Description

  The present invention relates to a gel food packaging container suitable for packaging gel food such as tofu, pudding, mousse, and apricot tofu.

  Tofu is now mass-produced industrially, most of which is filled tofu that has been soaked with soy milk and a coagulant in a packaging container that also serves as a molded container and then hardened by heating. Filled tofu is excellent in preservability, and is often found in mass-market stores such as supermarkets.

  When eating such tofu as a cold drink, move it to the tableware with the opening of the container down, put onions, grated ginger, bonito etc. on the top in that state, and liquid seasoning such as soy sauce and ponzu from there It is common to eat with

  However, since the bottom of many containers is flat, the top surface of the tofu to be molded is also flat, so the liquid seasoning that is applied when eating will immediately flow down from the top surface of the tofu onto the dishes, and often There was an inconvenience that too much liquid seasoning was applied.

  In view of this, various containers have been proposed in which a bulging portion that bulges into the container is formed on the bottom surface so that a concave portion for storing liquid seasoning can be formed on the top surface of tofu (for example, Patent Document 1) To 4).

  By the way, tofu is usually sold in units of one. However, in an increasing number of single-living households, the amount of tofu that can be eaten at one time is large, so one tofu can be divided into half or half so that it can be eaten in multiple portions. A container that is packaged in a state of being divided into quarters has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-18395 Japanese Utility Model Publication No.2-134885 Utility Model Registration No. 3053877 Utility Model Registration No. 3084498 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-154283

  Conventionally, no container has been proposed that satisfies both the formation of a recess for storing liquid seasoning on the top of tofu and the packaging of a single tofu. In this regard, it is conceivable to employ a recessed portion as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 in a container as disclosed in Patent Document 5.

  However, in such a subdivided container simply provided with a recessed portion, when a large number of containers are stacked, the containers adhere to each other over the entire surface, and the number of overlapping containers is larger than that of a single container. Although it is difficult to take out the containers one by one from the stacked state, there is an inconvenience that it is more difficult to take out from the stacked state because the contact area between the containers further increases due to the presence of the recessed portion. . If there is such inconvenience, there arises a problem that in the production of tofu, the containers cannot be smoothly supplied one by one in the process of loading the containers into the apparatus, which causes a problem that the production efficiency is lowered.

  Further, in the conventional subcontainer, no consideration is given to making it easier to subdivide the extracted tofu. For this reason, when the tofu taken out from the container is further subdivided, there is an inconvenience that the size and shape are uneven after the division, and the appearance of the arrangement becomes worse.

  The present invention was devised in view of such points, and its purpose is to be able to deal with subdivision, and when further subdividing the food taken out from the container, it is equally divided into the same shape. An object of the present invention is to provide a gel-like food packaging container that can improve the appearance of the serving and can provide a recessed portion on the upper surface of each food even when divided into equal portions.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the packaging container for a food product according to the present invention has a plurality of container bodies whose openings are slightly wider than the bottom surface and whose peripheral walls are inclined, and the outer peripheral edges of the openings of each container body. A gel food packaging container that is connected via a lid ridge extending from the lid and is separable from a cutting guide line formed on the lid ridge, the container body The peripheral wall is formed with a stepped portion extending outwardly along the opening, while the bottom surface of the container body has at least two bulging portions that bulge into the container body. The protrusions that are formed and project into the container main body are formed from the middle of the bulging portions of the bottom surface to the step portion of the peripheral wall. Here, the gel food refers to foods such as tofu, pudding, mousse, apricot tofu and jelly.

  According to such a gel food packaging container, a plurality of container main bodies are connected via the lid hooks extending from the outer peripheral edge of the opening of each container main body, Since it can be cut and separated from the cutting guide line formed in the collar portion, for example, when two container bodies are connected, a half-divided container is formed, and when four container bodies are connected, a quarter is formed. It can be set as one small container.

  In addition, the bottom surface of the container body is uniformly formed with at least two bulges that bulge into the container body, and the protruding ridges projecting into the container body are formed between the bulges on the bottom surface. Since the food is taken out from the container body, a concave groove is formed from the upper surface to the peripheral wall. Therefore, when the food taken out from the container body is further subdivided, it is possible to arrange the shape and size by simply cutting along the groove, and to provide a good-looking arrangement, and even in subdivided ones A concave portion is secured on the upper surface of each.

  Furthermore, since a stepped portion extending outward along the opening is formed on the peripheral wall of the container main body, it corresponds to the height of the stepped portion between the lid ridges of each container in the stacked state. A gap is formed. Therefore, in the step of loading the container into the food manufacturing apparatus, the take-out locking portions of the loading mechanism can be inserted into the gap, and the containers can be taken out one by one from the many packaging containers in the stacked state.

  In the gel food container, the peripheral wall may have a plurality of corner portions, and a protruding portion that protrudes outward may be formed on the stepped portion of the corner portion.

  In this case, in the stacked state, it is possible to reliably eliminate the possibility that the container main bodies of the containers are completely fitted to each other and a gap is not formed between the lid-engaging portions.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to deal with subdivision, and when further subdividing the food taken out from the container, it can be equally divided into equal shapes and the appearance of the serving can be improved, and each equality is divided. Even if separated, it is possible to provide a gel food packaging container in which a recess is secured on the upper surface of each food.

