[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 As shown in FIG. 1, a cover 1 of a canned or cupped food container according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with an opening of a canned food container 2 (see FIG. 2) or a cupped food container 9 (see FIG. 6). A cover main body 3 used to cover the upper end of the spoon portion, and a spoon recess portion 4 and a spoon handle portion 5 which are integrally formed on the upper surface portion 3a of the cover body 3 via a connecting portion 40 so as to be separable. In order to cover and protect the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 from above so as not to be contaminated, a sealing film 6 whose edge is closely adhered to the outer peripheral portion of the cover body 3 is provided. I have.

Further, the cover body 3 is formed of a flexible material, preferably a flexible plastic material, and a canned food container 2 (see FIG. 2) A fitting attachment portion 30 is formed to fit exactly into the upper end of the opening of the food container 9 (see FIG. 6).

As shown in FIG. 2, the canned food container 2 is a barrel-shaped container, and the fitting attachment portion 30 of the cover main body 3 is a downward annular flange that covers the entire periphery of the upper end opening of the canned food container 2. . The spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 are connected to the cover body 3 in a detachable manner by connecting portions 40 and 50, respectively, so that the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 can be easily separated from the cover body 3 when the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 are used. These connections can be shredded with force so that they can be removed.

Referring to FIG. 3B and FIG. 1, the eating and drinking utensil 7 including the cover body 3, the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 is injection-molded with the same plastic material. At the time of injection molding of the cover main body 3, the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 are formed separately from the cover main body 3 via the connecting portions 40 and 50, respectively. This one-piece design is suitable for mass production to keep manufacturing costs low.

The spoon recess 4 has a recess 41 and a connection neck 42 extending from one end of the recess 41. The connection neck portion 42 has a plurality of elongated cutouts 420 extending in one lateral direction, and a plurality of finger-shaped portions 421 divided by the elongated cutouts 420.

The spoon handle 5 has a handle main body 51 for holding by hand, and a connection neck 52 used to connect to the connection neck 42 of the spoon recess 4. 52 has a plurality of connecting vertical projections 520 which are shaped to be able to stand up from one side and be pushed into the elongated notch 420 of the connecting neck 42 of the spoon recess 4 from the side. The horizontal width of the connecting vertical projection 520 is tapered so as to gradually increase from the base to the upper end, and after the connecting vertical projection 520 and the finger 421 are engaged, the spoon handle 5 The connection neck 52 is prevented from easily falling out of the connection neck 42 of the spoon recess 4.

The sealing film 6 covering the upper surface of the cover body 3 is made of a transparent material that contracts when heated. After the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 are integrally formed with the cover main body 3, the sealing film 6 is adhered to the upper end side peripheral surface of the cover main body 3 by the sealing machine. When the food is put on the opening of the canned food container 3, the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 as the eating and drinking utensil 7 are covered and protected so as not to be contaminated. After sealing, the canned food container 3 is disinfected by high heat, but at this time, the sealing film 6 is tightly stretched by heat (because the sealing film shrinks when heated). ). The cover body 3 is directly put on the canned food container by the packaging machine, and the sealing film 6 is sealed directly on the cover body 3 by the sealing machine, so that the worker can use the spoon recess 4 or the spoon handle during the packaging operation. There is no direct contact with 5 and it is sanitary.

Next, a case where the eating and drinking utensil according to the present invention is used will be described below with reference to FIGS. When using eating and drinking utensils, first, the cover body 3 is removed from the canned food container 2 (see FIG. 2) or the cup-filled food container 9 (see FIG. 6), and the cover body is covered in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Gently grasp the body 3 from both sides. When the cover body 3 is compressed in the radial direction, the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 are pushed out and come out. Then, the user tears off the connecting portions 40 and 50 and separates the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 from the cover body 3. After separation, the connection vertical protrusion 520 is pushed into the notch 420 (see FIGS. 3B and 4), and the connection neck 52 of the spoon handle 5 is connected to the connection neck 42 of the spoon recess 4 to drink. Use as food.

When separating the spoon recess and the spoon handle 5 from the cover body 3, the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 are removed from the cover body 3 by removing the spoon recess 4 and the spoon handle 5 from the back side of the cover body 3. Even if it is released, the sealing film 6 is still intact and is not damaged, and even if the canned food container or the cup-filled food container cannot be completely eaten, the cover body 3 retains the canned food 2 or the cup-filled food 9. It can be put on again to save.

Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the eating and drinking utensil 7 formed with the cover main body 3 is a fork, and the fork body 8a and the fork handle 8b are integrally formed with the cover main body 3, and other than the eating and drinking utensil. Since the configuration is the same as that of the previous embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted.
