Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application This invention relates to a food and drink heater for warming food and drinks such as curry, oden, sake, and coffee.

Prior Art As a conventional food and drink heater, an extrusion type quicklime filling container is provided at the bottom of an insulated airtight container, and a storage container is provided above the quicklime filling container to accommodate food containers via a plurality of rods. There is a known method in which quicklime and water are poured into a container for filling quicklime in appropriate amounts in a desired ratio and the container containing food is heated (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57843/1983).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned conventional food and drink heating containers are not only cumbersome as the extruded quicklime filling container must be moved each time to fill the quicklime and water during heating.
When water is poured, the quicklime that reacts with the water and generates heat may come into contact with the hands, which is dangerous, and the user does not know the appropriate ratio of water to quicklime, and heating cannot be done in a place where there is no water. There is also the inconvenience.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a food and drink heating container that can be heated simply and reliably without danger, even in places where there is no water.

Means for Solving the Problems The food and drink heater according to this invention includes a container that has an opening for taking in and taking out the heated food and drinks, and at least the inner surface of the whole is made of aluminum, and a container made of non-woven fabric that is arranged at the bottom of the container. An exothermic agent that is housed in a bag and generates heat by reacting with water, and a support that has a plurality of water and water vapor passage holes and is provided to support the heated food or drink at a position above the exothermic agent in the container. a heated food/drink placed on a support and sealed in a bag; water placed on the heated food/drink and sealed in a bag; It is equipped with a lid that seals the mouth.

Although aluminum cans are generally used as containers, containers made of composite paper with an aluminum foil layer formed on the inner surface may also be used.

As the support, it is possible to use a flat horizontal support, a support in the form of an upside-down bowl, or a support that has a flat part and a plurality of legs extending downward from the periphery of the flat part. . The passage hole may have any shape as long as water and water vapor can pass therethrough.

Heat generating agents include quicklime, calcium oxide, caustic soda, metallic sodium, magnesium chloride,
Iron oxide, etc., is used.

Function: The food and drink heater according to this invention includes a container that has an opening for taking in and taking out heated food and drinks, and at least the inner surface of the whole is made of aluminum, and a container that is placed at the bottom of the container and is housed in a bag made of non-woven fabric. An exothermic agent that generates heat by reacting with water; a support that has a plurality of water and water vapor passage holes and is provided to support the food to be heated at a position above the exothermic agent in the container; Heated food and drink placed on top and sealed in a bag, water placed on top of the heated food and drink and sealed in the bag, and a lid that is removably attached to the container and seals the entrance. Therefore, when it becomes necessary to heat the food or drink in the container, all you have to do is open the lid, break the water-tight bag, and then close it again. Then, the water flowing out of the bag passes through the passage hole of the support, collects at the bottom of the container below the support, and reacts with the exothermic agent through the nonwoven bag. As a result, the heat generated by the exothermic agent heats the water and turns it into steam, which jets out from the passage hole and warms the food and drink inside the bag. At this time, the heat of reaction is reflected from the aluminum inner surface of the container and promotes heating of the food and drink.

Since both the exothermic agent and water are stored in the bag, not only can the appropriate amounts of both be prepared in advance for the heating reaction, but also because the bag in which the exothermic agent is stored is made of non-woven fabric. Even if the exothermic agent is in the form of a fine powder, it will not spill out, while water and steam will surely pass through.

In addition, the exothermic agent is stored in a bag and is shielded by the food and drink to be heated and the support, so there is no direct contact with hands when the heat is generated. Because it exists, heating is possible even in places where there is no water.

Embodiment The implementation of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Example 1 This example is shown in FIG.
The illustrated food/drink heating container includes a can-shaped container 1 which has an opening 1a for heating food and drinks and is made entirely of aluminum, and a can-shaped container 1 which is placed at the bottom of the container 1 and is housed in a bag 4 made of non-woven fabric, and which is placed in a bag 4 made of non-woven fabric. It has an exothermic agent E that generates heat by reaction, and a plurality of water and steam passage holes 2a, and is provided in a horizontal partition shape so as to support the heated food F at a position above the exothermic agent E in the container 1. a heated food/beverage F placed on the support 2 and sealed in a bag 5; and water placed on the heated food/beverage F and sealed in a bag 6. W, and a lid 3 that is removably attached to the container 1 and seals the loading/unloading port 1a.
It is equipped with the following.

Example 2 This example is shown in FIG.
In FIG. 2, the same components as those in Example 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be omitted. This food and drink heater differs from that of Example 1 in the shape of the support 21. That is, the support 21 has the shape of an upside-down bowl, and the lower end of the support 21 is fixed to the bottom wall of the container 1. This support body 21 is also provided with a plurality of water and water vapor passage holes 21a.

Effects of the invention According to the food and drink heater of this invention, when it is necessary to heat the food and drink in the container, it is possible to efficiently heat the food and drink by simply opening the lid, tearing the water-tight bag, and closing it again. I can do it.

Furthermore, since the exothermic agent and water can be prepared in advance in appropriate amounts necessary for the heating reaction, anyone can reliably warm food and drinks.

In addition, the bag in which the exothermic agent is stored is made of non-woven fabric, so even if the exothermic agent is in the form of a fine powder, it will not spill out, and on the other hand, water and steam will pass through, making it an excellent and inexpensive bag for storing exothermic agents. .

In addition, there is no risk of direct hand contact with the exothermic agent when it generates heat, so there is no danger.

Furthermore, since there is a bag with water sealed in advance in the container, it can be heated even in places where there is no water, so the food and drink heater of this invention can be used outdoors or for storage in case of an emergency. It is excellent as.
