Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for packaging frozen desserts suitable for so-called ice cream, and more particularly to a method for packaging frozen desserts in which an outer skin such as the innermost skin and a frozen dessert body such as ice cream are separately packed. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, during ice cream, a pair of upper and lower bowl-shaped inner skins formed by kneading rice flour or the like and thinly rolling and baking are filled with a frozen dessert body such as ice cream or sorbet.

During the conventional ice cream, first, a frozen dessert body such as ice cream or sorbet is filled on the inner bottom surface of one of a pair of upper and lower bowl-shaped inner skins, and then the ice cream of the other one is filled. The other innermost skin is superposed concentrically on the inner skin. In addition, the inside of the pair of upper and lower inner skins is filled with ice cream or the like in a sealed bag or the like and refrigerated in a frozen showcase or the like for retail sale.

[0004]

However, in the conventional ice cream, there is a problem that it takes a lot of time and labor to sell the product at a retail store and the cost of selling increases.

That is, in the conventional retailing method such as during ice cream, at a retail store or the like, the frozen dessert body such as ice cream or sorbet is filled in a storage cylinder and refrigerated by a frozen showcase or the like, and the customer purchases the order. When there is, open the open / close door of the frozen showcase and scoop up ice cream etc. with a dipper etc., place it on the inner bottom surface of one of the middle skins, and then further on the other The work of covering the skin is necessary.

For this reason, since such work is carried out at the store, it becomes very complicated especially when a large number of customers are concentrated, and the customers are made to wait for a long time. For this,
In some cases, the number of store staff is increased, but this has the problem of increasing personnel costs.

Further, since ice cream and the like are stored in a storage cylinder and then stored in a freezing showcase or the like, a relatively large freezing showcase is required and a door of the freezing showcase is required every time a customer makes a purchase order. Since it opens, the electric power of the frozen showcase is often wasted.

Further, after almost removing the ice cream or the like from the container for storing the ice cream or the like, the container is washed and filled with new ice cream or the like. Since the rest of the material will adhere, it will be washed off during cleaning. For this reason, there is a drawback that the ice cream is wasted and a work for cleaning the container is required.

Furthermore, when the innermost skin is packed with ice cream or the like in a state of being packed and refrigerated, the innermost skin is immediately wetted by the inner ice cream or the like. In addition to not being able to taste the crispy taste, the inside ice cream etc. oozes out from the inside skin without breaking the inside skin with your teeth and your hands holding the ice inside are dirty There is also the inconvenience that it is difficult to eat.

Further, when ice cream or the like is to be transported, it must be stored in a storage cylinder and kept refrigerated by a freezer container vehicle or the like, which is not always easy to transport.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to make it possible to perform over-the-counter sales work at a retail store or the like easily and quickly and reduce the selling cost. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of packaging frozen dessert, which can improve the taste of the outer skin such as the innermost skin.

[0012]

The present invention is configured as follows in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The invention according to claim 1 of the present application (hereinafter, referred to as the first
In the method for packaging a frozen dessert in which the outer surface of the frozen dessert body such as ice cream or sorbet is covered with an edible outer shell, the frozen dessert body and the outer shell are enclosed in respective openable sealing members. Is characterized by.

The invention according to claim 2 of the present application (hereinafter referred to as the second invention) is characterized in that the frozen dessert is in the middle of ice with the body of the frozen dessert inside.

[0015]

[Function] Since the frozen dessert body such as ice cream and sorbet and the outer skin such as the innermost skin are separately enclosed in the openable bag, the frozen dessert body and the outer skin are packaged in a retail store. It can be sold by simply handing it over to the customer. The customer broke these packages, took out the frozen dessert and the hull, and
By putting your frozen dessert body into the outer skin such as the middle skin with your own hands and forming it while eating ice cream, you can eat the outer skin such as the middle skin without crimping it. The taste of the outer skin such as the middle skin can be enhanced.

Further, according to the present invention, the work of scooping ice cream or the like into the innermost skin by using a dipper or the like in a retail store or the like as in the conventional example can be omitted, so that the selling work in the retail store is simple. And it can be done quickly.

Therefore, since a small number of store staff can deal with a large number of customers, the labor cost can be reduced and the time for waiting the customers can be greatly reduced.

Further, since it is not necessary to refrigerate only the closed bag of ice cream or the like and the closed bag of the outer skin such as the middle skin, the power consumption of the refrigerating device can be saved accordingly.

Further, since the ice cream or the like is refrigerated in a sealed bag or the like and the ice cream or the like is not directly stored in the storage cylinder or the like as in the conventional example, when storing the storage cylinder, the ice cream or the like is stored. It is possible to prevent the remaining ice cream and the like adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder from being washed away and wasted, and it is possible to omit the cleaning operation of the storage cylinder.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the ice cream to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, the ice cream middle 1 is inside the middle skin 2 which is an outer skin, and a frozen dessert body 3 such as ice cream or sorbet. Built in.

The innermost skin 2 is formed by kneading rice flour or the like, thinly rolling it, and baking it to form, for example, a substantially spherical shape, and the bottom portion 2a.
The upper cover 2b and the upper lid 2b divide the upper and lower portions into substantially equal parts.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), the frozen dessert body 3 such as ice cream is formed into, for example, a substantially disk-shaped block, which is then housed in a transparent inner thin container 4 made of resin. Is enclosed in a sealed ice bag 5 made of a resin film such as polystyrene.

The inner container 4 is vertically divided into two parts, that is, a bottomed bowl-shaped bottom portion 4a and an upper lid 4b that covers the opening upper end portion thereof, and the opening upper end portion of the bottom portion 4a is slightly projected outward in the radial direction. And the engaging step portion 4c is integrally formed.
The lower end of the opening of the upper lid 4b is loosely fitted in the c.

