Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a soft-serve ice cream container that allows soft-serve ice cream to be stored in an appropriate state and taken home from a store.

In general, in order to keep soft serve ice cream in its proper state, in other words, the cream part needs to maintain its specified shape without freezing or melting -5~5
Must be kept at -10°C.

This is because soft serve ice cream will freeze solid if the temperature is above 110°C, and will melt if the temperature is below -5°C.

On the other hand, in the past, dry ice wrapped in silver paper or the like was placed in a simple container containing Western confectionery to prevent the Western confectionery from deteriorating in quality due to the cold air from the dry ice.

However, in this case, no consideration was given to trapping the cold air from the dry ice inside the container, so most of the cold air leaked out of the container, resulting in extremely low cooling effect. Therefore, there is a problem in that Western confectionery deteriorates in quality when left for a long time even during take-out time.

For this reason, a device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 5357069 has been proposed in which cold air from dry ice stored in a container is trapped within the container.

The idea described in this publication is to surround the inside of the confectionery box with a cold insulation frame to prevent the cold air inside the confectionery box from leaking.

However, in this design, the dry ice is placed outside the cold storage frame, so the cold air from the dry ice is blocked by the insulation of the cold storage frame itself, making it difficult to reach the inside of the cold storage frame. In addition, since the top of the dry ice is only covered by the box body of the candy box, most of the cold air leaks directly from above to the outside, which not only reduces the cooling effect inside the candy box, but also reduces the amount of leakage. However, there was also the disadvantage that the dry ice sublimated faster and was completely sublimated in a short period of time.

The present invention was made in view of the above points, and it insulates the soft-serve ice cream stand whose bottom and sides are shielded, and the frame with open upper and lower surfaces that engages with the soft-serve ice cream stand and forms a cold storage chamber. By providing a dry ice storage case molded from a flexible material and mounted on the frame body to cool the cold storage chamber, the dry ice storage case located on the top surface of the cold storage chamber in which the soft serve ice cream is stored leaningly is provided. To provide a cold ice cream container which is kept at -5 to -10°C by being cooled with dry ice, can store soft serve ice cream in a proper state, and can be taken home from a store.

Another object of the present invention is to cover the cold container body formed by assembling the soft serve ice cream stand, frame and dry ice storage case with a cover having a handle, thereby making it easy to hold and having a good appearance. We provide ice cream containers for soft serve ice cream.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The soft-serve ice cream holder 1 is formed of a heat-insulating material such as styrofoam, and has a plurality of soft-serve ice cream insertion portions 2 whose entire bottom and side portions, into which the handle B of the soft-serve ice cream A is inserted and propped up, are shielded. It has a retaining step 3 at the corner.

The frame body 4 is made of a heat insulating material such as styrofoam in the same manner as above, and has an open upper and lower surface, and a retaining stage that engages with the retaining stage 3 of the soft-serve ice cream stand 1 at the opening edge of the lower surface. A portion 5 is formed.

A cold storage chamber 6 is formed by engaging and assembling this frame 4 with the soft serve ice cream stand 1.

The frame 4 is formed into a tapered shape so that it does not take up much space even if a large number of them are stacked.

The dry ice storage case 7 is fitted into and covered with the open top surface of the frame body 4, and has an open top surface and is provided with a lid body 8, and an edge of the top surface extends laterally to form a flange 9. are doing.

Further, the dry ice storage case 7 has a cold air hole 10 on its bottom surface, and this cold air hole 10 is determined by the volume of the cold storage chamber 6, the season (temperature) in which it is used, and the material of the storage case itself, that is, its thermal conductivity. The temperature inside the cold storage room 6 is -5 to -10℃ depending on the quality.
It is formed to a number and size that are maintained in the .

Note that if the material of the dry ice storage case 7 itself has extremely good thermal conductivity, the cold air holes 10 may not be formed as necessary.

The integrated cover 11 covers a cold storage container body 12 formed by assembling the soft serve ice cream stand 1, the frame 4, and the dry ice storage case 7, and creates a sealed cold storage space 11a between the outer periphery of the cold storage container body 12 and the outside of the cold storage container body 12. is formed.

This cold storage space 11a surrounds the outer periphery of the cold storage chamber 6, and prevents conduction of heat from the outside without directly exposing the cold storage chamber 6 to the outside air, thereby controlling the temperature inside the cold storage chamber 6. It functions to keep it constant.

Also, on the top surface of this cover unit 11, there is a handle 13 for hanging.
It is made of paper, synthetic resin, etc.

Therefore, in the cold storage container of the present invention, cold air flows from the dry ice storage case 7 into the cold storage chamber 6 through or without the cold air hole 10', and the soft serve ice cream A is stored inside this cold storage chamber. Keep at a temperature range of 5-5 to 10℃ suitable for storage,
This is to preserve the stored soft serve ice cream A in an appropriate state.

It should be noted that the shape, size, etc. of the container of the present invention do not matter.

As described above, the present invention includes a soft-serve ice cream stand whose bottom and sides are shielded, and a frame body with open upper and lower surfaces that engages with the soft-serve ice cream stand to form a cold storage chamber, made of a heat-insulating material. , a dry ice storage case is provided on the frame body to cool the front cold storage chamber, and the upper part of the cold storage chamber is covered with a heat insulating lid body while the dry ice storage case is included in the cold storage chamber. Therefore, the entire circumference of this cold storage room is surrounded by a heat insulating material, which thermally isolates it from the outside, while also isolating the cold storage room from the outside air with a cold storage space to prevent heat from the outside air. Since the conduction of the ice cream is prevented, the temperature inside the cold storage room where the soft serve ice cream is stored is set to a temperature suitable for storing the soft serve ice cream, and the soft serve ice cream can be stored in an appropriate condition and can be taken home from the store. It has the advantage of being easy to use and suitable for low-cost mass production.
