The structure cut | disconnected to a cross when pushing out and eating is disclosed.
JP 10-86991 A

According to the configuration of Patent Document 1, since the jelly in the mouthful container is extruded in a state of being divided into four equal parts, the problem of clogging the infant's throat is solved, and it is safe. However, since the lower layer film is cut so that the cross-shaped bridge portion remains, when the infant carries the jelly in the bite container to the extrusion port, the tongue is inserted between the cross-shaped bridge portions. Danger of cutting the tongue. Further, since the internal jelly is pushed by a plane perpendicular to the sharp cut portion of the cross-shaped bridge portion, the resistance is large and the cut is not easy. As a result, it is difficult for the infant to push out the jelly, and it is not easy to cut the cross.

The technical problem of the present invention pays attention to such a problem, and the semi-solid food such as jelly in the container does not slide into the consumer's mouth as it is, but is pushed out in a state where it is not divided into the throat. In the container for semi-solid foods, an object is to realize a container and a semi-solid food which are safe even if an infant inserts a tongue, and the semi-solid food inside is easily pushed out and divided.

The technical problem of the present invention is solved by the following means. The first aspect of the present invention is a semi-solid food container characterized in that one or more cut wires are passed and fixed to the opening of a synthetic resin cup. Claim 5 is a semi-solid food characterized in that one or more cut wires are passed and fixed to the opening of a synthetic resin cup containing semi-solid food, and a cover sheet is attached and fixed thereon. is there.

Thus, since the container for semi-solid food of the present invention is fixed by passing one or more cut wires to the opening of the synthetic resin cup, when the semi-solid food in the container is extruded and eaten, The semi-solid food inside comes out while being divided into multiple pieces by one or more cut wires, so there is no danger of clogging in the throat. Moreover, since it will be in the state divided | segmented into plurality when putting out to a plate, it will become a form which is easy to eat with a chopstick or a spoon.

A second aspect of the present invention is the semi-solid food container according to the first aspect, wherein the one or more cut wire rods are arranged in a square shape or a cross shape or in parallel. A sixth aspect of the present invention is the semi-solid food according to the fifth aspect, wherein the one or more cut wire rods are arranged in a square shape or a cross shape or in parallel. Thus, since the one or more cut wire rods are provided in a cross shape, when the semi-solid food in the container is extruded, it is cut into a cross shape and divided into four parts, which makes it easy to eat. There is no danger of clogging the throat. Further, when the one or more cut wire rods are formed in a well shape or in parallel, they are cut in a well shape or in parallel, and therefore can be cut into various forms.

A third aspect of the present invention is the semisolid food container according to the first aspect, wherein the one or more cut wire rods have a net shape. A seventh aspect of the present invention is the semi-solid food according to the fifth aspect, wherein the one or more cut wire rods have a net shape. As described above, since the one or more cut wire rods are in a net shape, when the semi-solid food in the container is extruded, the net-like cut wire rods are extruded in a tokoroten shape. Easy to eat. It can also be sandwiched with chopsticks. Moreover, since it is net-shaped, there is no danger of an infant inserting a tongue and cutting the tongue.

4. The semi-solid food container according to claim 1, wherein the cut wire is made of synthetic resin and has a circular or oval cross-sectional shape. is there. An eighth aspect of the present invention is the semi-solid food according to the fifth, sixth or seventh aspect, wherein the cut wire is made of a synthetic resin and has a circular or oval cross-sectional shape. Thus, since the cut wire is made of synthetic resin and has a circular or elliptical cross-sectional shape, the cut wire has less resistance when extruding the semi-solid food inside the container and is smoothly cut and divided. . Therefore, even an infant or an elderly person can easily extrude the semi-solid food in the container. Further, since the outer diameter of the cut wire is circular or elliptical, there is no danger of cutting the tongue even if the infant inserts the tongue.

A ninth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a notch directed toward the center of the seal sheet is provided in a pinch piece of the seal sheet that covers the cut wire rod. The semi-solid food according to any one of the items. In this way, the cut piece of the seal sheet that is covered from above the cut wire rod has a V-shaped or other cut in the direction of the center of the seal sheet, so one of the cuts is picked and peeled off. Thus, the seal sheet can be easily peeled off in two steps.

Since the container for semi-solid food of the present invention is fixed by passing one or more cut wires to the opening of the synthetic resin cup as in claims 1 and 5, the semi-solid food in the container is extruded. When eating, the semi-solid food in the container comes out while being divided into multiple pieces by one or more cut wires, so there is no danger of clogging in the throat. Moreover, since it will be in the state divided | segmented into plurality when putting out to a plate, it will become a form which is easy to eat with a chopstick or a spoon.

Since the one or more cut wires are passed in a cross shape as in claims 2 and 6, when the semi-solid food in the container is extruded, it is cut into a cross shape and divided into four parts and eaten. It becomes easy. There is no danger of clogging the throat. Further, when the one or more cut wire rods are formed in a well shape or in parallel, they are cut in a well shape or in parallel, and therefore can be cut into various forms.

Since the one or more cut wire rods are in a net shape as in claims 3 and 7, when the semi-solid food in the container is extruded, the net-like cut wire rods are extruded in a tokoroten shape. It becomes a form that is easy for people to eat. It can also be sandwiched with chopsticks. Moreover, since it is net-shaped, there is no danger of an infant inserting a tongue and cutting the tongue.

