Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a tofu storage container in which a plurality of containers for storing tofu are connected.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as containers for storing tofu, a plurality of containers, such as a half, a single, and a double one, have been used.

[0003]

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

 The conventional tofu container has various sizes such as a half-chop, a single chop, and a double chop. Filling, packaging, packing, etc. are each separately performed, which not only complicates, but also various machines. However, there is a problem that different dimensions are required. In addition, in order to subdivide the tofu stored in such conventional containers, it is necessary to use a kitchen knife and take great care not to break the tofu. There was a problem that it was difficult to subdivide tofu.

[0004] On the other hand, storing a pre-divided tofu in a container is no different from a general single container, so when purchasing a plurality of tofus, it is easier to handle if they are not separated.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a tofu container that can transport a plurality of containers in an integrated manner, and can easily and safely divide tofu.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a result of earnest research, the inventors of the present invention have succeeded in connecting one unit or two units of the tofu by connecting the flanges of the unit containers that store half tofu. It is a solution to the point.

[0007] That is, the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of unit containers each having a flange provided around the upper end are connected at the flange, and a cutting assisting means is provided at the connection flange. Tofu storage container. Further, another invention is a tofu storage container characterized in that a plurality of unit containers each having a flange provided around an upper end portion are connected at the flange, and a broken line for cutting is provided at the connection flange. Yes, a flange is provided around the upper end of the half-surface semicircular or fan-shaped unit container, a plurality of the unit containers are connected by a linear flange portion, and a broken line for cutting is provided in the connection flange. It is a tofu storage container characterized in that:

[0008] The cutting means may include cutting at both ends and thinning the central portion in addition to the broken line for cutting.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In this invention, since the cutting auxiliary means is provided on the flange portion of the unit container, one unit container is rotated around the connecting portion with respect to the other unit container to be bent, and the unit container is separated. If a force is applied, the connection flange of the unit container can be cut along the cutting auxiliary means, and the unit container can be easily and safely separated. If a broken line is provided as a cutting assisting means, cutting can be easily performed.

[0010]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a tofu container 1 according to the present invention. It is appropriate that the tofu container 1 for storing two half tofu has a length of 150 to 250 mm and a width of 40 to 50 mm.

The unit container 2 includes a wall periphery 2a and a bottom surface 2b, and is connected by a flange 3 around an upper end. It is preferable to make a triangular cut having a length of 2 to 3 mm at both ends of the flange 3. A dashed line 4 for cutting is provided at the connecting portion of the collar portion 3.

The shape of the container of the present invention is not limited to a square as shown in FIG. 1, but also a semicircle as shown in FIG. 2 and a sector as shown in FIG. The material of the unit container is not particularly limited, either, and generally used plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene can be used. In the above embodiment, two unit containers are connected. However, four unit containers may be connected in order to accommodate two tofu.

Although a broken line 4 for cutting is provided in the flange portion 3 as a cutting assisting means, the present invention is not limited to this, and a cut is provided, or a part of the flange portion 3 is heated and pressurized. There are also cutting aids that are thinner.

FIG. 2 shows another example of the embodiment of the tofu container according to the present invention, which is composed of two unit containers 2, 2 having a semicircular upper end. FIG. 3 shows another example of the embodiment of the tofu container according to the present invention, which comprises four unit containers 2 and 2 having a fan-shaped upper end.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to this invention, since the cutting auxiliary means for cutting is provided on the flange portion, it is possible to utilize the advantage of the composite container, such as transporting a plurality of unit containers integrally, and the advantage of the unit container by cutting. There is also an effect that can be used. Further, according to the present invention, the container can be easily and safely separated, and there is an effect that the tofu can be divided into small pieces without using special tools during cooking.
