Description

本発明は、弁当容器に関し、特に紙製の外箱に、温め用食材と、温めない食材とをそれぞれ別の容器に収納した上で見栄え良く並べて収納し、プラスチック材料の使用量を抑制しつつ使い勝手の良い弁当容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a lunch box container, particularly in an outer box made of paper, in which foods to be warmed and foods not to be warmed are stored in separate containers and arranged side by side with good appearance, while suppressing the amount of plastic material used. To provide a convenient lunch container.

弁当容器は目的や使い方に応じて非常に多様の形態が考案され実用化されている。弁当容器は個人が日常持ち歩いて繰返し使用する個人用の弁当容器と、飲食店や食品加工メーカーなどが提供し、宅配や持ち帰りなどのために使用される使い捨て型の弁当容器に大別することができる。
使い捨て型の弁当容器の場合、樹脂シートをプレス加工したり、樹脂材料を射出成型したりするなど樹脂材料が使用されることが一般的である。こうした加工方法では金型を製作すれば様々な収容部を備えた形状の弁当容器でも安定して量産ができ、弁当容器を比較的安価に製造することができる。
Bento containers have been devised and put into practical use in a wide variety of forms depending on the purpose and usage. Bento containers can be broadly divided into individual bento containers that individuals carry around and use repeatedly, and disposable bento containers that are provided by restaurants and food processing manufacturers and used for home delivery or takeout. can.
In the case of a disposable lunch box container, it is common to use a resin material such as by pressing a resin sheet or injection molding a resin material. With such a processing method, if a metal mold is manufactured, it is possible to stably mass-produce bento lunch containers having various shapes of accommodating portions, and to manufacture bento lunch containers at a relatively low cost.

特許文献1は、使い捨て型のプラスチック製食品包装容器の事例であり、特許文献1には仕切りリブで複数の区画室に区画された容器本体と容器本体の開口全体にかぶさる蓋体とからなる食品包装容器が記載されている。 Patent Document 1 is an example of a disposable plastic food packaging container, and Patent Document 1 describes a container body divided into a plurality of compartments by partition ribs and a lid covering the entire opening of the container body. A packaging container is described.

特許文献2もプラスチック製の弁当容器の事例であり、特許文献2には内部に複数の収納スペースを設けた容器本体と容器本体を施蓋する蓋体とを備えた合成樹脂製の弁当箱用容器において、収納スペース内にさらに密封用の補助容器を備える弁当容器が記載されている。 Patent document 2 is also an example of a lunch box made of plastic. Patent document 2 describes a synthetic resin lunch box provided with a container body having a plurality of storage spaces inside and a lid covering the container body. Among the containers, a lunch container is described which further comprises an auxiliary container for sealing within the storage space.

特許文献1、2に記載の発明における容器は、ともに容器本体と蓋の全てが樹脂材料で形成されており、使い終わって廃棄されるとプラスチックごみとなるものであることから環境負荷の要因となり得るものである。またこうしたプラスチック製の容器は液体が浸透しないため、多様な総菜を収容するのに好適である一方、水蒸気も抜けにくく、ご飯などを温かいうちに収容すると蒸れが発生しやすいという課題もある。更にいずれの容器もご飯などの主要な食材は、容器本体に直接収容することになり、食材の中に、温める方が好ましい食材と、温めるのが好ましくない食材が混在する場合、たとえ収容部を分けて収容したとしても分離して温めるのは手間がかかるという課題もある。
そこで、プラスチック材料の使用を抑制し、食材の蒸れが発生しにくく温める食材のみを簡単に温められるような弁当容器の提供が望まれる。
In the containers according to the inventions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, both the container body and the lid are all made of a resin material, and when they are discarded after use, they become plastic waste, which causes an environmental load. It is what you get. In addition, since liquid does not permeate these plastic containers, they are suitable for storing a variety of side dishes. Furthermore, in any container, the main food such as rice is directly stored in the container body. Even if they are stored separately, there is also the problem that it takes time and effort to separate and warm them.
Therefore, it is desired to provide a lunch box container that reduces the use of plastic materials, prevents the food from getting stuffy, and allows the food to be heated to be easily heated.

