Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is suitable for use in liquid, paste, powder, granule, or granular contents of foods and beverages such as seasonings and beverages, cosmetics, and medicines. Concerning the structure of a small package. More specifically, it is a package in which two or more types of contents are housed in separate pockets, and the package can be held in the package by pinching and manipulating it with the fingers of one hand. The present invention relates to a package having a structure that allows simultaneous and easy extraction of different contents (for example, vinegar and oil, coffee and cream, powdered detergent and powdered whitening agent, etc.).

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, various small-sized packages have been proposed whose contents can be easily extracted by pinching and operating with fingers. For example, the packaging body of Utility Model Application No. 101801/1983 (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 11763/1988), which was invented by the present inventor earlier, or the container disclosed in Publication of Utility Model Application No. 22786/1983, which was invented by someone else, are examples of this. . However, such conventional packaging bodies were devised so that one type of contents could be easily taken out, and a packaging structure that allows different contents to be taken out at the same time as in the present invention has not yet been proposed. It has not been.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the world, there are often cases where it is necessary to use different types of things at the same time. for example,
When a sick person takes two different types of konagusuri or mizugusuri at the same time (in succession), or when making stews, first adding a spoonful of salt to the ingredients in the pot and then adding a small amount of sugar, etc. It is. In addition, there are many cases where it is necessary to use different types of materials in a mixed state. For example, mixing vinegar and oil to use as a dressing, mixing peanut butter and strawberry jam to spread on bread, or mixing coffee with milk to make milk coffee. In these various cases, conventionally, the only options were to use different types of separately prepared products one after another, or to mix both once and then use them. . The present invention aims to simplify the operation in such cases, and provides a structure of a small package that can simultaneously extract different contents stored separately in each pocket with a single touch operation. This is what I am trying to do.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has a lid made of a bendable hard material with an appropriate breakable structure and a breakable area in the center of the surface, and a container body made of a flexible member whose peripheral edge is fixed to the back side of the lid. , leading to the rupture area of the lid 2
This is a package that has two or more pockets each containing different contents.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings and examples.

Figures 1A to 1C show an example of a package P according to the present invention. Figure 1A shows its external shape, Figure 1B shows its internal structure, and Figure 1C shows its usage condition. each represents. In other words, 1 in the figure
1 is a lid made of a bendable hard material such as synthetic resin (for example, polyethylene or polystyrene copolymer), and formed into a hat shape, and the lid 1 has a hat shape in the center of its surface. It has a breakable structure consisting of a pointed end 2 and a cut groove 3 passing through it, and when the lid 1 is bent along the cut groove 3, breakage occurs around the pointed end 2. The area where the rupture is expected to occur centered on the tip 2 on the cut groove 3 of the lid 1 is referred to as a rupture area 2'. Further, on the back surface of the lid 1, the peripheral edge of a container body 4 made of a flexible member made of a sheet of polyethylene, aluminum, etc. is fixed.
The bottom 6 of the container body 4 has a concave shape that matches the shape of the cap of the lid 1 so that several packages P can be stacked one on top of the other. Furthermore, the container body 4
The inner part is made of the same material as the lid 1 and is fixed to the center of the recess in the bottom 6 of the container body 4 and the center of the back side along the cut groove 3 of the lid 1, dividing the inner volume into two and forming a package. P
It is divided by a partition wall 5 forming two pockets A and B of approximately equal capacity. Then,
Approximately 1/2 inch of the partition wall 5 is placed in the pocket part A of the package P.
Salad oil A' is sealed in an amount up to about 2.2 cm high, while a roughly equal amount of vinegar mixed with appropriate spices B' is sealed in pocket B.

The package P has the above-mentioned configuration, but the contents stored in each pocket part A, B,
That is, salad oil A' and spiced vinegar B' are separated by a partition wall 5,
Prior to their use, the two do not mix. When using the product, for example, when sprinkling it on a salad, pinch the package P with your fingers, hold the lid 1 between your fingers as shown in FIG. When the lid 1 is folded along the groove 3 so as to sandwich the concave surface of the bottom 6, both pocket parts A and B are pressed and the contents are released.
A large pressure is applied to A' and B' toward the tip 2 of the lid, and at the same time due to the bending stress of the lid 1, the lid 1 breaks in the fracture area 2' centered on the tip 2. , the adhesion between the lid 1 and the partition wall 5 is broken in the fracture area 2', and the contents are simultaneously released from the fracture area.
A' and B' flow out and are poured over the salad in the form of a dressing. Therefore, the trouble of holding the container and shaking it before use, which is required in conventional separation type dressings, is eliminated, and the dressing can be taken out as a dressing with a single touch operation. At this time, the tip of the partition wall 5 is pushed up toward the tip 2 of the lid 1, working to push up the breaking area 2' and assisting the breaking of the lid 1.

FIGS. 2A to 2C show another embodiment Q of the package according to the present invention. Figure 2 A is the package Q
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the external shape of the device, B shows its internal structure, and C shows the state in use. In the figure, 1 is a lid made of a hard material that can be bent (the specific example of the material is the same as that of the previous embodiment/package P. The same applies hereinafter), and there is a lid in the center of its surface for bending. There are 3 perforations.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a container body whose peripheral portion is attached to the back surface of the lid 1, and as shown in FIG. The bottom of the container body 4 is greatly recessed to form a . Further, the container body 4 is attached to the lid body 1 from both sides along the central part of the lid body 1, that is, the back side of the perforation 3, but it is not attached only to the central area 2'. do not have. (This 2' area of the lid 1 is called the rupture area.) Therefore, the pocket part A,
B has a communicating portion below the fracture area 2'. Packaging body Q consisting of such a structure
Pockets A and B are filled with different types of cold medicine, such as granular cold medicine, by an appropriate method.
A′ and granular gastrointestinal medicine B′ or strawberry jam
A′ and orange marmalade B′ etc. in pocket A,
Enclose each in an amount about 1/2 to 3/4 of the capacity of B.

Since the package Q has the above structure, when it is left still, the contents A' and B' are in both pockets.
There is no mixing. However, if you pinch both ends of the lid 1 with your fingers around the perforation 3 and fold it into a V shape so as to pull the pocket parts A and B toward each other, the pocket parts A and B will come into contact with each other and be pressed together. Therefore, a large load is applied to each of the contents A' and B', and this pressure concentrates on the rupture area 2', which is the communication part, and the rupture area 2' ruptures, causing the contents A' , B' simultaneously flow outward. If a cut is made in advance in the fracture area 2' on the surface of the lid 1, it will be easier to burst. Therefore, different contents can be easily taken out by one-handed operation.

The structure for breaking the lid 1 (breakable structure) is as follows:
It is not limited to the above two embodiments, for example, a pyramid-shaped protrusion may be provided in the center of the lid 1, etc.
Various shapes can be adopted. Further, the number of pocket portions is not limited to two, and several pocket portions may be provided as long as they communicate with the fracture area.

[Effect of idea]

As explained in detail above, the packaging body according to the present invention can be used to take out different types of items at the same time and with a single touch, so it can be used in various fields such as extraction and use of food and beverages, cosmetics, medicines, etc. It can be used at any time.
