Description
本発明は、包装用容器に関するものである。特に、即席麺を包装するための包装用容器に関するものである。さらには、当該即席麺を包装した包装即席麺に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a packaging container. In particular, the present invention relates to a packaging container for packaging instant noodles. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a packaged instant noodle in which the instant noodle is packaged.
包装用容器の分野においては、収納する収納物の下端側から取り出せるように、収納物の下端側の容器部分を開封して収納物を取り出すという機構を採用する包装用容器が必要となっている。 In the field of packaging containers, there is a need for a packaging container that employs a mechanism for opening the container portion on the lower end side of the stored item and taking out the stored item so that it can be taken out from the lower end side of the stored item. .
例えば、熱湯を注ぐだけで喫食することができるカップ入り即席麺の分野においては、上端部側が大で、下端部側が小な略テーパ形状の即席麺塊が使用されるが、包装材料の使用を軽減する観点から、繰り返して使用可能な喫食用の容器を前提とした詰替え用の包装即席麺が開発されている。この場合、喫食者は詰替え用の包装即席麺から、麺塊を直接に手で保持することなく、喫食用の容器に移すことができれば便利である。 For example, in the field of instant noodles with cups that can be eaten by simply pouring hot water, instant tape noodles with a large upper end and a small lower end are used. From the viewpoint of mitigation, repackaging instant noodles have been developed on the premise of reusable containers for eating. In this case, it is convenient for the eater to be able to move the noodle chunks from the instant packaging noodles for refilling to the edible containers without directly holding them by hand.
このような観点から、略テーパ形状である麺塊の下端側の容器部分を開封して、麺塊をその下端部より喫食用の容器に移すタイプの包装即席麺が開示されている（特許文献１）。具体的な構成としては深絞りの軟包材を用いて即席麺塊及び／又は具材・スープを包装し、脱気包装する構成を採用している。 From such a viewpoint, a packaging instant noodle of a type in which the container portion on the lower end side of the noodle mass having a substantially tapered shape is opened and the noodle mass is transferred from the lower end portion to a container for eating is disclosed (Patent Document). 1). As a specific configuration, a configuration is used in which a deep-drawn soft wrapping material is used to wrap instant noodle chunks and / or ingredients / soup and deaerate packaging.
しかし、上記技術においては、軟包材を用いて即席麺塊とスープ・具材を包装するという点から製造において多少煩雑さを伴う場合があった。 However, in the above-described technique, there are cases where manufacturing is somewhat complicated because soft noodles are used to package instant noodle chunks and soups and ingredients.
すなわち、通常のカップ麺の製造ラインにおいては、紙やプラスチック等の適度な剛性を有する素材を用いたカップ容器を用い、これに即席麺塊を収納する方法によって生産される。一方、特許文献１の方法では軟包材を用い、これに即席麺塊を収納し、かつ脱気工程を必要とする。このため軟包材の扱い等、工業的に生産しようとすると新たに製造設備を必要とする。 That is, in a normal cup noodle production line, a cup container using a material having an appropriate rigidity such as paper or plastic is used, and the instant noodle mass is stored in the cup container. On the other hand, in the method of Patent Document 1, a soft packaging material is used, and instant noodle chunks are accommodated in this, and a deaeration process is required. For this reason, if it is going to produce industrially, such as handling of a soft packaging material, a manufacturing facility will be newly required.
この点、従来からある即席カップ麺の製造ラインを利用して詰め替え用の即席麺塊の包装体を製造することができれば、設備投資や労力等の種々の面で好ましい。 In this respect, it is preferable in various aspects such as capital investment and labor if a package of instant noodle chunks for refilling can be produced using a conventional production line for instant cup noodles.
そこで、本発明は、包装用容器に収納されている略テーパ形状を有する収納物を収納するための包装用容器であって、紙やプラスチック等の適度な剛性を有する素材を利用して、収納する略テーパ形状の収納物を、その下端側から取り出せるようにできる包装用容器を開発することを目的とした。 Therefore, the present invention is a packaging container for storing a storage object having a substantially tapered shape stored in a packaging container, and is stored using a material having an appropriate rigidity such as paper or plastic. An object of the present invention is to develop a packaging container that can take out a substantially taper-shaped stored item from its lower end side.
