Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a bento box in the form of a jubako used as a Shokado bento box used in restaurants or as a jubako box to be taken on a picnic.

[Problems with conventional technology]

As a so-called Shokado bento box, which is generally used in Japanese restaurants and has partitions inside, for example, the one shown in FIG. 5 has been conventionally used. This is inside a rectangular cylindrical box 1 with a square plane and a bottom.
A partition plate 2 is removably attached in the shape of a cross, and a lid 3 is placed over it.

In the above device, a cross-shaped partition plate 2 is attached, and side dishes and rice are placed in each partitioned part, but side dishes containing soup are placed on the partition plate 2.
There is a problem with it flowing out into the rice etc.

For this reason, some boxes have a removable inner box with a partition plate integrally formed on the inside of the box, making it double, but this results in double side walls, which wastes a lot of material, and there are many different types of boxes. When serving side dishes, the bento boxes must be arranged side by side and arranged one after another, which requires a large area and is difficult to work with.

Also, when a family goes on a picnic, the bento is often packed in a multi-layered box, and there is usually a platter of side dishes for everyone, and when eating, the lid is used as a receiving plate, and the bento is divided into portions for each person. There is. For example, when serving for several people, there were problems such as the side dishes getting mixed up when it was time to eat, even if you took the pains to arrange the food neatly in the box by passing the box around and each person took out the required amount.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention was developed in consideration of these points, and allows a large lower box for serving rice, etc., and a small upper box for serving side dishes, etc. to be stacked on top of each other without a partition or support plate, making it possible to easily arrange side dishes. To provide a bento box which improves convenience, saves materials, and allows side dishes to be arranged for each person when taking it to a picnic or the like.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 to 3 show the bento box of the present invention. In the figures, 4 is a lower box, 5 is an upper box, 6 is a lid, and 7 is a tray that has the same shape as the lid 6 and can be used as both. It's becoming like that.

The lower box 4 is formed into a rectangular tube shape with a square bottom.

Further, the upper box 5 is formed into a rectangular tube shape with a bottom and a square plane that is one-fourth the size of the lower box 4. Furthermore, on the lower periphery of the bottom of the upper box 5, there is a third
As shown inverted in the figure, a rectangular frame-shaped step portion 9 is formed which has a thickness approximately equal to the thickness t of the opening edge portion 8 of the lower box 4.

Further, the lid 6 has the same shape as the tray 7, and the lower box 4
It is formed into a square shape in plan view, and each edge 10 is formed with a concave curved surface 11.

[Effect]

Four upper boxes 5 are arranged in a square shape and stacked on top of the lower box 4. At this time, the two adjacent sides of the step 9 formed in the shape of a square frame on the lower periphery of the bottom of the upper box 5 are engaged with and supported by the two adjacent sides of the opening edge 8 of the lower box 4, and The opposing outer surfaces 12, 12 of the upper boxes 5, 5 are in contact with each other to prevent them from falling into the inner side of the lower boxes, and can be reliably supported.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 4, when serving or eating, two upper boxes 5, 5 are placed on top of the lower box 4.
Even when stacked individually, the step portion 9 and the opening edge 8 of the lower box 4 engage with each other, and the opposing outer surfaces 12, 12 of the adjacent upper boxes 5, 5 abut and support each other.

Therefore, even if there is no support plate inside the lower box 4, two to four upper boxes 5 can be arranged and supported one on top of the other.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the lunch box according to the present invention, the small upper box 5 can be stacked and supported without any need for a support plate inside the lower box 4, and the lower box without a partition plate can be supported. Rice, rice balls, etc. can be placed in the box 4, and several types of side dishes can be placed separately in the upper box 5.

In addition, when making a large number of bento boxes at a restaurant etc., the upper box 5 for storing side dishes can be separated, so when serving side dishes, put the same type of side dishes in each upper box 5 and then combine them with the lower box 4. Compared to the conventional case of arranging bento boxes side by side, it does not require a large area and is easy to work with, and it is also possible to serve side dishes and rice in separate locations.

Also, if you are going on a picnic with your family, you can put rice balls for everyone in the lower box 4 and, for example, divide the side dishes for 4 people into each upper box 5. The side dishes can be eaten while neatly arranged in the upper box 5.
