Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a sealed or non-sealed container and a carbonated beverage using the same. More specifically, the present invention provides a container in which other substances can be optionally added to the contents of the container, for example, a beverage such as coffee or a solid or semi-solid food such as jelly or yogurt. This article relates to a container into which liquid, powder, or solid additives such as syrup, carbonated foaming agents, etc. can be added as desired, and a carbonated beverage using the same. (Prior Art) When fast food restaurants sell beverage products such as coffee in open containers made of paper or plastic, the contents of the containers are exposed to dust, dirt, and pests such as pests and insects in the outside air. In order to protect the container from flies, etc., or to prevent the contents from spilling out of the container, the opening of the container is covered with a plastic top II (also called a capping force bar or plastic lid) and the container is handed to the customer. That's what I do. As shown in FIG.
102 is generally provided on the periphery with a bead fitting part 103 that engages with the straw 102, and a cross-shaped or C-shaped notch 104 is made in the center for inserting the straw 105 (Utility Model Publication No. 58-31786). ．． Milk, syrup, etc. are given separately in sealed small containers, which customers open and use. In addition, canned beverages sold at general stores and vending machines are packaged in steel cans, aluminum cans, laminated packs, etc. to seal the contents, and milk, syrup, etc. are added to the beverage in advance. A certain amount is mixed in. Also, for things like carbonated drinks, use glass bottles to prevent carbon dioxide from escaping.
It is sold in steel cans, aluminum cans, or plastic bottles made of plastic container materials with high gas barrier properties. 《The problem that the invention tries to solve! ) However, according to this conventional capping force bar, when milk, syrup, etc. are required for iced coffee or iced tea, the capping force bar must be removed each time to pour into the container, which is cumbersome. Not only that, but there is a risk of spilling the contents when removing the cap force bar. Furthermore, in fast food restaurants, etc., containers for additives such as milk and syrup are small plastic containers of about 5 ml, with the mouth sealed with a laminated seal made of aluminum foil and polyethylene, etc., and the lids are closed. We've all had the experience of getting our fingers or clothes dirty when opening a box. Furthermore, the container after the contents have been used is light and unstable, so if you place it on a table, etc., it will topple over and there is a risk of staining the table, hands, clothes, etc. with the remaining milk or syrup. It is inconvenient to handle. Additionally, in the case of beverage containers such as cans and laminated bags, it is difficult to seal and attach milk, syrup, etc. in a separate container, so it is common for them to be sold with the additives added in advance, and it is difficult for consumers to add them after purchase. Sweetness, bitterness, etc. cannot be adjusted. For this reason, in the case of containers such as cans and laminated bags, for example, when it comes to coffee drinks, individual tastes differ, so it is difficult to create a taste that everyone will like, such as being too sweet or too bitter. There are many complaints. Additionally, in the case of foods such as coffee jelly, milk, syrup, etc. are sold in separate small containers sealed with aluminum laminate lids, which are attached to the main container, making it difficult to handle them after use. What you are doing is the same. Additionally, in the case of carbonated drinks, it is desirable to use plastic bottles that are lightweight and easy to handle, but in order to prevent the bottle from becoming sluggish, it is necessary to use a bottle made of multi-layered plastic film with high gas barrier properties. However, there is a problem that increases the cost significantly. Furthermore, substances that must be mixed immediately before use,
For example, a two-component mixed paint, urethane resin, etc. and a foaming agent,
Containers containing hardening agents, etc., have traditionally been sold in separate cans, making handling inconvenient. Therefore, the present invention allows additives such as liquid additives such as milk and syrup, solid additives such as artificial sweeteners and carbonated foaming agents, powdered milk and granulated sugar, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a small additive container and a capping force bar incorporating the same into which powdered additives, etc. can be poured as desired and the empty container can be disposed of together with the container. do. The present invention also provides a container that allows additives to be added to the contents of the sealed container, specifically, a sealed container that allows additives such as milk, syrup, carbonated foaming agents, etc. to be freely poured into the food or drink in the container according to preference. The purpose is to provide containers. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the container of the present invention contains an additive in a lid member that covers a part of the container, and at least a part of the container can be deformed by applying an external force. A small container for additives is integrally formed, and when the small container for additives is deformed, a part of the small container for additives is pierced to communicate the inside of the small container for additives and the inside of the container. An opening member is provided inside the small container for additives. Further, the container of the present invention has a lid member that constitutes a part of the container integrally formed with a small container for additives that accommodates the additive and is at least partially deformable by applying an external force,
