Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a method for holding large and small containers, especially cup-shaped containers and bowl-shaped containers containing instant food, so that they do not easily fall over. , relating to a pedestal for preventing containers from tipping over.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Instant foods made by storing dry foods prepared using conventional techniques in, for example, foamed plastic containers are manufactured and consumed in large quantities. This product is made by dehydrating and drying food that has already been processed and cooked, so if you pour a certain amount of boiling water into it and keep the container tightly closed for a few minutes, it will be ready for consumption. It is widely preferred by people because it allows them to prepare meals in an extremely short time.

The containers most commonly used for these instant foods are large and small cup-shaped or bowl-shaped containers with lids.

The problem to be solved by the invention is that when using such instant foods, it is necessary to keep the container tightly closed for a predetermined period of time after pouring boiling water into the container. At this time, during this waiting time, it often happens that the container comes into contact with the container and is accidentally tipped over. Especially when using ready-to-eat food for infants, it is not uncommon for infants to impatiently wait for the waiting period and try to remove the lid quickly, resulting in unexpected burns. That's not the point.

Therefore, in view of the actual state of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container tipping prevention pedestal for stably holding large and small cup-shaped or bowl-shaped containers and preventing them from tipping over easily. It's about doing.

Means for Solving the Problems The structure of the present invention to achieve the object is to provide an inner member and an outer member that can be stacked alternately. A flange is formed on the edge, and the outer member is formed from a tapered outer cylinder part and a tapered inner cylinder part that is integrally formed from the small diameter side opening of the tapered outer cylinder part toward the inside of the tapered outer cylinder part through the step part. The inner member can hold a pot-shaped container, the tapered outer cylinder can hold a large bowl-shaped container, and the tapered inner cylinder can hold at least one of a small bowl-shaped container and a bowl-shaped container. The gist is what we have done.

Therefore, when using this configuration, the pot-shaped container can be attached to the inner member housed inside the outer member and placed on a table etc. with the large diameter side opening of the tapered outer cylindrical portion of the outer member at the bottom. Ba,
Overall, this pot-shaped container can be held stably.

In addition, a small bowl-shaped container can be attached to the tapered inner cylindrical part of the outer member (therefore, it can be stably held with the large diameter side opening of the tapered outer cylindrical part at the bottom, and A large bowl-shaped container can be stably held by attaching it to the tapered outer cylindrical portion of the external member, with the small-diameter opening of the tapered outer cylindrical portion facing downward.

Furthermore, since the internal and external materials can be stacked alternately, it is convenient to store used containers without making them bulky.

It works as described above.

Example Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The container overturn prevention pedestal consists of an inner member 10 and an outer member 20 (FIG. 1).

The internal member 10 is formed by integrally forming the peripheral edge k of the large-diameter side opening 11a of the tapered cylindrical portion 11 and the collar 12.

The tapered cylindrical portion 11 is a cylindrical body having the same taper as the side wall taper of medium-sized or small-sized top-shaped containers P1 and P2 widely used in the instant food industry, and is suitable for use in these small-sized containers. It is assumed that PI and P2 can be inserted and held inside the tapered cylindrical portion 11 from the bottom thereof (FIG. 2). An annular protrusion 13 is formed on the lower surface of the collar 12, with an inclined wall 13a on the outside and an upright wall 13b on the inside (FIG. 1).

The outer member 20 is formed by integrally forming a tapered inner cylinder part 22 inside a tapered outer cylinder part 21. When the tapered outer cylinder part 21 is placed with its large diameter side opening 21a facing upward, there are
The dimensions are determined so that a large bowl-shaped container D1 can be attached thereto (FIG. 3). In addition, a plurality of notches 21 are provided at the peripheral edge of the large-diameter side opening 21a and the peripheral edge of the small-diameter side opening 21b of the tapered outer cylinder portion 21, respectively.

