The rising fitting band portion 4 is formed so as to surround the opening peripheral portion of the container body 1.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a lid, which is made of synthetic resin and surrounds a drooping fitting band portion 6 which is tightly fitted to a rising fitting band portion 4 formed on the container body 1 at an outer peripheral edge portion. The inner band 7 is formed so as to surround the inner band 7 and the vapor vent hole 5a is formed on the upper surface.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a projecting flange portion which is formed so as to project over the entire circumference of the opening peripheral edge portion of the container body 1. A projecting ridge 9 is formed on the upper surface of the projecting flange portion 8 and the side surface of the container body 1 so as to project. An outer peripheral edge portion of the collar portion 8 is formed on the annular protrusion 10.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a lever body, which is provided at the peripheral edge of the lid body 5 such that the connecting portion 5b with the lid body 5 has a thin wall thickness so as to be bendable up and down. A fulcrum portion 12 is formed by hanging a plate-shaped member, and the fulcrum portion 1
Two triangular vertices are formed so as to be able to come into contact with the annular protrusion 10 of the protruding collar portion 8.

Numeral 13 is a roll-up portion, which is formed into a thin plate and is located on both sides of the lever body 11 of the lid body 4 so as to integrally project.

Reference numeral 14 is a non-slip portion, which is the lever body 11
Is integrally formed by unevenness on the surface of.

Since this embodiment has the above-mentioned structure, the interior of the container body 1 is formed by the partition portion 2. Therefore, for example, several kinds of foods such as pre-cooked rice, prepared foods and soups are separated. Then, the lid body 5 is tightly fitted to the container body 1 by tightly fitting the rising fitting band portion 4 and the hanging fitting band portion 6 to each other, and the lid body 5 can be stored in the refrigerator as it is and when it is edible. It can be cooked as it is in a microwave oven and can be used as very convenient lunch tableware.

Further, when removing the lid 5 from the container 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the lever body 11 is pushed down with the finger N with the contact position between the fulcrum portion 12 and the protruding brim portion 8 as a fulcrum. As shown in FIG. 7, the lid body 5 can be lifted in a biased state via the connecting portion 5b with a lever action, and thus the lid body 5 can be removed extremely easily, which greatly enhances convenience. In addition, since the projecting collar portion 8 is provided so as to project over the entire circumference of the opening peripheral edge portion of the container body 1, the protruding collar portion 8 is not restricted by the relative positional relationship between the container body 1 and the lid body 5, and can be located at any position. The above-mentioned lever function can be obtained, and further improvement in convenience can be expected.

At this time, since the winding upper portion 13 is projected on the lid 5, the lid 5 can be removed more easily by flipping up the winding upper portion 13 with a finger after the lever operation is performed. Since the non-slip portion 14 is formed on the lever body 11, it is possible to prevent the lever body 11 and the finger N from slipping, and it is possible to easily perform the lever operation.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but the container body 1, the lid body 5, the protruding collar portion 8 and the lever body 11 are provided.
Also, the structure of the fulcrum portion 12 and the like are appropriately modified and designed.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the inside of the container is formed by the partition portion, several kinds of foods such as pre-cooked rice, prepared foods and soups are separately stored,
The lid is tightly fitted to the container and can be stored in a closed state in a refrigerator, and can be cooked as it is in a microwave oven for eating, and can be used as very convenient lunch tableware. When removing, the lid can be lifted in a biased state by pushing down the lever body with the finger using the contact position between the fulcrum portion and the protruding collar portion as a fulcrum. It can be removed and it is very convenient, and since the projecting collar is projected all around the peripheral edge of the opening of the container, the relative positional relationship between the container and the lid must be taken into consideration. Instead, the lever function can be obtained at any position, and further convenience can be expected.

At this time, by projecting the winding upper portion on the lid, the lid can be removed more easily by flipping up the winding upper portion with a finger after performing the lever operation.

Further, by forming the non-slip portion on the lever body, slipping between the lever body and the finger can be prevented, so that the lever operation can be easily performed.
