Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a food container that can be used for food packaging, display, and dining, and has a lid that can be partially opened and closed, and the other part that is hooked to the main body. .

Conventionally known food containers (for example, butter cases) are known to be used for food packaging, display, and table containers, and are in practical use, but the lids of these containers are Since it is made in the shape of a single plate or plate, when using the contents, the lid must be removed from the container body and placed on the dining table or other place. Not only is it a hassle to cover the lid, but there are also problems such as food adhering to the lid often staining the dining table, or food on the table coming into contact with the lid, resulting in unsanitary conditions.

There is also a proposal for a can lid that can be opened and closed by covering the opening of the can containing powder with a synthetic resin lid and providing a small lid on a part of the lid (Utility Model Publication No. 44-25895). ),
This invention is a small opening/closing lid attached to a part of the lid body, and it is recognized that the opening is automated, and the invention is considered to be innovative.The lid was divided into two parts, one as a fixed lid and the other as an opening/closing lid. It is not possible to adjust the opening of the mouth of the main body.

However, with this idea, the lid body was divided into two lid pieces, one lid piece was fitted and latched onto the mouth of the main body, and the other lid piece could be opened and closed using the fold as an axis. There is no need to remove the lid from the main body and place it on a dining table or the like when taking out the contents, thus solving the problem of the conventional lid made of one piece.

In addition, one of the lid pieces is slidable to the mouth of the container body and is fitted and latched, so that the opening of the mouth of the main body can be freely adjusted, improving the conventional structure in which a small lid is provided. It is.

In other words, this idea covers the mouth of the body of a rectangular or elliptical container with a lid having a size and shape that covers the mouth, and the lid is divided into two lid pieces through a fold. One lid piece is fitted and latched onto the main body opening so that it does not come off upwards, and is also fitted so that it can be slid laterally, and the other lid piece is fitted into the main body opening so that it can be opened and closed freely. In this case, the openable and closable lid piece is provided with a latching protrusion for engaging with the mouth of the main body, as well as a latching hook portion for maintaining the open state when the lid piece is opened.

The lid of this invention is fitted by sliding the lid piece on the fitting/latching side from the side of the main body opening.

Since the container is rectangular or oval in plan, the opening degree is adjusted by linearly sliding the lid in the horizontal direction, or the opening position is selected.

That is, this invention will be explained with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG.

Two lid pieces 3a, 3 are attached to the mouth of the rectangular container 1 through the fold 2.
When fitting the lid 3, which is divided into two equal parts, the lid piece 3a is attached to the mouth of the container 1 so that it can be opened and closed, and the lid piece 3b is attached to the mouth of the container 1 from one side (in FIG. 1). Insert from the right side).

A hanging strip 4 is vertically provided on the fitting vertical wall of the lid piece 3b, so that it can be hooked into a hanging groove 6 provided on the outer wall of the peripheral flange 5 of the container opening.

In addition, a locking protrusion 7 is provided at the center of the vertical side wall of the lid piece 3a to lock the lower edge of the flange, and when the lid piece 3a is opened, the lid piece 3b
A hook portion 8 is provided for the purpose of hooking it to one side vertical wall.

In the embodiment described above, when taking out the contents in the container 1, the lid is opened half way, so for example, when the lid is inserted from the direction of arrow 9 in FIG. Middle arrow indication 1
It is inserted from the 0 direction so that the entire contents can be easily taken out.

Although the lid body 3 in the above embodiment can be bent at the folds of the lid pieces 3a and 3b, the same effect can be obtained even if a hinge is used instead of the folds.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, a lid 13 which can be folded in half from a fold 12 at the center of the container is attached to the mouth of an elliptical container 11.

That is, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the lid piece 13a is capped so that it can be opened and closed freely, and the lid piece 13b is fitted into the mouth of the container, and has a latching strip 14 and a latching groove 15. The same applies to points.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, a circular container 18 is covered with a circular lid 16, and the lid is divided into two lid pieces 16a and 16b via a diametrical fold 17. The piece 16a is openable and closable, and the lid piece 16b fits and latches onto the mouth of the container, which is exactly the same as in the previous two embodiments.

However, if the opening of the container is circular, there is no need to reverse the fitting side of the lid and insert it, and even if the lid is opened halfway by simply rotating the lid 180 degrees, the contents can be easily removed. It has the characteristic of being able to extract all of it.

In this case, it is sufficient to provide the latching protrusion 19 and the latching hook 20 on one side of the lid piece 16a, and there is no need to provide a latching strip.

That is, in the container of this invention, when the lid piece is inserted from the direction of arrow 9 as shown in Figure 1 and the contents are not taken out, the lid is covered as shown in Figure 2 and the contents are taken out. In this case, open the lid piece 3a as shown by the arrow 21 in FIG. Hold 3a.

That is, according to this invention, the lid body is divided into two along the fold line, one lid piece is attached to the opening of the container so that it can be opened and closed, and the other lid piece is fitted to the opening of the container, making it easy to remove the contents. When doing so, open one lid piece and open the mouth of the container halfway without removing the lid.
It has the effect of being a distant relative of the purpose.

In addition, since the latching protrusion and the latching groove are provided between the lid and the flange of the container, the lid can be held in place. I made it hang with
This has the effect of holding the lid piece in place when it is opened.
