Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to instant foods that are viscous from the beginning, or instant foods such as dried rice cakes that soften in a short time by adding water or hot water. In this specification, it relates to a packaging container for a viscous instant food (abbreviated as viscous instant food).

[Prior art] Conventional dried mochi is made by storing multiple square or round pieces of about 1 to 2 cm in a single container, and when they are reconstituted with water or hot water, they do not stick to each other. It was something that stuck with me.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above, the present invention provides packaging for viscous instant foods that prevents rice cakes from sticking together when reconstituted with water or hot water and is convenient for storing additives. The main purpose is to identify the container.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a rectangular container body with a plurality of recesses for accommodating at least one piece of viscous instant food, and a lid that supports the lower surface of the recess formed in the lid. The lid, which covers the entire container body with a plurality of convex parts, has a concave part for storing the additives added to the viscous instant food and a transparent part at the bottom to serve as a spout for pouring water or hot water. A recessed portion having a hole is formed, and the depths of both recessed portions are approximately equal, and the height of the space formed by the back surface of the recessed portion being in contact with a supporting protrusion formed on the container body is , the thickness is slightly higher than the thickness of the viscous instant food to be stored, and furthermore, at least one corner of the lid has a raised part that does not touch the top surface of the corner of the container body to drain water or hot water. An outlet is provided, and the viscous instant food is stored in the recess of the container body so that it does not touch the back side of the recess formed in the lid, and when water or hot water is poured, the viscous instant food is stored in the recess of the container body. The food may stick to the back side of the recess formed in the lid, and when the poured water or hot water is drained, the viscous instant food may escape upward due to the back side of the recess formed in the lid. It is characterized by being prevented.

[Function] The viscous instant food to be packaged with the container of the present invention is a food that becomes viscous by adding water (water or hot water), and a specific example is dried rice cake. In addition to conventional dried rice cakes, the rice cakes may be dried rice cakes that can be softened quickly and easily by adding water at room temperature. When these dried rice cakes are softened, they tend to stick to the lid or stick to each other.

Therefore, in the packaging container according to the present invention, a concave portion is formed in the container body to accommodate the viscous instant food (for example, dried rice cake) that becomes viscous when water is added, and the dried rice cake is stored spaced apart from each other to make it soft. This prevents them from sticking to each other during the process, and also allows the support protrusion formed on the container body to come into contact with the back side of the recess formed on the lid, so that the top surface of the stored dried mochi is on the back side of the recess on the lid. It is constructed to prevent it from sticking to the surface.

Therefore, when water or hot water is injected into the recess formed in the lid and having a through hole that serves as a pouring port for water or hot water, the water or hot water will enter the container body and fill it. At this time, the top surface of the dried rice cake to be softened is not pressed against the back surface of the lid, so it softens independently in the recesses formed individually in the container body, and after a certain period of time, it softens at the corner of the lid. When discharging water or hot water through the formed water or hot water outlet, the top surface of the dried mochi is pressed by the back side of the recess formed in the lid, allowing it to escape from the recess in the container body and become flexible. This prevents the cooked rice cakes from sticking to each other, which is not only convenient to eat, but also does not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the arrangement, which is important in stimulating the appetite.

[Examples] Next, details of the present invention will be explained in detail according to examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of one embodiment of the packaging container for viscous instant foods of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view, in which 1.
0 is a container body, and 11 is a concave portion divided into small sections, in which a viscous instant food, such as a dried rice cake 30 that softens with water or hot water, is housed, as shown by phantom lines.

The size and number of recesses 11 are not limited to those shown.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a lid body, which has recesses 22, 22 having openings 21, 21 for supplying water or hot water, a discharge port 23, and a recess 24 for storing additives such as soybean flour, sugar, etc. . Note that this recess 24 can also be used as a plate for eating.

The size and number of the recesses 22, 22 and the recess 24 are not limited, and the opening 21 formed in the recess 22 does not need to be formed in both of the recesses 22, and one may not have an opening. , it may be just a simple recess. In this case, the recess 22 without an opening may not be formed, and the entire recess 24 may be formed.

Moreover, the recess 11 of the container body 10 may be divided by a simple plate-shaped division, instead of relying on the inverted U-shaped protrusion as shown in the figure.

Since the packaging container for viscous instant food of the present invention is constructed as described above, it is stored in a bag and sold in the state shown in FIG. After removing the stored additives, water or hot water is poured through the opening 21, and after a certain period of time has elapsed, the water or hot water is discharged through the discharge port 23. At this time, the lower surfaces of the recesses 22 and 24 of the lid body 20 are in contact with the protrusion 12 formed in the container body 10, and the recess 11 of the container body 10
This prevents the viscous instant food 30 such as dried rice cake stored in the container from falling off. To eat, remove the lid 20 and pour additives such as soybean flour and sugar into the recess 24 of the lid 20 and use the recess 24 as a plate. Sprinkle with rice and eat.

[Effect] Viscous instant foods such as dried rice cakes that become viscous when added with water are individually stored in the recesses divided into small sections of the container body 10, so even when water or hot water is poured back into the food, They do not stick to each other, and the upper surface of the viscous instant food is held down by the bottom surface of the recess formed in the lid, so even if the container is tilted, the stored viscous instant food will not fall apart. Moreover, the concave portion of the lid body can be used as a dish when eating.
