Description

  The present invention relates to a rice storage container. Specifically, the present invention relates to a rice storage container including a container containing refilled rice and a container to which the rice is to be refilled.

  In general, rice is sold in a flat bag made of vinyl, paper, or cloth called a rice bag. The sales unit is often 5 kg or 10 kg. Therefore, for example, in a supermarket, when displaying rice in a rice bag as a product on a product shelf in a rice grain sales section, the product is large in size and weight. It is difficult to take out. There are also many safety issues. Furthermore, since the depth of the product shelf is limited, flat and wide rice bags are naturally stacked and displayed on the lower stage of the shelf. A very limited number of products such as retort packed rice are displayed in the middle and upper stages of the product shelves in the rice cereal sales section, and the product sales space is wasted. In addition, since flat rice bags are displayed in a flat state, it is difficult to confirm the contents (product name, place of production, year of production, date of rice milling, etc.) related to the products printed on the surface of the rice bag.

  Furthermore, because the quality (taste, etc.) of polished rice deteriorates due to long-term storage, 5-10 kg of rice is too much to purchase at a time for single-person households. Of course, if the rice is refrigerated and stored in a refrigerator or the like, the quality can be maintained over a long period of time, rather than being stored at room temperature. However, the size of the rice bag is large, putting pressure on the storage space for other foods in the refrigerator. Certainly, there are some rice bags containing a small amount of rice of about 1-2 kg, but the shape of the rice bags is not kept constant in the refrigerator due to its flexible material and flat shape. It gets in the way when it is stored in the cabinet or when other stored food is taken out of the refrigerator.

  Therefore, in recent years, a small amount of rice of about 2 kg has been sold in plastic bottles. As a result, even when the product shelf with a small depth is in the middle or top, it can be displayed in an upright state, making it easy to pick up the product and easily confirm the product content printed on the label mounted on the surface of the PET bottle. be able to. Moreover, like a drink containing a plastic bottle, it can be stored in a refrigerator in an orderly manner. In addition, the following patent documents 1 and 2 etc. are described regarding the rice stuffed in the plastic bottle or the plastic bottle for storing the rice.

Japanese Patent No. 3647137 JP-A-10-114351

  As above-mentioned, the freshness of rice can be maintained over a long period of time by storing rice in a refrigerator. Therefore, rice in plastic bottles is also useful from the viewpoint of stockpiling. In addition, rice bags usually have holes for venting the inside and outside of the bag, and in the event of a flood, water penetrates through the holes, making the rice unusable. If it is sealed with a cap, there is no need to worry about the ingress of moisture, and it is highly resistant to damage in the storage area.

  In addition, rice in plastic bottles is also excellent from the viewpoint of rice storage. For example, if the rice is stored in the state of brown rice, it can be stored at room temperature for a long period of time. However, in order to use brown rice as food, it usually requires polished rice. However, rice milling machines require power such as electricity, and the number and location of the machines are limited, so that it is difficult to mill rice in the event of a disaster. Of course, brown rice itself can be used as food by applying a special cooking (cooking) method such as applying pressure, but in the event of a disaster, cooking facilities and utensils are limited. That is, even if brown rice can be stored for a long period of time, it is difficult to use it as food immediately in an emergency, and there are many problems especially as stockpile use in general households. On the other hand, by putting the polished rice in a plastic bottle and storing it in a refrigerator, if there is water and heating means, the rice that can be immediately used for food can be stored for a long time while maintaining its freshness.

  Thus, rice stored in a self-supporting sealed container is suitable for storage in a refrigerator, while rice is a staple food and needs to be cooked almost daily. Therefore, if the convenience when using refrigerated rice is poor, rice in rice bran etc. will be used on a daily basis as before, and rice for long-term use such as stockpile and daily use Rice will be stored separately. In this way, if the stockpiled rice is distinguished from the rice for daily use, there is a limit to the period in which freshness and flavor can be maintained even in refrigerated storage, and eventually all of the stockpiled rice will be replaced with new ones. That would cost a lot of money at once.

  In view of the various problems associated with rice that has been stored in a container suitable for long-term storage in a refrigerator, such as a plastic bottle as described above, and daily edible rice, the present inventor We considered storing rice stored in containers for everyday meal use in ordinary households and stockpiling in an emergency. For example, rice that can be used regularly for a long period of time can be easily taken out while weighing a portion of daily use, while being prepared with a large number of PET bottles filled with rice. Refilled containers such as rice cakes (hereinafter referred to as “rice koji containers”) as needed. And he thought of a stockpiling method of purchasing rice in a plastic bottle for refilling and replenishing it as needed. As a result, while maintaining the stockpiling amount and freshness of rice at a constant level, the rice can be taken out from the rice bran container and cooked for daily use.

