Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to store instant rice in a form in which pregelatinized rice is swollen by immersing it in water or hot water and eaten for emergency such as a disaster.
The present invention relates to a package of pregelatinized rice for preserving prepackaged rice for long-term storage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-43013,
There is disclosed a package for cooking pre-gelatinized grains in which a pre-gelatinized rice is filled in a first plastic bag, and is further packaged in a plurality of bags and packed in an outer packaging box. This product can provide a large amount of cooked rice at the same time in an emergency and can be preserved for a long time as pregelatinized rice, and is effective as a food to be stored in case of disaster.

In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-33110,
A packaged rice for instant cooking is disclosed in which pregelatinized dried rice is charged into a heat-resistant synthetic resin film having continuous holes and exhaust holes. In this product, instant rice is sealed in a packaging bag of a heat-resistant synthetic resin film, and rice can be easily provided by immersing it in water or hot water.

[0004] Japanese Patent No. 2574000 discloses a method in which alpha rice is filled in a plastic container, hot water is poured into the container, the lid is covered, and then left for a predetermined time to obtain "rice balls". "Onigiri" easily as above
Can provide rice-shaped rice.

[0005]

The technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 743013 is effective because a large amount of cooked rice can be provided at the same time in an emergency, and in the technique disclosed herein, rice scoops and dishes are used as lunch accessories. , Forks, spoons, cups, chopsticks, etc. are included. Of these accessories, rice scoops and dishes are essential items for quick distribution in emergency situations and for providing ready-to-eat rice. However, it is necessary to separate the finished cooked rice into individual containers for serving using these accessories, and even if it can be easily provided, in the sense that it can be provided quickly in an emergency, it is necessary to use a hand. Even if the time required for the operation of the cooked rice is short, it is frustrating for the victims.

[0006] Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-33110 and Patent No. 2
Japanese Patent No. 574000 discloses a processed rice and a container for instant cooking, and does not have a function of simultaneously providing a large amount of cooked rice in an emergency. In other words, the purpose is to eat rice alone for camping and hiking, etc., and it cannot be said that this alone could cope with an emergency. Further, the purpose is to eat only “rice ball” shaped rice, and it does not take into account the presence of seasonings and ingredients. In other words, given the current situation in which the eating habits have become rich, it is hoped that the rice will be somewhat seasoned rather than providing only rice, even in the event of a disaster. There is no devised composition for adding seasonings such as "sprinkles" to rice balls.

[0007] By the above three techniques, a technique of storing a large amount of packaged rice or a container in an outer box can be recalled, and at the same time, a large quantity of cooked rice can be provided in a fixed amount.
Since the packaged rice in Jikken 46-33110 is a packaging bag, the packaging bag is always removed for eating. In other words, when eating rice, the packaging bag can be used as a wrapper, but it has no other value and is garbage,
It cannot be used for another purpose. Patent No. 257400
The container in No. 0 is a plastic container, but when eating rice with "onigiri" shape, it must be taken out of the container, and the plastic container is "onigiri".
It is used only for expanding rice-shaped rice.

[0008] As described above, when the pregelatinized rice is expanded in a packaging bag or container and processed into cooked rice, the purpose is to make so-called cooked rice easily or to make "rice ball". Provided as In this state, even if a seasoning such as a sprinkle is attached, a separate container must be prepared in order to use the sprinkle. In other words, you have to transfer cooked rice or rice cooked in a different container and sprinkle it on that container, and even if you sprinkle onigiri while holding it in your hand, considerable sprinkle will be wasted I will. If this is sprinkled, this amount is sufficient, but if it is another side ingredient, the presence of another container is indispensable. The necessity of a separate container increases the bulk of the container, leading to an increase in the size of the packing box.
Requires large storage space.

[0009] Frozen cooked rice and the like are provided in a sealed state by putting cooked rice in a molded container, but these cannot expand the pregelatinized rice. It is intended to provide cooked rice, not pre-gelatinized rice, so that the frozen rice container is not a perforated container, so long-term storage for emergency storage is impossible. is there.

[0010] From the above, in providing a large amount of cooked rice with pregelatinized rice in the event of a disaster, there is no need for a separate container for sorting cooked rice, sprinkling and other side ingredients,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a package of pre-gelatinized rice grains that can be taken out as it is in an inflated container and immediately eat other seasonings and ingredients in the same container even when using another seasoning. Things.

