Description

  The present invention relates to a food container suitable for storing a food, particularly a liquid material such as curry roux.

When food such as curry that is covered with a liquid material such as curry roux is stored in a container, the curry roux may be put on the rice in advance. If it did in this way, the rice would absorb the moisture of Carrero and burnt, and the texture was not good.
In addition, rice and curry roux may be separately stored in a container in which two storage portions are formed. By separating and storing in this way, the rice does not burn, but when eating, a small amount of curry roux must be sprinkled with a spoon and put on the rice, which requires troublesome work.

  Therefore, a container has been developed in which a separate container is further stored for the carrail, and when the food is eaten, the separate container is lifted so that the carrail can be put on the rice (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1 below) 2).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-81988 (Claim 1, FIG. 3, etc.) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-15645 (Claim 1, FIG. 2 etc.)

  However, since the container containing the separate container as described above is in a liquid state, when the container is transported, the carrail is likely to flow out and adheres to the edge or peripheral surface of the container, When grabbing the container, the hands were sometimes soiled.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a food container that can be sealed while a liquid material such as Carrero is stored in a separate container and can easily lift the separate container.

  The food container of the present invention comprises a container main body and a single lid covering the container main body, and a sub-accommodating recess capable of storing an auxiliary container having a main storage recess and a protruding piece-shaped knob on the edge of the container body. And the sub-accommodation recess has a fitting portion formed on the lid and a fitting portion that can be fitted in a sealed state at the edge portion, and the knob portion is the fitting portion. When the portion and the fitted portion are fitted, the tip is positioned outside the sub-accommodating concave portion while being sandwiched between them.

  With such a configuration, the auxiliary container can be stored and sealed in the sub-accommodating recess, and the auxiliary container can be stored with the tip of the protruding piece-shaped knob portion positioned outside the sub-accommodating recess. As a result, no curry or the like is attached to the tip of the picked portion, the picked portion can be picked and lifted without soiling the hand, and the curry can be placed on the rice or the like.

  The fitting portion is preferably formed around the edge of the sub-accommodating recess.

  By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easy to seal a liquid material such as carrail.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of a food container of the present invention is described based on a drawing.
1 is a perspective view of a food container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the food container of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of a knob when the auxiliary container is stored in a sub-accommodating recess. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the vicinity of the knob.

As shown in FIG. 1, the food container 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 2, an auxiliary container 3, and a lid 4.
The food container 1 is made of, for example, a thermoplastic resin sheet such as a polystyrene resin sheet, a polyethylene resin sheet, a polypropylene resin sheet, or a polyethylene terephthalate resin sheet, such as vacuum molding, pressure molding, vacuum pressure molding, hot plate molding, or the like. The container main body 2 and the auxiliary container 3 are preferably colored such as white and black, and the lid 4 is preferably colorless such as transparent to translucent.

The container body 2 is formed in a deformed rectangular shape having four sides expanded outward in plan view, and is formed by recessing a main storage recess 21 and a sub storage recess 22.
The main storage recess 21 is formed to be recessed in a crescent shape, and can store staple foods such as rice and noodles. The auxiliary storage recess 23 is recessed in a triangular shape shallower than other parts on one end side. It can store side dishes, pickles, condiments, soy sauce, sauces, etc.
As shown in FIG. 2, a locked portion 25 that is recessed in a curved shape from the inner surface side to the outer surface side is formed on the longitudinal arc side edge portion 24 of the main storage recess 21.

  The auxiliary storage recess 22 is formed adjacent to the main storage recess 21 and recessed in a flat elliptical shape so that the auxiliary container 3 can be stored. As shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, a slanted surface sandwiching portion 27 connecting the inner surface and the upper surface is formed on one end side of the edge portion 26, and the other portion of the edge portion 26 is formed from the inner surface side. A fitted portion 28 which is recessed in a curved shape on the outer surface side is formed in the circumferential direction.

When the auxiliary container 3 is stored in the sub-accommodating recess 22, the edge 31 has a height that is lower than the fitted portion 28, and the auxiliary container 3 can be stored in the sub-accommodating recess 22 without substantial gaps. It is designed to store mainly liquid materials such as meat sauce. On one end side of the edge portion 31 of the auxiliary container 3, a protruding piece-like knob portion 32 having an arcuate tip is formed.
As shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the knob portion 32 is formed so as to be placed on the sandwiching portion 27 when the auxiliary container 3 is stored in the sub-accommodating recess 22, and the top surface of the sandwiching portion 27 or the container body 2. It is formed in the shape of a flake that bends along.

  As shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the lid 4 covers the container main body 2, and bulges the portions corresponding to the main storage recess 21 and the sub storage recess 22 upward, and The corresponding arcuate portion of the longitudinal arc is recessed downward in the shape of a narrow groove, and a locking portion 41 bulging outward is formed on the lower end side thereof, and can be locked to the locked portion 25. It is like that. Further, the periphery of the portion corresponding to the sub-accommodating recess 22 is recessed downward in a narrow groove shape, and a fitting portion 42 bulging outward is formed on the lower end side thereof. 28 can be fitted.

  When covering the food container 1, the auxiliary container 3 is stored in the sub-accommodating recess 22 while placing the knob 32 on the sandwiching portion 27, and then the lid 4 and the locking portion 41 are locked. 25, the fitting portion 42 is fitted to the fitted portion 28. At this time, the knob portion 32 is sandwiched between the fitting portion 42 and the fitted portion 28 and is fitted so that the tip is located outside the auxiliary storage recess 22.

  In the food container 1, the auxiliary container 3 is accommodated in the sub-accommodating recess 22, the sub-accommodating recess 22 is sealed by the fitting portion 42 and the fitted portion 28, and the knob portion 32 is fitted with the sandwiching portion 27. The liquid material stored in the auxiliary container 3 does not flow out because it is sandwiched between the joint portion 42 without any gap. In addition, since the tip of the knob 32 is located outside the sub-accommodation recess 22, the liquid material does not adhere. For this reason, even if the food container 1 is shaken by transportation or the like, the knob 32 does not adhere to the liquid material, and the hand is not soiled when the auxiliary container 3 is lifted.

  The configuration aspect of the above embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention, but can be changed as long as the technical purpose is common, and the present invention includes such a change.

It is a perspective view of the food container of one embodiment of the present invention. It is sectional drawing of the food container of FIG. It is sectional drawing of the knob | pick part vicinity when an auxiliary container is provided in the sub-accommodation recessed part in the food container of FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the vicinity of a knob when an auxiliary container is provided in a sub-accommodating recess in the food container of FIG. 1.