次に、本発明に係る弁当容器を実施するための形態の具体例を、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施形態による弁当容器の全体構成を概略的に示す断面図である。
図1を参照すると、本発明の実施形態による弁当容器1は、紙製の外箱10の中に温め用食材を収容する第1容器30、温めない食材を収容する第2容器40、第2容器40を浮かせて支持する枠体50、及び箸などの付属物60を備える。
Next, specific examples of the form for carrying out the lunch box container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the overall configuration of a lunch box container according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a lunch box container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first container 30 for storing foods to be warmed in an outer box 10 made of paper, a second container 40 for storing foods not to be heated, and a second container 40 for storing foods to be warmed. A frame 50 for floating and supporting the container 40 and an accessory 60 such as chopsticks are provided.

第1容器30は、いずれも紙製の第1容器の本体31と第1容器の蓋32とで構成され、第1容器の本体31は、実施形態では底面よりも上面開口部が広い、上下を反転した四角垂台の形状を備える。この形状はあくまでも一つの実施形態であって、底面と上面開口部が同一の大きさの直方体形状であってもよい。 The first container 30 is composed of a first container body 31 and a first container lid 32, both of which are made of paper. It has the shape of a square table that is inverted. This shape is just one embodiment, and a rectangular parallelepiped shape having the same size of the bottom and top openings may be used.

第1容器の本体31は、中にご飯や焼き肉などの温め用食材を収容するものであり、第1容器の蓋32と共に外箱10から個別に取り出して、そのまま電子レンジで加熱して中の食材を温めることができるように、耐水性、耐油性及び耐熱性を有する紙により形成される。食品用の紙に耐水性、耐油性及び耐熱性を持たせる手法には、フィルムのラミネート、フッ素樹脂加工、紙そのものの繊維密度の向上など様々な方法が実用化されているが、第1容器30に使用する紙は、食品用として上記の様な特性が得られればどのような処理の紙でも構わない。 The main body 31 of the first container accommodates food for warming such as rice and grilled meat inside. It is made of water-, oil-, and heat-resistant paper so that food can be warmed. Various methods such as film lamination, fluororesin processing, and improvement of the fiber density of the paper itself have been put into practical use as techniques for imparting water resistance, oil resistance, and heat resistance to food paper. The paper used for 30 may be any kind of processed paper as long as the above characteristics are obtained for food.

実施形態では、ご飯の上に一緒に温めるための主菜を並べる形で提供するため、第1容器の本体31の内部に区切り部分は設けていないが、複数種の主菜を混ざらないように区分して詰める場合は、第1容器の本体31の中に、第1容器の本体31と同じ材質の紙で仕切り板を立てて、第1容器の本体31の内部を複数の空間に区切ってもよい。 In the embodiment, since the main dishes to be warmed together are provided on top of the rice, no partition is provided inside the main body 31 of the first container. In the case of separately packing, a partition plate made of paper made of the same material as the main body 31 of the first container is erected in the main body 31 of the first container to partition the interior of the main body 31 of the first container into a plurality of spaces. good too.

第1容器の蓋32は、第1容器の本体31の上から被せるように構成され、第1容器の本体31上面の開口部を上から覆う四角形の天面34と、天面34の各辺から下方の第1容器の本体31側に折り曲げる折り曲げ部35とを備える。4つの折り曲げ部35の内、1つの折り曲げ部35には、折り曲げた状態で下端から天面34に向かう切込みが2つ設けられ、2つの切り込みの間の部分のみを上方に折り上げるかそのまま折り返し、第1容器の蓋32を開けやすくする摘み部33として使用する。第1容器の蓋32は、温め用食材と直接接触するものではないが、温め用食材から立ち上る湯気や電子レンジによる温め処理中に飛び散る油分などにさらされる可能性があるため、第1容器の本体31と同様に、耐水性、耐油性及び耐熱性を有する紙を使用する。第1容器の蓋32は、第1容器の本体31の上から被せるように使用し、第1容器の蓋32の密閉性は高くないので、温かい食材を詰めても湯気などの水分は第1容器30内にこもりにくい。 The lid 32 of the first container is configured to cover the main body 31 of the first container, and has a rectangular top surface 34 covering the opening of the top surface of the main body 31 of the first container from above, and each side of the top surface 34. and a bending portion 35 that is bent from the bottom toward the main body 31 side of the first container. One of the four folding parts 35 is provided with two cuts directed from the lower end to the top surface 34 in the folded state, and only the part between the two cuts is folded upward or folded as it is. , as a knob 33 that facilitates opening the lid 32 of the first container. The lid 32 of the first container does not come into direct contact with the warming food, but it may be exposed to steam rising from the warming food or oil that scatters during the heating process in the microwave oven. As with the main body 31, water-, oil-, and heat-resistant paper is used. The lid 32 of the first container is used so as to cover the main body 31 of the first container, and the sealing property of the lid 32 of the first container is not high. It is difficult to stay inside the container 30 .

