Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for a lunch box or the like, and more particularly, to a container for a bowl lunch that is mainly sold at a store or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bowls and other containers sold in conventional stores have a simple box structure for storing cooked rice and prepared foods placed thereon.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention] However, in the conventional bowl lunch box, for example, if the garment of the utensil to be put on the rice, such as a tempura bowl or a katsu bowl, needs a crisp or crispy texture, The ingredients put on top of the cooked rice absorb the steam of the cooked rice over time and become softer, resulting in a completely different texture than when freshly cooked, providing fresh taste. There was a problem that it was not possible. In addition, when a cold bowl lunch is heated in a microwave oven, etc., the steam from the cooked rice is absorbed into the batter, and the steam generated from the batter itself due to the heating of the batter and the heat of the batter itself. There was a problem that this phenomenon would occur more strongly.

[0004] The present invention can solve the above-mentioned problem that the clothing of the ingredient placed on the cooked rice in the conventional bowl lunch absorbs water vapor generated from the cooked rice and the like, thereby reducing the taste. The purpose is to provide a lunch container.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the container body 1 and the lid body 2 and the intermediate lid body 3 having a vapor blocking property for dividing a space surrounded by the container body 1 and the lid body 2 into upper and lower parts. By providing a moisture absorber 4 provided inside the lid 2 and one or a plurality of holes 5 formed in the container body 1, the above-mentioned problem of the conventional lunch container is solved. is there.

[0006]

The inside of the lunch container is divided into upper and lower parts by the intermediate lid 3, and steam from the cooked rice in the lower part 6 is blocked by the intermediate lid 3 and does not pass to the upper part 7. In addition, excess steam generated from the cooked rice can escape from the plurality of holes 5 formed in the container body 1 to the outside of the container. Further, water vapor generated from the tool itself due to heating of the tool placed on the intermediate lid 3 or heat of the tool itself is also absorbed by the moisture absorber 4 provided inside the lid 2, so that the clothes of the tool become steamy. Absorbing is avoided.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a lunch container according to the present invention in which a lid is removed, and FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. As shown in these figures, the lunch container of the present invention may be a bowl-like container, a square container of a square shape, or any shape such as a round shape or an elliptical shape. Needless to say.

[0008]

An embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The container body 1 and the lid 2 are made of foamed resin. The foam resin is selected from heat-resistant polystyrene resin, polyolefin resin, etc. The container body 1 has a bowl shape. The container body 1 is provided with a plurality of holes 5 for venting steam. The container body 1 is covered with an intermediate lid 3 having no vapor permeability. The intermediate lid 3 is made of the above-mentioned foamed resin, and the edge of the intermediate lid 3 is formed so as to hang on the edge of the container body 1. Therefore, the intermediate lid 3 does not slip down. In the example of FIG. 2, the intermediate lid 3 is divided into two parts, and after heating, each of the divided intermediate lids 3 is pulled out of the container, so that the tool placed on the intermediate lid 3 is It can be put on rice without touching the ingredients. Further, the container body 1 and the intermediate lid 3 are further covered by the lid 2. The lid 2 has a moisture absorber 4 inside for absorbing water vapor generated from the tool. The moisture absorbent 4 may be, for example, a soft and thick paper, a highly water-absorbent nonwoven fabric, or a highly water absorbent such as a water absorbent resin. In the above description, the intermediate lid 3 is made of a foamed resin. However, it goes without saying that a film made of polyethylene or polyvinylidene chloride having low water vapor permeability may be used. If the liquid to be sagged is placed in a small heat-resistant container and placed on the intermediate lid 3, the sagging is also heated during heating, so it is advisable to pour the ingredients and rice just before the taste.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the lid 2 is provided with a rib 8 for restricting movement of the tool by the intermediate lid 3 when the intermediate lid 3 is pulled out. Thereby, even if the intermediate lid 3 is pulled out, the tool can be positioned in the middle of the container body 1 without shifting in the pulling direction. Further, the intermediate lid 3 has a flat plate shape. Therefore, the intermediate cover 3 is not divided unlike the first embodiment. A moisture absorber 4 is adhered to the inside of the lid 2. Also, a hole is formed in the lid 2 so that the water vapor generated from the ingredients is absorbed by the absorber 4 and escapes out of the container. FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the intermediate lid 3, the container body 1, and the lid 2. FIG. 4 (a) is a view showing a state in which the intermediate lid 3 has been fitted into the container body 1 after the rice body has been packed into the container body 1, as viewed from above. A groove 12 is provided in the edge 11 of the container body 1, and the intermediate lid 3 is fitted into the groove 12 as shown in FIG. 4B showing an A-A cross section shown in FIG. It has become. FIG. 4 (c) shows the lunch container of the present invention after the component and the sauce container are placed on the intermediate lid 3 and the lid 2 is attached, as viewed from the right side of FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). FIG. The lid 2 is provided with a notch 13 so that the intermediate lid 3 can be pulled out. After heating, by pulling out the drawer end 9 protruding from the container body 1 of the intermediate lid 3, the ingredients can be immediately placed on the cooked rice without touching the ingredients.

[0010]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the lunch container of the present invention has an intermediate lid having a steam blocking characteristic of vertically dividing a space surrounded by the container body 1 and the lid 2 and the container body 1 and the lid 2. Since the body 3, the moisture absorbing body 4 provided inside the lid body, and one or a plurality of holes 5 formed in the container body 1, the clothing of the ingredient placed on the cooked rice is The present invention has the effect of providing a bento container that can enjoy a freshly prepared state without the problem that the taste is reduced by absorbing water vapor generated from cooked rice or the like. In addition, despite its excellent taste, it can be easily eaten by simply pulling out the intermediate lid 3 at the time of taste, so that it is not inferior to ordinary lunch containers in comparison with ordinary lunch containers. There is an effect that can be provided.
