Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a container with a small container storage section.

(Prior Art) Generally, when eating foods such as coffee jelly and pudding, cream, syrup, etc. are added to the food according to the individual's preference.

Before eating, for example, at the sales stage, the jelly and the cream are filled in separate containers.

Conventionally, a small container with a flange (portion cup) filled with cream etc. can be fitted into the leg of a container filled with a staple food such as jelly, for example, as disclosed in Utility Model No. 58-5975 and Utility Model No. 5975. 58−5976
No., Utility Model Publication No. 58-29974, etc.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In all conventional products, the distance between the main container body and the pedestal for the small container insertion part is constant and cannot be changed, so the size of the small container cannot be changed. In particular, if several heights are set, some containers cannot be inserted, so the holding means is a fixed hole or fixed protrusion, or the top of the small container is pressed against the bottom of the main container and held by the elasticity of the pedestal. It is not possible to stably support objects of different sizes.

For this reason, during the distribution process, problems such as small containers coming off due to impacts during transportation, etc. have occurred.

Therefore, even if the small container has several sizes and heights, it can be easily inserted between the main container body and the pedestal, and the small container can be stably supported after insertion. The object of the present invention is to provide a container with a small container accommodating section that can be used as a container.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following container with a small container accommodating portion.

That is, in a container in which a container body and a pedestal are connected by legs, two notches are provided inward from the periphery of the pedestal to form a flexible tongue piece whose fulcrum is the proximal end of the leg relative to the pedestal. A pedestal is formed on the pedestal, and an insertion hole for the bottom of the small container is formed in the tongue piece, and a pedestal is provided between the leg and the main container to lock the flange of the small container whose bottom is inserted into the insertion hole. This is a container with a small container accommodating portion in which an annular groove is formed that is open toward the periphery.

(Example) The embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a container with a small container accommodating portion according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof.

The main container 1 has a container body 10 and a pedestal 20 as leg parts 3.
A main food such as coffee jelly is sealed in the container body 10, and when eating this, the pedestal 20 connects to the container body 10 via the legs 30.
I am a supporter of this.

The leg portion 30 is composed of a semi-cylindrical body 31 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, and is opened toward the periphery of the pedestal that engages with the flange portion 41 of the small container 40 between the semi-cylindrical body 31 and the container body. An annular groove 32 is formed. Note that 33 is a reinforcing rib provided between the container body 10 and the pedestal 20.

The pedestal 20 has two slits 2 from its periphery.
1 and 21 are cut, thereby forming a tongue piece 23. The slits 21, 21 are
Since the cut is made close to the base end 34 of the semi-cylindrical body 31, the tongue piece 23 is adapted to bend with the base end 34 as a fulcrum.

Reference numeral 24 denotes an insertion hole formed in the tongue piece 23 at the bottom of the small container.

Therefore, in the case of this container, after pushing down the tongue piece 23 with a finger or the like and inserting the flange part 41 of the small container into the groove part 32, when the finger or the like is released, the bottom of the small container is inserted into the insertion hole 24 of the tongue piece. As a result, the small container 40 is assembled between the container body of the main container and the pedestal, and the main food and the small container can be sold as a set.

The incorporated small container will not come off unless the tongue piece 23 is pushed down, and will be securely supported with the flange portion 41 locked in the annular groove 32, and will not be subjected to excessive force as in the conventional case. Since this does not occur, it is easy to attach and detach the main container 1 and the small container 40, and there is no risk of damage to the main container 1 or the small container 40.

Further, since the leg portion is a semi-cylindrical body 31 and is further provided with reinforcing ribs, the container body 10 is firmly supported and does not wobble when eating coffee jelly or the like.

Furthermore, even if the sizes of the main container and the small containers vary, they can be accommodated.

(Effect of the invention) Since the container with the small container accommodating portion of the present invention has the above-described structure, the tongue piece is pressed down with a finger or pushed mechanically, the flange portion of the small container is inserted into the groove portion from the open side, and then the flange portion of the small container is inserted into the groove from the open side. When the pressure is released, the bottom of the small container is inserted through the insertion hole of the tongue piece, and the small container is assembled between the container body of the main container and the pedestal, and the main container and small container can be sold as a set. .

Since the upper part of the incorporated small container is held down by the lower surface of the container body, the small container inserted into the insertion hole will not come off unless the tongue piece is pushed down, and during transportation during the distribution process. Troubles such as small containers coming off due to impact, etc. will no longer occur.

Moreover, since the flange part is held in a locked state by the annular groove formed between the leg part and the main container, the small container can be held firmly and stably.
In addition, the small container can be firmly supported without applying any unreasonable force to the small container or the container itself, and there is no need to worry about the difficulty of attaching the small container as in the past, and there is no risk of damage to the container. Nor.

In addition, there is no problem even if there is some variation in the size of the main container and small containers.

In short, in the flexible tongue of the present invention, the peripheral edge of the pedestal moves up and down, so the small container insertion opening can be made into different sizes. Even in such cases, the present invention can be adapted to this situation, and the support force is ensured by holding the bottom of the small container with the insertion hole drilled in the flexible tongue, regardless of the size of the container. It has an excellent feature of being able to hold a small container securely and stably because the flange portion is held by being locked in an annular groove.
