Description

The present invention relates to a container for packaging a frozen dessert material such as shaved ice or sherbet while forming a recess.

Conventionally, a container has been provided in which anyone can easily make a frozen beverage by forming a recess in a confectionery such as shaved ice or sherbet and pouring a beverage such as coffee, juice, or alcohol into the recess. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-117692 provides a conical convex portion on the bottom surface of the central portion of the container lid so that a substantially conical concave portion is formed in the central portion of the ice cream filled in the cup-shaped container. The ice confectionery container is disclosed.

However, in such a conventional ice confectionery container, when the container lid having a convex portion for forming a concave portion in the ice confectionery is removed from the container body, the ice confectionery is frozen in a state of being in close contact with the convex portion. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove the container lid.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-117692

As a solution to this problem, the invention of a molded container for frozen dessert materials described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-26472 has been proposed. According to the present invention, since a spiral step is formed on the outer surface of the lid capable of forming a part of the frozen dessert material contained in the container body, the spiral shape formed on the surface of the frozen dessert material. By rotating the lid along the step, the lid can be smoothly pulled out from the frozen dessert material.

However, in the case of the lid of the frozen dessert material molding container described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-26472, the lid must be removed while rotating along the spiral step formed on the surface of the frozen dessert material. Instead, you need to know how to remove it. In addition, since the frozen dessert is frozen in a state of being in close contact with the outer surface of the lid, simply rotating the lid causes the frozen dessert to rotate together with the lid, and the lid and the frozen dessert are in close contact with each other. The state cannot be released quickly. In order to quickly release the close contact between the lid and the frozen dessert, the lid must be rotated while holding the frozen dessert, but since the frozen dessert is contained in the container body, this cannot be held.

An operation piece for deforming the peripheral wall of the convex portion inward is provided on the peripheral edge of the opening.
The container body may be any container that can accommodate frozen dessert materials such as shaved ice and sherbet and can be elastically deformed, and a tubular container made of synthetic resin or the like may be used.
Further, the molding die is for inserting the downward convex portion into the frozen dessert material housed in the container body to form the concave portion in the frozen dessert material, and is made of a synthetic resin or the like which is hard to break even at a low temperature. It is conceivable to use and configure. The convex portion may be formed as a downward convex portion, and various shapes such as a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, and an inverted conical shape can be considered as the shape of the convex portion.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the operation piece is hung on the upper edge of the container body, and the operation piece and the flange hung on the upper edge of the container body are covered with the molded convex portion. It is characterized in that a positioning means for determining the arrangement position in the container body is formed.
As the positioning means, for example, the flange and the operation piece are formed with a downward convex portion that can come into contact with the inside of the upper edge of the container body, or the outer edge side of the flange and the operation piece is fitted to the upper edge of the container body. It is conceivable that the cross section is formed in a substantially inverted U shape.

The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that a finger hook portion is formed on the operation piece. The finger hooking portion may be any as long as it can be hung with a finger when the operation piece is operated to deform the convex portion inward. For example, the operation piece is provided with a concave portion into which a finger can be inserted. It is conceivable to form a convex portion that can be hooked with a finger.

The invention of claim 4 is characterized in that the lower part of the peripheral wall of the convex portion where the operation piece is provided is formed in an inwardly concave shape.

The invention of claim 5 is characterized in that the lower portion of the peripheral wall of the convex portion where the flange is not formed is formed in a vertical bellows shape.

According to the present invention, in a frozen dessert material container provided with a container body capable of accommodating a frozen dessert material and a molding die for forming a recess in the frozen dessert material housed in the container body, a downward convex portion with an upper opening is provided. Since the flange to be hung on the upper edge of the container body is partially formed on the opening peripheral edge of the convex portion of the molding die provided with the portion, the portion where the flange on the opening peripheral edge of the molding die convex portion is not formed (non-). Since the flange portion) is not regulated by the flange, it can be deformed. Then, since an operation piece for deforming the peripheral wall of the convex portion inward is provided in the non-flange portion, the frozen dessert material is formed by operating the operation piece to deform the convex peripheral peripheral wall of the molding die inward. By forcibly peeling the molding die in close contact with the frozen dessert material from the frozen dessert material, the state of close contact between the molding die and the frozen dessert material can be quickly and easily released.

According to the invention of claim 2, the operation piece is hung on the upper edge of the container body, and the operation piece and the flange hung on the upper edge of the container body have a molded convex portion. Since the positioning means for determining the arrangement position in the container body is formed, when the molding die is fitted into the container body containing the ice cream material, the positioning means is used to make a specific position in the container body. Molded convex portions can be arranged. As a result, the recess can be formed at a specific position of the ice cream material.

According to the invention of claim 3, since a finger hook portion is formed on the operation piece, an operation for deforming the convex peripheral peripheral wall of the molding die inward by performing an operation by hooking a finger on the finger hook portion is performed. The sex can be improved.

According to the invention of claim 4, since the convex peripheral wall below the position where the operation piece is provided is formed in an inward concave shape, the convex peripheral wall of the molding die is deformed inward by operating the operation piece. At the time of making the molding die, the convex peripheral wall of the molding die is easily deformed inward, and the state of close contact between the molding die and the frozen dessert material can be released more quickly and easily.

According to the invention of claim 5, since the peripheral wall of the convex portion below the portion where the flange is not formed (non-flange portion) is formed in a vertical bellows shape, the convex portion of the molding die is operated by operating the operation piece. When the peripheral wall is deformed inward, the movable range of the convex peripheral wall of the molding die inward can be increased, and the state of close contact between the molding die and the frozen dessert material can be surely released.

