Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a bento container for storing and transporting cooked food during catering and the like.

In the catering business, in order to prepare meals for various banquet halls, a large number of dining tables are brought in and arranged, and plates for serving various dishes and serving dishes are placed correctly on the dining tables. In addition to having to arrange the dishes, a great deal of effort and time must be spent on cleaning up after the dinner, and there is a problem in that dishes and other objects are easily damaged during this process. Ta.

A device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-9648 has already been proposed as a serving container with a lid that can deal with such problems.

In the case of such a conventional example, since a part (four corners) of the lid body is used to configure the dining table leg part, the dimension of the dining table leg part is limited by the height direction dimension of the lid body.
In addition to not being able to secure the appropriate height for a dining table,
Countermeasures cannot be taken easily.

Furthermore, in the above conventional example, since the lid is used as a dining table without being turned over, exudate from the cooked food, condensed water droplets, seasoning liquid, rice grains, etc. that adhere to the back of the lid fall out. In addition to the possibility of
When using the lid as a dining table or when cleaning up the table after a meal, touching the back of the lid can cause unsanitary and unpleasant discomfort.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a lunch container in which the height of the serving tray can be appropriately set and the serving can be served hygienically and without discomfort.

Hereinafter, the drawings showing one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
In this storage container, a rising peripheral edge 1b is erected from a bottom plate 1a to form a storage part 2, and an outer peripheral edge 1d is extended from the upper end of the rising peripheral edge 1b via a horizontal step part 1c. In the container 1, food may be stored directly in the storage section 2, but in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, partition plates 3, 3, .
A desired number of partition plates 3, 3, . . . are arranged to store food.

Reference numeral 4 is another member of the present invention, and is a lid body configured to serve as a dining table when serving a meal.A hanging edge 4b is provided around the top plate 4a to form an opening 5, and an opening 5 is formed on the outer surface of the top plate 4a. is formed by pivoting a pair of scripts 6, 6 so that they can be folded freely and maintained in an open leg state and a closed leg state. It is opened so that it can be placed freely on the rising peripheral edge 1b, and when the lid is closed, the tip edge of the hanging edge 4b comes into contact with the horizontal stepped portion 1c of the storage container 1 with the opening 5 facing down as shown in FIG. When serving, the storage container 1 is inserted into the opening 5, with the opening 5 facing up and supporting the back surface of the stepped portion 1c by the tip edge of the hanging edge 4b. The rising peripheral edge 1b of the opening can be fitted into the opening.

The illustrated leg body 6.6 is formed into a plate shape, has two legs with a large V-shaped notch 6' opening at the tip side, and is inserted into a recess 7 provided in the top plate 4a of the lid body 4. As shown in FIG. In this case, it is pivotally attached by fitting into shaft holes 10, 10 formed in side plate parts 9, 9 formed on both sides in the width direction.

Further, the legs 6, 6 are maintained in an open leg state and a closed leg state, and an appropriate mechanism may be used for this purpose, but in the illustrated example, the leg bodies are as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. A spring 12 and a steel ball 13 are attached to support parts 11, 11 fixed on both sides of the proximal ends of 6, 6.
The screws 14, 14 with internal holes are screwed through them, and the leg bodies 6,
Concave grooves 15, 15 into which the steel balls 13 protruding outward from both base ends of the legs 6 are fitted are provided in the open and closed positions of the legs 6, 6. By fitting the steel balls 13 into the legs 6, 15, the legs 6, 6 are held in their respective positions.

In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a decorative protrusion protruding from the recess 7 of the lid body 4, and in the illustrated example, it has a shape surrounded by notches 6' and 6' provided in the leg body 6.6, but it is shaped like a family crest. An appropriate one may be selected, such as simulating the above.

In addition, 17 in the figure indicates a decorative opening provided on the legs 6.6, and 18 indicates corner seats provided at the four corners of the bottom of the storage container 1. A surrounding portion 7' fits inside the seat 18 and serves to stabilize the stacked lunch containers.

Therefore, in order to use the bento container with the above structure, food must be placed directly into the storage section 2 of the storage container 1 or by
3. After storing the food using the lid 4, the lid 4 is fitted and transported, and when serving, the legs 6.6 stored in the recess 7 of the lid 4 are raised and opened, and the opening 5 is opened. It is sufficient to place the storage container 1 at a desired location in an inverted state with the storage container 1 facing upward, and to drop the rising peripheral edge 1b of the storage container 1 into the opening 5.

As explained above, the lunch container according to the present invention is
It consists of a lid that doubles as a storage container and a dining table, and the lid is
It has a size that can receive the storage container in its inverted state, and a pair of legs are pivotably attached to the top plate surface of the lid body at a relative interval so as to be foldable. There is.

Therefore, in the case of the lunch container according to the present invention, by using the lid as a serving table, meals can be served and the following effects can be obtained.

In other words, since the legs are foldably pivoted on the surface of the top plate of the lid, the length (height) of the legs is
This allows you to set the appropriate height as a dining table, and since the lid can be flipped over to receive the storage container, the backside of the lid is free from exudate from cooked food, condensed water droplets, etc. Even if seasoning liquid, rice grains, etc. are attached, there is no risk of them falling out, and even when using the lid as a serving table or cleaning up the table after a meal, you can avoid touching the deposits on the back of the lid. It does not cause any unsanitary or unpleasant sensations.
