2. Description of the Related Art Presently, in order to store and display products such as confectionery and processed foods such as side foods or staple foods in a plastic case, a single-sided case or lid body in which a lid body and a box body are integrated I used a case with a separate box. In the case of a single-sided case, put the product in the box and then stack the lid and the flange provided on the box to cover the lid, and stop the flange with a stapler at several places, or with a piece of tape. I was stopping. Further, in the case of a separate body, the case is stopped in the same manner as the case of the single-sided case, and the box body is fitted with the lid directly or by providing a projection or the like to fit the lid.

[0003]

However, with a method other than fitting and closing the lid, once opened, the stapler needle or cellophane tape that has been stopped to close the lid cannot be used again. Therefore, to keep the lid on,
I had to put something else on the lid or stop it with a rubber band, etc., and I felt very inconvenient in terms of storage and management after taking out a part of the product, or in use. .

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates such inconvenience and provides a food storage container which can be easily and surely capped many times after opening. .

[Detailed description of the device]

That is, a lid body and a box body provided with flanges around them are integrally connected at a connecting portion, and a locking body having a triangular or square polygonal shape or a convex cross section having an arbitrary cross section such as a circle or an ellipse is formed. The end of the case body is projecting on the flange of the box body so that it can be fitted and locked in a long narrow cutout hole or a convex engaging body with an arbitrary cross section provided at an appropriate position on the flange of the lid body. It has a hook rod that is longer than the locking body and can be inserted into and removed from the locking body, and a cover that is convex in the same arbitrary cross section as the locking body is placed in series with the locking body. It is provided so as to have a hooking rod end portion which is projected on the flange of the body and is inserted into the locking body.

[0006]

When the lid is closed for use, the flanges 4 of the lid 2 are locked by fitting the locking bodies 8 and 13 with the cutouts 7 and 12 or the engaging body 11 to stop the opening of the lid 2. At the same time, the latching rod 9 is inserted into the locking body 8 and the flange 4 is pressed to surely stop the opening and close the lid. When opening, the latch rod 9 is pulled out and the lid body 2 is lifted, so that the flange 4 is easily disengaged and the lid body 2 can be opened. Further, if the end of the hanging rod 9 is sharp, it may be taken out by being inserted into a product as a substitute for a toothpick or a fork. In this way, the lid of the case 1 can be easily and securely made after taking out a part of the product in the case 1 many times.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. (Embodiment 1) In the figure, 1 is a plastic single-sided case consisting of a box-shaped lid body 2 and a box body 3, and flanges 4 and 5 are provided on the entire circumference of the lid body 2 and the box body 3, respectively. One end of each of the flanges 4 and 5 is integrally connected to the connecting portion 6 so that the lid 2 can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 7 denotes a rectangular cutout hole having an appropriate length, which is located at an appropriate position in the center of the flange 4 on the side opposite to the connecting portion 6 and at the edge 4 of the flange 4.
It is provided so as to be parallel to a. Reference numeral 8 is a polygonal shape such as a triangle or a square, or an arbitrary cross section (a cylindrical shape is shown in FIG. 1) consisting of a circle or an ellipse, and a convex locking for fitting and locking in the cutout hole 7. It is a body, and is projectingly provided at an appropriate position in the center of the flange 5 so as to correspond to the cutout hole 7.

In use, the lid body 2 is opened and products are put in the box body 3 and the lid body 2 is placed on the box body 3. At this time, the flanges 4 and 5 are in close contact with each other, and the locking body 8 fits into the cutout hole 7 to lock the opening of the lid body 2. Next, in order to take out the product from the box 3, the lid 2 is lifted, the hook 8 and the flange 4 are easily disengaged, and the lid 2 is opened, so that the product is taken out from the box 3. Even if the procedure is repeated to take out a part of the product many times, the box 2 can be covered with the cover 2 each time.

(Embodiment 2) Since this embodiment is almost the same as the first embodiment, only different parts will be described. Reference numeral 9 denotes a hooking rod such as a toothpick having a length longer than that of the locking body 8 (in the drawing, the case of a toothpick is shown), which can be inserted into the locking body 8. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cover body having substantially the same cross section as that of the locking body 8 and having an appropriate length. One of the locking bodies 8 is provided with an appropriate interval so as to be protruded from the flange 4 so as to be in series and inserted into the locking body 8. It is possible to insert the tip of the hanging rod 9 In addition,
The cover 10 is provided when the tip of the retaining rod 9 is sharp like a toothpick, and is not necessarily provided unless the tip of the retaining rod 9 is sharp.

Since it is almost the same as the first embodiment in use, only different parts will be described. When the locking rod 9 is inserted into the locking body 8 after the locking body 8 is fitted in the cutout hole 7, the flange 4 abuts on the locking rod 9 to stop the lid body 2 from opening and maintain the lid state. At this time, the tip of the hanging rod 9 is inserted into the cover 10 to be covered. And to take out the product from the box 3,
When the hook rod 9 is pulled out from the locking body 8, the flange 4 is hooked on the locking body 8 through the cutout hole 7, but when the lid body 2 is lifted, the hooking is easily released and the lid body 2 becomes free. Take out the product. Since the end of the removed retaining rod 9 is protected by the cover 10, it can be used as a toothpick. According to the above-mentioned procedure, the lid body 2 can be surely covered even if the products are taken out of the box body 3 one by one.

(Third Embodiment) This embodiment is almost the same as the second embodiment except that the cutout hole 7 is changed to a convex portion. Therefore, a different portion will be described.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a convex engaging body having an appropriate length and having a triangular or quadrangular polygonal shape or an arbitrary cross section (a cylindrical shape is shown in FIG. 3) consisting of a circle or an ellipse. The flange 4 is projectingly provided at an appropriate position in parallel with the edge 4a so that the locking body 8 can be fitted. In use, the engagement body 8 is fitted in the cutout hole 7 instead of the engagement body 8, and the engagement body 11 is fitted in the engagement body 8 in other respects. Omit it.

(Fourth Embodiment) A different part from the first embodiment will be described. Reference numeral 12 is an elongated cutout hole, which is formed at an appropriate position of the flange 4 excluding the connection portion 6 so as to be orthogonal to the edge 4a. Reference numeral 13 is a locking body having an arbitrary cross section (shown in a circular shape in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11) and having a locking portion 13a slightly thicker than the cutout hole 12 provided on the upper portion thereof. Corresponding to the above, the flange 5 is projected at an appropriate position.
In use, when the lid 2 is opened and a product is put in the box body 3 to be covered, the cutout hole 12 is engaged with the cutout hole 1 while making the lid 2 convex.
3, the cutout hole 12 is inserted into the locking body 13 so that the flange 4 is pressed by the locking portion 13a. And the locking portion 13
The flange 4 is stopped at a and the lid 2 is covered so as not to be opened. Also, to take out the product in the box 3, the locking body 1
When the cutout hole 12 is pulled out from 3, the locking portion 13a is unlocked, the lid body 2 becomes free, and the product is taken out from the box body 3. Even after the procedure is repeated and the products are taken out one by one, the lid 2 can be surely covered.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention requires a product because the flange can be locked with the locking body to prevent the lid from opening and the latching rod can be inserted to securely cover the lid many times. It can be partially removed from the case depending on the situation, and the trouble of putting an object or stopping it with a rubber band is eliminated, and by making the tip of the hanging rod sharp, it can be used as a substitute for fork etc. It is a device that has features and is extremely excellent in practical use.
