[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a food container used as a lunch box container or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 BACKGROUND ART Containers made of synthetic resin, paper, and the like are known and widely used as containers in which a container body and a lid are connected in a freely openable and closable manner. By the way, when food is stored in these containers and the lids are closed, a rubber band is hung, adhesive tape or staples are used to fasten the container body and the lid. Chopsticks and forks, which are indispensable for eating and drinking, are shrink-wrapped together with the container or given to the customer. As a structure that allows the lid to be fixed without the use of rubber bands or adhesive tape, the container body and lid are provided with concavities and convexities that serve as snap locking parts, and the concave and convex parts are fitted together. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-4932), one in which a notch is formed in the container body or lid, and the other end of this notch is inserted and locked (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-26890), The outer edge of the container body and the lid are formed with engaging edges that engage with each other (for example, JP-B-58-36659), or the flange is formed by overlapping the edge of the container body and the lid. There is known one in which a fixing member is fitted to (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-126978).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In any of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the work of closing the container and the attachment of chopsticks and the like are separate operations, and there is no known technique for performing both at the same time. As a result, there is an accident that sells to customers without chopsticks. In particular, such accidents often occur during the busy hours of lunch box stores.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The food container according to the present invention is a container in which a lid is connected to one side of a container body via a connecting portion so as to be openable and closable, and bar-bar receivers are respectively provided on the outside of the open ends of the container body and the lid. However, by having a structure in which chopsticks, spuns, or forks are inserted between the barbs of the container body and the lid, the chopsticks are involved in closing the container and the leakage of chopsticks and other attachments is prevented. According to a third aspect of the present invention, the bar bar of the container body has a long groove shape so that the seasoning can be stored therein, so that the seasoning conventionally stored with the food in the container body can be stored separately from the food. Is.

[0005]

[Action]

 In this invention, after the food is stored in the container body, the opening is closed by the lid, and then the tableware to be attached such as chopsticks is inserted like a barb into the barb formed on the container body and the lid. , The container is closed. Therefore, since the container cannot be closed without tableware, the chopsticks etc. will not be leaked.

[0006]

【Example】

 In FIG. 1, a lid 3 is connected to one side of a container body 1 via a connecting portion 2 so as to be openable and closable. The container body 1 and the lid body 3 are formed by integrally molding a synthetic resin sheet. An auxiliary plate 4 is connected to an open end of the container body 1 facing the connecting portion 2 and a recess 5 is formed in the auxiliary plate 4 in parallel with the upper end of the open end. The recess 5 has a long groove shape and serves as a bartack, and through holes 6 are provided in both side walls 5a of the recess 5. On the other hand, an auxiliary plate 7 is continuously provided at an open edge of the lid 3 facing the connecting portion 2, and a convex portion 8 that fits into the concave portion 5 is formed on the auxiliary plate 7. The convex portion 8 serves as a bartack, and through holes 9 are provided in both side walls 8a of the convex portion 8. The size and shape of the through holes 6 and 9 should be such that accidental removal of the tableware does not occur, taking into consideration the size and shape of the tableware to be inserted. Food is stored in the container body 1 configured as described above, the lid body 3 is covered, and then the chopsticks 10 are inserted into the through holes 6 and 9 to fix the lid.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the convex portions 8 of the lid body 3 are formed on both sides of the auxiliary plate 7 so that the space 5b is obtained in the central portion of the concave portion 5 of the container body 1 with the lid closed. It is a thing. With this structure, the seasoning 13 can be stored here if necessary.

In the above, if both side edges of the container body 1 and the auxiliary plates 4 and 7 of the lid body 3 are formed as extensions of both side edges of the container body 1 or the lid body 3, the planar shape becomes a square, and the lid is When shrink-wrapped in the closed state, it is easy to wrap and the packaging film is not damaged.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, a plurality of pressing pieces 11 having an arcuate cross-section opened downward are formed at the open end edge of the container body 1 and at the open end edge of the lid body as the bar uptake. A receiving piece 12 having an arcuate cross-section that is open to the outside is formed, and the chopstick 10 is inserted and locked between the pressing piece 11 and the receiving piece 12.

In the above, an example in which chopsticks are used as the bar is shown, but a spun, a fork, a knife or the like other than the chopsticks may be used. Further, the container is not limited to synthetic resin, and paper can be used.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 According to this invention, the lid can be fixed in the closed state by inserting the barbs such as chopsticks into the barbeds provided on both the container body and the lid. Therefore, the work of closing the lid and the work of attaching chopsticks, etc. are integrated, and there is no risk of the chopsticks, etc. being omitted. Moreover, since the container and the chopsticks are already integrated at the time of sale, the work and management at the time of sale can be simplified and the sale time can be shortened.
