Description

本発明は、食品類を冷凍するための容器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a container for freezing foods.

従来より、家庭に於いて製氷や食品を小分けして冷凍するために、合成樹脂によって製造された容器が使用されてきた。しかし、冷凍により水分が容器に凍り付いて、被冷凍物を容器から剥がすことが容易でなかった。また、薄い合成樹脂膜によって食品をくるみ、必要に応じ解凍して用いることが一般に行われている。しかし食品を小分けして薄い合成樹脂膜でくるむことは面倒であり、時間の節約という点からは理想的とは言い難いものであった。   Conventionally, containers made of synthetic resin have been used to refrigerate and freeze ice making and food at home. However, the water freezes on the container by freezing, and it is not easy to peel off the object to be frozen from the container. In general, food is wrapped with a thin synthetic resin film and thawed as necessary. However, it is cumbersome to divide the food and wrap it with a thin synthetic resin film, which is not ideal in terms of time saving.

特開2003−185311 特開2003−185311に記載された発明は、「・・・前記容器の底壁部のみを他の壁部よりも柔軟な弾性材質から形成し、該底壁部を外から押して膨出変形させることにより、冷凍物を取り出すようにした・・・」ものであり、内容物を取り出しやすい点で優れているものの、底壁部のみを他の壁部よりも柔軟な弾性材質にした点でコストがかさみ家庭で一般に使用する容器としては不都合といえる。合成樹脂等の材質で一体に成形された、安価な冷凍用容器が望まれる。The invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-185511 is described as follows: “... only the bottom wall portion of the container is formed of an elastic material that is more flexible than the other wall portions, and the bottom wall portion is externally formed. By pressing and bulging and deforming it, it is possible to take out the frozen material ... "which is excellent in that it is easy to take out the contents, but only the bottom wall part is more flexible than other wall parts This makes the cost high and inconvenient as a container generally used at home. An inexpensive refrigeration container integrally formed of a material such as synthetic resin is desired.

特開2000−226069 特開2000−226069に記載された発明は「個別に使用できるように組み合わされた複数個の小分け食品収納容器と、それら容器を支持する部材とで構成される簡単に小分けできる食品用トレー。」であり、更に「複数個の小分け食品収納容器が薄い材質で変形可能に作られた容器。」であり、「複数個の小分け食品収納容器がそれぞれ切り離し出来るように、上記の容器を支持する部材に一体に接合」され、「上記複数個の小分け食品収納容器は簡単に切り取りできるように、周縁部でつながって1又は2以上の収納トレーを構成」している。The invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-226069 can be easily divided into a plurality of divided food storage containers combined so that they can be used individually, and members that support the containers. Food trays ”, and“ a plurality of subdivided food storage containers made of a thin material that can be deformed. ”And“ a plurality of subdivided food storage containers can be separated from each other. "They are integrally joined to a member that supports the container", and "the plurality of divided food storage containers are connected at the peripheral portion to form one or more storage trays so that they can be easily cut".

この発明は、明細書の記述及び図面から、薄い素材による連結された容器であり、切り離しやすいように少ない点状の接点によって接合されており、切り離しながら使い捨て型に使用する容器のように読みとれる。使い捨て型であることは明記されていないが、切り離しやすいということは二度と同じようには使用できないことを意味し、もし繰り返し出来るような容器であるとすれば、凍り付いた容器と食品とを分離容易にする手段を有していない点で実用上最適とは言えない。     From the description and drawings of the present invention, the present invention is a container connected by a thin material, joined by a few point-like contacts so as to be easily separated, and can be read as a container used for a disposable type while being separated. . It is not specified that it is a disposable type, but being easy to detach means that it cannot be used again, and if it is a container that can be repeated, it is easy to separate frozen containers from food It cannot be said that it is practically optimal in that it does not have means for making it.

