[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to provide liquid foods and beverages containing ingredients such as miso soup, soup, ramen, etc. in a fast food style at a cash register sale at a convenience store or the like, the work at the store is excellent in simplicity, and It is desired to use a method or a package having excellent hygiene and take-out properties. However, as is generally the case when selling soups at fast food stores, filling empty containers at the store and providing it with a lid over it lacks the convenience of store work and takes away Lack of sex. In addition, as is conventionally done in lunch boxes and convenience stores, when ordering miso soup that has been prepared and stored, the clerk puts it in an empty container, adds the necessary condiments every time, and provides it with a lid over it. However, it also lacks convenience in store work and lacks take-out.

The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-130295, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 53-148742, and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No.
No. 7093 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-9171 disclose the contents in a state where the contents are filled and sealed in advance, and enable partial opening while maintaining the sealing property at the time of distribution. In order to provide a fast food style at a cash register sale at a convenience store or the like, it is too costly for a packaging form to be provided.

[0006] Accordingly, the workability of the clerk when providing liquid food and drink including ingredients such as miso soup, soup and ramen in a fast food style at a cash register sale at a convenience store or the like is improved, thereby improving hygiene and take-out. It is also an issue to achieve cost reduction. An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0007]

In order to provide miso soup in a fast food style at a cash register sale at a convenience store or the like, the present inventor considers the workability of a clerk and prepares a container containing dried and baked goods in advance. Use it, put a miso soup dispenser in the cash register, pour the miso soup into a container that dries quickly at the time of ordering, re-seal and deliver the product to the customer, and realize a packaging form with excellent workability for that, It has improved hygiene and take-out properties, and has achieved a reduction in cost.

An opening formed by a partially discontinuous annular cut is provided, and a label is adhered to a position on the outer surface of the lid so as to be easily peelable and resealable. This container is prepared, for example, in a cash register of a store in a state where ingredients are sealed in advance. The fluid to be injected is separately prepared in the same register, for example, in a dispenser. Then, for example, when a customer places an order, when the clerk peels off the label of the container, the lid is lifted with the inside of the annular cut attached to the label, and the opening is opened. Then, the fluid can be injected from the dispenser using the opening. Therefore, store operations are simple and sanitary. After the fluid is injected, when the label is returned and pressed down, the opening is sealed again. For this reason, leakage of the contents when moving in the store or taking home is less likely to occur. In addition, since the contents are only ingredients at the time of distribution, the seal of the opening can be sufficiently maintained by the label. Therefore,
The lid itself does not need to have a complicated layer structure, and the cost is low. Further, in this container, the ingredients do not adhere to the adhesive surface of the label before opening. Also, even when opened, the lid material at the opening remains attached to the label, and at the discontinuous part it is connected to the lid body, so it will be covered at the original position when resealing, and the adhesive surface of the label will not be exposed inside the container . Therefore, even after resealing, the contents do not adhere to the adhesive surface of the label.

Further, the ingredient-containing container according to claim 2 is the one according to claim 1, wherein the label is adhered by an adhesive. In this case, the label can maintain the sealing property at the time of distribution, and can be easily peeled off and resealed.

[0010] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the ingredient-containing container according to the first aspect, wherein the label is adhered with a cold sealant. Also in this case, the label can maintain the sealing property at the time of distribution, and can be easily peeled off and resealed.

The container with the ingredient according to claim 4 is the one according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the lid is made of a film material and is heat-sealed to the upper edge of the container body. In this case, the lid made of a film material is fixed to the upper edge of the container body until the lid itself is peeled off, so that the lid does not come off and the contents leak when taken back. In addition, it is easy to peel off the entire lid by hand at the time of eating and drinking.

The container with the ingredients according to claim 5 is the one according to claim 4, which is entirely shrink-wrapped with a shrink film. In this case, it is possible to determine whether or not the container has already been opened, and misuse such as mischief can be prevented.