また、特に、収納する対象物が即席麺塊である場合において、従来までの即席カップ麺の製造ラインを利用しつつ即席麺塊を下端側からの取り出することのできる包装即席麺とすることを目的とした。 In particular, when the object to be stored is an instant noodle mass, the instant instant noodle mass should be a packaged instant noodle from which the instant noodle mass can be taken out from the lower end side while utilizing the conventional instant cup noodle production line. It was aimed.
上記課題に対して、本発明者らは鋭意研究を行い包装用容器に収納されている略テーパ形状を有する包装物を収納するための包装用容器であって収納物を下端側から取り出すことのできる容器を開発することができた。
すなわち、本発明は、
紙又はプラスチック素材からなるカップ状包装用容器であって、
１）該包装用容器は、側壁部においてテーパ形状を有し、
２）該容器の底面部を含む容器下部を開放するための第１展開線と、前記容器下部の開放後における側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線が設けられている、

また、本実施例は、本発明の一例を示したものであり本発明は本実施例に何ら限定されるものではない。
本発明の包装用容器は、カップ状の容器であり、側壁部はテーパ形状を有している。本発明にいうテーパ形状とは、図１に示すように略逆円錐台形の頂上部を切断したような形状をいい上面部１１が大、底面部１２が小となっている。
Further, the present embodiment shows an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.
The packaging container of the present invention is a cup-shaped container, and the side wall portion has a tapered shape. The taper shape referred to in the present invention is a shape obtained by cutting the top portion of a substantially inverted truncated cone as shown in FIG. 1, and the upper surface portion 11 is large and the bottom surface portion 12 is small.
本包装用容器は上部に蓋１１が接着されている。また、底面部１２は糸尻部を有していても平滑でもよい。 A lid 11 is bonded to the top of the packaging container. Further, the bottom surface portion 12 may have a thread bottom portion or may be smooth.
本包装用容器には、図２に示すように該容器１０の底面部１２より容器下部を開放するため、底面部を含む容器下部を開放するための第１展開線１３が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the packaging container is provided with a first development line 13 for opening the container lower part including the bottom part in order to open the container lower part from the bottom part 12 of the container 10.
また、該底面部を含む容器下部の解放後において側壁部の下端部が露出することになるが、該露出した下端部から容器上面部方向に向かう第２展開線１４が設けられている。収納物が容器と同様のテーパ形状を有し、前記包装用容器内に収納されている場合、本第２展開線１４に従って開くことで収納物を容器１０から取り出すことが可能になる。また、当該第２展開線１４の本数は限定されない。後に詳述するが本第２展開線１４を開放することにより収納物を無理なく取り出せるようになる。 Further, the lower end portion of the side wall portion is exposed after the lower portion of the container including the bottom surface portion is released, and a second development line 14 is provided from the exposed lower end portion toward the upper surface portion of the container. When the stored item has a taper shape similar to that of the container and is stored in the packaging container, the stored item can be taken out from the container 10 by opening according to the second development line 14. Further, the number of the second development lines 14 is not limited. As will be described in detail later, by opening the second development line 14, the stored item can be taken out without difficulty.
尚、図２においては、前記底面部１２を含む容器下部を解放後における側壁部の下端部の周上において当該下端部より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線１４が２本づつ略対称に設けられている。 In FIG. 2, two second development lines 14 from the lower end to the container upper surface are provided approximately symmetrically on the periphery of the lower end of the side wall after releasing the bottom of the container including the bottom 12. It has been.
本包装用容器の材質としては、適度な剛性を有する紙及びプラスチックが考えられる。一般的には、紙にプラスチックをラミネートした複数層を有する積層体が一般に使われる。また、使用されるプラスチックとしては、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンテレフタレート等種々のプラスチックを利用することができる。これらの積層体は二層に限られず、複数の積層体でもよいことはもちろんである。 As the material of the packaging container, paper and plastic having appropriate rigidity can be considered. In general, a laminate having a plurality of layers in which plastic is laminated on paper is generally used. Moreover, as a plastic used, various plastics, such as polyethylene, a polypropylene, a polyethylene terephthalate, can be utilized. Of course, these laminates are not limited to two layers, and may be a plurality of laminates.
