Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging container and a food in a container.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a food containing a container having a food such as roll cake, Baumkuchen, and cake ice cut for each serving and a container for storing the food is known. The container in which food is stored includes a bottom plate and a side wall standing from the periphery of the bottom plate. When storing roll cake, Baumkuchen, cake ice, etc. in a container, the height of the side wall of the container is usually larger than the height of food such as roll cake in order to protect the side part of the food such as roll cake. Or it is comprised so that it may become substantially equivalent to the height of foodstuffs, such as a roll cake. When taking out a food such as a roll cake stored in such a container from the container, usually, the finger is inserted in the gap between the container side wall and the food and taken out, or a fork or the like is pierced. They take out or transfer food such as roll cake stored in a container to a dish or the like with the container upside down.

  However, when the food contained in the container is a soft food such as a roll cake, when the food is gripped and taken out by inserting a finger into the gap between the container side wall and the food, the gap is narrow. However, the side portion of the food is recessed, causing a large loss of shape, and it is difficult to take out the food from the container in a clean state. In addition, when food such as roll cake stored in a container is stabbed and taken out, there is a problem that the stab mark by the fork remains on the food and the stab mark is unsightly. Furthermore, when food is pierced and lifted with a fork, the food is supported by the pierced fork tip, so that the food loses its shape due to the action of its own weight, making it difficult to take out the food in a clean state. There was also a problem. Confectionery such as roll cakes may be provided to customers who visit homes or offices, but it is praised to provide food such as roll cakes that have been stabbed with a fork or out of shape. There is a need to remove food from containers in as clean a condition as possible.

  In addition, when food such as roll cake stored in a container is transferred to a dish or the like with the container turned upside down, the portion of the food that is in contact with the bottom of the container faces upward when it is transferred to the dish. Therefore, there is a problem that the appearance is not so beautiful. In addition, when a decoration fruit is placed on the top surface of food such as roll cake stored in the container, or when a pattern or the like is applied, the food stored in the container is stored in the container. It is not possible to transfer it to a dish or the like with the top and bottom reversed.After all, you have to put your finger into the gap between the container side wall and food, pierce it with a fork, etc. As described above, there is a problem that the shape may be lost and a fork stab remains.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and a packaging container that can take out food stored in a clean state without losing its shape, and such a container. It aims at providing the foodstuff with a container provided with food.

  The object of the present invention is a flexible packaging container for storing food, comprising a bottom plate and a side wall rising from the periphery of the bottom plate, the side wall extending downward from the upper end thereof. This is achieved by a packaging container having a plurality of notches through which a fingertip can pass.

  Such a packaging container is provided with a plurality of cutout portions that extend downward from the upper end of the side wall and through which a human fingertip can pass, so that the food stored in the packaging container is provided with cutout portions. Thus, it is possible to reliably and gently hold the finger with a plurality of fingers, and it is possible to effectively prevent the collapse of the shape when the stored food is taken out. In particular, when the food stored in the container is easy to lose its shape, such as roll cake, sponge cake, cake ice, etc., it should be transferred to a container such as a dish that looks good without breaking its outer shape. Is possible.

  Moreover, since the side wall of the packaging container according to the present invention includes a plurality of notches, the bottom plate can be easily bent along the region connecting the notches. For example, since the food stored in the container is lifted above the container so as to be detached from the bottom plate of the container by folding the central part of the bottom plate so as to protrude upward, the shape of the container is lost. It becomes possible to take out the food stored in the container without causing it.

  The packaging container preferably further includes an outer peripheral wall connected to the upper end of the side wall and extending downward and outward.

  By further providing such an outer peripheral wall, it is possible to increase the strength of the side wall portion while maintaining the ease of taking out the food stored in the container and the ease of folding the bottom plate. For example, when a packaging container containing food is transported or when a product shelf is displayed, even if any object hits the side of the container, the side wall of the container has a double structure of a side wall and an outer peripheral wall. Therefore, the impact given to the food stored in the container can be reduced, and the food in the container can be effectively prevented from being deformed.

