body 1a and a lid 1b, and an inner container 2 that can be cut into juice to be contained therein (FIG. 1), and the body 1a is made of hard plastic. The lid 1b and the inner container 2 are molded from a soft or semi-rigid plastic. The outer container 1 is provided with a lock sealing structure 3 and a lock release device 5 between the body 1a and the lid 1b, and the inner container 2 is formed with a collapsible 7 at the bottom and a pair of left and right at the upper end. Pull knobs 9, 9 are protruded.
[0014]
The body 1a of the outer container 1 has a raised portion 11 formed at the bottom and a raised portion wide at the bottom, and a thread bottom 12 projected from the lower surface. In addition, a pair of upper and lower check protrusions 13 for sealing is formed along the outer peripheral surface at the upper end of the peripheral wall, so that the lid 1b cannot be turned up slightly below. A ridge 15 is also formed along the outer peripheral surface. In addition, vertically long projections 17, 17, 17, 17 are formed at four corners.
[0015]
On the other hand, the lid 1b has a concave shape that fits inside the mouth of the body 1a when the lid surface wall 19 falls down, so that the inner container 2 is easily pressed. An inverted channel-shaped adhered portion 21 is provided around the lower lid wall 19 so as to be fitted to the upper end portion of the peripheral wall of the body 1a, and is turned upside down so that the outer peripheral wall 21a of the adhered portion 21 is not turned over. It is formed long to abut on the upper surface of the ridge 15. In addition, on the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall 21 a, check locking grooves 14, 14 that fit into the check protrusions 13, 13 are formed as the lock sealing structure 3. The check ridges 13 and 13 and the check groove 14 and 14 have a clearance angle for pressing the lid 1b against the body 1a. Therefore, the lid 1b can be tightened only by pressing, but the lid is opened. Therefore, the closed lid 1b cannot be opened unless the lock release device 5 is used.
[0016]
The lock release device 5 cuts the outer peripheral wall 21a of the lid 1b as a strip (width indicated by reference numeral 23) by the upper check groove 14, and forms the check protrusions 13, 13 with the check grooves 14, 14. A slit 25 is cut in one corner to cut the strip 23, and the slit 25 is provided in a stepwise upward direction. A point connection 27 is provided at the tip of the slit 25 to connect both sides and lock under the slit 25. A release knob 29 protrudes. A lid opening knob 31 is protruded above the opening, so that unlocking and lid opening can be performed almost simultaneously. In addition, the shape and sealing structure of the outer container 1 are various, and the lid 1b does not necessarily have to be a lock structure.
[0017]
The inner container 2 is formed by scattering the above-mentioned collapsible meshes 7, 7,... At the bottom (FIG. 2), and the food 8 is put in the inner container 2 and dipped in the juice 10 in the outer container 1. Yes (Figure 3). In addition, a pair of left and right pulling knobs 9, 9 are provided at the upper end to facilitate putting in and out of the outer container 1. The two pulling knobs 9, 9 stand upright through a thin and elastically refracted lower end 33 formed narrow. The knob 9 has a non-slip ridge 34 formed on the outer surface. Further, legs 36, 36, 36, and 36 that hang on the raised portions 11 of the body 1a project from the bottom portion at locations corresponding to the four corners, and the hooks maintain a constant distance from the body 1a. The movement of the inner container 2 is stopped by the holding of the knobs 9, 9 by the lid 1b, the hooking, and the projection 35 described below so that the food 8 does not lose its shape.
[0018]
At the four corners on the outer periphery of the inner container 2, vertically long protrusions 35, 35, 35, 35 are protruded. In addition to stopping the movement of the inner container 2, when the inner containers 2, 2, ... are overlapped (Fig. 4), the depth of the inner container 2 is controlled so as not to be tightly fitted. Since the top 35 of the lower inner container 2 extends over the lower inner container 2, a gap 37 is formed between the inner containers 2. For this reason, close contact, which is an obstacle when detaching when overlapping, is prevented.
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the soup sealed container of the present invention, the inner container for food storage having a collapsible bottom formed therein is housed in the outer container so as to be held down by the lid, and the food is contained in the inner container. Because it is kept soaked in juice, the food does not lose its shape during the distribution process or when the juice is drained, and the consumer does not need a colander to cut the liquid and stands up There is an excellent effect that the drainage operation can be easily performed with a pair of left and right pulling knobs.
