Description

  The present invention relates to a case for storing solid dairy products such as butter.

    Conventionally, dairy products such as butter and cheese (including margarine in accordance with butter) are commercially available in paste containers and stored in case containers, and in solid block forms such as cuboids. What was stored in the case container is marketed.

  Therefore, in the case of a solid dairy product in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped block, each time a user consumes it at home, it must be cut and separated by a knife or the like in order from the end.

  For example, the appropriate consumption of butter per toast is 5 g. In the cooking recipe, “one tablespoon of butter” means 15 g.

  However, when cutting block-shaped butter at home, it is extremely difficult to form a piece of the appropriate weight as described above depending on the amount of scale.

  In this regard, for example, products in which butters molded into small rectangular parallelepipeds of 5 g per piece are individually packaged are commercially available. According to this, the amount of butter corresponding to multiples of 5 g can be easily determined. is there. However, such a product is not preferable because it is more expensive than a block-type product and the amount of wrapping paper is increased.

  The present invention provides a storage case that solves the above problems when storing a solid dairy product such as butter in the form of a block.

Therefore, the present invention is configured as a means to detachably insert the insole member into a case storage chamber formed by detachably fitting the upper case body to the lower case body and to insert the solid dairy product into the insole member of was received in the receiving chamber in a state that allowed supporting the shelf plate, in those configured to cut vertically and horizontally by cutting jig on the shelf board portion formed with the solid dairy insole member, said insole The member is provided with a grid-like marker that extends linearly at intervals on the surface of the shelf plate portion, and a holding wall is erected at the end portion of the shelf plate portion, and the holding wall is divided It is composed of wall pieces, and is formed by facing the marker with a gap formed between adjacent wall pieces.

  More preferably, an elongate pocket recessed downward is formed along one side edge of the shelf plate portion, and a cutting jig is stored in the pocket.

  According to the present invention, the insole member 5 and the solid dairy product 3 are stored in the storage case 15 in a state in which the solid dairy product 3 is supported on the shelf 16 of the insole member 5, and stored in a refrigerator or the like. be able to. Therefore, when the solid dairy product 3 is subdivided into small blocks 3 a having a predetermined weight, there is a convenience that the solid dairy product 3 can be cut by the cutting jig 22 on the shelf 16 of the insole member 5. Moreover, even after the small block 3a is formed by cutting, the solid dairy product 3 including the small block 3a is supported by the shelf 16 of the insole member 5 and stored in the storage case 15 again in the refrigerator 15 or the like. It can be stored, and when edible, after removing the upper case body 2, it can be consumed by picking up only a necessary amount of the small block 3 a on the insole member 5, which is very convenient.

In particular , according to the present invention, the insole member 5 is provided with lattice-like markers 21a and 21b extending linearly at intervals on the surface of the shelf plate portion 16, and a holding wall at the end portion of the shelf plate portion 16. 18, the holding wall 18 is composed of divided wall pieces 18 a, and a gap 18 b formed between adjacent wall pieces 18 a, 18 a is made to face the marker 21 a. It is easy and easy to subdivide the solid dairy product 3 in the form of a large block into small blocks 3a having a predetermined weight such as 5 g per piece.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, the elongate pocket 19 in which the cutting jig 22 for cutting the solid dairy product 3 on the shelf 16 is recessed downward along one side edge of the shelf 16. There is convenience that we can store in.

The upper case body 2 has a peripheral wall 12 suspended from the periphery of the top wall 11 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and an upper end portion of the peripheral wall 12 is bent outward through a step portion 13 to thereby form a lower opening portion. An opening edge 14 is provided.

(Storage room)
Therefore, the storage case 15 is configured by detachably covering the upper case body 2 with respect to the lower case body 1, and the storage chamber 4 is defined therein. At this time, the opening edge 14 of the upper case body 2 is fitted on the opening edge 8 of the lower case body 1, and the storage chamber 4 is substantially sealed.

(Insole material)
The insole member 5 includes a shelf board portion 16 on which the solid milk product 3 is placed, a leg seat 17 suspended from the shelf board portion 16, and a holding wall 18 erected from both longitudinal ends of the shelf board portion 16. , 18 are integrally formed, and an elongated pocket 19 recessed downward is formed along one side edge of the shelf plate portion 16.

  In the case of the illustrated example, the leg seat 17 constitutes a downward peripheral wall extending along the periphery of the shelf plate portion 16 and is placed on the bottom wall 6 of the lower case body 1 as shown in FIG. The leg seat 17 provided around is arranged along the inside of the peripheral wall 7 of the lower case body 1.

