Description

The present invention relates to a container with a medium plate used for foods and the like in convenience stores, and more particularly to a structure of a container with a medium plate that can improve display in a store.

In recent years, the types of foods and drinks sold at convenience stores and the like are extremely diverse, and in addition to prepared foods, bento boxes, sandwiches, etc., they are expanding to salads, desserts, noodles, and other processed foods. When selling such foods, a container in which a lid is superposed on a container body made of a synthetic resin sheet is often used.

Of the foods listed, in the case of bento boxes, it is common to wrap and sell all the ingredients in one container. This is due to the processing and cooking methods that make the assorted ingredients familiar with each other and present a delicious taste as a whole. This is also because the water content of the foodstuffs used is relatively uniform. On the other hand, in the case of noodles such as buckwheat noodles, udon noodles, and pasta, the noodles and the ingredients to be placed on the noodles may be combined at the time of manufacture. However, there may be a difference between the water content of the noodles and the ingredients placed on them. For this reason, it tends to become soggy at the time of eating and the taste tends to deteriorate. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for taste, and it is a problem that retailers and sellers cannot overlook in order to differentiate themselves from other companies and obtain customer satisfaction.

Therefore, as a relatively simple measure, there is a container using an inner plate (inner lid) in the container composed of the container body and the lid (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this container, for example, noodles are stored in the lowermost part of the container body, an inner plate is placed in the opening of the container body, appropriate ingredients are placed on the inner plate, and finally a lid is covered. In the case of this container, it is possible to suppress the mixing of the ingredients before eating and bring the taste closer to the freshly made taste. In addition, since the topping ingredients are lined up on the middle plate, the appearance is gorgeous.

Foods in which the main ingredients and sub-ingredients are separated using this type of medium plate are displayed in a flat stack on the display shelves in the store. At that time, since the lid on the upper surface of the container is made of transparent resin and the main body of the container is made of opaque material such as foamed resin or paper, the products on the lower stage of the display shelf can be seen from above. The contents are easy to understand, but there is a problem that it is difficult to grasp the contents because the products in the middle or upper part of the shelf can be seen only from the side. Further, even if the container body is made of a transparent material, it is difficult to see the food on the middle plate because the contents of the product are seen from the side of the container in the upper and middle stages of the display shelf. From the seller's point of view, the middle and upper products, whose contents are difficult to grasp, have a weak appeal to consumers, and as a result, there is a risk that sales will not increase.
