Description

The present invention enables beverages and food materials stored in the container body to be poured out from the spout at the top of the container body, such as a water bottle or a tumbler with an airtight lid, into the mouth by holding it in the hand and tilting it. The present invention relates to a food support device installed in a portable food storage container so that food can be consumed with one hand and eaten with one hand, and a portable food storage container in which the same is installed.

For example, in order to store not only drinks but also ingredients (ingredients) so that both can be eaten at the same time (one-handed drinking), for example, as in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2010-515625 (Patent Document 1), It would be possible to make the spout larger so that food can also be stored or dispensed, but as expected with such a configuration, a large amount of beverage will be poured out and it will not be possible to drink just the food. Therefore, even after drinking the entire drink, only the ingredients remain and a considerable amount of leftover food is left behind.Therefore, no product has been developed that allows the user to drink only the ingredients with one hand until the end.

In other words, if you are trying to create a container that allows you to eat and drink only the ingredients, or a container that does not leave behind food as mentioned above, you should design the container so that it can be opened wide as before, so that you can use chopsticks or other containers. We had no choice but to design a container that could be eaten using eating aids such as spoons.

In other words, for example, whether it's ramen, simmered food, or a drink with fruit, the beverage is poured out to a minimum, and only the ingredients are poured into a container that can be eaten with one hand, as if drinking with one hand. The product had not yet been developed or proposed.

Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 3, the present applicant has made an epoch-making invention that can realize a ramen container and a fruit-filled drink container that allow you to eat the ingredients with one hand as if you were drinking with one hand (trumpet drinking). . In other words, when you want to eat or drink food, simply open the cap or lid, hold it with one hand and tilt it as if you were drinking from a trumpet, without using any eating aids such as chopsticks or spoons. Now you can eat ramen and fruit with one hand without having to drink alcohol, and while working or driving, you can eat and drink quickly with one hand without polluting your surroundings or creating any extra garbage, which will further revolutionize food culture. We have invented a revolutionary portable food storage container that can be used to store food.

By improving existing plastic bottles, water bottles, and tumblers with airtight lids, this invention can be used not only for noodle dishes such as ramen, but also for various food products such as simmered dishes, fruit drinks, and other dishes and drinks containing ingredients. If this style of eating and drinking becomes popular, revolutionary products will be planned and commercialized one after another, and variations in portable food will also be introduced. This is an epoch-making invention that will increase food consumption and contribute to industrial development.

On the other hand, for example, as shown in Utility Model Registration No. 3134971 (Patent Document 2),
In order to prevent miso soup ingredients from sinking to the bottom and being difficult to grab with chopsticks or forget to eat when making miso soup in a cup, a perforated inner partition with uniform water holes is placed inside the miso soup cup. An instant miso soup cup container has been proposed in which miso soup ingredients are placed on top of the cup, making it easier to remove the ingredients with chopsticks, but this cup container still has an opening at the top. The top opening is opened wide by removing the paper lid or cover covering the lid, and is designed to be eaten and eaten using chopsticks.Once opened, the bag cannot be opened and closed tightly, and cannot be turned upside down or shaken. Although it is possible to drink miso soup without using chopsticks by attaching the mouth to the rim of the top opening of the cup container, the idea of eating the ingredients in this way without chopsticks and its purpose are Disclosing the idea of regulating the amount of miso soup that flows out and adjusting the flow rate, that is, disclosing the idea of regulating the amount of miso soup to a small extent and eating it by drinking only the ingredients, much less disclosing the idea of eating with one hand as mentioned above. There isn't any.

Therefore, the food storage state is such that the beverage 3 and the food ingredients 4 are stored in the container body 1, and the stored food ingredients 4 are supported and held by the food support part 5 provided in the container body 1 in a partitioned manner. As mentioned above, when the container body 1 is tilted with the hand held and the beverage 3 is poured into the mouth from the spout 2, the total opening area or the opening position is set at a predetermined height position. is set to a predetermined value or a predetermined position.The amount of the beverage 3 flowing from the bottom or outside of the food support 5 to the top or inside of the food support 5 is regulated through the water passage hole 8 of the food support 5. The food 4 flows out and is washed away by this regulated small amount of beverage 3, or along the flow of this beverage 3, the food 4 together with this regulated small amount of beverage 3 is poured into the mouth from the drinking spout 2.

