[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional multifunction trays 100A and 100B, the cup storage portions 101 and 103 are fixedly formed, and when only one cup is stored, one cup storage portion is wasted. I had a problem. In addition, when the separated fast-line parts 105 are used, the fast food storage parts 102 and 104 have a large opening on one side, and there is a problem that fast food such as a hamburger may jump out of the tray and fall. Was. Further, since the cup storage portions 101 and 103 are storage portions dedicated to the cups, there is a problem that a fast food such as a hamburger cannot be stored. Furthermore, since the periphery of the cup storage portions 101 and 103 requires a certain amount of strength, a space is required on the high level surface (the surface formed to form the highest level) of the multi-function trays 100A and 100B. There is a problem that the multifunction tray itself becomes large.

In order to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a compact multi-function tray capable of storing either a cup or a fast food and preventing the fast food from dropping.

According to a second aspect of the present invention for solving such a problem, in the first aspect of the invention, a vertical rib is formed on a steeply inclined surface. This structure has the effect of increasing the area of the lower plane in the entire plane area.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a multifunction tray according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. It is a -B line sectional view. 1 to 3, 1A is a multifunctional tray having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, 2 and 4 are short-side tray side walls, 3 and 5 are long-side tray side walls, and 6 is a top surface. The formed outermost high-level surface, 7 is a low-level surface formed at a first predetermined depth from the high-level surface 6 to the inside of the high-level surface, and 8 is a sharp surface formed between the high-level surface 6 and the low-level surface 7. An inclined surface, 9 is a vertical rib formed in a vertical direction along the steeply inclined surface, 10 is a recessed storage portion formed at a second predetermined depth from the lower surface 7, and 11 is a bottom surface of the storage portion 10. , 12 is a substantially vertical vertical wall which rises from the bottom surface 11 to the lower surface 7, 13 is a two-step stairway portion formed partially projecting inward from the vertical wall surface 12, 13a is an upper inclined surface of the stairway portion 13, 13b Is a lower slope of the staircase 13, 14 is a horizontal part of the staircase 13, and 15 is a hamburger. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first predetermined depth is deeper than the second predetermined depth, and is, for example, about three times the second predetermined depth. Further, the inclined surfaces 13a and 13b have an inclination angle matched to the shape of the cup, and the minimum interval (interval in the horizontal portion 14) between the opposed upper inclined surfaces 13a is slightly smaller than the minimum diameter of the large cup 1C. The minimum distance between the lower inclined surfaces 13b facing each other (the distance on the bottom surface 11) is slightly smaller than the minimum diameter of the medium / small cup 1c. This also applies to the relationship between the inclined surfaces 13a and 13b and the inner side surfaces of the tray side wall portions 2 and 4 facing each other.

With respect to the multi-function tray 1A configured as described above, a method of storing stored items will be described.

First, a method of storing a drinking cup such as juice will be described for the case where there are three types of sizes of the drinking cup: large, medium and small. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the medium and small drinking cups 1c have the bottom of the cup placed on the bottom surface 11, and the large drinking cup 1C has the bottom of the cup placed on the horizontal portion 14 of the staircase portion 13. . At this time, as described above, since the minimum distance between the opposing inclined surfaces 13a and 13b is slightly smaller than the minimum diameter of the large cup 1C and the medium / small cups 1c, the cups 1C and 1c are stored in the storage section 10. The cups 1C and 1c are firmly fitted into the staircase portion 13 by pushing the cups 1C and 1c toward the bottom face 11 thereof, so that the cups 1C and 1c cannot be easily removed. By placing the cups in this manner, cups of various sizes can be firmly fixed and stored. Since the step portion 13 projects inward from the vertical wall surface 12, there is no possibility that the side wall surface of the drinking cup comes into contact with the vertical wall surface 12 and is deformed.

