Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable blood to be easily absorbed into an absorbing material, to improve sanitary and clean feel and to enhance buying desire by providing an absorbing material and a network of synthetic resin superposed on the absorbing material and thermally bonding at least a part of the network to the absorbing material. SOLUTION: An absorbing material 1 having a sheet shape comprises non- woven fabric or pulp and a network 2 is made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene. The opposite short sides of the network 2 are thermally bonded to the material 1. And the network 2 has a mesh of 0.5-1mm. The cross section of mesh of the network 2 has a pot-like shape, that is, the section of mesh is narrowed toward the bottom thereof, so that a flow of blood from the material 1 to the surface of the network 2 is effectively intercepted. In this tray mat, blood leaving foods mounted on the mat is allowed to pass through numerous meshes and rapidly absorbed into the material 1. Consequently, the blood is prevented from remaining on the surface of the tray mat.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tray mat laid on a tray for absorbing blood from food such as meat and fish.

[0002]

In supermarkets, not only meat such as pork and beef but also fish are cut and sold in a fixed amount in trays and sold in a transparent film package. In such a sales form, the food is often left for a long time while being arranged on the display shelf, so that blood juice is easily accumulated in the tray. This not only makes the appearance bad, but also causes the food to be damaged earlier. Therefore, the tray is provided with a tray mat for absorbing blood juice.

Conventionally, a nonwoven fabric cut somewhat smaller than the food to be placed has been used as a tray mat. However, the surface of the food that comes into contact with the tray mat is always wet with blood, which is not preferable. Therefore, a tray mat as shown in FIG. 8 has been considered. This is because fine holes 1 are spaced at intervals of about 10 to 20 mm.
The plastic film 11 forming 1a is bonded to an absorbent body 12 made of a non-woven fabric, and the plastic film 11 separates meat and fish from the absorbed blood juice. Therefore, the above problem is solved.

[0004] However, this has a drawback that blood juice remains on the surface of the tray mat because the plastic film 11 is between the meat or fish and the absorber 12. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a tray mat in which blood juice is easily sucked into an absorber, and there is little problem that meat and fish remain wet with blood juice. Aim.

[0005]

The above object of the present invention is achieved by a tray mat comprising an absorbent body and a net body. In particular, a tray mat comprising an absorber and a net body made of synthetic resin laminated on the absorber, wherein at least a part of the net body is heat-sealed to the absorber. Achieved by

That is, in the present invention, the net is provided on the surface of the absorber, so that blood and the like quickly penetrate and are absorbed by the absorber. Then, the placed object such as food and the absorber are separated by the net and do not directly contact, so that the absorbed liquid does not adhere. Therefore, not only the appearance is good, but also the drawbacks caused by the contact of the placing object such as food with the liquid such as blood juice, especially the drawback of accelerating the damage.

In the tray mat, it is preferable that the mesh body is heat-sealed to the absorbent body along a predetermined line to form a liquid diffusion guide path. As a result, the absorbed liquid is dispersed over a wide range, so that the absorption speed is high and the utilization efficiency of the absorber is high. Also, the mesh part of the mesh is
It is preferable that the absorber has a small opening area on the side thereof and a large opening area on the side on which the article is placed, in the shape of a mortar.
That is, by making the bottom surface side of the mesh portion narrowed down, this portion exerts a check valve-like effect, and the flow of the liquid from the absorber toward the mesh surface is blocked, so that the liquid does not return to the back. It's hard to get up.

[0008]

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a tray mat according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tray mat, FIG. 2 is a partial plan view of a net, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a mesh portion of the net. In each of the figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a sheet-shaped absorbent made of nonwoven fabric or pulp, and 2 denotes a net made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene. The opposite short sides of the net 2 are heat-sealed to the absorber 1.

The mesh 2 has a pattern as shown in FIG. 2, and the mesh (FIG. 2 is a black-and-white inversion and the mesh is indicated by a black dot) has an interval of about 0.5 to 1 mm. The cross-section of the mesh portion of the net 2 is mortar-shaped as can be seen from FIG. That is, the bottom surface side (absorber 1 side) of the mesh portion is narrowed to have a check valve effect, and the flow of blood from the absorber 1 toward the surface of the mesh body 2 is effectively prevented. It is designed to shut off.

[0010] In the tray mat having the above structure, the blood juice from the placed food is quickly absorbed by the absorber 1 through the myriad of meshes formed in the net 2. Therefore, blood juice does not remain on the tray mat surface. In addition, since the net 2 exists between the absorber 1 and the food, once absorbed blood does not return and adhere to the food. Furthermore, since the structure is simple, it can be provided at low cost.

In the tray mat of the first embodiment, a pulp sheet or the like may be interposed between the absorbent body 1 and the net body 2 to improve the diffusibility of blood juice. The tray mat of the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment. For example, the mesh body 2 may be heat-sealed to the absorber 1 along a predetermined line to form a blood diffusion guide path, and specific examples thereof are shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 (second to fifth embodiments). ).

In the second embodiment, the diffusion body 3 is formed by heat-sealing the mesh body 2 along a line extending in the longitudinal direction. In the third embodiment, a large number of diffusion guide paths 4 are formed by heat-sealing the mesh body 2 along a line extending in the lateral direction. In the fourth embodiment, the diffusion guide path 5 is formed by heat-sealing the mesh body 2 along a saw-toothed line.

In the fifth embodiment, the mesh body 2 is obliquely heat-sealed at predetermined intervals to form a lattice-shaped diffusion guide path 6. However, in comparison with the second to fifth embodiments in which the above-described diffusion guide path is formed, the second to fourth embodiments in which the diffusion guide path does not have an edge are preferable.

[0014]

According to the present invention, blood juice is easily sucked into the absorber, there are few problems that meat and fish remain wet with blood juice, the sanitary and clean feeling is high, and the purchase motivation is increased.