Therefore, the food 4 can be eaten or eaten by tilting it by hand without using eating aids such as chopsticks, that is, the food 4 can be eaten with one hand as if drinking with one hand. In other words, after drinking a small amount of beverage 3, or after drinking a small amount of beverage 3 and ingredient 4 together, or before drinking a large amount of beverage 3, to the extent that it is flavored by beverage 3 or soaked in beverage 3. With only a small amount of beverage 3, approximately only the food material 4 is dispensed, so that the food material 4 can be eaten with one hand.

That is, by simply placing your mouth on the spout 2 as if drinking with one hand, carrying the container body 1 with one hand, and tilting it with that hand, water can be passed through the food support portion 5 that partitions the inside of the container body 1. Depending on the shape, number, and arrangement of the holes 8 (total opening area and distribution opening arrangement), the amount of the beverage 3 flowing out to the top or inside of the lower or outer side is regulated and becomes a small amount, and this regulated small amount of the beverage 3 is not allowed to flow out. As a result, the food 4 is washed away by this small amount of beverage 3 or is poured into the mouth from the spout of the drinking spout 2 along this flow, and the food 4 can be drunk with one hand without using chopsticks as desired. This means that you can eat it with one hand as if you were eating it.

In addition, the present invention provides the food support portion 5 that achieves the above-mentioned functions and effects in a partitioned manner within the container body portion 1 of a portable food storage container, without the need for processing the container body portion 1 as described above. , or by inserting the food support into the container body 1 by only modifying a small part of the mouth and lid, and simply grounding the installation legs 6 to the bottom of the container body 1; By simply abutting or locking the installation hanging part 7, the food support part 5 can be arranged in a partitioned manner at a predetermined height, and the desired portable food storage container can be completed.

Specifically, for example, the portable food storage container can be an existing or commercially available water bottle or a tumbler with a lid, and the mass-produced food support device can be inserted into the container main body 1 and stored therein. Therefore, a portable food storage container that achieves the above-mentioned effects can be easily realized, and for example, as described above, it is possible to easily provide a so-called bottled ramen that can be drunk with one hand (eaten with one hand).

That is, noodles (for example, ramen noodles) are placed in advance as the food material 4 on the upper part of the food support section 5, which is provided in a water bottle or tumbler at a predetermined height as a top and bottom partition and is provided with a predetermined water passage hole 8. If you want to place and store the noodles and add chunks, powder, or liquid soup base in advance, pour hot water 17 over the noodles, but if the noodles are boiled rather than instant dried noodles, pour the finished soup. put in. Even in the case of instant noodles, if you put a lid on it and turn it upside down, it will soften and loosen in a few minutes, and you can also shake it to ensure that the noodles are immersed in the liquid and the soup base is melted and mixed to form a uniform soup.

In this way, the present invention has an extremely practical configuration, as by using a container that can be sealed with a lid that can be opened and closed, it can not only be sealed while eating or drinking, but also be turned upside down and shaken. Become. For example, in this way, you can sell packaged ramen for takeout, or in the case of instant ramen, you can sell instant ramen in a bottle that is ready in a few minutes after pouring hot water. By tilting the beverage 3 by hand and allowing the soup as a beverage 3 to flow out in a controlled manner from the water passage hole 8 of the food support part 5 to the drinking spout part 2, not only can the noodles be eaten and eaten together with the soup, but also By regulating the outflow to the top or inside of the outer beverage 3, the noodles and ingredients are poured out from the spout 2 into the mouth as desired by the outflow of the limited amount of soup, and the chopsticks This makes it possible to easily provide extremely revolutionary and innovative bottled noodles that allow you to eat just the noodles and ingredients with one hand as desired without using eating aids such as .

