Description

  The present invention relates to an instant noodle package in which the instant noodle mass is accommodated inside the package, the instant noodle mass is taken out after the package is opened, and the lower part of the package becomes a container for eating instant noodles.

  Instant noodles are a type of instant food that can be consumed safely and easily by consumers. Various things are known to date.

  Usually, instant noodles include a bag noodle type and a cup noodle type. The former requires cooking utensils (for example, pots and the like) and tableware (for example, bowls and the like) separately when cooking.

  In addition, there is a bag noodle seasoned with noodles in advance, which can be restored and cooked only by preparing the tableware, omitting cooking utensils. For example, “Chicken Ramen” (registered trademark) by the present applicant is widely known as the bag noodle. The bag noodles are of a type in which the instant noodle chunks stored in the bag are taken out of the bag, prepared separately, such as rice cake, and hot water is poured into the dishes containing the instant noodle chunks. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of saving the trouble of preparing the tableware, a technique for directly using the packaging bag as a container for eating is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  As other than noodles, cup noodles in which instant noodle chunks are stored in cup-shaped or bowl-shaped containers are also known. In this method, instant noodle chunks, soup, ingredients, etc. are stored in a plastic or paper cup-shaped or bowl-shaped container, the lid is peeled off during cooking, and hot water is poured to eat.

6-3849

However, as described above, bag noodles require cooking by putting noodle chunks in tableware and pouring hot water.

  In addition, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which a packaging bag is used as a food container as it is from the viewpoint of saving the trouble of preparing tableware, but the technique is applied to an upper mouth portion of a vertically long bag body. A chuck part is provided, hot water is poured directly from the upper part, the chuck part is closed, and eating is carried out after holding for a certain time. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to take out noodles and the like from the packaging bag at the time of eating. Moreover, although a cut is provided also in the middle part of the bag body, there is a risk that the contents may be scattered during the cutting operation at the time of eating.

  In addition, noodles such as instant noodles are eaten in a bowl-shaped container with a wide opening and a relatively shallow bottom, which is easy to eat and is considered to be a general style. In this invention, this point is not sufficient.

  Furthermore, in cup noodles, it is not necessary to prepare a container for eating, but since the shape of the cup container itself becomes a substantially inverted truncated cone shape, etc., when storing a large number of cup noodles, storing it in a compact manner It is difficult, and there is a problem that a lot of space is taken when stocking a large amount.

  Further, cup noodles in ordinary plastic containers have some oxygen permeability and water vapor permeability.

  Therefore, for example, when extremely long-term storage is required for emergency storage such as disasters, there is a great risk that quality changes derived from moisture and oil contained in noodles and ingredients in cup noodles will become apparent. .

  In addition, when eating bag noodles or cup noodles, eating tools such as chopsticks and renge are necessary, but in the case of ordinary cup noodles, the space inside the cup is often round, so cup chopsticks and renge. It is difficult to store the inside of the cup, and even if it is stored, it may vibrate in the cup during transportation or the like, and the cup or instant noodle mass may be pierced.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present inventors are compact in the state of storing instant noodle chunks, do not need extra space as an emergency stockpile, and have an opening that is widened when eating. In addition, the object was to develop an instant noodle package that can be used as a shallow-bottomed bowl-shaped eating container, and can be stored for a long period of time and can store chopsticks and lotus root.

In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors have conducted intensive research, and as a result, the present invention is as follows. That is,
Claim 1
An instant noodle package containing a thin instant noodle mass inside a substantially flat package,
In the vicinity of the upper end of the package body in the longitudinal direction, a first package body cutting portion in the lateral direction is provided,
In the vicinity of the central portion of the package body in the longitudinal direction, a second package body cutting portion in the lateral direction is provided,
An instant noodle package characterized in that the lower part of the package cut by the second package cutting unit is a self-supporting eating container for instant noodles.

  According to the instant noodle package of the present invention, it is possible to provide a substantially flat instant noodle package, so even when a large number of packages are stored, they can be accumulated at a high density and stored in large quantities. However, the space can be made smaller and it can be stored compactly.

  In addition, since the lower part of the package can be separated and used as a container for eating instant noodles, the second cut portion is immediately below the upper end of the thin instant noodle mass containing the second cut portion, so that the second Even if it cannot be cut at the cutting part, the first cutting part near the upper end of the package is cut first, and the second cutting part can be easily cut by cutting at the second cutting part after taking out the stored items. An instant noodle package is provided that can be cut at a portion to form a container for instant noodle eating.

