Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a packaging container suitable for storing dried food such as grilled seaweed.

  As a packaging container for baked seaweed cut into strips, a dish-shaped desiccant container filled with desiccant is pushed into the bottom of a plastic cylindrical main container, and the baked seaweed is stored in the space above the desiccant container. There is a known structure (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-27674 JP 2000-79973 A

In such a container, if the desiccant container is tilted or moved in the main container during transfer, the grilled seaweed breaks or breaks, so the inner periphery of the bottom of the main container is filled with the upper periphery of the desiccant container. And a positioning portion on the inner surface of the main container so that the desiccant container is firmly fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the bottom of the main container so as not to swing.
When you eat all the baked seaweed and discard the empty container, it is necessary to separate the main container from the desiccant container, but the desiccant container fits into the bottom of the main container without any gaps, and the main container has no wide opening. Combined with the difficulty of putting the fingertip into the container, it is difficult to separate the two containers, and the work of separating them by pushing the chopsticks etc. into the peripheral edge of the desiccant container to deform it It was time consuming.

  In view of the above-described problems of the prior art, the present invention enables a desiccant container firmly fitted to the bottom of the main container to be easily and reliably taken out of the main container and separated from each other by an easy operation. This is the issue.

In order to solve the above problems, the food container of the present invention comprises a main container with a lid for storing food, and a desiccant container with a flange filled with a desiccant, and a positioning portion formed on the inner surface of the main container. Is engaged with the upper surface of the desiccant container to fix the desiccant container to the inner bottom of the main container, and is characterized in that a knob portion protruding upward is provided on the flange of the desiccant container.
According to this, if a finger is put in from the opening of the main container and the knob is picked and pulled up as it is, the desiccant container is lifted from the bottom of the main container and the engagement with the positioning part is released, and the desiccant container Can be separated from the main container.

The said structure WHEREIN: The protrusion piece formed so that it might bend in the root part may be used as the knob | pick part.
In that case, it is preferable that the sheet | seat stuck on the upper surface of a desiccant container and closing a container opening is also affixed also on the protrusion piece surface.
The projecting piece can be bent freely by forming a crease at the base portion connected to the flange. A sheet is also affixed to the surface of the protruding piece, so that the protruding piece is integrated with the desiccant container, that is, it is not a foreign object other than food stored in the main container. It becomes possible.

Moreover, you may provide the semicircular-arc-shaped notch part about the magnitude | size of a fingertip in the flange of a desiccant container.
In this case, push the fingertip into the notch to spread between the periphery of the flange and the inner periphery of the main container, and if the fingertip applied to the back side of the flange is bent upward, the desiccant container is lifted up and removed from the main container. Can be separated. The notch may be provided instead of the knob or may be provided together with the knob.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the food packaging container of the present invention. This food packaging container 1 is used for packaging roasted laver cut into strips, a main container 2 having an upper surface opened, a lid 3 attached to the peripheral surface of the opening to seal the container, and a desiccant And a desiccant container 4 filled with

The main container 2 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape in which the peripheral wall 22 is vertically raised from the periphery of the bottom 21 and the upper part is an opening 23.
Specifically, the main container 2 has different inner diameters at the upper and lower sides thereof, a large-sized small container storage space portion 24 immediately above the bottom portion 21 and a small-diameter article storage space portion 25 above it, and at the boundary between both space portions. A positioning portion 26 in which the peripheral wall 22 is stepped along the vertical direction is provided. The small container storage space 24 is large enough to fit the desiccant container 4 fully, and the article storage space 25 is large enough to store strip-shaped baked seaweed bundled in an appropriate thickness. It is provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, the desiccant container 4 includes a desiccant 42 in a dish-like container 41 having a flange 41a, and a sheet 43 having air permeability and moisture permeability is bonded or heat-sealed to the flange 41a. 43, the opening surface is closed.
Specifically, the dish-shaped container 41 has an outer diameter of the flange 41a that is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the small container storage space 24, and a height from the bottom surface to the flange 41a from the center point of the bottom 21 of the main container 2. The height of the positioning portion 26 is approximately the same as the height of the positioning portion 26. With the desiccant container 4 placed in the main container 2 and placed on the bottom 21, the flange 41a contacts the peripheral wall surface of the small container storage space 24. The positioning portion 26 is in contact with and engages with the flange 41a, and is fixed in the small container storage space 24 so as not to swing.

Further, the upper edge of the dish-like container 41 is connected to the flange 41a and protrudes to the side by an appropriate length, for example, a length that can be picked by a fingertip of about 5 to 10 mm. A projecting piece 41b that bends upward with the folding line 41c as an axis is provided. A sheet 43 is integrally bonded to the upper surface of the projecting piece 41b by adhesion or heat fusion.
