DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] <1. Composition of storage sheet material> Hereinafter, an embodiment of the storage sheet material according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the storage sheet material according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 6 described later, this storage sheet material is folded to form a rectangular parallelepiped storage body 100 in which items such as foodstuffs are stored. The dashed lines shown in Fig. 1 also indicate folding lines.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1, the storage sheet material according to this embodiment has a transparent or semi-transparent sheet-like main body 10. This main body has a first base surface portion 1, a second base surface portion 2, first to fourth side surface portions 31 to 34, first to third mounting portions 41 to 44, and first to fourth connecting portions 51 to 54, which are integrally configured to configure the main body 10. The first base surface portion 1 is formed in a rectangular shape, and the first to fourth side surface portions 31 to 34 are respectively foldably connected to the first to fourth sides 11 to 14, which are the four sides of the periphery of the first base surface portion 1. The first to fourth side surface portions 31 to 34 are formed in narrow band shapes, and configure the side surfaces of the storage body 100, as described below.

[0016] The first base surface portion 1 has cuts 15-17 formed along the second to fourth sides 12-14 at positions slightly away from the second to fourth sides 12-14. For ease of explanation, the cuts along the second to fourth sides 12-14 will be referred to as the first to third cuts 15-17, respectively. Each of the cuts 15-17 is formed in an arc shape that protrudes toward the center of the first base surface portion 1, and both ends are curved in a U-shape.

[0017] The second base surface portion 2 is formed in a rectangular shape of approximately the same size as the first base surface portion 1, and has four peripheral sides, that is, first to fourth sides 21 to 24. The above-mentioned first side surface portion 31 is connected to the third side 23 of the second base surface portion 2 in a bendable manner. In other words, the third side 23 of the second base surface portion 2 is connected to the first side 11 of the first base surface portion 1 via the first side surface portion 31.

[0018] The above-mentioned first to third mounting portions 41 to 44 are respectively foldably connected to the first, second and fourth sides 21, 22 and 24 of the second base surface portion 2. Since the first to third mounting portions 41 to 44 have substantially the same configuration, the first mounting portion 41 will be described below.

[0019] The first mounting portion 41 has a band-shaped first portion 411 connected to the first side 21 of the second base surface portion 2 in a foldable manner, and a trapezoidal second portion 412 connected to the side of the first portion 411 opposite to the first side 21 in a foldable manner. A fourth cut 413 is formed in the second portion 412 in a convex arc shape toward the second base surface portion 2 side. The fourth cut 413 forms a first tongue portion 401 in the second portion 412 surrounded by the fourth cut 413 and straight lines connecting both ends of the fourth cut 413. The first tongue portion 401 is engageable with the second cut 16 of the first base surface portion 1, as described later. The second mounting portion 42 is also formed of two portions 421 and 422, and a fifth cut 423 and a second tongue portion 402 are formed in the second portion 422. Similarly, the third attachment portion 43 is formed of two portions 431, 432, and the second portion 432 is formed with a sixth notch 433 and a third tongue portion 403.

[0020] The first to fourth connecting parts 51 to 54 are arranged at the four corners of the second base surface part 2. Specifically, they are as follows. The first connecting part 51 is formed in a triangular shape connecting the first part 411 of the first mounting part 41 and the first part 421 of the second mounting part 42. The first connecting part 51 has a fold extending diagonally from the apex of the second base surface part 2. The second connecting part 52 is formed in a triangular shape connecting the first part 411 of the first mounting part 41 and the first side surface part 31. The second connecting part 52 has a fold extending diagonally from the apex of the second base surface part 2. The third connecting part 53 is formed in a triangular shape connecting the first part 431 of the third mounting part 43 and the first side surface part 31. The third connecting part 53 has a fold extending diagonally from the apex of the second base surface part 2. The fourth connection portion 54 is formed in a triangular shape so as to connect the first portion 411 of the first attachment portion 41 and the first portion 431 of the third attachment portion 43. The fourth connection portion 54 has a folding line extending diagonally from the apex of the second base surface portion 2.

[0021] The main body 10 is preferably made of a material that will not break when folded. In particular, since this storage sheet material can be used repeatedly, it is preferable that the material will not break even when repeatedly folded. Furthermore, when it is used as a cutting board as described later, it is preferable that the material is difficult to cut even when a knife is pressed against it. Such materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. etc. The main body 10 can be formed from the following resin materials: The thickness of the main body 10 can be, for example, about 0.3 to 1.0 mm.

