Published Utility Model Utility Model 7-7385

  Traditionally, it was cumbersome and cumbersome to wait while looking at the time after pouring hot water, and sometimes it was too early and hard, or too long and too soft to damage the taste and texture There were many.

  Furthermore, the technology according to the published utility model No. 7-4385 gazette puts temperature paper that changes its color by sensing temperature on a lid such as a cup ramen, and displays what color it is ready to eat. By knowing when to eat. However, the set color that appears depending on the temperature is not a single color, but varies from low to high. Even if it is displayed, while you are obsessed with when to change, forget some suitable color, and because it is a subtle color change, it takes a short time of 3 minutes or 5 minutes This technique has inconveniences and drawbacks, such as being unable to measure accurately and often failing to obtain a stable eating time.

  In order to eliminate the conventional inconveniences and disadvantages described above, the present invention provides a friction ink according to claim 1 in which marks, pictures and characters displayed on a lid attached to a container become transparent and disappear at a predetermined temperature. By displaying, it is possible to know the exact time of eating at a glance.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the friction ink display is applied to the display sticker, so that it can be adjusted for a predetermined time and provided on an existing product by the thickness of the sticker.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the above-described friction ink display is displayed so as to cover the upper surface of the normal ink display that does not disappear with heat, so that a display at the time of eating appears after the disappearance.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when the above-described friction ink is transparent or disappears at 60 degrees Celsius, time measurement is stable and clear discrimination is possible.

  The lid of the instant food container according to the present invention is transparent at 60 degrees Celsius, so the displayed marks, pictures and letters disappear and it is easy to understand when eating, so it is very unique and not seen before Provide instant food containers.

  Further, in claim 2, it is not necessary to display the friction ink display on the display sticker with the adhesive so that it can be displayed on the lid surface, or it can be dealt with immediately by sticking it on an existing instant food container. The type shown in claim 3 is a normal ink that displays “When this mark disappears, it is time to eat” and displays the friction ink so as to cover its upper surface. It disappears and the characters displayed when eating appear, making it easy for children and elderly people to understand.

  Further, in claim 4, since the above-described friction ink is an ink that has been practically confirmed to be transparent at 60 degrees and reappeared after minus 10 degrees in many years of testing, the color changes depending on the temperature. Since it is not ambiguous like changing temperature paper or temperature paint, even if it is set as short as 3 minutes or 5 minutes, there is little error, it is possible to know when to eat properly, the cost is also cheap and wide An instant food container that tells you when to eat.
