Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an article storage container, and particularly to a container suitable for storing contents such as a plurality of types of foods.

When manufacturing and selling snacks with jam or chocolate sauce, a composite container is used to store the jam or chocolate sauce and the snack separately, and when eating, the jam or chocolate sauce can be added to the snack according to each person's preference. It is preferable to

Therefore, conventionally, in line with this purpose, a container having two storage parts is integrally molded, for example, from synthetic resin, and the first part stores snacks, and the second part stores jam or chocolate sauce. Ta.

However, according to such containers, the first
Both the first part and the second part must be made of the same material, and different materials cannot be used depending on the contents.

Furthermore, since the first portion and the second portion are covered by a common single lid, there is a risk that the two types of foods will be mixed during transportation, which is not preferable.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and includes an annular outer container having an opening on the top surface, and an inner container that can be freely fitted inside the annular outer container and has an opening on the top surface. and a lid attached to the outer container and capable of shielding the upper surface of the inner and outer containers, sealing at least one of the openings of the inner and outer containers, and
The present invention relates to an article storage container configured such that the lid prevents the inner container from escaping from the outer container.

Therefore, the outer container and the inner container can be made of different materials, and by sealing the inner container, it is also possible to fill the container with liquid.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a container for storing snacks with jam or chocolate sauce.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this container includes an outer container 1 and an inner container 2.

The outer container 1 has a donut-shaped cup shape.

That is, the upper surface is an opening 3, and a truncated conical protrusion 4 is formed approximately at the center thereof, and the inside of this protrusion 4 is hollow.

This portion constitutes the holding portion 5.

Note that the protruding portion 4 is not provided with a bottom plate portion, and has a shape with a hollow bottom.

A rib 6 extending inward is integrally connected to the upper end of the protrusion 4, and the rib 6 receives the inner container 2.

The outer container 1 is made of a common synthetic resin, such as polyethylene, and does not have air barrier properties (non-breathable properties).

On the other hand, the inner container 2 is configured in a cup shape like a conventionally known ice cream container, and has an open lower upper part.

Note that ribs 8 projecting outward are integrally connected to the edge of the opening.

The peripheral edge of a circular aluminum foil 9 is adhered to the rib 8 for sealing.

The inner container 2 is made of a material with air barrier properties, such as a saponified copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, or nylon, which is laminated to form a bottom. It is now possible to store.

The lid 10 used for this container is configured approximately in the shape of a disk,
Avoid using transparent synthetic resin molded products.

As particularly shown in FIG. 3, a ring-shaped recess 11 is formed on the peripheral edge of the lid 10, and is recessed upward.
This recess 11 engages with a rib 12 formed on the opening edge of the outer container 1, so as to cover the entire container.

Further, a circular recess 13 recessed upward is formed approximately in the center of the lid 10, and is configured to receive the upper part of the inner container 2 held by the holding portion 5.

Next, a method of using this container having the above structure will be described.

First, jam or chocolate sauce is stored in the inner container 2.

Then, the open lower part of the container 2 is closed and sealed with aluminum foil 9.

Then, since the material constituting the inner container 2 and the aluminum foil 9 have air barrier properties, air circulation with the outside is cut off, and the jam or chocolate sauce in the container 2 is prevented from spoiling. .

Furthermore, since the opening lower part of the container 2 is sealed with aluminum foil 9, the food in the container 2 will not spill out and mix with the food in the outer container 1 during transportation.

The snack is then stored in the outer container 1.

Since this outer container 1 is made of a material that does not have air barrier properties, it is preferable that the snacks stored in this container 1 are hard to perish.

The snacks are stored in a storage space 14 formed along the circumferential direction radially outward of the protrusion 4 of the container 1.

Then, the inner container 2 is inserted into the holding portion 5 of the outer container 1 and held with the ribs 8 placed on the ribs 6.

Finally, the lid 10 is placed over the opening 3 of the outer container 1.

Then, the concave portion 11 of the lid 10 and the rib 12 of the container 1 are fitted in a convex-concave manner.

The outer container 1 is thereby closed by the lid 10.

At this time, the circular recess 13 of the lid 10 is inserted into the holding part 5.
The upper part of the inner container 2 held by the inner container 2 is placed in the receiver, and the inner container 2 is held in place against the outer container 1.

Next, when purchasing and eating food contained in such a composite container, the lid 10 is first removed.

Then, the snacks contained in the storage space 14 of the outer container 1 can be taken out.

Regarding the inner container 2, the aluminum foil 9 is removed while it is being held in the holding part 5 or after being removed from the holding part 5.

Then, the jam or chocolate sauce in the container 2 may be dipped in the snack and eaten.

Furthermore, if necessary, the inner container 2 can be removed from the outer container 1 and the snacks in the outer container can be poured.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, the articles to be stored in the inner container and the outer container are not limited to those of the above embodiments, and various combinations are possible.

Specifically, for example, ice cream with sauce,
It may also be used to store foods such as dango with sauce and dango with sauce.

Furthermore, the combination of materials for the inner container and the outer container can be changed in various ways depending on the items to be stored.

Furthermore, the sealing is not necessarily limited to the inner container, and the outer container may also be sealed.

In this case, if Lamicon (trade name) is used for both containers, the containers will be used to store retort food.

Further, the shapes of the outer container and the inner container can be changed to various shapes such as a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon, etc. in addition to a circle.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the container is composed of an annular outer container and an inner container that can be freely fitted inside the annular outer container, these two are different from each other. It can be made from materials.

Therefore, different contents can be stored in the outer container and the inner container, respectively.

That is, this feature works extremely effectively when one of the above-mentioned contents particularly requires ventilation.

Further, since the inner and outer containers are combined with each other to form a single body, the article storage container of this invention can be constructed extremely compactly.

Furthermore, since at least one of the outer container and the inner container is sealed, the container to be sealed can be filled with liquid.

Further, since the inner container is configured to be held in the holding part of the outer container, the inner container can be removed from the holding part and the contents thereof can be poured over the contents of the outer container and mixed.