A concrete example 1 of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

This example can be held in the hand and tilted to store and install it in a portable beverage container such as a water bottle or a tumbler with a lid that has an existing heat insulating structure or cold storage structure.

A suction cup may be provided at the lower end of the leg 6, and the upper end of the attachment/detachment knob 9 is pressed and firmly fixed when the upper opening of the container body 1 is covered with a stopper or lid. It may be configured so that

In addition, the food supporting portion 5 arranged in this partitioned state in this embodiment is provided with a water passage hole 8 set to a size that does not allow the food 4 to pass through, but allows the beverage 3 to pass through. 3 is configured so that the water is poured from the drinking spout 2 at the top only through the water passage hole 8.

In addition, in the food storage state in which the beverage 3 is stored in the container body 1 and the food 4 is supported and held by the food support 5, tilt the container body 1 with the hand holding the beverage 3. When pouring into the mouth from the spout 2, the amount of the beverage 3 flowing from the lower side to the upper side of the food support part 5 is regulated through the water passage hole 8 of the food support part 5, and this regulated small amount flows out. Together with the beverage 3, the food material 4 supported and held by the food material support section 5 is poured into the mouth from the drinking spout section 2, and the container main body is tilted by hand without using an eating aid. The height position of the food support portion 5 and the total opening area or opening position of the water passage hole 8 are set so that the food material 4 in the portion 1 is eaten or eaten.

To explain further, the food support portion 5 of this embodiment includes a closed support surface portion 10 in which the water flow holes 8 are not formed on the food support surface, and a plurality of water flow holes 8 are formed in parallel so as to serve the beverage. A beverage regulating outflow supporting surface part 11 is provided in which the outflow amount of No. 3 is regulated. The structure is such that it is provided around the periphery of the

Moreover, this beverage regulation outflow support surface part 11 has a structure in which a large number of the water passage holes 8 are formed in a part of the peripheral part, and the central part and the peripheral part other than where this beverage regulation outflow support surface part 11 is provided are filled with the water holes 8. A structure in which a support surface part 10 is provided, and a structure in which the water passage hole 8 functioning as a ventilation hole is provided in this closed support surface part 10 or in the vicinity of this closed support surface part 10, or a part of the drink regulation outflow support surface part 11 is provided. The water hole 8 is configured to function as a ventilation hole.

Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of the beverage restriction outflow support surfaces 11 are provided in the peripheral portion of the food support portion 5, and the total opening area or opening position of the water passage hole 8 is different from each other, and the degree of beverage outflow restriction is different from each other. It is configured so that the amount of the beverage 3 flowing out can be changed by changing the direction in which it is held in the hand.

To explain further, the closing support surface part 10 is provided in the center of the food product support part 5, and the beverage regulation outflow support surface part 11 is formed in plural numbers in parallel along the periphery of the food product support part 5; That is, the structure is such that they are provided at opposite peripheral portions with the closed support surface portion 10 provided at the center being sandwiched therebetween.

Therefore, the food storage is made by storing the beverage 3 and the food ingredients 4 in the container body 1, and supporting and holding the stored food ingredients 4 on the food support part 5 provided in the container body 1 in a vertically partitioned state. In this state, when the lid 5 that seals the spout 2 is opened and the container main body 1 is tilted with the hand holding the beverage 3 to be poured into the mouth from the spout 2, the beverage 3 is poured into the mouth from the spout 2, and the beverage 3 is placed at a predetermined height position. The amount of flow of the lower beverage 3 to the upper side is through the water passage holes 8 of the food support portion 5, which are arranged and have the total opening area, number, and opening position set to predetermined values and positions. The food 4 on the food support part 5 flows out in a regulated manner and is washed away by this regulated small amount of beverage 3, or along the flow of this beverage 3, the food 4 on the food support part 5 flows from the drinking spout 2 into the mouth along with this regulated small amount of beverage 3. The structure is such that it will be poured out.

