Have. Then, the side wall 320 continuously formed in the circumferential direction of the bottom wall 310 forms an opening 330 that opens upward, and a main body storage 331 that can store noodles and the like from the opening 330. Has been.

  Further, a flat placement surface 340 on which the flat portion 250 of the inner dish 200 is placed is provided at the upper end of the side wall 320. Further, a main body vertical wall portion 350 extending downward from the end portion of the mounting surface 340 is formed outside the opening 330, and further extends outward from the lower end of the main body vertical wall portion 350. A flat main body lateral wall portion 360 is formed. Further, an engaged portion 370 for engaging the engaging portion 130 of the lid 100 is provided at the end of the main body lateral wall portion 360. The mounting surface 340, the main body vertical wall portion 350, the main body horizontal wall portion 360, and the engaged portion 370 are continuously provided over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction of the container main body 300.

  The lid 100, the inner dish 200, and the container main body 300 according to the present embodiment are formed by using a sheet-shaped material having a thickness of about 0.22 mm to 2.00 mm, for example, by vacuum forming, For example, as the material of the lid 100 and the inner dish 200, polystyrene, polypropylene, polystyrene, A-PET, polylactic acid, and those obtained by biaxially stretching these materials are used. As the material of the container body 300, polystyrene, polypropylene, polystyrene, A-PET, polylactic acid, a foamed product of these, or a mixture of talc can be used. In addition, the lid 100, the inner dish 200, and the container main body 300 have a substantially circular shape in a plan view, but other shapes can be appropriately changed such as a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view and a polygon in a plan view.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, a usage mode of the container 400 of the present invention will be described. First, cold noodles (not shown) are accommodated in the container main body 300, and the middle dish 200 is placed so as to cover the opening 330 of the container main body 300. And after accommodating ingredients etc. (not shown) in this inner tray 200, the cover body 100 is further covered so that the inner tray 200 and the container main body 300 may be covered. In this state, the container 400 is shrunk or the like by wrapping the belt-shaped film T or the like on the flat surface 112 of the lid top surface 110 and winding it in the vertical direction of the container 400. And the container 400 by which shrink wrapping etc. was carried out is sold at a shop front. In addition, it is possible to shrink-wrap the entire container 400, but in response to the recent news of reducing the cost of packaging materials without using wasteful earth resources, a part of the container 400 is made by a strip-shaped film T or the like. Packaging.

  Next, a DD end view around the convex portion 111 of the shrink-wrapped container 400 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the flat portion 250 of the inner dish 200 is placed on the placement surface 340 of the container body 300. The state in which the flat portion 250 is placed on the placement surface 340 is continuous over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction of the inner dish 200 and the container body 300, so that the entire surface of the opening 330 is reliably secured by the inner dish 200. Covered with Further, since the middle dish hanging portion 260 of the middle dish 200 covers the main body vertical wall portion 350 of the container body 300, the middle dish 200 is shifted from the state of being placed on the container body 300 in the lateral direction. Prevents it from coming off from 300.

The lid 100 covers the inner tray 200 and the container main body 300, and the engaging portion 130 is engaged with and engaged with the engaged portion 370 of the container main body 300. The externally fitted state is continuous over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction of the container 400 except for the portion where the knob portion 140 is formed.

  Further, since the upper end 241 of the inner tray 200 is in contact with the back surface of the flat surface 112 of the lid 100, there is no gap between the flat surface 112 and the upper end 241 so that fingers and foreign objects can enter, and the inner tray is stored. It is possible to prevent foreign matters such as fingers and dust from entering the portion 231. Furthermore, when the other container 400 is stacked on the flat surface 112, the upper end 241 can support the other container 400 from below. If there is no gap, the height of the upper end 241 of the inner tray 200 may exceed the height of the flat surface 112 of the lid 100 depending on a dimensional error during molding, and external fitting may not be possible. Therefore, a slight gap (about 1.3 mm) may be provided between the upper end 241 and the flat surface 112 within a range where it is difficult for a finger or a foreign object to enter.

  Further, a gap is formed between the lid hanging part 120 of the lid 100 and the middle dish wall side surface 240 of the middle dish 200 to the middle dish hanging part 260. Therefore, when the purchaser removes the lid 100 from the container 400, the inner tray 200 cannot be lifted together with the lid 100, so that the ingredients stored in the inner tray 200 are not disturbed. Further, when removing the middle dish 200, the middle dish wall side surface 240 can be picked up and lifted with a finger, so that it is not necessary to separately form a knob part on the middle dish 200.

  Here, since the periphery of the convex portion 111 of the lid 100 shown in FIG. 5 is a portion where the belt-like film T or the like is not wound, there is a possibility that the lid 100 can be pry open if force is applied from the outside. There is a risk that fingers, dust, etc. may enter through the opened gap. Therefore, in the present invention, it will be described below that this can be effectively prevented.