A portion of the small additive container is pre-scored so that it can be torn by the internal pressure when changing the additive container. Further, the container of the present invention accommodates a main body container having an opening for injection of additives sealed with a punctureable sealing material, and an opening member that pierces a part of the container due to the deformation when the container is deformed. a small container for additives, and a part of the container that is pierced by the opening member of the small container for additives and the opening for additives of the main container are arranged on the movement locus of the opening member; The small additive container is attached to the outside of the main container, and the sealing material of the main container is pierced together with a part of the small additive container by an opening member in the small additive container. Further, in the small container for additives of the present invention, at least a part of the container is made of a water-impermeable and air-impermeable thin film, and at least a part of the container is deformed by application of an external force, and the thin film is deformed by the deformation. I'm trying to make it break. Furthermore, in a carbonated beverage using the container of the present invention, a small additive container is provided on the lid of the plastic container, at least a portion of which can be deformed by applying an external force, and a carbon dioxide foaming agent is added to the small additive container. At the same time, the plastic container contains liquid components remaining after removing the components contained in the small container for additives from the carbonated beverage. (Function) Therefore, after fitting the capping force bar into a non-airtight container, for example, a container containing a beverage such as coffee, a semi-solid food such as coffee jelly, or other food or drink, additives such as milk or syrup, powdered milk, etc. When a small additive container containing solid sugar, etc. is pushed from above or from the side, the thin film at the bottom of the additive container is pierced by the opening member or ruptured by internal pressure, and the contents are injected into the container. It will be done. At this time, if the additive is a liquid, especially a relatively highly viscous liquid such as milk or syrup, the additive will drip only when the small additive container is deformed, and the shape of the small additive container will change. When the container is restored and pressure is applied, the dripping stops, and no further dripping occurs unless it is deformed again. Therefore, the amount added can be controlled by the number of times the small container for additives is deformed, and if the small container for additives is formed integrally with the lid of a sealed container, the beverage and additives can be separated. It is sold as a single container in a sealed state during the distribution process, and when the consumer who purchases it drinks or eats it, the small additive container containing the additive of their choice is placed from above or from the side. When crushed, additives can be injected into drinks or foods depending on taste. In addition, when installing the small additive container so that the part that is pierced by the opening member matches the additive injection opening of the separate main container, deforming the small additive container may cause the inside At the same time as a part of the small additive container is pierced by the opening member, the sealing material at the opening on the main container side is also pierced, and the additive in the small additive container is supplied into the main container. In addition, in the case of carbonated beverages, if the additive container is crushed just before drinking, the carbonated foaming agent and other additives can break through a portion of the container and be added to the liquid inside the container. Converts beverages into carbonated drinks. <<Example>> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in the drawings. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment includes a small additive container 1 that seals an additive 23 to be added to a drink (or solid/semi-solid food, etc.) 24 according to preference;
A capping force bar (lid member) 6 that is placed on an open and unsealed container 10 is integrally shaped so that a part of the small additive container 1 is pierced by the deformation of the small additive container 1. It is said to have a structure or material that can be obtained. For example, in order to ensure that a part of the small additive container 1 is broken easily, a part of the small additive container 1 is formed with a thin film 3,
It is preferable to seal the bottom opening 2 by this. A capping force bar 6 and a small container 1 for additives are integrally molded from plastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene, and a water-impermeable and air-impermeable thin film 3 is welded or glued to the bottom opening 2 to contain desired additives. Small container for additives with 23 sealed 1
It consists of At least one small additive container a1 is preferably provided, and preferably a plurality of small containers a1 are provided in correspondence with the contents of the drink.
