Description

  The present invention relates to a container for wrapping eggs formed by bulging and forming a generally known synthetic resin sheet material, and in particular, a soft-boiled egg, a hot spring egg, a boiled egg, etc. It is related to a container for packaging egg eggs that is individually housed in a shelled state and packaged for sale.

  A conventional egg container formed by bulging and molding such a synthetic resin sheet material has a container main body and a lid that are foldably connected on one side thereof. It is used by covering the folded lid. Even if the conventional egg container made in this way is opened when the egg is taken out and the egg is taken out, the lid was folded on the container body until the time of taking out the egg. In the natural state, the lid body is not completely opened to the horizontal state with respect to the container body, and is only opened by about 30 to 50 degrees in a side view. Therefore, the lid body could not be used as a container for meals, and there was no such concept.

On the other hand, in order to hold the egg without rattling in the container body and the lid, the peripheral wall surface forming the egg storage recess also serves as a reinforcement for the container, and large and small ribs for receiving and protecting the outer peripheral surface of the egg. Concavities and convexities are provided. Such egg containers are not used except for packaging eggs. For example, buy hot spring eggs outdoors and use them as cups for soup or as hot spring egg meal containers. There was no idea that. Moreover, it cannot be said that use as a meal container in this way is appropriate due to the presence of large and small square ribs and irregularities. As means for eliminating these problems, the present inventor has developed a food container that forms a flanged cup separately from the container body, and is detachably polymerized with respect to the container body. Proposes a means to market with containers.