1 to 4 are diagrams showing an outline of the frozen dessert material container of the present invention.
The frozen dessert material container 1 includes a container body 2 in which a frozen dessert material such as shaved ice or sherbet is housed, and a molding die 3 for forming a recess in the frozen dessert material housed in the container body 2.

The container body 2 is a bottomed container formed in a thin, substantially cylindrical shape using a resin that can be elastically deformed, for example, PP resin, and can accommodate frozen dessert materials such as shaved ice and sherbet. Further, since it is formed to be thin, the body portion can be easily elastically deformed by gripping the body portion and applying a force.

The molding die 3 is formed thinly by using a resin that is hard to break even at a low temperature, for example, a PS resin containing a rubber component, and includes a substantially inverted conical molding convex portion 31 having an upper opening, and an upper opening 32. On the peripheral edge, a flange 33 spanning the upper edge of the container body 2 is formed so as to slightly exceed the half circumference of the peripheral edge of the opening 32. Further, the operation piece 35 is provided so as to be hung on the upper edge of the container body 2 in the portion (non-flange portion) 34 on the periphery of the opening 32 where the flange 33 is not formed.

On the back side of the flange 33 of the molding die 3, three positioning convex portions 331 as positioning means for determining the arrangement position of the molding convex portion 31 in the container body 2 are formed at intervals.
Further, one positioning convex portion 351 is formed on the back side of the operation piece 35 as a positioning means for determining the arrangement position of the molded convex portion 31 in the container body 2, and the peripheral wall of the molded convex portion 31 is formed on the front side. A finger hook convex portion 352, which is a finger hook portion for hanging a finger when deforming inward, is formed.
When the molding die 3 is fitted into the container body 2, the positioning convex portion 331 formed on the flange 33 and the positioning convex portion 351 formed on the operation piece 35 are brought into contact with the inside of the upper edge of the container body 2. By mounting the container body 2 in such a manner, the molded convex portion 31 in the container body 2 can be arranged at a predetermined position.

An inward concave portion 311 is formed on the peripheral wall of the molded convex portion 31 below the position where the operation piece 35 is provided, and a vertical bellows portion is formed on the peripheral wall of the molded convex portion 31 below the non-flange portion 34. 312 is formed.

5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining how to use the frozen dessert material container 1. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the frozen dessert material I is housed in the container body 2 and then the molding die 3 is fitted into the container body 2. FIG. It is a figure which shows the state of peeling from a frozen dessert material I.
As shown in FIG. 5, the frozen dessert material I is frozen in the container body 2 in close contact with the molding die 3.
When the molding die 3 is removed from the container body 2, as shown in FIG. 6, when the finger hook convex portion 352 of the operation piece 35 is pushed inward (in the direction indicated by the arrow) with a finger, the bellows portion 312 of the molding convex portion 31 is deformed. Since it expands inward, the state of close contact with the frozen dessert material I on the peripheral wall portion of the molded convex portion 31 below the non-flange portion 34 can be forcibly released. Then, when the close contact state between the molding convex portion 31 and the frozen dessert material I is partially released in this way, air easily enters between the molding convex portion 31 and the frozen dessert material I, so that the molding mold 3 can be easily performed. Can be peeled off from the frozen dessert material I.
At this time, since the inwardly facing concave portion 311 is formed on the peripheral wall of the molding convex portion 31 below the position where the operation piece 35 is provided , the finger hook convex portion 352 of the operation piece 35 is pushed to push the peripheral wall of the molding convex portion 31. When deforming inward, it can be deformed with a small force.

After removing the molding die 3, anyone can easily make a frozen dessert beverage by loosening the frozen dessert material I having the concave portion formed together with the container body 2 and further injecting and stirring a beverage such as coffee.

7 to 9 are views showing an embodiment (Example 2) in which a pair of operation pieces 35 are provided.
Although the first embodiment has described an example in which one operation piece 35 is provided, the operation pieces 35 may be provided as a pair at opposite positions on the peripheral edge of the opening 32.
That is, in the second embodiment, a pair of flanges 33, 33 and a pair of operation pieces 35, 35, which face each other with the opening 32 interposed therebetween, intersect with each other on the peripheral edge of the opening 32 above the molding die 3 in a cross shape. It is provided in this way and is hung on the upper edge of the container body 2. Positioning convex portions 331 and 331 are formed on the back sides of the pair of flanges 33 and 33, respectively, positioning convex portions 351 and 351 are formed on the back sides of the pair of operation pieces 35 and 35, respectively, and finger hook convex portions 352 are formed on the front side. , 352 are formed.
Other configurations are the same as in the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, when the molding die 3 is removed from the container body 2, as shown in FIG. 9, when the finger hook protrusions 352 and 352 of the operation pieces 35 and 35 are pushed inward (in the direction indicated by the arrow) with a finger, Since the bellows portion 312 of the molded convex portion 31 is deformed and expands inward, the state of close contact with the chilled confectionery material I on the peripheral wall portion of the molded convex portion 31 below the non-flange portion 34 can be forcibly released. , for example, against the thumb on one finger hook protrusion 352 and the other against the middle finger on one finger hook protrusion 352 exerts a force in the inward direction (arrow direction) in the useless picked between the thumb and middle finger, with one hand Not only can the deformation operation be easily performed, but also the mold 3 can be removed from the chilled confectionery material I with one hand. In addition, since the contact state between the molded convex portion 31 and the frozen dessert material I is released at two points, it becomes easier for air to enter between the molded convex portion 31 and the frozen dessert material I, and the frozen dessert material I The peeling of the molding die 3 of the above becomes easier.
