Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a plastic cup-shaped auxiliary container for storing solid foods such as snacks sealed in a bag etc. This invention relates to a can with a snack that is glued and integrated with the can lid seam of a beverage can.

(Prior Art) There are a wide variety of alcoholic beverage containers on the market, and among them there is a product that integrates snacks and metal beer cans and sells them. In this way, products that include drinks and snacks are convenient for people who want to eat or drink right away at a resort, in a car, or the like.

This type of set product is made by filling a deep dish-shaped auxiliary container made of transparent plastic with bagged snacks, providing a protrusion on the lower side wall of the auxiliary container, and fitting it into the seam of a beverage can. Furthermore, in order to firmly integrate the beverage can and the auxiliary container filled with snacks and to prevent contamination of the auxiliary container, the area where the beverage can and the auxiliary container fit is covered with a heat-shrinkable film. Since the snacks are sealed with a plastic auxiliary container and a heat-shrinkable film, the inner surface of the auxiliary container may become cloudy due to temperature fluctuations or during refrigerated storage, and in extreme cases, water droplets may form and stain the snacks.

To prevent this, some auxiliary containers have vents installed in the ceiling wall, but this prevents deterioration of the snacks. It has lost the versatility that it can be used as.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) This invention prevents condensation caused by the temperature difference between the canned food and the air temperature on the inside of the auxiliary container that stores snacks, especially on the inside of the snack storage section of the auxiliary container. In addition, the object is to obtain a canned food with snacks that can be used as an auxiliary container as a tumbler, so that it is suitable for drinking beer etc. that is enjoyed down the throat. Another object of the present invention is to obtain an inexpensive canned food with snacks that does not necessarily require a heat-shrinkable film, which is conventionally necessary.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has a snack storage section 6 formed by a ceiling wall 2 and a side wall 4, and has a lower wall 5 that continues to the side wall 4. A fitting recess 7 extending annularly is provided on the inner side of the side wall 4 of the lower wall 5, and a protrusion 12 protruding in the radial direction and extending annularly is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the lower end wall 5. A plastic auxiliary container 1 has a passage 11 extending from the snack storage part 6 to the lower end of the lower wall 5 by forming an inter-recess passage 13 and an inter-protrusion passage 15 on the inside, and the auxiliary container 1. It consists of an inner bag 31 containing snacks 30 stored in a snack storage section 6, and a beverage can 20 in which a can lid tightening section 23 is fitted into a fitting recess 7 of the auxiliary container 1. This canned snack with snacks is characterized in that the protrusion 12 is in close contact with the can body 21 of the beverage can 20 when the beverage can is fitted.

(Function) Since the canned food with snacks of the present invention has the configuration described above, outside air enters the snack storage part from the passage,
Conversely, the air inside the snack storage section can escape to the outside, preventing dew condensation inside the snack storage section. or,
The protrusions prevent dirt from entering the auxiliary container, allowing the auxiliary container to be used as a tumbler.

(Example) Fig. 1 is a front half-sectional view showing a canned food with snacks of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a front half-sectional view showing a tumbler-shaped auxiliary container constituting the canned food with snacks of the present invention. 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken in the direction of the - line in FIG. 2, showing the fitted state of the auxiliary container and the beverage can, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken in the direction of the - line arrow in FIG. 2, showing the fitted state.

In the figure, 20 is a known beverage can filled with a beverage, 21 is a can body of the beverage can 20, and a seaming portion 23 is formed above the constriction 22 of the can body 21. Then, the can lid 24 is attached.

Numeral 30 is a snack made of solid food or the like sealed in an inner bag 31 by a known method.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a tumbler-shaped auxiliary container made of transparent plastic that stores snacks 30 between it and the can lid 24.

The auxiliary container 1 is manufactured by injection molding, vacuum forming, pressure forming, etc., and suitable materials include polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, polystyrene, polycarbonate, butadiene/styrene resin, etc., but flexible and transparent materials are suitable. In this example, a butadiene-styrene-based resin molded by injection molding is used, as it has many favorable features such as hardness and impact resistance.

The auxiliary container 1 is equipped with a ceiling wall 2, and around the ceiling wall 2 there is a protruding portion 3 with a chevron-shaped cross section that engages with the bottom wall of another beverage can for stacking other beverage cans. It is equipped with

A side wall 4 extends downward from the periphery of the bulging portion 3 in a cylindrical shape with a lower wall 5 extending downward, and the outer diameter of the side wall 4 is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the beverage can 20. ing. The outer surface of the can lid 24 of the beverage can 20 and the side wall 4
The inner surface of the side wall 4 and the inner surface of the ceiling wall 2 form a snack storage section 6 that stores an interior bag 31 containing snacks 30, and the height of the side wall 4 is equal to or smaller than the snack storage section 6.
The appropriate height is determined depending on the size of the inner bag 31 of the snacks 30 stored therein.