次に、本包装用容器の収納物の展開方法として即席麺塊を収納している場合について以下に説明する。図２は即席麺塊２０について示したものである。本発明の包装用容器は、略テーパ形状の即席麺塊２０を収納することができる。ここでいうテーパ形状とは図１に示すように略逆円錐台形の頂上部を切断したような形状をいう。また、ここでいう即席麺塊２０とは、油熱乾燥又は熱風乾燥された低水分の麺塊をいう。これらの即席麺塊２０は熱湯中で湯戻し等されて喫食可能となる。 Next, a case where instant noodle chunks are stored as a method for developing the stored contents of the packaging container will be described below. FIG. 2 shows the instant noodle mass 20. The packaging container of the present invention can store the instant tape-shaped instant noodle mass 20. As used herein, the taper shape refers to a shape obtained by cutting the top of a substantially inverted truncated cone as shown in FIG. The instant noodle mass 20 here refers to a low-moisture noodle mass that has been oil-heat dried or hot-air dried. These instant noodle chunks 20 can be eaten after being reconstituted in hot water.
本実施態様においては、図３（ａ）の即席麺塊２０が図１のカップ状の包装用容器１０に収納されている。図４（ａ）は即席麺２０を収納していない包装用容器１０を示したものである。本包装用容器１０は前述したように上部に上部蓋１１を接着することができる。また、該容器には、底面部１２を含む容器下部を開放するための容器側壁部周回りに沿った第１展開線１３が設けられている。尚、第１展開線１３の所定部分は、喫食者が展開を開始する際の手掛かりとなるようにさらに略円弧状部分１３aが設けられている。該第１展開線１３に沿って分離した後において、開放後の容器の側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線１４が２本づつ、下端部の第１展開線１３の周上から略対称に設けられている。 In this embodiment, the instant noodle mass 20 shown in FIG. 3A is accommodated in the cup-shaped packaging container 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 4A shows the packaging container 10 that does not contain the instant noodles 20. As described above, the upper lid 11 can be bonded to the upper portion of the packaging container 10. Further, the container is provided with a first development line 13 around the periphery of the container side wall for opening the container lower part including the bottom surface part 12. The predetermined part of the first development line 13 is further provided with a substantially arcuate part 13a so as to be a clue when the eater starts development. After the separation along the first development line 13, two second development lines 14 from the lower end of the side wall of the container after opening toward the upper surface of the container are provided from the periphery of the first development line 13 at the lower end. It is provided approximately symmetrically.
また、図４（ｂ）は、本容器の中に即席麺塊２０が封入された状態を示した模式図である。 Moreover, FIG.4 (b) is the schematic diagram which showed the state by which the instant noodle chunk 20 was enclosed in this container.
即席麺塊２０のテーパ角と包装用容器１０のテーパ角については特に限定されないが、図５に示すように鉛直方向下向きと即席麺塊のテーパ角（図５(a)）と、鉛直方向下向きと包装用容器のテーパ角（図５(b)）を比較した場合、即席麺塊のテーパ角２０ａが包装用容器のテーパ角１０ａと同じかあるいはこれよりも大きいことが好ましい。このようにすることにより即席麺塊の側壁部の上部付近がカップ状包装用容器の側壁部内面が当接することになる。 The taper angle of the instant noodle mass 20 and the taper angle of the packaging container 10 are not particularly limited, but as shown in FIG. 5, the vertical downward direction, the taper angle of the instant noodle mass (FIG. 5 (a)), and the vertical downward direction When the taper angle of the packaging container (FIG. 5B) is compared, it is preferable that the taper angle 20a of the instant noodle mass is the same as or larger than the taper angle 10a of the packaging container. By doing so, the inner surface of the side wall portion of the cup-shaped packaging container comes into contact with the vicinity of the upper portion of the side wall portion of the instant noodle mass.
具体的な値としては、即席麺塊のテーパ角２０ａが６°〜１２°程度、包装用容器のテーパ角１０ａが３°〜９°程度であれば良い。 Specifically, the taper angle 20a of the instant noodle mass may be about 6 ° to 12 °, and the taper angle 10a of the packaging container may be about 3 ° to 9 °.
