Description

  The present invention relates to a container for egg packaging formed by bulging and molding a generally known sheet material made of synthetic resin, and in particular, a soft-boiled egg, hot spring egg, boiled egg, etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as hot spring egg). The present invention relates to an egg packaging container that is individually housed in a shelled state and packaged for sale.

Conventional egg containers for storing soft-boiled eggs, hot spring eggs, etc. formed by bulging and molding such a synthetic resin sheet material have storage recesses along the outer shape of the eggs for holding the eggs without rattling, and at the same time To reinforce the wall, large and small ribs and irregularities are provided on the wall surface. Such containers are not used except for packaging hot spring eggs etc. For example, buying hot spring eggs outdoors and substituting the packaging container as it is for a cup to contain soup is a presence of large and small ribs and irregularities Is unsuitable for use. As means for eliminating this problem, the present inventor has developed a food container in which a flanged cup formed separately from the container body is polymerized so as to be detachable from the container body. Along with this, it proposes a means to provide to the market.
Registered Design No. 971084 Design Gazette Japanese Patent No. 2706911

  As mentioned above, in the container in which the storage recess along the outer shape of the former egg is formed, there are problems as described above. Therefore, when eating hot spring eggs outdoors, always use a cup for eating. There was a need for inconvenience. Further, the improved egg container by the present inventor has solved the above-mentioned problem, but has a problem to be solved that the production cost increases due to the presence of a separately formed cup that is detachably polymerized. Was.

  Therefore, the present invention is technically devised for the structure and shape of the container main body and the lid, and is sufficient to prevent the egg from being damaged at the distribution stage as a product with only the container main body and the lid formed as a series. The purpose is to provide a hot spring egg packaging container that can be used as a simple tableware while having strength, without having to carry a cup for soup or meal even outdoors or in cars or trains. To do.

The egg packaging container according to the first aspect of the present invention taken to achieve the object will be described using the same reference numerals as the drawings showing the embodiments. One egg formed by bulging and molding a synthetic resin sheet material A container body 11 having an egg accommodating recess 11 having a space capable of accommodating the lower half of the portion, and an egg accommodating recess 21 having a space capable of accommodating the upper half of one egg. An egg container having a cover unit 2 and a connecting bent part 3 that foldably connects the two bodies 1 and 2 as a basic unit, the bent part 3 having an easily separated cut 31 , The lid 2 has a configuration in which a side wall 26 portion on the side facing the connecting portion with the bent portion 3 is formed on a substantially smooth surface and can be used as a meal container after opening. is there.

  In addition, the egg packaging container of the second invention is a container body 1 provided with an egg containing recess 11 having a space that can accommodate the lower half of one egg formed by bulging and molding a synthetic resin sheet material, A lid 2 that includes an egg accommodating recess 21 having a space that can accommodate the upper half of one egg, and covers the upper portion of the container body 1; and a connecting bent portion 3 that foldably connects the two bodies 1 and 2; In which the bent portion 3 is provided with a cut 31 that can be easily separated, and a side wall 26 portion of the lid 2 facing the connecting portion with the bent portion 3 is provided. A plurality of units of a container that are formed on a substantially smooth surface and can be used as a meal container after the lid is opened are the container bodies 1, 1, the lids 2, 2, or both are connected parts 5. Connected to each other and formed integrally. There have a separation easily cuts 51, is obtained by a structure which is formed in a shape that can easily be cut and separated for each unit body.

  As is apparent from the above description, the egg packaging container according to the present invention has the side wall 26 portion on the side facing the connecting portion with the bent portion 3 in the lid body formed on a substantially smooth surface. So, the container body 1 and the lid 2 are separated by opening the lid and the cut portion of the bent portion, the hot spring egg is placed with the opening of the lid 2 facing upward, and the soup bag is vacuum-packed as necessary. By opening a seasoning bag such as a salt bag and using the lid 2 as it is as a meal container, it can be used without a sense of incongruity. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is possible to eat hot spring eggs without feeling uncomfortable at any time outdoors or in the car without having to bring a cup. There is also an advantage that the number of purchases can be freely selected.

  Moreover, in the container of 2nd invention, it can be easily united by isolate | separating the several unit body connected by the connection part 5 for every unit body from a connection part, Said single body You can enjoy all the effects that.

  In carrying out the present invention, the egg packaging container is formed by connecting the container body 1 in which the egg accommodating recess 11 is formed and the lid body 2 in which the egg accommodating recess 21 is formed by the bent portion 3. , Constituting a basic unit container containing one egg. If these one unit containers are arranged in parallel and connected by the connecting portion 5 at the site of the container main body 1, an egg packaging container for individually storing two eggs is obtained. Similarly, if three units are connected in parallel by the connecting portion 5, a container for individually storing three eggs can be obtained. Moreover, the egg packaging container which accommodates four eggs individually can also be obtained as needed. The bent portion 3 is in an easily separated state due to the formation of the cut 31, and the connecting portion 5 is also in an easily cutable state due to the presence of the cut 51. However, the separation of the container body and the lid body may be somewhat difficult because the lid body can be used as a meal cup with the container body attached.

  The egg accommodating recess 11 of the container body 1 has a space for accommodating the lower half of one egg, or the lower half of one egg and the vacuum-packed soup bag 4, that is, the necessary cross-sectional area and depth. In addition, a conical shape, an elliptical cone shape, a long cone shape, a polygonal pyramid shape, and the like are suitable, and reinforcing ribs with less unevenness may be formed on the peripheral wall. The bottom 14 is preferably a flat surface or a smooth surface. Further, it is preferable that a shallow flange-shaped peripheral flange portion 12 and a fitting step portion 13 are formed on the outer periphery of the opening of the container body 1 and the lid body 2.

  The lid 2 has a space that covers the upper half of one egg, the top 24 is formed with a flat surface 25, and at least the side wall on the side facing the bent portion 3 of the peripheral wall has little unevenness. It is preferably a substantially smooth curved surface. Since the lid 1 can be separated from the bent portion 3 after opening and used as a meal container, a shape that can be conveniently used as a meal container is preferable. Also in the case of this lid body 2, it is preferable that a shallow flange-shaped peripheral flange portion 22 and a fitting step portion 23 are formed on the outer periphery of the opening. When the top 24 is formed on a flat surface, a stable state can be maintained when the lid 2 is used as a simple food container.

  The details of the present invention will be described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining the opened state of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 to 5 are plan views, front views, rear views and right side views of the first embodiment, and FIG.
