It consists of many shredded noodles Dry noodles 1, soup base powder 2, and dry ingredients 8 (instant noodles) The instant noodles are stored in a bag 3.
[0024] In this embodiment, the water bottle S (drinking bottle) is a hand-held cup-shaped water bottle (cup) with a diameter of about 5 cm to 10 cm, and by unscrewing the lid 9 screwed on the top, the upper opening (beverage bottle opening 4) of the hand-held cup-shaped main body 10 opens wide as a drinking spout. The invention of the support device (food support device Q) invented by the applicant of Patent Document 2 is inserted and installed in the water bottle S, and the water bottle S, which realizes the basic invention equipped with the special partition part P invented by the applicant of Patent Document 1, is shredded into a size suitable for drinking. It consists of many shredded noodles Pour in the dried noodles 1, soup base powder 2, and dried ingredients 8. It is easy to It consists of instant noodles in bags.
[0025] Specifically, the bag 3 containing the dried noodles 1 made of the shredded noodles is provided with a narrow pouring section 5 having a width smaller than the opening diameter of the beverage bottle opening 4 so that the noodles can be poured into the opening 4. is provided protruding from the top It is composed of:
[0026] To explain further, in this embodiment, the tip of the narrow pouring portion 5 is cut open, and the bag body 3 is turned upside down so that the narrow pouring portion 5 can be easily inserted into the beverage bottle opening 4. By simply inserting the narrow pouring portion 5 in this manner, the beverage bottle can be filled with the beverage bottle of a suitable size for drinking. It consists of many shredded noodles. The dried noodles 1, soup base powder 2 and dried ingredients 8 are configured to be discharged into the water bottle S.
[0027] In this embodiment (Example 1), the narrow pouring portion 5 is provided in a protruding state on the upper part of the wide main body of the bag body 3, and further, this narrow pouring portion 5 is formed in a tapered shape to make it easier to insert.
[0028]
[0029] In addition, the tip of the narrow pouring portion 5 may be configured so that the tip can be opened by manually cutting off the opening cutout 6, and the opened tip may be held between the fingers to open the tip widely by providing an enlarged opening fold 7. (Example 3)
[0030] Also, as in the third embodiment, the bag body 3 may be configured with a shape and material that allows it to stand on its own.
[0031] The special partition portion P (food support portion P) of the basic invention of Patent Document 1, and the food support device Q of Patent Document 2, which is inserted into a water bottle S to provide a special partition portion P (food support portion P), are described below with reference to Patent Documents 1 and 2.
[0032] The special partition part P (food support part P) is provided at a predetermined height in a portable food storage container (such as a plastic bottle or water bottle S) that is configured so that when the container is held and tilted in the hand, the stored beverage and food ingredients are poured into the mouth from a drinking spout part (beverage bottle opening 4) provided at the top of the container body (main body part 10 of water bottle S) and consumed, and is provided with a water passage hole that is set to a size that does not allow food ingredients (such as dried noodles 1) to pass through but allows the beverage (soup) to pass through, and is configured to be provided at a predetermined height within the container as an upper and lower partition.
[0033] Specifically, the special partition portion P is configured so that, for example, in a food storage state in which the beverage is stored within the container body and the food ingredients are supported by the special partition portion P (food ingredient support portion P), when the container body is tilted with the hand holding it to pour the beverage into the mouth from the drinking spout portion, the amount of the beverage flowing out from the bottom to the top of the food ingredient support portion P is regulated through the water passage hole of the food ingredient support portion P, and the food ingredients on the food ingredient support portion P are poured into the mouth from the drinking spout portion along with this regulated small amount of the beverage that flows out, and the placement height within the container body and the total opening area or opening position of the water passage hole are set so that the food ingredients can be eaten by tilting the container body with the hand without using eating and drinking aids (chopsticks).
[0034] For example, this food support portion P is provided with a closed support surface portion in which no water passage holes are formed on the food support surface, and a beverage regulating outflow support surface portion in which a plurality of water passage holes are formed in a row to regulate the amount of the beverage flowing from the bottom to the top, and for example, this closed support surface portion is provided in the center or on one half of the surface, and the beverage regulating outflow support surface portion is provided in the peripheral portion of the food support portion or on the opposite half of the one half of the surface.
[0035] The food support device Q, which can be inserted into a commercially available water bottle S to provide the special partition section P (food support section P), is provided with installation legs 11 on the food support section P that abut against the bottom of the container main body (main body section 10 of the water bottle S) to position the food support section P at a predetermined height, and is also provided with a detachable grip section 12 that can be gripped when placing the food or removing it.
[0036] Specifically, the food support portion P is arranged in close contact with the inner surface of the container body and is configured in the shape of a flat plate, a dish, or a cup that is partitioned into upper and lower portions.
[0037] In other words, this food support device Q can be easily stored and positioned at a predetermined height within the container body (main body 10 of a commercially available water bottle S) by simply inserting the rod-shaped installation leg 11 into the container main body by abutting and grounding it against the bottom.
[0038] Incidentally, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
