Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container for storing an ice cream cone.

Conventional containers of this type store the entire wafer cup within the cup body, making it inconvenient to remove the wafer cup from the container. For this reason, a structure has been devised in which a recess is formed at the mouth edge of the cup body, through which the wafer cup can be taken out by inserting a finger. However, when a concave portion is formed, there are disadvantages such as poor sealing and cracks occurring in the concave portion during manufacturing or when attaching/detaching the lid.

The ice cream container of the present invention is intended to eliminate such inconveniences.
The rim of the cup body made of thin plate is bent outward,
By forming a groove body having an inverted U-shaped cross section and opening downward, and providing a recessed part in a part of the mouth rim, and forming a shallow groove at the bottom of the recess, the mouth rim can be improved. The portion near the circumferential edge of the lid is approximately cylindrical as in the conventional case, providing an excellent sealing effect and preventing cracks from occurring due to punching operations during manufacturing or deformation during attachment and detachment of the lid.

The present invention will be explained with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.
Reference numeral 10 denotes a container of the present invention, which is entirely composed of a cup body 12 made of a substantially thin plastic plate. The mouth edge 14 is bent toward the outside of the cup body 12 to form a groove 16 having an inverted U-shaped cross section and opening toward the bottom. Concave portions 18 are provided at two opposing locations on the mouth edge portion 14. This concave portion 18 is formed by forming a part of the groove body 16 into a shallow groove 16a. Shallow depression 2 on the outer periphery of the mouth edge 14
0 is formed.

This container is used as follows. A wafer cup 22 and an ice cream 24 are placed inside the container 10.
is stored, and the lid 26 is fixed by fitting its end 26a into the recess 20 at the edge of the container.
When eating ice cream, remove the lid 26 upwards, insert your fingertips into the container through the concave portion 18, and lift the wafer cup 22 to remove it from the container 10 (fifth step).
(see figure).

Therefore, since this container has a concave portion, it is extremely easy to remove the wafer cup.

As can be seen from the above, the recessed portions 18 can be provided at one or several locations, and it is particularly convenient to provide the recessed portions 18 at two opposing locations as in the above example, since the wafer cup can be pinched.

Since the concave portion 18 is formed by a shallow groove 16a and has a substantially cylindrical portion at the bottom thereof, when the lid 26 is attached, the inside is completely covered without any gaps, which is sanitary. In addition, since the container edge is circular, the manufacturing method that is common for this type of container, in which a large number of containers are successively molded from a single flat plate and then cut into individual containers, requires circular punching. A cutter can be used, and it can be manufactured at low cost. Also, at this time, the punching cutter is in the concave part 1.
Since the circumferential edge of the approximately cylindrical mouth edge separated from 8 is punched out, the recessed portion, which is prone to cracking due to the high degree of processing, will not be affected and cracks will not occur. Furthermore, when the lid 26 is attached to and removed from the cup body 10, the mouth edge 14 is deformed, but since the concave part 18 is separated from the peripheral edge of the mouth edge, the circumferential surface of the concave part 18 and the side surface of the groove body 16 are deformed. The joint portion with the wire is not exposed at the peripheral edge, and therefore cracks are less likely to occur.

As mentioned above, the ice cream container of the present invention is very practical because it is easy to remove the wafer cup and there is no problem of poor sealing or cracking.
