ところで、食品のなかには、ソースをかけて食べる習慣があるものも多い。例えば、白身魚やエビ、カキ等のフライには、タルタルソースやウスターソースをかけることが多く、サルサソースやトマトソースをかけることもある。冷凍食品の場合、斯かるソースは、冷凍食品が収容されているトレイとは別の容器に収容されていたり、食品に直接かかっているものなどが多く、加熱処理後の食品にソースをかけた後、冷凍して冷凍食品とすることも行われている。しかし、食品の種類によっては、予めソースをかけておくとその食品本来の食感が低下する等の不都合が生じるものもあり、例えば、前述したフライの場合、予めソースをかけておくと、冷凍前、あるいは解凍時に衣にソースが染み込み、フライ独特のサクサク感が失われたり低下したりする。 By the way, many foods have a habit of eating with sauce. For example, white fish, shrimp, oysters and other fries are often topped with tartar sauce or Worcester sauce, and sometimes with salsa sauce or tomato sauce. In the case of frozen foods, such sauces are often contained in a container other than the tray containing the frozen foods or directly on the food. Later, frozen foods are also made. However, depending on the type of food, there are some disadvantages such as pre-sauce that lowers the original texture of the food. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned fried food, The sauce soaks into the garment before or during thawing, and the crispness peculiar to the fly is lost or reduced.

本発明の課題は、前述した従来技術が有する種々の欠点を解消し得る、食品用トレイ及びトレイ入り冷凍食品を提供することにある。 The subject of this invention is providing the tray for foodstuffs and the frozen food containing a tray which can eliminate the various fault which the prior art mentioned above has.

It is a tray for foodstuffs, Comprising: The said source | sauce accommodating part provides the tray for foodstuffs provided with the extrusion function which extrudes an internal sauce.

また本発明は、前記の食品用トレイの前記主収容部及び前記ソース収容部に、冷凍食品及び冷凍ソースが収容されている、トレイ入り冷凍食品を提供するものである。 Moreover, this invention provides the frozen food with a tray in which the frozen food and the frozen sauce are accommodated in the main accommodating part and the sauce accommodating part of the said food tray.

本発明の食品用トレイ及びトレイ入り冷凍食品によれば、ソース収容部を主収容部から切り離して、主収容部に収容されている食品をソースとは別に電子レンジによる加熱処理等の処理を行うことが可能であり、ソースの過加熱等を防止できるとともに、処理後の食品にソースをかけることも容易である。これにより、処理前からソースをかけておくことによる食感の低下等の不都合を防止することも可能である。 According to the food tray and the frozen food in the tray of the present invention, the source container is separated from the main container, and the food stored in the main container is subjected to a heat treatment using a microwave oven separately from the sauce. It is possible to prevent overheating of the sauce and the like, and it is easy to put the sauce on the processed food. Thereby, it is also possible to prevent inconveniences such as a decrease in texture caused by applying the sauce before processing.