特開平9−58761 特開平9−58761に記載された発明は「冷凍から電子レンジ加熱まで対応する素材からなり且複数の食品収容部(10)(10)を具備する容器主体(1)と、前記容器主体(1)と同一の素材からなり且前記容器主体(1)の開放部を密封状態に閉塞できる蓋部(2)からなる食品保存容器であり、容器主体(1)を加圧変形自在に構成するとともに、前記食品収容部(10)(10)の周壁は、底面に向かってテーパ状となるように傾斜させるとともに、各食品収容部(10)内の隅コーナー部はすべて断面円弧状に形成した・・・食品保存容器。」である。The invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-58761 is “a container main body (1) made of a material corresponding to freezing to microwave heating and having a plurality of food containers (10) (10); A food storage container made of the same material as the container main body (1) and having a lid (2) capable of closing the open part of the container main body (1) in a sealed state. While being configured freely, the peripheral wall of the food container (10) (10) is inclined so as to be tapered toward the bottom surface, and the corner corners in each food container (10) are all cross-sectional circles. It is formed in an arc shape ... a food storage container. "

前記加圧変形自在な構成について具体的記述がなく、段落11に「・・・取り出したい食品が収納されている食品収納部(10)の底部又は対向する側壁を押すなどして圧力を加える」ことで内部の食品を浮かせて取り出し、「・・・加圧変形が自在であるから、変形させた箇所は、手を離すことにより元の形状に復帰する・」としている。使用する素材が合成樹脂の場合、一般に合成樹脂等は温度を下げることでも可撓性も低くなるものであり、変形をを助ける何らかの手段を設けることが望ましい。実施例としてアルミ箔によるものが記載されているが、この場合変形したものは完全には復元できず、使用とともに劣化するものと思われ、使い捨てとして使用するのが望ましいと思われる。   There is no specific description of the pressure-deformable configuration, and in paragraph 11, "... apply pressure by pressing the bottom or opposite side wall of the food storage unit (10) storing the food to be taken out" Then, the food inside is floated and taken out, "... Because pressure deformation is free, the deformed part will return to its original shape by releasing your hand." When the material to be used is a synthetic resin, the synthetic resin or the like generally has low flexibility even when the temperature is lowered, and it is desirable to provide some means for assisting deformation. Although an example using an aluminum foil is described as an example, in this case, the deformed one cannot be completely restored and seems to deteriorate with use, and it is desirable to use it as a disposable.

本発明は、食品類を冷凍するための容器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a container for freezing foods.

従来より、家庭に於いて製氷や食品を小分けして冷凍するために、合成樹脂によって製造された容器が使用されてきた。しかし、冷凍により水分が容器に凍り付いて、被冷凍物を容器から剥がすことが容易でなかった。また、薄い合成樹脂膜によって食品をくるみ、必要に応じ解凍して用いることが一般に行われている。しかし食品を小分けして薄い合成樹脂膜でくるむことは面倒であり、時間の節約という点からは理想的とは言い難いものであった。 Conventionally, containers made of synthetic resin have been used to refrigerate and freeze ice making and food at home. However, the water freezes on the container by freezing, and it is not easy to peel off the object to be frozen from the container. In general, food is wrapped with a thin synthetic resin film and thawed as necessary. However, it is cumbersome to divide the food and wrap it with a thin synthetic resin film, which is not ideal in terms of time saving.

特開2003−185311特開2003−185311に記載された発明は、「・・・前記容器の底壁部のみを他の壁部よりも柔軟な弾性材質から形成し、該底壁部を外から押して膨出変形させることにより、冷凍物を取り出すようにした・・・」ものであり、内容物を取り出しやすい点で優れているものの、底壁部のみを他の壁部よりも柔軟な弾性材質にした点でコストがかさみ家庭で一般に使用する容器としては不都合といえる。合成樹脂等の材質で一体に成形された、安価な冷凍用容器が望まれる。The invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-185111 is described as follows: “... only the bottom wall portion of the container is formed of an elastic material that is more flexible than other wall portions, and the bottom wall portion is externally formed. By pressing and bulging and deforming it, it is possible to take out the frozen material ... "which is excellent in that it is easy to take out the contents, but only the bottom wall part is more flexible than other wall parts This makes the cost high and inconvenient as a container generally used at home. An inexpensive refrigeration container integrally formed of a material such as synthetic resin is desired.

