Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a molded container for food, which is used for molding paste-like, highly fluid materials such as fish paste products, and can be used as is as a packaging container for the food. The present invention provides a new molded food container.

Traditionally, well-known kamaboko is made by molding it freely on a base plate without using a molding container, etc., because the baked fish meat used as its material has low fluidity, and there is no risk of the material losing its shape due to flow. A solidified final food product is obtained by heat treatment such as the following.
However, new foods that have arisen in response to changes in dietary habits in recent years, such as those related to the applicant's application (Japanese Patent Application
No. 56-116613) A new fish meat product, i.e., a required proportion of fish meat is added to a mixture of edible oil and water, thoroughly stirred and mixed to form an emulsion, and a small amount of seasoning is added to the emulsion. After addition and mixing, the new food obtained by molding into the desired shape and heat treatment is made from the above-mentioned emulsion as the main ingredient, and has a paste-like appearance with extremely high fluidity. The means are essential.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose is to provide a new container that is suitable for molding food products using fluid materials such as pastes, and that can be used as is as a packaging container for the food products until the time of consumption.

That is, the present invention consists of a combination of a wooden base plate and a frame part that stands on the periphery of the wooden base plate, and the frame part is curved by a band-shaped wooden board, and the lower end extends around the entire periphery of the wooden base plate. The molded food container is characterized in that the ends of the strip-shaped wooden boards form an overlapping part, and the overlapping part and the wooden base plate are temporarily fixed.

An embodiment will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 showing one embodiment. A molded food container 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as the container 1) according to the present invention includes a rectangular wooden base plate 2 and a base plate 2.
It consists of a combination of frame parts 3 that stand upright in the shape of a frame around the periphery of the frame, and are open at the top. The frame portion 3 is a bent wooden board, the lower end of which is in close contact with the entire periphery of the base plate 2, and is erected in a shape that encloses the base plate 2 in a rectangular shape. Both end portions of the wound strip-shaped wooden board have overlapping parts 4 where they overlap slightly,
The lower part of the overlapping portion 4 is temporarily fixed to the base plate 2 by a peg 5 having a bifurcated tip. That is, the frame part 3 is a thin plate material whose inner surface surrounding the base plate 2 is a bare wooden surface, and is a frame body that can be attached and detached by contacting the base plate 2 without any gaps along the periphery of the base plate 2. The structure is such that it is lightly engaged with the base plate 2 by the portion 4. Note that base plate 2
Similar to the traditional kamaboko board, a slightly thicker wooden board is used.

The container 1 described above is used as follows. That is, a base plate 2 corresponding to the desired shape of the food product and a frame 3 in which slight incisions have been made in advance at predetermined positions of the belt-shaped wooden board are prepared in order to facilitate bending, and the belt-shaped wooden board is As shown in FIG. 2, it is wound around the outer periphery of the base plate 2 to form a frame 3, and pegs 5 are driven into the overlapping parts 4 at both ends to assemble the container 1. Then, from the upper opening of the container 1, the fluid food material 6 is
is filled and subjected to heat treatment such as sitting processing,
As shown in FIG. 4, the molded and solidified food 6' is obtained. Immediately after the food 6' is produced, or when it is consumed by an end user after the flow process, the frame 3 is easily disassembled, and the food 6' on the base plate 2 is provided for consumption. That is, when a knife 7 or the like is inserted between the frame 3 and the food 6' as shown by the dotted line in the figure and pulled lightly, the food 6'
and the frame portion 3 are separated. When the tip of a knife or the like is inserted into the gap between the overlapping parts 4, the pegs 5 can be easily removed, and the frame part 3 can be easily removed as it opens outward as shown by the dotted line in the figure.

The container 1 described above has excellent water absorbency because the inner surface of the frame portion 3 is a bare wooden surface, and has the following special effects.
That is, for example, in the above-mentioned novel fish meat products, both the molding material and the heat-treated food product contain a large amount of water, and the water content is qualitatively released over time in the food state. Therefore, if the released water is not removed, the food will spoil prematurely. However, the container 1 having the above structure effectively absorbs and removes the released moisture due to its water absorbing properties, thereby preventing the spoilage phenomenon and significantly improving the shelf life of the food. Furthermore, if container 1 is used as a packaging container by pasting wrapping paper on the opening after food production, it will prevent the semi-solid fish meat products from losing their shape during the flow process and will have the effect of increasing the sense of hygiene. .

In the above configuration of the present invention, the overlapping portion 4 is located on the short side of the base plate 2, for example, and when the pegs 5 are driven in parallel to the wood grain of the base plate 2 and locked, the frame portion 3 is prevented from disassociating. It becomes extremely easy and convenient to handle. It is also possible to use a low-quality material for the frame 3 and attach thin paper to the outer surface, but the attached thin paper and its adhesive must have heat resistance that can withstand the heat treatment of the food,
It is necessary to have water resistance so that it does not easily peel off due to moisture absorbed by the frame portion 3.

On the other hand, the container 1 of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments; for example, the base plate 2 may have a circular, oval, or polygonal shape, and the target foods include foods that are not subjected to heat treatment, such as "yokan" (yokan), etc. Alternatively, it can be used for a wide range of foods other than fish meat products, such as "castella".