本実施形態の食品用トレイ１においては、ソース収容部３を主収容部２から切り離し可能である以外にも、ソース収容部３内に収容されたソース３０を押し出すことを容易とするための工夫が施されている。即ち、本実施形態の食品用トレイ１のソース収容部３は、内部のソース３０を押し出す押し出し機能を備える。押し出し機能は、ヒトの手による所定の操作により、ソース収容部３の一部が、ソース収容部３の開口部３８に近づくように移動して、ソース収容部３内のソースを押し出すものであることが好ましい。
本実施形態におけるソース収容部３の押し出し機能について具体的に説明すると、本実施形態のソース収容部３は、図７に示すように、前壁３３及び後壁３４に指５を当てて摘まんで、前壁３３及び後壁３４を、それらの内面ａどうしが近づくように外面ｂ側から加圧することにより、図８に示すように、底部３１が、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に入り込むように折曲して、ソース収容部３内のソース３０を押し出すようになされている。図８（ａ）は、加圧前のソース収容部３の、図５のＡ−Ａ線に沿う断面図、図８（ｂ）は、加圧により底部がソース収容部の内面側に入り込むように折曲した状態の同断面図である。図８（ａ）及び図８（ｂ）に示すように、底部３１がソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に入り込むように折曲するという表現には、加圧前から底部３１が多少屈曲しているが、加圧によりその屈曲の程度が大きくなる場合も含まれる。
ソース収容部３を主収容部２から切り離し可能である上に、ソース収容部３が斯かる押し出し機構を有することで、解凍後の食品２０にソース３０をかけることが一層容易となり、更にソース収容部３内にソース３０が残りにくくなる。 In the food tray 1 of the present embodiment, in addition to being able to separate the source container 3 from the main container 2, the device for facilitating the extrusion of the source 30 accommodated in the source container 3 Is given. That is, the sauce container 3 of the food tray 1 of this embodiment has an extrusion function for pushing out the sauce 30 inside. The push-out function moves a part of the source container 3 so as to approach the opening 38 of the source container 3 and pushes out the source in the source container 3 by a predetermined operation by a human hand. It is preferable.
Explaining in detail the push-out function of the source accommodating portion 3 in the present embodiment, the source accommodating portion 3 in the present embodiment is gripped by placing the finger 5 against the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 as shown in FIG. By pressing the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 from the outer surface b side so that the inner surfaces a approach each other, the bottom 31 enters the inner surface c side of the source accommodating portion 3 as shown in FIG. And the source 30 in the source accommodating portion 3 is pushed out. FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view of the source accommodating portion 3 before pressurization along the line AA in FIG. 5, and FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating that the bottom portion enters the inner surface side of the source accommodating portion by pressurization. It is the same sectional view in the state where it was bent in. As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the expression that the bottom 31 is bent so as to enter the inner surface c side of the source accommodating portion 3 is that the bottom 31 is slightly bent before pressurization. However, it includes a case where the degree of bending is increased by pressurization.
Since the source container 3 can be separated from the main container 2 and the source container 3 has such an extruding mechanism, it becomes easier to put the sauce 30 on the thawed food 20 and further the source container. It becomes difficult for the source 30 to remain in the part 3.

ソース収容部３の押し出し機能をより確実に機能させる観点から、ソース収容部３の底部３１には、図５及び図８に示すように、底部３１の折曲を容易とする折曲誘導線６が設けられていることが好ましい。折曲誘導線６としては、底部３１の肉厚を局所的に薄くした線状薄肉折曲線や、底部３１をソース収容部３の内面側が山となるように一旦折り曲げて癖付した折り線等を設けることができるが、図５及び図８に示す折曲誘導線６のように、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に突出し外面ｄ側が凹状をなす立体的な形状の折曲誘導線を設けることが、ソース収容部３によるソースの押し出し機能を向上させる観点から好ましい。 From the viewpoint of functioning the push-out function of the source housing 3 more reliably, the bottom 31 of the source housing 3 is provided with a folding guide wire 6 that facilitates folding of the bottom 31 as shown in FIGS. Is preferably provided. Examples of the bending guide line 6 include a linear thin-walled bending curve in which the thickness of the bottom portion 31 is locally thinned, a folding line in which the bottom portion 31 is once bent and brazed so that the inner surface side of the source housing portion 3 is a mountain. However, like the bending guide wire 6 shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, a bending guide wire having a three-dimensional shape that protrudes toward the inner surface c of the source housing 3 and has a concave outer surface d side is provided. This is preferable from the viewpoint of improving the function of pushing out the source by the source storage unit 3.