特開2000−226069特開2000−226069に記載された発明は「個別に使用できるように組み合わされた複数個の小分け食品収納容器と、それら容器を支持する部材とで構成される簡単に小分けできる食品用トレー。」であり、更に「複数個の小分け食品収納容器が薄い材質で変形可能に作られた容器。」であり、「複数個の小分け食品収納容器がそれぞれ切り離し出来るように、上記の容器を支持する部材に一体に接合」され、「上記複数個の小分け食品収納容器は簡単に切り取りできるように、周縁部でつながって1又は2以上の収納トレーを構成」している。The invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-226069 can be easily divided into a plurality of divided food storage containers combined so that they can be used individually and members that support the containers. Food trays ”, and“ a plurality of subdivided food storage containers made of a thin material that can be deformed. ”And“ a plurality of subdivided food storage containers can be separated from each other. "They are integrally joined to a member that supports the container", and "the plurality of divided food storage containers are connected at the peripheral portion to form one or more storage trays so that they can be easily cut".

この発明は、明細書の記述及び図面から、薄い素材による連結された容器であり、切り離しやすいように少ない点状の接点によって接合されており、切り離しながら使い捨て型に使用する容器のように読みとれる。使い捨て型であることは明記されていないが、切り離しやすいということは二度と同じようには使用できないことを意味し、もし繰り返し出来るような容器であるとすれば、凍り付いた容器と食品とを分離容易にする手段を有していない点で実用上最適とは言えない。 From the description and drawings of the present invention, the present invention is a container connected by a thin material, joined by a few point-like contacts so as to be easily separated, and can be read as a container used for a disposable type while being separated. . It is not specified that it is a disposable type, but being easy to detach means that it cannot be used again, and if it is a container that can be repeated, it is easy to separate frozen containers from food It cannot be said that it is practically optimal in that it does not have means for making it.

特開平9−58761特開平9−58761に記載された発明は「冷凍から電子レンジ加熱まで対応する素材からなり且複数の食品収容部(10)(10)を具備する容器主体(1)と、前記容器主体(1)と同一の素材からなり且前記容器主体(1)の開放部を密封状態に閉塞できる蓋部(2)からなる食品保存容器であり、容器主体(1)を加圧変形自在に構成するとともに、前記食品収容部(10)(10)の周壁は、底面に向かってテーパ状となるように傾斜させるとともに、各食品収容部(10)内の隅コーナー部はすべて断面円弧状に形成した・・・食品保存容器。」である。The invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-58761 is disclosed in “a container main body (1) made of a material corresponding to freezing to microwave heating and having a plurality of food containers (10) (10); A food storage container made of the same material as the container main body (1) and having a lid (2) capable of closing the open part of the container main body (1) in a sealed state. While being configured freely, the peripheral wall of the food container (10) (10) is inclined so as to be tapered toward the bottom surface, and the corner corners in each food container (10) are all cross-sectional circles. It is formed in an arc shape ... a food storage container. "

前記加圧変形自在な構成について具体的記述がなく、段落11に「・・・取り出したい食品が収納されている食品収納部(10)の底部又は対向する側壁を押すなどして圧力を加える」ことで内部の食品を浮かせて取り出し、「・・・加圧変形が自在であるから、変形させた箇所は、手を離すことにより元の形状に復帰する・」としている。使用する素材が合成樹脂の場合、一般に合成樹脂等は温度を下げることでも可撓性も低くなるものであり、変形をを助ける何らかの手段を設けることが望ましい。実施例としてアルミ箔によるものが記載されているが、この場合変形したものは完全には復元できず、使用とともに劣化するものと思われ、使い捨てとして使用するのが望ましいと思われる。 There is no specific description of the pressure-deformable configuration, and in paragraph 11, "... apply pressure by pressing the bottom or opposite side wall of the food storage unit (10) storing the food to be taken out" Then, the food inside is floated and taken out, "... Because pressure deformation is free, the deformed part will return to its original shape by releasing your hand." When the material to be used is a synthetic resin, the synthetic resin or the like generally has low flexibility even when the temperature is lowered, and it is desirable to provide some means for assisting deformation. Although an example using an aluminum foil is described as an example, in this case, the deformed one cannot be completely restored and seems to deteriorate with use, and it is desirable to use it as a disposable.

本発明は、食品類を冷凍するための容器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a container for freezing foods.

