The refrigeration container A1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes, as a basic configuration, a case 1 opened on one side and a lid 2 that closes the opening of the case 1, and the lid 2 is disposed on the case 1 side surface. The cutting blade 3 for cutting the accommodation (B) accommodated in 1 is provided.

The container in the illustrated example is a peeled banana B. Strictly speaking, it is “banana fruit”, but hereinafter simply referred to as “banana B”. Therefore, in the refrigeration container A1 of this embodiment, the case 1 accommodates the banana B sideways, and the cutting blades 3 of the lid 2 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the banana B. .

The material of the case 1 is not limited, but is preferably made of resin from the viewpoint of hygiene safety, durability, handleability, and the like, for example, made of silicon. If it is made of resin, it can be mass-produced at low cost. The case 1 has a curved shape corresponding to the curve of the banana B in a plan view, but the shape of the banana B is not uniform, and therefore has a margin in consideration of the standard curve range. Size and shape. In addition, the case 1 can freely apply appropriate decorations such as patterns and colors on its outer surface.

In addition, the case 1 has an outwardly extending flange 4 on the entire edge of the opening, and a plurality (six in the drawing) that serve as marks when the lid 2 is attached to the end surface of the opening. Are formed at predetermined intervals. Further, the case 1 is provided with a groove 6 on the bottom surface where the tip of the cutting blade 3 enters with the lid 2 attached, and a guide groove 7 for guiding the side of the cutting blade 3 on the inner side surface. It is provided.

Each groove 6 is continuous with the lower end of the guide groove 7 at both ends thereof. The combination of the groove 6 and the guide groove 7 is arranged in accordance with the number and position of each cutting blade 1 in the lid 1.

The material of the lid 2 is not limited, but is made of, for example, silicon similar to the case 1. The lid 2 has a size and a shape for closing the opening of the case 1 and is integrally formed with a plurality of (11 in the drawing) cutting blades 3 protruding from the surface on the case 1 side.

The cutting blade 3 in the illustrated example is arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the banana B, and has a zigzag cross-sectional shape continuously from the cutting edge to the cutting edge. The cutting blade 3 is a projecting piece having a blade thickness enough to push through the contained material, and is substantially not a blade, so it is safe to touch the cutting edge. In addition, the lid | cover 2 can freely give suitable decorations, such as a pattern and a color, to the outer surface.

In addition, the lid 2 is integrally provided with an inward hook-like stopper 8 protruding to the back surface at a position corresponding to the concave portion 5 of the case 1 at the periphery thereof, and at one end portion in the longitudinal direction thereof. The protruding piece 9 simulating the fruit pattern of banana B (so-called sag) is integrally provided.

Then, the container A1 for freezing freezes the banana B by accommodating in the freezer compartment or freezer of a refrigerator.

Next, after freezing the banana B, the freezing container A1 removes the lid 2 from the case 1. At this time, the refrigeration container A1 uses the protruding piece 9 formed on the lid 2 as a handle, so that the hook 4 and the stopper 8 are unlocked and the lid 2 can be easily removed.

At this time, the container A1 for freezing is overwhelmingly larger in the contact area between the cutting edge 3 and the banana B than the contact area between the inner surface of the case 1 and the banana B, and is shown in FIG. Thus, the banana B is taken out in a state of adhering to the lid 2. The banana B is an individual cut piece partitioned by the cutting blade 3. Then, the banana B cut piece may be removed from the lid 2 and eaten.

Thus, the refrigeration container A1 of the above-described embodiment can produce a frozen product that is easy to eat, that is, a frozen banana, by a simple operation by the configuration including the case 1 and the lid 2 having the cutting blade 3. For example, when the refrigeration container A1 is made of a resin such as silicon, it is resistant to low temperatures and can be washed with water or disinfected with hot water.

In addition, the refrigeration container A1 has a configuration in which the groove portion 6 into which the tip of the cutting blade 3 enters in the state in which the lid 2 is mounted is provided on the bottom surface of the case 1, and thus only the lid 2 is mounted on the case 1. Thus, the accommodated banana B can be completely cut.

Further, the refrigeration container A1 has a configuration in which the guide groove 7 for guiding the side portion of the cutting blade 3 is provided on the inner side surface of the case 1, so that even when the whole is made of resin, Banana B can be reliably cut while preventing bending.

Further, in the above-described freezing container A1, since the cutting edge 3 has a zigzag cross-sectional shape, the contact area between the cutting edge 3 and the banana B is further increased, and the banana B after freezing is reliably attached to the lid 2. The removal of the cut piece is also good. Further, in the above-described freezing container A1, the cut surface of the banana B is also zigzag shaped so that the cut piece looks good. Further, when eating, the lid 2 serves as a dish and the cut piece There is no rolling down.
