Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention can easily cut relatively soft stored foods such as cakes and eel kabayaki in a container, and can improve the appearance of the stored food. For simple containers

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as one of simple food containers, there is a container in which a bottom plate made of a synthetic resin thin plate is heat-sealed to the bottom surface of a molding frame in which a foamed synthetic resin plate is bent. This container is different from the tray-shaped integrally molded synthetic resin container in that the inner wall surface of the storage part forms a vertical surface so that the storage surface is large, the strength is relatively large, and the appearance of the container is remarkably high. Since it is excellent, it is suitable for storing high-quality lightweight foods.

Above all, when the above-mentioned container is used as a storage container for foods such as cakes and eel broiled, where the surface condition is important, when compared to a tray-shaped synthetic resin container, Due to the existence, the depth of the container can be made arbitrary, so that when the wrapping or the lid is provided, the wrapping material or the lid does not contact the surface of the stored food and the surface condition is damaged. There is no.

On the other hand, in order to diversify and simplify food culture,
There is an increasing need to cut relatively soft stored foods such as cakes and eel kabayaki into arbitrary lengths without removing them from the container.

[0005]

However, in order to cut the stored food such as cakes and eel kabayaki, the food must be taken out of the container and placed on the cutting board and cut. It is troublesome including cleaning. Also, in the case of a container consisting of a frame and a bottom plate, although it is possible to cut the stored food by inserting a knife or knife inside the frame, when trying to cut the stored food into almost the same length, the container It is difficult to divide into equal parts because there is nothing that can be used as a marker for separation. Further, since the food placing portion of the bottom plate is flat, a knife or a kitchen knife must be strongly pressed against the bottom plate to completely separate the food.

The problem to be solved in the present invention is to store a simple container in which a bottom plate made of a synthetic resin thin plate is heat-sealed on the bottom surface of a frame formed of a band plate made of foamed synthetic resin, for storing cakes, eels, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a container structure that facilitates cutting when storing stored food when applied to a container for food.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a simple container for food in which a bottom plate made of a synthetic resin thin plate is heat-sealed to the bottom surface of a frame formed by molding a band plate made of foamed synthetic resin. The present invention is characterized in that a plurality of parallel deep grooves are formed along the matching sides and a mark is provided on the frame body where the deep grooves are formed.

[0008]

In the container of the present invention, when the knife or the knife is inserted into the frame body to cut the stored food while the food is stored in the container, the blade edges of the knife and the kitchen knife face the bottom plate of the container. It facilitates complete separation of the food product by entering deep grooves formed in parallel across the mating sides. Further, the deep groove prevents excess juice, sauce, etc. from flowing into these grooves when the stored items are cooked foods, and a part of the food remains soaked in the juice or sauce. Further, the groove forming member functions as a reinforcing rib for the bottom plate.

The mark provided on the frame body corresponding to the deep groove serves as a mark when the stored food is divided into equal parts or arbitrary sizes.

Further, since the frame is made of foam synthetic resin which is easy to cut, the food can be cut together with the frame.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a storage container for grilled eel, FIG. 2 (a) is a plan view of the same container, and FIG. 2 (b) is the same. A sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 7A, and a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG.

The container 1 comprises a frame body 2 and a bottom plate 3, and the frame body 2 has a thickness of about 3 to 5 mm (in this embodiment, 3.5 mm).
mm) is formed by bending a styrene foam strip into a rectangular shape, and the bottom plate 3 has a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.5 m.
A polystyrene sheet of m (0.4 mm in this embodiment) is vacuum formed and bonded to the lower end surface of the frame body 2 by heat fusion.

The bottom plate 3 has a food placing portion 4, an edge portion 5 along the inner circumference of the frame body 2, and a groove portion 6 between the food placing portion 4 and the edge portion 5.
a to 6d are integrally molded.

The food placing section 4 is flat as a whole and is provided with seven strip grooves 4a at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction.
The groove 4a is a U-shaped groove having a width of about 3 mm and a depth of about 5 mm.

The edge portion 5 along the inner circumference of the frame body 2 has a width of about 3 mm.
Then, a step of about 5 mm is provided between the edge portion 5 and the food placing surface to raise the food placing surface. A concave portion 5a is provided on a long side of the edge portion 5 at a position corresponding to the groove 4a. Further, a mark 2a formed by a shallow recess is provided at the position of the upper end surface of the frame body 2 corresponding to this recess 5a.