第2容器40は、温めない食材を収容するための容器であり、第2容器の本体41と第2容器の蓋42とで構成される。
第2容器の本体41は、複数の温めない食材を互いに混ざらないように提供するため、複数の収容部44を備える。一実施形態では複数の収容部44は大きさの異なる4つが設けられる。また4つの収容部44の内、上部開口面積の小さい2つの収容部44と上部開口面積の大きい2つの収容部44とでは収容部44の深さも異なるように形成される。
The second container 40 is a container for storing foods that are not to be heated, and is composed of a second container main body 41 and a second container lid 42 .
The body 41 of the second container comprises a plurality of receptacles 44 for providing a plurality of refrigerated foodstuffs that do not mix with one another. In one embodiment, the plurality of accommodating portions 44 is provided with four different sizes. Further, among the four housing portions 44, the two housing portions 44 having a small upper opening area and the two housing portions 44 having a large upper opening area are formed to have different depths.

収容部44の数、それぞれの収容部44の大きさや深さは特に制約がなく、収容部44は4つより多くても少なくてもよいし、収容部44の深さも同じでもよいし収容部44ごとに異なってもよい。但し、実施形態では最も深い収容部44であっても、第1容器の本体31の厚さ分より深くはしない。 There are no particular restrictions on the number of storage portions 44 and the size and depth of each storage portion 44. The number of storage portions 44 may be more or less than four, and the depth of storage portions 44 may be the same. 44 may be different. However, in the embodiment, even the deepest accommodating portion 44 is not made deeper than the thickness of the main body 31 of the first container.

このように収容部44を分けるのは汁気のある食材が、他の食材に汁気が回ってしまう影響を防ぐ役割の他、香りの強い食材の香りが他の食材に移ってしまうのを防ぐ役割も果たせる。そのため第2容器の蓋42も第2容器の本体41の収容部44の区分に合わせ、それぞれの収容部44を、適切に蓋をするように第2容器の本体41の収容部44に合わせた形状として形成される。具体的には、図1に示すように第2容器の蓋42は外周付近には第2容器の本体41の凹部に嵌合するように突起する部分が形成され、収容部44を区切る境界となる隔壁の部分では隔壁の部分を挟み込むように突起部が設けられる。実施形態では第2容器の蓋42はある程度の密閉性を有するように、第2容器の本体41に圧入するように組み合わせる。 The compartments 44 are divided in this way, in addition to preventing the influence of juicy foodstuffs from circulating in other foodstuffs, and also preventing the scent of strong-scented foodstuffs from transferring to other foodstuffs. It can also play a preventative role. Therefore, the lid 42 of the second container is also aligned with the section of the storage section 44 of the main body 41 of the second container, and each storage section 44 is aligned with the storage section 44 of the main body 41 of the second container so as to properly cover. Formed as a shape. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the lid 42 of the second container has a protruding portion formed in the vicinity of the outer circumference thereof so as to fit into the concave portion of the main body 41 of the second container, and serves as a boundary separating the accommodating portion 44 . A protrusion is provided so as to sandwich the partition wall portion. In the embodiment, the lid 42 of the second container is press-fitted into the main body 41 of the second container so as to have a certain degree of airtightness.

