JPH1086991A - One mouthful jelly container - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mouthful jelly container in which the contained jelly can be divided into a plurality of lumps and from which these can be taken out. SOLUTION: In a mouthful jelly container 1, the upper layer film 6 and the lower layer film 7 are heat-sealed together. The upper layer film constituting a seal material can be peeled off. The lower layer film 7 is provided with a cross-shaped bridge 8 at the corresponding part to the opening of the container body 2. Fan-shaped taking-out openings 9 divided by the bridge 8 are formed. When one eats a konjak jelly in the container, after the upper layer film 6 has been peeled, the container body 2 is brought to one's mouth and a force is applied through fingers so as to squash the side wall of the container body 2, Then, the contained jelly 10 are divided by the bridge 8 of the lower layer film 7 into four lumps and fed in one's mouth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called single-mouthed jelly container for storing jelly in an amount that can be eaten by one mouthful.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A bite jelly is known as an easy snack for children. One bite jelly, capacity from 15g to 40g
g is a product containing jelly in a container. This product has the characteristic that the jelly inside the container is eaten directly into the mouth from the container, and this characteristic is accepted by consumers,
At present, it has become a big market.

[0003]

However, even if a bite jelly is used, for example, for infants with insufficient mastication ability or infants with insufficient mastication ability, a single mass of jelly is consumed at a time. May be too large. In this case, it is necessary for the mother to divide the jelly in the container into spoons and put it in the infant's mouth several times so that the infant can eat it easily. This means that the commercial value of bite jelly is halved. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a single-mouthed jelly container that can divide and extract the jelly contained therein into a plurality of chunks.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a container according to the present invention, wherein a partition member is provided at an opening of a container body to divide the opening into a plurality of outlets. Achieved by a jelly container.

[0005] According to the single-mouthed jelly container, since the opening of the container body passes through the plurality of outlets which make the opening substantially small, the jelly inside comes out of the container body, so that the jelly is separated from the partition member. Is divided into a plurality of chunks while passing through the mouth, thereby entering into the mouth in a state of being divided into small chunks.

[0006]

1 to 3 show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mouthful jelly container with a sealing material opened, and FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view including a partial cross section taken along a line II-II of FIG. 1 at an upper end portion. The single-mouthed jelly container 1 has a container body 2. The container main body 2 is made of a transparent or colored synthetic resin molded product having a cup-like shape slightly enlarged in diameter toward the upper end opening 3 and has a capacity of 15 g to 40 g. Container body 2
Has a circumferential flange 4 that extends outwardly around the upper end opening 3, and the circumferential flange 4 is formed with a lip portion 5 that protrudes outward.

[0007] The container 1 also has two layers of films 6 and 7 having the same shape as the contour of the flange 4, and the upper film 6 and the lower film 7 are positioned on the flange 4 in a state of being vertically overlapped. Is heat-sealed all around the flange 4. The upper film 6 constitutes a conventional sealing material, and is made of, for example, a material similar to a conventional material such as a multilayer film having easy peelability based on polyester and nylon.

The opening 3 of the container body in the lower film 7
As shown in FIG. 1, a portion corresponding to is formed by a cross-shaped bridge 8 that intersects with each other at the center of the opening 3, and this bridge 8 forms a fan-shaped take-out port 9 divided into four. I have. That is, the lower film 7 is
The lower film 7 is made of a material such as a plastic-based multilayer film that can withstand an extrusion pressure described later, for example, and constitutes a partition member that divides the opening 3 of the container body into a plurality of outlets 9. This container 1
Although not particularly limited, jelly made from konjac is stored in the container.

First, the consumer grasps the lip portion 6a of the upper film 6 and peels the upper film 6 from the container body 2 as shown in FIG. Next, the container body 2 is brought to the mouth, and a force is applied with a finger to crush the side wall of the container body 2, and the jelly 10 in the container body 2 is separated by the bridge 8 of the lower film 7 while the container body 2 is separated. It is extruded from 2 and enters the mouth in a state of being divided into four masses.

The outlet 9 of the lower film 7 is not particularly limited with respect to its shape and number.
Those shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B may be used. In FIG. 3A, the lower layer film 7 has five circular outlets 9. In FIG. 3B, a fan-shaped outlet 9 divided into five by five radially extending bridges 11 is formed.
