Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a spacer for packaging fresh foods such as sashimi.

[Conventional technology]

When selling sashimi in containers (trays), it is required to have good freshness and a beautiful presentation with a sense of volume. When arranging a large volume of sashimi on a tray, the sashimi ends up sticking out from the top of the tray, and if you cover it with a transparent film, the sashimi gets pushed down, making it look bad and losing its freshness.

Previously, a long transparent plastic plate was bent into a chevron shape (inverted V-shape or inverted U-shape) and placed in a tray to maintain the distance between the sashimi and the transparent film to prevent it from coming into close contact with the sashimi. This chevron-shaped transparent plastic plate had poor stability and poor work efficiency.

Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-79557, an auxiliary tool 1 for a packaging container has been proposed in which a storage recess 2 for storing condiments is provided approximately in the center of a vertically elongated synthetic resin plate.

Also, as shown in Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-24265,
A support for film packaging of a food container has been proposed in which a support 2 is erected on a base 1 and a flat film receiver 3 is formed at the top of the support.

Furthermore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-46972, protrusions 3 having vertical grooves 2 for locking both ends of the flexible protective band 4 are provided at the opposing side wall bases of the dish-shaped base 1. , a storage container integrally formed with the dish-shaped base 1 has been proposed.

Also, as shown in Utility Model Publication No. 59-2681,
Steps 11 are provided on both sides of the opposing side walls of the tray 1, and both leg ends 41 of the packaging film stretching and holding bone member 4 are locked to these step portions 11, and the bone member 4 is attached in an arched manner. Food packaging has been proposed.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

If you cover the sashimi with a transparent film while it is sticking out of the tray during serving, the transparent film will adhere to the sashimi and the sashimi will be pressed, resulting in a poor appearance.
There is a problem that the freshness also decreases. Furthermore, the conventional chevron-shaped plastic plate has a problem of poor stability and low work efficiency.

In addition, since the auxiliary device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-79557 is plate-shaped, it is difficult to fix it to the container and is extremely unstable, and the bottom plate and side plate of the container are joined at 90 degrees as shown in Figure 5. However, it can be used for containers where the angle between the bottom plate and the side plate is more than approximately 90°, or the side plate is curved. I can't use it because it doesn't stick. Furthermore, the auxiliary tools must be cut to match the size of the container, resulting in low work efficiency. Furthermore, when food is packaged, a plate-shaped auxiliary device is placed directly above the food, which creates an unfavorable appearance.Also, when the food is stored in a refrigerator, even transparent synthetic resin becomes cloudy, which further impairs the appearance. There is.

Further, the packaging support described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-24265 has a pedestal 1 which is placed at the bottom of the container, so the packaging support must be inserted before food is placed. Therefore, the bottom of the container must be flat, and space at the bottom of the container is also required, resulting in poor workability and the need for a large container, making it uneconomical. There is.

Furthermore, in the storage container described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-46972, the protective band 4 is plate-shaped, so in order to fix it to the container, the projections 3 having the vertical grooves 2 must be provided on both sides as described above. Because it must be
This leads to an increase in costs, and the protective band 4 must be cut to match the size of the container, resulting in low work efficiency. Furthermore, since the structure is such that a long curved protective band is supported at two points facing each other, when food is packaged, the plate-shaped protective band 4 is located directly above the food, resulting in an unfavorable appearance. Furthermore, when displayed in a refrigerated state, even transparent synthetic resin becomes cloudy, resulting in poor visibility.

In addition, in the food package described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-2681, in order to fix the bone member 4 to the container, steps are provided on both sides of the side wall of the tray 1 as described above.
1 must be provided, which leads to an increase in costs.Furthermore, the rib members 4 must be formed in advance to match the size of the tray 1, which also leads to an increase in costs and reduces work efficiency. Furthermore, since the structure supports the curved bone member at two points facing each other, when the food is packaged, the bone member 4 is located directly above the food, resulting in an unfavorable appearance. Even with synthetic resins, there are problems such as clouding and poor visibility.

