[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to a food container for storing foods such as pudding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wide variety of containers of this kind are provided. In each case, food such as pudding is stored in a synthetic resin cup-shaped container provided with a wide outward flange at an upper end opening. After that, the opening of the container body is closed with a sheet-shaped aluminum seal bonded by a flange portion, which is a basic structure, and is well known. In addition, it is customary to provide an opening as a clue for opening a part of the aluminum seal.

[0003] When the pudding is to be enjoyed in this container, the pudding is opened on a separate plate, transferred onto the plate, and scooped with a spoon or the like.

[0004]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] As is well known, pudding is not only different from ice cream, etc., but also tastes unique in shaking each time it is scooped with a spoon on a plate. In the case of the above-described conventional cup-shaped container body, a separate plate for taste is required.

An object of the present invention is to provide a food container such as a pudding which can eliminate the need for a separate plate for taste by forming a body for placing and storing the food contents of the container in a dish-like body.

[0006]

The food container according to the present invention has a dish-like shape in which a U-shaped annular leg 3 is formed at a part of the periphery thereof. The finger hanging plates 5, 5 are protruded at appropriate intervals to the left and right, and both sides are cleavably connected so as to straddle between the opposed edges of the finger hanging plates 5, 5 and the engaging projections are formed on the inner surface. The lock 1 has a lock piece 7 with an upright body 1 and a cup-shaped body. The lower opening of the body 8 is engaged with the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall 9 of the annular leg 3. An outward flange 10 that rides on the outer peripheral wall 4 of 3 is provided.
The cover 2 is provided with a knob 11 projecting from the finger hooking plate 5, 5 and having a tip engaged with the engaging projection 6 at the tip.

[0007]

In the above, when the food 12 such as pudding is to be tasted, a finger is hung on the upper end of the lock piece 7 and the lock piece 7 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
b, Fold outward as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 4b. Then, the joint between the lock piece 7 and the finger hook pieces 5 at the lower sides of the lock piece 7 can be broken by breaking, and the lock by the lock piece 7 can be released. That is, the lock piece 7 serves as a virgin seal.

[0008] Thereafter, a finger is hung on the lower surface of the knob 11 and the upper surface of one of the finger hanging plates 5, and the torsion knob 11 is pushed upward in the opposite direction as shown by the arrows in Figs. Remove a part of the engagement of the lid 2, and then press the finger hooks 5, 5,
The knob 11 is pulled up and the lid 2 is removed from the body 1.

Since the body 1 is a dish-shaped body, the state in which the lid 2 is removed is a state in which the food 12 is placed on the plate, and the food 12 can be tasted in this state.

[0010]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a food container according to the present invention; FIG. It is characterized by points.

First embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 3)

The body 1 has a circular dish-like body having a shallow peripheral wall 13 and is provided with an annular leg 3 having a partially U-shaped cross section from the upper end of the peripheral wall 13 via an outward flange. The outer peripheral wall 4 has a triangular finger hanging plate 5, 5 protruding from the one side of the outer peripheral wall 4 at an appropriate distance to the right and left, and a straddle is formed between the facing edges of the pair of finger hanging plates 5, 5 protruding ends. A plate-shaped lock piece 7 is erected so that both sides of the lower end are rupturably connected to each other as described above, and an engagement projection 6 protrudes from an inner surface of a lower portion of the lock piece 7.

The lock piece 7 can be removed by breaking it outward when it is tilted outward as shown by arrows in FIGS. 1A and 1B, and serves as a virgin seal.

The lid 2 is in the shape of a fold-down cup, and the lower end opening of the body 8 is slightly widened and the lower end opening is fitted to the inner peripheral wall 9 of the annular leg 3. Attach the lid to body 1. In this case, the engagement projections 14 on the inner surface of the lower opening of the body 8 are provided.
Are firmly attached by engaging the corresponding engaging projections 15 on the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall 9. Further, an outward flange 10 is provided from the lower outer surface of the torso 8 on the upper edge of the outer peripheral wall 4 of the annular leg 3. The flange 10 is located at a space between the finger hanging plates 5, 5 from one side of the flange 10 and has a front end. Is engaged with the engaging projection 6 by a knob 11
Is protruding.

On the upper surface of the knob 11, a reinforcing rib 16 is formed. Numeral 12 indicates pudding which is a content food.

In this embodiment, the locking piece 7 is removed to remove the lid 2.
Must be removed. That is, the lock piece 7 serves as a virgin seal. Therefore, when the content pudding 12 is to be tasted, the lock piece 7 is tilted outward as shown by the arrows in FIGS. Thereafter, the thumb is put on the lower surface of the knob 11 and the other finger is hooked on the upper surface of one finger hook 5, and the knob 11 and the finger hook 5 are twisted in the opposite directions so as to release the catch as shown by the arrow in FIG. A part of the lid 2 is pushed upward through the knob 11 to release a part of the engagement of the engagement projections 14 and 15,
After that, while holding down the finger hanging plates 5, 5, the knob 11 is pulled up,
The engagement between the engagement projections 14 and 15 may be released, and the lid 2 may be removed.

Then, the pudding 12 appears in a state of being placed on the body 1, that is, a state of being placed on the plate.

In this embodiment, the engaging projections 14 and 15 may be circumferential stripes, or may be provided in a projecting manner at discrete intervals in the circumferential direction.

Second Embodiment (FIGS. 4 to 6)

In the case of foods such as pudding, there are cases where the food is stored in the container without air. In this case, removing the lid 2 is troublesome. In this embodiment, as a countermeasure,
11 The breaking lines 17 and 17 are provided on the wall of the body 8 of the lid 2 in parallel upward from both sides.

In this embodiment, after the lock piece 7 is broken and removed,
By twisting the knob 11 and the finger-holding piece 5 in opposite directions, as shown in FIG. Hold the finger hooks 5, 5 with and pull the knob 11 upwards, breaking line 17,
At the break of 17, one side of the body 8 is opened, then the knob 11 is pulled up to remove the engaging projections 14 and 15 from the body 1 and remove it.

[0022]

As described above, in the food container such as the pudding of the present invention, the body 1 is shaped like a dish, and the lid 2 is shaped like a cup, so that when the lid 2 is removed, the food 12 such as pudding is removed. Is arranged on a plate as if on a plate, so that it is not necessary to separately prepare a plate for the taste, which is convenient.

The lid 2 has a virgin seal function that cannot be removed unless the lock pieces 7 are broken and removed, so that the quality and safety of the food 12 can be guaranteed.
