Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a food container, and more specifically, to a compound container for foods, etc. that can separately accommodate multiple types of foods, liquids, etc.

Conventionally, multiple types of foods are placed in separate containers to avoid deteriorating their quality and flavor, and when eaten, the multiple types of foods are mixed together and then heated immediately or with boiling water etc. Are there any foods that are made to undergo further processing before being eaten?These include a first container containing food and a second container containing a different food (mainly syrups and spices). It is provided separately from the first container, or it is housed separately in a container divided into two by a partition plate, and in the former case, the first container and the second container are separated separately. Therefore, it is difficult to handle when selling or storing after purchase, and in the latter case, there are drawbacks such as the fact that it is difficult to mix multiple foods unless a separate container is prepared and the food is poured into the container.

Furthermore, when syrup is poured over the top of ice cream or shaved ice confectionery, the syrup flows to the outside and is wasted, looks bad, and also has the disadvantage of impairing the taste.

This invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its features include a first container with an opening formed therein, and a second container that fits into the opening of the first container and is located in the center. To provide a food container characterized by comprising a substantially dome-shaped lid in which a recess is formed to become a second container, and a sealing member stuck to the opening of the recess to become the second container. It is something.

An embodiment of this invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIGS. 1a and 1) and FIG.
A first container 1 in the shape of a cup with legs and having a circular bottom 4, and a flange 6 whose inner diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the flange 3 by bending the periphery of the opening 5 to one side by a certain dimension. The second container 1 is formed by forming a concave part 9 with a side wall part 7A having a slight taper at the center of the top of the almost dome-shaped lid body 7 and a bottom part 8.
It is configured as 0.

The first and second containers 1, 10 and the lid 7 are all formed by injection molding using synthetic resin for casting.

The food container of this invention has the above-mentioned structure, and when used as a container, first, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example, ice cream is placed in the first container 1. After filling the container with a heaping amount of contents a such as ice cream or shaved ice cream, a dome-shaped lid 7 is fitted onto the opening side of the container using the flange 3.

At this time, if the content a is filled so that the top part thereof is slightly lowered, a recess 15 (Fig. 4) corresponding to the lid recess 9 will be formed at the top of the content a, and then the filling will be completed. Freeze and solidify content a.

Next, contents such as syrup to be poured onto shaved ice confectionery, etc., are poured into the second container 10, and an egg-shaped container made of processed paper with a synthetic resin film formed all over the edge 12 on the opening side is poured into the second container 10. The lid body 14 is attached and sealed by applying heat and pressure.

Next, in order for the purchaser to eat the contents a in the container, as shown in FIG. Peel off the sealing member 14 of the second container 10 using the tongue portion 14A, pour the contents in the second container 10 into the recess 15 of the solid contents a in the first container 1, and while stirring. eat.

Therefore, when eating, the contents do not flow out from the recess 15, so there is no waste, and the food can be eaten in an elegant manner.

The shape of the lid 7 may be other than a substantially dome-like shape, for example, a truncated cone, a cylinder, or a prismatic/pyramidal shape.

Furthermore, this invention can naturally be used not only as a food container but also as a composite container for paint or chemicals, which uses a mixture of two types of materials.

Furthermore, the shape of the first container 1 may be a simple cup, a cone-shaped container, or a box-shaped container other than the aforementioned shape of a cup with legs.

Furthermore, as a means for filling the contents a, the first container 1
After the lid 7 is attached to the container 1, the filling liquid may be poured into the liquid through a filling hole (not shown) previously formed in the bottom 4 of the container 1, and the filling hole may be sealed with a sealing member. good.

As mentioned above, this invention consists of a first container having an opening, and a nearly dome-shaped lid that fits into the opening of the first container and has a recess formed in the center to become a second container. Since the container is composed of a container and a sealing member that is attached to the opening of the recess that serves as the second container, it is possible to store a plurality of foods separately, and the filling operation can be performed in parallel, which is efficient. Since they can be integrated after filling, the external dimensions after integration are not larger than the first container, and identical empty containers can be fitted and stacked during the manufacturing process,
In addition to being convenient for transporting and stocking containers, there is a recess in the filled contents that corresponds to the recess into which the small container fits, so syrups can be easily stored in shaved ice. When poured into a recess, the syrup does not run down to the outside, does not impair the taste when eaten, and prevents wastage of syrup.
It also has the effect of looking good.