Note that in this specification, the small additive container 1 and the capping force bar 6 (or the lid member 21, which will be described later) are integrally formed, not only when they are formed integrally from the same material, but also when they are formed separately. The small container for additives 1 is made of a material or structure that can be easily deformed by applying an external force. A part of the small additive container 1 made of plastic is provided with a deformable part 16 that is formed from a bellows, diaphragm, or bellofram structure so that it can be deformed without impairing its sealing performance. Of course, if the material of the small additive container 1 itself can be easily deformed, the deformable portion 16
It does not form. For example, it is not particularly necessary when the entire small additive container 1 is made of a material that has both sealability and flexibility, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or strong aluminum laminate. Further, in this case, the small additive container 1 is welded to the cap force bar 6 by heat sealing or the like. Alternatively, the capping force bar 6 and the small container for additives 1 may be integrally formed by forming the entire capping force bar 6 from a strong aluminum laminate.
A thin laminate film 3 of aluminum foil and polyethylene is thermally welded to the bottom opening 2 of the small container 1 for additives.
The thin film 3 can be made of the same material as the small additive container 1. In this case, in order to make the thin M3 easier to break through with the opening member 12, it is preferable to make it thinner than other parts or to make a cut in advance. The materials of the main body portion (hereinafter referred to as the main body portion) 4 and the thin film 3 of the small container for additives 1 are not limited to those mentioned above, as long as they do not normally harm foods.

However, as described later, the main body portion 4 including the deformed portion 16
It is desirable to use a structure or material with high resilience. In this embodiment, the additive 23 is assumed to be a liquid such as milk or syrup, but is not particularly limited to this, and solid or powdered additives such as powdered milk, granulated sugar, or sugar cubes may be used. It is also possible to contain solid substances such as carbonated foam and carbonated foaming agents. Particularly in the case of powders and solids, it is advantageous in terms of storage stability. As the carbonated foaming agent, for example, a vitamin C foaming soft drink (manufactured by Nippon Oil Co., Ltd., product name: Stylina Sea Lamp) can be used.When providing multiple small container parts 1 for additives, milk and By filling various types of additives 23 such as syrup, it is possible to meet the diverse tastes of an unspecified number of consumers, or by filling the same type of additives, the amount of additives can be adjusted. The adjustment range of the capping force bar 6 can be widened.
A straw insertion port 9 is provided. On the other hand, the capping force bar 6 is made of a known plastic material for lids, such as polypropylene or other plastic material, and has a bead fitting groove 7 on its periphery that fits into a bead part 11 of a container, such as a paper or plastic cup 10.
has. The bead fitting part 7 has, for example, a protrusion that protrudes inward so that it does not easily come off after being fitted into the bead part 11. An opening member 12 that pierces the thin film 3 when deformed is provided in the small additive container 1. In this embodiment, this opening member 12 is the ceiling surface 15 of the small additive container 1.
A protrusion or a solid additive 23 or a liquid or powder additive 23 that is fixed to the additive by adhesion or heat welding or the like and comes into contact with the ceiling surface 15 It is made of a solid material and is positioned slightly above the thin film 3 before deformation so as not to damage the thin film 3. This opening member 12 is made of, for example, a thin plate like the arrow shown in the figure, and breaks through the thin plate [3] when the small additive container 1 is crushed from above. At least one small additive container H1 is provided for each small additive container 1 so as to protrude above the capping force bar 6 or toward the container 10 side. For example, in the case of food products such as drinks or jelly that require milk and syrup, it is preferable to provide two additive containers 1.1 for milk and syrup as shown in phantom lines. According to the small additive container 1 integrally molded with the capping force bar 6 as described above, by covering the container 10 containing a drink 24 such as coffee or a solid food such as coffee jelly with the capping force bar 6, dust can be removed. The product can be delivered to the customer in a state that prevents the intrusion of insects, flies, etc., and also prevents the contents 24 from flowing out. Then, a customer who needs milk and/or syrup 23 crushes the small additive container 1 from above or from the side.
