Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to serving boxes. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditional Japanese trays used for occasions such as the first meal, Obon, memorial meals, and main meals consist of a table with a flat top and legs, on which multiple bowls of various sizes containing cooked ingredients are placed. When carrying the tray with food in the bowls, the dishes are unstable and may move or tip over. Furthermore, storing multiple trays can be inconvenient, as they are all different in size, height, and shape, making it difficult to put away. Therefore, serving multiple trays at a large dinner party can be time-consuming and inefficient.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a lunch tray used in mass meal systems in schools, hospitals, factories, and other locations, and Patent Document 2 discloses a serving tray used for the same purpose. These lunch trays and serving trays have the advantage of having heat retention properties because the tray body and the tray body's lid are made of synthetic resin foam, and having storage recesses on the horizontal top surface of the tray body that correspond to the shape of the dishes, thereby preventing spillage of soup or other liquids from the dishes. Patent Document 3 also discloses a lunch box that allows food to be served on the top surface of the lid, thereby increasing the number of dishes, and Patent Document 4 discloses lunch boxes that do not move or become misaligned when stacked.

[0005] The trays, trays or lunch boxes disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 have a simple structure and each has a description, but as dining tables used at celebratory occasions, they lack luxury and the number of dishes on which food can be served is limited, making them unsuitable for use at celebratory occasions.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to propose a serving box that is luxurious and suitable for celebratory occasions, easy to carry and put away, and allows for efficient preparation of serving food. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One embodiment of a food serving box according to the present disclosure comprises a box body having a bottom plate forming a flat bottom surface and a first side plate extending upward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate to form a side wall; a lid body having a top plate and a second side plate extending downward from the outer peripheral edge of the top plate to form a side wall; and at least one or more pieces of tableware for storing cooked ingredients placed on the bottom plate, the tableware having a height greater than that of the first side plate when placed on the bottom plate, the second side plate including an inner plate and an outer plate formed outward from the inner plate and having a height from the inner surface of the top plate greater than that of the inner plate, and the tip surface of the inner plate is configured to be able to abut against the tip surface of the first side plate when the box body is closed with the lid body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to one aspect of the serving box of the present disclosure, while maintaining the luxury and elegance appropriate for celebratory occasions, it is easy to carry and put away, allowing for efficient preparation of serving food. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, etc. of the components described in these embodiments or shown in the drawings are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0011] Figures 1 to 8 are diagrams showing a food serving box 10 according to one embodiment. Figure 1 shows the box in an open state. Figure 2 is a front view of the box body 20. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the lid 30 viewed from the leg 52 side. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the box in a closed state. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing cooked ingredients served on dishes. Figures 6 to 8 are explanatory diagrams showing different modes of use when serving food.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, a food serving box 10 according to one embodiment includes a box body 20, a lid 30, and at least one or more pieces of tableware 40 placed on the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20. The box body 20 has a bottom plate 22 that forms a flat bottom surface, and a first side plate 24 that extends upward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate 22 and surrounds the periphery of the bottom plate 22 to form side walls. When the box body 20 is placed on a horizontal plane during meal service, the bottom plate 22 usually forms a horizontal surface inside the first side plate 24. The lid 30 has a top plate 32 and a second side plate 34 that extends downward from the outer peripheral edge of the top plate 32 to form side walls. The top plate 32 also usually forms a horizontal surface inside the second side plate 34 when the box body 20 is closed. The tableware 40 is arranged on the bottom plate 22, and as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the cooked food ingredients Fc are served (stored).

[0013] In this specification, "upper side" refers to the upper side (the direction of the top plate 32) in a state where the box body 20 is closed by the lid 30, the lid 30 is placed above the box body 20, and placed on a horizontal plane, and "lower side" is defined to refer to the lower side (the direction of the bottom plate 22) in the above state.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, when the tableware 40 is arranged on the bottom plate 22, it has a height greater than that of the first side plate 24. In this specification, "height" refers to the distance from the upper surface 22a of the bottom plate 22 or the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32, based on the upper surface 22a or the inner surface 32a. That is, it is configured such that the height H3 of the first side plate 24 < the height H2 of the tableware 40.

[0015] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the second side plate 34 has an inner side plate 34(34a) and an outer side plate 34(34b) formed outside the inner side plate 34(34a). The height H5 of the outer side plate 34(34b) from the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 is greater than the height H4 of the inner side plate 34(34a) from the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 (H4 < H5). And when the box body 20 is closed with the lid 30, the tip surface 36 of the inner side plate 34(34a) is configured to be able to contact the tip surface 24a of the first side plate 24.

[0016] In this way, in the serving box 10, one or more dishes 40 are placed on the bottom plate 22, which has a flat upper surface 22a of the box body 20, and the height H2 of the dishes 40, based on the upper surface 22a of the bottom plate 22, is greater than the height H3 of the first side plate 24, which forms the side wall of the box body 20, so that the upper portion of the dishes 40 is located above the upper end of the first side plate 24. Therefore, the dish 40 is not enclosed by the first side plate 24, creating a feeling of claustrophobia. This allows for the same luxury as traditional celebratory meals.

