Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a lid for instant cup food, a container with a lid provided with the lid, and an instant cup food, and more particularly, to remove a residue (solid matter) such as noodles and ingredients remaining in the container after the meal. The present invention relates to an instant cup food lid that can be separated and processed from a soup (liquid material) by a filtration part provided on the food lid, a lidded container provided with the lid, and an instant cup food.

  Conventional instant cup noodles (instant noodles) and instant cup foods without noodles were peeled off by injecting hot water from the open container opening after peeling the container lid from the container body (cup). Recap the lid. Then, the heavy food is placed on the lid to prevent the lid from peeling off, and after waiting for a certain period of time, the instant food is warmed, and then the lid is removed again to eat.

  However, in the case of conventional instant food containers, when processing residues such as soup and ingredients left after eating, it is difficult to process depending on the location. For example, when eating instant food in the home, the soup (liquid) can be separated from the residue (solid) such as noodles and ingredients by using the triangular corner provided in the kitchen. However, when eating instant noodles etc. on the go, it is difficult to separate the soup from noodles, ingredients and other food residues, so the soup should be poured into the sewage with the residue contained. In addition, it was necessary to forcibly dry the soup in order not to leave leftovers.

  Also, when using triangular corners at home, depending on the type of triangular corner, there are things that can only handle relatively large waste such as vegetable spats and cabbage cores, ingredients for instant cup foods, etc. In some cases, when the waste was relatively small, it could pass through the eyes of the triangular corners and was useless.

Moreover, the following is disclosed regarding the prior art of instant noodles and other instant food containers.
In the one disclosed in Patent Document 1, a flange portion surrounding an opening edge is formed in a cup-shaped container body, and at least a part of the flange portion extends from the inside of the flange portion to the upper portion of the side wall of the container body. Forming a groove portion for sealing, sealing the entire surface of the flange portion with a sheet-like sealing member so as to be peeled off, and forming a sealing member for hot water cutting that forms a part of the sealing member on the flange portion where the groove portion for hot water cutting is formed The instant noodle storage container is characterized in that it can be peeled off from the sealing member so that the outlet of the hot water draining groove portion appears.

  However, the container described in Patent Document 1 is characterized in that hot water is discharged from the hot water draining groove, and has a mechanism for treating residues such as soup and ingredients left after eating. It is not a thing.

  The thing disclosed in Patent Document 2 is that a film body for filtration is provided on the inner edge of the instant noodle container, so that only soup is left in the film body from soup containing leftovers such as noodles and ingredients. It is a soup removal system in a container for instant noodles characterized in that it is filtered and discharged to the outside so that the leftovers are left in the container for easy eating.

  However, the thing of the said patent document 2 aims at making it easy to eat the leftover food settled in the container by filtering the soup, and if the filtering function is left inside the instant noodle container. It is very inconvenient when eating instant noodles.Furthermore, if the membrane for filtration is adhered with an adhesive or the like, there is a risk that the membrane for filtration will be peeled off by the steam of instant noodles, Many issues remain in terms of practical use.

  In addition to this, there are many prior arts related to the manufacturing method and cooking process of instant noodles themselves, but there are few prior arts that focus on the treatment of leftovers after meals. For this reason, development of the technique which makes it easy to process the leftover after a meal by filtering soup etc. was desired.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the instant cup food lid according to the first embodiment includes a substantially circular lid base material 22 having a lid knob 21 and substantially half of the lid base material 22. A filtration part 40 formed of a half-moon-shaped net having a semicircular edge bonded to the lid substrate 21 and covering the entire filtration part 40 and its outer peripheral part. It is the lid 20 for instant cup foods of the structure provided with the filtration part coating | cover cover 30 stuck in the peelable state.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the instant cup food lid 20 of the present embodiment is usually attached to the upper opening of the body (cup) 10 to form a lidded container for instant cup food. After the foodstuff of instant food is put into the container, the circular portion of the lid for instant cup food 20 is peelable from the opening of the container body 10 so as to cover the upper surface of the container body 10. Bonded and used as instant cup food.

  The filtration unit 40 is for separating the residue (solid) and the soup (liquid) remaining after eating the instant cup food by a normal method. It is located in the semicircular part on the opposite side to the position where the lid knob 21 is located (the position facing the substantially circular center) on the inner surface of the lid when closing.

  The size of the filtration unit 40 occupies 50% (preferably within a range of 20 to 80%) of the entire area of one surface of the lid base material 22 from the point of being able to improve the filtration function, and leaks soup containing residue. It becomes the size which can be poured into the filtration part 40 without. In addition, since the lid 20 for instant cup foods of this embodiment is a lid used for bowl-shaped instant cup foods as the container 10, the size conforms to the size of the container 10, and the size of the filtration unit 40 is also the same. The thing along this is preferable.

  The filtration unit 40 has a straight and semicircular outer periphery, and uses a half-moon-like net-like material that is approximately half the size of the lid base material 21, and the semicircular circle edge of the lid base material 21 It is formed by adhering and sticking. Since the straight portion of the net-like material (the portion corresponding to the substantially circular diameter of the lid base material 21) is a passage for passing the object to be filtered together with the half surface of the lid base material 21, it is bonded to the lid base material 21. Not.

  When the filtration function as the filtration unit 40 is exhibited, as shown in FIG. 3, after the meal, the lid knob 21 is positioned on the upper side, and the semicircular shape of the filtration unit 40 is on the lower side. The spout of the residue in the part 40 is enlarged. For example, a force is applied from the left and right of the filtration unit 40 so that the upper part (straight line part) of the net-like material and the surface of the lid base material 21 are separated from each other so that the soup containing the residue can be easily poured.

  The spread size of the mesh that forms the filtration unit 40 is 5 mm × 5 mm (preferably 10 mm × 10 mm or less). Moreover, it is preferable that the ratio of the area to which the hole is tightened in the entire area of the mesh 40 is within a range in which damage on the material does not occur, and if the mesh 40 can be filtered without being easily peeled off or broken.

  For example, a type (see FIG. 5) that makes the filter part foldable so that the soup containing the residue can easily be poured into the filter part to make the filter part easy to spread is preferable. As for the folding folds, at least one valley fold is provided, and at most 5 folds can be used, and a filtration unit provided with a folding fold can be used within a range in which the filtration function and the function as a lid are well balanced. In particular, during use, the filtration part is in a state where the lid base material and the filtration member are in close contact with moisture, and in such a case, the structure to be opened with a folding fold is stored in a folded state before use. Yes.

  When using the filtration unit 90 with folding folds shown in FIG. 5, the lid base material and the folding folds of the filtration unit 90 in a folded state are isolated, for example, holding an instant cup food lid with one hand, Hold the soup and the soup left in the cup with your hand and pour it into the filtration section to filter. It is preferable to use a filtration part provided with such a folding fold because the filtration part can be easily opened by simply picking the lid for the instant cup food even when the remaining soup remains hot.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and (b), there is a type that has a folding part (dotted line part) in which a part of the filtration part is tripled so that the inlet of the filtration part can be easily expanded. Preferably mentioned. If there is a filtering unit 91 having a “folded” portion called a folding unit of the type shown in FIG. 6A, the arrow portion is lifted during the filtering process as shown in FIG. 6B. Therefore, it is preferable because the mouth of the container (cup) is easy to flow and the structure is not easily broken.

  The filtration part covering cover 30 used in the present embodiment is provided to protect the filtration part 40. The size of the filtration unit covering cover 30 is substantially the same as the area of the filtration unit 40 in order to cover at least the filtration unit 40, but may be larger than that.