  Furthermore, depending on the shape of the instant noodle mass to be stored, the bottom portion of the self-supporting eating container was developed and stored in an unopened state or without being taken out after cutting at the first cutting portion. Provided is an instant noodle package in which the instant noodle mass is stored in the developed container portion for eating and then cut at the second cutting portion.

Next, the instant noodle package according to claim 1, wherein twice the length of the second package cut part according to claim 2 is larger than the length of the outer periphery of the upper surface of the instant noodle mass, It is.

  In this case, the entire circumference of the opening of the eating container formed from the lower part of the package cut at the second package cutting part is larger than the outer circumference of the instant noodle mass. Therefore, the instant noodle mass can be put in the eating container substantially along the opening of the eating container with its upper surface in a horizontal state.

  In this eating style, there is no problem that it is difficult to take out noodles and the like with chopsticks or forks when eating when the food is eaten in a vertically long package.

Further, the instant noodle mass according to claim 3 has a substantially cylindrical outer shape,
The instant noodle package according to claim 2, wherein the width of the bottom portion of the self-supporting eating container after deployment is larger than the diameter of the instant noodle mass.

  In the self-supporting eating container developed from the lower part of the packaging body after being cut at the second packaging body cutting part, when the width of the bottom part is larger than the diameter of the substantially cylindrical instant noodle mass, the substantially cylindrical shape Instant noodle chunks can be stably stored up to the bottom of the eating container in a horizontal state.

In addition, in the instant noodle package according to claim 4, the instant noodle package according to any one of claims 1 to 3, comprising any one or more of soup, eating utensils, and oxygen scavengers.
In this case, the first cutting portion can be immediately cut at the first cutting portion by positioning the first cutting portion at the lower portion than the highest position in the vertical direction among any items included in the instant noodle package. Even if it is not possible, first cut at the second cutting part, take out the stored items and cut at the first cutting part, then easily cut at the second cutting part, An instant noodle package that can be formed is provided.

In addition, for foods that contain edible tools such as chopsticks, lotus root, etc., it is possible to prepare foods that are fully prepared to the extent that nothing other than hot water is required for eating. A useful instant noodle package can be provided.

By using the present invention, the instant noodles are compact when stored, and do not require extra space as an emergency stockpile. It is possible to provide an instant noodle package that can be used as a container for eating and that can be stored for a long period of time and can store chopsticks and lotus root. This instant noodle package can be used even in an emergency such as a disaster, and is very useful and effective for stockpiling, relief supplies, and the like.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the instant noodle package, only the instant noodle mass is enclosed in the package.

  Here, as the material of the package for instant noodle packaging in the present invention, various kinds of commonly used materials can be used. Specifically, existing packaging materials such as plastic, paper, a laminate of plastic and paper, and those containing aluminum can be used. In particular, when aluminum is contained, it is excellent in barrier properties such as oxygen and water vapor, and therefore suitable for long-term storage. In the present invention, since hot water or the like is poured, it is necessary to use a material that does not leak in this case.

  Although the form of this package is in principle a square when viewed from the front, it is not limited to this, and various forms such as a trapezoid can be used.

  Further, in the present invention, the lower part of the package body has been described above, but since it becomes a self-supporting eating container after separation at the second cutting part, the lower part of the package body has a structure having self-supporting properties. Necessary.

  Various structures can be selected as the self-supporting structure. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a form in which a bottom sheet folded in a mountain shape is sandwiched between both side surface parts and sealed is generally used. In addition to the normal seal shown in 3 (a), there is a method in which the bottom surface is curvedly sealed as shown in (b) and a method of oblique sealing as shown in (c). Moreover, as shown in (d), in order to stabilize independence, the form etc. which provided the reinforcement piece made from metal etc. in the bottom part are also considered. However, when packaging soup, chopsticks, lotus root, ingredients, oxygen scavengers, etc. other than instant noodle chunks are stored, it is necessary to seal them while taking into account the storage space.

  What is stored in the package is an instant noodle mass. Here, the instant noodle mass refers to what is conventionally produced by a known production method, and generally uses wheat flour or buckwheat flour as a main raw material, and then adds water, sodium chloride, rice bran, etc., to make noodles, seasoning The product is seasoned or unsealed with a liquid and dried by oil heat drying or hot air drying. Instant noodles can be eaten just by pouring hot water, the attached seasonings (soup, etc.) are added to the noodles, and then the hot water is added to the noodles, or hot pots, etc. There are various types, such as heating noodles with a cooking utensil and cooking after cooking, but in the present invention, mainly pouring hot water or adding a seasoning (soup, etc.) It is intended for instant noodles that can be eaten just by pouring hot water.