Therefore, by simply inserting the food support of the present invention into, for example, a water bottle or tumbler so that the installation legs 6 are in contact with the bottom, the desired portable food storage container that achieves the above-mentioned functions and effects can be completed. In other words, it is possible to easily realize a portable food storage container in which the food 4 can be eaten and eaten by tilting it by hand without using an eating aid.In other words, it is possible to easily realize a portable food storage container in which food 4 can be eaten with one hand, just like drinking with one hand. .

For example, when drinking at an angle, the side where the beverage regulation outflow surface section 11 with a relatively small total opening area is provided (the side with a relatively small number of water passage holes 8) is the front side, and the beverage 3 is flavored. By regulating the outflow of the beverage 3 to such an extent that only a small amount of the beverage 3 is accompanied by the beverage 3 being absorbed or immersed in the beverage 3, only the food material 4 is poured out, so that the food material 4 can be eaten with one hand. becomes.

That is, by simply placing your mouth on the spout 2 as if drinking with one hand, carrying the container body 1 with one hand, and tilting it with that hand, you can easily open the food support 5 that partitions the interior of the container body 1 into upper and lower parts. Due to the shape, number, and arrangement (total opening area and distribution opening arrangement) of the water passage holes 8, the flow of the beverage 3 from the lower side to the upper side is regulated and becomes a small amount, and this regulated small amount of the beverage 3 flows out. Then, the food 4 is washed away by this small amount of beverage 3 or along this flow, and is poured into the mouth from the spout 6 of the drinking spout 2, and the user drinks only the food 4 as desired with one hand without using chopsticks. This means that you can eat it with one hand. When you want to mainly drink the beverage 3, you can change the orientation of the container main body 1 by holding it differently and tilt it with the side where many water holes 8 are formed toward you, which will reduce the flow restriction. A large amount of beverage 3 is poured out and can be drunk with one hand.

In addition, the height of the food support portion 5, the arrangement, shape, number, etc. of the water holes 8, etc. are determined by the product to be planned, that is, the shape of the container body 1, the food material 4 and beverage 3 to be stored, and how to eat and drink this. Although the design is determined depending on the degree of outflow restriction desired, in this embodiment, a closed support surface portion 10 is provided in the center of the circular food support portion 5 with no or almost no water passage holes 8 formed therein. , A beverage regulation outflow part 11 with a plurality of small water passage holes 8 arranged side by side in the front periphery (fewer number of small water passage holes 8 formed in parallel compared to the opposite periphery) is provided, and an air vent at the time of outflow is provided in the opposite periphery on the opposite side. The structure is provided with another beverage regulating outflow surface part 11 which becomes a hole to prevent pulsating outflow, and when drinking with the opposite side to the front side, the regulation of the beverage 3 is reduced and a relatively large amount of food and drink 3 can be drunk. Note that it is desirable that the size, position, and number of the water passage holes 8 be set to optimal values through repeated experiments.

More specifically, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but for example, the present invention can be commercialized as a bottle with a flow rate adjustment function that can adjust the amount of dispensed beverage 3. For example, by inserting and storing the product of the present invention in a commercially available or separately sold portable beverage container, a bottle with a flow rate adjustment function (this portable food storage container) can be realized, and noodles and ingredients can be easily eaten in this bottle. The structure is such that takeout containers and bottled noodles for takeout that can be eaten with one hand can be provided, such as by storing the cut noodles as food 4 and storing ramen soup as drink 3 and selling them at the store.

In this case, for example, if a tumbler with a sealing lid 5 as described above is used, the upper opening can be opened wide by removing the lid, and if the water bottle has a structure where the stopper can be removed, by removing this, The food support device of the present invention can be easily inserted and set, noodles and soup can be easily stored after setting, and can be sealed after storage, and the upper opening and pouring part serve as the drinking spout 2 when eating with one hand. Alternatively, the pouring cup may be opened so that the user can eat with one hand by putting his or her mouth on it.

