Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a food container for hamburgers, sandwiches, various types of bread, rice balls, etc., and more particularly to a food container for packaging.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, various food containers for packaging hamburgers, sandwiches, etc. have been known, and many products have been put into practical use. Among these conventionally known food containers, there are also containers formed by molding a synthetic resin sheet and provided with a lid connected by a hinge portion integrally formed with the container body, for example, for hamburgers, sandwiches, rice balls. It is well known as a packaging container for foodstuffs, etc., and is often sold with food in supermarkets.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventionally known food containers of this type all have a shallow container body, and many food items are arranged side by side in this shallow container body, or even a single hamburger stores them in a comfortable sitting condition. . In order to eat hamburgers, sandwiches, etc. stored in previously known food containers, it was necessary to use tools such as hashish, fork or the like, or to pick food directly from the container and remove it from the container. As a result, there was a problem that tools were required, and there was a problem that hands had to be soiled when the tools were not used.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of these conventional food containers, and an object thereof is a packaging container for hamburgers, breads, sandwiches, rice balls, etc., which is distributed with food. It can be displayed at stores, and when eating the food in the container, open the lid and hold the container body without the need for tools, etc., for example, while walking at a place other than home, on the train, in the car, etc. The purpose is to provide a new food container that can be easily and hygienically eaten during excursions.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the food container of the present invention is a relatively flexible food container with a lid formed by a sheet of a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, and the container body has a deep depth. The container body is provided with a folded opening peripheral portion at the opening, an outward projecting flange is provided at the opening peripheral portion, and a hinge portion is provided continuously to the projecting flange on one side of the container body. It is characterized in that a lid body having a similar depth and having a fitting edge portion which fits over the peripheral edge portion of the opening of the container body is connected and provided.

[0006]

[Action]

 The food container of the present invention does not store hamburgers, various kinds of confectionery breads, sandwiches, etc. in a stable and comfortable form. It is stored in the main body, and in this state approximately half of the hamburger is stored outside the main body of the container. Then, the lid is applied and the lid is closed so as to cover the hamburger that has been exposed to the outside. Therefore, when eating this hamburger, if you open the lid, about half of the hamburger will go out of the container body, and you can eat directly by grasping the container body. Since the container is a relatively flexible one formed by molding a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, it becomes easier to eat by increasing the force of gripping the container from the outside and pushing up the contents.

[0007]

【Example】

 Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. The food container of the present invention is formed by integrally forming a relatively flexible container body and a lid by forming a thin thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet having a thickness of about 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm into a sheet. This sheet may be transparent or colored.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a container body, and for example, in the case of a hamburger container, the hamburger container is formed so deep that about half of it can be accommodated in a standing state. In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes an opening peripheral portion provided at the opening of the container body 1, and the opening peripheral portion 2 is formed by folding back the U-shaped cross section. In the illustrated embodiment, a slight outward step 3 is formed on the upper part of the container body 1, and an opening peripheral portion 2 having a U-shaped cross section is formed by standing up from this step 3 The opening peripheral portion 2 may be formed continuously with the container body 1 without forming the portion 3. Further, an overhanging flange 4 is provided on the outer side of the opening peripheral edge portion 2. A locking recess 6 that is recessed inward is formed in the outer side wall 5 of the opening peripheral edge portion 2 from which the protruding flange 4 projects, and serves as an engaging portion when the lid body described later is closed.

Reference numeral 8 in the drawing denotes a lid body having a deep depth similar to that of the container body 1, and has a fitting edge portion 9 which is fitted over the peripheral edge portion of the opening of the container body 1 and is fitted therein. An overhanging flange 10 similar to the container body is provided on the outer side of the edge portion 9. The fitting edge 9 from which the projecting flange 10 projects is provided with an inward convex portion 11 which engages with the locking concave portion 6 formed in the opening peripheral portion 2 of the container body and serves as an engaging portion.

Reference numeral 7 in the drawing denotes a hinge portion which is provided continuously to the projecting flange 4 on one side of the container body 1 and the projecting flange 10 of the lid body 8. In addition, reference numeral 12 in the figure denotes a protrusion formed on the protruding flange 4 on the side opposite to the hinge portion 7 of the container body 1, and the protruding flange 4 of the container body 1 and the lid body on which the protrusion 12 is located by this protrusion. A space is provided between the overhanging flange 10 and the overhanging flange 10 so that the overhanging flange 10 can be easily gripped when the lid 8 is opened.

As can be seen from FIG. 2, the opening peripheral edge portion 2 of the container body 1 is not configured horizontally when the container body 1 is normally erected, and the hinge portion 7 side is made higher and the opposite side is made lower. As described above, the lid 8 is configured to be lowered frontward so that the lid 8 can be easily opened to any extent and the hamburger or the like which is the content can be easily eaten in the opened state.

In the case of the food container of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, since the container body 1 and the lid 8 are deeply formed by sheet-forming one thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, it is possible to use a hamburger or the like. About one half of the food is placed upright in the container body 1, and the other half is covered with the lid 8 and the lid 8 is closed to form one food package such as a hamburger. Become. Therefore, it can be distributed by this food package and can be displayed as it is at stores such as supermarkets. If the purchaser holds the container body 1 containing the food and opens the lid 8, about half of the food is exposed. Therefore, the purchaser can eat the product hygienically without using the tool while holding the container body. You can After eating half of the exposed food from the container body 1, pressing the container body 1 from the outside makes the container body relatively flexible, so that the remaining food in the container body 1 It is pushed up and exposed, which can also be eaten hygienically.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the present invention, since the container body and the lid are respectively deeply constructed, food items such as hamburgers are stood up and stored, distributed as they are, and displayed at the store. It has the effect that it can be eaten hygienically without using tools or picking it by hand.