The milk and/or syrup 23 in the additive container 1 can be poured into the container 0. At this time, small container for additives 1
Since only the thin bottom part [3] is opened, a certain amount of the additive 23 will drip out only when the small additive container 1 is pressed, and the shape of the container will be restored and the inside will be in a negative pressure state and the pressure will be balanced. The dripping stops when the liquid is removed. especially. In the case of a viscous liquid additive such as milk or syrup, only when the small additive container 1 is pressed, positive pressure is created inside the small additive container 1, and the additive drips in proportion to the amount. Therefore, if more milk, etc. is required, the milk, etc. can be poured by pressing the small additive container 1 again. That is,
The injection amount of the additive 23 can be controlled. In this case, it is effective to use a structure or material with high shape recovery for the small additive container 1. The small additive container 1 has a capping force bar 6. Container 1O because it is integrally marked with
The remaining additive 23 will not leak unless the container is defeated, and after drinking the contents 24 in the container
In the case of this embodiment, in order to improve the stackability of the capping force bar 6, it is preferable to make the small additive container 1 as wide and thin as possible. It is also possible to use a small container for additives with a deep bottom. Although not shown, the small additive container 1 and the capping force bar 6 are formed separately, and the capping force bar 6rM is provided with an opening or a notch into which the small additive container 1 is inserted. A small additive container 1 may be attached to the opening or notch as necessary. Figures 2 (A), (B), and (C) show examples in which the present invention is applied to sealed containers, such as cans for beverages. For example, like coffee or tea, milk or syrup (
For beverages containing additives such as sugar), additive 23
It is preferable that the drink be sealed in a small additive container 1 separate from the beverage 24 so that the additive 23 can be added according to the drinker's preference. This embodiment is applied to sealed can containers, laminated packs, and so-called one-way bottles made of disposable glass or plastic. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2(A), the airtight container 20 is made of anti-corrosion treated steel or aluminum alloy, and the small additive container 1 is integrated into the Mtle material 21. It has been done. This small container for additives 1 has a main body portion 4 integrally formed with a certain member 21 made of aluminum, plastic, etc., and an opening 2 communicating with the main container 201 is formed with a thin film 3. It is sealed and an opening member 12 is housed therein.

For example, when the small additive container 1 is to be shaped integrally with the lid member 21 made of aluminum, the main body portion 4 is formed with a bellows-shaped deformable portion 16 that can be deformed. Of course, if the M member 21 is made of a flexible material that can be easily deformed, such as plastic, there may be no need for a structurally deformable part. The opening member 12 is, for example, shown in FIG.
As shown in A), it has a cross-shaped planar shape, is formed of a flat plate, and is fixed to the ceiling surface l5 of the small additive container 1.
This opening member 12 is fixed to the ceiling surface 15 of the small container for additives 1 by adhesive or welding, but it is also possible to form it integrally with the small container for additives 1 in advance. In the case of this container 20, an opening 25 that can be opened and closed arbitrarily is required for drinking the contents 24. The opening 25 is typically a so-called pull-top or a laminated foil seal into which a straw or the like can be inserted. In addition, when the small additive container 1 is not formed integrally with the lid member 21, as shown in FIG. Insert the main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 having
9, the flange 4U and the lid member 211- are simultaneously fixed by heat sealing or adhesive, and the 7 flange 4U of the main body portion 4 and the bud member 21 are fixed together. The main body portion 4 of the small container 1 for additives is
The container is made of a food-safe container material that can be pierced by the opening member 12, such as aluminum laminate, polypropylene, polyethylene, or the like.

1119 is made of a water-impermeable and air-impermeable material, preferably a heat-sealable material such as aluminum laminate, has a deformable portion 16, and has the opening member 12 fixed thereto. The main body portion 4 of the small container for additives 1 preferably has gas barrier properties from the viewpoint of preserving the additives, but materials that comply with 1119 may include materials with gas barrier properties such as aluminum, aluminum laminate film, When using PET, etc., gas barrier properties are not required. The main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 only needs to be water-impermeable and rigid enough to be penetrated by the opening member 12, and an expensive container material with high gas barrier properties is not required. For example, the main body part 4 of the small container 1 for additives is made of polyethylene, polypropylene, etc., and the bottom part is provided with a cut or a thin part so that it can be torn by the opening member 12, by solid additives, or by an increase in internal pressure. It is also possible to improve the sealing performance by using a material with gas barrier properties for W19. In addition, when forming the deformed portion 16 in the lid member 21 portion as described later, it is preferable to use a double Ill construction so that the thin film 3 of the small additive container 1 will not be torn due to an accident during transportation. ．． For example, when implementing the present invention in a sealed container 20, in order to prevent the additive small container 1 from being easily deformed during the distribution process, particularly during transportation, etc., as shown in FIG. 2(C).