本実施形態におけるソース収容部３は、図５に示すように、前壁３３と後壁３４とが相対向する第２方向Ｙにおける、前壁３３及び後壁３４との間の略中央部に、折曲誘導線６が形成されており、その折曲誘導線６は、第１方向Ｘにおいて、底部３１の全長に亘って形成されている上に、図９に示すように、底部３１と一対の側壁３５それぞれとの間の境界部を形成する、第１方向Ｘに沿う断面形状が外面ｄ側に凸の円弧状である曲面部３７を通って、側壁３５，３５それぞれの上縁部又はその近傍まで延在している。折曲誘導線６が、一対の側壁３５それぞれにも延在していることで、前壁３３及び後壁３４を互いに近づくように指５で加圧した際に、底部３１が、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に入り込むように折曲し易くなり、ソース収容部３のソース押し出し機能が一層確実に機能する。折曲誘導線６は、一対の側壁３５のいずれか一方のみに延在していても良く、その場合においても、折曲誘導線６が底部３１のみに存在する場合に比べれば、ソースの押し出し機能に資する。 As shown in FIG. 5, the source accommodating portion 3 in the present embodiment is provided at a substantially central portion between the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 in the second direction Y in which the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 face each other. In addition, the bending guide wire 6 is formed over the entire length of the bottom portion 31 in the first direction X, and, as shown in FIG. The upper edge of each of the side walls 35, 35 passes through the curved surface portion 37, which forms a boundary portion between each of the pair of side walls 35, and the cross-sectional shape along the first direction X is an arc shape convex toward the outer surface d side Or it extends to the vicinity. Since the bending guide wire 6 also extends to each of the pair of side walls 35, when the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 are pressed with the fingers 5 so as to approach each other, the bottom portion 31 becomes the source accommodating portion. It becomes easy to bend so that it may enter into the inner surface c side of 3, and the source pushing-out function of the source accommodating part 3 functions more reliably. The bending guide line 6 may extend to only one of the pair of side walls 35. In this case as well, compared to the case where the bending guide line 6 exists only at the bottom 31, the extrusion of the source is performed. Contributes to function.

また、本実施形態におけるソース収容部３は、図８（ａ）及び図９に示すように、底部３１における折曲誘導線６を挟む両側が、前壁３３又は後壁３４に向かって下降する傾斜面部３１ａ，３１ｂとなっており、図８（ａ）に示すように、前壁３３の下部、折曲誘導線６の両側の２つの傾斜面部３１ａ，３１ｂ及び後壁３４の下部が、Ｗ字状の断面形状を形成している。
底部３１における折曲誘導線６を挟む両側が傾斜面部３１ａ，３１ｂとなっていると、前壁３３及び後壁３４を互いに近づくように指５で加圧した際に、底部３１が、一層、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に入り込むように折曲し易くなり、ソース収容部３のソースの押し出し機能が向上する。折曲誘導線６を挟む両側の傾斜面部３１ａ，３１ｂは、それぞれの外面どうしがなす角度θ〔図８（ａ）参照〕が、好ましくは４５度以上１８０度未満であり、より好ましくは９０度以上１８０度未満である。 Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 9, the source accommodating portion 3 in the present embodiment is lowered toward the front wall 33 or the rear wall 34 on both sides of the bottom portion 31 sandwiching the bending guide wire 6. As shown in FIG. 8A, the lower portion of the front wall 33, the two inclined surface portions 31a, 31b on both sides of the bending guide wire 6, and the lower portion of the rear wall 34 are W A letter-shaped cross-sectional shape is formed.
When both sides sandwiching the bending guide line 6 in the bottom portion 31 are inclined surface portions 31a and 31b, when the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 are pressed with the finger 5 so as to approach each other, the bottom portion 31 is further layered. It becomes easy to bend so that it may enter into the inner surface c side of the source accommodating part 3, and the source pushing-out function of the source accommodating part 3 improves. The inclined surface portions 31a and 31b on both sides sandwiching the bending guide line 6 have an angle θ (see FIG. 8A) formed by their outer surfaces, preferably 45 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees, more preferably 90 degrees. More than 180 degrees.

また、底部３１と一対の側壁３５それぞれとの間の境界部が、前述したように、第１方向Ｘに沿う断面形状が外面ｄ側に凸の円弧状である曲面部３７となっていることも、底部３１が、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に入り込むように折曲し易くなるため、ソース収容部３のソースの押し出し機能が向上する。
また、本実施形態におけるソース収容部３においては、底部３１のみならず、底部３１と一対の側壁３５それぞれとの間の境界部に存する前記の曲面部３７においても、折曲誘導線６を挟む両側が、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側が凸となるような傾斜面となっており、このことも、底部３１が、ソース収容部３の内面ｃ側に入り込むように折曲し易くなることに寄与する。
また、本実施形態におけるソース収容部３においては、一対の側壁３５，３５のそれぞれの水平断面においても、折曲誘導線６の両側に位置する部分が、それぞれの外面同士がなす角度が、１５０度以上１８０度未満の角度をなしている。 Further, as described above, the boundary portion between the bottom portion 31 and each of the pair of side walls 35 is a curved surface portion 37 whose cross-sectional shape along the first direction X is a convex arc shape on the outer surface d side. In addition, since the bottom portion 31 is easily bent so as to enter the inner surface c side of the source accommodating portion 3, the function of pushing out the source of the source accommodating portion 3 is improved.
Moreover, in the source accommodating part 3 in this embodiment, not only the bottom part 31 but also the curved surface part 37 existing at the boundary part between the bottom part 31 and each of the pair of side walls 35 sandwich the bending guide wire 6. Both sides are inclined surfaces such that the inner surface c side of the source accommodating portion 3 is convex, and this also facilitates bending so that the bottom portion 31 enters the inner surface c side of the source accommodating portion 3. Contribute.
Moreover, in the source accommodating part 3 in this embodiment, the angle which each outer surface makes | forms the part located in the both sides of the bending guide wire 6 also in each horizontal cross section of a pair of side walls 35 and 35 is 150. The angle is not less than 180 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

