 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bento container 1 of the present invention comprises a main body container 2 and a fluid prepared food container 3.

The main body container 2 is formed of a material having a good heat insulating property such as polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, expanded polystyrene, expanded polyethylene, and the like, and includes a bottom wall portion 4, a peripheral wall portion 5, an upper wall portion 6, and a partition wall. And part 7. Further, the cooked rice storing portion 8, the solid prepared food storing portion 9, and the fluid prepared food storing portion fitting portion 10 are formed by being partitioned by the peripheral wall portion 5 and the partition wall portion 7.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fluid side dish accommodating portion fitting portion 10 has a substantially hemispherical shape corresponding to the shape of the fluid side dish accommodating portion 13 of the fluid side dish container 3, and the fluid side dish accommodating portion is A small hole 11 having a hole diameter such that the tip of a finger can be inserted is formed at a substantially central portion of the fitting portion 10.

A knob insertion portion 12 is formed from the fluid side dish accommodating portion insertion portion 10 to a corner portion of the peripheral wall portion 5. The knob insertion portion 12 has a substantially cylindrical surface shape. When the fluid prepared food container 3 of the fluid prepared food container 3 is inserted into the fluid prepared food receiving portion fitting portion 10, a space is formed between the picked portion 15 of the fluid prepared food container 3 and a finger tip. It's done.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fluid prepared food container 3 is made of the same material as the main body container 2, and has a fluid prepared food container 13 for containing the prepared food and a peripheral edge. It is composed of a part 14 and a picking part 15.

The liquid-side dish storage section 13 has a substantially hemispherical shape so that the stored liquid-side dish such as natto and raw eggs can be easily stirred with chopsticks and the like, and the stored liquid-side dish can be easily stored. The depth is set appropriately so that it will not overflow outside.

The grip portion 15 does not protrude from the peripheral wall portion 5 of the main body container 2 so as not to disturb the packaging of the lunch container 1 and the like, and has a length suitable for gripping with fingers. Further, in order to secure the strength of the knob portion 15, it is preferable to make it slightly curved in the width direction, but it may be flat or any other shape as long as the function is not impaired.

The fluid side dish container 3 is fitted with the fluid side dish storage portion 13 in the fluid side dish storage portion fitting portion 10 of the main body container 2 and the knob portion 15 is positioned in the knob portion insertion portion 12 so that the peripheral portion 14 is brought into contact with the upper wall portion 6 around the fluid side dish accommodating portion fitting portion 10 and can be accommodated in the main body container 2.

Next, a method of using the bento container 1 of the present invention in the case of storing natto as a liquid side dish will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the soy sauce packaging bag 16 usually attached to the bento container 1 is cut off in a state where the fluid prepared food container 3 is housed in the main body container 2 to remove soy sauce. Is applied to the natto stored in the liquid side dish storage section 13. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the natto is thoroughly stirred in the fluid prepared dish container 3 by the chopsticks 17 held by one of the fingers, so that the soy sauce is made to adapt.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), the tip of the other finger is inserted into the small hole 11 of the fluid prepared food container inserting portion 10 from below, and the fluid prepared food container 13 is slightly lifted. The fingers 15 are used to pick up the pick portion 15 and lift the fluid prepared food container 3 to separate it from the main body container 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (D), the liquid side dish container 3 is tilted, and the natto in the liquid side dish storage portion 13 is sprinkled with rice or the like and eaten.

It should be noted that, after the natto is finished, if the fluid prepared food storing portion 13 of the fluid prepared food container 3 is fitted into the fluid prepared food accommodation portion fitting portion 10 again, the bento container 1 is discarded. It is convenient and not bulky.

Further, when a liquid-side food container 13 of the liquid-side food container 3 stores a liquid-side food such as raw eggs having a high liquidity, a transparent film or the like is attached to the peripheral edge portion 14 of the liquid-side food container 3. It is effective that the contents are prevented from overflowing the fluid prepared food container 3 by sealing.
