2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the fields of ready-to-eat foods and frozen foods, food packages for microwave ovens that can be cooked in a microwave oven while foods are stored in packaging containers sold on the market have been widely used. ing.

[0003] Unlike conventional foods, there is no need to take out the food from the package body and cook it separately in a pot or a frying pan, etc., and the whole package can be heated in a microwave oven without using cooking utensils. Because it is simple and easy to use, it is often used in homes and cafeterias.

[0004]

However, since there is usually only one storage portion in such a container, when a plurality of different types of foods are stored, they may be mixed to deteriorate the taste and appearance. there were. In addition, since different types of foods also have different optimal heating times, when they are stored in one container, if they are directly heated in a microwave oven or the like, one of the foods is overheated or underheated. There was an inconvenience.

[0005] Therefore, one container usually contains only one type of food. However, when eating foods such as side dishes and white rice, they are arranged on the table at the same time. Was inconvenient. In addition, when stored in separate containers, there is a problem in that the packaging cost is high and it is not suitable for inexpensive prepared foods and lunch boxes.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and can store different types of objects to be handled and treat them as one container at the time of sale or use.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a container with a lid that can be easily opened after being opened and can be used as a separate container.

As another means, a heat seal layer 4 is provided on the lid 2, and the peripheral edges 5 a, 5 b of the containers 1 a, 1 b are heat sealed with the lid 2 by the heat seal layer 4. Is to be.

As described above, the present invention provides a plurality of container bodies 1a, 1
b is shifted while the peripheral edges 5a, 5b of the openings of the container bodies 1a, 1b are shifted so that a part of the lower peripheral edge 5a is exposed. Perimeter 5a, 5
The lid 2 is attached at the peripheral edges 5a, 5b in contact with all the superimposed peripheral edges 5a, 5b. Therefore, each container 1a, 1b can be closed by attaching one lid 2.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container main body composed of two inner and outer container bodies 1a and 1b molded from a synthetic resin into substantially the same shape.
Inner container body 1b formed slightly smaller in diameter than outer container body 1a
Are nested.

The depth of the storage portion of the inner container 1b is determined by the outer container 1a.
Since the storage portion is shallower than the depth of the storage portion, even when the inner and outer container bodies 1a, 1b are stacked, storage portions capable of storing the objects to be stored are formed in the respective container bodies 1a, 1b, for example, the outer container body 1a White rice 8a is stored in the storage section, and curry bar 8b is stored in the storage section of the inner container 1b.
Can be stored so that different types of objects to be stored can be stored.

Each of the container bodies 1a and 1b has an inner container 1b inserted into the opening of the outer container 1a, and is provided on a peripheral edge 5a which is formed so as to protrude outward at the periphery of the opening of the outer container 1a. And the inner container
The peripheral portion 5b similarly formed is also overlapped on 1b. The peripheral edge 5b of the opening of the inner container body 1b has a shorter outwardly protruding length than the peripheral edge 5a of the outer container body 1a, and therefore, as shown in FIG. The outer container body 1a is superimposed on the outer periphery of the outer peripheral portion 5b so that the outer peripheral portion 5a of the outer container body 1a protrudes.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid body provided with a heat seal layer 4 on the back side of a base material 3 made of a synthetic resin sheet. The heat seal layer 4 of the lid body 2 can be heat sealed with the container body 1. It is made of synthetic resin.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lid member 2 is heat-sealed at the peripheral portions 5a and 5b of the container bodies 1a and 1b via the heat-sealing layer 4. At this time, as described above, The peripheral portion 5a of the outer container body 1a stacked on the lower surface side also has an inner container body 1b.
Because it protrudes in a state of being exposed outside the peripheral edge portion 5b of the heat seal layer 4, it can contact the heat seal layer 4. Therefore,
Sealing can be reliably performed on the peripheral portions 5a, 5b of the containers 1a, 1b.
b can also be sealed.

The sealing strength of the heat seal is preferably such that the lid 2 can be easily peeled off by hand or the like, and a non-seal portion is provided on a part of the peripheral portions 5a and 5b. A heat seal may be provided so that the lid material 2 can be easily peeled off from the non-sealed portion.

Next, a container 10 with a lid having the above-described structure is provided.
When the container is opened, first, the lid 2 is peeled off from the container body 1 as shown in FIG. Then, since the lid member 2 is adhered to both the peripheral portions 5a and 5b of each of the containers 1a and 1b, both the containers 1a and 1b can be opened at a time.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, after the lid member 2 is removed, the two container bodies 1a and 1b can be easily separated and used as separate containers.

Further, for example, when the lid member 2 is peeled off after the package 10 with the lid is heated in a microwave oven or the like before opening, cooking and the like can be performed in one container body 1, and each of the containers can be cooked. Objects to be stored are not mixed, and the flavor and appearance are not impaired.

Further, after opening, the food can be cooked by heating in a microwave oven or the like. In this case, the optimum temperature and heating are determined according to the respective items stored in the containers 1a and 1b. It is also easy to set the time and separately cook and heat.

In the above-described embodiment, the container body 1 is formed by stacking the outer container body 1a and the inner container body 1b having substantially the same shape and a slightly smaller diameter as the outer container body 1a. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, as shown in FIG.
May be an inner container 1b that overlaps a part of the inner container. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a container body in which three container bodies 1a, 1b, 1c are stacked may be used, and the number and shape of the container bodies constituting the container body 1 are limited to the above embodiment. Not something.

In the above embodiment, the container body 1 is used separately when used. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, an opening 7 is formed in the bottom of the inner container 1b. The opening 7 is sealed with a label 6 that can be peeled off from the vicinity of the opening 7 by heating or the like, and the outer container body is heated at the time of heating.
The inner container 1a may be formed so as to communicate with the inner container 1b through the opening 7. In this case, for example, by storing seasonings, water, etc. in one container body, and putting dry matter such as vegetables and beans in the other container body, steamed or boiled food can be easily obtained with a microwave oven or the like. Can be cooked.

Further, in the above embodiment, the container is formed by molding. However, the container may be formed of a sheet such as a soft synthetic resin film, or may be formed of aluminum foil. Good.

In the above embodiment, the cover member 2 is provided with the heat seal layer 4 and is heat-sealed with the container body 1 by the heat seal layer 4. However, as means for attaching the cover member 2 to the container body 1, You may bond with an adhesive etc.

Further, in the above embodiment, the lid member 2 is formed from the base material 3 made of a synthetic resin film and the heat sealing layer 4 provided on the base material 3.
The material may be any sheet material that can be used as a cover material, such as a synthetic resin film laminated with a metal foil or a paper sheet. As long as it is a material that can be heat-sealed to the body, it may be formed from a single-layer film sheet composed of only a substrate. Further, it is not a condition that the object to be stored in each container is a food, and any object may be used as long as it is stored in a separate container.

In addition, the specific structure of the sealing label or the package body can be arbitrarily changed within the scope of the present invention.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, separate containers can be sealed with one lid, and can be handled as one container before being opened. By simply opening the body, it can be easily separated and used as a plurality of containers. Therefore, it is not bulky at the time of transportation and sale, it can be used as multiple containers as needed at the time of use, and all containers can be opened just by opening one lid material, so with a lid that is easy to open Can be used as a container.