Therefore, for example, by simply using an existing or commercially available water bottle or a tumbler with a lid as a portable food storage container, and inserting and storing the mass-produced food material support into the container main body 1, as described above, A portable food storage container that fulfills its functions and effects can be easily realized, and, for example, as described above, take-out bottle noodles that can be drunk with one hand (eaten with one hand) can be easily provided.

The present invention enables beverages and food materials stored in the container body to be poured out from the spout at the top of the container body, such as a water bottle or a tumbler with an airtight lid, into the mouth by holding it in the hand and tilting it. The present invention relates to a food support device installed in a portable food storage container so that food can be consumed with one hand and eaten with one hand, and a portable food storage container in which the same is installed.

For example, in order to store not only drinks but also ingredients (ingredients) so that both can be eaten at the same time (one-handed drinking), for example, as in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2010-515625 (Patent Document 1), It would be possible to make the spout larger so that food can also be stored or dispensed, but as expected with such a configuration, a large amount of beverage will be poured out and it will not be possible to drink just the food. Therefore, even after drinking the entire drink, only the ingredients remain and a considerable amount of leftover food is left behind.Therefore, no product has been developed that allows the user to drink only the ingredients with one hand until the end.

In other words, if you are trying to create a container that allows you to eat and drink only the ingredients, or a container that does not leave behind food as mentioned above, you should design the container so that it can be opened wide as before, so that you can use chopsticks or other containers. We had no choice but to design a container that could be eaten using eating aids such as spoons.

In other words, for example, whether it's ramen, simmered food, or a drink with fruit, the beverage is poured out to a minimum, and only the ingredients are poured into a container that can be eaten with one hand, as if drinking with one hand. The product had not yet been developed or proposed.

Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 3, the present applicant has made an epoch-making invention that can realize a ramen container and a fruit-filled drink container that allow you to eat the ingredients with one hand as if you were drinking with one hand (trumpet drinking). . In other words, when you want to eat or drink food, simply open the cap or lid, hold it with one hand and tilt it as if you were drinking from a trumpet, without using any eating aids such as chopsticks or spoons. Now you can eat ramen and fruit with one hand without having to drink alcohol, and while working or driving, you can eat and drink quickly with one hand without polluting your surroundings or creating any extra garbage, which will further revolutionize food culture. We have invented a revolutionary portable food storage container that can be used to store food.

By improving existing plastic bottles, water bottles, and tumblers with airtight lids, this invention can be used not only for noodle dishes such as ramen, but also for various food products such as simmered dishes, fruit drinks, and other dishes and drinks containing ingredients. If this style of eating and drinking becomes popular, revolutionary products will be planned and commercialized one after another, and variations in portable food will also be introduced. This is an epoch-making invention that will increase food consumption and contribute to industrial development.

On the other hand, for example, as shown in Utility Model Registration No. 3134971 (Patent Document 2),
In order to prevent miso soup ingredients from sinking to the bottom and being difficult to grab with chopsticks or forget to eat when making miso soup in a cup, a perforated inner partition with uniform water holes is placed inside the miso soup cup. An instant miso soup cup container has been proposed in which miso soup ingredients are placed on top of the cup, making it easier to remove the ingredients with chopsticks, but this cup container still has an opening at the top. The top opening is opened wide by removing the paper lid or cover covering the lid, and is designed to be eaten and eaten using chopsticks.Once opened, the bag cannot be opened and closed tightly, and cannot be turned upside down or shaken. Although it is possible to drink miso soup without using chopsticks by attaching the mouth to the rim of the top opening of the cup container, the idea of eating the ingredients in this way without chopsticks and its purpose are Disclosing the idea of regulating the amount of miso soup that flows out and adjusting the flow rate, that is, disclosing the idea of regulating the amount of miso soup to a small extent and eating it by drinking only the ingredients, much less disclosing the idea of eating with one hand as mentioned above. There isn't any.

