Description

  The present invention relates to a plastic food molding container for molding a sol food material.

  The appearance of Japanese sweets such as Mizu-miso is very important, and by making the colors and shapes beautiful, you can make the taste more enjoyable and enjoy the food. Therefore, such foods may be eaten side by side with different colors on one dish.

  Conventionally, when two or more foods of different types are to be served, an operation of serving foods separately molded in a food molding container one by one has been performed. However, this method is troublesome because the number of foods to be served is increased.

  Thus, a food molded container that can be connected to a plurality of food molded containers to simultaneously serve a plurality of foods has been studied. This food molding container is equipped with a partition to prevent food from mixing in the boundary part (connecting part) of multiple food molding chambers, and its height is the same as the outer frame that limits the lateral spread of the food material It is. In this food molding container, when different food materials are injected into adjacent food molding chambers, food can be injected only to a height not exceeding the partition wall in order to prevent the food materials from mixing with each other.

  It is difficult to stop the food material injection at the same height as the septum because of the performance of the device for injecting the food material or the limitations of the skill of the operator. Therefore, if care is taken not to mix the food materials, the food materials will be lower than the partition walls and the outer frame. If the food is sealed in this state, air is mixed in by the amount of the food material lower than that of the partition walls and the outer frame, which causes oxidation and rot of the food and is not suitable for storage. In addition, air bubbles are mixed in the food material, and the finished food looks bad.

  Therefore, in view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a plastic food molded container capable of molding two or more foods simultaneously without being mixed with excess air and beautifully serving them.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a food molded container according to the present invention divides a bottom surface, an outer frame that restricts the lateral spread of the food material to be injected in contact with the bottom surface, and a container surrounded by the outer frame. And a partition wall protruding slightly in the opposite direction to the bottom surface than the outer frame. The bottom surface is provided with means for introducing air into the food molding chamber, for example an air hole covered with a removable lid. The removable sealing material for sealing food is thermocompression-bonded while the protruding portion of the partition wall is deformed by heat.

  Preferably, the bottom surface is a removable sealing material that is thermocompression bonded.

  In this specification, the sol food material is a food material that has fluidity and is solidified by keeping it at a normal temperature or a low temperature for a certain period of time. For example, materials such as water sheep cake, agar, jelly, and pudding are mixed. Refers to the combined state before molding.

  This protruding partition allows different food materials to be poured up to the height of the outer frame without intermingling. Furthermore, when the sealing material is heat-bonded to the opposite side of the bottom surface, the protruding part of the partition wall is deformed by heat, so that the protruding part of the partition wall is flush with the outer frame, and the food is sealed without any excess air mixing. it can.

  Furthermore, the molded food can be placed on a plate or the like while maintaining the relative positional relationship between the multiple foods as well as maintaining the molded shape of each. . Thereby, the food provider can easily perform effective arrangement for making the food look beautiful.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a food molded container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Fig.1 (a) is a perspective view which shows the 1st Example of the food molding container based on this invention before food material injection | pouring. The container main body 1 in FIG. 1A is made of plastic having thermoplasticity, and has two food molding chambers 2a and 2b. The outer frame 3 forms the side surfaces of the food molding chambers 2a and 2b and restricts the lateral spread of the injected food material. In this example, the height h of the outer frame 3 is about 30 mm. Each of the food molding chambers 2a and 2b is partitioned by a partition wall 5 having a protruding portion 5a that slightly protrudes in a direction opposite to the bottom seal material 8 relative to the outer frame 3. The bottom surface sealing material 8 is preliminarily heat-pressed to the bottom surface side of the outer frame 3 and the partition wall 5 before the food material is injected, and plays a role of supporting the food material injected into the food molding chambers 2a and 2b.

  FIG.1 (b) is the cross-sectional view which looked at the food molded container of the 1st Example from the upper direction. In this example, the food molding chamber 2a is connected to the food molding chamber 2b via the partition wall 5 with an offset of 3b (about 10 mm) in the downward direction of the figure. The short sides X and long sides Y of the food molding chambers 2a and 2b are equal in length. The lengths of the offsets 3a and 3b are also equal. The short sides and long sides of the food molding chambers 2a and 2b are about 25 mm and about 40 mm, respectively.

  FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the container body according to the first embodiment after the food material is injected. The sol-like food material overflows from the outer frame 3 into the food molding chambers 2 a and 2 b from the upper side and is injected to such an extent that it does not exceed the protruding portion 5 a of the partition wall 5. As a result, the foods 6 a and 6 b formed by the outer frame 3, the bottom surface sealing material 8, and the partition wall 5 after being injected have substantially the same height as the outer frame 3.

  FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the food molded container according to the first embodiment in which the food is sealed with a removable top seal 7 after the food material is injected. The upper surface sealing material 7 is thermocompression bonded to the upper surface side of the outer frame 3 and the partition wall 5. At this time, the slight protruding portion 5a of the partition wall 5 is pressure-bonded to the upper surface sealing material 7 while being deformed by heat. Thereby, the partition wall 5 becomes substantially the same height as the outer frame 3, and the molded foods 6a and 6b can be sealed by the container main body 1 and the upper surface sealing material 7 without mixing in excess air.

  The height of the protruding portion 5a of the partition wall 5 mainly depends on the material of the outer frame 3 and the partition protruding portion 5a, the performance of the food material injection device or the skill of the operator, the temperature when the upper surface sealing material 7 is thermocompression bonded, etc. It is determined as appropriate (in this example, about 0.3 to 0.5 mm).

  In the 1st Example shown in FIGS. 1-3, the shape | molded food 6a, 6b can be taken out with the following procedure. That is, when the bottom surface sealing material 7 is peeled off with the bottom surface sealing material 8 facing upward with the bottom surface sealing material 7 peeled off, the air enters between the container and the food, The molded foods 6a and 6b fall on a dish or the like. At this time, the molded foods 6a and 6b are placed on a plate or the like while maintaining the relative shape between the foods as well as maintaining the molded shape of each.

  In the placing procedure, the bottom seal material 8 may be directed downward, and the order in which the top seal material 7 and the bottom seal material 8 are peeled off may be reversed.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which food is served using the food molded container according to the first embodiment. The molded foods 6a and 6b are eaten by being offset and placed on a plate or the like as intended to look beautiful in consideration of the color, shape, etc. of the food.

  FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a second embodiment of the food molded container according to the present invention. The food molded container of FIG. 5 includes a bottom surface 4 formed integrally with the outer frame 3 and the partition wall 5 instead of the bottom surface sealing material 8 according to the first embodiment. The bottom surface 4 is provided with means 9 for introducing air into the food molding chamber, such as an air hole covered with a removable lid, and can be placed on a plate or the like as in the first embodiment. it can. That is, after the air is fed into the food molding chamber, the bottom surface 4 is directed upward, the air is floated on a plate or the like, and the top sealing material 7 is peeled off. You can drop it on and place it as you intended.