  In addition, since the outer peripheral wall also plays a role of a handle that can be gripped by a finger, for example, the side wall and the outer peripheral wall can be inclined outward while gripping the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall. Can be handled better when the food in the container is lifted upward, and the food stored in the container can be more easily taken out.

  Moreover, it is preferable to further provide a connection wall that connects a peripheral edge of the notch and a side end of the outer peripheral wall.

  With such a configuration, the outer peripheral wall and the side wall can be integrated so that the strength of the side wall portion of the container can be further increased. In particular, when the bottom plate is easily bent along the region connecting the notches, it is possible to effectively prevent the side wall from being broken starting from the notches.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the said some notch part is formed in two places in the opposing position of the said side wall.

  When gripping food stored in the container, the thumb and index finger (or middle finger) that are most easily gripped can be made to enter the container through the respective notches, so that the food can be reliably and stably supplied. It becomes possible to grasp and take out the food inside the container.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the bottom plate is formed with a fold line passing through the center portion in plan view.

  By forming such a fold line on the bottom plate, the bottom plate can be bent easily when the side wall of the container is tilted outward and the bottom plate is bent, and the bent bottom plate portion is at a fixed position (fold line forming position). It is possible to effectively prevent the bottom plate from being bent at an unexpected position and the bottom plate from being bent at a position where it is difficult to lift the food stored in the container. It becomes.

  Moreover, it is preferable that each end part of the bend line is formed so as to be arranged in the vicinity of the lower position of each notch part.

  According to such a configuration, when the side plate is tilted outward and the bottom plate is bent, the bottom plate can be reliably bent along the region connecting the notches, and the bottom plate is bent to lift the food inside. On the other hand, it becomes very easy to grip the food through the notch, and the food stored in the container can be taken out without losing its shape.

  The object of the present invention is achieved by a packaged food comprising the packaging container and a food stored in the packaging container.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the packaging container which can take out the food accommodated in an inside in a beautiful state, without destroying a shape, and a foodstuff with a container provided with such a container and foodstuff can be provided. .

  Hereinafter, a packaging container and a food in a container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a packaging container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the packaging container 1. FIG. 3 is a front view of the packaging container 1, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the packaging container 1. FIG. 5 is a schematic end view in the AA cross section of FIG. 2, and FIG. 6 is a schematic end view in the BB cross section of FIG.

  The packaging container 1 according to the present invention is a flexible container suitable for storing soft foods such as roll cakes, baumkuchens, cake ices, and the like cut for each serving. The packaging container 1 can be formed, for example, by forming a sheet using a synthetic resin sheet (vacuum formation in which the sheet is sucked into a mold while being heated). As the synthetic resin sheet, for example, a sheet of heat-flexible plastic such as non-foamed polystyrene, foamed polystyrene, non-foamed polypropylene, foamed polypropylene, non-foamed polyethylene, foamed polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc., having appropriate hardness and toughness. What was formed in the shape can be used.

  The packaging container 1 has a shape with an open top surface, and as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a circular bottom plate 2, and side walls 3 that rise upward from the periphery (periphery) of the bottom plate 2. The outer peripheral wall 4 is connected to the upper end 3b of the side wall 3 and extends downward and the connection wall 5 is provided.

  A plurality of annular step portions 21 are formed concentrically on the outer peripheral portion of the bottom plate 2. As shown in the end views of FIGS. 5 and 6, the stepped portion 21 is configured to include a portion 21 a that protrudes toward the inside of the container and a portion 21 b that protrudes toward the outside of the container. The portion 21a that protrudes toward the inside of the container has a non-slip function that prevents the movement (position shift) of food such as a roll cake stored inside the container, and the portion 21b that protrudes toward the outside of the container Has a function as an anti-slip when placed on a table or table. Further, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 2, the annular step portion 21 includes a plurality of recess portions 211 that are arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction. The recess 211 is configured to cut the ring shape of the stepped portion 21, and in particular moves such that food such as roll cake rotates inside the container (such as along the circumferential direction of the stepped portion 21. Rotation) is effectively prevented. In the present embodiment, the shape of the bottom plate 2 is formed in a circular shape, but is not particularly limited to such a configuration, and may be, for example, a polygon such as a quadrilateral, a five-stroke shape, or a six-stroke shape. It may be oval.

