Abstract

Provided is a tableware which can be used normally as a regular tableware, but can also be used as a lid by putting, onto the tableware, another tableware having the same shape such that the tablewares face to each other. The tableware is characterized by having stepped parts formed in the periphery of the tableware such that the stepped parts in the tableware are positioned so as to mate with the stepped parts of another tableware. The stepped parts are formed by repeating a similar shape at equal intervals. Further, the inner side of the contact surface of the tableware mating area is formed in a circular arc shape. Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the tablewares thus mated with each other form an angle smaller than that of a straight line.

Description

vessel

The present invention relates to a container such as tableware. More specifically, the present invention relates to a container for storing food, toys or other decorative items, etc., with the use surfaces of other containers facing each other.

Conventionally, tableware such as tableware has not been provided with a step for engaging with other tableware at the edge of the tableware. For this reason, even though one of the two dishes is intended to be used over the other, it is not structured to engage, so there is a shift in the covered surface of the dish, so that one of the dishes is attached to the other. It was difficult to use as a lid.
In the case of a tableware with a dedicated lid, it was possible to cover the tableware main body and the lid by providing a slip prevention structure, but the lid was not used as a tableware.
In order to coat a dish, it is known to coat the dish surface with a thin plastic resin transparent film. Alternatively, a resin lid used for temporary storage of food or cooking in a microwave oven is known. However, these require a plurality of types of lids of various sizes and shapes according to various sizes of dishware, and the lid itself is not used as a dishware.

Furthermore, lids used for temporary storage of foodstuffs and cooking with a microwave oven are known for tableware made of synthetic resin made of a circular shape that can also be used to a certain size.

Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-358159) “tableware set” is said to be “in a tableware set, the storage effect can be improved, and it can be used for many purposes”, and “tableware set (101) Consists of several lids (110), which also serve as tableware, and several dishes (120), which also serve as storage containers, and a flange (100a) is provided at the top of each container, and a stepped portion ( 100b) can be stacked, resulting in several stages of food storage containers, and tableware (122) is stored in the tableware (121) which also serves as a storage container, and the tableware (123) is stored in the interior. Thus, it can be stored compactly. "

Patent document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-102041) “System tableware” is “considering storage and reducing the number of types, especially the outer diameter size by unifying them. However, it can also be used in various usage situations. The simple shape makes it easy to wash the interior. Considering storage, etc., make sure that all dishes can be stacked compactly, so that you do not have to touch the dishes directly when drinking hot coffee. " , “Only four types of outer diameter sizes for all dishes, and prepare three types of depths, deep dishes, shallow dishes, and flat dishes for each. Deep dishes and shallow dishes have inclined side surfaces. By using a straight ground shape (conical surface), all dishes can be stacked compactly, and by making the intersection of the side and bottom sufficiently large arcs, the interior can be easily washed. And upside down It can also be used as a lid for deep dishes and shallow dishes.The handle is prepared separately.The folding structure makes it thin and compact when stored.By using it, you can freely make coffee cups and soup cups Is possible. "

Patent Document 3 (Design Registration No. 1463147) “A set of table dishes and cup sets” is “this article is composed of three large, medium and small plates and a cup with one handle. The dishes and cups can be stacked and stored as shown in the front, top and right side views. "

When trying to temporarily store food and ingredients placed on conventional tableware, it must be transferred to a storage container such as a container with a dedicated lid. In this case, it takes time and effort to transfer food and ingredients, and it is empty when not in use, and it must be supplemented with multiple containers of various sizes, and it can be used in kitchens such as home kitchens and restaurants. It becomes necessary to take a large storage space.

When using one of the two tableware plates on the other, use the same diameter tableware facing each other and use them instead of the lid. In that case, since the dishes are not structured to mesh with each other, they are likely to move and may come off.

When covering the surface of the dish with a thin plastic resin transparent film, it took time and effort to apply the film accurately with the film.
Furthermore, since a thin transparent film made of plastic resin is thin, its strength is weak, and other tableware or the like cannot be placed on top of it. Therefore, when there are a large number of tableware to be stored, there is a shortage of storage space.
Furthermore, since films are not suitable for recycling, they are not environmentally friendly, and there are countries and regions that are not widely used.

The lid used for the temporary storage of ingredients made of synthetic resin, such as a circle, or cooking with a microwave oven is larger to accommodate different dishes. Even small tableware is used with a large lid, and several types are required, including large, medium and small sizes. Although it can respond to a general tableware, it is not dedicated to each tableware, so if there is unevenness or distortion on the edge of the tableware, there is a problem that the gap with the lid increases.
It has a weak structure to prevent misalignment with a dish and is used for placing tableware, but it is less stable and unstable for placing other objects on the lid.

Patent Document 1 “Tableware Set”, Patent Document 2 “System Tableware”, and Patent Document 3 “A Set of Tableware and Cup Set” do not overlap the surfaces on which food is placed facing each other.

The present invention solves these problems,
A device in which a step portion is provided on each peripheral portion of a plurality of vessels, and the step portions are positions that can be engaged with each other,
I will provide a.

Furthermore,
The step portion is formed by repeating the same shape at equal intervals.

Furthermore,
The inner surfaces of the meshed containers are smaller in angle than the straight line.

Furthermore,
The inside of the contact surface of the vessel joint is provided in an arc shape.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and can usually be used as an ordinary vessel, but a vessel that can also be used as a lid by covering an empty vessel with the same outer shape facing each other. provide.