  In addition, if it is a type which needs a heating, cooking with a microwave oven etc. is also possible by making a package body material into a heat-resistant plastic etc. and making it the material which does not contain aluminum. In this case, cooking can be performed after pouring water or the like into the container for eating after separation at the second cutting section.

  The shape of the instant noodle mass to be stored may be thin. Here, the term “thin” means that the packaging body only needs to maintain a substantially flat state when stored in the packaging body, and is not particularly limited by the thickness of the instant noodle mass. Moreover, the shape of the instant noodle mass is not limited to a columnar shape, but may be a prismatic shape, a pedestal shape, a truncated cone, a truncated pyramid, or the like.

  In addition, when the instant noodle mass is stored in the package, it may be stored individually wrapped with a packaging material such as polyethylene or polypropylene. By doing so, even if the package itself is damaged, the instant noodle mass inside is not affected, so that it becomes safer. In addition, when using the drying tool material etc. which are mentioned later, this and the instant noodle chunk may be integrally packaged.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the instant noodle wrapping body is provided with a second wrapping body cutting portion (2) in the lateral direction in the vicinity of the central portion of the wrapping material in the vertical direction. This 2nd package cutting part is for separating a package lower part in order to utilize the package lower part after a cutting | disconnection as a container for eating. The second cut portion may be provided in the vicinity of the central portion in the vertical direction, and the position is not particularly limited. The height of the container (container opening) when the self-supporting eating container described later is assembled is the position of the second cutting section.

  Specifically, if the amount of instant noodle mass to be stored is large or the thickness of the instant noodle is thick, it may be set relatively high, if the amount of instant noodle mass is small, or if the thickness is thin. For example, it can be set at a low position, and can be appropriately changed depending on the amount of hot water to be poured. Specifically, the position of the second cutting part is preferably about 6 cm to 12 cm from the lower end part.

  Moreover, it is preferable that twice the length of the second package cutting part is larger than the length of the outer periphery of the upper surface of the instant noodle mass.

  First, here, the length of the second package body cutting portion refers to the length of the second package body cutting portion excluding the seal portion when sealing both ends, and is the length of AA ′ in FIG. Say it. Double the length of the second package cutting part is the opening of the eating container assembled from the lower part of the separated package after being cut at the second cutting part as shown by the broken line 10 in FIG. It becomes the outer periphery (AA′-A) of the part. And as above-mentioned, if it is normal noodles, it will be easy to eat in a bowl-shaped container with a wide opening and a shallow bottom. Therefore, in the state where the bottom of the eating container is expanded and the eating container is completed by making the total length of the opening longer than the entire length of the outer periphery of the upper surface of the instant noodle mass shown in 11 of FIG. Can be easily stored in the eating container in a horizontal state.

  Furthermore, in the case of a self-supporting eating container, the shape of the bottom surface portion is the bottom surface width (BB ′) shown in 12 of FIG. 5 (the length excluding the seal portion from the vertical length of the bottom surface portion 6 of FIG. ), But if the bottom width (12) of the bottom portion is larger than the diameter of the substantially cylindrical instant noodle mass to be stored, the instant noodle mass is leveled to the bottom of the self-supporting container while the top surface is horizontal. The noodle mass can be stored without pressing the side wall.

  In this way, by storing the instant noodle chunks in the finished eating container almost horizontally to the bottom part, the instant noodle chunks do not protrude from the eating container, and even when pouring hot water, etc. Can be prevented. Moreover, since it is a horizontal state, a drying tool etc. can be stably put on noodles.

  Moreover, as a shape of the container for eating, the shape of a square tube other than the cylindrical bowl shape is possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a metal thin plate (13) is attached in advance under the package body second cut portion to hold the prismatic shape in advance and smoothly store the prismatic instant noodle mass. It can also be made possible.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the cutting line of the second cutting portion (2), when the package is composed of a plurality of layers, in addition to the method of providing a break line in any one of the layers. A guide (14) for guiding the cutting direction may be provided above and below the cut surface. Moreover, as shown to (b), it is good also as a structure which provides a knob (15) and peels off to the side edge seal part of a cutting part (2). In the case of providing the knob (15), as shown in (c), the knob (15) is provided on both side edge seal portions on the front and back of the package, and cut on each side. You may leave it.

  In the state where the thin instant noodle mass is stored in the package body in the vertical direction so that the instant noodle package body after the instant noodle storage is kept in a substantially flat state, as shown in FIG. The instant noodle mass enters the valley part of the bottom part folded in half, but under this state, the vertical upper end of the stored instant noodle mass is the second for separating the bowl-shaped container for eating It is often located above or near the cutting line of the cutting part (2).

