Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an instant food container which is constructed so that instant food such as ramen and udon can be quickly cooked by pouring hot water into the container. On the lid,
More specifically, it relates to the structure of the lid. 2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional ready-to-use food container has a flange 2 having a flange 1 protruding outward at an upper edge thereof. The lid A is bonded and the opening 3 of the container 2 is sealed. When cooking, the knob 4 of the lid A is picked up, the lid A is peeled off, and the container 2 is removed from 1/3 to 1/2. The cooking was performed in such a manner that the opening was opened to a certain extent, the hot water was poured from the opening 3, and then the main lid A was closed for a predetermined time, resulting in the following problem. When pouring hot water, the lid A must be held with a fingertip or the like so as not to close. Therefore, it is inconvenient. When the lid A is held with a fingertip, Hot water can get on your fingertips, which is very dangerous. When the main lid A is closed after the hot water is poured, a weight such as a plate is placed on the main lid A, or the knob 4 of the main lid A is placed on the side of the container 2 with an adhesive tape or the like. It is inconvenient because measures such as fixing to the wall must be taken. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention has been made to solve the problems described in the prior art, and it is possible to hold the lid with the container partially opened, It is an object of the present invention to provide a lid for an instant food container that can hold the peeled book lid in a closed state. According to the present invention, there is provided a lid for an instant food container, wherein a lid having a tab is adhered to the flange of the container having an outwardly protruding flange at an upper edge. ,
In a ready-to-eat food container having a structure for sealing the opening of the container, the container has a contour having substantially the same shape as the contour of the main lid,
With a perpendicular line passing the contour portion as a base line, slightly inside the position where the contour portion is located when the contour portion is turned back, a cut that can be fitted to the flange portion is provided, and at both ends of the cut portion, A short cut communicating with the cut is provided in parallel with the perpendicular, and a straight cut is provided in parallel with the perpendicular, spaced apart from the center of the cut that can be fitted to the flange. A sub-lid provided with a knob at a position facing away from the cut and facing the center of the cut that can be fitted to the flange portion, the knob of the sub-lid and the knob of the main cover are separated. Opposed, and placed on the main lid such that the outline of the sub lid overlaps the outline of the main lid, and the portion surrounded by the perpendicular and the outline is affixed to the surface of the main lid. It is characterized by the following. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 5, a main cover A having a knob 4 is adhered to a flange 1 of a container 2 having a flange 1 protruding outward at an upper edge to seal an opening 3 of the container 2. In the instant food container, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the sub lid B has a contour portion a having substantially the same shape as the contour of the main lid A (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1 (a)). When the contour part a is folded back (in FIG. 1A, it is folded to the left) with the perpendicular P passing the contour part a as the base line, the position (c) where the contour part a is located
A cut 5 that can be fitted to the flange portion 1 is provided slightly inside (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1A), and a short cut d communicating with the cut 5 is formed at both ends of the cut 5 by a perpendicular P Is provided parallel to the vertical line P, is separated outward from the center of the cut 5, and is further separated outward from the linear cut 6 to face the center of the cut 5. A knob 4 'is provided at the position. [0007] From the experimental results, the size and the shape of the cut 5 are shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), a circle S is drawn with a radius slightly smaller than the radius of the main lid A, starting from the center 0 of the main lid A (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1B). A radial line segment X centered on the center 0 of the lid A is drawn to the outer periphery of the circle S, and the center point O is set as a base point, and about 6
When a similar line segment Y is drawn at a distance of 0 degrees, each line segment X,
The arc z formed at the intersections b and b 'between Y and the outer periphery of the circle S is the most efficient size and shape, and when fitted to the flange portion 1, the cut 5 is not hooked on the flange portion 1 and does not come off. Have confirmed. However, the present invention is not limited to this size and shape, and any cut 5 having a shape and size that can be fitted to the flange portion 1 can be applied. In selecting the radius of the circle S,
When the circle S is stacked on the container 2, the outer periphery of the circle S
It is preferable to select the radius of the circle S so as to be located substantially in the middle of the circle S. Short cut d provided at both ends of cut 5
Is for facilitating the opening of both ends of the cut 5 when the cut 4 is pulled down to fit the cut 5 into the lower surface of the flange portion 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the tab 4 'of the sub-lid B and the tab 4 of the main lid A are opposed to each other, and the contour a of the sub-lid B is the main lid (A). Is arranged on the main lid A so as to overlap with the outline of the main lid A.
Affixed to the surface. Therefore, in FIG. 2, the right side of the perpendicular P of the sub-lid B is affixed to the main cover A and is integrated with the main cover A, but the left side of the perpendicular P with the cut 5 is
It is rotatable left and right with the perpendicular P as a base line. At the time of implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, the knob 4 of the main lid A is pinched with a fingertip, the main lid A is peeled off from the flange portion 1 by an appropriate length, and the opposite side (left side in FIG. 3)
Then, the tab 4 ′ of the sub-lid B is pinched, and the straight cut 6 of the sub-lid B is hooked on the flange 1 (left side in FIG. 3). Since the lid A is now held open, there is no need to hold the lid A with a fingertip, so there is no need to worry about pouring hot water on the fingertip as in the past.
Hot water can be safely poured from the opening 3 of the container 2. When the hot water has been poured into the container 2, as shown in FIG.
Then, the cover A is returned to its original position, the opening 3 is closed, the knob 4 ′ of the sub-lid B is picked, and the cut 5 of the sub-lid B is fitted to the flange 1 (right side in FIG. 4), The cut 5 is hooked on the flange 1. Thus, the main lid A is held in a closed state, and after a lapse of a predetermined time, the cut 5 of the sub lid B is removed from the flange portion 1 and the main lid A is removed from the container 2 to prepare the cooked ramen. Eat the contents such as. Therefore, it is not necessary to procure a weight to be put on the main lid A as in the related art. Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. When pouring hot water, the main lid A can be held by the auxiliary lid so as not to close, so that it is convenient and it is possible to prevent troubles such as applying hot water to a fingertip as in the related art. . After pouring hot water, the main lid A can be held in a closed state by the sub lid, which is convenient and, as in the related art,
There is no need to procure a weight to be placed on the main lid A. Since the structure is simple, mass production can be performed at low cost.