  The side wall 3 is configured to rise upward from the periphery (periphery) of the bottom plate 2 as described above. As shown in the end views of FIGS. 5 and 6, the side wall 3 is formed so as to spread outward from the bottom plate 2. In the present embodiment, the region 3a extending horizontally outward is provided at a substantially intermediate position between the upper end and the lower end of the side wall 3. However, without providing such a region 3a, for example, the upper end and the lower end of the side wall 3 are provided. The side wall 3 may be configured to be an inclined surface that connects the two. The height of the side wall 3 is set to be substantially the same as or slightly higher than the height of soft foods such as roll cake, baumkuchen, and cake ice cut for each serving stored in the container.

  As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1, the front view of FIG. 3, etc., the side wall 3 extends downward from the upper end 3 b of the side wall 3 and has a notch 6 having a width that allows a fingertip to pass therethrough. A plurality of are formed. These notches 6 are respectively formed at two locations at opposite positions of the side wall 3. Each notch portion 6 has a pair of vertical peripheral edge portions 61 extending in the vertical direction, and a horizontal peripheral edge portion 62 that connects the vertical peripheral edge portions 61 to each other in the horizontal direction. The formation position of the lateral peripheral edge 62 of the notch 6 is set to be a substantially intermediate position between the upper end and the lower end of the side wall 3.

  As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1 and the end view of FIG. 6, the outer peripheral wall 4 is configured to be connected to the upper end 3 b of the side wall 3 and extend downward and outward. It is set so as to be at a substantially intermediate position with respect to the lower end. Further, the outer peripheral wall 4 is formed so as to spread outward as it goes downward from the upper end of the side wall 3, and is configured to form a space portion 7 between the outer peripheral wall 4 and the side wall 3. The space 7 is preferably formed to such an extent that a fingertip can be inserted. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the outer peripheral wall 4 is comprised so that the surface of the outer peripheral wall 4 may become a smooth surface, in order to improve the intensity | strength of the outer peripheral wall 4 other than such a structure, for example, Alternatively, a part or the whole of the outer peripheral wall 4 may be configured in a wave shape. Further, a reinforcing rib or the like may be provided on the surface of the outer peripheral wall 4.

  As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1, the connection wall 5 is a member that connects the peripheral edge of the notch 6 and the side edge of the outer peripheral wall 4, and in this embodiment, the side of the outer peripheral wall 4. A first connection wall 51 that connects the end portion and the longitudinal peripheral edge portion 61 of the notch portion 6, and a second connection that extends substantially horizontally outward from the lateral peripheral edge portion 62 of the notch portion 6 and connects to the first connection wall 51. And a wall 52. The region surrounded by the first connection wall 51 and the second connection wall 52 is formed so that the fingertip can pass therethrough.

  The packaging container 1 configured as described above is suitably used as a container for food containing a container containing relatively soft soft food such as roll cake, Baumkuchen, and cake ice. Although the upper surface of the packaging container 1 has an opening shape, the opening may be covered with a covering member (not shown) such as a lid or a wrap.

  As described above, the packaging container 1 according to the present invention includes a plurality of cutout portions 6 that extend downward from the upper end 3b of the side wall 3 and through which a human fingertip can pass. The food stored in the container can be securely gripped by a plurality of fingers through the notch portion 6, and the food stored in the container can be taken out to the outside in a clean state without losing its shape. . In particular, even if the food stored in the container is easy to lose its shape, such as roll cake or cake ice, it can be securely and gently held by the fingertips, so that its outer shape is destroyed. It can be easily transferred to a container such as a plate or eaten as it is.

  Further, the bottom plate 2 can be easily bent by tilting the side wall portions respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the region connecting the notches 6 so as to be tilted outward. That is, as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. 7, the food Z stored in the container is separated from the bottom plate 2 of the container by bending the central portion of the bottom plate 2 so as to protrude upward. As a result, the food Z can be held as low as possible through the notch 6, and the food Z stored in the container can be taken out without being deformed. Become. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the horizontal peripheral edge part 62 in the notch part 6 is set so that it may become a substantially intermediate position between the upper end and lower end of the side wall 3, the bottom plate 2 was bent and the food was pushed up. In this case, since it becomes possible to grasp a position lower than the gravity center position of the food Z with the fingertip through the notch portion 6, it is possible to further prevent the deformation of the shape when taking out the food Z stored in the container. It becomes possible.

