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 they are eaten, the types of foods are mixed together and then immediately or further heated with boiling water. There are some foods that are processed in the following manner before being eaten, but these include the first container containing the food and a different food (mainly syrups and spices).
A second container containing the liquid is provided separately from the first container, or two containers are divided into two by a partition plate and housed separately, and in the former case, the first container and the second container are separated. Because the containers are separate and separated, it is difficult to handle when selling or storing after purchase, and in the latter case, it is not possible to mix multiple foods unless you prepare a separate container and empty the food into that container. It has drawbacks such as being troublesome.

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 body forming a recess into which a second container can be inserted, and a second container having a flange formed on the opening side. It is.

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

As shown in FIGS. 1a and 1) and FIG. 3, the food container of this invention has a diametrically projecting flange 3 on the opening edge of the side wall 2, and a legged cup having a circular bottom 4. first shape
The container 1 has an approximately dome-shaped lid 7 having a flange 6 whose inner diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the flange 3, with the periphery of the opening 5 bent to one side by a certain dimension, and a slight taper at the center of the top. a lid 7 having a side wall 7A and a bottom 8 forming a recess 9;
A second container 10 is formed with a diametrically projecting flange 12 on the opening edge of the side wall 11, has a circular bottom 13, and can be tightly fitted into the recess 9.

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. 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 with the top part a little low, a recess 15 (Fig. 4) corresponding to the lid recess 9 will be formed at the top of the content vIJa, and then the filled content Freeze and solidify substance a.

Next, contents such as syrup to be sprinkled on ice confectionery, etc., are poured into the second container 10, and a container made of processed paper with a synthetic resin film formed on the entire surface of the collar 12 on the opening side is poured into the second container 10. After the egg-shaped lid 14 is attached and sealed by heating and pressurizing, the second container 10 is inserted into the four parts 9 of the lid 7 described above.

Next, in order for the purchaser to eat the contents a in the container, as shown in FIG. After removing the second container 10 by holding the part 14A, peel off the sealing member 14 of the second container 10 and remove the contents inside the second container 10 from the solid contents a inside the first container 1. Pour into the recess 15 and eat while stirring.

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.

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

In addition to food containers, this invention can also be used as a container for mixing two types of materials, such as containers for paint or chemicals.

Further, the shape of the first container 1 may be the above-mentioned cup with legs, or may be a simple cup, a cone-shaped container, or a box-shaped container.

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 A is poured into the filling hole (not shown) previously formed in the bottom 4 of the container 1, and the filling hole is sealed with a sealing member. As described above, this invention includes a first container having an opening and a recess that fits into the opening of the first container and into which a second container can be inserted. Since it is composed of a nearly dome-shaped lid and a second container with a flange formed on the opening side, multiple foods can be stored separately, so filling operations can be done in parallel, making it efficient. It is possible to integrate the containers after filling, the external dimensions after integration are not larger than the first container, and the same empty containers in the manufacturing process can be fitted and stacked, so the containers can be transported,
In addition to being convenient for stocking, there is a recess in the filled contents that corresponds to the recess into which the small container fits, so syrups can be placed in the recess in the shaved ice. It has the following effects: it does not run down when poured, does not impair the taste when eaten, prevents wastage of syrup, and looks good.