第2容器の本体41と第2容器の蓋42は、複雑な形状となるため、実施形態では、第2容器の本体41と第2容器の蓋42とは、中身が見えるように透明なポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)樹脂を使用してプレス加工にて成形する。成形の際、第2容器の本体41及び第2容器の蓋42には支持したり取り扱いやすくしたりする為、外周にフランジ部43が形成される。ここに示した成形に使用する樹脂や加工方法は一つの実施形態であって、必要な形状や機能が得られれば、材料や加工方法はこれに限らない。 Since the main body 41 of the second container and the lid 42 of the second container have a complicated shape, in the embodiment, the main body 41 of the second container and the lid 42 of the second container are made of transparent polyethylene so that the contents can be seen. Molded by press working using terephthalate (PET) resin. A flange portion 43 is formed on the outer periphery of the main body 41 of the second container and the lid 42 of the second container in order to support and facilitate handling during molding. The resin used for molding and the processing method shown here are one embodiment, and the material and processing method are not limited to these as long as the required shape and function can be obtained.

第2容器の蓋42は、第2容器の本体41に嵌合するように被せられ、第2容器の本体41から取り外しにくくなるおそれがあるため、第2容器の蓋42の一部は、摘み部45として外周からはみ出すように形成される。 The lid 42 of the second container is put on the main body 41 of the second container so as to fit thereon, and there is a risk that it may be difficult to remove from the main body 41 of the second container. The portion 45 is formed so as to protrude from the outer periphery.

枠体50は、外箱10の中で第1容器30に隣接して配置され、第1容器30の収容位置を画定すると共に第2容器40を支持する。枠体50は、紙製で四角い管状に形成され、上面に第2容器の本体41を挿入する開口部51を備え、開口部51周辺でフランジ部43を支持して第2容器の本体41の上端部が第1容器30と同等の高さとなるよう第2容器40を浮かせて支持する。 The frame 50 is arranged adjacent to the first container 30 within the outer box 10 , defines the housing position of the first container 30 and supports the second container 40 . The frame 50 is made of paper and formed in a square tubular shape, and has an opening 51 on the upper surface thereof into which the main body 41 of the second container is inserted. The second container 40 is floated and supported such that the upper end is at the same height as the first container 30 .

前述のように第2容器の本体41の収容部44は、収容部44によって深さが異なることがあり、その場合外箱10の中に直接載置すると、第2容器の本体41が傾いてしまうことになる。枠体50は、開口部51周辺でフランジ部43を支持するため、収容部44によって深さが異なっていても、第2容器の本体41を水平に支持することができる。また、第2容器の本体41の収容部44全体が比較的浅い場合でも、枠体50の高さを第1容器30の高さと略合わせることで第1容器30と第2容器40とを並べて見栄え良く収納することができる。 As described above, the depth of the storage portion 44 of the main body 41 of the second container may vary depending on the storage portion 44. In this case, if the main body 41 of the second container is placed directly in the outer case 10, the main body 41 of the second container may tilt. I will put it away. Since the frame 50 supports the flange portion 43 around the opening 51 , it can horizontally support the main body 41 of the second container even if the depths of the housing portions 44 are different. In addition, even when the entire accommodating portion 44 of the main body 41 of the second container is relatively shallow, the first container 30 and the second container 40 can be arranged side by side by substantially matching the height of the frame 50 with the height of the first container 30. It looks nice and can be stored.

図1に示すように、第2容器40は、第1容器30から離隔すると共に収容部44が空中に浮いた状態で収納されることから、たとえ第1容器30に温かいままのご飯や主菜を収容したとしても、第1容器30の内容物からの熱の影響を受けにくい構造となっている。また、第2容器40の底部と外箱10との間に空間があることを利用して、この空間に保冷剤などを載置して、第2容器40内の食材の温度上昇を抑制するような使い方をしてもよい。枠体50は第1容器30の使用材料である紙と異なり、第2容器40が支持できれば、それ以上の特性は求められないが、保冷剤などを使用する場合は結露などの影響を受けるため枠体50を形成する紙は耐水性のあるものを使用する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the second container 40 is separated from the first container 30 and stored with the storage portion 44 floating in the air. , the structure is such that it is less likely to be affected by heat from the contents of the first container 30 . In addition, using the space between the bottom of the second container 40 and the outer box 10, a cooling agent or the like is placed in this space to suppress the temperature rise of the food in the second container 40. You can use it like this. Unlike paper, which is the material used for the first container 30, the frame 50 is not required to have more characteristics as long as it can support the second container 40. However, if a cooling agent or the like is used, the frame 50 is affected by condensation and the like. Water-resistant paper is used for forming the frame 50 .