  Further, the packaging container 1 further includes an outer peripheral wall 4 connected to the upper end of the side wall 3 and extending downwardly outward. By providing such an outer peripheral wall 4, the food stored in the container can be taken out. The strength of the side wall portion can be increased while maintaining the ease and the ease of bending the bottom plate 2. For example, when a packaging container 1 containing food is transported or when a product shelf is displayed, even if an object hits the side of the container, the side walls of the container are the side wall 3 and the outer peripheral wall 4 via the space 7. It is possible to reduce the impact given to the food stored in the container, and the food in the container is laterally displaced and loses its shape. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the space part 7 is formed between the side wall 3 and the outer peripheral wall 4, the outer peripheral wall 4 also exhibits the role of the handle which can be hold | gripped with a finger | toe. Therefore, for example, the side wall 3 and the outer peripheral wall 4 can be tilted outward while the lower ends of the outer peripheral walls 4 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the region connecting the notches 6 are respectively gripped by fingers of the left and right hands. Therefore, the handling when the bottom plate 2 is bent to lift the food inside the container upward can be improved, and the food stored in the container can be more easily taken out.

  Moreover, although the connection wall 5 which connects the periphery of the notch part 6 and the side edge part of the outer peripheral wall 4 is further provided, the outer peripheral wall 4 and the side wall 3 are united by such structure. Since it can comprise, the intensity | strength of the side wall 3 part of a container can be raised further. In particular, it is possible to effectively prevent the side wall 3 from being broken from the notch 6 when the bottom plate 2 is bent along the region connecting the notches 6.

  Further, in the packaging container 1, the plurality of notches 6 are formed at two positions at the opposite positions of the side wall 3, but when such a configuration is adopted, the food stored in the container is When gripping, the thumb and index finger (or middle finger) that are most easily gripped can enter the inside of the container through the respective notches 6, so that the food inside the container can be gripped reliably and stably. Can be taken out.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of the packaging container 1 which concerns on this invention was described, the specific structure of the packaging container 1 is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, in the said embodiment, although it is a structure provided with the outer peripheral wall 4 and the connection wall 5, the structure which abbreviate | omits these outer peripheral walls 4 and the connection wall 5 is also employable. Further, the connection wall 5 may be omitted and the outer peripheral wall 4 may be provided. Alternatively, a configuration in which only the first connection wall 51 of the connection wall 5 is omitted while the outer peripheral wall 4 is provided, or a configuration in which only the second connection wall 52 of the connection wall 5 is omitted may be employed.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it has comprised so that the notch part 6 with which the side wall 3 is provided is formed in two places in the opposing position of the side wall 3, for example, the circumference | surroundings of the side wall 3 are divided into 3 equal parts. You may form the notch 6 in each of the positions.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, as shown in the top view of FIG. 8, you may comprise so that the baseplate 2 may be provided with the linear bending line 22 which passes through the center part. The bend line 22 can be configured by forming straight ridges or ridges in a predetermined region of the bottom plate 2. By forming such a fold line 22 on the bottom plate 2, the bottom plate 2 can be easily folded along the fold line 22 when the side wall 3 of the container is tilted outward, and the bent bottom plate portion is fixed. Position (folding line 22 forming position), and the bottom plate 2 is bent at an unexpected position, or the bottom plate 2 is at a position where it is difficult to effectively lift the food stored in the container. It is possible to effectively prevent the bending.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 8, each end of the fold line 22 is arranged in the vicinity of the lower position of each notch 6 so that the side wall 3 of the container is inclined outward and the bottom plate 2 is bent. The bottom plate 2 can be reliably bent along the region connecting the notches 6, and food such as roll cake can be gripped through the notches 6 while lifting the food inside the bottom plate 2. It becomes extremely easy, and the food stored in the container can be easily taken out without losing its shape.
