  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, the butter storage container according to the present invention can be applied to both commercial and commercial butter as long as it is a solid block butter in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped by adjusting the size of the butter to be stored. it can. In addition, it can be applied to margarine as being similar to butter.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The butter storage container in the first embodiment is composed of a mounting table 10 and a case 20.
The mounting table 10 is made of styrene-based ABS resin, HIPS resin, or the like, and includes a bottom plate 11 on which a solid block-like butter (shown B) is placed, and stopper portions 12 and 12 rising from both longitudinal ends of the bottom plate 11. And the abutting portions 13 and 13 that protrude and extend outward in the longitudinal direction from the upper ends of the stopper portions 12 and 12 are integrally provided. Further, if necessary, appropriate leg portions 14 are integrally provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 11. Here, the bottom plate 11 also serves as a cutting board.

  If the butter to be stored is, for example, business butter and the size is, for example, L125 mm × W65 mm × H60 mm, the bottom plate 11 has a length (stopper portion) so that the butter can be placed and function as a cutting board. 12 and 12) is slightly larger than the length L of the butter, and the width (distance between the side edges) is also larger than the width W of the butter (that is, slightly larger than L × W).

In addition, the upper surface of the bottom plate 11 is preferably a rough surface in order to improve the retention of butter.
Further, the bottom plate 11 is provided with scales 15 at regular intervals along the side edges. The part where the scale 15 is provided is preferably outside the both ends in the width direction of the butter and one step lower than the placing surface of the butter, and provided here with the scale 15 made of concave or convex stripes.

The mounting table 10 is accommodated in the case 20 with butter placed thereon.
The case 20 is made of a transparent or translucent hard polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, or the like, and is made of a rectangular cylindrical case body 21 having one end closed and the other end opened, and a soft polyethylene resin. The detachable lid 22 covering the opening 21 is configured as a so-called plastic sealed container. In addition, although omitted in the drawing, the case main body 21 having a rectangular tube shape has a diameter that increases in a taper shape from the closing portion side to the opening portion side due to a draft in forming.

  When storing, with the rectangular tube-shaped case main body 21 lying sideways, the table 10 on which the butter is placed is inserted from the opening on one end side, and the abutting portion 13 on the distal end side in the insertion direction is used as the closing portion of the case main body 21. Hit it. Then, a lid 22 is attached to the opening of the case body 21 and sealed.

In this state, the abutting portion 13 on the rear end side in the insertion direction of the table 22 is opposed to the inner surface of the lid 22 with a slight gap, and movement of the table 10 in the insertion direction within the case 20 is restricted.
The abutting portions 13 and 13 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the mounting table 10 function as a butting portion to the inner surface of the case 20 as described above, and also function as a handle portion when the mounting table 10 is taken in and out of the case main body 21.

  Such a butter storage container is stored in the refrigerator together with the case 20. In addition, in the refrigerator, the case main body 21 may be stored in the horizontal position, or may be stored in the vertical position with the closed portion side down.

In addition, the case 20 may be configured such that the type of butter (for example, “salted”, “no salt”, “fermentation”), the expiration date, and the like can be displayed with a label or the like.
When using the butter, the entire case 20 is removed from the refrigerator, the lid 22 is opened, and the butter together with the table 10 is removed from the case body 21. At this time, the abutting portion 13 on the opening side may be held as a handle portion and pulled out.

  Then, using the bottom plate 11 of the mounting table 10 as it is as a cutting board, a knife (or a stepper or the like) is inserted so as to cross the butter in the width W direction, and the butter is cut by the thickness in the L direction in the figure corresponding to the required amount. And separate the required amount. At this time, the scale 15 can be used as a necessary amount.

Thereafter, the table 10 is returned to the case body 21 with the remaining butter placed, the lid 22 is put, and the refrigerator is returned to the refrigerator. Therefore, handling is extremely easy.
Further, the mounting table 10 includes the abutting portions 13 and 13 on the inner surface of the case 20 protruding outward in the longitudinal direction from the stopper portions 12 and 12 at both ends in the longitudinal direction, so that the mounting table 10 in the insertion direction of the mounting table 10 in the case 20 can be provided. In addition to restricting movement, the abutting portions 13 and 13 serve as spacers to prevent butter from adhering to the inner surface of the case 20 and can be used as a handle portion when the case 20 is put in and out of the mounting table 10. Further, by making the mounting base 10 symmetrical, it can be inserted from either the left or right direction when stored in the case 20, and handling is also easy in this respect.

  However, if the butter adherence to the closing part side of the case 20 is not a problem, the abutting part 13 on the closing part side is abolished so that the stopper part 12 is directly abutted on the closing part side, and only the opening part side You may make it leave this butting part 13 and make this a handle part.

  In particular, according to the present embodiment, the case 20 can be attached to and detached from the case body 21 having a rectangular tube shape in which one end is closed and the table 10 is inserted from the opening at the other end. Since the cover 22 is covered with the cover 22, it can be stored horizontally or vertically, and the degree of freedom in handling is improved. Moreover, since the opening can be made small and the degree of sealing can be maintained high accordingly, it is resistant to drying and the storage state can be maintained well.

As a modification of the first embodiment, it is conceivable that the mounting table 10 and the lid 22 of the first embodiment are integrated and the whole is constituted by two parts.
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The butter storage container in the second embodiment is composed of a table 10 and a case 30.
The mounting table 10 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
The case 30 is made of resin, and includes a lower case 31 on which the mounting table 10 is mounted, and an upper case 32 that fits on the lower case 31 and covers the upper side of the mounting table 10 (including butter mounted thereon), Consists of In addition, the lower case 31 is a box-shaped body having an upper surface opening, and the upper case 32 is a box-shaped body having a lower surface opening, and is fitted at a peripheral edge portion between the opening portions.

  In this case, the upper case 32 is removed from the lower case 31 when the table 10 is inserted into and removed from the case 30. In this state, the lower case 31 is made shallow so that the table 10 can be easily taken out from the lower case 31 and the table 10 can be easily put into the lower case 31, and the abutting portions 13 and 13 serving as the handle portions. Is exposed from the lower case 31. For this reason, the abutting portions 13, 13 are adapted to abut against the inner surface of the upper case 32.

According to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained except that the table 10 is inserted into and removed from the case 30 only.
Further, a convex portion 33 that also serves as a leg portion is provided on the bottom surface of the lower case 31, while a concave portion 34 is provided on the upper surface of the upper case 32. This is to allow a plurality of butter storage containers (cases 30) to be connected by being vertically fitted as shown in FIG. Thereby, different types of butter and the like can be stored together. In this case, it goes without saying that the bottom side of the lower case 31 may be connected as a concave portion and the upper surface side of the upper case 32 may be connected as a convex portion. It is also conceivable to apply such a connection method to the first embodiment.

  As a modification of the second embodiment, after the lower case 31 of the second embodiment is sufficiently shallow (lower than the upper surface of the mounting table 10), the mounting table 10 and the lower case 31 are integrated, and the whole is made up of two parts. It can also be configured. In this case, the cutting can be performed only by removing the upper case 32.
