DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food container, and more particularly, to a food container such as instant noodles, and more particularly to a lid thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional food container of this type will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body made of styrene foam or the like. The container body 1 stores foods such as instant noodles. Thus, the container body 1
A cover 2 is provided on the upper surface opening of the device, and a peripheral portion thereof is adhered with a strong adhesive 3 so as not to be easily peeled off.

[0003] A circular hole 4 is formed in the center of the cover 2. The circular hole 4 is covered with a circular small lid 5 and one side of the small lid 5. 5a is adhered to the cover 2 with a strong adhesive 3a, and the other side portion 5b is adhered with an adhesive 3b that can be repeatedly bonded. Furthermore, this adhesive 3
b is attached to the tip of the other side 5b.
c is protruding. Thus, when eating the food contained in the container body, one side 5a of the small lid 5 is peeled off from the cover, and hot water is poured from the circular hole 4 provided in the cover 2, The peeled portion is again adhered to the upper surface of the cover 2 to keep the food warm.

[0004]

In the above conventional example, the circular hole provided in the center of the cover is covered with a small lid using an adhesive which can be used in an inverted manner. Over time, the adhesive strength may be reduced, and the sealing state of the circular hole may be deteriorated. At that time, there arises a problem that the quality of the food in the food container is reduced or deteriorated.

[0005] Therefore, a technique to be solved in order to prevent the quality of the food in the food container from deteriorating or deteriorating and to form a hole to be opened in the center of the cover. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the problem.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been proposed to achieve the above-mentioned object, in which a cover is provided on a container body made of styrene foam or the like, and
A hole was provided at the approximate center of the cover, and hot water was poured from the hole.
Thereafter, the hole is closed with a small lid or the like to keep the food in the container warm.
In the container formed as described above, a cut line for perforating the hole provided in the center of the cover is formed at the periphery of the hole.
A strong adhesive is provided over the entire circumference of the portion, and when a hole is opened along the cut line, one end of an adhesive tape-shaped small lid body for opening the hole is used. The small lid is formed to be rotatable about the bonding portion as a pivot point, and the lower surface of the small lid is formed on an adhesive surface, and the small lid is separated from the adhesive surface. An object of the present invention is to provide a food container on which a pattern is mounted.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. For convenience of explanation, parts corresponding to those of the prior art will be described at the same time using the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body made of styrene foam or the like. The container body 1 stores foods such as instant noodles. A cover 2 is provided on the top opening of the container body 1 and the periphery thereof is adhered with a strong adhesive so as not to be easily peeled off.

A cut line 4 is provided at the center of the cover 2 at the periphery of the circular hole 3 for forming the circular hole 3, and the cut line 4 is formed on the cover 2. Hole piece 5 which is provided over the meat portion 2a and is surrounded by the cut line 4.
Is peeled off, for example, by pressing it from above with chopsticks 6, and the circular hole 3 can be formed.

On the upper surface of the circular hole 3 formed by the cut line 4, a small lid 7 in the form of an adhesive tape is mounted. As shown in FIG. 1, the small lid 7 is formed in a substantially circular shape having a larger diameter than the circular hole 3, and the shapes of the circular hole 3 and the small lid 7 are square or elliptical. Other shapes may be formed. The lower surface of the one end 7a of the small lid 7 is adhered to the cover 2 with a strong adhesive 8, and is configured to be able to rotate up and down with the adhesive portion as a pivot. Further, the back surface of the small lid body 7 other than the adhesive portion is formed on an adhesive surface 9, and when the release paper 10 is adhered to the adhesive surface 9 and the adhesive surface 9 is not used, the adhesive surface 9 The surface 9 is formed so as not to adhere to the surface of the cover 2.

Thus, when eating the food contained in the container body 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. When the body 7 is rotated upward, and the tip of the chopstick 6 is pressed against the substantially central portion of the hole piece 5 as shown in FIG. From the cover 2. Therefore, a circular hole 3 is formed at the exfoliated hole piece 5. When the circular hole 3 is opened in this way, the hot water is poured from the circular hole 3, while the release paper 10 attached to the back surface of the small lid 7 rotated upward is peeled off from the adhesive surface 9. . At this time, the release paper 10 is
It is more easily peeled off. Then, the small lid 7 is rotated downward again using the bonding portion of the one end 7 a as a pivot, and is pressed against the surface of the cover 2. In such a case, the small lid 7 has the adhesive surface 9 adhered to the surface of the cover 2 to completely seal the container body 1, thereby promoting the heat retention of the food in the container body 1. Then, if the cover 2 is peeled off from the container body 1 in a state where the food is kept sufficiently warm, the food can be eaten while taking out the food from the opening on the upper surface of the container body 1 as in the related art.

The present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention naturally extends to the modified ones.

[0013]

Effects of the Invention The present invention as causes described in detail in the above embodiment, the center portion of the cover which is FutaSo the upper opening of the container body score line for providing a hole is provided Tei
You. Thus, the score line extends all around the periphery of the hole.
Because it is kicked, the holes piece is surrounded by該切write line
Since a hole is opened in the center of the cover by peeling through the score line, outside air does not enter from the score line except for eating food in the container body. , the food is cut off completely from the outside air, therefore,
Naturally, the food does not deteriorate even after a long time. Thus, the user tries to eat the food in the food container body.
Sometimes through a pivot point provided at one end of the small lid
Then, the small lid is rotated upward. At this time,
Adhesive surface is formed on the back surface other than the adhesion site,
In addition, since release paper is adhered to the adhesive surface, the adhesive surface
When not using the adhesive, the adhesive surface
It will not stick and hinder the rotation operation of the small lid.
No. Therefore, the cutout provided at the center of the cover is provided.
Cut the hole surrounded by the wire with the pressing force of chopsticks etc.
By peeling through the wire, a hole is formed in the center of the cover.
Hot water is poured into the food container body through this hole.
Go. On the other hand, it is attached to the back of the small lid
Release the release paper from the adhesive surface, and
Is pivoted downward about the bonding portion of the one end as a pivot point.
And press it against the surface of the cover. If so, the small lid
The adhesive surface adheres to the surface of the cover to complete the container body.
It is completely sealed, and the heat retention of the food in the container body is promoted.
As described above, the present invention is extremely large in that the operation of forming the hole formed in the center portion of the cover and the operation of pouring hot water from the hole and closing the hole again with the small lid are extremely simple. It is an invention that has an advantageous effect.
