Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide packaged boiled rice lumps obtained by packaging a plurality of the small boiled rice lumps with a packaging sheet into a nearly hexahedron so as to have a small volume and so that sheet-shaped laver charged in the packaging sheet may automatically and directly cover the small boiled rice lump when the package is untied. <P>SOLUTION: The packaged boiled rice lumps are constituted as follows. The packaging sheet 1 sandwiches the laver 41 between the outside film 2 and the inside film 3, wherein the outside film has a part 21 dividable in the longitudinal direction, and the inside film 3 is obtained by mutually overlapping inside edges along the longitudinal directions of two sheets of film fragments 31 and 31 on the dividable part 21 of the outside film 2. The film fragments 31 and 31 have covering films 32 and 32 for packaging right and left terminal parts of the boiled rice lumps 5 to be packaged. The boiled rice lumps 5 are put on the inside film of the packaging sheet so that the axis center of each of the small boiled rice lumps 51 may be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet. After packaging both the terminals of the boiled rice lumps with the film 32, the packaging sheet is strongly wound for one round along the surface of the boiled rice lumps in the plane orthogonal to the arranging direction of the small boiled rice lumps, and the end terminal of the winding is attached so as to be immovable. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a packaged rice chunk in which small chunks of rice are accommodated in a packaging bag.

As a packaging sheet for “wrapping rice balls” sold at convenience stores and the like, a triple-structured sheet formed by sandwiching a sheet-like seaweed between an outer film and an inner film is widely known.
The outer film has a part that can be divided in the longitudinal direction at the center in the width direction, the inner film consists of two film pieces, and the inner ends of the film pieces can be separated from each other. Overlaid on the club.

The “triangle wrapping rice ball” formed by folding the packaging sheet along the triangle shape of rice ball rice does not wet the sheet-like seaweed until the packaging is unwound. When the packaging is unwound, only the sheet-like seaweed remains and is directly covered with rice balls.
Even a bite-sized chunk of rice can be packaged so that when the packaging is unwrapped as described above, the small rice cake is covered directly with sheet-like seaweed, but in terms of cost and small rice cake one by one There is a troublesome problem of unpacking.

Therefore, the applicant has previously proposed a packaged rice lump that can reduce costs and reduce the trouble of unpacking by storing a plurality of small rice lump together in a bag (Patent Document 1).
As shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of small chunks of rice (51) (51) (51) are placed side by side on a central portion of the inner film of the packaging sheet (60). The packaging sheet (60) is folded in a U-shape with the lump (5) in between, and folded on the inner sides of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet (60) to form a collar part (61) to form a packaging bag with an upper end opening ( 6) is formed, and the upper end of the flange part (61) is folded inward to seal the opening of the packaging bag (6) (63).

JP-A-2005-34010

In the case of the packaged rice chunk of Patent Document 1, the height of the packaging bag (6) is 1.5 times the height of the rice chunk (5), and the upper ends of the left and right hooks (61) are folded inward. In order to seal the opening, a triangular roof portion (62) having a space inside is formed in the upper portion of the packaging bag (6).
The triangular roof portion (62) is merely a useless portion that only makes the packed rice lump bulky.
If the packaged rice lump becomes bulky, it will cost money because it takes up space for transportation and display. Further, since the triangular roof portion (62) is a space, the triangular roof portion (62) is deformed even by a weak external force, thereby impairing the commercial value. In addition, in order to form the triangular roof portion (62), an extra film of the packaging sheet is required, which also increases the cost.

  The present invention wraps a plurality of small chunks of rice in a rectangular parallelepiped shape without wasteful bulging. It is intended to clarify the packaged rice lump that can be put on.

