Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Corrected) [Purpose] Regarding a container for instant food that requires hot water discharge after pouring. [Structure] The container lid body 2 and the container body 1 are in close contact with each other at predetermined distances along both sides of the peripheral edge portion 4 sandwiching a hot water discharge hole 3 provided in the peripheral edge portion 4 of the container lid body 2. By forming the finger pressing portion 5 having the portion 6 to be formed, when the hot water 11 poured into the container body 1 is discharged, it occurs between the peripheral portion 4 of the container lid body 2 and the peripheral portion 4 of the container body 1. The hot water 11 flowing through the gap 8 is blocked by the contact portion 6 of the finger pressing portion 5, and the heat conduction to the finger pressing portion 5 is significantly reduced, and the heat of the finger 12 tip holding the container lid body 2 is increased. It is characterized by drastically reducing.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for instant food that requires hot water discharge after pouring.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in the case of an instant food container that requires hot water to be discharged after pouring, in order to discharge the hot water without removing the container lid body from the body of the container when the hot water is drained, an optional peripheral portion of the lid body is used. It was held by pressing the appropriate points with fingers. Alternatively, there is one in which a plurality of small projections are provided at predetermined positions on the peripheral edge portion of the lid body, and the portions are held by being pressed by fingers.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional structure, when the hot water is discharged, the hot water poured into the container body is discharged through the gap generated between the peripheral portion of the container lid body and the peripheral portion of the container main body. The peripheral edge of the container lid is heated by hot water, and the finger pressing the peripheral edge of the container lid becomes very hot, which may make it difficult to hold the container lid and may cause burns on the finger. This invention was made to solve the above problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is to provide a container for an instant food that needs to be drained after pouring the molten metal along both sides of a peripheral edge portion of a lid portion of a container lid body. A finger pressing portion having a portion where the container body and the container lid body are in close contact is formed at a position separated by a predetermined distance.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the container of the instant food is composed of a removable container lid body 2 and a container body 1, and is joined by a fixing portion 7 provided on the outer periphery of a peripheral edge portion 4. It is shaped to When cooking instant food, remove the container lid body 2 from the container body 1, pour hot water into the container body 1 containing the instant food 10, and let the container lid body 2 engage with the container body 1 for a predetermined time. After the elapse of time, the procedure is such that the hot water 11 is discharged from the hot water discharge hole 3 while holding the finger pressing portion 5 with the finger 12 so that the container lid body 2 does not come off from the container body 1.

Here, when hot water is discharged from the container of the instant food, a part of the hot water 11 discharged flows through the gap 8 of the peripheral edge portion 4, so that the peripheral edge portion 4 is heated to a high temperature by the hot water 11 passing through. Therefore, it becomes very difficult for the finger 12 to heat and hold the peripheral edge portion 4 with the finger 12 so as to continue to hold it. However, in the finger pressing portion 5, the hot water 11 flowing through the gap 8 is blocked by the contact portion 6, so that the finger pressing portion 5 is not heated by the hot water 11 and the finger pressing portion 5 is easily touched. It becomes possible to hold down by pressing 12 and continue to hold.

The installation position of the finger pressing portion 5 can be set as appropriate as long as it is on a peripheral portion 4 and is a cylindrical place where it is easy to hold the container lid body 2 during drainage of hot water during cooking. If it is too close to, hot water 11 discharged through the gap 8 is unfavorable because its flow is obstructed and the hot water discharge rate is reduced. Regarding the size of the finger pressing portion, if the finger pressing portion is too small, the fingers 12 stick out from the finger pressing portion 5 and touch the peripheral edge portion 4, or the contact portion 6 becomes small, so that the hot water 11 cannot be cut off, which is not preferable. . On the other hand, if it is too large, the area of the contact portion 6 becomes large, so that the pressure for contacting becomes small and the hot water 11 cannot be sufficiently blocked, or the reaction force generated for contacting becomes large and the fixing portion 7 is burdened. It is difficult to remove the container lid body 2 accidentally, or when the container lid bodies 2 are stacked and transported, the container lid bodies 2 get stuck in each other, making it difficult for them to come off and reducing the productivity in the manufacturing process. The problem occurs. Therefore, the position and size of the finger pressing unit 5 need to be set appropriately according to the size and shape of the container.

Regarding the shape of the contact portion 6 of the finger pressing portion 5, the container lid body 2 does not necessarily have to be concave as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, and the container lid body 2 and the container body 1 are The container body 1 may be formed in a convex shape so that the container body 1 and the container body 1 are in close contact with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of small protrusions 9 for reducing the contact area with the finger 12 are provided on the upper surface of the finger pressing portion 5 to further enhance the effect.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the instant food container of the present invention can prevent the finger pressing portion from becoming hot when the hot water poured into the container body is discharged, and the heat of the fingertip can be drastically reduced. For this reason, unlike the conventional case, the finger holding the container lid body does not become hot and difficult to hold, so that the container lid body can be firmly pressed by the finger, and the hot water can be discharged with confidence. Further, it is possible to further enhance the effect by using a plurality of protrusions, which is a conventional technique in combination. Therefore, the container of the present invention can be widely applied to instant foods, etc. as a container that can safely discharge hot water poured into the container body without causing pain or discomfort due to heat.