尚、本当接においては、必ずしも即席麺塊２０の上部の周回りのすべてが、包装用容器１０の側壁部内面に接していることをいうものではない。即席麺塊２０は図１に示すように複数の麺が絡み合っており、側壁部においても凹凸や、一部欠けたような場合もあるためである。本発明にいう“当接する”とは、このような一部接していない部分を含む趣旨である。 In the abutment, it does not necessarily mean that the entire circumference of the upper portion of the instant noodle mass 20 is in contact with the inner surface of the side wall of the packaging container 10. This is because the instant noodle mass 20 has a plurality of noodles intertwined as shown in FIG. 1, and the side wall portion may be uneven or partly missing. The term “contact” in the present invention is intended to include such a part that is not in contact.
麺塊の上部蓋１０の部分はヒートシール等の種々の方法で接着することができる。例えば、カップ縁部と上部蓋の間にホットメルト等の接着剤を介してもよいし、また、上部蓋１０の裏面にあるプラスチックフィルムとカップ縁部の熱溶着も可能である。 The portion of the upper lid 10 of the noodle mass can be bonded by various methods such as heat sealing. For example, an adhesive such as hot melt may be interposed between the cup edge and the upper lid, and the plastic film on the back surface of the upper lid 10 and the cup edge can be thermally welded.
次に本発明においては、即席麺塊の上部にスープ・具材を保持していてもよい。具体的には、麺塊の上部にスープ・具材等を保持することができる。例えば、図６に示すように前記即席麺塊２０の上部に乾燥スープや乾燥具材３０を保持することができる。 Next, in the present invention, soup and ingredients may be held on top of the instant noodle mass. Specifically, soup, ingredients and the like can be held on top of the noodle mass. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a dried soup or a drying material 30 can be held on the instant noodle mass 20.
このようにスープや具材を麺塊の上部に配置する場合、本発明においては前述のように前記即席麺塊２０の側壁部の上面部付近と前記カップ状包装用容器１０の側壁部内面が当接している場合、即席麺塊上部に配置したスープや具材３０が容器下部に移動しにくいという効果を奏する。 Thus, when arranging soup and ingredients on the upper part of the noodle mass, in the present invention, as described above, the vicinity of the upper surface portion of the side wall portion of the instant noodle mass 20 and the inner surface of the side wall portion of the cup-shaped packaging container 10 are provided. When it is in contact, the soup and ingredients 30 arranged at the upper part of the instant noodle mass are less likely to move to the lower part of the container.
これによって、後述する「容器下部の開放」→「別に準備した喫食用の容器への移し変え」の際にもスープや具材が麺塊の上部に配置されたまま、移し変えることができる。 As a result, the soup and ingredients can be transferred while being placed at the upper part of the noodle mass even in the case of “opening the lower part of the container” to “transfer to a separately prepared container for eating” described later.
尚、このようにスープや具材を配置する場合においては、麺塊の上部と上部蓋の空間にスープ・具材が存在するようにすれば良い。この上部空間にスープや具材３０を配置することで無駄なく包材を使用することができる。尚、スープ・具材３０はプラスチック等の小袋に入っていても良いことはもちろんである。 In the case of arranging soup and ingredients in this way, the soup and ingredients may be present in the space between the upper portion of the noodle mass and the upper lid. By arranging soup and ingredients 30 in this upper space, the packaging material can be used without waste. Of course, the soup and ingredients 30 may be contained in a small bag of plastic or the like.
また、本発明の包装即席麺は、このまま喫食することを目的とするものではないため、上述のスープ・具材の存在空間はできる限り減縮させることができる。すなわち、スープ・具材１３を麺塊上部と上部蓋との間に密に保持することで全体の体積を減少させ、本発明の包装用容器１０の包装材料を減らすことができる。 Moreover, since the packaged instant noodles of the present invention are not intended to be eaten as they are, the existing space of the above-mentioned soup and ingredients can be reduced as much as possible. That is, by keeping the soup and ingredients 13 tightly between the upper portion of the noodle mass and the upper lid, the entire volume can be reduced, and the packaging material of the packaging container 10 of the present invention can be reduced.
また、スープ・具材を含まない場合には、図７に示すように即席麺塊２０の上面付近の近傍まで上部蓋１０を近づける事ができる。これによって全体の体積を減少させ、本発明の包装材料を減らすことができる。 When soup and ingredients are not included, the upper lid 10 can be brought close to the vicinity of the upper surface of the instant noodle mass 20 as shown in FIG. This reduces the overall volume and reduces the packaging material of the present invention.