  However, in the rice storage method described above, the frequency of refilling a container for rice bran from a PET bottle increases. Therefore, it is necessary to devise the structure of refill containers such as plastic bottles (hereinafter referred to as rice refill containers) and rice bran containers so that the rice can be refilled reliably without spilling during relocation work. is there.

And the main objective of this invention is to provide the storage container set for rice which consists of the container for rice refilling, and the container for rice bran so that rice could be refilled easily and without waste.

=== First Embodiment ===
<Basic configuration and structure>
A rice storage container set according to a basic embodiment of the present invention will be described as a first example. 1 and 2 schematically show a rice storage container set 1a according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the two containers (10a, 20a) viewed from above when the two containers (10a, 20a) constituting the container set 1a are upright, and one container 10a Is shown in a partially broken perspective view. FIG. 2 is a front view of the storage container set 1a for rice as viewed from the direction of the arrow 100 in FIG. The rice storage container set 1 of the present embodiment can be used as a rice bran by refilling the rice 40 from the plastic bottle (rice refill container) 10a containing the refilled rice 40 and the rice refill container 10a. And a rice bran container 20a.

  The rice refill container 10a has the same shape and structure as a general square PET bottle, and a cylindrical neck 12a is formed above the container main body 11a serving as a storage part of the rice 40 with the bottom 14 as a lower part. The upper end of the neck 12a is an opening (hereinafter referred to as rice supply port) 13a for taking out the rice 40 in the container body 11 to the outside.

  Further, in the rice storage container set 1a of the first embodiment, the rice bran container 20a has the same shape and structure as a general square PET bottle, and the bottom portion is similar to the rice refill container 10a. A cylindrical neck portion 22a is formed above the container main body 21 with the lower portion being 24, and the upper end of the neck portion 22a introduces the rice 40 into the container main body 21 when refilling the rice 40 from the rice refill container 10a. Opening portion (hereinafter referred to as rice inlet) 23a. The neck portion 22a of the rice bran container 20a is hereinafter referred to as a pipe portion 22a in order to avoid confusion with the neck portion 12a of the rice refill container 10a.

<About refilling rice>
In the rice storage container set 1a of the first embodiment, when the rice refill container 10a stored in a state where the rice 40 is sealed is purchased and the rice bran container 20a is emptied, One of the refill containers 10a is opened, and the rice 40 is refilled into the rice bran container 20a. And about the rice 40 used for an everyday meal use, the usage method of taking out from the container 20a for rice bran and cooking is assumed. The sealed structure in the rice refilling container 10a, that is, the closing structure of the rice supply port 13a may be a cap in which an internal thread fitted to the elastic body 30 is not formed, or rice supply A structure in which the mouth 13a is closed with a resin film provided with a known pull tab may be used. In any case, if the rice refilling container 10a is stored in a cool and dark place such as a refrigerator, and the rice 40 is refilled, the rice refilling container 10a filled with the rice 40 is newly replenished. Since it is possible to maintain the stock amount and freshness of rice 40 while eating rice 40, it is necessary to consider sealing again after opening the sealing structure of the rice refill container 10a. There is no.

  And in the storage container set 1a for rice which concerns on 1st Example, in the case of the refilling of the rice 40, it has the structure where the rice 40 is refilled reliably and rapidly, without spilling. The structure will be described below.

  In the rice storage container set 1a of the first embodiment, the refilling operation of the rice 40 is performed while the rice refilling container 10a and the rice bran container 20a are made of PET bottles having substantially the same shape and structure. In order to facilitate, the thickness of the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a and the opening diameters of the rice supply port 13a and the rice introduction port 23a are made different. In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner diameter Φy of the rice introduction port 23a of the rice bran container 20a is larger than the outer diameter Φx of the neck portion 12a of the rice refill container 10a, At the time of refilling, the neck portion 13 of the rice refill container 10a is inserted into the rice inlet 23 of the rice bran container, and both the containers (10a, 20a) are connected by the neck portion 13 and the tube portion 23 to refill the rice. The rice 40 in the container 10 a is refilled with the rice bran container 20.

