[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple linear noodle meter for dry noodles such as udon, hiyamugi, somen, and spaghetti.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Dry noodles are usually packaged in predetermined amounts, such as 200 g or 300 g, or packed in a band or packed in a box and sold.
g is boiled in boiling water for a predetermined time, serving as a guide for serving, and is used for food.

[0003]

On the other hand, a packaging form in which an inner bag for preventing moisture is accommodated in an outer box made of corrugated paper and a large amount of dry noodles are accommodated in the inner bag without being bundled. These packaging forms are mainly used for large-volume consumption.However, in order to take out the required number of dry noodles from the inner bag, it is necessary to use the approximate amount based on the scale or use a scale We had no choice but to weigh.

[0004] However, in the case of the division, the error is large and uneasy, and the use of the scale is complicated. For this reason, there has been a demand for a simple weighing means while allowing a slight error to be within an allowable range. However, no weighing means capable of easily and quickly weighing an appropriate amount of dry noodles has been found.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention mainly provides a method for producing linear noodles such as udon, hiyamugi, somen, and spaghetti packaged in large quantities without bundling them in predetermined amounts. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple mass meter that can measure easily and quickly. For this purpose, a simple mass meter is constructed from a single piece of paperboard provided with a plurality of folds, By bending according to the following, a bottom plate portion and left and right side wall portions are formed so as to be able to be erected at positions opposed to each other with the bottom plate portion interposed therebetween, and a concave cross-section receiving portion composed of the left and right side wall portions and the bottom plate portion is formed. A predetermined amount of dry noodles can be measured by arranging and inserting dry noodles into the measurement grooves in the measurement grooves.

As the paperboard, cardboard, corrugated paper or the like is preferably used, but a hinge portion having a thinner streak-like wall made of a synthetic resin plate-like material may be used as a fold. The linear dry noodles are inserted and arranged in the measuring groove bent along the fold. At this time, a scale is provided on the inner wall of the measuring groove, that is, the left and right side walls, and a predetermined amount is set at the scale position. The dry noodles may be measured, or a predetermined amount of dry noodles may be measured by inserting the upper edges of the left and right side walls as a scale until the upper edge is cut off.

[0007] In such a simple meter that is formed by bending from paperboard, since the fold is easily restored even if the fold is properly bent, the bent state is maintained by, for example, adding a hand to improve the measuring accuracy. It is necessary to insert and arrange dry noodles in the measuring groove. Therefore, in the simple meter according to the second aspect, the left and right side walls are self-supporting and fixed, enabling the shape of the measuring groove to be maintained without the need of a hand or the like, enabling simple and quick measurement of the dried noodles. .

[0008] Specifically, on one paperboard, a bottom plate portion, left and right side wall portions disposed to face left and right across the bottom plate portion, and left and right front support members respectively disposed in front of the left and right side wall portions. The wall portion and the left and right rear support wall portions respectively arranged rearward from the left and right side wall portions are connected to each other through folds, and further, the left and right front support walls are respectively continuous in a substantially band shape through these folds. Around the part, left and right side wall and left and right rear support wall,
A simple meter was formed by forming a cut, leaving a fold between the bottom plate and the left and right side walls. In this simple dosimeter, the left and right front support walls and the left and right rear support walls are each separated from the paperboard according to the cut lines, and are bent outwardly through the folds between the left and right side walls to make the left and right side walls substantially vertical. The receiving portion is formed so as to be able to be maintained in the upright state, and the receiving section having the concave cross-section formed by the left and right side walls and the bottom plate that is erected in the vertical state is a measuring groove.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the simple dispenser made of the single paperboard is used as a part of the dry noodle packaging box. The simple meter that can form a measuring groove by bending one sheet of paperboard or by partially cutting and bending the paperboard can be enclosed in a packaging box.
By forming it on the lid or folding flap of the packaging box, integration with the packaging box can be achieved. As a result, there are obtained advantages that the weighing operation can be performed stably and the meter is not lost. .