As shown in the figure, the additive small container 1 is formed to protrude inside the main container 20 (or formed on the lid member 21).
It is preferable that the deformed portion 16 exposed to the outside is covered with a plastic cap force bar or an outer cover 27 that is integrally molded with the main container 20 to form a double lid structure. That is, outside l1
27 and 1121 of 21! Lid member 2 with lid structure and opening inward
A small container for additives 1 is integrally formed on the drinking opening 29, and a thin JI25 for inserting a straw is attached or a pull top is provided on the drinking opening 29. The entire 127 is formed by a simple opening means, such as a wide-mouthed single top. In this case, the main body portion 4 and thin film 3 of the small container for additives 1 do not have to be made of impermeable materials, but may also be made of materials that do not allow the additives 23 to seep out. Note that the present invention is also applicable to the case where the entire container 20 is made of laminated paper. Other embodiments are shown in Figures 3 (A) and (B). This example is applied to a wide mouth so-called one-way bottle.
The container body 20 is usually made of plastic or glass, has a wide opening with the same diameter as the body, and is made of a thin laminate film mainly made of aluminum foil. 6
It is sealed with material 21 and an aluminum cap. In the case of this actual example, this container book #20! The member 21 and the main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 are integrally formed with a laminate film. The opening 2 of the small additive container 1 communicating with the main container 20rM is sealed with a thin film 3. The additive 23 is completely separated from the beverage 24 in the main container 20 by a thin film 13 attached to the opening 2 of the small container 1 for additives. If the main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 is made of a container material with high gas barrier properties (impermeable), a material that does not have high gas barrier properties may be sufficient for the thin film 3. Although not shown,
In the case of this wide-mouth one-way bottle, the small additive container is made into a thin and wide shape, like the small additive container shown in FIG. 4(E), and placed inside the container 20. It is also possible to configure the entire upper lid member 21 with a small additive container l. Furthermore, even in the case of a normal container where the opening of the main container is narrower than the container body, the present invention can be carried out by forming a small container for additives on the entire back side of the top lid, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in (B), an opening 22 is formed in the center of the screw cap 28, and the small additive container 1 made of a material that can be penetrated by the opening member 12 is inserted into the opening 22. It is stuck. The small additive container 1 is composed of a book #4 made of a material such as aluminum laminate that can be penetrated by the opening member 12, and a book #4 having a deformable diaphragm-shaped portion l6. In this case, in order to extend the shelf life of the additive 23 and the contents 24, at least!
It is preferable that the deformed portion 119 and the deformed portion 161 be made of an air-impermeable and water-impermeable material, such as a laminate of aluminum foil and a resin film with high gas barrier properties. Further, the small container for additives 1 is not particularly limited to the structure described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 4(A), the opening member 12 may be separated from the small additive container 1 and housed within the small additive container 1. When the opening member 12, which has the tip of a cone cut diagonally, is accommodated in the small additive container 1, it floats away from the thin film 3 within the additive 23 such as milk, syrup, powdered milk, etc. Therefore, if the container 1 is pushed from above, the opening member 12 will be pushed down and the thin film 3 will be pierced. #Irl like this
j. In this case, the opening member l2 is not particularly limited to being made of the same material as the container material, but may be made of, for example, solid sugar,
The solid additive 23 itself, such as a solid foaming agent, is the opening member 1.