The height of the lower wall 5, which continues from the side wall 4 and extends in a generally cylindrical shape, is better as it is lower from the viewpoint of maintaining the circulation performance of the snack storage section 6 and the outside air. The desired height is determined within a range that is equal to or approximately half the internal volume.

Inside the lower wall 5 near the connecting part with the side wall 4,
Six fitting recesses 7, which fit into the fastening portions 23 of the beverage can 20, are provided discontinuously at regular intervals and projecting in an annular manner.

The shape of the fitting recess 7 is such that it wraps around the outer surface of the seaming part 23 , and its dimensions are the downward facing surface 8 of the fitting recess 7 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the seaming part 23 , and the shape of the fitting recess 7 . The upward facing surface 9 slightly bites into the constriction 22 of the beverage can 20 while abutting the lower surface, and is dimensioned to tightly sandwich the upper and lower surfaces of the seaming portion 23, and the side surface 10 of the fitting recess 7 is also , the radial dimension from the central axis is slightly smaller than the radial dimension of the outer surface of the seaming part 23, and the seaming part 23 is tightly sandwiched between the fitting recesses 7 facing each other across the central axis.

On the inside of the lower wall 5, when the sealing part 23 of the beverage can 20 is fitted into the fitting recess 7, the sealing part 23 of the beverage can 20 and the can body, except for the fitting recess 7 and a protrusion 12 to be described later, are formed. A passage 11 that does not contact the portion 21 is formed so that outside air can enter and exit the snack storage portion 6 from the inner lower end of the lower wall 5.

A plurality of protrusions 12 are provided at the inner lower end of the lower wall 5 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the inner surface of the protrusions 12 is in contact with the can body 21 of the beverage can 20.

Therefore, the passage 11 includes an inter-recess passage 13 between the fitting recesses 7 leading to the snack storage part 6, a ring-shaped passage 14 between the bottom of the fitting recess 7 and the top of the protrusion 12, and the protrusion 12. An interprotrusion passageway 15 communicating with the outside is continuous between the protrusions.

Further, the above-mentioned protrusion 12 is provided below the inter-recess passage 13 at a position hanging from the inter-recess passage 13, and the width of the inter-protrusion passage 15 in the circumferential direction is formed narrow.

Therefore, the protrusion 12 prevents foreign matter from entering the passage 11, and since the inter-recess passage 13 and the inter-protrusion passage 15 are disposed offset in the circumferential direction, the outside air that has entered the passage 11 is prevented from entering the passage 11 in a ring shape. The direction of flow within the passage 14 must be bent, and the dust that enters with the outside air has a longer travel distance, so it settles under its own weight and at least crosses the inter-recess passage 13 and enters the back of the auxiliary container 1. There isn't.

The canned product of the present invention may be entirely covered with a heat-shrinkable film to prevent unauthorized opening and tampering.

Since this invention has the above structure, there are 30 snacks.
The auxiliary container 1 is fitted into the beverage can 20 by storing the inner bag 31 containing the contents into the snack storage portion 6 of the auxiliary container 1 and fitting the fitting recess 7 into the seaming portion 23 of the beverage can 20. This allows you to get canned food with snacks.

At this time, the inner surface of the protrusion 12 is in close contact with the can body 21.

Therefore, when a temperature difference occurs between the canned food with snacks and the outside air, the outside air can enter the snack storage part 6 from the inter-protrusion passage 15 through the ring-shaped passage 14 and the inter-recess passage 13, and vice versa. The air inside the storage section 6 can escape to the outside of the can.

(Effects of the invention) When the canned snacks of the invention are sold in a cooled state at a store or in a vending machine, an air passage is provided inside the auxiliary container, so the snack storage compartment can be ventilated. Cloudiness or water droplets do not form on the inner surface of the snack storage section, and deterioration of the snacks can be prevented, thereby extending the quality retention period of the product.
Furthermore, if the auxiliary container is made of a transparent material, the snacks can be seen through, which enhances the display effect during display sales and increases the product value.

In addition, the auxiliary container can be easily removed, and after being removed, the auxiliary container can be used as a tumbler, making it suitable for drinking drinks such as beer that can be enjoyed down the throat. Further, since a protrusion is provided inside the lower end of the lower wall of the auxiliary container, it is possible to prevent dirt from entering the auxiliary container, so it is not necessarily necessary to cover the container with a heat-shrinkable film, and the price can be reduced.
