Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hermetically sealed container in which foods such as fruit and jelly liquid are filled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known a hermetically sealed container in which a plastic container body is filled with fruit, jelly liquid or the like, and the container body is sealed with a lid member.

Of these, the plastic container body has a container body and a flange portion provided at the upper end opening of the container body, and the packaging container is formed by thermoforming a plastic laminate. It On the other hand, the lid member is heat-sealed to the flange portion of the packaging container.

That is, the lid member is composed of a heat-sealing portion which is heat-sealed to the flange portion of the container body, and a drop lid portion which is connected to the heat seal portion and which falls downward. It is designed to cover the opening.

[0005]

By the way, as described above, a plastic container body is filled with fruit, jelly liquid, etc., and the lid member is heat-sealed on the flange portion to form a sealed container.

The user peels the lid material from the flange portion,
I take out fruits, jelly liquid, etc. from the container body and eat them.
At this time, an additive such as fruit sauce may be poured from another bag into the fruit and jelly liquid in the container body and then eaten.
In such a case, it is convenient that a fruit sauce or the like is incorporated in the sealed container.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above point, and a sealed container in which an additive such as fruit sauce is incorporated in addition to the contents such as fruit and jelly liquid contained in the container body is provided. The purpose is to provide.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a plastic container main body having a flange portion at a peripheral edge of an upper end opening and filled with contents, and a lid member heat-sealed to the flange portion, The lid member is composed of a heat seal portion fused to the flange portion, and a drop lid portion which is continuously provided to the heat seal portion and which falls downward. An inner cup is fixed to the back surface of the drop lid portion, A sealed container characterized by being filled with an additive to be poured into the contents in a cup, and a flanged part at the upper end opening peripheral edge, a plastic container main body filled with the contents, and the flange part being heated. A lid member to be sealed is provided, and the lid member is composed of a heat seal portion fused to the flange portion, and a drop lid portion that is continuously provided to the heat seal portion and that falls downward. A recess is formed drop lid portion, to fill the additive pouring the contents into the recess, a sealed container, characterized in that sealed the recess in the sealing lid.

[0009]

According to the present invention, after the heat-sealing portion of the lid material is peeled off from the flange portion of the container body, the additive in the inner cup or the concave portion is taken out from the front surface or the back surface of the lid material, and the contents in the container body are removed. Pour over things.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of a hermetically sealed container according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view taken along the line II in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sealed container 1
Is constructed by filling a solid fruit 4 and a jelly liquid 5 in a container body 2 and sealing the container body 2 with a lid member 3.

The container body 2 includes a container body 2a and a container body 2
and a flange portion 2b provided on the periphery of the upper end opening of a.

On the other hand, the lid member 3 is the flange portion 2 of the packaging container 2.
The heat-sealing portion 3b is heat-sealed (fused) to b, and the drop lid portion 3a provided inside the heat-sealing portion 3b. The drop lid portion 3a covers the container body portion 2a, and is connected to the heat seal portion 3b via the first step portion 7 and the second step portion 8. Of these, the first step portion 7 is a portion fitted into the inner surface of the packaging container 2.

The lid member 3 corresponds to the shape of the opening of the container body 2 as shown in FIG. 2, and a tab 10 for removing the lid member 3 is attached to one corner of the lid member 3. The lid material may have various shapes such as a square shape, a round shape, and a hexagonal shape according to the container body 2.

An inner cup 11 is fixed to the back surface of the drop lid portion 3a of the lid member 3. That is, the inner cup 11 has a flange portion 11a that is heat-sealed on the back surface of the drop lid portion 3a, and is fixed to the drop lid portion 3a by this flange portion 11a.

A storage bag 12 filled with the fruit sauce 13 may be provided in the inner cup 11.

Next, the material of each of the above constituent members will be described.

The container body 2 is made of polypropylene (P
P) / adhesive layer (AD) / ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) / adhesive layer (AD) / polypropylene (PP) laminate is thermoformed.

On the other hand, the lid member 3 is made of, for example, PP / AD / EVO.
It is obtained by thermoforming a gas barrier laminate of the H / AD / sealant layer. The lid member 3 is heat-sealed with the sealant layer facing the flange portion 2b side of the container body 2. The inner cup 11 is also made of the same material as the lid material 3.

Next, a method of manufacturing the hermetically-sealed container having such a structure will be described.

First, the container main body 2, the lid member 3 and the inner cup 11 having the above-mentioned structure are prepared. Of these, the container body 2 is formed by thermoforming a laminate having the above-mentioned layer structure.

Next, the fruit sauce 13 is filled in the inner cup 11, and then the flange portion 1 of the inner cup 11 is filled.
1a is dropped and heat-sealed on the back surface of the lid portion 3a.

Next, the solid fruit 4 and the jelly liquid 5 are filled in the container body 2. After that, the heat seal portion 3b of the lid member 3 is heat-sealed to the flange portion 2b of the container body 2 to seal the container body 2, and thus the sealed container 1 is obtained.

In this case, the first step portion 7 of the lid member 3 is fitted into the inner surface of the container body 2a of the container body 2.

In use, the user first pulls the tab 10 to peel off the heat seal portion 3b from the flange portion 2b to open the container body 2. After that, the small tab 15 provided on the flange portion 11a of the inner cup 11 is pulled, the flange portion 11a is peeled from the back surface of the dropping lid portion 3a, and the inner cup 11 is dropped and separated from the lid portion 3a. Next, the inner cup 11
And the fruit sauce 13 inside is poured onto the fruit 4 and the jelly liquid 5 in the container body 2.

As described above, according to this embodiment,
Since the inner cup 11 is fixed to the back surface of the drop lid 3a and the fruit sauce 13 is filled in the inner cup 11, the fruit sauce 13 can be integrally stored in the sealed container 1.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in the storage method of the fruit sauce 13, and is substantially the same as the first embodiment.

That is, the dropping lid portion 3a of the lid member 3 is formed with a recess 17 which is pulled in downward, and the recess 17 is filled with the fruit sauce 13. The recess 17 is sealed by a sealing lid 16 which is heat-sealed on the upper surface of the drop lid 3a.

As the sealing lid 16, for example, one having a structure of stretched nylon (ON) / adhesive layer (AD) / ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) / adhesive layer (AD) / sealant layer can be used. ..

In use, the heat seal portion 3b is peeled off from the flange portion 2b to open the container body 2. Next, the tab 16a of the sealing lid 16 is pulled from the dropping lid portion 3a to open the concave portion 17. After that, the fruit sauce 13 in the opened recess 17 is poured into the contents 4 and 5 in the container body 2.

[0032]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to obtain a hermetically sealed container in which the additives are integrally incorporated.
