Description

  The present invention relates to a lid for sealing a container such as food.

  Foods such as instant yakisoba with cups and instant spaghetti with cups need to be subjected to hot water treatment and heating by pouring hot water at the time of eating and draining hot water after a predetermined time has elapsed. As a lid of a processed food container that requires hot water treatment such as these dry noodles, there is known one provided with a hot water cutting hole for draining hot water. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a lid 901 shown in FIG. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the lid body 901 and the container 920 along the line BB ′ in FIG. The lid 901 is sealed at the periphery of the opening of the container 920 to seal the container 920. The lid 901 is formed of a laminated body including a base material 902 that is sealed to the container 920 and a surface material 903 that is detachably laminated with the base material 902.

  An opening tab 904 is provided at one position on the peripheral edge of the lid 901. Further, a peeling half-cut 905 extending from the surface material 903 of the lid 901 to the inside of the base material 902 is formed. Further, on the opposite side of the unsealing tab 904 across the peeling half-cut 905, a hole-shaped half-cut half-cut 906 is formed from the base 902 side of the lid 901, and the peripheral edge 1 is formed. A peeling tab 907 is provided at the location.

  An example of the procedure for the hot water treatment will be described. First, the opening tab 904 is pinched, the cover body 901 is peeled off from the container 920 together with the base material 902, partially opened and poured, and then the opening tab 904 is returned to the original state and the cover is closed again. Refrigerate (steam) processed foods such as dry noodles contained in the container. To do. Then, the tab 907 for peeling is pinched and the surface material 903 of the cover body 901 is partially peeled and removed. At this time, the peeling of the surface material 903 does not proceed beyond the peeling half-cut 905. In addition, a portion of the base material 902 surrounded by the hot water cut hole half cut 906 is removed along with the surface material 903. Thereby, only the base material 902 in which the hot water cutting hole is formed remains in the container in the portion surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 14, and the hot water cutting portion 908 is formed. Finally, the hot water is removed from the hot water cutting hole, and the entire lid 901 including the hot water cutting portion 908 is removed from the container 920, so that the food treated with hot water can be eaten.

  FIG. 15 is an enlarged view of the lid body 901 included in the region surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. With reference to FIG. 15, an example of the layer structure of such a conventional lid 901 will be described. The surface material 903 of the lid 901 has a layer configuration of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) / PE (polyethylene) from the outer side of the container 920 toward the inner side. Further, the base material 902 of the lid 901 has a layer structure of paper layer / PE / aluminum foil / sealant from the side in contact with the surface material 903 toward the inside of the container 920.

Japanese Patent No. 4369713

  However, such a conventional lid has a problem that the strength of the base material is insufficient and the substrate is easily broken. For example, at the time of draining hot water, the portion between the hot water cut holes is broken, the hole diameter is enlarged, and the food may flow out. Further, when the hot water drainage part is pulled and removed from the container for eating, the pulled part is broken, and the part sealed with the container remains, which may interfere with eating.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a lid body that increases the strength of the hot water cutting portion and is not easily broken.

  The present invention provides a sheet-like base material and a surface material that are detachably laminated, a part of the base material provided with a plurality of annular half cuts that penetrate the base material, and the surface covering a part of the base material By peeling off a part of the material, a lid body in which a plurality of hot water cut holes appear on the base material, the base material is a laminate including a layer of PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

  Further, the surface material includes a layer structure of PET / adhesive / printing layer / paper layer / sealing varnish layer / release varnish layer in order from the surface, and the base material is PE / PET / adhesion in order from the side in contact with the surface material. It is preferable to include a layer structure of agent / aluminum foil / sealant.

The lid 101 is sealed at the periphery of the opening of the container 120 and seals the container 120. Further, the lid body 101 is formed of a laminated body including a base material 102 that is sealed by the container 120 and a surface material 103 that is detachably laminated with the base material 102.

  FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view schematically enlarging a portion surrounded by a one-dot chain line in FIG. The layer structure of the lid 101 will be described with reference to FIG. The surface material 103 of the lid 101 has a layer configuration of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) / adhesive / printing layer / paper layer / sealing varnish layer / peeling varnish layer from the outer side of the container 120 toward the inner side. have. The base material 102 of the lid 101 has a layer structure of PE / PET / adhesive / aluminum foil / sealant from the side in contact with the surface material 103 toward the inside of the container 120. In this embodiment, LTS (low temperature sealant) is used as the sealant layer, but other sealants may be used.

  As the peeling varnish, for example, a wax-based, polyamide-based, silicon-based, or acrylic resin-based one is preferably used. In order to prevent impregnation of the release varnish into the paper, a sealing varnish layer is provided between the release varnish layer and the paper layer. As the sealing varnish, for example, nitrified cotton, urethane, wax, polyamide, silicon, and acrylic resin are preferably used.

