Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 1. Purpose of the invention The present invention relates to a heat-insulating cover for a food container with a lid.

Traditionally, relatively large food containers with lids, such as those used for school lunches, are made entirely of synthetic resin, so when stacked one on top of the other, the lid surface gets scratched, and if it is tilted slightly, it may fall over. However, they also had the disadvantage of not being able to maintain a constant temperature state.

Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks.

2. Structure of the invention The structure and operation of the invention will be explained with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a lower container body, which is somewhat large in the drawing, and is for example used for boiled rice. 2
is the opening of this container body 1, and the inner lid 3 is placed in this opening. Reference numeral 4 denotes an outer peripheral step of the opening 2 of the container body 1, on which the lid 5 is placed. Reference numeral 6 denotes a convex portion formed on the bottom surface of the container body 1, and its height is set to be appropriate. Reference numeral 7 denotes a cover body that tightly fits on the circumferential side surface of the lid body 5 and the circumferential side surface of the opening 2 of the container body 1. It consists of an upper side part 9 that comes into close contact with the circumferential corner surface of the cover 5, and an inside part 10 that comes into close contact with the upper side surface of the lid body 5. This inner part 10 is lower than the upper part 9 and forms a stepped part. Reference numeral 11 denotes an upper container body which is stacked on the upper surface of the lid 5 of the lower container body 1 via the cover body 7. Although this is slightly lower than the lower container body 1 in the drawing, other structures are shown. is the same as that of the container body 1. This container body 11 is used, for example, for soup or side dishes.

The cover body 7 is made of a soft synthetic resin material, whereas the container body 1 and the lid body 5 are made of a hard synthetic resin material.

When using the cover body of the present invention, first, the cover body 7 is fitted from above the lid body 5 which is placed over the container body 1 in the lower part. Then, the lower part 8 of the cover body 7 is attached to the lower outer peripheral surface of the opening 2 of the container body 1, the upper part 9 thereof is attached to the circumferential corner surface of the lid body 5, and the inner part 10 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the lower side of the opening 2 of the container body 1. Due to their flexibility, they come into close contact with the upper surface of the body 5.

Next, the upper container body 11 is placed on the cover body 7, so that the convex portion 6 on the bottom of the container body 11 is fitted into the inner side 10 of the lower step of the cover body 7.

3. Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention provides that the cover body 7 made of a soft synthetic resin material has a lower part 8 that is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container body, and an upper part 9 that is in close contact with the inner corner surface of the lid body. It consists of an inner part 10 that is in close contact with the upper surface of the lid, and this inner part 10 is formed into a step lower than the upper part 9, so that the container fitted with the lid can be Since the opening of the body is completely sealed from the outside of the container, the food inside is completely insulated and the heat retention effect is extremely large.Also, similar containers can be stacked in several tiers on top of the lid. Even if the stacked upper container is slightly tilted, it provides a buffering effect between the container and the lid, and prevents damage to the lid and the bottom of the container. There is no danger of it slipping and falling, and it has great practical effects as a container for various foods that require heat retention.