付属物60は食材を供するための箸などを含む。付属物60としては、この他に電子レンジで温め処理を行うための説明書、エプロン、添えだれ、お手拭き、楊枝などが挙げられる。一実施形態では、食後に口臭が発生しやすい食材を含む場合、口臭を抑制したり、口の中を爽やかにしたりするためのガム又はタブレットなど口臭ケア製品を含む。食材によっては箸の代わりに、又は箸に加えてスプーンやフォークなどを備えてもよい。付属物60は上記のものをすべて含む必要はなく、弁当容器1に収容する食材に応じて適宜組み合わせて第1容器30及び第2容器40の上に載置する。付属物60が上記複数の物品の組み合わせとする場合、これら複数の物品を1袋に纏めてから収納してもよいし、個別に収納してもよい。 Appendages 60 include chopsticks and the like for serving foodstuffs. The attachments 60 may also include a manual for heating in a microwave oven, an apron, a side sauce, a towel, a toothpick, and the like. In one embodiment, when foods that tend to cause bad breath after eating are included, a bad breath care product such as a gum or tablet is included to control bad breath or freshen the mouth. Depending on the ingredients, a spoon or fork may be provided instead of or in addition to chopsticks. The attachments 60 do not need to include all of the above items, and are placed on the first container 30 and the second container 40 in an appropriate combination according to the foodstuffs to be accommodated in the lunch container 1 . When the accessory 60 is a combination of the plurality of items described above, the plurality of items may be put together in one bag and then stored, or may be stored individually.

外箱10は、外箱の本体11と外箱の蓋20とを含み、外箱の本体11は内部に収容する第1容器30及び枠体50に支持された第2容器40の高さより、少なくとも付属物60を載置するのに必要な高さ分だけ高く形成され、外箱の蓋20が浮き上がることなく被せられる。外箱の本体11に、第1容器30、枠体50に支持された第2容器40、及び付属物60を収納後、外箱の蓋20をかぶせた後は、図示しない彩色を施した輪ゴムを外箱の蓋20の1つの角部に引掛けてから外箱の本体11の底面を廻り込み、外箱の蓋20の1つの角部の対角上にある他の角部に引掛けて外箱の本体11と外箱の蓋20とを固定する。これにより弁当として完成する。 The outer box 10 includes a main body 11 of the outer box and a lid 20 of the outer box. It is formed at least as high as the height required to place the accessory 60, and the lid 20 of the outer box is covered without lifting. After housing the first container 30, the second container 40 supported by the frame 50, and the accessory 60 in the main body 11 of the outer box, and then covering the lid 20 of the outer box, a colored rubber band (not shown) is hooked on one corner of the outer box lid 20, then wraps around the bottom surface of the outer box body 11 and hooks on the other diagonal corner of one corner of the outer box lid 20. to fix the main body 11 of the outer box and the lid 20 of the outer box. This completes the bento box.

図2は、本発明の実施形態による弁当容器の第1及び第2容器の収納状態を概略的に示す平面図である。
図2を参照すると、外箱の本体11の中に、第1容器30と枠体50に支持された第2容器40とが並べて収納される。図2は、第1容器30と第2容器40とにそれぞれ第1容器の蓋32、第2容器の蓋42により蓋をした状態を示す。
FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically showing the accommodation state of the first and second containers of the lunch container according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, a first container 30 and a second container 40 supported by a frame 50 are housed side by side in the main body 11 of the outer box. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the first container 30 and the second container 40 are covered with the first container lid 32 and the second container lid 42, respectively.

