Description

The present invention relates to a resin packaging container suitable for packaging foods containing a relatively large amount of oil and water, and is infiltrated by water and oil exuded from the food to deteriorate the texture and taste. It is related to the configuration that prevents this from happening.

Delicatessen items sold at supermarkets are stored and displayed in packaging containers made of synthetic resin sheets, but as time goes by, components such as oil and water exude from foods, and these exudative components reattach (these exudate components). There is a problem that the texture and taste are impaired by infiltration). This is especially noticeable in fried foods such as croquettes and tempura, where the crispness of the clothes is important.

Therefore, conventionally, a tray container in which convex portions and concave grooves are alternately formed on the bottom of the container has been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2). According to these containers, when food is placed on the bottom of the container, oil is drained or drained by the convex portions (ribs of Patent Document 1 and ridges of Patent Document 2), and the exuded component from the food is a concave groove portion. It is said that it can be prevented from being discharged into an oil pool (recess) around the bottom or the like through (the inclined groove of Patent Document 1 and the valley portion of Patent Document 2) and reattaching to food.

However, in the containers of Patent Documents 1 and 2, when a large number of foods are stored in one container, for example, five croquettes are packed and sold, it is often necessary to arrange the foods in layers. In this case, there remains a problem that the oil and water infiltrate each other at the portion where the foods come into contact with each other, which also impairs the texture and taste. In particular, when foods are stacked on top of each other and served, it is difficult to maintain the quality because the underlying foods easily infiltrate.

On the other hand, Patent Document 3 discloses a tray container capable of three-dimensional serving by arranging a plurality of rows of food placing portions side by side in the front-rear method of the container and inclining the placing surface of each placing portion. However, there is no mention of how to treat the exuded ingredients from food.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to minimize overlap and contact between foods when serving foods, and to exudate from foods represented by oil and water. It is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging container that prevents the components from reattaching the separated exudative components while separating the components so as not to infiltrate other foods.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the present invention is a packaging container having a food serving portion that is provided inside the peripheral wall and is raised in a raised shape from the bottom, and the serving portion is used for serving the food. At least two rows are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction from the front side of the container toward the back side of the container via a gap portion having a certain width, and the serving portion of each row corresponds to the front side of the container and ages from the food. The food placing portion is provided with a food placing portion that is inclined with a downward gradient that allows exuding components such as oil and water to flow down, and the food placing portion has protrusions parallel to each other along the inclination on the surface thereof. A means of alternately providing portions and concave groove portions was used.

According to this means, since the food is arranged in the serving portion of each row, there is no contact (overlap) between the foods between the rows, and the exuding components do not infiltrate each other. Further, since the food is arranged so as to lean diagonally against the food placing portion in the serving portion, most of the exuded components from the food flow out to the bottom and do not reattach. In addition, since food only comes into contact with the ridges and not with the concave grooves, even if exudative components are generated in the food placing portion, they stay in the concave grooves or flow down to the bottom to reattach. Can be prevented.

If the vacant space has a downward slope from the center toward the bottom, the exudative component that has flowed into the vacant space is led out to the bottom, so that the exudative component is surely removed from the food. Can be separated into.

Since the food is slanted against the food placing portion as described above, the convex portion has an uneven shape at the top where the food comes into contact, so that an anti-slip effect of suppressing the food from slipping off can be obtained. It is possible to maintain the initial serving state and prevent contact with the separated exudative component.

On the other hand, since the food leans diagonally, it does not fall forward, but sliding to the left and right and falling are not restricted. Therefore, a flange portion extending outward is provided around the upper end of the peripheral wall, and the flange portion corresponding to the left and right of the serving portion of the flange portion has a side that bulges higher upward than the serving portion. By providing the guard portion, the above-mentioned movement is restricted, and the initial serving state can be maintained more reliably.

Further, by forming the serving portion into a trapezoidal cross section, the strength of the serving portion can be maintained, and the convex portion and the concave groove portion are continuously formed on the top surface thereof and the surface opposite to the food placing portion. By forming, it is possible to increase the discharge route of the exudative component to the bottom.

Further, the bottom portion is provided with a leg portion that bulges downward one step lower, and the exudative component that has flowed down to the bottom portion can be stored in the leg portion, so that the container can be stored in the leg portion even if the container is slightly tilted. The exudated component does not flow back to the bottom, and the separated state from the food can be more reliably maintained.

It should be noted that the serving portion is the lowest in the front row on the front side of the container and bulges higher in the rear row, so that the visibility of the food in the back row is improved as compared with the case where all the serving portions have the same height. , The arrangement is rich in volume.

By using the packaging container in the means up to this point as a container body and further providing a lid that can be attached to the container body by fitting, food can be hygienically held.

According to the present invention, for example, even when displaying tempura or fried foods rich in oil, there is little contact between foods, and exudative components from foods can be reliably separated from foods. Therefore, the optimum condition can be maintained until the purchaser prepares the food.

