Abstract

The present invention provides a food extrusion tube container capable of sealing and storing chocolate remaining in a container even after the front end of the container is cut. A mouth portion 4a at the tip of a nozzle 4 of a tube body 2 and an opening portion 6b of a cap 6 are welded so as to be separable, and the mouth portion 4a and the opening portion 6b are separated by separating the cap 6. The tube main body 2 and the cap 6 are separated from each other in an open state, and the cap 6 is forcibly pushed by covering the opening 6b of the cap 6 with the mouth 4a at the tip of the nozzle 4 and pushing the cap 6a. It can be closed and sealed. [Selection] Figure 2

Description

  The present invention relates to a food extrusion tube container made of synthetic resin that encloses a food such as a semi-solid confectionery such as chocolate and allows the inner semi-solid food to be extruded by a crushing operation with fingers.

  Conventionally, chocolate pens and decoration pens for confectionery have become widespread. This is an extruded tube that encloses chocolate, etc., warm it with hot water before use, soften the contents, cut the tip where the chocolate is discharged, and squeeze the chocolate inside And you can write a picture on a cake or cake. In addition to chocolate, there are jams (jam pens).

  However, in the prior art, once the tip portion is cut, it cannot be restored to its original state. Therefore, once used, it cannot be sealed again.

  Therefore, the present invention was created in view of the existing circumstances as described above, and the food that can seal and store the chocolate remaining in the container even after the tip of the container is cut. An object is to provide an extrusion tube container.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, the mouth portion of the tube body nozzle tip and the cap opening portion are detachably connected via the constricted portion, and the constricted portion is By cutting, both the mouth part and the opening part are opened, and the tube main body and the cap are separated, and the cap part is forcibly put on the mouth part of the nozzle tip. The mouth portion can be closed and sealed by being pushed in.

  Further, a flange portion for cutting the cap by twisting it with fingers is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cap in a horizontal direction.

  According to the present invention, the chocolate remaining in the container can be sealed and stored even after the tip of the container is cut. That is, by cutting the constricted portion and separating the cap from the nozzle tip of the tube body, the mouth portion and the opening portion are both opened and the tube body and the cap are easily separated. At the time of storage, the cap part separated from the tube body is forcibly pushed into the mouth part of the nozzle tip so that the mouth part is securely sealed and stored in a state that prevents leakage of chocolate remaining in the container. I can keep it.

  In addition, since the flange portion for cutting the cap so as to be twisted with fingers is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cap in the horizontal direction, the tube main body and the cap Can be easily separated.

  By the way, there is no intermediate connection part for separating the cap from the nozzle tip, and the structure is simple, so the manufacturing process is not complicated and the manufacturing cost is low. That's it.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The food extrusion type tube container in one form for implementing this invention is shown, (a) is a top view, (b) is a side view, (c) is AA sectional drawing of (b). The procedure of the method of using the food extrusion tube container is shown, (a) is a plan view before use (before cutting), (b) is a plan view with the cap removed from the tube body, and (c) is a tube. The top view of the state before putting the cap which has been separated on the mouth part of a main part, (d) is a top view of the state where the mouth part of the tube body was covered with the cap which has been separated.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. A pen-shaped tube body 2 constituting a food extrusion tube container 1 according to the present invention is formed in a cylindrical shape having a substantially hexagonal cross section. For example, it is used as a container for sweet confectionery that becomes a semi-solid paste when heated in a solid state at room temperature such as chocolate.

  That is, the pen-shaped tube body 2 in the present embodiment is filled with solid chocolate, the tube body 2 is soaked in hot water of about 50 ° C., and the chocolate inside is softened in a paste form, and the tube body It is used by cutting the cap 6 at the tip of 2 with fingers and crushing and squeezing the tube main body 2 with fingers while tracing the surface of the symmetrical object (food) with a pen.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the tube main body 2 in the present embodiment is formed with a skirt-shaped cylindrical portion 2 a that is gradually reduced in diameter toward the front side on the distal end opening side of the tube main body 2, and the skirt-shaped cylindrical portion 2 a A small-diameter cylindrical nozzle 4 is continuously provided at the tip.

  In addition, on the rear end side of the tube body 2, a thin hollow tube portion 3 having a rounded bottom end portion is provided. An air suction reverse support valve 3a is provided to prevent pressure and smoothly push out (squeeze) the chocolate inside. The check valve 3a is provided for the purpose of blocking the flow of outside air when the squeeze pressure is increased and venting outside air when the squeeze pressure is released.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, the tube body 2 has a mouth 4a at the tip of the nozzle 4 and an opening 6b of the cap 6 connected via a thin neck-like constricted portion 5. The mouth 4a and the opening 6b are both closed by the constricted portion 5. Therefore, after the constricted portion 5 is cut, the opening 6b is formed in the cap 6. In this case, the outer diameter of the mouth 4a at the tip of the nozzle 4 is set to be approximately the same size as the inner diameter of the constricted portion 5 that becomes the opening 6b of the cap 6 after cutting.

  Further, in order to facilitate the cutting by folding (or twisting) the constricted portion 5 with fingers, a flake-like flange portion 6a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cap 6 in the horizontal direction. The tube body 2, the constricted portion 5, the cap 6, and the flange portion 6a are integrally formed at the same time by synthetic resin molding.

  Next, an example of use of the configuration configured as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the mouth 4a at the tip of the nozzle 4 of the tube body 2 and The constricted part 5 in the connection part with the opening 6b of the cap 6 is cut by folding (or twisting) with fingers. As a result, the opening 4 b at the tip of the nozzle 4 that was initially closed by the cap 6 is opened, and at the same time, an opening 6 b is formed in the cap 6.

  After use, when chocolate remains in the tube body 2, the opening 6 b side of the cap 6 is covered with the mouth 4 a at the tip of the nozzle 4 of the tube body 2 to force the mouth. 4a is sealed in a sealed manner.

  As described above, even after the cap 6 is separated from the tube body 2, the chocolate remaining in the tube body 2 can be reliably sealed and stored.

  The food extrusion tube container according to the present invention is not limited to those used as a sweet confectionery container that is heated in a solid form into a semi-solid paste at room temperature such as chocolate as described above. It may be applied to various other uses such as a container for viscous seasoning ingredients such as cream, mayonnaise, sauce, dressing and miso, and various ingredients that are softened by heating.