The packaged rice lump of claim 1 is a rectangular rice lump in a state in which a plurality of short columnar small lump (51) are aligned in height and adjacent small lump (51) (51) are in contact with each other. 5) Wrapped rice cake wrapped in packaging sheet (1),
The packaging sheet (1) has a rectangular sheet-like food (4) sandwiched between a rectangular outer film (2) and an inner film (3), respectively, and the outer film (2) is in the longitudinal direction at a substantially central portion in the width direction. The inner film (3) has an inner edge along the longitudinal direction of the two film pieces (31) (31) on the separable part (21) of the outer film (2). In the film pieces (31) and (31), the covering films (32) and (32) wrapping the left and right ends of the rice chunk (5) to be wrapped are in the longitudinal direction of the outer film (2). Protruding from the outer edge along the outside,
The rice cake (5) is placed on the inner film (3) of the packaging sheet (1) so that the axis of each small rice cake (51) is along the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet. After wrapping both ends with the covering film (32), the wrapping sheet (1) is strongly wound around the surface of the rice chunk (5) in a plane perpendicular to the direction of arrangement of the small rice chunks (51). Formed by fastening the winding end (14),
The sheet-like food (4) is provided with intermittent cuts (42) corresponding to the boundaries (52) of the adjacent small rice chunks (51) (51) (51) of the rice chunk (5). Yes.

  Claim 2 is the packaged rice lump of claim 1, wherein the covering film (32) is welded to the inner film (3), and the welding line (33) is along the longitudinal direction of the inner film (3). Located inside the outer edge (34).

  Since the wrapping sheet (1) is wrapped around the surface of the wrapping bag (6) and wrapped around it once, there is no useless bulge like the triangular roof part (62) of Patent Document 1, so The bulk can be reduced. In addition, there are no parts to be crushed even if the packed rice chunks are stacked, so many packed rice chunks can be packed in a limited space such as a return bag or a showcase that is used for transportation without being deformed. Can do.

  Moreover, since a plurality of small rice cakes (51) are not individually packaged but are packaged together by the packaging sheet (1), the packaging cost can be reduced. Moreover, since the time and labor for unpacking is only one time, no time is required.

In the state where the rice cake (5) is packaged, the sheet-like food (4) is blocked from the rice cake (5) by the inner film (3) and from the outside air by the outer film (2). Unaffected by lumps (5) and wet air.
Even if the sheet-like food (4) is a damp food such as the sheet-like seaweed (41), the flavor and texture can be maintained.
Since the rice cake (5) itself is also shielded from the outside air by the packaging sheet (1) and the covering films (32) and (32), it is prevented that the rice cake (5) is dried and the flavor is lowered.

When the outer film (2) is divided into two parts by the severable part (21) and then the packaging sheet (1) is pulled in a direction perpendicular to the severing part, the sheet film (4) is left and the inner film (3) Both film pieces (31) and (31) are pulled out together, and the sheet-like food (4) directly covers the rice chunk (5).
To eat the rice cake (5), grab the rice cake (5) with one hand from the top of the sheet-like food (4) and the small piece at one end from the top of the sheet-like food (4) with the other hand. Grab the rice cake (51) and pull it away from the adjacent rice cake (51).
Since the sheet-like food (4) is provided with intermittent cuts (42) corresponding to the small chunks of rice, when the small chunks (51) are pulled away, the intermittent cuts (42) The sheet-like food (4) is divided, and the small rice cake (51) is pulled away in a state where the divided sheet-like food pieces are covered.
Thereby, the small rice lump (51) covered with the sheet-like food piece can be eaten.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the rice block (5) to be packaged is brought down.
The rice chunk (5) is an assembly of a plurality of small rice cakes (51), (51) and (51) in the form of short prisms in the embodiment.
The small-corned rice cakes (51), (51), and (51) have a square shape with a side of about 3 cm and a bite size of about 6 cm in length.
The three small rice chunks (51), (51), and (51) are aligned in parallel in the same plane with their heights aligned, and the adjacent small rice chunks (51), (51), and (51) are in contact with each other.

In the embodiment, one rice lump is embossed to form a rice lump (5) in a state where the small rice lump (51) (51) (51) is connected, and the adjacent small rice lump (51) A groove (53) is formed by embossing at the boundary (52) of (51).
The overall size of the rice chunk (5) is as follows: horizontal length (L): 10 cm, height (H): 6 cm, thickness (W): 3 cm.
Small rice chunks (51), (51) and (51) are chunks of white rice or baked rice, and sprinkled food (54) such as sesame may be sprinkled partially or entirely.

FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 4 has shown the packaging sheet (1) for packaging the said rice lump (5).
The packaging sheet (1) is formed by sandwiching a rectangular sheet-like food (4) between a rectangular transparent outer film (2) and a translucent inner film (3).

The outer film (2) is formed of a polypropylene resin having good weldability and has a length of about 20 cm and a width of about 12 cm.
The length of the outer film (2) is slightly more than twice the length of the lump (5) plus the height H and thickness W, and the width is about 2cm in the lateral length L of the lump (5). It is the added length.

The outer film (2) has a separable portion (21) at the center in the width direction, which can split the film in the length direction over the entire length.
The severable part (21) of the embodiment is formed by a cut tape (22).
The cut tape (22) is obtained by adhering a thin strip tape to the outer film (2). By pulling one end of the narrow tape, the outer film (2) can be torn with the tape width.
At one end of the outer film (2), a cut tape (22) is sandwiched, and a short cut (23) (23) is made in parallel with the cut tape (22) close to the cut tape (22).

As shown in FIG. 1, the inner film (3) has three numbers “1”, “2” and “3” indicating the order of unpacking, and arrows (24), (25), (26) indicating the film pulling direction. Is printed.
The number “1” is marked in the vicinity of the notch (23), which is the splitting start end of the splittable portion (21).
In the vicinity of the numeral “1”, an arrow (24) directed to the other end of the separable portion (21) is marked.
The number “2” is marked a little closer to the arrow (24) side than the center side in the length direction of the outer film (2) and closer to the right end of the film.
An outward arrow (25) is marked near the number “2”.
The numeral “3” and the arrow (26) are marked at positions symmetrical to the numeral “2” and the arrow (25) with the severable part (21) as the center.
As shown in FIG. 7, the number “1” and the arrow (24) are located on the upper surface of the wrapping rice lump in the standing state, and “2”, “3” and arrows (25) and (26) are on the front of the wrapping rice lump. They are located (FIG. 7 does not show them in FIG. 7 since the packaged rice chunk is viewed from the back side).

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the inner film (3) has two rectangular film pieces (31) and (31) having the same rectangular shape, and the inner width along the longitudinal direction of each other is 0.5 to 1 cm. It is formed by overlapping.
The film pieces (31) and (31) are formed of polypropylene resin in the same manner as the outer film (2). The film pieces (31) and (31) are matted so that the surface is polished and glass-like so that the film pieces are not easily caught by the lump of rice.
The contour size of the inner film (3) is the same as the contour size of the outer film (2).

The sheet-like food (4) is a sheet-like seaweed (41) in the examples.
The sheet-like seaweed (41) has a length of about 18 cm and a width of about 10 cm. The length is approximately twice the length of the rice mass (5) plus the height H and thickness W, and the width is long. The length is substantially the same as the horizontal length L of the rice lump (5).
Briefly explaining the size of the sheet-like seaweed (41), as shown in FIG. 9, the front, bottom, back and top surfaces of the standing rice lump (5) are made once, and each side is hidden. The size that can be.

  On the outer film (2), the sheet-like seaweed (41) and the inner film (3) are overlaid so that their centers coincide with each other. The inner film (3) is welded. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numerals (11) and (12) indicate welding lines in which the outer film (2) and the inner film (3) are welded. In the weight part (30) of the film pieces (31) and (31) of the inner film (3), the inner film (3) and the outer film (2) are not welded.

In the packaging sheet (1), as shown in FIG. 2, the film pieces (31) and (31) of the inner film (3) are covered with films (32) (32) for wrapping both ends of the rice cake (5). 32) is projected.
The covered films (32) and (32) have a rectangular shape with a length of 10 to 12 cm and a width of 8 cm. The film pieces (31) and (31) have a T-shape symmetrically to the inner film (3). The inner end side in the length direction is welded to both film pieces (31) and (31) of the inner film (3) so as to protrude outward.

