DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an egg container molded from synthetic resin sheet material by vacuum molding means, and more specifically, a so-called "hot spring egg" in which only a white portion is made semi-ripened without solidifying a yolk portion. The present invention relates to a hot spring egg container for storing two in a shell with a vacuum-packed soup and selling it over the counter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, this type of hot spring egg container is made by vacuum forming a thin synthetic resin sheet material. In this case, the container has a storage recess along the outer shape of the egg for holding the egg without rattling, and at the same time, large and small ribs and irregularities for reinforcing the container are provided on the storage recess, the wall surface, and the upper and lower surfaces. Is provided.

[0003]

Therefore, the container itself has no use except for packaging hot spring eggs. For example, it is not possible to buy a hot spring egg outdoors and substitute the packaging container as a cup for soup. Very difficult. Therefore, when eating hot spring eggs outdoors, there is always the inconvenience of requiring a cup. In addition, since the container is formed of a thin synthetic resin sheet material, even if the above-described egg storage recesses, ribs for reinforcement, and unevenness are provided, there is a limit to the strength enhancement, and eggs are not sold at the time of over-the-counter sales. There is also a problem that the containers are deformed when the storage containers are stacked and the eggs are damaged.

[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to attach a separately molded cup to a container body in a superimposed state so that a hot spring egg can be eaten at any time outdoors without the need to bring the cup. In addition, to provide a container which can prevent eggs from being damaged at the time of transportation or display at a store, while the container itself is made of a thin synthetic resin sheet, while significantly strengthening its strength. is there.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, the egg container according to the present invention is a vacuum-formed product made of a thin synthetic resin sheet material, which is composed of a container body 1 and a lid 2, and stores two eggs in the container. The container 3 is provided with bag storage portions 5 and 5 for storing a vacuum-packed soup bag 4, and a cup 6 with a flange 6a vacuum-formed with a synthetic resin sheet material is detachably fitted to the outside of the container body 1. This is the structure that is used.

[0006]

In the egg container constructed as described above, the separately formed cup 6 is attached to the container body 1 in a detachably polymerized state, so that the hot spring egg can be used at any time outdoors without having to bring the cup. And the double structure of the container body and the cup remarkably enhances the strength of the container itself, thereby preventing damage to the eggs during transportation and sale.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. This egg container A is a container body 1 having a rectangular shape in plan view.
And a lid 2, and is formed by a vacuum forming means using a thin synthetic resin sheet as a raw material. As a material of the synthetic resin sheet, a transparent or nearly transparent polyvinyl chloride resin sheet is preferable.

The egg container A is provided with egg storage units 3 and 3 for storing two eggs 9 without looseness and bag storage units 5 and 5 for storing a soup bag 4 in which soup is vacuum-packed. The reinforcing rib 7 is provided at least on the outer wall of the lid 2.
However, on the upper surface, a partition wall 8 for separating the left and right egg storage units 3 and 3 is provided.
Is provided.

Further, a cup 6 separately vacuum-formed with a thin synthetic resin sheet material is detachably superposed on the outside of the container body 1. The cup 6 is formed of a relatively flat side wall surface with little unevenness so that it can be used as tableware, and an opening edge is provided with a flange 6a bent outward. This flange 6a allows the cup 6
Is effectively reinforced and serves as a knob when detached from the container body 1.

As described above, the separately molded cup 6 is attached to the container body in a state of being superimposed on the container body, so that the hot spring egg can be eaten at any time outdoors without having to bring the cup. The strength of the egg itself can be remarkably enhanced to prevent the egg from being damaged at the time of transportation or display at a store.

In the present invention, when the cup 6 is superimposed on the container body 1, a slight gap is formed between the bottom surface 1a of the container body 1 and the bottom surface 6b of the cup 6 as shown in FIG. Good to put. Thereby, the buffering effect of the eggs stored in the container and the releasability of the cup 6 can be enhanced.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4,
Although an example in which the container body 1 and the lid 2 are separately molded and closed at the opening edges by the fitting means is shown, instead of this, as shown in FIG. It is a matter of course that one edge portion along the length direction may be integrally connected and formed to be folded back via the hinge 10.

Although the embodiments which are considered to be representative of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. For example, the external design feeling of the container or the cup can be changed as needed. In addition, the present invention can be implemented by appropriately modifying it within the range having the structural requirements, achieving the object of the present invention, and having the following effects.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a separately molded cup is attached to the outside of the container body in a state of being detachably polymerized, so that the cup is not brought together. In addition to being able to eat hot spring eggs at any time outdoors, the container itself is made of a thin synthetic resin sheet due to the double structure of the container body and the cup, but its strength is significantly enhanced while being transported and sold It is possible to prevent damage to the egg at the time in advance
Yes, because the above cup is a flanged cup
The periphery of the opening is reinforced, making it strong and easy to use.
It has a remarkable effect of serving as a knob for removal from the container body .
