Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a storage case for storing food, in which the stored food does not rot and the stored product looks larger than it actually is. [Structure] A bottom plate curved in an arc shape is used as a bottom of a storage space for storing articles, and the bottom plate is attached by fitting its edge into a fitting groove formed in a side plate of a frame body.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a case for storing food such as kamaboko or small items.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Many gifts are prepared for various parties and wedding receptions. Of course, the substantial contents of these items are important, and the appearance is not negligible, so relatively cheap and attractive items are selected. Appearance is one of the required elements in gifts and souvenirs, not limited to the above gifts. Therefore, the item is placed in a case to enhance its appearance and give the person who received it an impression.

By the way, although there are various forms of the storage case according to the items to be stored, the storage case generally has a flat bottom surface to form a rectangular storage space. When, for example, a kamaboko is put in such a rectangular storage space, the kamaboko is placed with the plate down, so that the upper part is opened and the kamaboko itself is in contact with the air. Not only kamaboko, but general foods need to have a small contact surface with air to prevent spoilage, so the conventional rectangular storage space is not sufficient.

In addition, such a rectangular storage space has a large storage volume, and the amount of items to be stored also increases, resulting in a high cost as a gift or a gift. Of course, if a storage case with a bottom-up structure is used, the actual storage capacity will be small, but it will be against the will of the person who receives the product or purchases the product.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention]

 As described above, the conventional storage case for food or the like having the rectangular storage space has the above-mentioned problems. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems, and it is to provide a storage case in which the surface of the food is not exposed to the air as much as possible when the food is put in the storage space. Further, instead of the conventional bottom-up structure, a storage case for food or the like is provided, which has a substantially reduced storage volume and a good appearance.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The storage case for food or the like according to the present invention is made of wood or plastic, and the bottom of the storage space has an arcuate curved concave surface. Therefore, when an item (for example, a sickle bark) is put in the storage space, the kamaboko is stored inside out so that no gap remains at the bottom of the item, and the contact area with air is reduced.

By the way, when the bottom plate is made of wood, one plate is curved and is fitted into an arc groove formed in the side plate of the storage case, and the bottom face of the plate is curved to bend the bottom plate. A plurality of thin slit grooves are formed. One or a plurality of such storage spaces are formed in the storage case, and an appropriate food is put in each storage space. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0008]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a food storage case according to the present invention. The storage case has three storage spaces 1, 1, ... As shown in FIG. The bottom surface has a semi-circular arc. The bottom surface is constituted by a bottom plate 2, and the bottom plate 2 is curved in an arc. The bottom plate 2 is made of a single wooden plate, and the lower surface 3 has thin slit grooves formed at predetermined intervals. Therefore, even a relatively thick plate can be bent and deformed without cracking.

The storage case is one in which the bottom plates 2, 2, ... Are curved and attached to a frame body in which the side plates 4, 4 and the side plates 5, 5 are combined with each other. The side plates 4, 4, 5 and 5 are combined by nailing or using an adhesive, but the bottom plates 2, 2, ... Are formed on the side plates 4 and 4 without nailing or using an adhesive. Both edges are fitted in the fitting groove and fixed.

FIG. 2 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1. The side plate 4 has a step formed on the upper portion thereof, and the fitting grooves 6, 6 ... And the edge 7 of the bottom plate 2 is fitted in the fitting groove 6. Both edges 7, 7 of the bottom plate 2 are fitted in the fitting grooves 6, 6 of the side plates 4, 4 to form a bottom having a predetermined arc surface. Since the bottom plate 2 is attached by fitting both edges 7 and 7 thereof into the fitting grooves 6 and 6 of the side plates 4 and 4, after assembling the frame body with the side plates 4, 4, 5 and 5. Then, the attachment of the bottom plate 2 does not occur, and after the edge 7 of the bottom plate 2 is fitted to the one side plate 4, the other side plate 4 that faces is fixed.

FIGS. 3 a and 3 b show a case where the kamaboko 8 is put in the storage case of the present invention. The kamaboko 8 has a substantially semicircular cross section, and therefore the kamaboko 8 having a substantially semicircular cross section is closely attached to the bottom surface 9 with no gap. The upper surface 10 of the kamaboko 8 is a flat surface, and the top and bottom are opposite in shape to the conventional kamaboko. Therefore, since the upper surface 10 is the front surface, the upper surface 10 is decorated by forming a predetermined color or characters. Also, with the kamaboko 8 inserted, the bottom surface 9 of the storage space 1 does not come into close contact with the air, and accordingly a large kamaboko 8 cannot be inserted.

Since the top surface 10 is flat, the surface is a voluminous kamaboko 8 that has a very large volume, but since the bottom has a convex curved surface, the substantial volume is small, which is attractive and cost effective. It will be cheaper that much. Here, a conventional kamaboko with a plate may be turned upside down in the storage space 1, but it may be formed so that the plate surface becomes the surface. Of course, the storage case of the present invention is not limited to the kamaboko 8 as a storage item, but by putting any item on the concave arc surface bottom, the substantial amount is small and the amount can be reduced. Does not surface.

Further, in the case of inserting a chimney ring, the arc-shaped storage spaces 1, 1 ... Are formed to have a size corresponding to the thickness of the chimney ring, and the size of the storage space 1 is appropriately changed depending on the food. . The storage case is covered with a lid 11. As described above, in the storage case of the present invention, the bottom surface of the storage space is a concave arc surface, and the following effects can be obtained.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 Since the storage case of the present invention has a concave arc surface on the bottom surface of the storage space, the storage volume is substantially reduced and the amount of stored items can be reduced. However, when the product is put in, the shape of the bottom face is completely unknown from the upper surface, and the amount of the stored product is large. In other words, it is not a storage case with a bottom-up structure, but it has the same effect and is ideal as a case for gifts and souvenirs that emphasizes appearance. On the other hand, when putting foods that are easily spoiled, the bottom of the foods will be shaped to conform to the curved bottom of the storage space, the contact area with air can be reduced, and the stored goods will be stable. .