[0013] Further, the container with ingredients according to claim 6 is the container according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the lid is a molded product,
It is fitted to the upper edge of the container body. in this case,
It is easy to remove the lid when eating and drinking.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided the ingredient-containing container according to the sixth aspect, wherein at least a lid fitting portion is shrink-wrapped with a shrink film. in this case,
During distribution, the lid can be securely fixed by fitting. In the case where the lid fitting part is shrink-wrapped while leaving the label part, the label can be peeled off without removing the shrink film, the fluid can be injected, resealed, and given to the customer. It is possible to reliably prevent the contents from leaking out.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an ingredient-containing container according to the seventh aspect, wherein an abuse-preventing paper piece is locked between the top surface of the lid and the shrink film, and only the paper piece is removed without removing the shrink film. And remove the label for use. In this case, since the paper piece once removed cannot be easily returned to the original, it is possible to determine whether or not the container has already been opened, which is effective in preventing misuse such as mischief.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show an example of the embodiment. This example is an example of a miso soup cup sold at a store cash register. 1 is an external perspective view of a miso soup cup, FIG. 2 is a structural explanatory view showing the cup disassembled into a cup body, a lid, and a label, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of a manufacturing method of the cup.

The miso soup cup 1 is prepared by putting a dry oyster (not shown) in a cup body 2 of a foamed polystyrene molded product, and covering the lid 3 of a laminated film having a laminated structure of paper / polyethylene / aluminum / polyethylene. Is heat-sealed to the upper edge of the cup 2, a resealable adhesive label (label having an adhesive layer on the back surface) 4 is attached to a predetermined position on the outer surface of the lid, and the whole is completely completed with a polypropylene shrink film 5. It is shrink-wrapped so as to cover it. The lid 3 has an annular cut 6 that is discontinuous at one location substantially at the center. This break 6
Is to form an opening for pouring miso soup in a store. The adhesive label 4 is adhered to a position covering the opening formed by the cut 6, and seals the opening. The adhesive label 4 is provided with a peeling piece 4a on one side without an adhesive layer or with a release paper adhered thereto. The pressure-sensitive adhesive label 4 is attached in such a manner that the portion of the strip 4a is on the opposite side to the discontinuous portion of the cut 6.

The container body is not limited to a molded product of a foam material,
A paper cup or the like may be used. The label for sealing the opening may be anything other than an adhesive label as long as it has a sealing property, is easy to peel off, and can be resealed. For example, a cold sealant (for example, natural rubber, natural rubber) It may be an emulsion of a rubber-modified product, a synthetic rubber or the like or a mixed emulsion of these, and can be adhered to each other at room temperature only by applying pressure).

[0020] The miso soup cup 1 in which the dried oyster is sealed in advance as described above is placed in a cash register of a convenience store or the like. A miso soup dispenser is installed in the cash register. When a customer orders miso soup, the clerk
The shrink film 5 covering the miso soup cup 1 is peeled off, and then the adhesive label 4 is peeled off. Then, inject the miso soup from the dispenser, reseal and hand over to the customer. The customer holds the peeling piece 3a protruding from one side of the lid 3 of the laminated film, peels off the entire lid 3, and drinks miso soup.

Next, a method of manufacturing the miso soup cup 1 when an adhesive label is used will be described with reference to FIG.

The cup 2 of the expanded polystyrene molded article as the container body is transported in a vertical position on a conveyor (not shown) in one direction (from the upper right to the lower left in FIG. 3).
Then, at the position shown by the arrow in FIG. 3 on the upstream side of the transfer route, the filling of the ingredients, that is, the dry material is performed. On the other hand, the cover material film 3A
Is fed out in the transfer direction.

At the position shown by an arrow in FIG. 3, a cut is made in the fed-out lid material film 3A to make a cut 6 at a predetermined position.

After cutting and labeling, the lid material film 3A is superimposed on the top surface of the cup body 2 and heat-sealed to the upper edge of the cup at the position indicated by the arrow in FIG. , The individual lids 3 at the positions indicated by the arrows
It is cut (trimmed) into a shape.

Thus, the soup cup 1 containing the ingredients is completed. Then, the completed miso soup cup 1 is sequentially discharged from the conveyer, while the trimmed portion of the lid film 3A is wound up as scrap.

The discharged miso soup cup 1 is shrink-wrapped by the shrink film 5 in the next step. Note that shrink wrap may not always be necessary. In that case, the shrink wrap may be omitted.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show another example of the embodiment. This example is also an example of a miso soup cup sold at a store cash register, and FIG. 4 is an external perspective view thereof, and FIG. 5 is a structural explanatory view showing the cup disassembled into a cup body, a lid, and a label.

