For example, if you want to carry it on a trip such as climbing or picnic, you have to keep it in a backpack and carry it. At this time, the size is fixed, there was an uncomfortable problem of not using the space efficiently.

Accordingly, this cause proposed Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0442298 (name: food container).

The food container of the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0442298 of the present cause is made of a paper material as disclosed in the publication, the contents are stored therein, the upper part has an open space, and is folded vertically inward on both sides. The inner side has a folded portion, the bottom surface is folded to have a pyramid shape to the upper side, and the main body having a bottom contact folded portion is inserted into the contact with the upper surface of the main body with an adhesive fixed and the outer peripheral surface on the upper inner peripheral surface It is provided with an extension piece extending downwards to be in close contact with each other, and a cover 9 having a fixed piece extending outwardly on one front side thereof, and the fixing piece of the cover can cover the upper part of the main body when the main body is extended. It consists of being formed in front of the auxiliary cover having a width of a certain degree.

The food container of the present reason as described above is designed to expand and contract the area of the space of the main body in accordance with the folding of the side folded portion and the bottom folded portion. By expanding the area of the space to expand the area of the space by folding the fold and the bottom folds, the contents can be cooked and drinkable, so that the space can be efficiently used during transportation and storage, and can be easily used when traveling such as hiking. As a result, even when the main body was expanded, the upper part of the main body was easily closed to easily block the inside and the outside of the main body.

However, the food container of the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0442298 of the present cause as described above could not easily unfold the folds when the main body was unfolded, and even if it was difficult, it was difficult to fully unfold it.

That is, even when the folded parts of the main body are unfolded in a folded state, there is a problem in that the unfolded state cannot be stably maintained by returning or maintaining the folded parts without being fully unfolded.

Therefore, when the main body is unfolded and the food is cooked after drinking, the main body is returned to the folded state, causing an inconvenience such as overflowing the food.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the problem by structurally improving the food container of the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0442298 of the present cause as described above, the object of the present invention is a container for storing cup noodles that are instant food, Its variable area allows efficient use of space for transport and storage, making it easy to use when traveling, such as hiking or outings, especially for easy and complete unfolding of containers, and stable unfolding. It is to provide a food container that can be made.

Food container of the present invention for achieving the object of the present invention as described above has a space portion in which the contents are stored therein, is provided with a folded portion to be folded inward on both sides, the bottom is formed a folded portion folded up, In the food container to be able to vary the area as the folded portions are folded; The foldable portion is characterized in that a return means made of a shape memory alloy is provided.

The food container of the present invention made as described above can be varied in area according to the folding of the folded portions formed on the side and bottom, so that the space can be efficiently used when transporting and storing in the state where food is accommodated, such as hiking or picnic When traveling, it can be used easily, and especially by the return means provided in the folded portion, the container can be easily and completely unfolded as well as stably maintain the unfolded state.

That is, in response to the heat applied when cooking the food, the return means made of the shape memory alloy is unfolded while the folded portion is unfolded and the state can be maintained, and there is no problem that the container is reduced when the food is ingested. After the completion of the vessel, when the container is sufficiently cooled, the return means returns to the folded form in a circular shape, so that the folded portion can be easily folded, and the area thereof can be easily reduced, thereby simplifying reuse.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the food container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