11 and 12 are containers, and in this embodiment, they are made of tableware. 21 is a vessel joint. Reference numeral 22 denotes a step provided at the edge of the vessel joint 21.
The shape, interval, height, and the like of the step 22 provided on the tableware 11 depend on the design shown in FIGS. 16 to 21 and the design shown in FIGS. The shape, interval, height, and the like of the step 22 do not limit the shape and dimensions of the tableware 11. Moreover, the shape of the tableware 11 can be manufactured if it is symmetrical, such as an ellipse, a polygon, and a heart shape, other than a circle.

That is, in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the gap 22 is formed in a wave shape. In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the step 22 is formed in a trapezoidal shape. In the fourth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 7, the step 22 is formed in a double wave shape. In the fifth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8, the step 22 is formed of a wave shape in which large and small wave shapes are repeated.

The shape of the step 22 may be not only a circular arc as shown in FIG. 1 or a groove as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 but also a regular irregularity as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13. In the seventh embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and the eighth embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the unevenness is a combination of a convex step 22 and a concave step 22 concave. . Therefore, the engagement is more reliable.
As shown in FIG. 13, the meshing angle of the step 22 is 90 degrees with respect to the mating surface 31 of the tableware 11, and the meshing becomes stronger as it is closer to the vertical. As shown in FIG. 16, the same effect can be obtained even when one tableware 11 has only a concave shape and the other tableware 12 has only a convex shape. In this case, tableware 11 consisting of concave mating surfaces 31 and tableware 11 consisting of convex mating surfaces 31 can not be combined, but when used as a combination that is always determined by the design, etc. It is valid.

Thin tableware 11 and large tableware 11 are often distorted by the heat of the manufacturing process. When the distortion occurs, the tableware 11 may be disengaged and the engagement may be weakened. Even when distortion occurs, in order for the dishes 11 to be firmly engaged with each other, if one or both sides of the dishes 11 to be engaged with each other are made thicker on the edges of the dishes 11, it is possible to prevent deviation due to the distortion of the vessel. .

If food or food containing moisture is stored while the tableware 11 is engaged, water droplets adhere to the inside of the tableware 11. This water droplet flows along the inside of the tableware 11. In order to prevent the water droplets from flowing outside when passing through the food joint portion 21 of the tableware 11, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, as in the ninth embodiment and the tenth embodiment, The inner angle E is narrowed. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the inner side of the contact surface may be provided in a circular arc G.
14 and 15, A is the outside of the tableware 11, and B is the inside of the tableware 11. d is the flow of water droplets.
The angle of the inner B surface of the tableware 11 is smaller than the straight line. In addition, the angle of the outer side A and the inner side B of the tableware 11 is not directly related.
In the ninth embodiment shown in FIG. 14, at least near the tableware contact portion 21, the angle of the inner side A is made narrower than the angle of the outer side B. Therefore, it is difficult for water droplets to flow outward even in the vicinity of the tableware contact portion 21.
The tip has an arc shape, and the flow of water drops is smooth.

In the tenth embodiment shown in FIG. 15, the angle of the inner side A and the angle of the outer side B do not change as the angle of the entire surface, and the entire surface is substantially vertical even near the tableware contact portion 21. However, the tip of the tableware contact portion 21 is provided with an outer tip 32 having an acute angle on the outer side A, whereas an inner tip 33 having an obtuse angle is provided on the inner side. Therefore, in the joined state of the tableware 11, a concave portion 34 that is sunk outward is provided between the inner tip portions 33.
Therefore, it is difficult for water droplets to flow outward even in the vicinity of the tableware contact portion 21.

As a method of reducing the amount of water droplets generated on the inside of the upper tableware that has been covered and flowing down on the mating surface of the tableware, as shown in the sixteenth embodiment shown in FIG. It is good to provide an inclination in the bottom face toward the center of the tableware 11 so that it may approach as it goes to the center. As shown in FIG. 21, the water droplet falls to the center portion because the bottom surface draws a curved surface.
As in the seventeenth embodiment shown in FIG. 22 which is a cross-sectional view as another shape, as shown in FIG. By providing the ring-shaped convex part 41 that goes around the inside of the bottom part, the amount of water droplets flowing on the mating surface of the tableware can be reduced. As shown in FIG. 22, the water droplet does not flow outward beyond the convex portion 41.
The ring-shaped convex portion 41 can obtain the same effect even if it is a concave 42 as in the eighteenth embodiment shown in the sectional view of FIG. The purpose is to provide an angle at which the water droplets generated inside the stacked tableware cannot exceed the mating surface of the tableware 11. The water droplet does not flow outward beyond the recess 42 as shown in FIG.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a tableware 11 that can be used as a normal tableware 11, but can also be used as a lid by placing a vacant tableware 11 having the same outer shape facing each other.
Even if the food remains, it is not necessary to transfer to another storage container, and simply cover other vacant tableware 11 and use the other tableware 11 as a lid as shown in FIG. Is possible.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the tableware 11 can be stored in piles as shown in FIG. 4 with the lid engaged. Therefore, it can be stored in a narrow storage place such as a refrigerator.
In the embodiment of the present invention, if the tableware 11 is manufactured from a material corresponding to a microwave oven, the tableware 11 can be used as a lid for cooking the microwave oven. Therefore, it does not take time and effort to attach a synthetic resin film as in the prior art, and the use of disposable petroleum products can be reduced. In addition, there is no need to prepare many kinds of microwave cooking lids.

When storing three-dimensionally high ingredients or cooking in a microwave oven, it is necessary to prepare a dome-shaped cover as shown in FIG. In a film made of synthetic resin, the ingredients are crushed. In this embodiment of the present invention, the tableware 11 uses a container having the same outer shape and a deep bottom as a lid, so that it is easy to store food with a height placed in a thin container or to cook with a microwave oven. Is possible.
According to the present invention, there is provided a container for storing food or toys or other decorations, etc., with the use surfaces of other containers facing each other.