Perspective view of a packaging container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Same as above, plan view Same as above, AA line end view Same as above, BB line end view The same, explanatory diagram showing the usage state Same as above, CC line end view Front view showing the same packaging container as the container body together with the lid

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 5 show a packaging container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as will be described later, the container functions as a container main body when a lid is provided. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, the container. It will be referred to as the main body. As an example, this container body has a rectangular shape in a plan view in which four sides are surrounded by a peripheral wall 1, and inside the peripheral wall 1, a first serving portion 3 and a second serving portion 4 bulge upward via a bottom portion 2. It is provided to be served. The first serving portion 3 and the second serving portion 4 are portions for serving food, respectively, and are structurally provided in two rows in front and behind from the front side of the container to the back side of the container when serving food. There is.

Further, as will be described later, the difference between the first serving portion 3 and the second serving portion 4 is that the height of the second serving portion 4 on the back side of the first serving portion 3 on the front side is increased from the bottom. However, the other basic structures are the same for both 3.4.

That is, both of the serving portions 3 and 4 have a trapezoidal cross-section as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, and the slope on the front side of the container is the placing portions 3a and 4a of the food F. The food placing portions 3a and 4a are inclined with a downward gradient that allows exuded components such as oil and water exuded from the food F to flow down to the bottom side. However, the angle is not limited to a specific angle, and may be larger or smaller than the illustrated angle.

The food placing portions 3a and 4a are provided with a plurality of sets of convex portions 3b and 4b and concave groove portions 3c and 4c alternately arranged in parallel on the surface thereof along an inclination. Further, in this embodiment, the convex portions 3b / 4b and the concave groove portions 3c / 4c are continuously formed from the food placing portions 3a / 4a on the top surface 3d / 4d and the back surface 3e / 4e of the serving portion 3.4. Is forming up to.

Further, in this embodiment, lateral grooves 3f / 4f having both left and right ends open are provided at equal intervals on the tops of the convex portions 3b / 4b exposed on the food placing portions 3a / 4a, and the tops are formed into an uneven shape. There is.

According to the above configuration, since the food F is divided into the first serving portion 3 and the second serving portion 4, the foods F do not come into contact with each other between the two serving portions 3 and 4. Therefore, the foods F do not infiltrate each other with each other's exudative components.

Further, the food F is arranged so as to lean diagonally against each of the food placing portions 3a and 4a. At this time, the food F is leaned against the food placing portions 3a and 4a in a state of being in contact with only the convex portions 3b and 4b. In addition, the surface irregularities of the ridges 3b and 4b suppress the slip-off.

When oil or water exudes from the food F arranged in this way over time, what exudes from the lower end of the food F is the peripheral wall 1 supporting the lower end of the food F of the first serving portion 3. In the case of the food F of the second serving portion 4, it flows down along the back surface 3e of the first serving portion 3 that supports the lower end. Further, in the range of contact with the food placing portions 3a and 4a, the exudative component flows into the concave groove portions 3c and 4c and flows down due to the downward gradient of the food placing portions 3a and 4a. Therefore, the exudative component is effectively separated from the food F and does not reattach.

Here, a space portion 5 having a certain width is provided between the first serving portion 3 and the second serving portion 4. Therefore, most of the exuded components from the food F served on the second serving portion 4 flow down to the gap portion 5 along the concave groove portion 4c. Then, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the gap portion 5 is provided with a downward slope slope portion 5a from the center to the bottom portion 2 on each of the left and right sides thereof, so that the exudation flowing down into the gap portion 5 is provided. The component will flow out to the bottom 2 by the inclined portion 5a, and reattachment to the food F will be more reliably prevented.

Further, in this embodiment, since the leg portion 6 that bulges downward one step lower is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom portion 2, the exudative component that has flowed into the bottom portion 2 is finally stored in the leg portion 6. The exudative component does not reattach to the food F due to the backflow from the bottom 2.

In order to improve the appearance of the served food F, in this embodiment, the height H1 from the bottom 2 of the first serving portion 3 located in the front row (even if the height is from the leg portion 6 is technical). The height H2 from the bottom 2 of the second serving portion 4 located in the back row is made larger than that (synonymous with). Therefore, the visibility of the food F placed on the second serving portion 4 in the back row is improved, and at the same time, the serving mode is rich in volume as a whole.

Further, in this embodiment, in order to apply the lid 7 with the packaging container as the container body, a fitting portion 9 (outer fitting) with the lid 7 is provided on the outside of the peripheral wall 2 via the flange portion 8. It is provided. As a result, the food F can be kept hygienic.

Further, the left and right flange portions 8 are provided with side guard portions 10 protruding upward. The side guard portion 10 has a height H3 from the leg portion 6 (technically synonymous even if it is a height from the bottom portion 2) larger than the height H2 of the second serving portion 4. Therefore, even if the food F tries to be displaced to the left or right by tilting the container to the left or right, it is regulated by the side guard portion 10 and the initial serving state is maintained.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and at least two front and rear rows of serving portions are provided via gaps, and convex portions and concave groove portions are provided on the surface of each food placing portion. As long as it is formed, it is possible to freely decide whether or not to adopt it for other details.
