Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to a food container, in particular, which makes food such as granular confectionery easier to eat according to changes in quantity, and also makes it easier to take out food when the quantity becomes low. The present invention relates to a food container configured to be resistant to spillage.

Conventional technology and problems With conventional bags and box-shaped containers, when the amount of contents decreases, it is necessary to either insert your hand all the way into the container or tilt the container; in the former case, your hands get dirty, and in the latter case, it is easy to spill. There were other problems.

Means for Solving the Problems The above-mentioned problems are solved according to the present invention by providing a pentagonal front wall surrounded by a free edge, a stopper edge, a left side edge, a bottom edge and a right side edge; and a rear wall with a shape and size congruent with the front wall, the stopper edge of the front wall and the stopper edge of the rear wall are connected via the stopper edge, and the left side edge of the front wall and the left side edge of the rear wall are connected to the left side wall. connect the right side edge of the front wall and the right side edge of the rear wall through the right side wall, connect the bottom edge of the front wall and the bottom edge of the rear wall directly or through the bottom wall, and connect the right side edge of the front wall and the right side edge of the rear wall through the right side wall; The solution is provided by a confectionery container characterized in that an opening is formed at each free edge of the wall, the rear wall, the stopper edge and the right side wall.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a container showing one embodiment of the present invention. The container has a front wall 2 and a rear wall 3, the front wall 2 having a pentagonal shape surrounded by a free edge 6, a stop edge 7, a left edge 8, a bottom edge 9 and a right edge 10. However, the rear wall 3 has a geometry congruent with the front wall 2, so that the free edge 6', the stopper edge 7', the left side edge 8', the bottom edge 9' and the right side edge 10 of the rear wall 3 'teeth,
They each have the same length as the corresponding edges 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 of the front wall 2. The stopper edge 7 of the front wall 2 and the stopper edge 7' of the rear wall 3 are connected via the stopper wall 12, and the left side edge 8 of the front wall 2 and the left side edge 8' of the rear wall 3 are connected via the left side wall 5. The right side edge 10 of the front wall 2 and the right side edge 10' of the rear wall 3 are connected via the right side wall 4. The bottom edge 9 of the front wall 2 and the bottom edge 9' of the rear wall 3 may be connected via the bottom wall 1, as shown, or may be directly connected. An opening 11 is formed by the free edge 6 of the front wall 2, the free edge 6' of the rear wall 3, the free edge of the stopper wall 12, and the free edge of the right side wall 4.

In order to ensure that the upper opening 11 is wide enough to make it easy to take out the contents, and to ensure that the contents are well received by the stopper wall 12 and prevented from spilling when the container is tilted, the container is formed as follows. is preferred. That is, (1) the angle A1 between the stopper edges 7, 7' and the left side edges 8, 8', the angle A3 between the left side edges 8, 8' and the bottom edges 9, 9', and the bottom edges 9, 9' and right edge 10,1
The angle A4 formed with 0′ is each larger than 90 degrees,
Angle between stopper edges 7, 7' and free edges 6, 6'
A6 should be within the range of 65 degrees to 108 degrees. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the contents are well received by the stopper wall 12 and that the stopper wall 12 does not get in the way when taking out the contents, the angle A1 is set to 108 degrees or more.
Ideally it should be within 150 degrees.

(2) The length of the left edge 8, 8' is L1, the length of the right edge 10, 1
0' length is L2, stopper edge 7, 7' length is
When expressed as L3, it is preferable to set L1≧L2≧L3, preferably L1>L2>L3, and furthermore, the size of the entire container should be suitable, and the contents should be held by the stopper wall 12. To receive it well, set the stopper edge length L3 to 30mm to 100mm.
It is best to set it to about mm.

Container materials include paper, cardboard, corrugated paper (including single-corrugated cardboard), various synthetic resins such as polyethylene and polystyrene, synthetic resin foams such as polyurethane, and laminates of paper and synthetic resins such as polyester and nylon. It can be composed of objects, etc.

When assembling the container from a folded state,
In order to be easy to fold and to maintain proper shape during assembly, the container is preferably made of paper material with a thickness of approximately 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.

By selecting the above-mentioned material and its thickness, the container can be formed to have shape retention properties, or can be formed to have some degree of flexibility. It is preferable to use corrugated paper or synthetic resin foam material, since this provides insulation and heat retention. The container can also be made of moisture-proof material. Incidentally, instead of forming the container with a moisture-proof material, a moisture-proof film bag having a shape and size that substantially matches the shape and size of the inside of the container may be placed inside the container.

2 and 3 are perspective views showing how the container of the present invention is used. If the container is full of contents (FIG. 2), remove the contents from the upper opening 11 with the bottom wall 1 facing down (either by holding the container or standing it up against the bottom wall 1). In this case, by specifying the shape of the container, the upper opening 11 is ensured to be wide, so that the contents can be taken out easily as in a normal bag container. When the contents become low (FIG. 3), the user changes direction, tilts the stopper wall 12 downward, uses the left side wall 5 as the bottom wall, draws the contents toward the upper opening 11, and receives the contents on the stopper wall 12. In this state, you can take out the remaining contents without spilling them or getting your hands unnecessarily dirty.

Various methods can be used to manufacture the container of the present invention, including removing the lid from a molded box and assembling the container from a folded state.

Effects of the invention Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, by using the two walls separately, the stopper wall acts effectively and prevents the contents from spilling, especially when the content decreases. There is.