The tapered inner cylindrical portion 22 is connected to the small diameter side opening 2 of the tapered outer cylindrical portion 21.
When 1b is directed upward, the upper part of the tapered inner cylindrical part 22 can be used to attach and hold a small bowl-shaped container D2, and the lower part can be used to attach and hold a large bowl-shaped container P.
3 is formed with a step in the middle so that it can be attached and held (Fig. 4). Further, a stepped portion 23 is formed on the inner surface of the small diameter opening 21b of the tapered outer cylinder portion 21 so as to support the collar 12 of the inner member 10 (FIG. 2). is integrated with the tapered outer cylindrical portion 21 via this stepped portion 23. Further, at this time, the annular protrusion 13 on the lower surface of the collar 12 can be loosely fitted into the upper part of the tapered inner cylinder part 22, and the tapered cylinder part 11 of the inner member 1o can be fitted with a sufficient margin. , Taber inner cylinder part 22
It can be inserted inside.

The height of the tapered inner cylindrical portion 22 is determined to be suitable for supporting the bottom surface of the large bowl-shaped container D1 attached to the large diameter side opening 21a of the tapered outer cylindrical portion 21 (see Fig. 3). , notches 21e, 21e, .
It is assumed that the heights of . . . , .

Note that it is preferable that the inner member 10 and the outer member 20 are each manufactured by integral molding from a hard or semi-hard plastic material.

The overturn prevention pedestal for a container having such a structure is constructed by combining the inner member 10 and the outer member 20, and the large diameter side frontage 1 of the inner member 10.
Using 1a, make small and medium-sized pot-shaped containers PI, P

A large bowl-shaped container D1 can be held using the large-diameter side opening 21a (Fig. 3), and a small bowl-shaped container D1 can be held using the tapered inner cylindrical portion 22 of the outer member 20. It is possible to hold a container D2 and a large pot-shaped container P3 (FIG. 4). At this time, in any usage state, the portion that comes into contact with the table etc. is the upper edge or lower edge of the outer member 20, and the diameter of this portion is the same as that of each container P1.

Furthermore, since this product can store the internal material 10 inside the external material 20, even if these materials are stacked alternately in multiple tiers, the entire structure is extremely compact and can be easily stored after use. It is convenient for storing (Figure 5). In addition, the storage form at this time is such that the relative relationship between the internal material 10 and the external material 20 can be reversed (
Figure 6). However, in Figs. 5 and 6, the notches 21C121c..., 21e121e-... and the legs 21

Roughly speaking, the tapered inner cylindrical portion 22 of the outer member 20 does not need to be formed stepwise when holding only either the small bowl-shaped container D2 or the small-sized container P3.
In that case, it is also possible to form it into a simple tapered cylindrical portion.

Note that, depending on the shape and size of the container D1, the form in which the large bowl-shaped container D1 is held by the external member 20 may be as shown in FIG. 7 (A>or D) instead of FIG. It shall be permitted to do so.

Furthermore, another annular protrusion that is substantially symmetrical to the annular protrusion 13 on the lower surface side may be attached to the upper surface side of the collar 12 of the internal member 10. When stacking according to the form shown in Fig. 5, the inner material 1
Since the position of the upper external member 20 on the stack can be fixed, the stacking posture can be further stabilized.

In the above-mentioned current use, the dimensions of each part of the inner material 10 and the outer material 20 are the large and small cup-shaped containers P1, P2, etc., which are currently widely used in the instant food industry, and the bowl-shaped container [) 1 , [)2, the present invention can be easily applied to other similar containers. However, even in that case, the internal material 10
For convenience during storage, the shapes and relative dimensions of the outer material 20 and the external material 20 shall be selected so that they can be stacked alternately according to either the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6. .

As described in detail, according to the present invention, an inner member and an outer member that can be stacked alternately are combined, and the former forms a flange on the peripheral edge of the large-diameter opening of the tapered cylindrical portion, In addition, the winner has a tapered outer cylinder part and a stepped part from the small diameter side opening of the tapered outer cylinder part.
It consists of a tapered outer cylinder part and a tapered inner cylinder part integrally formed toward the inside of the tapered outer cylinder part.The inner member holds a pot-shaped container, and the tapered outer cylinder part holds a large bowl-shaped container. By being able to hold at least one of a small bowl-shaped container and a small-sized container, it is possible to stably hold various bowl-shaped or small-sized containers used in the instant food industry. Because you can
This has the excellent effect of effectively eliminating the risk of an unexpected burn injury caused by an infant or the like tipping over the container.

In addition, since the inner and outer members can be stacked alternately, there is a practical effect that the product does not take up much space when stored after use and can be handled as an extremely compact product.