また、本実施形態における食品用トレイ１においては、図７及び図８に示すように、ソース収容部３の前壁３３及び後壁３４を、それらの内面ａどうしが近づくように外面側から加圧し、ソース収容部３を、前壁３３と後壁３４との間に底部３１が２つ折り状態となって存在するように押しつぶしたときに、図９に示すように、前壁３３と底部３１との間の前側折り線７ａ及び後壁３４と底部３１との間の後側折り線７ｂのそれぞれから、側壁３５の上方及び該側壁３５の幅方向中央に向かって連続して延びる斜め折り線８，８が生じる。この斜め折り線８，８は、ソース収容部３を、図７に示すようにして押しつぶしたときに、側壁３５，３５それぞれにおける、前側折り線７ａの延長線上に生じた折り線である。図９には、ソース収容部３を、前述のような状態に押しつぶしたのち、なるべく元の形態となるように復元したときに、側壁３５に残る斜め折り線８，８を示してある。
ソース収容部３を潰したときに、斯かる折り線８，８が生じるようにすると、ソース収容部３内にソースが残らないように、ソースをきれいに押し出すことが可能となる。 Further, in the food tray 1 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 of the source container 3 are added from the outer surface side so that their inner surfaces a come closer to each other. When the source container 3 is crushed so that the bottom 31 exists in a folded state between the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34, as shown in FIG. 9, the front wall 33 and the bottom 31 are compressed. A diagonal fold line continuously extending from the front fold line 7a between the rear wall 34 and the rear fold line 7b between the rear wall 34 and the bottom 31 to the upper side of the side wall 35 and toward the center in the width direction of the side wall 35. 8,8 results. The oblique fold lines 8 and 8 are fold lines generated on the extension lines of the front fold lines 7a on the side walls 35 and 35 when the source accommodating portion 3 is crushed as shown in FIG. FIG. 9 shows oblique fold lines 8 and 8 remaining on the side wall 35 when the source accommodating portion 3 is crushed to the above-described state and restored to the original form as much as possible.
If the fold lines 8 and 8 are generated when the source container 3 is crushed, the source can be neatly pushed out so that no source remains in the source container 3.