[0022] <2. How to use the storage sheet material> Next, a method of using the storage sheet material configured as above will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 2, food material 8 such as meat is divided into small portions, folded into a size that can be stored in the storage body 100, and then placed on the second base surface portion 2.

[0023] Next, as shown in Fig. 3, the second to fourth side surface portions 32 to 34 are folded at approximately right angles to the first base surface portion 1. Following this, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 3, the first side 11 of the first base surface portion 1 and the third side 23 of the second base surface portion 2 are folded, so that the first base surface portion 1 covers the food material 8 on the second base surface portion 2. As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, a rectangular parallelepiped storage space is formed surrounded by both base surfaces 1, 2 and the first to fourth side surface portions 31 to 34, and the food material 8 is stored in this storage space.

[0024] Next, the first portion 411 of the first mounting portion 41 is folded against the second base surface portion 2 to cover the third side surface portion 33. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the second portion 412 of the first mounting portion 41 is folded against the first portion 411 to engage the first tongue portion 401 with the second notch 16. Similarly, the second and third mounting portions 42 and 43 are folded to engage the second and third tongue portions 402 and 403 with the first and third notches 15 and 17, respectively. At this time, the connection portions 51 to 54 are folded at the folding lines in conjunction with the folding of the mounting portions 41 to 43, and are arranged so as to contact the first portions 411 to 431 and the side surface portions 32 to 34. The order in which the mounting portions 41 to 43 are folded is not particularly limited.

[0025] In this manner, as shown in FIG. 6, the first to third mounting portions 41 to 43 are arranged to cover the second to fourth side surface portions 32 to 34, and each tongue portion 401 to 403 engages with the first to third notches 15 to 17, thereby completing the rectangular parallelepiped storage body 100.

[0026] Thereafter, the storage body 100 containing the food ingredients 8 is stored, for example, in a refrigerator. Since the storage body 100 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, it can be arranged side by side in a freezer, for example, in an upright state with any of the side portions 31 to 34 facing downward, as shown in Fig. 7. Depending on the type of food ingredients, they may be stored in the refrigerator.

[0027] When using the foodstuff 8, the storage body 100 is taken out of the freezer, the tongue portions 401-403 are detached from the first to third cuts 15-17, and the first base portion 1 is separated from the second base portion 2 as shown in FIG. 2. Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the storage body 100 is unfolded and the foodstuff 8 is cut into a desired size with a knife. The foodstuff 8 thus cut is used for cooking or the like. At this time, by tilting the unfolded storage sheet material, the cut foodstuff 8 can be slid and transferred to a cooking utensil. The storage body 100 can also be placed in a microwave oven to thaw the frozen foodstuff 8, and then cut as shown in FIG. 8. Since the main body 10 is made of resin, it can be used repeatedly by washing with water or the like.

[0028] <3. Features> According to the storage sheet material configured as above, the following effects can be obtained. (1) When food is stored in a freezer or the like, it is generally covered with cling film and then stored in a bag with a zipper before being stored in the freezer. In contrast, by using the storage sheet material of this embodiment, food 8 can be stored without using cling film and a bag. The storage sheet material can be reused by washing, so costs can be reduced compared to using disposable cling film, and waste of resources can be suppressed. In addition, when cling film is used, there is a risk that the cling film will adhere to the frozen food and cannot be peeled off. However, when food is stored in this storage sheet material, the tongue portions 401-403 are released from the first to third cuts 15-17, and the storage sheet material is unfolded, so that food 8 can be easily taken out even if it is frozen.

[0029] (2) The storage body 100 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has shape retention due to being fixed by the tongue portions 401-403, so that the stored food ingredients 8 can be prevented from losing their shape. In addition, since the storage body 100 is a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape, it is compact and can be arranged side by side in a freezer as shown in Fig. 7. This has the advantage of saving space in the freezer and making it easy to organize.

[0030] (3) The storage sheet material can also be used as a cutting board, so when the storage body 100 is unfolded, the food 8 can be cut using a knife on the unfolded storage sheet material. In contrast, when the food is wrapped in cling film, it is necessary to peel the cling film off the food and place the food on the cutting board to cut it. Then, after the food is cut, the cutting board needs to be washed. On the other hand, when the storage sheet material of this embodiment is used, it is not necessary to use a cutting board to cut the food, so washing the cutting board is not necessary, and this saves time and effort.

