Description

Instant popcorn fryer {Instant popcorn fryer}

The present invention relates to an instant popcorn frying container in which popcorn packaged in a container is purchased and easily fried as popcorn at home or outdoors, and more specifically, while minimizing the volume of the container containing the popcorn corn, It relates to an instant popcorn frying container that can fundamentally solve the phenomenon of popcorn popping out of the container even if the contained popcorn corn expands as it is fried.

In general, popcorn can be obtained by adding additives to popcorn corn and expanding it as heat is applied. Such popcorn is relatively inexpensive and has a good texture, so it is a favorite food for adults as well as children.

Conventionally, as workers manually fried popcorn corn and put it in a separate container to sell, it was unhygienic because there was a lot of concern that the crispy texture was lost or dust was mixed in the process of putting the fried popcorn in a bag.

Therefore, a disposable popcorn corn container has been developed that can be fried and eaten cleanly and easily at home by putting popcorn corn in a separate container.

1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a conventional disposable popcorn corn container, and FIG. 2 is a fried state diagram of popcorn corn contained in a conventional disposable popcorn corn container. A certain amount of popcorn corn 20 inside the container body 10 is filled and closed with the cover body 30 to prevent the popcorn corn 20 from escaping.

The bottom surface of the container body 10 is blocked by the bottom plate 11 and the upper part is in the form of a gradually widened upper and lower narrow, and the upper part is molded of a material that can be cooked by a microwave oven in an open state, and the container body 10 is molded into a paper material in order to produce disposable products at a lower cost.

On the other hand, the top of the popcorn corn 20 filled in the container body 10 is blocked as shown in FIG. ), the outer circumferential surface of the cover body 30 is pressed against the inner wall of the container body 10 in a dense state by forcibly pressing along the inner wall of the cover body 10 .

Therefore, when the container body 10 containing the popcorn corn 20 is placed in a microwave oven (not shown) and power is applied, the popcorn corn 20 is expanded by the heat source and its volume is increased, so that the cover body 30 After being separated from the inner wall of the container body 10, it rests on the uppermost popcorn by its own weight, so that the popcorn can be taken out and eaten after removing the cover body 30 from the container body 10.

Korean Public Utility Model Publication No. 20-2015-0002093 (published on March 3, 2015) Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-155690 (published on September 1, 1999) Korea Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-329336 (Announced on October 10, 2003)

However, this conventional disposable popcorn corn container has the advantage that the consumer can directly purchase and then fry the popcorn corn in a simple and clean state using a microwave oven at home, but the following problems have occurred.

First, although the number of campers is increasing, it is not possible to fry popcorn corn using a burner or wood fire in a romantic camping place.

Second, it consists of a structure in which popcorn corn is put in a container made of paper and the cover is forcibly closed by pressing the lid, so if an impact is applied to the container during distribution, the lid is separated from the container and the popcorn is separated. There was a fatal defect. .

Third, since the container body is made of paper material, there is a problem in that some popcorn corn is not fried because there is a limit in transmitting electromagnetic waves generated by the driving of the magnetron to the container body when heating the container body in a microwave oven.

This phenomenon appears more conspicuously as the cover body pressing the container body separates from the container body as some popcorn corn is fried.

Fourth, in order to increase the capacity of popcorn to be fried, the size of the container body had to be made larger so that the cover body could not be separated from the container body.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems in the prior art, by improving the structure of the container to use a microwave oven at home, or to fry popcorn corn using a burner or wood fire at a camping site. The purpose there is

Another object of the present invention is to fundamentally solve the phenomenon in which the popcorn popped out of the container by accommodating the fried popcorn in the container while the cover rolled in a tornado is unfolded even if the popcorn corn contained in the container is fried and expanded there is

Another object of the present invention is to install a plurality of rings folded on the top of the container so that the rings act as a handle by unfolding the rings when frying popcorn corn.

Another object of the present invention is to always apply constant heat to popcorn in a container anytime and anywhere using solid fuel so that popcorn can be fried without burning.

According to the form of the present invention for achieving the above object, a receiving portion in which a certain amount of popcorn is accommodated in a seasoned state, a seating portion formed on the upper rim portion, and a seaming portion formed on the edge of the seating portion and rolled into the container. Wow; A cover made of a folding part folded in the shape of a hoehori, a flange part placed on the seating part of the container, and a breathing hole formed in the center; a paper cover installed on top of the cover to close the breathing hole; A support placed on the upper surface of the flange in a ring shape, installed rotatably at a predetermined interval on the support and at the same time installed alternately with adjacent rings to fold or unfold any one ring at the same time, or unfold and pack It consists of a guide consisting of a plurality of rings that minimizes the volume of the container, puts a certain amount of popcorn in the receiving part of the container, places the flange part of the cover and the support part of the guide in order on the seating part, and then rolls the seaming part inward and wraps it. A characterized instant popcorn frying container is provided.

Compared to the prior art, the present invention has the following several advantages.

First, adults as well as children can eat popcorn with a crispy texture by directly frying popcorn corn with their families anytime, anywhere using a burner or wood fire.

Second, when frying popcorn corn using a microwave oven, since a heating sheet is attached to the bottom of a container made of paper, the whole amount of popcorn corn can be fried uniformly.

