Description

Container and container combination

The present invention relates to a container and container combination, and more particularly to a container combination having a food and a sauce.

When purchasing food and beverages, users often need to take food in one hand and drink in the other, which causes inconvenience in diet, and it is necessary to put down the beverage before eating.

Therefore, there is a composite container that combines a food container and a beverage cup, as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. M457704, which discloses a "cap container" having an annular receiving groove for receiving food, and a The buckle portion is fastened to the opening of the corresponding diameter of the container; the container cover is installed at the mouth of the beverage cup, and in addition to providing the function of the lid, the container can be used to hold popcorn and other foods for convenience Use drinking and food.

However, the aforementioned container is suitable for use in non-sticky foods such as popcorn, such as French fries, potato chips or chicken nuggets. When consumers are accustomed to eating food together with sauce, additional preparations are required. The sauce box is filled with sauce. If you watch a movie in a movie theater, you can bring food such as French fries, potato chips or chicken nuggets into the field while watching the movie while eating food. There is no food and sauce in the movie room. On the desktop of the box, the user often needs to take the sauce box on one hand, the other hand to take the food to the sauce, or put the sauce box on the armrest of the seat, and then take the food to pick it up. Convenient and there is a risk of overturning the sauce box.

In view of this, the main object of the present invention is to provide a container combination for placing food and sauce.

a first container, comprising a first convex portion, and a first receiving groove; the first convex portion is slightly hollow, protruding upward from the center of the bottom surface of the first container, and is first Forming a lower opening in the bottom surface of the container, forming a coupling groove between the first convex portion and the lower opening; the first receiving groove is an annular groove surrounding the outer periphery of the first convex portion, and forming a top end of the first container An upper opening; and the container is detachably disposed on the other container having the convex portion by the accommodating groove.

a second container, wherein the first container is detachably coupled to the second container, and the first container has an outer diameter size and a height dimension smaller than the second container, and the second container is provided with a second convex portion a matching groove of the first container and a shape of an upper portion of the second convex portion of the second container; the first container is placed on top of the second convex portion of the second container by using a coupling groove, the first container and the first container After the two containers are combined, the first container is located at the upper side of the center of the second container.

The present invention can further provide a snap portion on the bottom surface of the second container for corresponding beverage containers of different caliber sizes, such as a bottle mouth of a PET bottle, a can end of an aluminum can, and a cup mouth of a beverage cup. a step-shaped annular groove extending upward from the lower opening of the second container; and further providing a through hole or a slit in the top surface of the second convex portion of the second container to communicate with the lower opening, the convex portion of the first container The top surface is opposite to the position of the second container through hole, and a through hole or a slit is further provided to facilitate the insertion of the straw.

The above-mentioned technical means, the user can place food such as French fries, potato chips or chicken nuggets in the second accommodating groove of the second container, and place the sauce in the first accommodating groove of the first container; The user can directly take the food such as French fries, potato chips or chicken nuggets in the first container, and take the sauce in the first container at the center.

The new type of this technology has the following characteristics:

1. The first container and the second container are simple in construction and easy to form;

2. Users do not need to prepare additional sauce boxes when eating food such as French fries, potato chips or chicken nuggets;

3. Since the second accommodating groove is located between the outer periphery of the second convex portion and the outer wall of the first two containers, the user can take food such as French fries, potato chips or chicken nuggets from the edge of the second container; and because of the size of the first container Less than the second container, so the first container only shields a portion of the opening of the second container, and is not blocked by the first container when the food is taken;

4. When used in a place where the light is insufficient, such as a movie theater, since the first container for holding the sauce is located at the upper side of the center of the second container, the user can smoothly pick up the sauce without specifically confirming the position of the sauce.

5. The user can further join the beverage container, such as a PET bottle, an aluminum can, a beverage cup, etc., and insert the straw into the beverage container to obtain the access to the second container. Food, the purpose of drinking a drink while dipping sauce.
