Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement of a packaging container that also serves as a cooking device for instant meals.

<Prior art> Conventional packaging containers of this kind are made by covering containers containing corn, butter, salt, etc., yakiniku ingredients, raw pizza pie, etc. in a container made of heat-resistant material such as aluminum foil or other metal foil. A heat-resistant resin sheet is attached to the inner surface of the container and wrapped around the folded rim of the upper end of the container, and a frame metal is also rolled into the folded rim so that the end of the frame protrudes outward for a long time. The handle had a U-shape in plan view or other shapes.

They are held by the handle and moved to prevent burning during cooking, carried around, or hung for display at stores. Due to the heating, the expanded air inside the container inflates the heat-resistant resin sheet upward, and the food can be cooked safely and quickly in the sealed container without bursting or splattering hot juices.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, the above-mentioned handle has a long part that protrudes outward from the container, and when the containers are fitted together and stacked in large numbers for transportation and storage, or when sold at a mass retailer, the handle cannot be used. The existence of such stores required extra storage space, which wasted space and made stores with high land prices inefficient, so improvements were requested.

<Means for solving the problem> The container of the present invention has a handle base configured by making the conventional long handle as short as possible, and when sold,
Alternatively, depending on the needs of cooking, etc., a long handle body can be detachably connected to the short handle base and the container by fitting a handle cover to form a handle.

<Operation> Slide the handle cover outward to align the exposed inner end of the handle body with the handle base of the container, and align the bent portion at the inner end of the handle body with the inner surface of the container and the upper edge rim. The handle cover is slid inward again to accommodate the handle base and the corresponding inner end of the handle body within the handle cover. In this way, the handle cover having the handle base and the handle body cored therein constitutes a handle of the required length that protrudes from the container.

<Example> The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is an overall perspective view of the container of the present invention in a state where the handle is attached, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the disassembled state.
is the handle that is the most important aspect of the present invention, B indicates the container, and 4 indicates the base of the handle. The handle A consists of a handle main body 2 mainly formed by bending a metal rod and a handle cover mainly made of cardboard.The handle main body is bent into a long U-shape in plan view, and the inner U-shaped part is downward. It is bent into a hook shape and has a horizontal shape when viewed from the side, and is curved along the periphery of the container. The handle cover 1 is mainly made of cardboard and may be folded in two to form a sheath shape, or may be formed into a square shape (notched square shape) by cutting out the center of the bottom surface, and can be slid on the outer periphery of the handle body. Possibly fitted. The handle material is preferably rock wool or other heat-insulating or heat-resistant material, but cardboard may also be used.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the handle body 2, in which the inner end is unconnected and the outer end is bent vertically and horizontally in a connected state, respectively. Note that if the U-shaped portion is the inner end, there is no risk of tearing the sheet.

Container B is a container body 3 made of aluminum or other metal foil.
The edge part of the heat-resistant resin sheet 5 covering the food 6 and the frame metal 4' are rolled into the upper end folded flange 3a,
The handle base 4, which is formed or attached by projecting the frame 4', projects outward from the container mouth end.

When the handle A is not needed, the handle body 2 is housed inside the handle cover 1, and only the bent locking part 2a at the inner end is exposed and the length is reduced, and the bent part is placed upward in the container. Either stack containers on top of each other and bundle only the handles together. In this case, the handle base preferably has short and small dimensions that fit in one diagonal corner of a rectangle circumscribing the container.

When using the handle, first slide the handle cover 1 outward by at least the length of the base of the handle to expose a long inner end as shown in FIG. The part is hung on the edge of the rim. In this case, when the handle body is attached to both outer sides of the handle base 4, the inner end of the handle 2 is reinforced. It is not inconvenient to place it along the top surface of the handle base 4. Handle cover 1
When the handle is slid toward the inner end again until it touches the outer end of the flange, a handle is formed that can support the container by gripping the handle cover 1 from the outside with the handle base 4 and handle body 2 as cores. The container is supported and swung on a stove or other heating device, and once the food 6 to be boiled, stir-fried, etc. is heated and cooked, it can be transported to a dining table or the like.

<Effect of the invention> By configuring the handle A separately from the container B, only the minimum short handle base 4 protrudes from the container. Exhibition space is reduced, packaging costs are reduced, and space can be used more effectively.

Since the attachment and detachment of the handle is done only by sliding the handle cover and hooking the bending locking part of the handle body, the handle A can be attached only by the handle base 4 and the handle cover, and no other attachment parts are required. . Handle A is handle base 4
It is reinforced by the handle cover 1, and even when the weight increases due to the addition of stock or water during food preparation, it is robust and has increased supporting capacity, and is more reliable in handling than conventional products.