Functions as 2. In this case, the aforementioned opening member 12
There is no need to specifically accommodate. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4(B), an opening member may be used in which a rod 12a is protruded into a truncated cylinder so that the rod 12a pushes down the thin film 3 at the same time as it breaks through the thin film 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(C), the rod-shaped opening member 12 having an arrowhead at the tip and the container 1 may be formed integrally. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(D), a cylindrical opening member 12 with an obliquely beveled tip is fixed to the container ceiling 15 or integrally formed with the container ceiling 15, and the opening member 12 is fixed to the container ceiling 15. It is also possible to form the deformable portion 16 by forming the portion 15 into a diaphragm structure that can be deformed in the axial direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(E), the small additive container 1 may be formed thin and wide, and a triangular plate-shaped opening member 12 may be provided in the center. In this case, the small additive container 1 is made of a flexible material so that the entire container can be deformed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(F), the small additive container 1 may be formed by protruding toward the inward opening of the cap force bar 6 or the lid member 21 of the closed container 20, that is, toward the inside of the container 20. good. In this case, the ceiling part 15 of the small additive container 1, which constitutes a part of the cap force bar 6 or the lid member 21 of the sealed container 20, is made into a deformed part t6 having a diaphragm structure, and the ceiling part 15 is formed with, for example, a cut-shaped opening. The member 12 may also be formed. In this embodiment, the main body portion 4 of the small container for additives 1 is made of plastic or aluminum or steel treated with an anti-rust coating, and the lid member 2
1, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and the main body portion 4 may be formed integrally with a lid member 21 made of aluminum, steel, or the like. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 (G), the opening member 12 is deformed in the vertical direction when force is applied from the side, and the small additive container 1 is crushed from the side. You can also make it break through M3. For example, opening member 1
As shown in the figure, the ring 2 is a diamond-shaped ring that is squeezed from the side so that it extends vertically. Figure 4 (H) shows the state in which the thin film 3 has been pierced.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 4(I) and (J), an opening member 12 is fixed to the side of the thin film 3, and the ceiling part 15 of the small container for additives 1 is
The thin film 3 may be peeled off from the bottom opening 2 of the small additive container 1 by pressing down from above. Note that the opening member 12 may be fixed to the deformable portion 16fl@. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4(K), FIG. 4(A) and (
An opening member 12 as shown in B) may be fixed to the ceiling part 15 of the small container for additives. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(L), a container IC whose entire shape is made of an aluminum laminate thin film is provided inside the main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 that is integrally formed with the M member 21. ,
The additive 23 may be injected into the container 20 by crushing it with an opening member 12 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 4. In this case, the container IC has excellent gas barrier properties and does not need to be sealed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4(M), the entire small additive container 1 may be made of a material that is easily deformable, such as strong aluminum laminate, and the opening member 12 may be fixed or integrally formed therewith. .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(N), it is also possible to use a diaphragm structure deforming part 16 that can deform a part of the container 1, particularly the ceiling part 15, by pushing it down. Such a structure in which the thin film 3 is pierced by pressing down from above is suitable when the I1 member 21 or the capping force bar 6 that supports the small additive container 1 is highly rigid and difficult to bend. For example, it is suitable for forming the sauce member 21 of a closed container 20 made of steel or aluminum. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(0), it is also possible to use a V-shaped band-shaped opening member 12 that exhibits spring properties as a whole. In this case, due to the side deformation of the small additive container 1, the tip of the opening member 12 receives a reaction force from the ceiling 15 and breaks through the thin film 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(P), the small additive container 1 does not need to be entirely made of a single material. for example,
A part of the small container 1 for additives, for example, the lower half 1a, is a can! It is also possible to integrally mold the upper part 1b with the I1 member 21 or the capping force bar 6, form the upper part 1b of an easily deformable material, and integrate it with the I1 member 21 by gluing or welding. ), the main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 having 7 lunges 4U is inserted into the opening 22 bored in the lid member 21 of the main container 20, and the deformed portion 16 is inserted.
Have! 19 may be integrated into the lid member 21 by covering the flange 4U portion and heat-sealing it. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(R), the opening member 12 is not provided in the additive small container 1, and the thin film 3 is filled with tJII.
17 For example, prepare a C-type score in advance,
M3 may be broken by the internal pressure when the small additive container 1 is deformed. In such a case, the inner thin film 3 is not required to have gas barrier properties since the main body portion 4 of the small additive container 1 and the 11 member 21 generally have gas barrier properties. Therefore, Thin 83 can be made of not only aluminum laminate, but also plastic with low gas barrier properties. In the above-described embodiment, the small additive container 1 is formed integrally with the capping force bar 6 or the lid member 21 of the sealed main container 20, but it is formed separately from these, and when in use. It may be possible to integrate them. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, there is a small additive container 1 that seals an additive 23 such as milk or syrup added to a drink, and a beverage container 10.
The small additive container 1 is fitted onto the capping force bar 6 and placed over the beverage container 10, and the small additive container 1 is deformed to remove the additive 23. is provided so that the water flows into the container 10.