第1容器の蓋32は、第1容器の本体31の開口部を覆う天面34と天面34の外周4辺からそれぞれ個別に第1容器の本体31側に折れ曲がる折り曲げ部35とを備えるが、図2の中では右辺に示すように、4辺の内の1辺の折り曲げ部35には、2つの切込みが入れられて折り曲げ部35が3つに分割され、その内の真ん中の部分のみが第1容器の本体31と反対方向である上方に向けて折り曲げられる。この上方に折り曲げられた部分が摘み部33となる。図2では、摘み部33が更に天面34に向けて折り返された状態を示す。 The lid 32 of the first container includes a top surface 34 that covers the opening of the main body 31 of the first container, and bending portions 35 that individually bend from four sides of the outer periphery of the top surface 34 toward the main body 31 of the first container. , as shown on the right side in FIG. 2, two cuts are made in the folded portion 35 on one of the four sides to divide the folded portion 35 into three, and only the middle portion is folded upwards in a direction opposite to the body 31 of the first container. This upwardly bent portion serves as the knob portion 33 . FIG. 2 shows a state in which the knob portion 33 is further folded toward the top surface 34 .

第2容器の蓋42は第2容器の本体41の収容部44の形状と配置に合わせて、それぞれの収容部44に蓋をするような形状に形成される。図2の実施形態では、縦長の2つの収容部44とそれよりも短い2つの収容部44からなる4つの収容部44に対応するように凹凸が形成された状態を示す。第2容器の蓋42の外周部には第2容器の本体41のフランジ部43と重なるようにフランジ部43が形成され、これらフランジ部43が枠体50の開口部51周辺で支持されることにより、第2容器40は底面が浮いた状態で支持される。 The lid 42 of the second container is formed in such a shape as to cover the respective accommodating portions 44 according to the shape and arrangement of the accommodating portions 44 of the main body 41 of the second container. The embodiment of FIG. 2 shows a state in which unevenness is formed so as to correspond to four accommodating portions 44 including two elongated accommodating portions 44 and two shorter accommodating portions 44 . A flange portion 43 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the lid 42 of the second container so as to overlap the flange portion 43 of the main body 41 of the second container, and these flange portions 43 are supported around the opening 51 of the frame 50. Thus, the second container 40 is supported with its bottom surface floating.

図2の中では第2容器の蓋42の右辺下方に示すように、フランジ部43からさらに外周に突出するように摘み部45が形成される。実施形態では摘み部45には摘み易いようにローレット目が施される。第2容器の蓋42は収容部44の食材の汁気や香りが漏れ出にくいように圧入する形で第2容器の本体41に取り付けるため、摘み部45は第2容器の蓋42を取り外しやすくするものである。また、摘み部45は第1容器30側に重畳するように突出するので、第1容器30の後から第2容器40を収納することにより、第1容器の本体31に被せただけの第1容器の蓋32を浮き上がらないように抑える役割も果たす。 As shown in FIG. 2 below the right side of the lid 42 of the second container, a knob portion 45 is formed so as to protrude from the flange portion 43 to the outer periphery. In the embodiment, the knob portion 45 is knurled so that it can be easily picked. Since the lid 42 of the second container is attached to the main body 41 of the second container in such a manner that it is press-fitted so that the juice and flavor of the ingredients in the storage portion 44 do not easily leak out, the knob portion 45 makes it easy to remove the lid 42 of the second container. It is something to do. Further, since the knob portion 45 protrudes so as to overlap with the first container 30 side, by storing the second container 40 from behind the first container 30, the first container 40 which is only covered with the main body 31 of the first container can be opened. It also serves to keep the lid 32 of the container from floating.

更に、第1容器30の摘み部33と第2容器40の摘み部45とは、第1容器30と第2容器40とを予め定められた向きに正しく配置したときに同一の方向にある1辺に設けられるため、両摘み部(33、45)の向きをそろえるように収納することで収納する容器の向きの間違いを防止する役割も果たす。図2の実施形態では両摘み部(33、45)がともに右辺に来るように収納するのが正しい配置である。 Furthermore, the knob portion 33 of the first container 30 and the knob portion 45 of the second container 40 are oriented in the same direction when the first container 30 and the second container 40 are correctly arranged in a predetermined orientation. Since it is provided on the side, it also serves to prevent the direction of the container to be stored from being mistaken by arranging the direction of both knobs (33, 45) in the same direction. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the correct arrangement is to store both knobs (33, 45) on the right side.

