[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a food packaging container, and more particularly to a food packaging container adapted to simultaneously contain other foods such as side foods and seasonings added for the main food to be stored.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, a large number of containers for food packaging have been proposed in various forms made of synthetic resin, and there are many containers that match the form and type of food to be stored. There is. And, for example, many containers for food packaging have been proposed in which a plurality of storage recesses are integrally formed in order to separately store a plurality of types of foods, such as a container for a box lunch.

The food packaging container integrally formed with such a plurality of storage recesses is convenient because it serves a sufficient role, but the storage recess is fixed on the container body side. Since it is formed, it is inconvenient in the following cases. For example, if rice and curry are stored separately, it is necessary to scoop up the curry with a spoon etc. and pour it on the rice, or even if so-called cut vegetables and dressing are stored separately, Have to scoop out.

For this reason, for main foods such as rice and cut vegetables, auxiliary foods such as curry and dressing or seasonings are put in another auxiliary container and stored in the auxiliary container body. Is being considered. In this way, the supplement can be taken out of the container body and used separately from the container body, so that curry or dressing can be easily added to rice or cut vegetables. Taking out the auxiliary container on the table is very convenient because it eliminates the need to eat difficult food in a limited range like the lunch box in the curtain.

Although it is a convenient auxiliary container as described above, if the auxiliary container cannot be fixed to the container body, the auxiliary container will fall down during transportation and the main foods that have been separated into different corners. It will be mixed with by-products. For this reason, it is generally conceivable to form protrusions, partitions, etc. for fixing the auxiliary container on the container body side, and set these as independent auxiliary compartments. However, it is often difficult to form a protrusion or the like on the container body side, because this container body is often a “deep one” that can accommodate an auxiliary container. Even when the auxiliary container is not used, the partition projections are only an obstacle when trying to use it.

Therefore, the present inventors have made various studies on how to easily fix the auxiliary container for the food packaging container using the auxiliary container as described above. As a result, they realized that it was better to form the one for fixing the auxiliary container on the lid side, and completed the present invention.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the problem to be solved is how to fix the auxiliary container to the container body.

[0008] The object of the present invention is to fix and seal the auxiliary container by engaging ridges formed on the lid side so that the auxiliary container does not fall down. Moreover, it is to provide a food packaging container having a simple structure, which enables the container body to have excellent versatility.

First, in this food packaging container 100, as shown in FIG. 1, after the auxiliary container 30 containing the auxiliary food 41 is stored in the main storage portion 11 of the container body 10, Since the main food 40 is put in the open portion of the part 11, not only the main food 40 and the side food 41 are completely separated, but also the side food 41 can be taken out together with the auxiliary container 30. It is possible. As the side food 41, various kinds of garnish, curry, etc. can be considered, and in some cases, seasonings such as mustard mayonnaise or dressing can be considered. For example, when this food packaging container 100 is used as a salad container, cut vegetables are adopted as the main food 40, and macaroni, fruits, and other salads are used as the auxiliary food 41. This is adopted, and another seasoning is put in the sub-accommodating portion 12 formed on the container body 10 side as in the embodiment.

As described above, when the auxiliary container 30 containing the main food 40 and the side food 41 is completely stored, the lid body 20 is fitted into the flange 13 formed in the opening of the container body 10 to close the container.

At this time, the engaging projections 22 formed on the lid 20 come into contact with the outer side edges of the opening of the auxiliary container 30 in the container body 10 as shown in FIG. The container body 10 is fixed so as not to fall down. In the embodiment described below, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the engaging projection 22 of the lid 20 is formed in an arc shape so as to follow the outer side edge shape of the auxiliary container 30. Therefore, since the auxiliary container 30 comes into line contact with the engaging projection 22 not by a point but by a line, the auxiliary container 30 is more firmly fixed to the container body 10 and hermetically sealed. -ing

In other words, since the auxiliary container 30 housed in the container body 10 is fixed by the engaging projection 22 on the lid 20 side, a process for fixing the auxiliary container 30 is required. It is not necessary to apply it to the container body 10 side. Therefore, in the food packaging container 100 of the present invention, when the auxiliary storage container 30 is not stored and the entire main storage portion 11 of the container main body 10 is used as a storage portion for the main food 40 and the like, nothing extra is present. Since it is not available, it can be used universally. In such a case, the lid 20 having no engaging projection 22 may be used, but the lid 20 having the engaging projection 22 has the engaging projection 22. It is advantageous because its presence makes it highly rigid. In other words, the engagement projections 22 of the lid 20 also play a role of increasing the rigidity of the entire lid 20, and are advantageous for ensuring rigidity for this type of lid that is generally formed as a shallow object. It has become.

In the container body 10 of the embodiment shown in the drawings, in addition to the main storage part 11 in which the auxiliary container 30 and the main food 40 are stored, the sub storage part 12 is formed. It is natural that the sub-storing part 12 is not always necessary for carrying out. As shown in FIG. 2, a sub-engaging ridge 23 is formed on the lid 20 side corresponding to the periphery of the sub-accommodating portion 12, and the sub-engaging ridge 23 is formed on the container body 10 side. The lid 20 is positioned with respect to the container body 10 by engaging with the outer side surface of the sub-storage part 12.