  Furthermore, in the method of using the rice storage container set 1a described above, the frequency of refilling the rice 40 naturally increases, so in the rice storage container set 1 of the first embodiment, the neck portion 12a is inserted into the pipe portion 22a. In the state, the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a are in close contact with each other so that the rice 40 can be refilled reliably and quickly. Specifically, the rice bran container 20a is configured so that the rice inlet 23a is plugged by a screw cap (not shown) with the tube portion 22a as a male screw, as in a general PET bottle. The male thread is not formed on the outer periphery of the neck portion 12a of the rice refill container 10a, and an elastic body 30 is provided instead. The rice 40 is not spilled and the rice 40 can be refilled surely and quickly by the elastic body 30 wrapped around the neck 13 of the rice refill container 10a.

  FIG. 3 shows a connected state of the rice refill container 10a and the rice bran container 20a when the rice 40 is refilled. Further, FIG. 4 shows a cross section taken along the line aa in FIG. 3, that is, a cross section of a connecting portion between the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a. In the state where the neck of the rice refill container 10a is inserted into the pipe part from the rice inlet of the rice bran container 20a, the outer peripheral side surface of the cylindrical neck 12a of the rice refill container 10a and the rice bran container The elastic body 30 is interposed between the inner peripheral side surface of the cylindrical tube portion 22a of 20a, and the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a are in close contact with each other. Thereby, the rice 40 in the rice refill container 10a is reliably refilled in the rice bran container 20a without spilling.

  According to the rice storage container set 1 having the structure described above, when the rice 40 is refilled, the rice refill container 10a is erected, and the empty rice bran container 20a is inverted, so that the rice refill container 10a Since it is only necessary to insert the neck portion into the rice inlet 23a of the rice bran container 20a and then turn the top and bottom of the rice refill container 10a upside down, the transfer operation can be performed easily and quickly. Further, since the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a are in close contact with each other via the elastic body 30, the connection state between the two portions is not easily released, and there is little fear that the connection is released during the refilling operation. That is, the rice 40 can be reliably refilled.

  In the first embodiment, the rice introduction port 23a of the rice bran container 20a is an opening for allowing the rice 40 from the rice refilling container 10a to flow into the container body 21, and at the same time, the rice 40 Is a so-called wide-mouthed bottle in which the opening diameter of the rice inlet 23a is larger than the opening diameter of a general PET bottle (for example, 27 mm). It has a sufficient function as a rice bran, such as making the weighing easy by adjusting the amount of rice 40 taken out.

<About elastic body>
The elastic body 30 may be any material as long as it is a flexible material such as soft urethane (sponge), rubber, or silicon resin. The elastic body 30 may be attached to the inner peripheral surface of the tube portion 22a of the rice bran container 30a instead of the outer peripheral surface of the neck portion 12a of the rice refill container 10a. In the case where the elastic body 30 is provided on the side of the rice refill container 10a, the container 10a becomes unnecessary after refilling, and the elastic body 30 becomes disposable. It is required to reduce the manufacturing cost including it. On the other hand, when the elastic body 30 is in the rice bran container 20a, since the refilling operation is repeated, durability is required. In any case, the elastic body 30 may be provided on the appropriate container (10a, 20a) side in consideration of cost and durability.

<About rice bran container>
In the first embodiment, the rice bran container 20a is a plastic bottle, but it is of course not limited thereto. The rice bran container only needs to include a pipe portion that can be connected to the neck portion 12a of the rice refill container 10a via the elastic body 30. FIG. 5 shows a modification of the rice bran container (20b, 20c). FIG. 5 (A) shows a rice bran container 20b in which the take-out port 27 and the pipe part 22b of the rice 40 are individually provided. In this example, the pipe part 22b And a take-out port 27 for the rice 40 provided with a slide type lid 26 is formed. (B) is an example of the rice bran container 20c having a structure in which the pipe portion 22c does not protrude from the container body 21c, and is shown in a partially broken perspective view. In this example, a cylindrical tube portion 22c is buried in the container main body 21c with respect to the rice bran container 20b provided with the tube portion 22b shown in FIG. The opening surface of the mouth 23c is flush with the opening surface.