Embodiments of the present invention that are considered suitable will be briefly described by showing the effects of the present invention based on the drawings.

For example, the installation legs 6 are brought into contact with the bottom of the container body 1 of a portable food storage container such as a water bottle or a tumbler with a lid, so that the food support 5 is partitioned at a predetermined height inside the container body 1. The foodstuff supporter is then placed inside the container body 1.

For example, a portable food storage container such as a water bottle or a tumbler with a lid is inserted into the container main body 1, the installation legs 6 are brought into contact with the bottom part, and the peripheral part of the food support part 5 is brought into close contact with the inner surface. The support part 5 is arranged at a predetermined height inside the container main body part 1 in a vertically partitioned state, and the present foodstuff supporter is installed in the container main body part 1.

The food support part 5 arranged in a partitioned state of the food support is provided with a water passage hole 8 whose size is set such that the food material 4 does not pass through but the beverage 3 passes through. The drink 3 is poured out from the drinking spout 2 at the top through the water passage hole 8.

Further, when the container main body 1 is tilted with the hand held and the beverage 3 is poured into the mouth from the spout 2, the food support 5 flows through the water passage hole 8 of the food support 5. The amount of the beverage 3 flowing from the bottom or outside to the top or inside is regulated, and together with the regulated small amount of the beverage 3 that flows out, the food 4 supported and held by the food support 5 is removed from the drinking spout 2. The height position of the food material support part 5 and the water flow are adjusted so that the food material 4 inside the container body part 1 can be poured into the mouth and eaten by tilting it by hand without using an eating aid. The total opening area or opening position of the hole 8 is set.

Therefore, the food storage state is such that the beverage 3 and the food ingredients 4 are stored in the container body 1, and the stored food ingredients 4 are supported and held by the food support part 5 provided in the container body 1 in a partitioned manner. As mentioned above, when the container body 1 is tilted with the hand held and the beverage 3 is poured into the mouth from the spout 2, the total opening area or the opening position is set at a predetermined height position. is set to a predetermined value or a predetermined position.The amount of the beverage 3 flowing from the lower side to the upper side of the food product support part 5 is regulated through the water passage hole 8 of the food product support part 5, which is set to a predetermined value or a predetermined position. Then, the food 4 is washed away by this regulated small amount of beverage 3, or along the flow of this beverage 3, the food 4 is poured out together with this regulated small amount of beverage 3 into the mouth from the drinking spout 2.

Therefore, the food 4 can be eaten or eaten by tilting it by hand without using eating aids such as chopsticks, that is, the food 4 can be eaten with one hand as if drinking with one hand. In other words, after drinking a small amount of beverage 3, or after drinking a small amount of beverage 3 and ingredient 4 together, or before drinking a large amount of beverage 3, to the extent that it is flavored by beverage 3 or soaked in beverage 3. With only a small amount of beverage 3, approximately only the food material 4 is dispensed, so that the food material 4 can be eaten with one hand.

That is, by simply placing your mouth on the spout 2 as if drinking with one hand, carrying the container body 1 with one hand, and tilting it with that hand, water can be passed through the food support portion 5 that partitions the inside of the container body 1. Due to the shape, number, and arrangement of the holes 8 (total opening area and distribution opening arrangement), the amount of the drink 3 on the lower side flowing upward is regulated and becomes a small amount, and this regulated small amount of the drink 3 flows out. The food material 4 is washed away by this small amount of beverage 3 or along this flow, and is poured into the mouth from the spout of the drinking spout part 2, and the food material 4 can be drunk with one hand without using chopsticks as desired. This means that you can eat it with one hand.

In addition, the present invention provides the food support portion 5 that achieves the above-mentioned functions and effects in a partitioned manner within the container body portion 1 of a portable food storage container, without the need for processing the container body portion 1 as described above. By simply inserting this food support into the container body 1 and simply grounding the installation legs 6 to the bottom of the container body 1, the food support 5 can be partitioned at a predetermined height. The desired portable food storage container can be completed.

