Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Purpose of the invention [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a skewered food container that suitably stores skewered items such as dango and yakitori.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a container for storing skewered foods such as dango and yakitori (grilled skewers) made by piercing the object with both ends of the skewer protruding, a tray container covered with a wrap film or closed with a lid has been used. ing.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, when covered with a wrap or closed with a lid, the surface of the skewered food that is the contents is covered during transportation and handling due to the so-called "dancing" in which the skewered food moves up and down. There is a problem in that part of the bean paste or sauce peels off and adheres to the wrap or lid, damaging the contents and spoiling the appearance. In particular, when such skewers are heated individually in a microwave oven, the parts of the wrap and lid that are covered with bean paste or sauce become hotter than the allowable temperature as the adhering material becomes hot, resulting in deterioration and damage. This can lead to problems such as deterioration and exposure of the contents.

This invention prevents the contents of the skewers from "dancing," and prevents the surface of the contents from coming into contact with the top plate of the lid and causing part of the contents to stick to the top plate during transportation and handling.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a skewer container that allows the whole container to be heated in a microwave.

(b) Structure of the invention [Means for solving the problem] Corresponding to this purpose, the skewer container of this invention is:
A skewer container for storing skewers obtained by piercing an item with both ends of the skewers protruding, the container comprising a tray having a bottom and a lid having a top plate covering an upper part of the bottom; The part has a skewer holding part on an inner edge of the part covering the peripheral edge of the bottom part, which is stepped and lower than the part covering the center part of the bottom part, and the skewer holding part pinches the part covering the center part of the bottom part. It is characterized by being provided at opposite positions.

The details of this invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a skewer container. The skewer container 1 includes a tray 2 and a lid 3 made of transparent plastic molding.

The tray 2 has a bottom portion 4 that is approximately rectangular in plan view. The long side of the bottom portion 4 is approximately equal to the length of the skewer 6 of the skewered food 5 to be stored. A body 7 stands up from the bottom 4, and the upper end of the body 7 has a narrow flange 8 that extends horizontally to the outside and goes around the upper edge of the container 1.
and a wall 11 that hangs down from the outer edge of the flange portion 8 to the outside of the container 1 and goes around the flange portion 8.
1a slightly protrudes outward.

The lid 3 has approximately the same shape and size as the tray 2 in plan view, and has a top plate portion 13 that covers the top portion 4. Top plate part 13
A flange portion 14 is connected to the flange portion 14 and is positioned over the flange portion 8 .

A wall 15 hangs down from the outer edge of the flange portion 14 and is located along and outside the wall 11. The lower end of the wall 15 is provided with a plurality of grooves 15a which are horizontal in side view and wrap around below the lower edge 11a of the wall 11 and end with the lower edge facing outside again. The locking portion 16
engages with the locking portion 12 of the tray 2, and both locking portions 1
The lid 3 can be attached to and detached from the tray 2 by elastic deformation of the trays 2 and 16.

The height of the top plate part 13 from the bottom part 4 is not uniform. That is, in the top plate part 13, a part 13a that covers two parts 4a along the short sides of the rectangle among the peripheral edges of the bottom part 4 forms a plane flush with the flange part 14, and an inner edge part of the part 13a covers the two parts 4a along the short sides of the rectangle. A skewer presser portion 17 is formed which is lower than a portion 13b that covers the central portion 4b of the skewer in a step 13c. The opposing distance d between the skewer pressers 17 is smaller than the length l of the skewer 6, and the vertical movement of the skewer 5 is caused by the protruding ends 6a and 6b of the skewer presser 17.
It is regulated with the upper limit being in contact with the Also,
The distance h ₁ between the skewer presser 17 and the bottom center portion 4b is half of the distance h ₂ between the top plate center portion 13b and the bottom center portion 4b.
The values of h ₁ and h ₂ are selected so that even if a smaller skewer, such as a dumpling, stuck in the center of the stored item is at the upper limit position, the sagging on the surface thereof will not come into contact with the center portion 4b of the top plate.

The tray 2 and the lid 3 may be integrally molded. Further, as the material constituting the skewer container 1, commonly used thermoplastic resins such as polyvinyl chloride and styrene can be used, but materials with a relatively high melting temperature such as polypropylene can be used for the lid.
If polypropylene or the like is used for the tray, the entire container can be heated in a microwave oven. Furthermore, if the tray is formed from a metal plate such as aluminum or stain-free steel, it can be heated in a straight line in a toaster oven or the like with the lid removed.

A tray 2a of a skewer container according to another embodiment of this invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 has a locking portion 1
The upper end of the outer wall of 2a is curled outward. The groove portion 15a of the lid 3 is engaged with the lower part of the curled portion to lock the lid 3.

(C) Function/Effect As is clear from the above explanation, in the skewered food container 1 configured in this way, the vertical movement of both protruding ends 6a, 6b of the skewered food 5 is regulated by the skewer presser 17. This prevents the “dancing” of the skewers.
The surface of the skewered food 5 does not come into contact with the top plate 13 of the lid 2 during transportation and handling, and a part of the contents does not adhere to the top plate.