This invention was developed to solve the above problems, and it can be packed efficiently, quickly, and reliably, regardless of the size or shape of the container, as it is, and is stable without wobbling. The color is good, the appearance is good, and the tray also has a
It is an object of the present invention to provide a spacer for food packaging packs that does not require protrusions with grooves or steps.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the spacing holder for food packaging packs of the present invention is a spacing holder for food packaging packs that wraps food in a tray with a transparent film, as shown in FIGS. In the step, the spacer 2 is made of flexible plastic,
A vertical member 4 is connected to the lower bifurcated portion 3, a film support piece 5 is further provided to the tip of the vertical member 4, and a protrusion 10 is integrally provided on the inner surface of the bifurcated portion 3 to form a hook portion. It is characterized by:

[Effect]

Even if the sashimi etc. protrudes above the height of the side wall 11 of the tray 1 during plating, the spacer 2 can be attached to the side wall 11 of the tray with one touch, or the transparent film 8 can be placed inside the tray to prevent the sashimi from sticking out. Since the transparent film 8 is stretched so as to have a space on the upper side, the transparent film 8 will not be tightly pressed against the sashimi or the like. When attached to the side wall 11 of the tray, the protrusion 10 provided on the inner surface of the bifurcated portion 3 comes into contact with the side wall, so that it can be attached stably and reliably without wobbling.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Reference numeral 2 denotes a spacing holder for food packaging packs of the present invention, which is made of flexible transparent plastic. This spacing holder 2 is integrally formed by having a vertical member 4 connected to a bifurcated portion 3, and further having a film supporting piece 5 connected to the vertical member 4. The bifurcated part 3 of this spacer holder 2 is
as shown, engages the side wall 11 of the tray 1;
Either the tray 1 containing the sashimi 7 etc. is wrapped by pressing the upper surface of the film support piece 5 with the transparent film 8, or
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10, place the bifurcated part 3 of the spacing holder 2 in the tray 1, and press the upper surface of the film supporting piece 5 with the transparent film 8 of the tray 1 containing the sashimi 7. and wrap it. 9 is radish etc. cut into thin pieces. The angle θ between the film supporting piece 5 and the vertical direction is between 0 and 90 degrees, preferably between 20 and 70 degrees, so that when the transparent film is pressed and packed, the angle θ is around 90 degrees. Furthermore, a protrusion 10 is integrally provided on the inner surface of the bifurcated portion 3 to form a hook portion, so that when the spacing retainer 2 is used, it can be attached to the side wall 11 of the tray 1 by the method shown in FIG. without wobbling,
It can be engaged stably and reliably. Note that the tray 1 is made of, for example, styrofoam.

In addition to the spacing holder 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is also a case where the legs of the bifurcated part are split into two, as shown in FIG. 3. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a horizontal film support piece 5a is provided, as shown in FIG. 5, a T-shaped film support piece 5b is provided, and as shown in FIG. 6, a linear vertical member is provided. 4a may be used. Also, in the drawing,
Although the vertical member 4 is plate-shaped, it may also be rod-shaped.

In addition to being used as shown in FIG. 10, the spacer 2 may be provided at both ends of the tray as shown in FIG. 7, in the center of the tray as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, it may be engaged with the side wall 11 of the tray.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the transparent film does not come into close contact with food such as sashimi that has protruded from the tray and press it, which improves the appearance of the food and prevents it from degrading freshness. Nor. In addition, the spacer can be simply engaged with the side wall of the tray or placed inside the tray, so packing operations can be performed quickly and reliably regardless of the size and shape of the tray. In addition, it has good stability and good appearance, and has practical effects such as eliminating the need for protrusions with grooves or steps on the tray.
In addition, since a protrusion is provided on the inner surface of the bifurcated portion to form a hook portion, when engaging with the side wall of the tray, the side wall of the tray is inserted between this protrusion and the other of the bifurcated portion. The effect is that it can be installed stably and reliably without wobbling.