次に、本発明の実施態様においては、該容器の底面部を含む容器下部を開放するための第１展開線１３が設けられている。本第１展開線１３に沿って喫食者が当該容器を展開することができる。 Next, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first development line 13 for opening the lower part of the container including the bottom part of the container is provided. A eater can develop the container along the first development line 13.
本発明にいう「該容器の底面部を含む容器下部を開放するための第１展開線」とは、図８に示すように本包装即席麺を喫食しようとして、当該包装即席麺を開封して即席麺塊２０を取り出すための底面部を含む容器下部に設けられた第１展開線１３をいう。本第１展開線１３は、例えば、ミシン目によって形成することが可能である。また、これに限定されず、紙層にハーフカット処理を施す方法等様々な方法が可能である。 The “first development line for opening the lower part of the container including the bottom part of the container” as used in the present invention means that the packaged instant noodles are opened as shown in FIG. It refers to the first development line 13 provided in the lower part of the container including the bottom part for taking out the instant noodle mass 20. The first development line 13 can be formed by perforations, for example. Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and various methods such as a method of performing a half cut process on the paper layer are possible.
具体的には、容器の素材が内層にプラスチックフィルム層、外層に紙層を有する二層である場合には、外層の紙のみにミシン目を入れておく方法がある。このようにすれば、内部の密閉性を保った上で即席麺塊を包装することができる。また、紙の一部にハーフカットを施しておいてもよい。このような方法でも喫食者が容易に展開線に沿って容器を開くことができる。 Specifically, there is a method in which perforations are made only in the outer layer paper when the material of the container is two layers having a plastic film layer as an inner layer and a paper layer as an outer layer. If it does in this way, an instant noodle lump can be packaged, maintaining internal sealing. Moreover, you may give the half cut to a part of paper. Even in such a method, the eater can easily open the container along the development line.
次に、本包装用容器１０には前記容器下部の開放後における側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線１４が設けられている。ここで、“側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線”とは、図８に示すように前記容器下部の開放後における側壁部下端より容器上面部方向に向かって設けられた第２展開線１４をいう。尚、本第２展開線の展開の方法としては、本第１展開線の展開の方法と同様にミシン目状やあるいは、ハーフカット等の種々の方法がある。 Next, the packaging container 10 is provided with a second development line 14 extending from the lower end of the side wall portion to the upper surface portion of the container after the lower portion of the container is opened. Here, the “second development line from the lower end of the side wall portion toward the upper surface portion of the container” means a second line provided from the lower end of the side wall portion after opening the lower portion of the container toward the upper surface portion of the container as shown in FIG. The development line 14 is said. In addition, as a method for developing the second development line, there are various methods such as perforation or half-cut as in the method for developing the first development line.
本第２展開線１４の役割について説明する。前述したように、包装用容器と麺塊が略同形状のテーパを有しているため容器下部を開放しただけでは、収納されている即席麺塊２０を取り出すことができない。そこで、容器下部を開放した後の側壁部下端部より上面部に向かって設けられたミシン目等の第２展開線１４を設けている。本第２展開線１４に沿って容器を開くことで、開口部を拡げることができる。これによって、即席麺塊を取り出すことが可能となる。尚、本第２展開線１４はかならずしも上面部１１まで達している必要はなく、図９に示すように第２展開線１４は側壁部の途中まで設けられている場合でも、そのまま引っ張ると側壁部上面付近まで引っ張り破ることになれば充分である。 The role of the second development line 14 will be described. As described above, since the packaging container and the noodle mass have a taper of substantially the same shape, the stored instant noodle mass 20 cannot be taken out only by opening the lower portion of the container. Therefore, a second development line 14 such as a perforation provided from the lower end portion of the side wall portion after opening the lower portion of the container toward the upper surface portion is provided. By opening the container along the second development line 14, the opening can be expanded. As a result, the instant noodle mass can be taken out. Note that the second development line 14 does not necessarily reach the upper surface portion 11, and even if the second development line 14 is provided halfway along the side wall portion as shown in FIG. It is enough if it is torn near the upper surface.
また、この場合展開後の容器側壁部の開き度合いについては、後述する麺塊の取り出し工程において麺が落下できる程度であれば充分である。 In this case, the degree of opening of the side wall of the container after the expansion is sufficient if the noodles can be dropped in the noodle lump taking-out step described later.
