Description

  The present invention relates to a food container for storing food such as lunch boxes and side dishes sold at supermarkets and convenience stores.

Conventionally, this type of food container is a container main body in which food is stored, a lid that can cover the opening of the container main body in a sealed state, and a state in which the cover covers the opening of the container main body in a sealed state One end portion fixed by the above is adhesively fixed to the lid, and the other end portion is composed of at least two adhesive tapes fixedly bonded to the container body.

For this reason, although it can fix with an adhesive tape, without removing a lid | cover to a container main body, there existed a fault that it cannot discriminate | determine when an adhesive tape is removed illegally and it returns to the original state.
nothing special

    In the present invention, in view of the above-described conventional drawbacks, when the adhesive tape is illegally removed, the state where the adhesive tape is clearly removed can be visually confirmed, and a special adhesive tape is not used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food container that can be manufactured inexpensively and can ensure safety by using an inexpensive adhesive tape depending on the cut state of the adhesive tape used so far.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container main body in which food is stored, a lid that can cover the opening of the container main body in a sealed state, and the lid in a state in which the opening of the container main body is sealed. In a food container comprising at least two or more adhesive tapes, one end part of which is fixed in a covered state being adhesively fixed to the lid and the other end part adhesively fixed to the container body, the adhesive tape is bonded to at least one end part of the adhesive tape A food container is formed by forming a notch in the length direction of the tape.

  As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) A container body in which food is stored, a lid that can cover the opening of the container body in a sealed state, and one end that fixes the lid in a state of covering the opening of the container body in a sealed state A food container comprising at least two or more adhesive tapes bonded and fixed to the lid and having the other end bonded and fixed to the container main body, wherein at least one end of the adhesive tape is cut in the lengthwise direction of the adhesive tape If the adhesive tape is illegally removed, the adhesive tape can be cut from the end portion of the cutout portion by the cutout portion in the length direction formed at least at one end portion of the adhesive tape. .
Therefore, a part of one end part of the adhesive tape remains, and it can be confirmed at a glance whether the adhesive tape has been removed illegally.
Therefore, fraud prevention can be achieved.

(2) According to the above (1), it is only necessary to form a cutout portion in the length direction at least at one end portion of the adhesive tape, so that the structure is simple and can be implemented without increasing the cost.

(3) In claim 2, the same effect as in the above (1) and (2) can be obtained, and the adhesive tape in which a part of one end portion is left by the print portion can be more easily confirmed, and the mark With this, the adhesive tape can be easily removed.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the best mode for carrying out the invention shown in the drawings.

  In the best mode for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, reference numeral 1 denotes a food container for storing food such as lunch boxes and prepared foods according to the present invention. A rectangular container body 5 in which a lid fitting piece 4 having an angled cross section is formed having arcuate flange portions 3 and 3 projecting outwardly at the center of one opposed portion of the opening end portion where the container is stored. A lid 7 made of a transparent material having a fitting portion 6 formed on the outer peripheral portion to be fitted and fixed to the lid fitting piece 4 of the container main body 5, and an outer peripheral portion of the lid 7. Further, a protrusion-like load-dissipation prevention ring 9 in which flat surfaces 8 and 8 are formed in a portion located in the central portion of the arc-shaped flange portions 3 and 3 into which the outer peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the container body 5 enters, and the lid 7 and an adhesive tape 10 and 10 for fixing the container body 5 with the flat surfaces 8 and 8 of the lid 7. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the adhesive tapes 10 and 10 have a strip-shaped print portion 11 with a mark 11a in the opening direction so that the central portion is colored in a strip shape, and cutout portions 12 in the length direction at both ends. , 12 are used.

After the food container 1 having the above configuration is fitted to the lid fitting piece 4 of the container body 5 so as to cover the fitting portion 6 of the lid 7 in a sealed state, the adhesive tape 10 is applied to the flat surfaces 8 and 8 of the lid 7. Since one end of 10 is stuck and the other end is stuck to the outer peripheral part of the container body 5 of the part, when stacked, the container body is placed in the load prevention ring 9 of the lid 7 as shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent the lower portion of 5 from being securely stored and being loaded.

In addition, when an attempt is made to illegally remove the adhesive tapes 10 and 10, as shown in FIG. 9, the finger is applied to the gap 5a where the adhesive tapes 10 and 10 are not bonded to the container body 5 and the lid 7. When it is inserted and the adhesive tapes 10 and 10 are pulled out, the end portions 10a and 10a of the adhesive tapes 10 and 10 are left by the notches 12 and 12 at both ends of the adhesive tapes 10 and 10. It can be visually confirmed that the adhesive tapes 10, 10 have been cut off and removed illegally.
