Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention covers the opening of the container with a fitting lid to maintain airtightness inside the container, and also to store the container inside the container when the lid is opened. This invention relates to an ice cream container from which a cone containing ice cream can be easily taken out.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of ice cream container has an outward-facing flange around the top opening of the container body, and the top surface of the top periphery of the cone filled with ice cream is approximately flush with the top surface of the flange. It is stored in such a state that the top is covered with a removable fitting lid,
As in Utility Model Application No. 56-17565 (Utility Model Application No. 57-131479), a pair of finger-rest notches are provided at the opening edge of the container body to facilitate the removal of stored cones. A technology has been disclosed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the ice cream container according to the above-mentioned prior art, it is very difficult to take out the cone containing ice cream from the container body, and the upper edge of the container body must be broken or Alternatively, you can insert your fingertip into the cone and pull it out upwards, but since the container body is generally made of a thin sheet of elastic synthetic resin, it is difficult to break. It has disadvantages such as being dirty and unsanitary.

The latter has a notch in the opening edge of the container body, which makes it very weak in terms of strength, and the ice cream cone is stored inside the container body.
When the opening of the container main body is covered with the fitting lid, outside air enters the container through the notch, and the airtightness inside the container, which is most required for an ice cream container, is not maintained and the outside air does not enter the container. Product value caused by contamination of ice cream due to adhesion of dust and bacteria, deterioration of flavor due to absorption of strange odors in the freezer or ice cream case during storage, deterioration of quality due to moisture, or shrinkage due to intrusion of dry air. There are many drawbacks due to the lack of airtightness inside the container, such as a decrease in
It is impossible to eliminate.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and has a pot-shaped interior with a hollow part for fitting a cone, and an outward-facing flange on the upper edge of the side peripheral wall. A lower end periphery of an upwardly bulging upper wall is removably press-fitted into a container body in which a plurality of concave portions each having a bottom wall portion are arranged at equal intervals in the flange portion of the container body. It is covered by a fitting lid body having a fitting part to maintain airtightness inside the container, and when the lid body is removed from the container body, it is easy to take out the ice cream cone stored in the cone storage hollow part. It is an ice cream container.

The structure of the container body A will be described below with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings.
The top edge of the side peripheral wall 3 is bent outward to form a flange 6, and the outer edge thereof is further curved downward to form a lid. A flange 8 forming the body locking wall 7 is formed, and the flange 8 has a plurality of recesses 10, 10, . They are integrally molded from thin sheets of elastic soft synthetic resin so that they are arranged at equal intervals.

The fitting lid body B has an outwardly directed flange portion 13 at the lower end periphery of the upper wall portion 12 that bulges upward, and a lid locking wall portion of the flange portion 8 of the container body A whose tip periphery is bent downward. 7. A plurality of inward protrusions 17, 17, . . . having inclined surfaces 16 projecting slightly upwardly inward are arranged at equal intervals on the lower end 15 of the peripheral wall of the outer peripheral wall 14, which is removably fitted to the outer peripheral surface. However, between the adjacent inward protrusions 17, 17, 17, 17... there is an air vent groove 18,
The ice cream container of the present invention is formed by integrally molding a thin plate of a hard transparent resin having elasticity, as shown in FIG. 18, and comprises the container body A and the fitting lid B.

(Function) The present invention has the configuration described above, and its function will be explained below. A cone C filled with ice cream D so as to rise upward is housed in the cone storage hollow 5 of the container body A, From above, cover the fitting lid B so that the flange 8 of the container body A faces the lower end opening, and press the lid B downward so that the outer upper edge of the flange 8 is directed inward. Projection part 1
7, 17... are pressed against the inclined surfaces 16, 16... of the fitting lid body B to push the outer circumferential wall 14 of the fitting lid body B outward and to allow the air inside to escape to the outside through the air vent grooves 18, 18... The flange 8 passes through the protrusions 17, 17... and fits above the upper edge 19, 19... of the container body A, and the outer circumferential wall 14 returns to its original state due to elasticity, and the flange The lower end peripheral edge 20 of the lid B is in pressure contact with the inner surface of the outer peripheral edge 14 of the lid B, and the upper surface of the flange 6 of the collar 8 is in contact with the flange 13 of the lid B.
The container body A is fitted onto the lid body B in contact with the lower surface, and there is no risk of it coming off. Since the concave portions 10, 10 are formed with the bottom wall portions 9, 9 instead of the notches in the prior art, when the fitting lid B is fitted onto the container body A, the tip of the flange portion 8 of the container body A is The outer circumferential edge 19 is in close contact with the inner surface 20 of the outer circumferential wall portion 14 of the fitting lid B, thereby blocking the circulation of outside air and maintaining airtightness within the container.

Further, when the fitting lid B is removed from the container body A, this can be easily done by holding the container body A and pulling the lid B upward.

(Effects) The present invention having the above-described configuration and operation is such that when the fitting lid B is fitted and covered on the container body A, the contact portion between the container body A and the lid B is completely in contact with each other, and the inside of the container is closed. Keep the ice cream in the container airtight, and the ice cream in the container will be contaminated by dust and bacteria caused by the intrusion of outside air, deterioration of flavor due to deterioration and absorption of bad odors, deterioration of quality due to moisture, and shrinkage and weight due to dry air. It is possible to prevent damage such as a deterioration in product value due to a decrease in

In addition, consumers who purchased ice cream stored in the container of the present invention should remove the fitting lid and take out the ice cream cone from the container body A by using two fingertips to pass through the recess provided in the flange of the cone. By pinching the upper edge and pulling it upward, it has excellent practical effects such as being able to easily pull it out without getting your hands dirty.