  The interval between the pair of holding walls 18, 18 is formed to be approximately equal to or slightly larger than the longitudinal dimension L of the solid dairy product 3, and in the case of the illustrated example, the three wall pieces 18a into which the holding walls 18 are divided. It is constituted by.

  The shelf board part 16 forms the area | region pinched by at least one pair of holding walls 18 and 18 in a flat surface, and the width dimension of this flat surface is substantially equal to the width dimension W of the solid dairy product 3, or is formed a little larger. In addition, the flat surface is formed on the rough surface 20, and the marker 21 is formed so as to form a grid-like rib shape extending vertically and horizontally. In the case of the illustrated example, the marker 21 has a plurality of ribs 21a extending in the longitudinal direction with an interval so as to equally divide the width dimension W described above, and a width with an interval so as to equally divide the longitudinal dimension L. It comprises a large number of ribs 21b extending in the direction.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the flat rough surface 20 in the shelf 16 is formed in a cross-sectional corrugated shape, and the rib-shaped marker 21 is slightly (within 1 mm, preferably 0.3 mm) from the corrugated top surface. ˜0.5 mm) and the rib thickness is within 1 mm.

(Cutting jig)
In the pocket 19, a cutting jig 22 used for cutting the solid milk product 3 is stored. The cutting jig 22 is provided with a spatula portion 24 at the distal end portion of the handle portion 23, a claw-like fork portion 25 is formed at the distal end of the spatula portion 24, and a serrated cutting portion at the side edge of the spatula portion 24. 26 is formed.

(Function)
According to the above configuration, with the solid dairy product 3 placed on the shelf 16 of the insole member 5, the insole member 5 is removably inserted into the lower case body 1, and the upper case body is inserted into the lower case body 1. If 2 is put on, the solid dairy product 3 is stored in the storage chamber 4 of the storage case 15 as shown in FIG. In this state, in the insole member 5, the shelf plate portion 16 and the leg seat 17 are accommodated in the lower case body 1, and the top end of the holding wall 18 is positioned in the middle in the vertical direction of the upper case body 2. The solid dairy product 3 is stored in a state where the top surface is located close to the top wall 11 of the upper case body 2. Therefore, the storage case 15 can be stored inside a refrigerator or the like with the solid milk product 3 stored. The cutting jig 22 is housed in the pocket 19 of the insole member 5.

  When storing the solid dairy product 3, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the insole member 5 is inverted, and the shelf 16 is opposed to the surface (upper surface) of the solid dairy product 3 using the pair of holding walls 18 and 18 as a guide. Then, when the marker 21 is pressed, a guide line 27 is formed by a groove on the surface of the solid dairy product 3. The guide line 27 is formed as a grid-like line composed of a longitudinal line 27a corresponding to the rib 21a and a width line 27b corresponding to the rib 21b. The weight of the solid dairy product 3 represented by the volume of a small block obtained by multiplying the height a by the area a of one region surrounded by the lines 27a and 27b intersecting in a lattice shape is a predetermined weight such as 5 g. It is set to become.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, after separating the solid dairy product 3 and the insole member 5, the insole member 5 is held in a normal posture with the leg seat 17 facing downward, and the solid milk is placed on the shelf 16. The product 3 is placed and the guide wire 27 is exposed on the upper surface. Accordingly, in this state, if the solid dairy product 3 is cut along the lines 27a and 27b by the cutting portion 26 of the cutting jig 22, a small block 3a having a predetermined volume and a predetermined weight can be obtained. At this time, when the solid dairy product 3 is hard because it has been refrigerated in advance and is difficult to cut, it is placed in the microwave oven in a state of being placed on the shelf 16 of the insole member 5 and is several seconds (about 15 seconds). Since it softens if it is thawed by dielectric heating, it becomes easy to engrave the guide wire 27 as described above and to cut it with the cutting jig 22. Therefore, the insole member 5 is formed of a synthetic resin that is not dielectrically heated, and can also be used as a support for the solid dairy product 3 when placed in a microwave oven.

  In this way, after the solid milk product 3 is cut and the small block 3a is formed by using the guide wire 27 as a guide for subdividing, if it is stored in a refrigerator or the like while being stored in the storage case 15 as shown in FIG. good.

  By the way, when the solid dairy product 3 is edible, after removing the upper case body 2, the fork portion 25 of the cutting jig 22 is pierced into the small block 3 a supported by the insole member 5 to obtain a predetermined volume. The small blocks 3a having a predetermined weight can be picked up and consumed as necessary. At this time, since the rough surface 20 is formed on the flat surface of the shelf plate portion 16, the small block 3a can be easily peeled off from the flat surface.
