Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disposable lunch box technology, specifically a lid for disposable lunch boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable lunch boxes are designed for single use and require no washing, saving cleaning time and water resources, making them especially suitable for takeout, picnics and other similar occasions.

[0003] Existing disposable lunch boxes require separate cutlery, which needs to be packaged and stored separately and packed with the meal. However, cutlery is easily forgotten or lost, causing inconvenience to consumers. Therefore, integrating cutlery and lunch boxes has become a key focus for disposable lunch box manufacturers. However, existing disposable lunch boxes with cutlery, such as the one in patent CN219668901U, place the cutlery directly inside the lid. This design makes the cutlery susceptible to contamination during transportation, and the edges of the cutlery are completely connected to the lid, making it impossible to remove and use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lid for disposable lunch boxes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A lid for a disposable lunch box includes a lid body and a cutlery cover. The outer surface of the lid body is provided with a cutlery groove, and cutlery is placed in the cutlery groove.

[0007] The tableware is detachably connected to the lid body through several easily breakable contact points.

[0008] The cutlery cover is connected to the box lid body via two connectors, and the cutlery cover flips over to cover the cutlery slot.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the contact points are evenly spaced along the edge of the tableware;

[0010] The thickness of the contact point is less than the thickness of the lid or the tableware.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the cutlery cover is secured to the edge of the cutlery slot by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the cutlery is no greater than the depth of the cutlery groove.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the tableware includes a spoon and a fork, which are placed in a mirror-symmetrical manner, with the tines of the fork facing opposite to the serving end of the spoon.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the box lid body, tableware, tableware lid, and connectors are manufactured using an integral molding process.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. By connecting the cutlery to the lid slot via contact points, the cutlery can be easily accessed;

[0017] 2. The combination of tableware lid and tableware slot ensures that the tableware will not be contaminated by the external environment during transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified view of part A in the middle;

[0021] Figure 4 for Figure 2 A magnified view of part B in the middle section. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a lid for a disposable lunch box includes a lid body 10 and a cutlery lid 30. The outer surface of the lid body 10 has a cutlery groove 11, within which cutlery 20 is placed. The cutlery 20 is detachably connected to the lid body 10 via several easily breakable contact points 21. The cutlery lid 30 is connected to the lid body 10 via two connectors 31, and the cutlery lid 30 flips over to cover the cutlery groove 11. The lid body 10, cutlery 20, cutlery lid 30, and connectors 31 are integrally molded using processes such as injection molding, and the material can be environmentally friendly materials such as plant fibers.

[0024] The thickness of the cutlery 20 is no greater than the depth of the cutlery slot 11, ensuring that the cutlery lid can cover the cutlery slot. The cutlery 20 includes a spoon and a fork, which are placed in a mirror-symmetrical manner, with the tines of the fork facing opposite to the serving end of the spoon. The contact points are designed with locally thinned material, allowing the fork and spoon to be pried off the lid for use.

[0025] Furthermore, the cutlery cover 30 is engaged and fixed to the edge of the cutlery slot 11 by a buckle 32, so that the cutlery cover will not open during transportation, ensuring that the cutlery will not be contaminated by the external environment.

[0026] This invention integrates the fork and spoon with the lunchbox lid using a one-piece molding process, solving the problem of needing separate cutlery with ordinary lunchboxes. At the same time, the lid can be flipped up to cover the cutlery area, ensuring that the cutlery is not contaminated during delivery.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "coaxial", "bottom", "one end", "top", "middle", "other end", "upper", "side", "top", "inner", "front", "center", "both ends", "left and right", "front and back", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "connection," "fixing," "screw connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.