Further, the inner container 4 has substantially the entire inner peripheral surface thereof,
A peeling film (not shown) that makes peeling from the frozen dessert body 3 good may be attached.

The ice-sealing bag 5 encloses the inner container 4 containing the frozen dessert body 3 by sealing the upper and lower ends 5a, 5b cut in a wavy shape by, for example, thermocompression bonding. It can be easily opened by tearing by hand or the like in the directions of both ends 5a, 5b.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), the innermost skin 2 is, for example, fitted with an upper lid 2b on the outside of its bottom 2a, and then enclosed in a skin-sealing bag 6 made of a resin film such as polystyrene. Has been done.

This skin sealing bag 6 is also cut into a corrugated shape, and by sealing the upper and lower ends 6a and 6b in the figure by thermocompression bonding, the middle skin 2 can be enclosed, and the corrugated ends 6a in the figure are enclosed. , 6b direction can be easily torn and opened by hand.

As described above, in this embodiment, the innermost skin 2 and the frozen dessert body 3 such as ice cream are enclosed in the openable bags 5 and 6 which can be opened. When selling at a retail store or the like, the ice-sealing bag 5 enclosing the frozen dessert body 3 and the skin enclosing bag 6 enclosing the innermost skin 2 may be simply handed to the customer, and the customer may seal them. The bags 5 and 6 are torn by their own hands to open the bag, and the frozen dessert body 3 is housed in the innermost skin 2 by the procedure described below.

That is, the customer first breaks the ice-sealing bag 5 with his or her own hand, takes out the inner container 4, and turns it upside down. Then, the frozen dessert main body 3 is easily peeled off from the bottom portion 4a of the inner container 4 by the peeling film.
As shown in (A), the frozen dessert body 3 is moved onto the inner surface of the upper lid 4b, and the bottom portion 4a of the inner container body 4 is removed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the upper lid 4b is covered with the bottom portion 2a of the innermost skin 2, which is turned upside down again, and then the upper lid 4b of the inner container 4 is removed. Thereafter, the bottom portion 2a of the innermost skin 2 is covered with the upper lid 2b to form the ice middle portion 1 as shown in FIG. 3 (C).

Therefore, at this time, since the innermost skin 2 comes into contact with the frozen dessert main body 3, it is possible to eat the iced middle 1 while hardly wetting the innermost skin 2. In other words, since the innermost skin 2 can be eaten in a crispy state, the taste of the innermost skin 2 can be enhanced, and the wet middle skin 2 cannot be eaten sufficiently by the teeth, resulting in a frozen dessert. The body 3 can be pushed out from the outer peripheral edge of the innermost skin 2 to prevent the hand holding the innermost skin 2 from being soiled.

Since the customer does not touch the frozen dessert body 3 directly, the frozen dessert body 3 can be housed inside the innermost skin 2 and formed into the iced middle 1 without soiling the hands.

At a retail store or the like where the ice is being processed 1, a series of operations such as scooping ice cream or the like with a dipper or the like can be omitted as in the conventional case, so that the labor cost can be largely saved. Can be reduced.

Further, since the work of scooping ice cream or the like by the dipper can be omitted, the time for opening and closing the opening / closing door of the freezing showcase is extremely short, and the power consumption of the freezing showcase can be saved. Furthermore, since the ice cream or the like is not directly stored in the storage cylinder, it is possible to prevent the waste of the ice cream or the like by washing off the residual ice cream or the like adhering to the inner surface of the storage cylinder when cleaning the storage cylinder. .

Furthermore, since it is not necessary to refrigerate only the ice-sealing bag 5 enclosing the frozen dessert body 3 and the skin enclosing bag 6 enclosing the skin 2 in the middle, the power consumption of the refrigerating device is accordingly increased. Can be saved.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case of the ice middle 1 in which the outer surface of the frozen dessert main body 3 is covered with the pair of innermost skins 2 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the middle. The skin 2 may be replaced with a skin of waffle, crepe, taco or the like, and these various skins are enclosed in respective openable sealed bags to enjoy various variations of these and the frozen dessert body 3. It may be configured as follows.

Further, the ice-sealing bag 5 and the skin-sealing bag 6 may be integrally connected to each other.
A plurality of frozen dessert bodies 3 and the innermost skin 2 may be housed therein.

Furthermore, the ice-sealing bag 5 may be formed by omitting the inner container 4 and directly enclosing the frozen dessert body 3.

[0040]

As described above, according to the present invention, the frozen dessert body such as ice cream and sorbet and the outer skin such as the innermost skin that covers the outer surface thereof are placed in respective openable sealing members such as sealing bags. Since they are each enclosed, retail stores and the like can sell them by simply handing these two types of hermetically sealed bags as a pair to the customer. For this reason, retail stores can skip the conventional work of scooping frozen dessert bodies such as ice cream with a dipper and storing them in the outer skin such as the middle skin. The work can be greatly simplified and speeded up, and the selling cost can be reduced.

Further, according to the present invention, the frozen dessert body such as ice cream is refrigerated in a sealed bag or the like, and the frozen dessert body is not directly stored in the storage cylinder unlike the conventional example. After removing the main body, it is possible to omit the work of cleaning the container, and at the time of cleaning, prevent the waste ice cream and the like remaining on the inner surface of the container from being washed away. be able to.

Further, the customer broke the closed bag containing the frozen dessert body obtained at a retail store or the like and the sealed bag containing the outer skin such as the innermost skin to take out the frozen dessert body and the outer skin, and put the frozen dessert body in the outer skin. It can be stored and eaten immediately, whereby the outer skin can be eaten in a dry crispy state before being wet by the frozen dessert body, and the taste of the outer skin can be enhanced.