Only in this case, the soup cup 11 has a container body 12 of a foamed polystyrene molded product,
The point that the drying is not filled beforehand is the same as the previous example, and the lid is different from the previous example. That is, the lid 13 in this case is formed by vacuum-molding a polyester sheet into a cap shape. The lid 13 is covered with the cup body 12, and the peripheral edge portion is fitted and fixed to the upper edge portion of the cup 12. The lid 13 also has an annular cut 16 formed at an approximately center position, which is annular and forms one discontinuity. At the position covering the opening formed by the cut 16, the same adhesive label 14 as in the previous example is applied so as to seal the opening, and the portion of the peeling piece 14 a is also a discontinuous portion of the cut 16. It is affixed on the opposite side of the layout. Further, in this example, the upper half portion of the container including the lid fitting portion is shrink-wrapped with the shrink film 15 of polyvinyl chloride. It should be noted that the shrink wrap may reach the lower half of the container. Also in this example, the container body is not limited to a molded product of a foam material, but may be a paper cup or the like. In addition, the label for sealing the opening may be anything other than an adhesive label, as long as it has a sealing property, is easy to peel off, and can be resealable, for example, it is bonded using a cold sealant. There may be.

In this example, at the time of ordering, the clerk peels off the adhesive label 14 while leaving the shrink film 15 as it is,
Inject the miso soup from the dispenser, reseal and hand over to the customer. Then, after peeling the shrink film 15, the customer removes the lid 13 and drinks miso soup.

In this case, when manufacturing the soup cup 11, the cup body 12 of the foamed polystyrene molded product as the container body is also transferred in a vertical position in a vertical position, and is filled with the dry material as the ingredient in the middle. . On the other hand, as for the lid 13, a printed polyester sheet is unwound from a roll, inserted into a mold, and vacuum-molded.
A cut is made to make a cut 16 in place and then cut into individual lids 13. Then, the adhesive label 14 is affixed to the cup 12 containing the ingredients.
The lids 13 are sequentially fitted and fixed.

In this case also, the shrink wrap may be omitted as appropriate.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show still another example of the embodiment. This example uses the same cup body, lid and label as the examples shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and attaches a piece of paper so that once removed, it cannot be easily returned to the original to prevent abuse. It is. FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of the cup, and FIG. 6 is a structural explanatory view showing the cup disassembled into a cup body, a lid, a label, and an abuse prevention paper piece.

Only in this case, the soup cup 11 has a container body, which is also a cup body 12 made of a foamed polystyrene molded product, and is previously filled with dry kneading. The lid 13 is
Vacuum molded product of polyester sheet, cup body 12
And the periphery is fitted and fixed to the upper edge of the cup 12. The lid 13 is also provided with an annular cut 16 at one location for forming an opening substantially at the center. Then, an adhesive label 14 is attached so as to seal the opening formed by the cut 16 as in the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5. Then, an abuse-preventing sheet 17 is overlaid on the upper surface of the lid 13, and the upper half of the container including the lid fitting portion is shrunk and wrapped together with the abuse-preventing sheet 17 by a shrink film 15 made of polyvinyl chloride. Also in this case, the shrink wrap may reach the lower half of the container, and the container body may be a paper cup or the like. Also, the label that seals the opening has a sealing property,
Any material can be used as long as it is easy to peel off and can be resealed. For example, the material may be bonded using a cold sealant.

In this example, at the time of ordering, the clerk leaves the shrink film 15 as it is, removes the abuse-preventing sheet 17, peels off the adhesive label 14, injects miso soup from a dispenser, reseals it, and delivers it to the customer. Then, after peeling the shrink film 15, the customer removes the lid 13 and drinks miso soup.

Although the example of the miso soup cup has been described above, the present invention can be applied to various fluid food containers such as soups and ramen in addition to miso soup. Further, the "ingredient" to be enclosed in advance is not limited to a dried material, and the "fluid" to be injected is not limited to a warm material, and may be cold or frozen.

[0036]

The container of the present invention can be easily filled with a fluid just by peeling off the label, and therefore, the operation is simple,
It is hygienic, and can be resealed after filling so that it does not spill, is low in cost, and has no content attached to the adhesive surface of the label. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of clerks when providing liquid foods and beverages containing ingredients such as miso soup, soup, ramen, and the like in a fast food style at a cash register sale at a convenience store or the like, thereby improving hygiene and take-out. And cost reduction can be achieved.