図3は、本発明の実施形態による弁当容器の枠体の形状を示す斜視図である。
図3を参照すると、枠体50は四角い管状に形成され、上面には開口部51が設けられる。実施形態では開口部51は1辺側に偏った位置に設けられる。このため開口部51に第2容器の本体41を挿入したときに、3辺では開口部51の周辺の上面で面状に、偏った1辺では側壁の頂点で直線状に第2容器の本体41のフランジ部43を支持する。このようにすることにより第2容器40の摘み部45が第1容器30側に突出する状態を実現する。
図3では奥側と手前側の2辺と左側の1辺の3辺に枠の上面が残るように開口する実施形態を示したが、他の実施形態では、左側の1辺も右側の辺と同様に枠の上面を残さないように開口してもよい。この場合、開口は同じ大きさとして枠体50の幅を第2容器の本体41と合わせるようにすることで上記と同様第2容器40の摘み部45が第1容器30側に突出する状態を実現することができる。
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the shape of the frame of the lunch container according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, the frame 50 is formed in a square tubular shape, and an opening 51 is provided on the upper surface. In the embodiment, the opening 51 is provided at a position biased toward one side. For this reason, when the main body 41 of the second container is inserted into the opening 51, the main body of the second container is flattened on the upper surface around the opening 51 on three sides, and linearly on the vertex of the side wall on one biased side. It supports the flange portion 43 of 41 . By doing so, a state in which the knob portion 45 of the second container 40 protrudes toward the first container 30 is realized.
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the top surface of the frame is left open on three sides, two sides on the back side and the front side, and one side on the left side, but in other embodiments, the left side is also the right side. You may open so that the upper surface of a frame may not be left similarly to . In this case, the width of the frame 50 is made to match the width of the main body 41 of the second container with the opening having the same size. can be realized.

At least three side portions of the bent portions 21 adjacent to each other in the bent state are joined to each other at joint portions 22 . Further, the folding portion 21 adjacent to and joined to the folding portion 21 to be folded is provided with a folding line 23 for folding at least one folding portion 21 among the four folding portions 21 .

折り目23は、外箱の蓋20の内側から見て谷折り線、外側から見て山折れ線となるように形成される。図4に示す実施形態では上下の辺に示す折り曲げ部21が折り畳めるように構成され、そのため左右の辺に示す折り曲げ部21にそれぞれ折り目23が形成される。上辺に示す折り曲げ部21は一方の側面は接合部22で接合されているが、他方の側面は切り欠かれており接合されていない。そのため下辺の折り曲げ部21より容易に折り畳むことができる。 The crease 23 is formed so as to form a valley fold line when viewed from the inside of the outer box lid 20 and a mountain fold line when viewed from the outside. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the bent portions 21 shown on the upper and lower sides are configured to be foldable, so that fold lines 23 are formed in the bent portions 21 shown on the left and right sides, respectively. One side surface of the bent portion 21 shown on the upper side is joined by a joint portion 22, but the other side surface is cut out and is not joined. Therefore, it can be folded more easily than the folding portion 21 on the lower side.

折り畳んだ折り曲げ部21は外箱の本体11の下に潜り込ませやすい。そこで外箱の蓋20を開けた後、1辺の折り曲げ部21を折り畳んで外箱の本体11の下に重ねることで、狭い場所でも外箱の蓋20の置き場に困ることがない。また1辺の折り曲げ部21を折り畳むことにより、外箱の本体11とは少しずらした状態でも重ね合わせることができるので、ずらした部分の外箱の蓋20に、添えだれの空き容器や箸袋など食事中には不要となるものを一時的に置くこともできる。 The folded bent part 21 can be easily slipped under the main body 11 of the outer box. Therefore, after the lid 20 of the outer box is opened, one side of the bent part 21 is folded and placed under the main body 11 of the outer box, so that there is no trouble in placing the lid 20 of the outer box even in a narrow place. In addition, by folding the bent portion 21 on one side, it is possible to overlap the main body 11 of the outer box even in a slightly shifted state, so that the lid 20 of the outer box in the shifted portion can be used as an empty container or chopstick bag. It is also possible to temporarily place items that are not needed during meals.
