Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing frozen confectionery that can store frozen confectionery in a predetermined shape, a container containing frozen confectionery in which the frozen confectionery container is stored, and a bulging member.

  Containers are known in which a concave depression is formed in frozen desserts such as ice confectionery (such as sorbet ice) and ice cream, and liquid can be injected into the depression. If the frozen confectionery has a concave depression, a beverage liquid such as milk or syrup can be poured into the concave depression and stirred to easily mix the frozen confectionery and the beverage liquid. For example, a frozen beverage can be easily prepared by pouring milk into a frozen dessert having a concave shape and stirring the frozen dessert and milk.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a container lid having a conical convex portion protruding downward from an opening portion of a container is covered to form a frozen dessert having a conical concave portion, and used for beverages such as alcoholic beverages. An ice confectionery container capable of injecting a liquid is disclosed. Patent Document 2 discloses a container for storing frozen desserts that can be frozen in a state where a cap protruding downward from the opening of the container is covered to form an additive food filling space. With the ice confectionery container of Patent Documents 1 and 2, a frozen beverage can be easily prepared without generating noise from a blender or the like.

  However, when molding a concave dent in ice confectionery, the container lid adheres firmly to the ice confectionery, making it difficult to separate the ice confectionery from the container lid. Therefore, Patent Document 3 discloses a frozen dessert container in which a spiral step is formed on the outer surface of a bulging member (inner lid) that bulges vertically downward. If it is a container for the frozen confectionery of Patent Document 3, the frozen confectionery can be accommodated in a shape having a concave depression, and the bulging member is rotated along a spiral staircase at the interface between the frozen confectionery and the bulging member. This makes it possible to separate the frozen dessert from the bulging member.