従来より、家庭に於いて製氷や食品を小分けして冷凍するために、合成樹脂によって製造された容器が使用されてきた。しかし、冷凍により水分が容器に凍り付いて、被冷凍物を容器から剥がすことが容易でなかった。また、薄い合成樹脂膜によって食品をくるみ、必要に応じ解凍して用いることが一般に行われている。しかし食品を小分けして薄い合成樹脂膜でくるむことは面倒であり、時間の節約という点からは理想的とは言い難いものであった。 Conventionally, containers made of synthetic resin have been used to refrigerate and freeze ice making and food at home. However, the water freezes on the container by freezing, and it is not easy to peel off the object to be frozen from the container. In general, food is wrapped with a thin synthetic resin film and thawed as necessary. However, it is cumbersome to divide the food and wrap it with a thin synthetic resin film, which is not ideal in terms of time saving.

特開2003−185311特開2003−185311に記載された発明は、「・・・前記容器の底壁部のみを他の壁部よりも柔軟な弾性材質から形成し、該底壁部を外から押して膨出変形させることにより、冷凍物を取り出すようにした・・・」ものであり、内容物を取り出しやすい点で優れているものの、底壁部のみを他の壁部よりも柔軟な弾性材質にした点でコストがかさみ家庭で一般に使用する容器としては不都合といえる。合成樹脂等の材質で一体に成形された、安価な冷凍用容器が望まれる。The invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-185111 is described as follows: “... only the bottom wall portion of the container is formed of an elastic material that is more flexible than other wall portions, and the bottom wall portion is externally formed. By pressing and bulging and deforming it, it is possible to take out the frozen material ... "which is excellent in that it is easy to take out the contents, but only the bottom wall part is more flexible than other wall parts This makes the cost high and inconvenient as a container generally used at home. An inexpensive refrigeration container integrally formed of a material such as synthetic resin is desired.

特開2000−226069特開2000−226069に記載された発明は「個別に使用できるように組み合わされた複数個の小分け食品収納容器と、それら容器を支持する部材とで構成される簡単に小分けできる食品用トレー。」であり、更に「複数個の小分け食品収納容器が薄い材質で変形可能に作られた容器。」であり、「複数個の小分け食品収納容器がそれぞれ切り離し出来るように、上記の容器を支持する部材に一体に接合」され、「上記複数個の小分け食品収納容器は簡単に切り取りできるように、周縁部でつながって1又は2以上の収納トレーを構成」している。The invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-226069 can be easily divided into a plurality of divided food storage containers combined so that they can be used individually and members that support the containers. Food trays ”, and“ a plurality of subdivided food storage containers made of a thin material that can be deformed. ”And“ a plurality of subdivided food storage containers can be separated from each other. "They are integrally joined to a member that supports the container", and "the plurality of divided food storage containers are connected at the peripheral portion to form one or more storage trays so that they can be easily cut".

この発明は、明細書の記述及び図面から、薄い素材による連結された容器であり、切り離しやすいように少ない点状の接点によって接合されており、切り離しながら使い捨て型に使用する容器のように読みとれる。使い捨て型であることは明記されていないが、切り離しやすいということは二度と同じようには使用できないことを意味し、もし繰り返し出来るような容器であるとすれば、凍り付いた容器と食品とを分離容易にする手段を有していない点で実用上最適とは言えない。 From the description and drawings of the present invention, the present invention is a container connected by a thin material, joined by a few point-like contacts so as to be easily separated, and can be read as a container used for a disposable type while being separated. . It is not specified that it is a disposable type, but being easy to detach means that it cannot be used again, and if it is a container that can be repeated, it is easy to separate frozen containers from food It cannot be said that it is practically optimal in that it does not have means for making it.

特開平9−58761特開平9−58761に記載された発明は「冷凍から電子レンジ加熱まで対応する素材からなり且複数の食品収容部(10)(10)を具備する容器主体(1)と、前記容器主体(1)と同一の素材からなり且前記容器主体(1)の開放部を密封状態に閉塞できる蓋部(2)からなる食品保存容器であり、容器主体(1)を加圧変形自在に構成するとともに、前記食品収容部(10)(10)の周壁は、底面に向かってテーパ状となるように傾斜させるとともに、各食品収容部(10)内の隅コーナー部はすべて断面円弧状に形成した・・・食品保存容器。」である。The invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-58761 is disclosed in “a container main body (1) made of a material corresponding to freezing to microwave heating and having a plurality of food containers (10) (10); A food storage container made of the same material as the container main body (1) and having a lid (2) capable of sealingly closing the open part of the container main body (1), and the container main body (1) is deformed under pressure While being configured freely, the peripheral wall of the food container (10) (10) is inclined so as to be tapered toward the bottom surface, and the corner corners in each food container (10) are all cross-sectional circles. It is formed in an arc shape ... a food storage container. "