  With reference to FIG.1 and FIG.2, the shape of the cover body 101 is demonstrated. An opening tab 104 is provided at one location on the peripheral edge of the lid 101. The opening tab 104 is not formed with a half cut, and the force applied to the opening tab 104 is also transmitted to the base material 102. All 102 can be peeled off from the container 120 and opened (opened). Further, the perforation 105 for peeling is formed on the paper layer included in the surface material 103. Further, on the opposite side of the unsealing tab 104 with the peeling perforation 105 interposed therebetween, a circular hot-cut hole half-cut 106 is formed from the base 102 side of the lid 101, and at the peripheral portion. A peeling tab 107 is provided. The peeling tab 107 is provided at a position close to the peeling perforation 105. A peeling start half cut 109 for cutting the base material 102 is formed at a connection portion between the peeling tab 107 and the lid 101.

  An example of the procedure for the hot water treatment will be described. First, the opening tab 104 is turned, and the cover 101 is peeled off from the container 120 together with the base material 102 as shown in FIG. And after pouring, the open part of the cover body 101 is pressed again, it suppresses that a heat | fever escapes from an opening, and waits for predetermined time. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, when the peeling tab 107 is turned, the peeling between the base material 102 and the surface material 103 starts from the peeling start half-cut 109, and the surface material 103 becomes the peeling perforation 105. It is completely peeled while being cut along. At this time, the portion surrounded by the half cut 106 for the hot water cut hole of the base material 102 is removed along with the surface material 103, so the hot water cut hole 110 is formed in the base material 102 remaining in the container 120. Is done. That is, by removing the surface material 103 in the region where the hot water cut hole half-cut 106 of the lid 101 is formed (portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 7), the hot water cut made only of the base material 102 in the region. Part 108 is formed. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8, the hot water-treated food can be eaten by draining the hot water from the hot water cutting hole 110 and removing the entire lid 101 including the hot water cutting portion 108 from the container 120.

  In the lid 101 according to the present embodiment, the hot water cutting portion 108 can be made difficult to break by using PET having strength as the base material 102.

(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The lid 201 according to the present embodiment and the shape of the container with the lid 201 sealed are the same as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the top view and bottom view of the lid 201 and the perspective view and cross-sectional view of the lid 201 and the container are the same as those in FIGS. FIG. 9 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the layer configuration of the lid 201 as in FIG. The lid 201 according to this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in which the peeling half cut 205 is formed on the surface material 203 side and the peeling perforation 105 is formed on the paper layer. The hot water cut hole half-cut 206 is the same as the hot water cut hole half cut 106 of the first embodiment.

  In the lid body 201 according to the present embodiment, when performing hot water treatment, the hot water cutting portion is formed by removing the surface material 203 along the peeling half-cut 205. In the first embodiment, only the paper layer of the surface material 103 includes the peeling perforation 105, and the PET layer of the surface material 103 is connected across the peeling perforation 105. Due to the connection of the PET layer and the influence of anisotropy, when the surface material 103 is peeled off, the surface material 103 is cut at a position shifted from the peeling perforation 105 and there is a possibility that the cut portion is disturbed. On the other hand, in the lid 201 according to this embodiment, since the peeling half-cut 205 is formed on the surface material 203, the surface material 203 is moved along the peeling half-cut 205 when the surface material 203 is peeled off. Can be easily removed.

  In addition to the shapes shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there are various lid shapes, such as the position and number of peeling tabs, the position and shape of hot water cutting holes, the position and shape of the half-cut for peeling, and the like. There are variations, but any shape may be combined with each of the above layer configurations. As an example of variation, a lid 701 is shown in FIGS. FIG. 10 is a plan view of the lid body 701 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a bottom view of the lid body 701. In the lid body 701, the peeling tab 707 and the peeling start half-cut 709 are provided just opposite to the opening tab 704 across the center of the lid body 701. Further, the peeling half-cut 705 is provided in a curved shape surrounding the peeling tab 707. Also in the lid body 701, as shown in FIG. 12, like the lid body 101, the surface material 703 is completely peeled while being cut along the peeling half-cut 705 by turning the peeling tab 707. At this time, the portion surrounded by the half-cut 706 for the hot water cut hole of the base material 702 is removed along with the surface material 703, so that the hot water cut hole 710 is formed in the base material 702 remaining in the container 720. Is done.

  As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to make it difficult to break the hot water cut portion of the lid by using PET having strength as the base material. Thereby, it can prevent that the part between hot water cutting holes fractures | ruptures at the time of hot water discharge, and a hole diameter expands, and a foodstuff flows out. Further, when the hot water drainage portion is pulled and removed from the container, it is possible to prevent the hot water drainage portion from remaining and hindering eating.

  The present invention is useful for a lid for sealing containers such as food.