  First, in FIG. 6A, the engaging portion 130 of the lid 100 is removed from the engaged portion 370 of the container body 300, and the finger is about to enter the inside of the container 400. Since the engaging portion 130 and the engaged portion 370 extend downward, the finger F tends to enter obliquely upward.

  However, as shown in FIG. 6A, the finger F that has entered obliquely upward contacts the vicinity of the upper end of the middle dish hanging part 260 and is difficult to penetrate further. Acts as a breakwater to prevent finger intrusion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a finger F, a foreign object, or the like from entering the middle dish storage unit 231 from the opening 230 of the middle dish 200.

  Next, it is assumed that the finger F tries to get over the middle dish hanging portion 260 and enter the inside. However, the intrusion is blocked by the middle dish wall side surface portion 240 that rises upward, and foreign objects such as fingers and dust can be prevented from entering the middle dish housing portion 231.

  Further, it is assumed that the finger F tries to enter the inside through the side wall portion 240 of the middle dish wall. However, as shown in FIG. 5, in the state where the lid 100 is covered, the upper end 241 of the middle dish wall side surface portion 240 is in contact with the back surface of the flat surface 112 of the lid 100. As shown in a), even if the lid 100 is to be pry open, only a slight gap is formed between the flat surface 112 and the upper end 241, and the finger F cannot enter through the slight gap. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a finger or a foreign object from entering the inner tray storage unit 231.

  Since the portion other than the convex portion 111 of the lid body 100, that is, the flat surface 112 is fixed to the container body 300 by shrink wrapping or the like, the lid body 100 can be further opened from the state of FIG. There is no. For this reason, the gap between the flat surface 112 and the upper end 241 is maintained to such an extent that the finger F or the like cannot enter, and the gap does not spread further, and the entry of the finger F or a foreign object can be prevented.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, it is assumed that the finger F tries to enter from the lateral direction. However, since the middle dish hanging portion 260 covers the main body vertical wall portion 350 along the surface of the main body vertical wall portion 350, a finger, dust or the like is placed between the middle dish hanging portion 260 and the main body vertical wall portion 350. There is no gap for intrusion. Further, since the middle dish hanging portion 260 is formed so as to hang downward, the finger F is not easily caught on the middle dish hanging portion 260, and the middle dish 200 can be prevented from being pry open. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the finger F and foreign matter from entering the main body storage portion 331 from the opening 330 of the container main body 300.

  Here, since the middle dish hanging part 260 is formed to hang downward, if the finger F enters from below, the finger F may be caught on the middle dish hanging part 260. However, as shown in FIG. 6C, since the main body horizontal wall portion 360 extends outward from the lower end of the main body vertical wall portion 350, the finger F can be seen only from the side along the surface of the main body horizontal wall portion 360. I can't invade. As a result, since the finger F cannot enter from below the middle dish hanging part 260, there is no possibility of being caught by the middle dish hanging part 260.

  Furthermore, since the middle dish hanging part 260 extends so as to cover the lower end of the main body vertical wall part 350, the lower end of the middle dish hanging part 260 is in contact with the surface of the main body horizontal wall part 360. Therefore, since there is no gap for the finger F or the like to be caught at the tip of the middle dish hanging portion 260, it is possible to more reliably prevent the finger F from being caught by the lower end of the middle dish hanging portion 260 and prying the middle dish 200. .

  Here, an example of each element of the present invention will be described with specific numerical values. First, it is preferable that the height H1 of the side plate wall side portion 240 is 3 mm to 20 mm, particularly 4 mm to 15 mm. This is because it is difficult for the finger F to enter from the opening 230 of the inner dish 200 when the lid is in the above-mentioned height range. Moreover, when the container vertical line L is set to 0 degree as a reference, the inclination angle of the middle dish hanging part 260 is preferably set to 5 ° to 45 °. When the inclination angle of the middle dish hanging part 260 is 45 ° or more, the middle dish 200 placed on the container body 300 is easily shifted in the horizontal direction, and when it is 5 ° or less, a draft angle from the molding die is secured. Because it becomes impossible.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the knob 140 of the lid 100 is arbitrary as long as it is a shape and size that can be pinched with a finger, such as a substantially triangular shape in plan view and a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. Can be determined. Further, a rib or a concavo-convex portion is formed on the coupling portion between the knob portion 140 and the lid body 100 so that the force applied to the knob portion 140 can be easily transmitted to the fitting portion between the lid body 100 and the container body 300. Also good. Moreover, although the partition 211 is provided as shown in FIG. 2, it is not limited to this. However, when it is used as a container for cold noodles, the provision of the partition 211 does not disturb the ingredients, makes the appearance look colorful and rich, and encourages purchasers at the store. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to a container for cold noodles, but for other uses, for example, a container corresponding to a range in which cooked rice is stored in the container body 300 and ingredients such as tonkatsu are stored in the inner plate. It can also be used in the case of an outer fitting container.

  The container of the present invention is not limited to the above-described examples, and various modifications and combinations are possible within the scope of the claims and the scope of the embodiments, and these modifications and combinations are possible. Are also included in the scope of their rights.