<Rice refill container>
On the other hand, the rice refill container is not limited to a plastic bottle. FIG. 6 shows a modification of the rice refill container 10b. FIG. 6A shows a partially broken perspective view when the rice refill container 10b according to the modification is viewed from above, and FIG. 6B shows a perspective view when viewed from below. The illustrated rice refill container 10b has a structure in which a neck portion 12b is provided on a bag-shaped container main body 11b generally called a “pouch pack” or a so-called “pouch”. As is well known, this type of container (hereinafter referred to as a pouch pack type container) is used as a container for retort foods, and heats the edges of a plurality of rigid film-like materials that are thick and have excellent shape maintainability. It is formed into a bag shape by bonding by a method such as welding. And the rice refilling container 10b shown here uses a film-like material, and the bottom part 14b is used as the lower part, and two film-like materials forming the side surface of the container main body 11b and the bottom part 14b The edges of each piece of film-like material are bonded together. As a result, the illustrated rice refill container 10b can stand on its own by the wide bottom portion 14b. And the pouch pack-type rice refilling container 10b stores the rice 40 in a state where one side of the bag made of a film-like material is opened, and a method such as heat welding the one side while deaeration in that state. The rice 40 can be easily stored in a vacuum state by adhering with. Therefore, the rice 40 can be stored for a long period of time at room temperature as well as refrigerated storage. The rice refill container only needs to have a neck so that the rice 40 can be led out of the container body while falling under its own weight. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the neck 12c is formed in the container body 11c. A rice refill container 10c formed so as to protrude sideways is also conceivable.

=== Second Embodiment ===
By the way, in the said 1st Example, when refilling rice, the rice bran containers (20a-20c) are connected to the rice refilling containers (10a, 10b) in an upright state, and then connected. The top and bottom of both containers (10a, 10b, 20a-20c) were reversed. Therefore, it becomes a troublesome work for a weak person. Thus, a rice storage container set having a structure that does not require reversing the top and bottom after connection is shown as a second embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 8 shows a rice storage container set 1d according to the second embodiment. In the rice storage container 1d, the rice refill container 10d and the rice bran container 20d are both constituted by PET bottles, like the rice storage container 1a according to the first embodiment. However, when the rice 40 is refilled, the relation between the inside and outside of the neck portion 12d of the rice refill container 10d and the pipe portion 22d of the rice bran container 20d is reversed, and the pipe portion 22d is connected via the rice supply port 13d. And inserted into the neck 12d. Furthermore, the rice supply port 13d is sealed by a plate-like or film-like sealing member 31 that opens when the pipe portion 22d is inserted. In this example, the sealing member 31 is made of paper that is broken when pressed from the outside.

  9A to 9C show transition states of the state when the rice 40 is refilled in the rice storage container set 1d of the second embodiment. First, the rice bran container 20d is erected and the rice refill container 10d is inverted so that the rice supply port 13d and the rice introduction port 23d face each other (A). Next, when the tube portion 22d is inserted into the rice supply port 13d, the edge of the rice introduction port 23d comes into contact with the sealing member 31, and when further inserted, the sealing member 31 is broken (B). Then, the sealing member in which the rice 40 in the rice refilling container 10d is broken by its own weight is opened and dropped into the rice bran container 20d (C).

  The sealing member 31 is not configured to be broken by being pressed against the edge of the rice inlet 23d. For example, a groove around the neck portion 22d is formed, and the disk-shaped groove is formed in the groove. The sealing member 31 may be fitted. Then, when the sealing member 31 is pressed by the edge of the rice introduction port 23d, the sealing member 31 may be dropped from the groove and the rice supply port 22d may be opened.

=== Third embodiment ===
In the storage container set for rice shown in FIG. 1, the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a have a hollow cylindrical shape, and the rice refilling container 10a and the rice bran container 20a are connected by inserting one 12a into the other 22a. The rice 40 in the rice refill container 10a is dropped into the rice bran container 20a by its own weight to refill the rice 40. At this time, since the neck portion 12a and the tube portion 22a are in close contact with each other by the elastic body 30, air does not circulate inside and outside the two integrated containers (10a, 20a). However, since the rice 40 is not a liquid but a granule, the air in both containers (10a, 20a) can freely pass through the two containers (10a, 20a) in a connected state through the gap between the individual rice grains. Can be moved to. Therefore, in reality, it is unlikely that the rice refilling container 10a side has a negative pressure and the rice 40 does not fall into the rice refilling container 20a.

  Nevertheless, it is obvious that the refilling operation can be performed more smoothly if air is circulated inside and outside the two containers (10a, 20a) in a connected state. However, by simply providing an air hole in the rice refill container 10a, external moisture (such as water vapor) enters the container body 11a through the air hole, and the rice 40 absorbs the moisture. Therefore, it becomes difficult to maintain the freshness of the rice 40 over a long period of time. If a large amount of water flows into the container main body 11a due to water damage or the like, the rice 40 cannot be used for food. Therefore, as a third embodiment, during storage, the inside of the container body is sealed to maintain freshness, and at the time of refilling, air is circulated inside and outside the container body so that refilling can be performed more smoothly. List refill containers.

