[0012] The packaging container of the present invention makes it easy to remove the pouches. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is an overall perspective view of a packaging container according to the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a packaging container according to the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is an end view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, "upward" refers to a direction that faces upward in the vertical direction when the packaging container is placed on a horizontal surface with the opening side facing up, and "downward" refers to a direction that faces downward in the vertical direction.

[0015] First, Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 show a packaging container 100 according to the present invention. Fig. 1 is an overall perspective view of the packaging container 100, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the packaging container 100, and Fig. 3 is an end view taken along line A-A shown in Fig. 2.

[0016] 1, the packaging container 100 has a shallow dish shape that opens upward and includes a flat bottom surface 110 that is generally rectangular in plan view, a side wall 120 that is formed to rise from an outer periphery 111 of the bottom surface 110, and a flange portion 130 at the upper end of the side wall 120. The side wall 120 and the flange portion 130 are provided continuously around the entire circumference of the packaging container 100 in the circumferential direction.

[0017] The area surrounded by bottom surface 110 and side wall 120 forms first storage section 140 capable of storing food. Bottom surface 110 is further provided with wall section 150 protruding upward from bottom surface 110, and wall section 150 is disposed inward from side wall 120 to partition a portion of bottom surface 110. The portion partitioned by wall section 150 forms second storage section 160.

[0018] Furthermore, second storage section 160 is provided with placement portion 170 protruding upward from bottom surface 110, and its upper surface forms inclined surface 171 on which small pouches accompanying food can be placed. Since the small pouches placed on inclined surface 171 are stored at an angle at a position higher than bottom surface 110, a user can easily remove the small pouches on inclined surface 171. Even if second storage section 160 is deep, placement portion 170 protruding upward from bottom surface 110 allows the user to easily remove the small pouches. In addition, inclined surface 171 is provided with ribs 172 extending in a direction intersecting the inclination direction to prevent the placed small pouches from slipping.

[0019] Furthermore, inner end 173 of inclined surface 171 is continuous with outer peripheral surface 151 of wall portion 150, and outer end 174 of mounting portion 170 is continuous with bottom surface 110. In this way, inclined surface 171 is continuous with outer peripheral surface 151 of wall portion 150, so that a pouch placed on inclined surface 171 abuts against outer peripheral surface 151 of wall portion 150 and will not inadvertently fall off inclined surface 171, and can be reliably accommodated in second housing portion 160.

[0020] In addition, inclined surface 171 is configured to become higher inward from outer end 174 to inner end 173. This makes it easy to immediately serve food etc. contained in a pouch on top of the food contained in first storage section 140 inside packaging container 100. In addition, inclined surface 171 becomes lower outward from inner end 173 to outer end 174, so that a part of a pouch placed on inclined surface 171 is less likely to be pinched at the edge of packaging container 100 when the lid is fitted to the pouch.

[0021] Moreover, mounting portion 170 is disposed near the center of second storage portion 160, and the side of mounting portion 170 forms recess 161 surrounded by bottom surface 110 and wall portion 150. Therefore, when a pouch is placed on mounting portion 170, the back surface of the pouch that is stored so as to protrude from mounting portion 170 towards recess 161 is slightly raised by recess 161. By using this recess 161, the back surface of the pouch can be pinched with the fingers and the pouch can be easily removed.

[0022] Although the mounting portion 170 is disposed near the center of the second storage portion 160, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounting portion 170 may be disposed at any location of the second storage portion 160 with any size. Furthermore, the inclined surface 171 of the mounting portion 170 is inclined so as to become higher toward the inside, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounting portion 170 may be configured so as to become higher toward the outside from the inner end 173 to the outer end 174. Furthermore, the mounting portion 170 is continuous with the outer peripheral surface 151 of the wall portion 150, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounting portion 170 may be separated from the wall portion 150 and not continuous therewith.

[0023] Moreover, because first storage section 140 is configured to be able to store food, first storage section 140 is larger than second storage section 160, which stores small pouches that come with the food. However, this is not limited to this, and first storage section 140 and second storage section 160 may be configured to have the same size, or first storage section 140 may be smaller than second storage section 160. Furthermore, wall section 150 divides second storage section 160 into a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, but this is not limited to this, and the section may be divided into any shape, such as a substantially polygonal shape or a substantially circular shape, depending on the shape of the small pouches.

[0024] The packaging container 100 is formed by sheet molding (e.g., vacuum molding, pressure molding, hot plate molding) using a sheet-like material with a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm (millimeters). For example, the material of the packaging container 100 may be polystyrene, polypropylene, A-PET, polylactic acid, biaxially oriented products thereof, paper, metal, etc. A lid may be optionally fitted to the packaging container 100 to seal it. The packaging container 100 is generally rectangular in plan view, but is not limited thereto and may be any shape.

[0025] The packaging container of the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various modifications and combinations are possible within the scope of the claims and the scope of the embodiments, and these modifications and combinations are also included in the scope of rights.