As described in claims 4 and 8, the cut wire is made of synthetic resin and has a circular or oval cross-sectional shape. Therefore, when the semi-solid food inside the container is extruded, the cut wire receives less resistance and is smooth. It is divided into cuts. Therefore, even an infant or an elderly person can easily extrude the semi-solid food in the container. Further, since the outer diameter of the cut wire is circular or elliptical, there is no danger of cutting the tongue even if the infant inserts the tongue.

As in claim 9, since the V-shaped or other cuts are made toward the center of the seal sheet on the tabs of the seal sheet that are covered from above the cut wire, one of the cuts By picking and peeling, the seal sheet can be easily peeled off in two steps.

Next, an embodiment of how the container for semi-solid food and the semi-solid food according to the present invention are actualized will be described. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a semi-solid food container according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a synthetic resin container in which a semi-solid food such as jelly is filled. A flange 2 is integrally formed at the opening edge of the container 1, and a net 3 is overlapped and joined as a cut wire according to the present invention on the flange 1 so as to be integrated as shown in FIG. By sealing and sealing the sheet 4 for sealing over the net 3, the sales route is distributed or stored.

When eating the semi-solid food in the container 1, the sheet 4 in FIG. 1 is peeled off and the container 1 is crushed with a finger to push out the semi-solid food in the container 1. At this time, since it passes through the net 3, it is in a state where it is divided into a tokoroten shape at the mesh of the net 3. Therefore, there is no danger of swallowing the semi-solid food extruded from the container 1 and clogging the throat. Further, since the tongue cannot be inserted into the mesh of the net 3, there is no danger of cutting the tongue.

The net 3 in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a fine mesh, but the size of the mesh is arbitrary. When the mesh is large, a cut wire 3a having a square shape is formed as shown in FIG. If only the cross-shaped intersection of the well-shaped cut wire 3a is used, the result is as shown in FIG. In the case of the well-shaped cut wire 3a in FIG. 3 or the cross-shaped cut wire 3a in FIG. 4, the infant can insert the tongue through the gap of the cut wire, but the cross-sectional shape of the cut wire is usually circular as shown in the figure. Therefore, there is no danger of cutting the tongue and it is safe. An oval shape is also possible.

The net 3, well-shaped or cross-shaped cut wire rod 3a is suitably made of a strong synthetic resin such as nylon, such as fishing tegus, and is suitable for heat welding to the flange 2 of the container. Is also suitable. In addition, since various kinds of strong mesh nets made of synthetic resin are commercially available, they can be used inexpensively and thermally welded to the flange 2. In the case of the well-shaped cut wire 3a in FIG. 3 or the cross-shaped cut wire 3a in FIG. 4, the wire may be attached and bonded in a well-shape or cross shape instead of the net shape. It is also possible to bond and fix a plurality of cut wires in parallel. 3 and FIG. 4 has a circular cross section, but the heat welded portion to the flange 2 is crushed in a flat shape, so there is no hindrance to the heat seal of the seal sheet 4.

When attaching a cut wire in the shape of a well or cross, an infant may insert the tongue, but if a thicker wire is used, there is less risk of cutting. In the case of using a fine net shape as shown in FIG. 2, resistance when extruding the semi-solid food inside the container is increased, and an infant cannot insert a tongue, so it is preferable to use a thin cut wire. The thinner, the smaller the resistance when extruding a semi-solid food, so that even if a fine net is used, an infant can easily extrude with a light force. The shape of a well or cross is an example, and one cut wire may be attached to divide the opening of the container into two, or two or more cut wires may be attached in parallel. Possible and can be arranged freely. Since the semi-solid food in the container is cooled by filling the semi-solid food melted from above the cut wire 3 and 3a with the cut wire 3 and 3a being heat-welded to the flange 2, there is no particular problem.

As shown in FIG. 1, there are many structures in which a tongue-shaped protruding portion 2 a is provided on a part of the container flange 2, and a knob piece of the seal sheet 4 is stacked thereon. Usually, the knob piece is a protruding portion. Since it has the same shape as 2a, it is difficult for an infant to grip and remove the pick piece with a finger. In the present invention, since the V-shaped notch 4a is put in the knob piece toward the center of the seal sheet 4, one of the knob pieces 4b or 4c of the notch 4a is grasped with a finger and only one of them is peeled off. Then, the notch 4a is easily and naturally torn to the seal sheet 4, and only one half is peeled off. Next, when the remaining tab 4c or 4b is gripped and peeled off, the remaining half of the seal sheet 4 is peeled off. As a result, although the number of operations increases twice, even a weak child or an elderly person can easily peel the entire seal sheet 4 with a light force. Note that the present invention is not limited to the V-shape, and it is also effective to provide a notch that divides the knob piece in two toward the center of the seal sheet.

As described above, according to the present invention, since one or more cut wires are attached and fixed to the opening of the synthetic resin cup in a well shape, a cross shape, or a net shape, there is no risk that an infant will cut the tongue. Semi-solid foods, such as internal jelly, are easily extruded and divided. Therefore, it is suitable for uses such as konjac jelly that is filled with semi-solid foods that are difficult to be chewed and eaten with a bite.

It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the container for semi-solid food by this invention. It is a perspective view of the container for semi-solid food in the state where the net-like cut wire was attached and fixed. It is a perspective view of the container which attached the cut wire to the shape of a well. It is a perspective view of the container which attached the cut wire to the cross shape.
