Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a packaging container for storing fruits such as citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges and the like, and having a juice portion.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in order to squeeze juice of citrus fruits such as lemons, a substantially cone-shaped protruding portion provided with a plurality of ridges on the peripheral surface is formed on the upper surface of the substantially central portion of the receiving member made of glass. The wringer has been used.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, the squeezer is sold separately from the fruit,
It is something that is purchased, and if you do not have the kitchen utensils such as a single person, you need to buy it specially, and there is a bulky inconvenience for mobile use such as traveling and hiking. There was an inconvenience when I wanted to use it easily.

In order to eliminate such inconvenience, the present invention provides a packaging container that also serves as a juice squeezing device, in which the packaging container itself has a function of a juice squeezing device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a packaging container in which a synthetic resin film or sheet is compressed or vacuum molded.
It is characterized in that a squeezing portion having a concave-convex surface is formed to project in a saucer-shaped fruit juice receiving portion, and a space on the back side of the squeezing portion is used as a fruit storage portion for citrus fruits to constitute a packaging container that also serves as a juice squeezing device. In this case, it is more preferable that the convex surface of the narrowed portion is formed so as to extend along a substantially cone-shaped surface.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a lid is formed by the above-mentioned configuration, and a receptacle formed by raising a fitting edge with the lid around the bottom surface is fitted to form a packaging container that also serves as a juice squeezer. To do. Also in this case, it is more preferable that the convex surface of the narrowed portion is formed along the substantially cone-shaped surface, and it is more preferable that a small hole is formed in the bottom surface of the fruit juice receiving portion of the lid. preferable.

(Operation) Fruits such as lemons and other citrus fruits are stored in the fruit storage portion and covered with a stretch film, or the fruit is packaged by fitting the fruit into a receiver. When the fruit juice is needed, the fruit is taken out from the container, and the fruit is pressed against the storage portion from above by screwing the fruit into the pulp, and the juice is squeezed into the juice receiving portion.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The container 1 is a non-foaming synthetic resin film or sheet capable of having a proper shape-retaining property, for example, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate or other simple substance or a polymer such as laminate or coating, preferably 0.3 to 0.6.
It is composed of a lid body 2 and a receiving body 3 which are formed by pressure forming or vacuum forming a film or sheet having a thickness of about mm.

The lid body 2 has a substantially dish-shaped fruit juice receiving portion 5 having a rising peripheral edge 4 at a substantially central portion thereof with a projection 6 having a substantially conical surface, and a bottom surface of the fruit juice receiving portion 5. Seven groups of small holes for passing fruit juice are provided. The protrusion 6 is formed by repeatedly forming vertical irregularities in the circumferential direction, with the convex portion serving as the fruit juice narrowing portion 8 and the concave portion serving as the fruit juice flow passage 9, with the upper end rounded and the peripheral surface having a middle bulge shape. At the same time, the back surface (lower side) of the projecting portion 6 is a fruit storing portion 10 having a size capable of storing a half or more half of a citrus substance 20 such as lemon.

The receiving body 3 forms a rising peripheral edge 12 that fits with the peripheral edge 4 around the bottom surface 11 that receives the citrus fruits 20 housed on the back side of the protruding portion 6 from below, and can collect fruit juice on the bottom surface 11. It is formed in the shape of a container.

As shown in FIG. 2, the container 1 of the present invention stores the citrus fruits 20 in the fruit storage portion 10 and fits the lid body 2 and the receiving body 3 into a product, which is marketed to consumers. provide. When citrus juice is needed, as shown in FIG.
The citrus fruit 20 is taken out from the citrus fruit 20, and the lid 2 and the receiving body 3 are fitted again, and the citrus fruit in a half-divided shape is pressed against the projecting portion 6 from above and is pressed by screwing. Since the squeezing section 8 destroys the cells of the flesh and presses the flesh, the juice is squeezed out, and the juice is squeezed from the flow path 9 or the like to the juice receiving section 5.
After flowing down, the water is accumulated in the receiving body 3 through the small holes 7.

Thus, according to the present invention, since the container for packaging citrus fruits is provided with the protruding portion for squeezing the fruit juice, the juice can be simply squeezed by the container as it is without a separate squeezer.

Incidentally, the protruding portion is not limited to the shape of the above-mentioned embodiment, can be squeezed citrus fruits, and may be any shape as long as it can be compressed or vacuum-molded, and a narrowed portion formed on the peripheral surface and The shape and number of the flow passages are also arbitrary, and the surface of the protruding portion has an appropriately sized protrusion (a size of about several millimeters).
It may be formed by a large number. Further, in the above embodiment, a small hole group is provided in the fruit juice receiving portion of the lid, and a configuration in which the fruit juice flows down to the receiver through the small hole group has been described, but the small hole group is not provided, The juice may be stored in the juice receiving portion of the lid. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the lid and the receiver are described as non-foaming synthetic resin films or sheets, but may be foaming as long as there is no problem in strength and molding. The bottom surface 11 of the receiver 3 may have a flat shape, or may have a concave shape in which the central portion can accommodate a part of the citrus fruit.

Next, an example of another packaging container that also serves as a juice squeezing device and that uses the same structure as the lid 2 will be described.

The container of the present invention of this example has substantially the same structure as the lid 2 in the above-described embodiment (it is better not to provide the group of small holes 7).
As shown in the figure, the product is used as a container 1a and covered with a stretch film 21 in the state where the citrus fruit 20 is stored on the back side of the protruding portion 6a. When used as a juice extractor, the juice is stored in the juice receiving portion 5a.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the packaging container that also serves as a juice squeezing device of the present invention, the container can be used as it is as a juice squeezing device, and the product seller can increase the added value of the product. In addition to being able to do so, it is possible to obtain convenience in use for consumers.

Further, according to the present invention, since the juice squeezing device can be formed integrally with the synthetic resin film or sheet type packaging container,
It is inexpensive and lightweight, convenient for carrying, and disposable. According to the fitting of the lid and the receiving body, the packaging work is simple, the safety of the stored object is further guaranteed, and the convenience of receiving the fruit juice is further enhanced. When only the lid is used as the container, the cost can be further reduced.
