Description

  The present invention relates to cooking instant cup noodles, and more particularly to a fixture for preventing the cup noodle lid from rising while pouring hot water over the instant cup noodles.

  Conventionally, various inventions related to “fixing tools” or “pressing tools” for preventing the lid of instant cup noodles from rising up have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In Patent Document 1, in order to prevent steam from leaking out, the main body is formed in a shape that covers the entire lid surface of the cup noodle, and a clip portion formed by cutting a part of the main body has a cup noodle opening. An invention has been disclosed in which the lid is prevented from rising by being hooked on the flange portion of the edge.

JP 2013-18538 A

  Certainly, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, the entire surface of the lid can be suppressed, which is desirable from the viewpoint of preventing leakage of steam.

  However, since the cup noodle lid is usually peeled off at the portion where hot water is poured, there is little need to press the edge of the opening all around. Furthermore, when configured as in the invention described in Patent Document 1, since the size increases, it is simply an obstacle and the cost of raw materials increases. In addition, it is difficult to provide it to consumers in a state of being enclosed in individual product packages.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can be easily enclosed in individual product packages, and prevents the lid from rising up sufficiently efficiently without pressing the entire surface of the lid. It is an object of the present invention to provide an instant cup noodle lid fixture that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention comprises a main body in a strip shape using a sheet-like flexible material such that the long side is longer than the diameter of the lid of the instant cup noodle container. Protruding or arcuate slits are provided in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction so as to face each other to form a flap portion that can swing up and down with respect to the main body, and the short side of the strip-shaped main body A concave portion for placing a chopstick or a fork is provided at a substantially central position of each.

  By adopting a strip-shaped main body in this way, it can be easily enclosed in individual product packages regardless of location. Further, by providing a convex or arcuate slit in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body so as to face each other, a flap portion that can swing up and down with respect to the main body is formed. By providing a recess for placing chopsticks and forks at the approximate center of each short side of the main unit, it is possible to prevent the lid from rising up sufficiently efficiently without pressing the entire surface of the lid. ing. That is, when the flap portion is swung downward in order to be hooked on the opening edge of the cup noodle container, the short side where the concave portion is formed swings upward due to the reaction force due to its positional relationship. When an object with a certain weight, such as chopsticks or forks, is placed in the recess, the weight acts in the direction of closing the flap, and a force to press the lid is generated, so that the entire surface of the lid does not have to be pressed. This makes it possible to prevent the lid from rising up sufficiently efficiently.

  By applying the present invention, instant cup noodle lid fixing that can be easily enclosed in individual product packages and can prevent the lid from rising up efficiently without pressing the entire lid surface. Tools can be provided.

It is the figure which showed the state by which the fixture for instant cup noodle lids shown as an example of embodiment which concerns on this invention was enclosed integrally in the package at the time of cup noodle sale.

  Hereinafter, an instant cup noodle lid fixing tool 100 as an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For easy understanding of the drawings, it should be noted that there are portions where the size and dimensions of each portion are exaggerated and there are portions that do not necessarily match the actual product. In addition, each drawing is viewed in the direction of the reference sign, and is expressed as upper, lower, left, right, near, and back based on the direction.

<Structure of fixing device for instant cup noodle lid>
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the instant cup noodle lid fixing device 100 shown as an example of the embodiment of the present invention has a long side longer than the diameter of the lid 14 of the instant cup noodle container 10. Thus, it is configured in a strip shape using a sheet-like flexible material.

  Here, the flexible material is not particularly limited, however, for example, paper having a certain thickness, a resin material such as PET, rubber, or a composite thereof is suitable.

  Convex or arcuate slits 102 are provided in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the instant cup noodle lid fixing device 100 so that the tips of each other face each other. This slit 102 penetrates from the front side to the back side (back side), and by providing the slit 102, it can swing up and down with respect to the main body (immediate cup noodle lid fixture 100) (see FIG. 2). Flap portion 104 is formed.

  In addition, chopstick rests 106 for placing chopsticks and forks are provided at substantially central positions on the short side of the instant cup noodle lid fixing tool 100, respectively.

<How to use instant cup noodle lid fixing device and its function / function>
The method of using the instant cup noodle lid fixing tool 100 shown as an example of the embodiment of the present invention is very simple.

  After opening the lid 14 of the instant cup noodle container 10 and pouring a predetermined amount of hot water into the container, both the flap portions 106 are swung downward, and the flap portion 106 is moved to the flange portion 12 of the instant cup noodle container 10. Just hook it. At this time, it is desirable that one of the flap portions 106 is hooked and attached so as to be positioned at the knob portion 16 of the lid 14 of the instant cup noodle container 10. Further, when the flap portion 104 is swung downward, the short side where the recess 106 is formed is swung upward due to the reaction force due to the positional relationship, and is positioned higher than the lid 14 (for example, FIG. 4).

  After that, as shown in FIG. 5, the chopsticks 20 (or fork) at hand may be placed on the chopstick rests 106 formed at both ends. When an object having a certain weight such as chopsticks 20 (or fork) is placed on the placing recess 106, the weight acts in the direction of closing the flap portion 104 due to the positional relationship between the chopstick placing recess 106 and the flap portion 104. Since the force for efficiently pressing the lid 14 of the instant cup noodle container 10 is generated, the rising of the lid 14 can be prevented sufficiently efficiently without pressing the entire surface of the lid 14.

  As described above, by adopting the strip shape, it can be easily enclosed in individual product packages as shown in FIG. At this time, it is possible to carry out advertisements on the front and back of the instant cup noodle lid fixing device 100, or to prepare a series such as a specific character group or idol group to function as a collector's item and sell it. It is also possible to exert a promoting effect.
