The draining plate 20 has a plurality of projection portions 21 and a plurality of recessed portions 22 extending in an inclined direction and arrayed alternately, and a plurality of hole portions 23 formed on axes C along which the recessed portions 22 extend.

Description

  The present invention relates to a food tray, and more particularly to a food tray on which a food from which a liquid oozes is placed.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, foods such as fresh fish, meat, and fruits and vegetables are placed on food trays, wrapped with food wrap films, and exhibited and sold at retail stores. However, liquids may ooze out from ingredients such as fresh fish and meat. A state in which the food material is immersed in such a liquid looks unsanitary and seems to have poor freshness.

  Therefore, the open cell foam layer having water absorption is formed to be the inner surface of the container, and the open cell foam layer is crushed by compressing in the thickness direction on the entire circumference of the bottom surface of the tray near the rising part to the side wall. A food tray has been proposed in which a concave portion is formed and an opening hole reaching the open-celled foam layer is formed on the inner bottom surface thereof (see Patent Document 1).

  According to the food tray of this patent document 1, the liquid that comes out of the stored food can be absorbed by the open cell foam layer, and the liquid is blocked by the concave portion that crushes the open cell foam layer around the entire bottom surface of the tray. As a result, the liquid is not absorbed up to the side wall, and the appearance of the side wall can be prevented from deteriorating.

  However, the liquid that exudes from foodstuffs such as fresh fish and meat contains blood. For this reason, since the open-cell foam layer which absorbed the liquid which oozes out from a foodstuff is dyed red, the food tray of patent document 1 has food placed on this open-cell foam layer which was dyed red. Couldn't be displayed nicely.

  An object of this invention is to provide the food tray which can display the foodstuff which oozes liquid nicely.

  A food tray comprising a bottom plate and a side wall erected from a peripheral edge of the bottom plate, wherein the food tray has an upper opening, is disposed above the bottom plate, is inclined with respect to the bottom plate, and food is placed thereon The draining plate has a plurality of convex portions and a plurality of concave portions arranged alternately and extending in an inclined direction, and a plurality of hole portions formed on an axis extending from the concave portion. And a food tray.

  According to the present invention, when the liquid oozes out from the food placed on the draining plate, the liquid reaches the concave portion along the convex portion of the draining plate. Then, the liquid that has reached the recess flows downward and falls from the hole toward the bottom plate. That is, the liquid that exudes from the food does not remain on the draining plate on which the food is placed, but accumulates on the bottom plate disposed below the draining plate, and the liquid that exudes from the food is visible from above the food tray. It becomes difficult.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the food from being immersed in the liquid exuded from the food or placed on the rug dyed in the color of the liquid on the food tray.
Therefore, it is possible to display the food that exudes liquid nicely.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the food tray which can display the foodstuff which a liquid oozes nicely can be provided.

It is a perspective view of the food tray concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a top view of the food tray which concerns on the said embodiment. It is sectional drawing which shows the AA cross section of the food tray which concerns on the said embodiment in FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the BB cross section of the food tray which concerns on the said embodiment in FIG. It is a figure explaining the flow of the liquid which exuded from the foodstuffs mounted in the food tray which concerns on the said embodiment.

The structure of the food tray 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a food tray 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the food tray 1 according to the embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an AA cross section of the food tray 1 according to the embodiment in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a BB cross section of the food tray 1 according to the embodiment in FIG. 2.

  The food tray 1 is a food tray on which food is placed, and includes a box-shaped main body 10 that opens upward and a draining plate 20 disposed inside the main body 10. The food tray 1 is formed of foamed polystyrene, but may be formed of any material such as a synthetic resin as long as it is a waterproof material.

  The main body 10 includes a bottom plate 11 that is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and side walls 12 that stand from the periphery of the bottom plate 11. The bottom plate 11 can have any shape and outer diameter depending on the size and shape of the food placed on the food tray 1.

  The draining plate 20 is disposed above the bottom plate 11 of the main body 10, is inclined with respect to the bottom plate 11, and food is placed thereon. Specifically, the draining plate 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is substantially the same shape as the bottom plate 11, and one of the opposing sides is connected to the upper end of the side wall 12 of the main body 10, and the other is opposed to the side wall 12. It contacts the bottom plate 11 near the lower end of the side wall 12.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the draining plate 20 is formed to be rotatable upward about one side connected to the upper end of the side wall 12. Thereby, the draining plate 20 is rotated upward, and the liquid that has accumulated in the main body 10 and exudes from the food placed on the food tray 1 can be discharged. Further, for example, the connecting portion between the draining plate 20 and the upper end of the side wall 12 is configured to be separable by rotating the draining plate 20 upward. Accordingly, for example, when the food tray 1 is discarded, the main body 10 can be easily cleaned by rotating the draining plate 20 upward and separated, and only the plurality of main bodies 10 and the plurality of drainers are removed. Only the plates 20 can be stacked and discarded.

The draining plate 20 extends in an inclining direction (upward and downward directions in FIGS. 2 and 4), a plurality of convex portions 21 and a plurality of concave portions 22 arranged alternately, and an axis C in which the concave portions 22 extend. And a plurality of holes 23 formed on the top.
The convex portions 21 are formed in a semicircular arc shape that swells upward, and are arranged at predetermined intervals in a direction perpendicular to the tilting direction. In addition, the shape of the convex portion 21 is not limited to a semicircular cross section, and depending on the type of food placed on the food tray 1 and the method of manufacturing the food tray, It can be set to any shape and outer diameter.
The concave portion 22 is formed between the convex portions 21 arranged at a predetermined interval.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the hole portion 23 is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from above with the axis C as the center, and the apex is arranged in a downwardly inclined direction. A plurality of hole portions 23 are arranged on one axis C at a predetermined interval. Further, the hole 23 arranged on a certain axis C and the hole 23 arranged on the axis C adjacent to the certain axis C are arranged at positions that do not overlap in the direction perpendicular to the above-mentioned inclination direction. Yes. In addition, the shape of the hole part 23 can be made into circular shape or a rectangular shape according to the kind of food mounted in the food tray 1, and the manufacturing method of a food tray.

Next, the effect of the food tray 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the liquid 51 that has oozed from the food 50 placed on the food tray 1 according to the embodiment.
When the liquid 51 oozes out from the food 50 placed on the draining plate 20, the liquid 51 reaches the concave portion 22 through the convex portion 21 of the draining plate 20. Then, the liquid 51 that has reached the recess 22 flows downward in the inclination, and falls from the hole 23 toward the bottom plate 11 of the main body 10. That is, the liquid 51 exuding from the food 50 does not remain on the draining plate 20 on which the food 50 is placed, but accumulates on the bottom plate 11 disposed below the draining plate 20.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the food from being immersed in the liquid exuded from the food or placed on the rug dyed in the color of the liquid on the food tray.
Therefore, it is possible to display the food that exudes liquid nicely.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within a scope that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.