また、本実施形態におけるソース収容部３は、図５及び図６に示すように、その開口部の周囲にフランジ部９を有している。フランジ部９は、開口部の周囲に環状に形成されており、開口部の周囲から外方に向かって略水平に張り出している。
そして、そのフランジ部９における一対の側壁３５のそれぞれの上端部から略水平に張り出した部分に、切り込み９１が形成されている。前壁３３及び後壁３４それぞれの上端部から略水平に張り出した部分を有することは、図７に示すように、ソース収容部３からソース３０を押し出す際に、ソース３０が指５に付着しないようにする観点等から好ましいが、側壁３５の上端部から略水平に張り出した部分があると、ソース収容部３を押しつぶす際に、その部分が抵抗となることがある。その部分に切り込み９１を入れることで、ソース収容部３を、前壁３３と後壁３４との間に底部３１が２つ折り状態となって存在するように綺麗に押しつぶすことが容易となり、ソース収容部３からソースを押し出した後に、ソース収容部３内に残るソースの量を大幅に減少させることができる。図５には、第１方向Ｘの両側のフランジ部に切り込み９１を入れた例を示したが、第１方向Ｘの両端に位置するフランジ部の何れか一方のみに切り込み９１を入れても良い。 Moreover, the source accommodating part 3 in this embodiment has the flange part 9 around the opening part, as shown in FIG.5 and FIG.6. The flange portion 9 is formed in an annular shape around the opening, and projects substantially horizontally from the periphery of the opening toward the outside.
A notch 91 is formed in a portion of the flange portion 9 that protrudes substantially horizontally from the upper end portions of the pair of side walls 35. Having a portion that protrudes substantially horizontally from the upper end of each of the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 means that the source 30 does not adhere to the finger 5 when the source 30 is pushed out from the source accommodating portion 3 as shown in FIG. Although it is preferable from the viewpoint of doing so, when there is a portion that protrudes substantially horizontally from the upper end portion of the side wall 35, that portion may become a resistance when the source accommodating portion 3 is crushed. By making a notch 91 in that portion, it becomes easy to cleanly squeeze the source accommodating portion 3 so that the bottom 31 is folded between the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34. After the source is pushed out from the part 3, the amount of the source remaining in the source accommodating part 3 can be greatly reduced. FIG. 5 shows an example in which cuts 91 are made in the flange portions on both sides in the first direction X. However, the cuts 91 may be made in only one of the flange portions located at both ends in the first direction X. .

ソース収容部３からソースを押し出した後に、ソース収容部３内に残留するソースの量をできるかぎり少なくする観点から、図８（ａ）に示すように、ソース収容部３の前壁３３及び後壁３４は、底部３１に向かって両者３３，３４間の間隔が漸減するテーパー状に形成されていることが好ましく、また、図１０に示すように、一対の側壁３５，３５も、底部３１に向かって両者３５，３５間の間隔が漸減するテーパー状に形成されていることが好ましく、前壁３３及び後壁３４がテーパー状をなし且つ一対の側壁３５，３５がテーパー状をなすことがより好ましい。 From the viewpoint of minimizing the amount of the source remaining in the source accommodating portion 3 after the source is pushed out from the source accommodating portion 3, as shown in FIG. The wall 34 is preferably formed in a tapered shape in which the distance between the two 33 and 34 gradually decreases toward the bottom portion 31, and a pair of side walls 35 and 35 are also formed on the bottom portion 31 as shown in FIG. 10. It is preferable that the distance between the two and 35 is gradually tapered, and the front wall 33 and the rear wall 34 are tapered and the pair of side walls 35 and 35 are tapered. preferable.

また前述した通り、本実施形態におけるソース収容部３は、その開口部の周囲にフランジ部９を有しているが、フランジ部９の付け根に折曲誘導線（図示せず）が形成されていることが好ましい。
ここでいう折曲誘導線は、ソースを押し出した際のソース切れを良好にすることを目的とするものであり、折曲誘導線を設けることで、ソースを押し出した際、フランジ部９がソースが出る方向に対して反対方向に曲がり、フランジ部９へのソース付着を軽減することに寄与する。例えば、折曲誘導線として、フランジ部９における、前壁３３又は後壁３４の上縁部から張り出す部分の下面における、前壁３３又は後壁３４に隣接する基端部に、該折曲誘導線として、フランジ部９の肉厚を局所的に薄くした線状薄肉折曲線や、フランジ部を厚み方向に貫通しない切込み、即ちいわゆるハーフカット線を形成することも好ましい。 Further, as described above, the source accommodating portion 3 in the present embodiment has the flange portion 9 around the opening portion, but a bending guide line (not shown) is formed at the base of the flange portion 9. Preferably it is.
The bending guide line here is for the purpose of making the source cut well when the source is pushed out, and when the source is pushed out by providing the bending guide line, the flange portion 9 becomes the source. It bends in the opposite direction to the direction in which the light is emitted and contributes to reducing the source adhesion to the flange portion 9. For example, as a bending guide line, the bent portion may be bent at a base end portion adjacent to the front wall 33 or the rear wall 34 on a lower surface of a portion protruding from the upper edge portion of the front wall 33 or the rear wall 34. As the guide wire, it is also preferable to form a linear thin folding curve in which the thickness of the flange portion 9 is locally thinned, or a cut that does not penetrate the flange portion in the thickness direction, that is, a so-called half-cut line.
