Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a container that can separately store two types of contents, such as food, in one container and that can be easily taken out. The present invention also relates to a container particularly suitable for first food containers.

(Prior Art) Until now, containers for storing two types of contents, such as food and sauce, have two storage parts.
Dish-shaped containers with compartments are known. However, if a container of this type is made into a handy size that can be held with one hand,
This has the drawback that the space of each of the two storage sections becomes smaller, so that the amount of stored contents is reduced and it is difficult to take out the contents.

On the other hand, when two types of foods are stored in separate containers, convenience cannot be obtained. In such an embodiment, for example, when eating food while standing at a First Foods store where there is no table, or when eating food purchased at a First Foods store while walking in a pedestrian zone, etc. Eating operations become complicated.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a container that can store two types of contents separately. Another object of the present invention is to provide a container that can be held with one hand and whose contents can be easily taken out with the other hand, and is particularly suitable for fast food containers.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has achieved the above object, and its gist is that a cylindrical shape made of a flexible material has an open part at the top and a through hole at the bottom. A container comprising: a container body; a cylindrical container slidably inserted and fixed into a through hole of the container body; and a cup-shaped container housed and fixed in an upper opening of the container body. .

The container of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along lines a and a' in FIG.

The container main body 2 is cylindrical and has an open portion 3 at the top, and a notch 5 is provided in the opposing surfaces of the lower part of the side wall 4, thereby forming a through hole 7. The shape of the container body 2 is arbitrary as long as it is cylindrical, and in addition to the inverted truncated conical shape shown in the figure, it can also be made into a prismatic shape as shown in FIG. 3. The presence or absence of the bottom wall 9 of the container body 2 is optional. Although the size of the container body 2 is not particularly limited, it is desirable that the diameter of the cylinder be about 35 mm to 90 mm in order to obtain stability and handyness when the container 1 is placed.

The shape and size of the notch 5 provided on the opposing surfaces of the lower side wall 4 of the container body 2, that is, the shape and size of the cross section of the through hole 7, are approximately the same shape and size as the cross section of the cylindrical container 6 described later. formed by size. With the above configuration, when a cylindrical container 6, which will be described later, is inserted through the notch 5, it can be stably fixed. It is desirable that the above-mentioned notch 5 be provided with as large an area as possible without impairing the strength of the container body 2. Thereby, a cylindrical container 6 with a large storage capacity can be inserted. Moreover, it is desirable that the notch 5 be provided as far down as possible from the container body 2. As a result, the upper opening part 3 of the container body 2
This makes it possible to store the cup-shaped container 12 with a large storage capacity, and to obtain stability when the container 1 is placed.

In the illustrated example, the through hole 7 for inserting and fixing the cylindrical container 6 is formed by providing a notch 5 in the opposing surfaces of the lower side wall 4 of the container body 2 (that is, no inner wall is provided). However, it is also possible to form the through hole 7 by punching a hole 8 in the container body 2 having an appropriately shaped inner wall that may or may not penetrate the container body 2 (see FIG. 4).

The container body 2 may be provided with a flange 10 protruding outward at the upper opening portion 3 in order to facilitate the storage and fixing of a cup-shaped container 12 to be described later.

In the present invention, the container body 2 is formed of a flexible material. Examples of flexible materials include various synthetic resins, foams thereof, and paper materials. Among the above materials, it is particularly desirable to use a foamed synthetic resin selected from foamed polystyrene, foamed polypropylene, and foamed polyethylene. In addition, the thickness of the above material is
The thickness is preferably 1.5 mm to 15 mm, preferably 2 mm to 6 mm.

By forming the container body 2 from the above-mentioned flexible material, the cylindrical container 6 can be formed through the through hole 7 of the container body 2.
The cylindrical container 6 can be easily inserted into the container body 2, the cylindrical container 6 can be easily slid along the through hole 7, and the inserted cylindrical container 6 can be stably fixed to the container body 2. I can do it.

The cylindrical container 6 is slidably inserted and fixed into the through hole 7 of the container body 2, has an upper opening 11, and has an arbitrary cross section, such as circular, triangular,
It can be formed into any size, such as a square or hexagon.
It is preferable that the cylindrical container 6 has a rectangular cross section, since this allows the cylindrical container 6 to be more stably fixed to the container body 2 when the cylindrical container 6 is inserted into the through hole 7 of the container body 2. The length of the cylindrical container 6 in the longitudinal direction (the direction in which it is inserted into the container body 2) is at least twice the diameter of the container body 2, preferably 2.5 to 4.0 times. This is desirable because it makes it easier to take out the contents from the opening 11. In addition, the cylindrical container 6
An appropriate lid member 15 can be provided on the upper open portion 11 of the housing. The lid member 15 may be provided so as to automatically open when the cylindrical container 6 is slid along the through hole 7 of the container body 2.

The cup-shaped container 12 is a container that is stored and fixed in the upper opening part 3 of the container main body 2 (including a container that is removably stored and fixed in the upper opening part 3 of the container main body 2). It is formed in a shape and size that does not interfere with insertion and fixation into the main body 2. Incidentally, the upper open portion 13 of the cup-shaped container 12 can be covered with an easily peelable lid material. Further, the cup-shaped container 12 may be provided with an outwardly projecting flange 14 for better storage and fixation in the container body 2, or a side wall may be provided with a taper substantially similar to the taper of the container body 2. When used as a beverage container, it can also be a container with a straw. The cup-shaped container 12 and the cylindrical container 6 may be made of any material as long as it is moldable, and examples thereof include various synthetic resins, paper materials (corrugated paper, etc.), and the like.

The container 1 of the present invention is constructed by combining the containers described above. The combination involves inserting and fixing the cylindrical container 6 into the through hole 7 at the bottom of the container body 2 (the cylindrical container 6 is inserted through the notch 5 provided on the opposing surface of the side wall 4 of the container body 2), and This is done by storing and fixing the cup-shaped container 12 in the upper opening 3 of the main body 2. In other words, the cylindrical container 6 and the cup-shaped container 12 are combined by the container body 2 to form the container 1 having two storage spaces.

In the above case, since the container body 2 has flexibility, it is easy to insert the cylindrical container 6 into the through hole 7 provided therein, and in the inserted state, the cylindrical container 6 can be inserted into the container body. 2 can be stably fixed. Further, the cylindrical container 6 can be slid along the through hole 7 of the container body 2, and thereby the degree of opening of the opening portion 13 can be adjusted. According to the container shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical container 6 is slidably inserted and fixed into the hole 8 of the container body 2.

(Effect of the invention) According to the container 1 of the present invention having the above-described configuration, different contents are stored in each of the cylindrical container 6 and the cup-shaped container 12, and these can be easily combined by the container body 2 in any combination. It can be used as Therefore, when used in a First Foods store, for example,
The cylindrical container 6 stores solid foods such as chicken nuggets, potatoes, and snacks, and the cup-shaped container 12 stores seasoning liquids such as sauce, drinks, solid foods, etc.
Appropriate combinations of cylindrical containers 6 and cup-shaped containers 12 can be provided according to customer orders. In addition, when eating food using the container 1 of the present invention, hold the container 1 with one hand and hold the container 1 with the other hand.
You can take out and eat different types of food at the same time.

In view of the above, the container 1 of the present invention is very suitable as a first food container or a container for walking.