また、上述の“側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線”は略対象に２本であっても、複数であってもよい。例えば、図１０では当該“側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線”は略対象に２本づつ設けられている。本実施態様では２本の第２展開線１４で挟まれた帯状部分を外側に引き出すことによって容器側壁部を開くことができる。
また、図１１に示すように単に、一本の第２展開線１４を設けておき、当該第２展開線１４に沿って展開することによって容器側壁部を開くという構成でもよい。また、当該第２展開線１４は必ずしも、予め開いておくことを必要としない。すなわち、後述する即席麺２０を容器に移し替える際に同時に開く構成としてもよいことはもちろんである。
In addition, the above-mentioned “second development line from the lower end of the side wall portion toward the upper surface portion of the container” may be approximately two or plural. For example, in FIG. 10, two “second development lines from the lower end of the side wall portion toward the upper surface portion of the container” are provided approximately each. In the present embodiment, the container side wall can be opened by pulling out the band-shaped portion sandwiched between the two second development lines 14.
Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a configuration may be used in which a single second development line 14 is provided and the container side wall portion is opened by development along the second development line 14. Further, the second development line 14 does not necessarily need to be opened in advance. That is, it is needless to say that the instant noodle 20 described later may be opened at the same time when it is transferred to the container.
さらに、図１２に示すように、容器の底面部１１を含む容器下部を開放するための第１展開線１３と側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線１４が両方の役割を兼ねた線となる態様もある。本発明はこれらの態様も含む。 Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the first development line 13 for opening the lower part of the container including the bottom surface part 11 of the container and the second development line 14 from the lower end of the side wall part toward the upper surface part of the container served as both roles. There is also an aspect that becomes a line. The present invention also includes these aspects.
次に、本発明品の製造方法について説明する。まず、一般的な即席カップ麺の製造工程について説明する。通常即席カップ麺は、小麦粉が水、かん水等と混練された後に、圧延・切出しされて生麺が製造される。本生麺が蒸煮又は茹で等によってα化された後に熱風乾燥や油熱乾燥によって乾燥される。このようにして製造された即席麺塊は通常製造ラインで紙やプラスチック等のカップに収納された後に、麺塊の上部よりスープや具材が封入されてから上部がキャップでシールされ、その後、外包装がされて完成する。 Next, a method for producing the product of the present invention will be described. First, the manufacturing process of a general instant cup noodle will be described. Usually, instant cup noodles are rolled and cut out after flour is kneaded with water, brine, etc., and raw noodles are produced. The raw noodles are gelatinized by steaming or boiling and then dried by hot air drying or oil heat drying. The instant noodle mass produced in this way is usually stored in a cup of paper, plastic, etc. in the production line, the soup and ingredients are sealed from the top of the noodle mass, and the top is sealed with a cap, The outer packaging is completed.
この際、コンベア上の金型に保持された紙又はプラスチックカップに麺や具材が順次、収納されている方法が採用される。 At this time, a method in which noodles and ingredients are sequentially stored in a paper or plastic cup held in a mold on a conveyor is employed.
本発明における即席麺塊の包装用容器は通常の即席カップ麺に使用されるカップ状の包装用容器をと同一又は類似の形状を有し、これを小サイズ化した形状のカップ容器が用いられる。このため、従来までのラインの金型のサイズを調整する等の簡単な調整により従来までのラインを使用することができる。 The instant noodle mass packaging container in the present invention has the same or similar shape as the cup-shaped packaging container used for ordinary instant cup noodles, and a cup container having a reduced size is used. . For this reason, the conventional line can be used by simple adjustment such as adjusting the size of the mold of the conventional line.
さらに、本発明におけるカップ内への即席麺塊、及び具材・スープ等の収納、上部のシール等も通常のカップ麺と同様の製造工程で生産することができる。したがって、上述のようにコンベア上の金型のサイズを変更する等の調整をすることで既存の即席カップ麺の製造ラインを直接に利用できる。 Furthermore, instant noodle masses in the cup, storage of ingredients, soup, etc., upper seals, and the like in the present invention can be produced in the same manufacturing process as ordinary cup noodles. Therefore, the existing instant cup noodle production line can be directly used by adjusting the size of the mold on the conveyor as described above.
