Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container carrier for easily carrying a container such as a bowl of ramen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an employee tries to carry a bowl of ramen to a guest seat in a cafeteria or the like, the bottom of the bowl is hot, so the thumb of the bowl is often used to carry the bowl. When the bowls are carried in this way, it gives a dirty impression.

[0003]

However, it is troublesome to carry the bowl on the tray each time the bowl is transported, which is troublesome when busy.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a container carrier capable of carrying a container such as a bowl without directly touching it in order to solve such problems. It is in. Another object of the present invention is to provide a container carrier that can carry a plurality of bowls at a time without much effort.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a container such as a bowl whose outer dimension is expanded from the bottom side to the upper edge is received by a container holding hole and is carried. A container carrier for use in which the inner diameter of the container holding hole is set to be larger than the outer diameter dimension of the bottom surface side of the container and smaller than the outer diameter dimension of the upper edge of the container, and the container holding hole is formed. The table has a container introduction groove having an opening width wider than the outer diameter of the bottom surface of the container and narrower than the inner diameter of the container holding hole so that the side edge reaches the container holding hole. It has a feature.

In the present invention, it is preferable that a plurality of container holding holes are formed side by side on the carrier, and the container introducing groove is formed in the same direction with respect to any of the container holding holes.

[0007]

In the container carrier according to the present invention, when the open end of the container introducing groove is aligned with the bottom side of the container placed on the cooking table or the like, the container carrier is pushed directly toward the container. The container relatively moves through the container introducing groove into the container holding hole. When the container carrier is lifted in this state, the outer dimensions of the container expand toward the top opening, so the side surface of the container hangs around the container holding hole, and the container was received by the container holding hole. The condition is lifted by the container carrier. After carrying the container in this state, the reverse operation to the above operation is performed. That is, when the container carrier is further lowered after the bottom of the container is placed on the table of the passenger seat, the container is lifted from the container holding hole. After that, if the container carrier is pulled as it is, the container comes off through the container introduction groove. In this way, the container itself can be easily carried without directly touching it, which is hygienic. Moreover, since the container introduction groove is narrower than the inner diameter of the container holding hole, the container is unlikely to drop off during transportation, which is safe.