Between the food placing portion 4 and the edge portion 5, three sides except one short side have a width of about 5 mm and a depth from the edge portion of about 5 m.
groove portions 6a, 6b, 6c of m, and grooves 6a, 6b on the long side
Is inclined by making the central part in the longitudinal direction slightly deeper than both ends. The groove portion 6d on one short side has a width of about 30 mm and a depth of about 8 mm from the edge portion 5, and the other groove portions 6a, 6b,
Wider and deeper than 6c. Further, the boundaries between the end portions of the groove portions 6a and 6b and the groove portion 6d partition the groove portions 6a and 6b and the groove portion 6d as rising portions 6e having substantially the same height as the edge portion 5.

When the eel kabayaki K is stored in the container 1 constructed as described above as shown by the one-dotted line in FIG. 1, the upper end surface of the frame 2 is higher than the upper surface of the kabayaki K. Even when the container 1 is covered with the frame 2 or wrapped with the wrapping film, the upper surface of the grilled broth K does not touch the lid or the wrapping film. Further, since the sauce that has flowed down from the kabayaki K flows into the groove 4a and the grooves 6a, 6b, 6c of the food placing portion 4, the lower surface of the kabayaki K will not be soaked in the sauce. Furthermore, since the food placing surface is located at a position considerably higher than the lower end of the frame body 2, there is a sense of volume when the kabayaki K inside the container 1 is seen, the appearance of the stored state is improved, and the purchase intention of the customer is increased. Has the effect of increasing.

Furthermore, when slicing a large broth K into a proper size when eating the broth K, a knife is applied with the mark 2a on the upper end face of the frame 2 or the recess 5a of the edge 5 as a mark to form the blade edge. If they are pushed down until they enter the grooves 4a, they can be easily cut into almost the same size.
When the container 1 is tilted toward the groove 6d, the sag accumulated in the groove 4a and the grooves 6a, 6b, 6c flows into the groove 6d, and when the container 1 is returned horizontally, the sag in the groove 6d rises up the rising portion 6e. Since it does not flow over to the groove portions 6a, 6b side, it is possible to attach the sagging inside the groove portion 6d to the cut calcination and eat it.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a castella container.

Like the container 1 of the first embodiment, the container 11 of this embodiment has a bottom plate formed by vacuum-molding a polystyrene sheet on the lower end surface of a frame body 12 formed by bending a styrofoam belt-shaped material into a rectangular shape. 13 is joined by heat fusion.

The bottom plate 13 includes a food placing portion 14 and a frame body 12.
The edge portion 15 along the inner circumference and the groove portion 16 between the food placing portion 14 and the edge portion 15 are integrally molded.

The food placing portion 14 is flat as a whole and is provided with seven line grooves 14a at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction. The groove 14a has a cross section U having a width of about 3 mm and a depth of about 5 mm.
It is a V-shaped groove.

The edge portion 15 along the inner circumference of the frame body 12 has a width of about 3 m.
At m, a step of about 5 mm is provided between the edge portion 15 and the food placing surface to raise the food placing surface. A concave portion 15a is provided on a long side of the edge portion 15 at a position corresponding to the groove 14a. Further, a mark 12a formed by a shallow recess is provided at the position of the upper end surface of the frame 12 corresponding to this recess 15a.

A groove 16 having a width of about 3 mm and a depth of about 5 mm from the edge 5 is provided between the food placing portion 14 and the edge 15.

Also in the case of the container 11 of the present embodiment, as in the case of the container 1 of the first embodiment, the upper end surface of the frame 12 is higher than the upper surface of the housed castella, so that the container 11 is Even if the frame 12 is covered with a lid or wrapped with a wrapping film, the upper surface of the castella does not touch the lid or the wrapping film, and the shape of the castella does not collapse. Further, since the food placement surface is located at a position considerably higher than the lower end of the frame body 12, the castella in the container 11 has a voluminous feel, the stored state looks good, and the customer's willingness to purchase is enhanced. effective.

When eating castella, if the mark 12a on the upper end surface of the frame 12 or the recess 15a of the edge 15 is used as a mark and a knife is pressed down until the cutting edge enters the groove 14a, they are substantially the same. It can be easily cut into pieces.

[0027]

The present invention has the following effects.

(1) Since the lid or the wrapping film does not touch the stored food, the lid or the wrapping film does not become dirty, and the shape of the stored food does not deteriorate, and it has a voluminous appearance. You can maintain a good-looking storage state.

(2) When eating the stored food, if the mark provided on the frame is used as a mark and a knife is applied to cut the food, the food can be easily cut into almost the same size.

(3) When the food to be stored is cooked food, excess juice or sauce is prevented from flowing into the groove formed on the bottom plate to prevent a part of the food from being left in the juice or sauce.
You can maintain a good-looking storage state.
