Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The invention is made of heat-resistant material such as aluminum foil,
The present invention relates to a food container for so-called instant cooking in which food is stored in advance and then directly heated and cooked.

[Prior Art] As this type of container, there is a container as shown in FIG. That is, the aluminum foil container 20 is formed in the shape of a frying pan, the rim of the container 20 is hemmed with a wire, and a portion of the rim of the container 20 extends outward from the rim of the container to form a handle 21. The container 20 stores, for example, popcorn material, and when the bottom of the container 20 is heated, an aluminum cover covering the popcorn material expands, allowing the popcorn to be cooked.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in such a container, the wire at the rim of the container becomes hot during heating, and the heat is transferred to the handle 21.
The handle 21 becomes extremely hot. Also,
The handle 21 gets in the way and is inconvenient when the containers are stacked and transported or sold.

In view of these points, it is an object of the present invention to provide a food container whose handle is convenient without being bulky when transporting or selling the container, and whose handle does not become hot during cooking.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the present invention provides a food container in which food is stored in advance in a container made of a heat-resistant material such as aluminum foil, and the food inside is cooked by heating the container. A flange portion was formed on the mouth edge, one end of the handle was pivotally attached to the flange portion, and the shape of the handle was formed to overlap with the flange portion.

[Effect]

One end of the arc-shaped handle is pivotally attached to the flange of the container, and the handle is overlapped on the flange during transportation.
Allow it to rotate outward during cooking. Therefore, it does not get in the way when the container is being transported or sold, and since the flange portion and handle are separate bodies, heat from the edge of the container is less likely to be transmitted during cooking. If the handle is made of a material with poor thermal conductivity, such as heat-resistant plastic, conduction of heat particularly from the flange portion can be effectively prevented.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

1 to 3, a flange portion 2 is formed at the mouth edge of a frying pan-shaped container body 1, and two handle pieces 3a and 3b are attached to this flange portion 2 at a predetermined interval. There is. The handle 3
The opposing proximal ends of a and 3b are pivotally mounted on the flange portion 2 by screws 4, 4, for example, and are formed into a substantially arcuate shape so as to overlap the flange portion 2.

That is, the handle pieces 3a, 3b each consist of arcuate portions a ₁ , b ₁ on the pivot point side and straight portions a ₂ , b ₂ formed on the outside thereof, and the straight portions a ₂ , b ₂ are designed to overlap when the handle pieces 3a and 3b are rotated in opposite directions from the flange portion 2 during cooking. And each handle piece 3
Stopper pieces 5a and 5b are provided on the outside of the joint between the straight line part and the arcuate part of a and 3b, and these stopper pieces 5a and 5b are attached to the flange part when each handle piece 3a and 3b is stacked on the flange part 2. The handle pieces 3a and 3b abut against the outside of the container 2 and rotate toward the inside of the container so as not to interfere with stacking the containers.

Note that the handle pieces 3a and 3b may be made of metal, but if a heat-resistant material with poor thermal conductivity such as heat-resistant plastic is used, the handle pieces 3a and 3b may be made of metal during cooking.
It is possible to effectively prevent parts a and 3b from becoming hot.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the flange portion 2 may be formed by wire rings 6, 6 provided on both sides of the flange portion 2, as in the past, or as shown in FIG. It may also be formed by a ring plate 7. Further, the handle is not necessarily formed of two handle pieces, but may be formed of one arcuate handle piece 8 as shown in FIG. In this case as well, one end thereof is pivotally attached to the flange portion 2 by screws 9, and a stopper piece 10 is also formed.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the flange portion 2 is circular, but the flange portion 2 may be angular or other shapes, and in either case, the handle 3
a and 3b are formed so as to overlap the flange portion 2.

[Effect of idea]

In the present invention, a substantially arc-shaped rotatable handle is attached to the flange of the container separately.
Not only is it handy because it does not interfere with the stacking of containers when transporting or selling the containers, but the handle is separate from the flange part, so it has the effect that the handle does not get hot during cooking.
