Description

  The present invention relates to a container including a container body and a lid.

  When selling warm foods such as fried foods and fried noodles, foods may be stored and displayed in containers provided with a container body and a lid. However, it is generally easy to generate water vapor from warm food, and the generated water vapor adheres to the inner surface of the lid and drops as water droplets on the container, impairing the flavor of the container or deteriorating the appearance of the container. . In addition, a container containing a large amount of water such as boiled food or fried noodles tends to stick to the inner surface of the container.

  Therefore, a container provided with a vent or an air inlet has been proposed in order to prevent water droplets from adhering to the inner surface of the lid (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Water drops generated from the contents (not shown), sauces, juices, etc. contained in the contents are guided to the bottom inclined portions 11b, 11c and collected at the peripheral edge of the bottom 11, and the flavor of the contents is impaired. Can be prevented.

  The width in the direction traversing (orthogonal) the ridge line 11a is narrower in the first bottom inclined part 11b than in the second bottom inclined part 11c, that is, the ridge line 11a is offset at the bottom 11 with respect to the transverse direction. The two widths may be the same, or the width of the first bottom inclined portion 11b may be wider than the width of the second bottom inclined portion 11c. In addition, one of the first bottom slope portion 11b and the second bottom slope portion 11c may not be sloped downward. In this case, legs (not shown) may be appropriately provided on the bottom surface of the container 1 so that the container 1 placed on the horizontal plane can be kept horizontal.

  The rib 11d protruding inward of the container 1 is provided so as to extend parallel to the ridge line 11a in the second bottom inclined portion 11c. The rib 11d not only reinforces the container 1, but also functions as an anti-slip material. The rib 11d may or may not be provided on at least one of the first bottom inclined portion 11b and the second bottom inclined portion 11c. The groove 11e is provided at the peripheral edge of the bottom part 11 so as to surround the first bottom part inclined part 11b and the second bottom part inclined part 11c, and moisture (water droplets, sauces, juice, etc.) contained in the contained material is provided in the groove 11e. Can accumulate inside. In this embodiment, the groove 11e is not provided in the peripheral edge portion corresponding to the main body side wall portion 12a, but may be provided.

  The pair of ribs 15 are provided in the vicinity of the peripheral edge portion of the bottom portion 11 so as to be separated by a predetermined distance. The set of ribs 15 is provided between two outer ribs 13a and 13b that protrude outward from the container 1 and two outer ribs 13a and 13b that protrude inward from the container 1. And ribs 14. Each of the ribs 13 and 14 extends parallel to the ridge line 11a in a region adjacent to the main body side wall portions 12b and 12d on both sides, and crosses (orthogonally) the ridge line 11a in a region adjacent to the front main body side wall portion 12c. Extend. The first set of ribs 15 ′ and the second set of ribs 15 ″ are adjacent to each other and provided on the bottom 11 (see FIGS. 1 to 3). As an example, the main body side wall part 12 may be further extended upward along the rising direction of the main body side wall part 12 and extended to the main body side wall part 12, or a set of ribs 15 may be provided on the main body side wall part 12 separately from the bottom part 11. It may be provided.

  The main body of the container is not in surface contact with the inner surface of the container 1 but in line contact with the inner rib 14, and moisture (water droplets, sauces, juice, etc.) contained in the container is on both sides of the inner rib 14. It is possible to prevent the contents from sticking to the inner surface of the container 1 by being released by the grooves of the two outer ribs 13 provided. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent a solid container such as a hamburger from being deformed in the container 1.

[About the lid 20]
The lid body 20 has a shape in which lid body side wall portions 22 (22a to 22d) are provided around the four sides of the substantially rectangular top portion 11 so that the lower side is opened when the lid is closed. The top portion 11 may be a polygon other than a substantially rectangular shape so as to correspond to the shape of the bottom portion 11. The hinge part 2 is connected to the lid side wall part 22a.

  The top portion 21 is separated from the hinge portion 2 and the first top slope portion 21b that slopes downward (when the lid is closed) toward the hinge portion 2 with a ridge line 21a extending along the longitudinal direction of the hinge portion 2 as a boundary. In this way, the second top inclined portion 21c is inclined downward (when the lid is closed). The water vapor generated from the contained material and adhering to the inner surface of the top portion 21 and forming water droplets is guided to the peripheral portion of the lid body 20 by the top slope portions 21b and c, and then the lid side wall portion 22 and the main body side wall portion 12 are guided. Then, it is collected in the container main body 10 (groove 11e). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the flavor of the contents from being impaired or the appearance of the contents from being deteriorated.

  In addition, although the width | variety of the direction which crosses the ridgeline 21a (orthogonal) is narrower than the 2nd top inclination part 21c in the 1st top inclination part 21b, it may be the same and the 1st top inclination part 21b may be wider than the second top slope portion 21c. Further, one of the first top slope part 21b and the second top slope part 21c may not be sloped downward.

  The inclination angle of the first celestial inclination part 21b, the inclination angle of the second celestial inclination part 21c, and the first bottom part so that the shape of the upper surface of the heaven part 21 and the shape of the lower surface of the bottom part 11 correspond The inclination angle of the inclined portion 11b and the inclination angle of the second bottom inclined portion 11c are substantially the same, the width of the first top inclined portion 21b, the width of the second top inclined portion 21c, and the second The width of the one bottom inclined portion 11b and the width of the second bottom inclined portion 11c are substantially the same.

  Thus, when another container 1 is loaded on one container 1, the inclination angle of the first bottom inclined portion 11b of the other container 1 and the recess formed by the second bottom inclined portion 11c are one. The inclination angle of the first top slope portion 21b of the container 1 and the convex portion formed by the second top slope portion 21c are fitted to improve the loading efficiency of the container 1 and to stabilize the loading. It is done.

  Similarly to the set of ribs 15, the set of ribs 25 includes two outer ribs 23 a and 23 b that protrude outward from the container 1 and two outer ribs 23 a that protrude inward from the container 1. , 23b, and inner ribs 24 provided between them. The pair of ribs 25 are provided at a predetermined interval so that the ribs 23 and 24 extend in a direction crossing (orthogonal) the ridge line 21a in the first top inclined portion 21b. Each of the ribs 23 and 24 may extend downward along the lid side wall portion 22 a as in the present embodiment, or a pair of ribs 25 may be provided on the lid side wall portion 22 a separately from the top portion 21. It may be provided.

  The other outer ribs 26 projecting outward from the container 1 are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction at the lid side wall portions 22b and 22d on both sides and the front lid side wall portion 22c so as to extend downward. . The other outer ribs 26 may extend upward and extend to the top portion 21 as in this embodiment. Instead of the other outer ribs 26, a set of ribs 25 may be provided on the lid side wall portions 22b to 22d.