[0031] (4) The storage sheet material is transparent or translucent, so the contents can be seen from the outside. In addition, since the storage sheet material is made of resin, the contents of the stored food ingredients can be written directly on it with an oil-based felt-tip pen or oil-based marker pen. For example, even if written with an oil-based pen, it can be erased with paint thinner, toluene, benzine, or nail polish remover, so writing can be done again and again.

[0032] (5) Since the storage sheet material is formed of a resin sheet material, when frozen food ingredients are stored, the food ingredients 8 can be defrosted in a microwave oven while remaining stored in the storage body 100 (for example, defrosting for a few minutes using a 200W defrost mode).

[0033] (6) The attachment parts 41-43 are bent to cover the side parts 32-34, and the first to third tongue parts 401-403 are engaged with the first to third notches 15-17 in the first base part 1. Therefore, if the storage body 100 is arranged so that the second base part 2 is the bottom surface and the first base part 1 is the top surface, the notches 15-17 that communicate the inside and outside of the storage space will be arranged on the top surface of the storage body 100. This can prevent a part of the food material 8 (e.g., liquid) from leaking from the notches 15-17. In addition, the spaces between the adjacent side parts 31-34 and between the adjacent first parts 431-433 and the first side part 31 are covered by the connection parts 51-54, which can also prevent a part of the food material 8 (e.g., liquid) from leaking. However, after being frozen in the freezer, they can be arranged side by side in the freezer in an upright state as shown in FIG. 7.

[0034] (7) The storage sheet material according to the present embodiment can be folded, so that when not in use, it can be folded in half for example and stored, thereby making it possible to reduce its bulk.

[0035] <4. Modifications> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The following modifications can be combined as appropriate. They can also be combined with the above embodiment.

[0036] (1) The configuration of the attachment parts 41-43 is not particularly limited, and may be any shape that covers at least a part of each of the side surface parts 31-34. In the above embodiment, the attachment parts 41-43 are fixed to the first base surface part 1 by the tongue parts 401-403, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the attachment parts 41-43 may be fixed to the side surface parts 31-34 or to the boundaries between the side surface parts 31-34 and the first base surface part 1. In the above embodiment, the tongue parts 401-403 are engaged with the notches 15-17, but other shapes (for example, a shape in which a protrusion is fitted into a hole) may be used as long as the attachment parts 41-43 can be held.

[0037] (2) The shape of the connecting parts 51-54 is not particularly limited, and as described above, it is sufficient that they are configured to cover the spaces between adjacent side surface parts 31-34 and between adjacent first parts 431-433 and the first side part 31 when the container 100 is formed. The connecting parts 51-54 are not necessarily required, but are preferably provided in order to prevent leakage of the contents from between adjacent side surface parts 31-34 as described above. In other words, the connecting parts 51-54 may be provided as necessary depending on the contents.

[0038] (3) In the above embodiment, the first to fourth side surface portions 31-34 and the first to third attachment portions 41-43 are provided as the connecting portions of the present invention in order to form a storage space between the base surface portions 1, 2, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the first to fourth side surface portions 31-34 may be configured to be detachable from the first base surface portion 1 or the second base surface portion 2 without providing attachment portions. Alternatively, the side surface portions and attachment portions may not be provided, and the peripheral edges of the base surface portions 1, 2 may be configured to be detachable from each other.

[0039] (4) In the above embodiment, the first to fourth side surface portions 31 to are formed in a narrow band shape, but they may be formed in a wide rectangular shape, which allows thicker items to be stored.

[0040] (5) In the above embodiment, the first base surface portion 1 and the second base surface portion 2 are formed in a rectangular shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first base surface portion 1 and the second base surface portion 2 may be formed in a polygonal shape in a plan view.

[0041] (6) In the above embodiment, the main body 10 is formed to be transparent or translucent, but it may be partially or entirely colored, or a pattern or other design, for example a frame for writing the contents, a figure such as a line, or letters, may be printed or engraved. For example, to provide a reference for how to use the main body 10 as shown in Figs. 2 to 6, the second base portion 2 may be printed or engraved with the characters "Down" and the first base portion may be printed or engraved so that the user can visually determine the position where to place the food ingredient 8. When the main body 10 is colored, different storage sheet materials can be used depending on the contents.

[0042] (7) In the above embodiment, the main body 10 is used as a cutting board. However, if it is not used as a cutting board and is used only as a storage body 100 for items, it can be made thick enough to maintain its shape.

[0043] (8) In the above embodiment, food ingredients are given as an example of the item to be stored, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various items other than food ingredients may be stored. [Explanation of symbols]