すなわち、本発明の包装用容器においては、第１展開線及び第２展開線を設けておくことで、従来までのカップ麺の製造ラインを用いて製造することができる。このため、過剰な設備投資を不要とすることができる。 That is, the packaging container of the present invention can be manufactured using a conventional cup noodle production line by providing the first development line and the second development line. For this reason, excessive capital investment can be made unnecessary.
次に、本発明の包装用容器に略テーパ形状の即席麺塊が収納された包装即席麺を、詰め替え用の包装即席麺として、喫食用容器に移して具体的に喫食する際の手順について説明する。 Next, a description will be given of a procedure for specifically eating a packaged instant noodle in which a substantially tapered instant noodle mass is stored in the packaging container of the present invention, as a packaged instant noodle for refilling, to a container for eating. To do.
喫食者はまず、包装即席麺の下部側にもうけられた第１展開線１３を手掛かりに容器を開封する。すなわち、この容器下部に設けられた第１展開線１３となるミシン目に指を挿入する等して当該ミシン目の一部を開ける（図１３(a)）。続けて当該ミシン目に挿入した指で上部に容器下部を押し上げて開放する（図１３(b)）。 First, the eater opens the container with the first development line 13 provided on the lower side of the packaged instant noodles as a clue. That is, a part of the perforation is opened by inserting a finger into the perforation to be the first development line 13 provided in the lower part of the container (FIG. 13A). Subsequently, the lower part of the container is pushed upward and released by the finger inserted in the perforation (FIG. 13 (b)).
さらに、前記容器下部の開放後における側壁部下端より容器上面部に向かう第２展開線１４を開く、すなわち、上図では２本の第２展開線１４で挟まれた帯状部分を外側に引き出す(図１４)。この点、本実施例においては、第２展開線１４で挟まれた帯状部分を外側に引き出すという構成を示している。尚、開放された底面部１２を含む側壁部下端部は必ずしも容器本体から分離してもよいし、分離していなくてもよい。 Further, the second development line 14 is opened from the lower end of the side wall part to the upper surface part of the container after the opening of the lower part of the container. That is, in the upper drawing, the belt-like portion sandwiched between the two second development lines 14 is drawn outward ( FIG. 14). In this respect, the present embodiment shows a configuration in which the belt-like portion sandwiched between the second development lines 14 is pulled out. In addition, the side wall part lower end part including the open bottom face part 12 may be necessarily separated from the container main body, or may not be separated.
次に、帯状部分を外側に引き出すか又は分離した後の状態で（図１５（ａ））、別途準備した喫食用の容器４０を上方より被せる（図１５（ｂ））。１８０°反転させて、底面部を含む側壁部下端部を展開した包装用容器入り即席麺塊２０を、包装用容器４０の側壁部を開いて即席麺塊を落下させて収納する（図１５（ｃ））。 Next, in a state after the belt-like portion is pulled out or separated (FIG. 15 (a)), a separately prepared container 40 for eating is covered from above (FIG. 15 (b)). The instant noodle mass 20 with the packaging container in which the lower end portion of the side wall portion including the bottom surface portion is expanded by being inverted 180 ° is opened by opening the side wall portion of the packaging container 40 and dropping the instant noodle mass (FIG. 15 ( c)).
当該収納後において、熱湯を注加してから一定時間保持してから、喫食する。尚、このような用途のため、別途用意する喫食用の容器４０は、側壁部に略テーパ形状を有するものであり、前記即席麺塊をスライドさせて移動させた際に、図１６に示すように当該即席麺塊２０が前記喫食用容器４０の側壁部に中空保持されるものであるのがよい。 After the storage, the hot water is poured and held for a certain period of time before eating. In addition, for such an application, the container 40 for eating prepared separately has a substantially tapered shape on the side wall, and when the instant noodle mass is slid and moved, as shown in FIG. In addition, the instant noodle mass 20 is preferably held hollow in the side wall portion of the eating container 40.
上図１６のような態様であると熱湯を注加する場合、図１７に示すように、上部から及び注加した熱湯によって対流により即席麺塊２０の下部からも効率的に復元を促すことができる。 When hot water is poured into the embodiment as shown in FIG. 16, as shown in FIG. 17, it is possible to efficiently promote restoration from the upper part and also from the lower part of the instant noodle mass 20 by convection with the hot water added. it can.
