Description

Folding blue plate

The present invention relates to a plate.

The plate is divided into several spaces for food, and it is a convenient food container that can contain rice, soup, and side dishes. Each space of the plate is filled with food directly or placed in another container.

Generally, it is formed in a regular form so that the same kinds of plates can be stacked and stored, and the role of several containers for storing food by type can be replaced by one plate, which is used as a personal tableware of group meals.

On the other hand, in recent years, the eating habits of eating food together in a single bowl have been changing, and eating habits once again have been reduced, Can be a factor in increasing the number of individuals eating food using plates.

In addition, as the number of members of the family is decreasing and even within the family, it becomes difficult for all the members to gather together at once to eat, and a small number of people are eating together, so that members often feel uncomfortable This situation also increases the number of people eating simple foods using plates.

These plates are often eaten by placing a plate on a table, but when an individual is to eat alone, it is less necessary to limit the place, so rather than placing the plate on the table of the restaurant, There is a problem to find a suitable place to put the plate.

Since conventional plates are formed integrally, there is a problem that it is difficult to arrange the side dishes separately or to use them as a general tableware.

In addition, there is a problem in that safety incidents can occur when children eat hot food because they can not know the temperature of the food.
