Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The invention relates to bags for sealing foods, medicines, etc., and in particular, bags that contain cooked foods and are heated as they are in boiling water or steam. It is suitable for use in so-called retort food, etc., where the food can be eaten by itself.

(Prior Art) It is well known that the retort food described above is commercially available. Cooked food is packed into a special pressure- and heat-resistant bag, the area around it, or at least the opening that was left open for the filling, is sealed and the bag is heated and sterilized at high temperature and pressure.

When eating this, put the whole bag in boiling water or steam.
Just warm it up for a few minutes. Because it is extremely easy to use, it is used in a variety of foods.

By the way, for example, when you warm it with boiling water, there is a problem when you take it out of the boiling water. Until now, no measures had been taken to remove it.
Since you can't put your hands into the boiling water, chopsticks are generally used, but since the bag is large and the contents are heavy, it may be difficult to remove it.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a sealed bag (hereinafter simply referred to as a bag) that can be easily removed from hot oil or the like.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) Therefore, the present invention forms a band connected to the bag inside the outer periphery of the sealing part that seals the bag, and when heated with hot water or steam, etc. The feature is that it can be kept as a ring.

Specifically, a first notch is provided inside one outer peripheral edge from both side edges of the sealing part toward the center,
At that time, a part of the band is left uncut to form a connecting part so that it does not separate from the main body, and a first notch is made from the outer periphery of the band on both sides of the connecting part formed by the first cut. In the band on the other side, a second notch is formed from the first notch toward the outer peripheral edge, leaving only a portion of the first notch.

(Function) As described above, in the bag of the present invention, a band is formed in a part of the sealing part by the first cut so that the belt does not separate from the bag body due to the connecting part. Moreover,
Second cuts are formed at both end portions along the longitudinal direction of the band, and the directions of the second cuts are different for the bands on both sides of the connecting portion.
Therefore, by bringing the ends of both bands together and interlocking the second cuts, the band can be kept in a looped state.

Bags for this type of food are formed into a flat shape. For example, when warming a bag with boiling water, the bag must be placed on the bottom of the pot to ensure uniform heating. Also, to avoid wasting energy, it is common to fill the pot with water so that the entire bag is barely submerged when placed on the bottom.

A band that is partially connected to the bag is formed in the sealing part, and it is made into a ring, so the upper end of the ring (with the bag lying down) and the tip of the intersection where the second cut engages. is higher than the surface of the bag. Therefore, if the amount of water is set as above, the upper end of the ring will be above the hot water. In other words, after heating is complete, you can easily take it out by pinching the part that is above the hot water.

Also, if you put too much water into the pot unnecessarily and the ring made by the obi and the tip of the intersection above it get into the hot water,
Since the bag of the present invention is formed with a ring, a stick-shaped object such as chopsticks can be inserted into the ring to lift the bag.

Furthermore, even when the bag is heated with steam, the ring is formed so that the bag can be removed from the steam pot using the ring without having to hold the entire bag.

In any case, the bag of the present invention can be easily, safely and reliably removed from hot water or steam.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bag 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a sealing portion 2 is formed around the periphery using a heat-resistant and pressure-resistant sheet to seal the food inside. As shown in the figure, the book bag 1 is rectangular and its entire periphery is sealed to form a sealing portion 2, but there is no particular restriction on the shape. For example, a bag may be used in which an opening is previously provided at one location, and only that opening may be sealed. Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the material.

One side part 2a of the sealing part 2 described above is made wider than the other part, and first cuts 3, 3 are made there from both sides of the bag 1.
is included. These cuts 3, 3 are on one side 2
They are placed along the outer circumferential edge 2b in a substantially straight line so that bands 4, 4 are formed inside the outer circumferential edge 2b of a, that is, between the outer circumferential edge 2b and the inner circumferential edge 2c. Further, the notches 3, 3 leave a part (connection part) 5 uncut so that the bands 4, 4 on both sides thereof are connected to the bag body.

In the bag 1 of this embodiment, the connecting portion 5 is located approximately in the middle of one side portion 2a of the sealing portion 2 as shown in the figure, but it is not limited to this position. If the notches 3, 3 are provided on both sides of the connecting portion 5, they may be located closer to one side of the side portion 2a of the sealing portion.

The bag 1 of this embodiment is rectangular, and the notches 3, 3 are formed on one side 2a of the short side of the peripheral sealing part 2, but of course they may be formed on the long side. If the bag 1 is likely to swell due to a large item being placed in the bag, it is desirable to provide this cut in the sealing portion on the long side. If the bag is not rectangular, a sealing portion of an appropriate length may be used to form the bands 4, 4. Moreover, a sealing part especially for making the bands 4, 4 may be provided separately.

Second cuts 6, 6 are formed at each longitudinal end of the bands 4, 4 formed by the cuts 3, 3. The cuts 6, 6 are formed such that one band 4 is formed from the first cut 3 side toward the outer circumferential edge 2b, and the other band 4 is formed from the outer circumferential edge 2b side toward the first cut 3 side. Note that the degree of incision is not that both ends of the bands 4, 4 are cut off, but only a partial incision is made. It is optional whether one of the ends of the bands 4, 4 is cut from the cut 3 side, and the second
It is only necessary that the cuts 6, 6 are made from different directions. In addition, this second notch 6,
It is desirable that the formation position of 6 be symmetrical with respect to the connecting part 5, but it may be shifted. It goes without saying that when the position of the connecting portion 5 itself is shifted to one side, the second notches 6, 6 cannot be provided in symmetrical positions.

In this specification, the first incisions 3, 3 and the second
Cuts 6 and 6 are referred to as "cuts" as mentioned above, but this includes not only the literal meaning, but also perforations that can be cut along the lines by hand. It includes everything that exists.

When heating the bag 1, lift both ends of the bands 4, 4 and engage the second notches 6, 6, as shown in FIG. This engagement holds the bands 4, 4 in a looped state. Tips 4a, 4a beyond the intersection of the rings further protrude. Therefore, when the bag 1 is placed in enough hot water to soak only its main body, the upper end of the ring and the tips 4a, 4a protrude from the surface of the hot water. Therefore, after finishing, you can grab that part and pull it up.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the sealed bag of the present invention has bands formed in the sealing part on both sides of the connecting part connected to the bag main body, and a first part that engages both ends with the tip of the band. Since the bag has two notches, the band can be tied into a ring when the bag is in use. After warming, the bag can be easily, safely and securely wrapped in boiling water or It can be extracted from the steam.