Figure 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment includes a main container 50 having an opening 51 for injection of additives sealed with a sealing material 53 that can be pierced, and a small container for additives that can be partially pierced by an opening member 12 or the solid additive contained therein. It consists of a container 1. The additive small container 1 and the main container 50 are a part 52 of the additive small container 1 that is pierced by the opening member 12 and the main container 50.
The additive opening 51 is arranged so as to be aligned on the movement trajectory of the opening member 12, and the additive small container 1 is attached outside the main container 50, and the sealing material 53 of the main container 50
The opening member t2 inside the small container for additives 1 is made to break through together with a part 52 of the small banquet bowl for additives 1. In the main container 50, the lid member 21 is formed lower than the peripheral wall of the container, and a recess 57 for accommodating the small additive container 1 is formed. The M member 21 is provided with an opening 51 for injection of additives, and is sealed with a sealing material 53 such as aluminum laminate. Further, a thin film 55 such as aluminum laminate is adhered to a straw insertion opening 56 for drinking the beverage 24 which is the content of the main container 50, and the straw is sealed. Further, the small container 1 for additives does not need to have a particularly special structure, and various structures described above can be adopted. For example, as shown in the figure, the bottom of the main body portion 4 is made of a structure or material that can be penetrated by an opening member 12, and is sealed with a deformable portion 1119 having a deformable portion 16 that can be deformed in the vertical direction. The small container for additives 1 and the main container 50 are separately subjected to heat sterilization treatment according to the contents to be filled, and then the adhesive 54 is applied.
It is fixed by After that, it is further wrapped in heat-shrinkable plastic film. Also, Figure 8 (B)
As shown in the figure, it is also possible to fix the small additive container 1 and the main container 50 by fitting them together. That is, the main body part 4 of the small banquet holder 1 for additives is attached to the lid member 21 of the main body container 50.
A recess 58 of approximately the same size is formed, and the small additive container 1 is fixed to the main container 50MILS material 21 by fitting the main body portion 4 into the recess 58.
At the bottom of the recess 58 of the lI#ll material 21, an opening fll51 for injecting additives is bored and sealed with a sealing material 53 such as aluminum laminate. And the opening 51
The bottom of the main body portion 4 above is provided so that it can be penetrated by an opening member 12. With a container configured in this manner, additives can be poured as desired in the following manner. When the deformed portion 16 of the small additive container 1 is pressed, the opening member breaks through the sealing material 53 together with the bottom 52 of the main body portion 4, causing the additive 23 to flow into the main container 50. In addition, when a solid substance is stored as the additive 23, since this solid additive functions as an opening member, the additive itself can be used as the part 52 of the small additive container and the opening member 12 is not prepared separately. It is possible to break through the sealing material 53. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the case where liquid additives such as milk or syrup are injected into food containers containing drinks or semi-solid foods has been mainly explained, but other liquids, solids, gases, or It can also be used to seal or contain combined additives or other substances. For example, it can be applied to powdered milk, sugar or solid carbon dioxide foaming materials, as well as non-food products. Furthermore, the paint is placed in the main container, and the curing agent or solvent is sealed in the small container for additives, and just before use, the thin film of the small container for additives is broken and the curing agent or solvent is mixed into the paint. Also good. In this case, after addition, the paint and curing agent can be mixed quickly and uniformly by shaking the container, and then the lid can be opened and used. In addition to sealing items that must be mixed immediately before use as described above, it is also possible to handle items that need to be mixed immediately before use, or items that can be mixed, as a single container in a separately sealed state. You can make it look like this. For example, by sealing the paste paint in the main container and the auxiliary pond paint in the small additive container, and mixing them together, you can change the color of the main paint. For example, the 91st! As shown in FIG. 1, a carbonated beverage 36 from which carbonated beverages and other additives have been removed if necessary is stored in a container body 30, and solidified carbon dioxide tablets 35 are placed in a small additive container 1 as an additive. Just before drinking, the membrane 33 of the small additive container 1 is broken and the foaming agent 35 is introduced into the drinking water 36, so that the drink can be made into a carbonated drink. In this case, there is no need to use a material with high gas barrier properties for the container body 30, and a plastic bottle or the like with low gas barrier properties is sufficient, making it possible to use inexpensive plastic bottles and to use it as a non-carbonated drink according to your preference. You can also drink it. In the case of this embodiment, the small additive container 1 has a thin film 33 that closes the opening 32 of the lid member 31 that seals the container body 30, and a recess (space) for accommodating the solid carbon dioxide tablet. It consists of a deformable main body part 34,! The thin film 33 and the main body portion 34 are bonded around the opening g32 of the I1 member 31 by heat sealing or the like, so that they are integrated with the I1 member 31. In this case, the thin film 33 can be heat-sealed and the solid additive (carbon dioxide tablet) 3
Water-impermeable and impermeable material that can be penetrated by 5.