  For this reason, if the instant noodle package is to be cut simultaneously on both sides of the package at the second cutting part, there is an instant noodle mass inside, so this becomes an obstacle to cutting, making it difficult to cut both sides of the package at the same time Become.

  Therefore, it is necessary to take out the instant noodle mass inside, and for this purpose, first, the first cutting portion (1) shown in FIG. 1 is used.

  This first cutting part (1) is provided near the upper end of the packaging material, and as described above, there is no obstacle to the instant noodle mass at the time of cutting, so that both front and back surfaces of the packaging material can be easily cut simultaneously. it can. And if it is after taking out an instant instant noodle lump etc. once outside by this, a package can be easily cut | disconnected by a 2nd cutting part (2). Thus, if the package is empty, it can be easily separated at the second cutting portion (2) to easily obtain the eating container at the bottom of the package.

In addition, since the 1st cutting part (1) is for taking out the content stored, it is not necessary to isolate | separate a cutting part completely from a package after cutting | disconnection, but to the extent that a stored item is taken out. It is enough to be opened. Therefore, in the case of cutting with a cutting line, various methods such as a case where the cutting part does not reach one end of the package, a method of opening only one side of the package, and a method of opening diagonally are possible. It is. Moreover, since the 1st cutting part (1) does not need to follow the determined cutting line, a cutting line etc. may not be provided but a notch part (3) may only be provided in a package side edge seal part.
Depending on the shape or the like of the instant noodle mass to be stored, the bottom portion (6) of the self-supporting eating container is developed in an unopened state or without removing the stored item after cutting at the first cutting portion, It is also possible to store the instant noodle mass (7) stored in the developed container for eating and then cut it at the second cutting section (2).

  Further, in the instant noodle package, as shown in FIG. 9, in addition to the instant noodle mass, soup (12), chopsticks (14), lotus root (13), ingredients (15), oxygen scavenger, etc. are stored. I can leave. In particular, if you store chopsticks and lotus root, you will have a completed instant noodle package that you can eat with hot water.

  In this case, there is a case where an object whose upper end is higher than the instant noodle mass in the longitudinal direction of the package body is included, but in this case, the second cut portion is positioned lower than the object. If it exists, the said thing becomes an obstacle as mentioned above, and it becomes difficult to cut | disconnect both surfaces of a package body simultaneously in a 2nd cutting part. Therefore, in this case as well, it is necessary to cut once at the first cutting portion, take out the contents, and then cut at the second cutting portion.

  Next, various things other than the instant noodle chunks that can be stored in the package are possible. These contents will be described below.

  First, the soup can be used when the noodles are not seasoned or when it is desired to enhance the seasoning. Soup can be either powdered or liquid soup as long as it is packaged. As the main formulation of soup, in addition to salt, sugar, sodium glutamate, soy sauce, yeast extract, livestock meat extract, seafood extract, vegetable extract, spices, organic acids, seasoning oil, caramel pigment, and the like can also be added. In addition, if it is powder soup, it is also possible to put directly in the package body without packaging.

  Examples of eating tools include chopsticks and lotus root.

  Various types of chopsticks can be stored. Further, in the case of chopsticks, if the chopsticks are stored as they are, the wrapping chopsticks or the chopsticks that can be expanded and contracted are preferable because they may be longer than the length of the package.

  Further, from the standpoint of preventing vibrations in the package of chopsticks and a lotus leaf which will be described later, the chopsticks and the lotus may be packaged with a simple plastic packaging material.

  Next, the lotus is preferably made of plastic rather than pottery due to problems such as breakage, but various types of shapes can be used.

  As the ingredients, freeze-dried, hot-air-dried or oil-heat-dried, and retort-treated package-enclosed high-moisture ingredients can also be used. As raw materials, animal products such as pork and livestock products such as eggs, marine products such as shrimp, crab, octopus and clams, plant materials such as cabbage, leek and carrot, forest products such as shiitake, shimeji and menma, Various raw materials such as seafood such as seaweed and kelp can be used.

  Furthermore, it is possible to use a molding tool material in which these raw materials are covered with starch or the like and integrally freeze-dried. If it is this molding tool material, since isolation | separation etc. of ingredients can be suppressed, there exists an advantage that it is easy to take out when taking out the stored item in a package, and is easy to handle at the time of eating.

  This packaging material can also contain an oxygen scavenger as appropriate. When the instant noodle mass is an oil heat dried product, the oxidation of the oil often affects the quality. For this reason, by storing an oxygen scavenger such as AGELESS (registered trademark) for oxygen absorption, oxygen can be removed and deterioration of the oil can be prevented. Although it depends on the oxygen absorption amount of the oxygen scavenger used, generally it is possible to store for a long time by using a highly barrier packaging material containing aluminum etc. and using this in combination with the oxygen scavenger. It is considered a thing.