It is the perspective view which looked at the packaging container for gel-like foodstuffs concerning one embodiment of the present invention from the bottom face side. It is the perspective view which looked at the packaging container for gel-like foods shown in FIG. 1 from the opening part side. It is the top view which looked at the packaging container for gel-like foods shown in FIG. 1 from the opening part side. It is sectional drawing which shows the stack state of the gelatinous food packaging container shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line VV shown in FIG. 3 in the stacked state of the gel food packaging container shown in FIG. 1. It is a perspective view which shows the food taken out from the gel-like food packaging container shown in FIG.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a packaging container for gel food according to the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as a packaging container) will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a gel food packaging container according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the bottom side, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the packaging container as viewed from the opening side, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the stacked state of the packaging container, and FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view taken along line VV shown in FIG. 3 in the stacked state of the packaging container. FIG. 6 and FIG. 6 are perspective views showing the food taken out from the packaging container.

  This packaging container is used for packaging gel foods such as tofu, pudding, mousse, apricot tofu, jelly, etc., and has been conventionally molded from known synthetic resins suitable for the packaging of this type of gel food. It has been done.

  In the packaging container 1 of the present embodiment, four container main bodies 1A having an opening 2 slightly wider than the bottom surface 3 and a gradient in the peripheral wall 4 are extended from the outer peripheral edge of the opening 2 of each container main body 1A. It is connected via the lid hook 5 and can be cut and separated from the cutting guide wire 6 formed in the lid hook 5. Each container main body 1 </ b> A has four corner portions 7 and has a substantially truncated pyramid shape as a whole. The cutting guide line 6 may be a perforation as shown in the illustrated example, or may be a thin part in which the boundary part between the lid ridges 5 is thinner than the other part.

  In addition, the code | symbol 8 in a figure shows the step part for sealing film peeling formed in the corner | angular part of the cover collar part 5 in the four corners of the packaging container 1. FIG. Since the sealing film peeling step 8 is formed, a film (not shown) for sealing the opening 2 floats at this portion, and the sealing film is picked from the floating portion with a fingertip. It can be easily peeled off from the lid collar 5.

  On the peripheral wall of the container main body 1 </ b> A, a stepped portion 9 that extends outward along the opening 2 is formed. Since the step 9 is formed, a gap S corresponding to the height of the step 9 is provided between the lids 5 of the packaging containers 1 in the stacked state as shown in FIG. It is formed. Therefore, in the process of loading the packaging container 1 into the food manufacturing apparatus, the take-out latching portion of the loading mechanism can be inserted into the gap, and the packaging container 1 can be taken out one by one from the many packaging containers 1 in a stacked state.

  In addition, a protruding portion 10 that protrudes outward is formed on the step portion 9 in the corner portion 7. When the projecting portion 10 is formed in this way, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower surface of the projecting portion 10 is surely brought into contact with the upper surface of the lid hooking portion 5, so that in the stacked state, it is unexpected. The possibility that the container main bodies 1A of the respective packaging containers 1 are completely fitted to each other and the gap S is not formed between the lid flanges 5 can be surely eliminated.

  Furthermore, the bulging part 11 which bulges in the container main body 1A is uniformly formed in two places on the bottom surface 3 of the container main body 1A. This bulging part 11 is for forming the recessed part C in the upper surface of the foodstuff in the container main body 1A. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bulging portion 11 is formed in a dome shape whose outer shape is substantially square, but is not limited to this, for example, the outer shape is circular or elliptical. A shape or a polygon more than a triangle or a pentagon may be exhibited.

  Further, a ridge portion 12 that protrudes into the container main body 1A from the middle of the bulging portions 11 to the step portion 9 of the peripheral wall 4 is formed. As shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion 12 is for forming a concave groove G from the upper surface U to the peripheral wall W of the food F in the container body 1 </ b> A. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 12 formed in this way forms a concave groove G at a position that equally bisects the food F taken out from the container body 1A. Therefore, when the food F taken out from the container main body 1A is further subdivided, it is possible to align the shape and size of the food simply by cutting along the concave groove G, and to provide a good-looking arrangement, Even in the subdivided portions, the concave portions C are secured on the upper surfaces U thereof. And when eating, since the liquid seasoning accumulates in the recessed part C and does not flow around, the liquid seasoning is not used wastefully.

  For example, when making filled tofu using the packaging container 1 as described above, the soymilk and the coagulant corresponding to one-fourth of each one are poured into the container body 1A together with air. A series of steps of sealing the opening with a synthetic resin sealing film and then solidifying by heating is performed.

  In the embodiment described above, the overall shape of the container body 1A has a substantially truncated pyramid shape. However, the shape is not limited to this, and may be a shape suitable for the type of food. The number of container main bodies 1A is not limited to four as described above, and may be two, three, or five or more.

  The present invention is used not only for packing tofu, but also for packaging foods that can be eaten with various liquid seasonings, such as pudding and mousse that can be eaten with syrup and cream, and anzu tofu that can be eaten with honey. it can.
