Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a cup-shaped container used in restaurants to contain light foods such as fried potatoes and serve them to customers.

(Prior Art) Recently, there have been many restaurants called "fast kitchens" that simply serve hamburgers and the like. In addition to hamburgers, these restaurants also sell french fries, coffee, juices, etc., but french fries and the like were served in cup-shaped containers. This container was of a foldable type and was assembled into a cup shape when used.

(Problem to be solved by this invention) By the way, this type of conventional cup-shaped container does not have a handle, so customers have to grasp the middle part of the container when picking up and carrying it at the counter, or when eating while standing. Moreover, it was impossible to hold a cup containing hamburgers, juices, etc. at the same time, and it was very painful. In addition, it was difficult for young children to hold it, so there were cases where they dropped it.

This idea was devised to solve the above-mentioned difficulties.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of this invention is that in a foldable cup-shaped food container, a tongue piece extends upward from the upper edge of the container body, and the tongue piece and the container A plurality of longitudinal notches are provided at intervals across the main body, and a gripping portion is formed between the notches, and by bending the tongue piece outward, the gripping portion protrudes outward. It is characterized by being formed so as to.

(Example) The following will explain based on the illustrated example. The container of this invention is made of foldable paper, and reference numeral 1 designates the container body, which is shaped like an inverted truncated pyramid and opens upward.

A back surface portion at the upper end side edge of the container body 1 extends further upward to form an arcuate tongue piece 2 . A folding line 3 is provided horizontally at the boundary between the tongue piece 2 and the container body 1, and the tongue piece 2 is formed so as to be bendable in the outward direction. In addition, two vertical notches 4, 4 are provided at a distance from the middle part of the tongue piece 2 to the container body 1. 5, 5, and a folding line 6 is provided at the intermediate portion, and a portion surrounded by these cuts 4, 4 and folding lines 5, 5 constitutes a gripping portion 7.
Then, when the tongue piece 2 is folded outward along the folding lines 3, the gripping portion 7 is attached to the folding lines 5, 5 and the folding line 6.
It is bent along the section and is formed to protrude outward.

When in use, assemble the container body 1, put the contents in it, and then bend the tongue piece 2 outward along the folding line 3 so that the grip part 7 protrudes outward, and then attach the grip part 7 and the container body 1. Usually, one finger such as the index finger is inserted between the two to grasp the container. By grasping the cup A containing the juice etc. with the remaining fingers, the container of the present invention and the cup A can be simultaneously grasped with one hand.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the container main body 8 is formed into a rectangular tube shape with four corners concavely curved inside, and the back surface of the container main body 8 is further extended upward and has an arcuate tongue piece 9.
is formed. A folding line 10 is provided horizontally at the boundary between the tongue piece 9 and the container body 8, and the tongue piece 9 is formed so as to be bendable toward the outside. In addition, two vertical notches 11, 11 are provided at a distance from the middle part of the tongue piece 9 to the container body 8, and a folded line is provided at the upper and lower ends of the tongue piece 9, spanning between the notches 11, 11. 1
2, 12 and a folding line 14 is provided at the middle part,
A portion surrounded by these cuts 11, 11 and folding lines 12, 12 constitutes a gripping portion 13. When the tongue piece 9 is bent outward from the folding line 10, the grip portion 13 is bent from the folding lines 12, 12 and the folding line 14 and protrudes outward.

When using the tongue piece 9, as in the first embodiment,
to the outside along the folding line 10 to form the grip part 1.
3 protrudes outward, and the grip part 13 and the container body 8
The container is grasped by inserting one finger such as the index finger between the two.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the container of this invention is formed so that the grip part protrudes from the container body when in use, so the container can be held by simply inserting one finger between the grip part and the container body. It can be grasped, and the other finger can hold a cup filled with drinking water, such as juice, and the other hand can hold a hamburger, etc. at the same time. It is very convenient to carry around or to have a buffet dinner. There is also no risk of accidentally dropping it. Moreover, the grip part is easy to manufacture because it simply has a notch and a folding line, and when not in use, it can be folded into a flat surface, so it does not take up much space when stored or transported, just like a conventional folding type. It's something that doesn't exist.
