Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cold food cover used to cover, for example, sashimi ware, or a set or table on which sashimi ware is arranged.

PRIOR TECHNOLOGY At Japanese banquets, sashimi is almost always served on the table, but a considerable amount of time may pass from the time the meal is served until the actual eating and drinking. Everyone has experienced the fact that sashimi is heated at room temperature, and even if it is made fresh, it may already lose its freshness and lose its taste.

In order to have customers eat sashimi at the most delicious temperature possible, a method recently adopted is to prevent the sashimi from heating up by placing a cold plate on the bottom of the sashimi bowl and placing the sashimi on top of it. . A cold plate is a plastic plate-shaped container with water sealed in it, and is used after being pre-chilled in a refrigerator. However, if it is too cold and the water inside is strongly frozen to the point where frost forms on the surface, the sashimi may become stuck to the surface of the cold plate due to the frost, so it is generally cooled to a temperature close to 0℃ before use. be done.

However, with that level of cooling, only a small amount of cold air is released, so the sashimi plate is not filled with cold air, and the cold air does not rise, so sashimi is strongly affected by the temperature of the room and is kept cold. Only the part near the bottom that comes into contact with the plate is cooled, and the difference in temperature between the top and bottom makes it feel strange when you eat it. Another disadvantage of using this cold insulation board is that a large amount of dew condensation will form on the surface of the cold storage board when it comes into contact with the warm air in the room, and the sashimi may become soggy due to the condensation water, significantly reducing its freshness. Ta.

Purpose of the Invention This invention aims to keep food cold, such as sashimi, where freshness and appropriate temperature are the deciding factors for deliciousness.If a cold insulation plate is used under the food, it cannot be expected to be sufficiently effective; Considering that it is effective, if you cover the plate or table on which such food is served, the inside will be filled with cold air, and the food will be kept uniformly cold throughout, ensuring that it stays at the appropriate temperature for a long time. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a food cover for keeping food cold.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention prevents food such as sashimi from coming into direct contact with outside air (air in the room) or cold insulation material, and also distributes cold air emitted from the cold insulation material evenly over the food. This is to ensure that it is distributed evenly.

That is, the configuration of the present invention to achieve the above object is to provide a bowl-shaped cover body with a holding part for a cold insulating material that radiates cold air, and to open the holding part into the cover main body so as to allow ventilation.
The gist is that when a dish is covered with food, the cold air descends and fills the inside of the dish and the bowl-shaped cover body, allowing the food on the dish to be kept uniformly at an appropriate temperature for a long period of time. shall be.

Embodiments FIGS. 1 and 2 show the present invention implemented as a cold food cover C that is placed over a sashimi plate P. The cold food cover C includes a bowl-shaped cover body 1 and a cloth bag for storing cold material. 6
It consists of

The cover main body 1 is formed into a bowl shape that fits inside the rim of the sashimi plate P, and the bottom of the top wall 2 is a holding part 3 made of cold insulation material. The ceiling wall 2 is formed flat so that the cold insulation material hits the bottom surface evenly.The cold insulation material is something that can be used repeatedly while regenerating its cooling capacity by cooling it in a refrigerator, such as a plastic container or the like. It is economical to seal the bag with water or starch glue.

As for how to hold the cold insulation material, one tape 5a of the hook-and-loop fastener tape 5 is pasted on the bottom surface of the ceiling wall 2, and the cloth bag 6 is
The other tape 5b is attached to the top surface of the tape.

The cover body 1 is preferably made of plastic, but may also be made of porcelain, paper, or the like.

In particular, when it is made of paper or plastic foam, it has high heat insulation properties, so it has excellent cold retention, and is also cheap, making it suitable for disposable use.

When using the above cold food cover C, the cold insulation material is placed in the refrigerator in advance so that the water inside is frozen. After arranging the sashimi on ll1IP, the cold insulation material is taken out from the refrigerator, stored in the cloth bag 6, and attached to the holding part 3 of the food cover C with hook-and-loop fastener tape 5, and then the food cover C Cover the sashimi plate P. In this state, the cold insulation material is separated from the sashimi, so even if the water in the cold storage material is frozen, there is no risk of freezing the sashimi, and the cold air coming from the cold insulation material descends and flows into the sashimi plate P. Because it is filled, the sashimi is evenly cooled. Furthermore, since the cold air is prevented from escaping to the outside and the cold air is stored within the food cover C, the cooling ability of the cold insulation material can be maintained for a long time. Therefore, even if a long time elapses from the time the sashimi plate P is placed on the table to the time it is eaten, the sashimi is kept at an appropriate temperature to keep it cool and delicious. Furthermore, since the cold insulation material does not come into contact with the outside air, dew condensation on the surface is prevented, and even if dew condenses, it is absorbed by the cloth bag 6, so there is no risk of it dripping onto the sashimi.

Other Embodiments FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the food cover C is
The cover body 1 and the receptacle for the cold insulation material are composed of a plate 8,
The tray 8 is removable.

The cover body 1 is drawn near its upper end to provide a protrusion 9 on the inside on which a tray 8 is hung. The receiving plate 8 has a side wall 10 curved inward, a holding part 3 made of cold insulation material is formed in the center part, and a ventilation hole 12 is provided around the holding part 3.
The holding portion 3 is opened in a detour into the cover body 1 through its ventilation hole 12 .

When the food cover 〇 is configured in this way, the cold air emitted from the cold insulation material rises once and then descends through the ventilation holes 12.
The sashimi plate P and the food cover C are filled with cold air, but since the cold air has a long downward path, there is little risk of the sashimi being supercooled to the point of freezing even if the cold insulation material is dry ice. Further, even if the cold insulation material shown in the previous embodiment is used without being stored in the cloth bag 6, since the cold insulation material is stored in the tray 8, there is no risk of condensed water dripping onto the food.

In addition, when attaching the cold storage 14D to the cover body 1,
By pushing the plate 8 into the cover body 1, the side wall 10 of the plate 8 elastically deforms and fits onto the protrusion 9, so that the plate 8 can be easily removed. It can be attached to.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show still another embodiment, in which the food cover C has a plurality of pins 13.
The holding portion 3 is constructed by protrudingly protruding from the pins 13 facing each other, and the protruding portion of the pin 13 on the cover body 1 is a thick portion so that the proximal end of the pin 13 can be embedded and fixed. 1
It is formed into 4.

When the food cover 〇 is configured in this way, the cold insulation material completely faces the sashimi as in the first embodiment, so a cold insulation material other than dry ice is suitable for use. When installing the cold insulation material, bend the pins 13.13... against their elasticity, and then tighten the pins 13.13...
By expanding the gap between them, it can be easily inserted into the holding part 3. In addition, the outer cloth 6 in FIG. 4 is
It does not necessarily have to be used.

The above explanation has been made using sashimi as an example of a dish that should be kept cold, but it is of course applicable to other dishes that are eaten cold.

Furthermore, it is also possible to form the cold food cover 〇 in a large size so that it can be placed over the top surface of a tray, tray, table, etc., on which a plurality of cooking dishes are arranged.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, the bowl-shaped cover body is provided with a holding portion for a cold insulating material that releases cold air, and the holding portion is opened in the cover body to allow ventilation, so that sashimi, etc. By covering food that is to be eaten cold, the cold air emitted from the cold insulation material can be spread evenly over the food, allowing the food to remain at an appropriate cool temperature for a long period of time without causing it to swell. It is possible to demonstrate the remarkable effect of being able to.