  10 to 14 show rice refill containers (10f to 10k) according to the third embodiment. First, the example shown in FIG. 10 is a rice refill container 10f made of a PET bottle, and a vent hole 50 is formed in the vicinity of the bottom 14f of the container body 11f. During storage, the vent 50 is closed by the adhesive film 51.

  FIGS. 11A to 11C show a procedure for opening the vent 50 when the rice 40 is refilled in the rice refill container 10f shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 11 corresponds to an enlarged view of a circle in FIG. First, at the time of storage, that is, at the time of sale, as shown in FIG. 11 (A), the vent hole 50 is kept closed with an adhesive film 51, and when refilling, the adhesive tape 51 is peeled off (B), The ventilation hole 50 is opened (C). Thereby, air can be circulated inside and outside the rice refill container. The shape of the vent hole 50 may be a size or shape that makes it difficult for rice grains to pass through. If it is a shape, for example, it is more preferable if it is a slit shape or a mesh shape provided with a plurality of holes smaller than rice grains. Of course, this configuration can also be applied to rice refill containers (10b, 10c) made of pouch pack type containers as shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 12 shows a rice refill container (10g, 10h) having a structure in which the vent hole 54 is opened by breaking a part of the container body 11g. As this structure, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), it is conceivable that a container 10g for refilling rice using a plastic bottle is formed, and a small protrusion 52 is formed on the side surface of the container body 11g. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C by enlarging the circle in FIG. 12A, if this protrusion 52 is folded from the base 53 portion (B), the base 53 portion The plastic bottle breaks and opens (C). In addition, the bottom part 14g of a PET bottle is usually formed with a dent so as not to bulge outward due to internal pressure. Then, if the said protrusion 52 is formed in the recessed part of the bottom part 14h of a PET bottle like the rice refilling container 10h shown in FIG.12 (D), the protrusion 52 will not become obstructive. Of course, you may provide the vent hole 50 previously plugged with the adhesive film 51 shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 in this bottom part 14h of a PET bottle. In any case, when the rice 40 is refilled, the rice 40 falls downward by its own weight, so if the bottom is opened, the opening (50, 54) is blocked by the grains of the rice 40. Air flows more smoothly.

  Even when the rice refill container is a pouch pack type container, a part of the container body can be broken to open the vent hole. In addition, unlike a plastic bottle, a pouch pack-type container can be easily torn if there is a cut or the like. Therefore, it is easy to provide a structure for opening a vent hole by breaking a part of the container body. is there. FIG. 13 shows a rice refill container (10i, 10j) having a structure in which a part of a container body (11i, 11j) made of a pouch pack container is cut open. FIG. 13A shows a case where a cutout 55 is formed in the adhesive region at the edge of the film-like material in the container body 11i. For example, when the drop speed of the rice 40 becomes dull during refilling, the cutout 55 Then, the container body 11i is cleaved and air is introduced into the rice refill container 10i. Similarly, the rice refill container 10j shown in FIG. 13B has a structure in which a part of the container main body 11j can be broken. In this example, a film-like material is bonded to the container main body 11j. A thin tubular passage 56 is guided from the storage space of the rice 40 that is not present, and the periphery of the passage 56 is bonded to form a protruding piece 57. Then, a notch 58 or the like is provided in the bonding portion of the projecting piece 57, and if the projecting piece 57 is cut from the notch 58, the tip of the projecting piece 57 is opened, and the container body through the passage 56 is provided. The inside and outside of 11j are in a ventilation state.

  In addition, the pouch-pack-type container is formed in a bag shape by laminating the edges of a plurality of film-like materials, so if the film-like material is stuck with the tube sandwiched, the inside and outside of the container body are communicated Can be easily attached. FIG. 14 illustrates a rice refill container 10k made of a pouch pack type container having the tube 58. A resin tube 58 protrudes from the inside to the outside of the container body 11k, and initially, the tip 59 of the portion protruding to the outside of the tube 58 is sealed. Then, in the tube 58, a notch for enabling the tube 58 to be cut in a portion exposed to the outside of the container main body 11k, and a cutting portion 60 consisting of a thin portion that circulates the tube are formed. If the tube 58 is bent as necessary at the time of refilling, the tube 58 is cut off at the cutting portion 60, and the cut surface becomes an opening 61, so that the inside and outside of the container body 11k are in a vented state.

  The present invention is applicable to, for example, rice storage in a general household.