Third, since the cover is folded in the shape of a hoe, even if the popcorn contained in the container is expanded, the cover is unfolded to accommodate the fried popcorn, thereby preventing the popcorn from popping out of the container.

Fourth, a plurality of rings are in a folded state in the container, and when popcorn is fried, the rings are kept open to the outside, so that even if the popcorn is fried and the cover is unfolded, the rings surround the cover as shown in FIG. In addition to preventing tearing, the unfolded ring serves as a handle.

Fifth, since it is heated to a uniform temperature using solid fuel, popcorn can be fried so as not to burn.

The container 100 has a receiving part 101 in which a certain amount of popcorn corn 130 is accommodated in a seasoned state, a seating part 102 formed on the upper edge, and a seating part 102 formed on the edge of the seating part 102 to It consists of a seaming part 103 that is dried with a furnace.

The container 100 is made of a thin aluminum plate or a paper material. When the container 100 is made of a paper material, a heating sheet 140 is attached to the bottom of the container 100 as shown in FIG. 7 .

The heating sheet 140 serves to increase the temperature when heat is applied, and since it is a well-known product, detailed illustration and description thereof will be omitted.

That is, when the container 100 is made of aluminum, it is used to fry the popcorn corn 130 contained in the container 100 using a burner or wood fire, and is made of paper material and a heating sheet on the bottom of the container 100 When 140 is attached, it has a feature that popcorn corn 130 can be fried using a microwave oven.

The cover 110 is composed of a folding part 111 folded in the form of a hoop, and a flange part 112 resting on the seating part 102 of the container 100. The material of the cover 110 is made of aluminum. Foil or oiled paper can be used.

When the popcorn corn 130 contained in the container 100 expands and increases in volume, the folded portion 111 in the form of a hoeholi expands upward as shown in FIG. It serves to keep them from leaving.

At this time, it is understandable that a breathing hole 113 may be formed in the center of the cover 110.

This is to allow moisture generated when the popcorn corn 130 is fried by applying heat to be discharged through the pores 113 so that the texture of the fried popcorn becomes crispy.

The guide 120 is composed of a ring-shaped support portion 121 resting on the upper surface of the flange portion 102 and a plurality of rings 122 rotatably installed on the support portion 121 at predetermined intervals.

A plurality of rings 122 rotatably installed at predetermined intervals on the support part 121 are installed on the support part 121 so as to cross each other with adjacent rings 122 as shown in FIG. 3 .

This is to minimize the volume during packaging by folding or unfolding a plurality of rings 122 at the same time when any one ring 122 is folded or unfolded, as well as to provide convenience since it serves as a handle during use.

In addition, when the breathing hole 113 is formed in the center of the cover 110, a paper cover (not shown) is further inserted between the flange 112 of the cover 110 and the support part 121 of the guide 120. It is more preferable to install and seam with the seaming part 103.

This is to prevent external moisture from penetrating through the breathing hole 113 .

It is understood that the container 100 of the present invention can be hermetically packed with a separate plastic bag 160 in a state where the instruction manual 150 is placed on the upper side of the guide 120 as shown in FIG. 4 .

8 is an exploded perspective view for explaining another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the coupled state of FIG. 170), a mounting portion 183 on which the case 170 is placed, and a pedestal 180 having an air communication hole 182 formed between the legs 181 is further provided.

This is to prevent the popcorn corn 130 contained in the container 100 from burning as the temperature generated when the solid fuel 172 is ignited is uniform.

The operation of the present invention is described as follows.

First, a certain amount of popcorn corn 130 with additives is put into the receiving part 101 formed in the container 100 made of aluminum sheet or paper material, and then the flange part 111 of the cover 110 is placed in the seating part 102 And after positioning the support part 121 of the guide 120 in order, the seaming part 103 is rolled inward and packed.

Although the container 100 packaged in this way may be distributed as it is, it is more preferable to seal it with a plastic bag 160 so that it can be distributed in a safer state.

Therefore, when frying popcorn corn 130 using a burner or wood fire outdoors, purchase a container 100 made of aluminum sheet material, and when frying popcorn corn 130 using a microwave oven at home, the container 100 made of paper ) to be purchased.

That is, when the container 100 made of a thin aluminum plate sealed with a plastic bag 160 is purchased, in a state where the plastic bag 160 is torn and removed outdoors, such as a camping site, any one of the rings 122 that has been folded is turned outward. When pulled, the plurality of rings 122 are assembled to cross each other, so that the plurality of rings 122 are simultaneously unfolded as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 .

In this state, when the container 100 is placed on a burner or wood fire, the container 100 made of a thin aluminum plate is heated, so the popcorn corn 130 contained in the container 100 is sequentially expanded.

In this way, when the popcorn corn 130 is expanded and changed into popcorn 131, its volume increases, and accordingly, the folded portion 111 of the cover 110 folded in the form of a hoop is gradually unfolded as shown in FIG. Since it swells upward, even if the popcorn corn 130 is expanded, it is prevented from being thrown out of the container 100.

At this time, a plurality of rings 122 are unfolded and wrapped around the outside of the container 100, so that the folded portion 111 is inflated in a stable state.
