Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is an improvement of a disposable shallow-bottomed dish-shaped simple packaging container without a lid (hereinafter referred to as a packaging tray), which is often used in supermarkets and other places to package fresh foods. Regarding.

This type of shallow-bottomed packaging tray is made of thin-walled semi-rigid, hard, solid-walled, or foamed-walled plastic sheets and is formed into the desired shape by sheet forming methods such as vacuum forming and pressure forming. Mass produced. Some are made from waterproof paper.

After the food to be packaged, such as sashimi, sushi, tempura, and simmered dishes, is neatly arranged and stored on a tray, the entire tray is covered with a stretchy plastic transparent film called ``Lap'', which has moderate self-adhesive properties. Packaging costs are low because the products are tightly wrapped into packages and displayed in large quantities for sale. The packaged items are protected airtight and watertight by the tray and wrap, making it sanitary. Easy to handle. You can easily observe and examine the contents through the wrap. In the case of sashimi or cooked food, if the wrap is removed, the packaged item can be transferred to another container and used as a simple disposable tableware without having to be repacked and served on the table without any discomfort or resistance. In this case, if necessary, the packaged items can be heated in a microwave oven while being housed in the tray. There are various advantages such as.

By the way, since the tray mentioned above has a shallow bottom,
In most cases, when an item is stored, the top surface of the item rises above the opening surface of the tray, or the item is intentionally placed above the opening surface of the tray to create a sense of volume. It is often the case that the tray is packaged in a large heap, and in such cases, when the entire tray is wrapped, the wrap will come into tight contact with the top surface of the packaged items that is raised above the opening surface of the tray. A pressing force acts on the package. Therefore, if the packaged item is soft and easily deformed by pressure, it often causes unnatural deformation or crushing of the packaged item, impairing its appearance and commercial value.

Hitherto, there has been known a support for extending a wrap, which is composed of a base, a support, and a wrap receiver at the upper end of the support (see Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-24265). However, since it is separate from the tray, it takes a lot of work to position and stand it up, and when the wrap is unfolded, it tends to tilt or fall over, resulting in poor work efficiency. In addition, since it is made as a separate member from the tray, there are other problems such as high cost.

On the other hand, if the packaged item is, for example, sashimi or sushi, it is filled with soy sauce, if it is kava-yaki or tempura, it is sauce, or if it is kuzumochi, it is filled with so-called turrebin, which is manufactured by blow molding or the like. A small bottle-shaped container is commonly attached.

The present invention focuses on this turrebin and uses it as a prop for expanding the wrap.In this case, the turrebin is held in a stable upright state and is positioned at the required height as the prop. This tray has been modified to solve the problems of the conventional example.

As a means to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a packaging tray 1 in which an object to be packaged 2 is housed and wrapped in a wrap 3 to form a package, by raising a part of the bottom surface 1a of the tray. A recess 5 is provided on the upper surface of the raised portion 7, and an upwardly directed rib 5 is provided around the recess 5.
is formed, and when the lower part of the turret bin 4 is fitted into the recess 5 and the turret bin is erected, its upper end protrudes above the tray opening surface 6-6 by a height h,
The height of the raised portion 7 and the concave portion 5 are adjusted so that when the wrap 3 covering the packaged item 2 is extended using the tower bin 4 as a support, the above-mentioned height h is formed so that the wrap does not come into contact with the packaged item. This is a packaging container with a set depth.

With the above structure, when the lower part of the turret bin 4 is fitted into the recess 5 of the tray 1, it is positioned by the rib 5' and stands up without tilting or falling down, and its upper end is higher than the tray opening surface 6-6. Projects upward by h. Therefore, the wrap 3 can be easily extended toward the opening edge of the tray 1 using the turret bin 4 as a support. Since it is stretched out like a tent, it does not come into close contact with the packaged item 2 and deform it under pressure, so it maintains the appearance of the packaged item and does not deteriorate the external appearance of the item.

In addition, this type of tray and turret bin are made as a pair according to the items to be packaged.
The turret bin for the tray is always at hand, and by inserting it into the recess 5 of the tray 1, a suitable support for the covering lap is immediately constructed.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a raised part 7 for fitting a round turret bin is provided approximately concentrically at the center of the bottom surface 1a of a round tray 1, and a recessed part 5 on the upper surface thereof.

This example illustrates a case where the amount of sauce for tempura is large, so the bottle 4 is thick and tall, and even if the raised portion 7 is low, the turret bottle 4
This represents the case where the necessary support height h can be obtained by the height H of the recess 5 formed on the upper surface of the ridge 7.
The bottom surface of the tray is substantially the same as the bottom surface 1a of the tray.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which a turbine 4, which is smaller and shorter than the example in FIG. 2, and a tray 1 are combined to obtain the required height h from the opening surface 6-6 of the tray 1. Therefore, the height of the raised portion 7 and the recessed portion 5 on the upper surface of the raised portion 7 are increased to compensate for the shortfall in the height of the turret bin 4.
This is a configuration supplemented by the depth of .

Depending on the item to be packaged, it may be preferable for the wrap 3 to cover the surface of the tray 1 substantially parallel to the surface of the tray 1, as shown in the example in FIG. 5, rather than in the shape of a mountain. For that purpose, FIG. 5 shows a combination of a tray 1 and a turret bin 4, in which a combination of a turret bin 4, a raised part 7 and a recessed part 5 as illustrated in FIG. This is an example of the configuration.

When the tray 1 is larger, two or more turret bin fitting recesses may be provided.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is a configuration example in which a rectangular turret bin 4, a substantially trapezoidal ridge 7 for fitting the turret bin 4, and a recess 5/rib 5' on its upper surface are arranged biased toward one side of the tray 1. show. Reference numeral 8 in the figure indicates a rib surrounding the protrusion 7 at intervals. And the raised part 7,
This is an example of a structure in which the turret bin 4 placed on top of the turret bin 4 is compared to a mountain such as Mt. Fuji, and the concave portion 9 surrounded by the ribs 8 is filled with sauce to resemble a lake or the sea, giving an interesting design.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated round plate shape, but may be any other suitable shape such as a square plate shape or fan shape, and can be applied to all of them. Further, the shape and size of the turret bin can be made appropriate.

With the above configuration, simply by using the turret bin paired with the tray and placing it in the recess on the raised part of the tray, a prop for expanding the wrap is immediately constructed, and its positioning and erection are extremely stable. Because of this, the wrap can be expanded and wrapped quickly and easily. Since the turret bin combined with the tray is used, there is an advantage that there is no uneconomical need to separately prepare a support for expanding the wrap.
