Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a confectionery container for forming a cake or the like.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a confectionery container of this type, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a confectionery container having a bottomed cylindrical shape and a large number of longitudinal pleats 2 formed around it is used for cake molding. There is a forming cup 1.

When a large number of cakes are molded by the molding cups 1, a large number of cups 1 containing cake seeds are individually placed on a belt conveyor, carried into a heated oven and baked therein, and further, from the oven. The cups 1 carried out are individually boxed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as described above, the molding cup 1 needs to individually perform a series of processes during cake molding, which is very troublesome when manufacturing a large number of cakes. Was there. This problem is not limited to the cake molding cup 1 described above, but all the confectionery containers of this type that contain confectionery or the like have the same problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a confectionery container that can process a large number at the same time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The confectionery container of the present invention has a cup-like shape, and the upper end of the periphery thereof is folded back downward to form a folded portion, and the upper and lower portions of the folded portion are directed outward. A molding cup that is bent to form an engagement groove on its outer periphery and a plurality of engagement holes are formed. The molding cup is fitted into each engagement hole, and the engagement hole is formed in the engagement groove of the cup. And a connecting plate capable of fixing the molding cup by engaging the edges of the.

[Operation] Since the engaging groove of the molding cup engages with the engaging hole of the connecting plate,
The respective molding cups cannot be separated upward and downward from the respective engagement holes of the connecting plate. Therefore, each molding cup is integrated with the connecting plate and can be handled collectively.

[Embodiment] An embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a confectionery container for cake molding will be described below with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, the confectionery container has six molding cups 1.
And one connecting plate 5.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the molding cup 1 is formed by bending a piece of circular wax paper into a cylindrical shape with a bottom and a large number of longitudinal pleats 2 formed around it. There is. The upper end of the periphery of the molding cup 1 is folded back downward to form a folded-back portion 3, and the upper and lower portions of the folded-back portion 3 are bent so as to project toward the outside of the cup, whereby the folded-back portion 3 is formed. An engagement groove 4 having an acute cross-section is formed on the outer periphery of 3.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the connecting plate 5 is made of paper and has a rectangular plate shape, and six circular engaging holes 6 are provided therethrough. The molding cup 1 is detachably fitted into the engaging hole 6 so that the edge of the engaging hole 6 fits into the engaging groove 4 of the cup 1.

Next, a case where a cake is molded by the confectionery container configured as described above will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the molding cups 1 are fitted into all the engaging holes 6 of the connecting plate 5, and the seeds of the cake are put into the respective cups 1. Then, this confectionery container is placed on a belt conveyer and carried into an oven that is heated, and baked therein. Furthermore, the confectionery container that has been carried out from the oven can be unloaded from the conveyor and boxed as it is,
Once this confectionery container is stacked and cooled.

Since the engaging groove 4 of the forming cup 1 is fitted into the engaging hole 6 of the connecting plate 5 as described above, the forming cup 1 does not separate downward when the connecting plate 5 is gripped and the confectionery container is held. Not only that, when the confectionery container is placed on the belt conveyor, the connecting plate 5 does not separate downward.

As described above, according to the confectionery container of the present embodiment, the six molding cups 1 can be collectively handled, which is far less troublesome than the case where the molding cups 1 are individually handled. Therefore, even when a large number of cakes are produced, they can be processed quickly.

Further, when the baked cakes are individually packaged in boxes, the molding cup 1 needs to be detached from the connecting plate 5. However, according to the confectionery container of this example, as shown in FIG. The folded portion 3 of the molding cup 1 is bent only by placing the container for use and lowering the connecting plate 5 downward, and the cup 1 can be easily disengaged from the engaging hole 6 of the connecting plate 5.

Although the molding cup 1 of the confectionery container of this embodiment is made of wax paper and the connecting plate 5 is provided with six engaging holes 6, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, molding The cup 1 may be made of aluminum and the connecting plate 5 may be provided with nine engaging holes 6.

Further, although the forming cup 1 of the confectionery container of this embodiment has the folds 2 formed around it, it may be embodied as a forming cup without the folds 2.

Further, in the confectionery container of the present embodiment, the forming cup 1 is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the engaging hole 6 of the connecting plate 5 is formed into a circular shape. However, for example, the forming cup 1 is formed into a square cross section and is connected. The engagement hole 6 of the plate 5 may also be formed in a corresponding square shape.

[Effect of the Invention] As described in detail above, the confectionery container of the present invention has an excellent effect that a large number can be processed at the same time.