In FIG. 2, the code | symbol (33) has shown the welding line with respect to the film piece (31) of a covering film (32), and this welding line (33) (33) is an outer side along the longitudinal direction of an inner film (3). Located parallel to the edge (34) and about 1 cm inward from the outer edge.
The interval between the welding lines (33) and (33) of the covered films (32) and (32) is substantially the same as the lateral length L of the rice chunk (5).
As shown in FIG. 6, the size of the outer portion from the welding line (33) of the film piece (31) is a size that wraps around the left and right ends of the standing rice cake (5).

However, as shown in FIG. 6, the standing rice cake (5) is placed along the width direction of the sheet on the central portion of the packaging sheet (1) with the inner film (3) facing up, and left and right film pieces. (31) Raise (31) and wrap both ends of the rice cake (5). After folding the upper ends of the standing film pieces (31) and (31) onto the rice chunk (5), the packaging sheet (1) is wrapped so that both ends of the packaging sheet (1) overlap with the upper end surface of the rice chunk (5). (1) is wound along the surface of the rice lump (5), and the winding end (14) is welded (see FIG. 7). At this time, the cuts (23) and (23) of the outer film (2) are set to be the winding end.
In FIG. 7, reference numerals (13) and (13) denote welding wires at the winding end of the packaging sheet (1).

  The packaged rice cake is simple and wasteful because the packaging sheet (1) is wound along the front, bottom, back and top surfaces of the rice cake (5), and no extra space is created. Exhibits the appearance of a flat cuboid. Moreover, since the covering film (32) which wraps the both ends of the rice lump (5) is located behind the side edge along the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet (1), the left and right edges of the flat rectangular parallelepiped are sharp. Therefore, a beautiful three-dimensional shape can be formed.

Next, a procedure for unpacking the packaged rice cake and eating the rice cake (5) will be described.
Pinch the cut end (23) (23) on the outer film (2) at the winding end (14) of the packaging sheet (1) and pull the cut tape (22) in the anti-winding direction of the packaging sheet (1) The outer film (2) is divided.
Next, one of the left and right sides of the packaging sheet (1) including one of the divided outer films (2) is pulled out. At this time, since the outer part (10) can be picked and pulled from the covering film (32) of the packaging sheet (1) shown in FIG. 8, workability is good.
Half of the outer film (2), one film piece (31) of the inner film (3), and the covering film (32) welded to the film piece (31) are pulled out together.
The half of the outer film (2) remaining on the rice cake (5), the other film piece (31), and the other cover film (32) are similarly pulled out together.

  The procedure for unpacking the packaged rice chunk (5) is indicated on the packaging sheet (1) by the numbers “1”, “2”, “3” indicating the procedure and arrows (24), (25), (26) indicating the pulling direction. It is easy to understand, and if you follow that, there will be no failure.

Only the sheet-like seaweed (41) remains and directly covers the lump (5), and the intermittent cut (42) of the sheet-like seaweed (41) ) (51) is aligned with the boundary (52).
When the small rice cake (51) at one end of the rice cake (5) is divided at the boundary (52), the sheet-like seaweed (41) is cut at the position of the intermittent cut (42) corresponding to the boundary (52). A small chunk of rice (51) covered with slices and sheet-like seaweed (41) can be eaten.

  The above description of the embodiments is for explaining the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention described in the claims or reducing the scope thereof. In addition, the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the technical scope described in the claims.

For example, the size and number of small rice chunks (51) constituting the rice chunk (5) may be determined as appropriate. In that case, what is necessary is just to make a packaging sheet (1) into an optimal magnitude | size as needed.
The shape of the small rice cake (51) constituting the rice cake (5) is not limited to a substantially prismatic shape, and may be a substantially cylindrical shape.
Further, the sheet-like food (4) is not limited to the sheet-like seaweed (41), and it may hinder the folding of the packaging sheet (1), such as those obtained by forming a rag kombu into a sheet shape or thinly extending a rice cake. Any thin food that doesn't become necessary.
