By this partition part 39, mixing of different kinds of ingredients at the time of display is suppressed, and deterioration of appearance is avoided. Although not shown, a partition may be provided on the rectangular inner tray 30X.

  Next, the opening deformation of the cut opening 60 will be described together with the dropping procedure of the ingredient F2 by the inner tray 30. FIG. First, in the sealed container 10, as shown in FIG. 3, an inner dish 30 on which the ingredient F <b> 2 is placed is attached to the opening 15 (step 16) of the container main body 11 in which the main ingredient F <b> 1 is accommodated. Thus, the main ingredient F1 and the ingredient F2 are separated and accommodated, and the lid 20 is fitted inside the opening 15 of the container body 11. At the time of eating, the user releases (opens) the fitting between the container body 11 and the lid body 20, and the intermediate dish 30 on the step portion 16 of the container body 11 is lifted in a substantially horizontal state. At that time, the raised intermediate tray 30 is arranged in a substantially horizontal state so that the ingredient F2 is not spilled, and is disposed above the opening 15.

  When the middle plate 30 is lifted, the middle finger 30 is moved by the finger finger of the user M so that the left finger knob portion 40 and the right finger knob portion 50 are moved as shown in FIGS. 8 (a), 9 (a), and 10 (a). Supported by being pinched. That is, in the left finger knob portion 40, the first movable wall portion 41 and the second movable wall portion 42 facing each other are sandwiched between the fingers of the left hand of the user M, and in the right finger knob portion 50, the opposite third movable wall portion 51 and The fourth movable wall portion 52 is sandwiched between fingers of the right hand of the user M. When the left and right finger knob portions 40 and 50 are pinched with fingers, the left and right finger knob portions 40 are formed by forming recesses 49, 49, 59 and 59 below the movable wall portions 41, 42, 51 and 52, respectively. , 50, the range in which a finger can be attached is widened, and the user M can easily pinch.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 8 (b), 9 (b), and 10 (b), the movable wall portions 41, 42, 51, 52 of the left and right finger knob portions 40, 50 are pinched by the user M. Is pressed inward, and the dish surface portion 32 of the dish body portion 31 is curved. Here, in the left finger knob portion 40, the first movable wall portion 41 and the second movable wall portion 42 facing each other are connected on one side via a left arcuate wall portion 43, and the left standing wall portion 45 is connected on the other side. The gap S is interposed between the first movable wall portion 41 and the second movable wall portion 42. Therefore, the gap S is crushed by the pressure from the user M, and the first movable wall portion 41 and the second movable wall portion 42 are moved so as to approach each other.

  At this time, both ends of the first movable wall portion 41 and the second movable wall portion 42 are connected to the left arcuate wall portion 43 or the left standing wall portion 45, respectively, so that the first movable wall portion 41 and the second movable wall portion are connected. The left arcuate wall portion 43 and the left standing wall portion 45 are deformed so as to bend outward as they approach the portion 42 by pressing. When the left arcuate wall 43 and the left standing wall 45 are deformed outward, the first movable wall 41 and the second movable wall 42 are smoothly brought close to each other. In particular, the left deformation assisting portion 46 formed on the left standing wall 45 acts to accurately deform the left standing wall 45 outward (see FIG. 8B). Specifically, the left deformation assisting portion 46 is a mountain-folded bulging portion 46A, whereby the left standing wall portion 45 is reliably bent (bent) and deformed outward. Note that the same effect is obtained when the left deformation assisting portion 46 is a vertical slit portion 46B.

  Further, the left standing wall 45 is connected to the left dish part 31A, so that the left dish surface part 32a of the left dish part 31A is bent so as to bend downward along with the deformation. In particular, in the left standing wall 45, the left reinforcing wall 48 is formed at the connection with the left dish 31A, so the side of the connection with the left dish 31A is pulled up via the left reinforcing wall 48. To be deformed. Thereby, the deformation of the left standing wall portion 45 is effectively transmitted over a wide area of the left plate portion 31A (left plate surface portion 32a), and the curved deformation of the left plate portion 31A is appropriately and smoothly performed. Moreover, by making the left deformation | transformation auxiliary | assistant part 46 (bulging part 46A) into a triangular pyramid shape, the shape of the bottom side of the left standing wall part 45 is hold | maintained, and 31 A of left pan parts can be curved more largely. When the left plate portion 31A (left plate surface portion 32a) is bent and deformed, the left plate surface portion 32a is formed with a groove portion 36 that protrudes downward, so that the left plate surface portion 32a starts to curve downward with the groove portion 36 as a base point. . That is, the left plate portion 31A is curved so that the substantially central portion is the lowest point.

  When the left reinforcing wall 48 is provided with the left bent portion 48C as in the left finger knob portion 40 of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a part of the left connection lateral wall portion 48B is part of the outer edge portion 34. By bending to the side, the mountain-shaped deformation of the left deformation assisting portion 46 of the left standing wall 45 is facilitated. And it becomes easy to concentrate a deformation | transformation on the left plate part 31A (left plate surface part 32a) of the left standing wall part 45 periphery, and the curved deformation of the left plate part 31A can be performed more accurately.