前記加圧変形自在な構成について具体的記述がなく、段落11に「・・・取り出したい食品が収納されている食品収納部(10)の底部又は対向する側壁を押すなどして圧力を加える」ことで内部の食品を浮かせて取り出し、「・・・加圧変形が自在であるから、変形させた箇所は、手を離すことにより元の形状に復帰する・」としている。使用する素材が合成樹脂の場合、一般に合成樹脂等は温度を下げることでも可撓性も低くなるものであり、変形をを助ける何らかの手段を設けることが望ましい。実施例としてアルミ箔によるものが記載されているが、この場合変形したものは完全には復元できず、使用とともに劣化するものと思われ、使い捨てとして使用するのが望ましいと思われる。 There is no specific description of the pressure-deformable configuration, and in paragraph 11, "... apply pressure by pressing the bottom or opposite side wall of the food storage unit (10) storing the food to be taken out" Then, the food inside is floated and taken out, "... Because pressure deformation is free, the deformed part will return to its original shape by releasing your hand." When the material to be used is a synthetic resin, the synthetic resin or the like generally has low flexibility even when the temperature is lowered, and it is desirable to provide some means for assisting deformation. Although an example using an aluminum foil is described as an example, in this case, the deformed one cannot be completely restored and seems to deteriorate with use, and it is desirable to use it as a disposable.

FIG. When the bottom wall 12 is pushed upward from the outside of the container 1 as indicated by the arrow, the flexible part B42 is stretched and deformed, so that the food frozen in the container 1 and the container 1 are peeled off, Frozen material can be easily taken out, and an easy-to-use freezing container is realized.

図4は実施例4の斜視図であり、容器1の側壁部11にたわみ部A41(4)を設け、且つ、わわみ部の一部を水平方向の断面を波形に曲折させて上に延長し、容器側壁部11の上端部に突起部2を形成した例である。突起部2に指をかけながら矢印が示すように容器の外側に向かって力を加えるとたわみ部A41が引き伸ばされて変形し、容器と内部で凍り付いた食品は容易に剥離され、使い勝手の良い冷凍用容器が実現する。 FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the fourth embodiment, in which a bent portion A41 (4) is provided in the side wall portion 11 of the container 1, and a part of the bent portion is bent upward in a horizontal cross section. In this example, the protrusion 2 is formed on the upper end of the container side wall 11. When a force is applied toward the outside of the container as indicated by an arrow while putting a finger on the protrusion 2, the flexible part A41 is stretched and deformed, and the food that has frozen inside the container is easily peeled off, and is easy to use. Container is realized.

図5は実施例5の斜視図であり、容器側壁部11の上端部に突起部2を形成し、且つ、容器1の底壁部12にたわみ部B42(4)を設けた例である。突起部2に指をかけながら矢印3が示すように容器の外から上方向に向かって底壁部12に力を加えるとたわみ部B42(4)が引き伸ばされて変形し、内部で凍り付いた食品と容器1は容易に剥離される。容器上端の突起部2に指をかけることで上部に向かって力を加えやすく、且つ容器側壁部11を外に向かって広げる力も発生することから、内部で凍り付いた食品と容器1は極めて容易に剥離され、使い勝手の良い冷凍用容器が実現する。 FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the fifth embodiment, in which the protrusion 2 is formed at the upper end of the container side wall 11 and the flexible portion B42 (4) is provided at the bottom wall 12 of the container 1. FIG. When the force is applied to the bottom wall portion 12 from the outside of the container upward as indicated by the arrow 3 while putting a finger on the protruding portion 2, the flexible portion B42 (4) is stretched and deformed, and the food is frozen inside. The container 1 is easily peeled off. By placing a finger on the protrusion 2 at the top of the container, it is easy to apply a force toward the upper part, and a force to spread the container side wall part 11 outward is also generated. A freezing container that is peeled off and easy to use is realized.
