For example, if you try to eat cup noodles with chopsticks, the juice may scatter and stain your clothes. In addition, to prevent burns, food may be given to infants after it has been cooled, but it is difficult to cool it with chopsticks alone. On the other hand, if you put food on a range spoon and eat it, you can suppress the splattering of the soup. Also, if you put the food on the range spoon, you can easily cool the food and carry it to the infant's mouth as it is. However, when eating outdoors, it is not always the case that the astragalus spoon is at hand, and even if you want to use the astragalus spoon, you may not be able to use it.

The present invention has an object to provide a cup food with lid and this cup food container which can be used as a spoon spoon.

The lid material of the present invention is a lid material for a cup food container, which has a sheet-like base, and a Y-shaped fold line is provided on at least one of the back surface and the front surface of the base. It is characterized in that it can be used as a range spoon by folding the base portion in a valley fold or a mountain fold along the fold line.

Further, the cup food of the present invention is characterized by comprising a container containing food and the lid material covering the upper opening of the container.

Since the folding line in the lid of the present invention is provided, it is possible to use a lid as Astragalus spoon by folding the fold line mark or a guide. Therefore, even when there is no astragalus spoon around, the lid material can be used as a astragalus spoon to prevent the soup from splashing and to easily cool the food.

The perspective view which shows the cup food which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a top view of the lid material used in the cup food shown in FIG. 1, in which (a) shows the back surface and (b) shows the front surface. The figure explaining how to fold the lid material shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the lid material of the cup food and the cup food container according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

With reference to FIG. 1, the cup food 1 according to the present embodiment is, for example, a cup-filled food typified by instant cup noodles, and is a container (cup food container) 2 containing a food (not shown). The lid material 3 is adhered to the upper edge. The lid material 3 has a sheet shape, and is formed by integrally forming a circular base portion 31 and a knob 32 extending radially outward from the base portion 31.

To eat the food in the container 2, the picking 32 is picked, the lid material 3 is peeled off halfway from the container 2, and a predetermined amount of boiling water is poured into the container 2. When the lid material 3 is closed again and waits for a predetermined time, the food is heated at the time of eating. After that, the lid material 3 is peeled off and the food is eaten. At this time, the lid material 3 can be used as a range spoon by folding the lid material 3 as required.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a Y-shaped fold line 4 is provided on the back surface 3a of the lid material 3. The fold line 4 is composed of three fold lines (first fold line 41, second fold line 42, third fold line 43) extending radially from the center P1 of the base 31 or the vicinity of the center P1. The second fold line 42 and the third fold line 43 are line-symmetrical with each other with the first fold line 41 as the axis of symmetry. Further, a dogleg-shaped folding line 5 is provided on the surface 3b of the lid material 3. The fold line 5 extends from the starting point P2 corresponding to the middle portion of the first fold line 41 toward the peripheral edge of the lid material 3 (base 31) in the direction opposite to the second and third fold lines 42 and 43. It consists of two fold lines (fourth fold line 51 and fifth fold line 52), and the fourth fold line 51 and the fifth fold line 52 are mutually located with the first fold line 41 as the axis of symmetry. It is said to be line symmetric.

When the lid material 3 is used as a range spoon, the lid material 3 is first folded in a valley along the fold line 4, so that a space having a substantially triangular pyramid shape is formed on the tip side as shown in FIG. 3 (a). A three-dimensional shape having a portion S is formed. Then, by folding the rear end portion of the three-dimensional shape on one side along fold line 5 in the manner shown in FIG. 3 (b), it is completed three-dimensional shape of Astragalus spoon-like.

By folding the lid material 3 in this way, the user can grasp the rear end portion of the three-dimensional shape shown in FIG. 3 (b) and place the food on the space portion S on the front end side to eat. That is, the rear end portion of the three-dimensional shape functions as a grip portion H, and the portion defining the space portion S functions as a rake portion P for placing food.

Here, the angle θ1 formed by the second fold line 42 and the third fold line 43 is preferably 65 ° to 75 °. If it is smaller than 65 °, the rake portion P becomes too narrow and a sufficient amount of food cannot be placed, and if it is larger than 75 °, the rake portion P becomes too wide and lacks a sense of stability. Further, the angle θ2 formed by the fourth fold line 51 and the fifth fold line 52 is preferably 90 ° to 120 °. This is because if it is smaller than 90 °, there is a high risk that the juice will spill when the juice is placed, and if it is larger than 120 °, the grip portion H will be small and it will be difficult to hold it.

Thus, the cup food 1 according to the present embodiment, the cover member 3 by folding the cover member 3 along fold lines 4 and 5 can be used as a spoon spoon. Further, since the lid material 3 is provided with folding lines 4 and 5, the lid material 3 can be easily folded into a desired shape.

The fold lines 4 and 5 may be printed lines (solid lines, broken lines, etc.), embossed lines, half-cut lines, or the like. Further, the cup food 1 is not limited to instant cup noodles.

Although the lid material of the cup food and the container for cup food according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the attached drawings, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment and deviates from the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and corrections are possible.

For example, the fourth fold line 51 and / or the fifth fold line 52 may be omitted. Further, the fourth fold line 51 and / or the fifth fold line 52 may be provided on the back surface 3a in place of the front surface 3b / or in addition to the front surface 3b.

Further, in the above embodiment, the Y-shaped fold line 4 is provided on the back surface 3a of the lid material 3, but the Y-shaped fold line may be provided on the front surface 3b instead of the back surface 3a of the lid material 3. In this case, the lid material 3 may be folded in a mountain along the Y-shaped fold line. Alternatively, the folding line 4 may be provided on both the back surface 3a and the front surface 3b of the lid material 3.

Further, in the above embodiment, the starting points P2 of the fourth and fifth fold lines 51 and 52 are set to the middle part of the first fold line 41, but the starting point P2 is the middle part of the first fold line 41. It is not limited to the portion, and can be any position between the middle portion and the center P1, and the center P1 of the base 31 may be the starting point P2. At this time, the larger the diameter of the lid material 3 (base 31), the closer the position of the starting point P2 is to the center P1, and the smaller the diameter, the larger the size of the lid material 3 is by separating the position of the starting point P2 from the center P1. the three-dimensional shape of the grip is easy lotus spoon like can be obtained even if different.