[0011]

According to the present invention, an instant rice comprising a perforated container having a space of a predetermined capacity and a pregelatinized rice filled with a space for expansion in the space of the perforated container. A pack, a plurality of the instant rice packs, a waterproof bag capable of storing water, a waterproof bag capable of storing water, an outer bag including the waterproof bag, capable of sealing a bag mouth, and having a gas barrier property, and the outer bag. This is a means for solving the above-mentioned problem as a package of pre-gelatinized grains, which is formed so as to be robust enough to be carried inside and has an openable top cover.

The pre-gelatinized rice as an instant rice pack is enclosed in a waterproof bag, sealed and sealed in an outer bag, and protected by an outer box, so that it can be stored for a long time and can withstand stockpiling for disasters. It is. In use, a hot water bag is preferably used in the outer box to supply hot water to the instant rice pack by injecting hot water. The instant rice pack is a perforated container, Water is supplied to the container space, and the pregelatinized rice is expanded by hot water. After a predetermined time, the pregelatinized rice becomes cooked rice in the container. When the expansion of the pregelatinized rice is completed, the ready-to-serve food can be served in the instant package without having to share the cooked rice. Since it can be used as an instant pack, it does not need to be grabbed and eaten by hand like a conventional "rice ball", and does not require a separate container like conventional rice. In other words, sprinkles that add flavor to cooked rice can be easily sprinkled on the cooked rice in a container, so even when the supplies are low,
Do not waste them. Further, even if there are other side ingredients, they can be eaten with rice in a container, so that another container is not required. From the above, in the case of rice for emergency use, the above-mentioned configuration, that is, pre-gelatinized rice, a perforated container, a waterproof bag, an outer bag and an outer box, can be stored as an emergency food that can be stored for a long time. After the puffing process, it is possible to provide cooked rice with a container that can be used for other purposes without being particularly necessary for serving meals.
Due to the presence of the container, other ingredients can be eaten as a side meal as it is. In addition, since the instant rice pack can be moved as it is, it can be opened just before eating, and even if it is dropped during the congestion during a disaster, the cooked rice is protected by the container.

Further, since the perforated container is composed of a container having a space consisting of an opening and a non-perforated bottom and a perforated film for closing the opening of the container, if the film is removed from the perforated container, the container becomes empty. Even if it serves as a container for holes and is accompanied by a side meal containing water, moisture can be prevented from leaking from the container and eating can be performed comfortably. The shape and strength of the container should be appropriately designed according to the amount of cooked rice and the temperature of hot water used.

Since the perforated container is a unitary container having a plurality of containers having a predetermined capacity and the same shape in a plane,
Even when stored in the box, the plurality of instant rice packs are stored integrally, and adjacent instant rice packs are stably stored in the box without being rattled during transportation. Also,
Since the required number of servings can also be appropriately separated and handed together, the mental labor and labor spent in the work of handing out and handing out individual pieces can be eliminated.
The number of containers arranged in a plane should be appropriately designed according to the amount of cooked rice and the strength of the container.

Since the integral container is provided with a cut-off portion for each container having a predetermined capacity, no other tool is required for the operation of separating the container. Therefore, if only the package of pregelatinized rice and hot water are used, they can be easily used without the need for extra tools or containers. The position, shape, and size of the separation portion should be appropriately designed depending on the material and thickness of the container.

Since the integral container has an outer dimension which can be inserted into the outer box with a gap larger than the thickness of the waterproof bag and the outer bag, the integral container is stably almost fixed in the box and is integrated in the box. Rattle can be minimized. Since the integrated container is stored with the waterproof bag and the outer bag inside the outer box, the difference between the outer dimensions of the integrated container and the inner diameter of the outer box does not take much time for storage and the dimensional difference is minimized. In this manner, the strength of the package can be enhanced integrally with the outer box with a minimum of rattling.

Since the integral container has a water reservoir for water injected separately from the container, the integral container and water (hot water)
If there is, there is no need for a separate large box for putting a large amount of pregelatinized rice as before, and the pregelatinized rice can be expanded on its own. Therefore, it is not something that cannot be distributed without cooking, but it is also possible to distribute only the integral container without cooking if the water can be prepared by the people who need it.

The outer box is provided with an upper space in addition to the space for storing the waterproof bag containing the instant rice pack, and the upper space stores the accessories for eating through the partition, so that the rice can be simply provided. Not just the packaging, but everything but hot water is ready. Here, at least one of chopsticks, spoons, and forks may be used as the minimum accessories. Preferably, in addition, sprinkling or the like may be used as a supplementary ingredient.