  On the other hand, in the right finger knob part 50 formed symmetrically with the left finger knob part 40, the right dish part 31B is curved in the same manner as the left dish part 31A by the user's pinching operation. In other words, the third movable wall portion 51 and the fourth movable wall portion 52 are brought close to each other by being pressed by the user M, and accordingly, the right arcuate wall portion 53 and the right standing wall portion 55 are deformed to be bent outward. Then, along with the deformation of the right standing wall portion 55, the side of the connecting portion with the right dish portion 31B is pulled up via the right reinforcing wall portion 58 so that the substantially central portion becomes the lowest point with the groove portion 36 as a base point. The right dish portion 31B is curved. In addition, as a second embodiment, even when the right reinforcing wall portion 58 is provided with the right bent portion 58C, it is possible to accurately deform the right dish portion 31B by the same action as described above for the left bent portion 48C. It becomes.

  In this manner, the plate surface portions 32a and 32b of the left and right plate portions 31A and 31B, that is, the plate surface portion 32 of the plate body portion 31 is based on the groove portion 36 by the user M's knob operation on both the left and right finger knob portions 40 and 50. As shown in FIG. Due to the curvature of the dish surface part 32, the ingredient F2 placed on the dish body part 31 (31A, 31B) is bent at the lowest point (groove parts 36, 36) along the downward slope of the left and right dish parts 31A, 31B. Side) direction.

  And while the curved state of the said dish surface part 32 is maintained, as shown in FIG. 5, when the left and right finger knob parts 40 and 50 are pulled in the direction which mutually separates as shown in FIG. Opened. That is, the plate body 31 is separated into the left plate 31A and the right plate 31B with the cut opening 60 as a boundary. In particular, since the left and right dish surface portions 32a and 32b are curved downward at substantially central portions, the left and right dish surface portions 32a and 32b are substantially the same as the dish body portion 31 (dish surface portion 32) due to the separation of the left and right dish portions 31A and 31B. It will be in the inclining state which goes down toward the center part. As a result, the opening of the cut opening 60 is greatly expanded at the substantially central portion of the dish surface portion 32.

  Accordingly, the ingredient F2 guided in the direction of the lowest point of the curvature of the dish surface portion 32 (groove portions 36, 36 side) has a dish body portion with the inclination of the left and right dish surface portions 32a, 32b being accompanied by the opening of the cut opening 60. By changing toward the substantially central direction of 31 (dish surface part 32), it is further guided and dropped in the direction of the cut opening 60 opened. At this time, the dish reinforcing portion 35 also functions as a guide portion in the direction of the cut opening 60 by extending substantially parallel to the groove 36. Therefore, the material F2 is more reliably guided toward the cut opening 60. As described above, when the notch opening 60 is opened, the dish surface portion 32 is curved in advance, so that the material F2 on the dish body 31 (31A, 31B) is appropriately opened in the direction of the notch opening 60. Therefore, the material F2 can be reliably transferred to the container body 11 side without spilling.

  As illustrated and described above, in the middle tray structure of the present invention, the cut-in opening portion can be obtained by performing a simple procedure of pulling the left and right finger knob portions away from each other along with the knob operation of the left and right finger knob portions. It is possible to drop and transfer the ingredients on the middle dish into the container body 11. In particular, at the opening of the notch opening, the dish surface portion in the vicinity thereof is curved downward, so that the ingredients on the inner dish can be appropriately guided to the notch opening, and the ingredients on the inner dish are It can be reliably transferred to the container body without spilling. Therefore, unlike a conventional container having a middle dish, a complicated procedure such as transferring the ingredients on the middle dish one by one with chopsticks or the like becomes unnecessary, and the troublesomeness just before eating is eliminated. In addition, since the cut opening is opened by the operation through the left and right finger knobs and the ingredients on the middle pan fall, the simple movement of the user can lead to complicated deformation of the middle dish and the fall of the ingredients. The fun of the process will occur.

  In addition, the material, size, shape, and the like of the container provided with the middle dish structure of the present invention are optimally selected in consideration of the purpose of use of the container and the type of the stored article. For this reason, it is not limited only to the structure and article | item of embodiment shown and explained in full detail. For example, it is not limited to the noodles and bowls and topping articles disclosed in the embodiments, but for lunch boxes, fried rice, nasi goreng, pilaf, or open sandwiches, salads, etc., toppings of side dishes such as crackers, omelets, mapo tofu etc. Can also be assumed. Ice cream, hot cakes, cakes, parfaits, sundaes, anmitsu, zenzai, apricot tofu, and other confectionery can be applied to various food packaging such as chestnuts, almonds, chocolates, kojian and grained noodles. Is possible.

  Moreover, when the opening part of a container main body is made into a substantially circular shape, the planar shape of a saucer also becomes a circular shape. At that time, the straight line connecting the left and right finger knobs is arranged so as to pass through the center of the inner pan (circular center), and the notch opening is formed between the left and right fingers across the opposite outer edges. It is arranged at a position that intersects the straight line connecting the knobs.

  As described above, the intermediate dish structure of the present invention does not require a complicated procedure for transferring ingredients on the intermediate dish, and can be reliably transferred without spilling. Therefore, it is most suitable for use as a middle dish of a container for processed food that contains a plurality of ingredients such as main ingredients and ingredients separately.