  There is also a method of replacing nitrogen when sealing the upper part of the package. By reducing the amount of oxygen in the package, the oxidation of fats and oils during storage can be suppressed.

  A general procedure for eating the instant noodle packaging material of the present invention will be described.

  Usually, the instant noodle package does not need to be self-supporting when packed or transported, and can therefore be handled in a substantially flat shape. Therefore, when handling as an emergency stockpile, etc., boxing, storage, etc. can be performed in the above state, and space can be used efficiently.

  At the time of eating, first, the first package cut part of the package is opened, and the stored instant noodle chunks, package soup, ingredients, chopsticks, lotus and the like are taken out. In addition, when there is a situation such as a case where the material to be stored is small, the material may be cut at the second package cutting part while remaining at the lower part of the package.

  Next, the lower part of the packaging body is separated from the packaging material after removal by the second cutting part, and the bottom surface of the lower part of the packaging body after separation is expanded to form a self-supporting eating container shown in FIG.

  Depending on the shape of instant noodle chunks, ingredients, chopsticks, etc., unopened or without taking out the stored items after cutting at the first cutting part, the bottom part of the self-supporting eating container is developed, A method in which the stored instant noodle chunks, ingredients and the like are stored in the developed eating container portion and then cut at the second cutting portion is also possible.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11, instant noodle chunks, ingredients and the like are put in a container for eating, and hot water is poured up to a water line provided on the outer surface or inner surface of the package and held for a certain period of time. At this time, the upper part of the package separated by the second package cutting unit can also be used as a lid.

<Example>
Examples of the present invention are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
First, about manufacture of a package, the sheet | seat on which the polyethylene film, the nylon film, the aluminum foil, and the polyethylene terephthalate were laminated | stacked in order from the surface used as the inner side of the container packaging material after completion was used. In addition, about the stretched nylon and the polyethylene terephthalate film, the easily tearable thing was used. Furthermore, a break line for cutting was provided in the nylon film.

  In this sheet configuration, the length is 21 cm, the width is 21 cm, and two sheet materials on both sides provided with a cutting line (inner layer nylon film) in the horizontal direction at positions 4 cm and 11 cm from the upper end, A sheet material of 13 cm in length and 21 cm in width was prepared. Moreover, about the sheet | seat of the bottom face part, the notch part for seal | sticker adhesion | attachment was provided in two places in the object in the right-and-left end part across the vertical direction center part.

  Furthermore, insert the bottom part, which is folded in two into a mountain fold, between the two side parts so that the polyethylene film side is the outside at the crease line in the longitudinal center between both side parts, After sealing each in an arc shape, the right end portion and the left end portion of the side surface portions were sealed to complete a package for instant noodle packaging.

  Next, as a method for producing instant noodle masses to be stored in the interior, it is produced by cutting out a rolled product by adding water, citrus, etc. to wheat flour, cooking and then oil-drying the product seasoned with the seasoning liquid A cylindrical instant noodle mass was used. The size of the instant noodle mass was 10.6 cm in diameter and 3 cm in thickness. Next, a freeze-dried molded dried egg product was used as the drying tool material.

  As for chopsticks, a chopstick that can house a wooden tip inside a hollow polypropylene holder is used. Moreover, about the lotus, the thing made from a polypropylene was used. Further, as the deoxidizing material, one having an oxygen absorption amount of 200 cc was used.

  The instant noodle mass, chopsticks, lotus root, oxygen scavenger and freeze-dried material were stored in the package, and the upper part was sealed to complete the instant noodle package.

  When eating, the upper portion of the instant noodle package was cut at the first cutting portion and opened, and then the instant noodle mass, freeze-dried ingredients, chopsticks, lotus root, and oxygen scavenger were taken out. Next, the empty package was cut at the first cutting part, and the lower part of the package was developed to obtain a substantially circular bowl-shaped eating container.

Instant noodle chunks were put in the container for eating, a freeze-dried molding material was placed on top of the noodles, and 400 ml of hot water prepared was poured from the top of the instant noodle chunks. The upper part was left open for 3 minutes, and was eaten with the chopsticks and lotus that had been removed earlier. In addition, as a comparative control, instant noodle chunks in a normal bag were put in a ceramic bowl and cooked in the same manner. There was no particular problem in eating.

By using the instant noodle package of the present invention, a large amount of instant noodles can be stored without taking up space. Thereby, it can be usefully used as stockpile or relief supplies at the time of disaster, food for climbing, and the like.