For example, it is preferable to use aluminum foil or aluminum laminate. Of course, instead of the above-mentioned thin film 33, it is possible to form a scratch such as a score on a part of the main body part 34 surrounding the small container 1 for additives, or to use a weak material for the main body part 34, so that the solid additive It may be possible to break through by 35. The main body portion 34 is made of a flexible material, preferably a material with gas barrier properties, such as a plastic with excellent gas barrier properties such as PET. It is also possible to separate and seal two substances that cause a reaction when mixed together into a main container and a small container for additives. For example, put soymilk in a container, put bittern and necessary solids, etc. in a small container for additives, seal it, and after the consumer purchases it, change the shape of the small container for additives to add bittern, etc. to soymilk. mixed,
It is also possible to make homemade tofu. Although the above-mentioned embodiment is an example of preferred implementation, it is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, although not shown, when a wide-mouth one-way bottle is covered with an aluminum crown-shaped cap with a pull-top opening means, an opening may be formed in a portion of the cap. It is possible to cover it with the thin film described above and form a small container for the additive inside. Further, the materials of the small additive container 1, the opening member 12, the thin film 3 that is broken by the solid additive 35, the sealing material 53 on the main container side, etc. are not particularly limited to those mentioned above, and are not particularly limited to those mentioned above. A suitable material is selected accordingly. (Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above explanation, the container of the present invention is capable of partially deforming the small additive container by crushing it and breaking a part of the small additive container. , additives can be added to the contents in the container as needed. For example, after fitting a capping force bar into an unsealed container containing beverages such as coffee or a container containing semi-solid food such as coffee jelly at a fast food restaurant, additives such as milk or syrup, powdered milk, solid carbon dioxide, etc. If a small additive container containing a foaming agent, etc. is crushed from above or from the side, the thin film at the bottom of the additive container is pierced or ruptured by internal pressure, and the contents are poured into the container. Therefore, additives such as milk and syrup can be poured into the container without opening the cap force bar. Furthermore, even after the additive container is opened, it is attached to the capping force bar or to the container, so it can be disposed of together with the container, making it convenient to handle without getting your hands dirty with additives. Furthermore, since there is no need to remove the cap force bar, the drink contents will not spill out. Moreover, in the case of liquid additives, the inside of the small additive container has a negative pressure, so it will not flow down unless the small container is pushed, so the injection amount can be controlled. Furthermore, if the small additive container and the capping force bar described above are integrally formed, the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced, and since they are a single item, handling during the distribution process becomes easier. In addition, when the additive small container part is integrally formed in the I1 member of the container to be sealed, it can be applied to products that are traded during the distribution process, such as coffee handled in vending machines, etc. It is possible to provide products that meet consumer needs by allowing consumers to freely create sweetness, bitterness, etc. Furthermore, after molding the main container and the additive container separately and sealing the contents in each, the part of the small additive container that is pierced by the opening member is overlapped with the additive injection opening of the main container. When the two are integrated by adhesion or fitting in this way, they can be heat sterilized separately, so it is possible to combine additives and beverages that require different sterilization temperatures. Furthermore, according to a carbonated beverage in which the carbon dioxide gas blowing agent and other additives are removed from the liquid components and stored separately in a small container for additives, there is no need to use a material with high gas barrier properties in the container body. Since a plastic bottle with low gas barrier properties is sufficient, it is possible to use an inexpensive plastic bottle, and it can also be drunk as a non-carbonated drink if desired.
