Description

Box lid combined with cutlery

The present invention relates to a box cover, in particular to a box cover that can be combined with tableware.

As the population structure and lifestyle change, the number of people eating out continues to increase. In the past two years, the COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the rise of food delivery platforms, making the consumption model of food out more mainstream. In response to the large number of food out orders, catering operators must prepare corresponding free-of-charge orders. The dishes are washed for consumers to use, but the disposable tableware becomes a large amount of waste after use.

After consumers purchase outside food, they may eat in places such as stations and outdoor rest areas. In such environments, it is difficult to place tableware in a fixed manner. In order to improve the convenience of eating out, for example, the Republic of China Patent No. M568833 discloses a cup lid structure that can hold food and also function as a cup lid. Consumers can place food or tableware on the serving plate on the cup lid. . There are also openings designed on the cup lid for inserting the handles of tableware to prevent the tableware from being scattered everywhere. Another example is the Republic of China Patent No. M541998, or the Republic of China Patent No. M389097, which provides notches around the cup lid. Cutlery can be placed.

Although the above-mentioned patent case can partially improve the convenience of eating outside, it can be seen from the above description that the general portable tableware-type box lid still has the following shortcomings in actual use:

1. Eating convenience is still insufficient: It is known that although the conventional box lid provides a structure for placing and fixing tableware, it only improves the convenience of placing tableware. However, when consumers or stores forget to prepare tableware, it will still cause the inconvenience of having no tableware for outdoor dining.

2. Unable to reduce the number of disposable tableware: Since outside food containers and tableware are not produced in groups, catering operators still need to purchase additional tableware when preparing outside food containers, and need to arrange additional people to arrange and count them. This cannot save the cost of the industry, nor can it reduce the number of disposable tableware. quantity.

3. Unable to reduce costs: In the early days, the main design of the box lid with tableware was that the lid was a main body and the tableware was a main body. The lid was equipped with a buckle structure, which could clamp and fix the tableware in the lid. The buckle structure must be made of plastic. , and the box lid and tableware must be manufactured separately, and then combined after the box lid and tableware are manufactured. The above manufacturing process cannot reduce any steps, so the manufacturing cost cannot be reduced.

Therefore, how to provide a box cover that reduces the materials required for making tableware, reduces manufacturing costs, and provides convenience for eating is an urgent goal that relevant technical personnel need to strive for.

The purpose of this new model is to provide a box lid that is combined with tableware. The tableware can be made directly from the lid material, and the tableware can be used directly after tearing it off. In addition to its original function of sealing the container, the lid material can be used for a second time as tableware material.

The box cover combined with tableware includes a cover body and a tableware.

The cover body includes a bottom wall and a receiving portion provided on the bottom wall.

The tableware is detachably arranged in the accommodating part and includes a holding part and a ladle part connected to the holding part. The tableware is integrally formed with the cover.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the tableware is arranged in the accommodating part, and the highest point of the tableware is coplanar with the surface of the cover.

Another technical means of the present invention is to provide cutting lines around the tableware.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the spoon portion of the tableware has a plurality of forks.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the grip part and the dipper part are formed in one piece.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the cover further includes a surrounding wall surrounding the edge of the bottom wall, and a plurality of protrusions are provided on the surrounding wall.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the lid of the box combined with the tableware is made of food-grade plastic, silicone or rubber material.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the cover is provided with at least one through hole.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the accommodating part is an opening, and the shape of the opening of the accommodating part matches the shape of the tableware.

Another technical means of the present invention is that the tableware further includes an auxiliary separation part connected to the holding part, and the auxiliary separation part protrudes outward from the side of the bottom wall.

The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the tableware and the cover are integrally formed and manufactured. After a user simply applies force, the tableware can be separated from the cover for use, thus avoiding the need to use the tableware without the tableware when dining in an outdoor environment. In addition to providing consumers with highly convenient usability, it can also save materials for making tableware and reduce the cost and time of additional tableware preparation for catering operators.