Next, a method of storing fast food such as a hamburger will be described. The shape of the fast hood can change flexibly, so it is not necessary to match the shape of the storage part with the shape of the fast food. For example, in the case of a hamburger, a small hamburger is mainly supported by the stairs 13, and a large hamburger 15 as shown in FIG. 3 is mainly supported by the steep slope 8. That is, since the steep slope 8 is recessed outwards beyond the stairs 13, for example, in the case of a large circular hamburger, the part protruding outward or upward from the stairs 13 is a steep slope 8. It will move toward and will be supported by the slope 8.

As described above, in this embodiment, the storage unit 10 can store both the cup and the fast food. Then, the user stores the multifunctional tray 1A containing the necessary cups and fast food in a transparent bag or the like and takes it home.

In the present embodiment, the case of the storage unit 10 has a substantially square shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may have various shapes depending on the shape of the cup or the fast food. For example, it may be circular. Although the number of stairs in the stair unit 13 is two, it may be increased to three or four depending on the type of cup.

There is no limitation on the material of the multifunction tray 1A, and for example, polypropylene mixed with talc (talc) can be used. Since the synthetic resin such as polypropylene is elastic, the drinking cups 1C and 1c can be firmly fixed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, drinking cups 1C and 1c of various sizes are firmly fixed to the bottom surface 11 or the horizontal portion 14 of the staircase portion 13, and fast foods of various sizes are provided. Since the steep slope 8 or the stairs 13 are supported, various cups and fast food can be stored together, and there is no opening to the outside, so the fast food does not drop and the steep slope Since the area of the lower surface 7 can be widened by the vertical ribs 8 and the vertical ribs 9 that reinforce it, the multifunctional tray 1A can be made into a compact shape.

(Second Embodiment) FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a multifunction tray according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 4, 1B is a multi-functional tray having a substantially elliptical shape, 21 and 23 are semicircular portions, 22 and 24 are linear portions, and 25 is an outermost high-level surface formed to form the highest surface. , 26 is a low-level surface formed at a first predetermined depth from the high-level surface 25 to the inside of the high-level surface, 27 is a substantially cylindrical steep surface formed between the high-level surface 25 and the low-level surface 26, 28 is a recessed storage portion formed at a second predetermined depth from the lower surface 26, 29 is a bottom surface of the storage portion 28, 30 is a stair portion formed into a cylindrical shape with two steps. Reference numeral 31 is a cylindrical vertical wall surface that rises vertically from the second horizontal portion of the staircase portion 30 to the lower surface 26, and 32 is a projection portion partially formed on the vertical wall surface 31. In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the first predetermined depth is shallower than the second predetermined depth.

With respect to the multi-function tray 1B configured as described above, a method of storing stored items will be described.

First, a method of storing a drinking cup such as juice will be described. In the present embodiment, the bottom of the drinking cup can be placed on the bottom surface 29, the first horizontal portion of the staircase portion 30, and the second horizontal portion of the staircase portion 30. Moreover, the mounted cup can be more firmly fixed by the protrusion 32. As described above, the multifunction tray 1B according to the present embodiment can more firmly fix a large number of cups.

Next, a method of storing fast food such as a hamburger will be described. The shape of the fast hood can change flexibly, so it is not necessary to match the shape of the storage part with the shape of the fast food. For example, in the case of a hamburger, a small hamburger is mainly supported by the staircase portion 30, and a large hamburger is mainly supported by the steep slope 27. Moreover, two types of cylindrical portions having different radii are formed from the staircase portion 30 to the steeply inclined surface 27, so that it is possible to handle hamburgers of various sizes.

As described above, in this embodiment, the storage section 28 can store both the cup and the fast food. Then, the user takes the multifunctional tray containing the necessary cups and fast food in a transparent bag or the like and takes it home.

Although the material of the multifunction tray 1B is not described, the same material as that of the multifunction tray 1A can be used. The same applies to the dimensions.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, drinking cups of various sizes are firmly fixed to the two horizontal portions or the bottom surface 29 of the staircase portion 30, and fast foods of various sizes are attached. Since it is supported by two types of cylindrical parts, various cups and fast hoods can be stored, and since there is no opening to the outside, the fast food does not drop, and due to the steep slope 27. Since the area of the lower surface 26 can be increased, the multifunctional tray 1B can be made into a compact shape.
