DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case for transporting nigiri sushi and other cooked foods, which are produced in large quantities at a factory, to a storefront of a store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a transport case used for this kind of application is made of a thin rectangular synthetic resin plate and has a thickness of 50 mm.
Approximately one handful of sushi can be accommodated. That is, it is composed of two halves each having a shape in which a large number of accommodating recesses for accommodating nigiri sushi are provided on one side of a square plate made of transparent plastic, and they are faced to each other. The nigiri sushi is placed one by one in a large number of spaces inside.

[0003]

However, conventionally,
Since the food transport case of such a form is made of a thin synthetic resin plate as a raw material, the rigidity of itself is low, and the accommodating recesses for accommodating the nigiri sushi are aligned vertically and horizontally along the surface of the flange. In some cases, only the thickness of the base plate material between adjacent storage recesses was fragile. In other words, if the food transport case is used to store and raise nigiri sushi, it will bend between the adjacent storage recesses, making it difficult to hold the product during transport. There was a problem that it could jump out and make its handling difficult. On the other hand, in general, as a means for increasing the rigidity of a plate-shaped member, a technique of bulging ribs on one or both sides thereof in a mountain shape is commonly used. However, in order to apply this to a food transport case, if a rib is provided on the flat plate portion, the interval between adjacent storage recesses increases by the width of the rib, and the number of nigiri sushi that can be stored in the food transport case decreases. There was a defect.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The above-mentioned problem is solved by a plate-like flange portion formed of a synthetic resin material and its flange.

It is desirable to be provided in the name .

[0005]

The rigidity of the food transport case is enhanced by the reinforcing ribs, and the deformation of the food transport case when nigiri sushi is accommodated is reduced. Further, the reinforcing ribs are provided across the accommodation recess, and the reinforcing can be performed without requiring a space for the reinforcing ribs in the flat plate portion. The back surface of the reinforcing rib has a shape in which the edge of the accommodating recess is notched, and when picking nigiri sushi, a finger passes therethrough to pick the sushi.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a food transport case according to the present invention, and FIG. The food transport case 10 has two container-shaped halves having the same shape, which are superposed face to face to form a box shape, and each half is molded using a synthetic resin called styrene paper. Each of the halves has, as a basic form, a large number of recesses 11 for sushi serving as food to be accommodated on one side of a rectangular flat plate, and the remaining portion is left as a flange 12. The remaining flange 12 serves as a joining surface when the half portions are superposed face to face. Each half is formed by a vacuum forming process and weighs approximately 25 grams per sheet.

The accommodation recess 11 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, slightly larger than the nigiri sushi S serving as an accommodation object, and has a substantially rectangular shape with four chamfered corners, and is arranged side by side vertically and horizontally. In this embodiment, a total of 55 housing recesses 11 are provided, five in the longitudinal direction and 11 in the width direction.

[0008] As described above, the flange 12 is formed by the remaining portion where the accommodating concave portion 11 swells, and forms a rectangular peripheral portion and vertical and horizontal connecting portions connecting them, and a large number of connecting portions are provided. It forms the boundary of the housing recess 11. Reference numeral 13 denotes a positioning projection formed at a part of the intersection, which functions as a so-called knock pin. That is, the engaging recess 13a bulges to the same side as the accommodating recess 11, and the engaging protruding portion 13b protrudes in the opposite direction, and two of them are symmetrically provided in the diagonal direction.

The recess 12 is provided in the flange 12.
Reinforcing ribs 14a and 14b are formed so as to protrude in the same direction as the housing recess 11 on one side of the housing. As is apparent from FIG. 1, the reinforcing rib is formed such that its axis passes through the center of each of the recesses 11. That is, the reinforcing rib 14 includes a vertical rib 14a formed at a position crossing the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the housing concave portion 11, and a horizontal rib 14b formed at a position crossing the central portion in the width direction along the longitudinal direction. Consists of

In this embodiment, three vertical ribs 14a are provided. That is, the vertical rib 14a is
As shown in (a) and (b), it passes through the central portion along the longitudinal direction of the housing recess 11. Also, as shown in FIG.
As described above, the vertical ribs 14 a extend along the longitudinal direction of the accommodation recess 11.
At the position crossing the center of the accommodation recess 11
One is formed for every several accommodation recesses 11 and its vertical
In the longitudinal direction of the accommodation recess 11 where the rib 14a is formed
Thus, it is formed between all the housing recesses 11. The vertical rib 14a is formed at a height of about 2/3 to 3/4 of the depth of the accommodation recess 11, and its width is about half the width of the accommodation recess 11 at the widest point. As a result, a half-moon-shaped recess 14c corresponding to the vertical rib 14a is formed on the surface of the flange 12 formed between the adjacent housing recesses 11.

The horizontal rib 14b is provided as shown in FIG.
In this embodiment , one piece is provided between each accommodation recess 11. That is, the horizontal rib 14b is provided in each of the accommodation recesses 1
A central portion is longitudinally cut along the longitudinal direction of No. 1 and is formed at substantially the same height as the vertical rib 14a. As a result, the width thereof is substantially half of the longitudinal dimension of the housing recess 11, and a recess 14d is formed on the surface of the flange 12 with a size that does not hinder the passage of the thumb of a person.

[0012] The food transport case 10 according to the present invention is configured as described above.
When transporting the food, first, the food transport case 10
After preparing half of the sheets and putting Nigiri Sushi S in one of the accommodating recesses 11, the other one is overlapped with the flange 12, and if necessary, stopped with a stapler (registered trademark) so as not to be separated. To do. As a result, the food transport case 10 becomes substantially box-shaped as a whole, and
And the engaging projections 13b projecting in opposite directions are fitted to each other, so that both halves do not move along the surface of the flange 12.

Each half of the food transport case 10 includes the flange 12 and vertical and horizontal reinforcing ribs 14 (1) formed thereon.
4a, 14b), the rigidity is enhanced, and the problem that the food transport case 10 is bent due to the action of the positioning projections 13 to cause the contents to drop or to be displaced is eliminated. It is also possible to carry over. Further, the food transport case 10 has a flange 12
, And the inside and outside are shut off, so that the nigiri sushi S stored therein does not come into contact with the outside air, and a hygienic preservation state is maintained.

Further, when taking out the sushi sushi S from the food transport case 10 after transportation, the sushi is depressed at the position of the lateral rib 14b defined by the flange 12, and the opposite surface is the recess 1
Since it is 4d, the thumb and the index finger can grasp the sushi S therethrough. That is, the nigiri sushi S can be easily picked up and taken out without being pulled out from the accommodation recess 11.

Although the name of the present invention is a food transport case, its use is not limited to sushi, and it goes without saying that it can also be used as a container for holding gyoza or shumai. .

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, although the food transport case is made of a thin synthetic resin, it is reinforced by the vertical and horizontal reinforcing ribs 14 and has high rigidity. Further, since the reinforcing ribs 14 are formed so as to cross over the accommodating recesses 11 for accommodating nigiri sushi, no special space is required for forming the reinforcing ribs. There is no problem that the number of accommodations decreases. Furthermore, as a reaction to the provision of the reinforcing ribs on the accommodation recess, a space is provided for allowing a finger to pass through the flange section that defines the adjacent accommodation recess, so that the nigiri sushi can be easily taken out of the accommodation recess.