Specifically, for example, the portable food storage container can be an existing or commercially available water bottle or a tumbler with a lid, and the mass-produced food support device can be inserted into the container main body 1 and stored therein. Therefore, a portable food storage container that achieves the above-mentioned effects can be easily realized, and for example, as described above, it is possible to easily provide a so-called bottled ramen that can be drunk with one hand (eaten with one hand).

That is, noodles (for example, ramen noodles) are placed in advance as the food material 4 on the upper part of the food support section 5, which is provided in a water bottle or tumbler at a predetermined height as a top and bottom partition and is provided with a predetermined water passage hole 8. If you want to place and store the noodles and add chunks, powder, or liquid soup base in advance, pour hot water 17 over the noodles, but if the noodles are boiled rather than instant dried noodles, pour the finished soup. put in. Even in the case of instant noodles, if you put a lid on it and turn it upside down, it will soften and loosen in a few minutes, and you can also shake it to ensure that the noodles are immersed in the liquid and the soup base is melted and mixed to form a uniform soup.

In this way, the present invention has an extremely practical configuration, as by using a container that can be sealed with a lid that can be opened and closed, it can not only be sealed while eating or drinking, but also be turned upside down and shaken. Become. For example, in this way, you can sell packaged ramen for takeout, or in the case of instant ramen, you can sell instant ramen in a bottle that is ready in a few minutes after pouring hot water. By tilting the beverage 3 by hand and allowing the soup as a beverage 3 to flow out in a controlled manner from the water passage hole 8 of the food support part 5 to the drinking spout part 2, not only can the noodles be eaten and eaten together with the soup, but also By regulating the outflow to the top or inside of the outer beverage 3, the noodles and ingredients are poured out from the spout 2 into the mouth as desired by the outflow of the limited amount of soup, and the chopsticks This makes it possible to easily provide extremely revolutionary and innovative bottled noodles that allow you to eat just the noodles and ingredients with one hand as desired without using eating aids such as .

A concrete example 1 of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

This example can be held in the hand and tilted to store and install it in a portable beverage container such as a water bottle or a tumbler with a lid that has an existing heat insulating structure or cold storage structure.

Due to the shape, number, and arrangement (total opening area and distribution opening arrangement) of the water passage holes 8, the flow of the beverage 3 from the lower side to the upper side is regulated and becomes a small amount, and this regulated small amount of the beverage 3 flows out. The food 4 is washed away by this small amount of beverage 3 or along this flow, and is poured into the mouth from the spout of the drinking spout 2, and the user drinks only the food 4 with one hand as desired without using chopsticks. This means that you can eat it with one hand. When you want to mainly drink the beverage 3, you can change the orientation of the container main body 1 by holding it differently and tilt it with the side where many water holes 8 are formed toward you, which will reduce the flow restriction. A large amount of beverage 3 is poured out and can be drunk with one hand.

In addition, the height of the food support portion 5, the arrangement, shape, number, etc. of the water holes 8, etc. are determined by the product to be planned, that is, the shape of the container body 1, the food material 4 and beverage 3 to be stored, and how to eat and drink this. Although the design is determined depending on the degree of outflow restriction desired, in this embodiment, a closed support surface portion 10 is provided in the center of the circular food support portion 5 with no or almost no water passage holes 8 formed therein. , a beverage regulation outflow support surface 11 is provided on the front periphery with a plurality of small water passage holes 8 formed in parallel (fewer numbers are formed in parallel compared to the opposite periphery), and the opposite periphery on the opposite side is provided with a support surface 11 for water flow during outflow. A structure in which a separate beverage regulation outflow support surface part 11 is provided which acts as an air vent hole to prevent pulsating outflow, and when drinking with the opposite side facing the front, the regulation of the beverage 3 is reduced and a relatively large amount of food and drink 3 can be drunk. There is. Note that it is desirable that the size, position, and number of the water passage holes 8 be set to optimal values through repeated experiments.