[0017] Furthermore, the second side plate 34 forming the side wall of the lid 30 has an inner plate 34 (34a) and an outer plate 34 (34b) that is higher from the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 than the inner plate 34 (34a). Therefore, when the box body 20 is closed with the lid 30, the leading end surface 24a of the first side plate 24 abuts against the leading end surface 36 of the inner plate 34 (34a), and the outer plate 34 (34b) is positioned outside the first side plate 24 of the box body 20, overlapping the first side plate 24. Therefore, unlike the structures in Patent Documents 1 and 2 where the main body and lid abut against each other at their abutting surfaces, a sense of solidity similar to that of a conventional tiered box can be realized.

[0018] Furthermore, when the box body 20 is closed with the lid 30, the tip surface 24a of the first side panel 24 of the box body 20 abuts against the tip surface 36 of the inner panel 34 (34a), so the internal volume of the serving box 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the first side panel 24 or the inner panel 34 (34a). Therefore, the internal volume can be adjusted according to the cooked ingredients Fc served in the tableware 40, which provides a wider range of options for the volume of cooked ingredients Fc.

[0019] In this embodiment, the inner plate 34 (34a) and the outer plate 34 (34b) that make up the second side plate 34 are configured as separate bodies, but they may also be configured as an integrated body.

[0020] In one embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the box body 20 and the lid body 30 are formed in a rectangular, particularly square, shape in plan view. This gives them a sense of solidity similar to traditional Japanese tiered boxes. However, the box body 20 and the lid body 30 may also be formed in a rectangular or other shape in plan view.

[0021] 1, the dish 40 is bowl-shaped, but may be plate-shaped or have other shapes. Also, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the dish 40 is bowl-shaped with a circular outer shape of the portion where food is stored, but may be oval, rectangular, or have other shapes other than circular.

[0022] In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the bottom plate 22 is provided at the middle position in the height direction of the first side plate 24, but it may be provided at the lower end of the first side plate 24.

[0023] 1, the lid 30 has a flange 50 that protrudes from the outer periphery of the top plate 32 above the outer surface 32b of the top plate 32. After the food is served in the serving box 10 at a celebratory event, the box body 20 may be placed on the outer surface 32b of the top plate 32, and the lid 30 may be used as a base for the box body 20. In such cases, the outer periphery of the first side panel 24 is configured to fit. In this way, the outer peripheral surface of the box body 20 is arranged so as to be able to fit inside the protruding edge 50, and the protruding edge 50 acts as a wall that prevents the box body 20 from moving freely or shifting from the top plate 32. Therefore, the box body 20 can be stably fixed on the lid body 30.

[0024] 1, the second side plate 34 and the flange 50 are integral and flush with each other. In another embodiment, the second side plate 34 and the flange 50 may be formed to have the same thickness. In such a configuration, if the outer plate 34 (34b) is arranged to be able to fit onto the outside of the first side plate 24 when the box body 20 is closed with the lid 30, then when the lid 30 is used as a base for the box body 20, the flange 50 will naturally be located outside the outer periphery of the box body 20. This makes it easy to form the flange 50.

[0025] 1, the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20 and the top plate 32 of the lid 30 have a rectangular shape. The outer plate 34 (34b) constituting the second side plate 34 has leg portions 52 at the four corners, the height of which from the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 is greater than that of other portions of the outer plate 34 (34b). Between the leg portions 52, recesses 54 having a height smaller than that of the leg portions 52 are formed in the outer plate 34 (34b) on the four sides.

[0026] According to this embodiment, the outer plate 34 (34b) has legs 52 at the four corners that are higher than the other parts of the outer plate 34 (34b), so that when the lid 30 is used as a base for the box body 20, or when dishes 40 containing food Fc are placed on the top surface of the top plate 32 of the lid 30, it can have a luxurious feel that is no different from a conventional tray. In addition, the outer plate 34 (34b) has recesses 54 on the lower side between the legs 52, so that the lid 30 can be lifted by inserting a hand into the recesses 54, making it easy to carry.

[0027] In one embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the box body 20 is provided with a partition plate 60. The partition plate 60 is disposed on the upper surface 22a of the bottom plate 22 to divide the bottom plate 22 into multiple regions. When dishes 40 containing multiple ingredients Fc are placed on the bottom plate 22, the partition plate 60 divides the upper surface of the bottom plate 22 into multiple regions corresponding to each dish 40. Therefore, the partition plate 60 can prevent the dishes 40 placed in each of the multiple regions from moving or tipping over.

[0028] In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition plate 60 is configured separately from the box body 20 and the lid body 30. By configuring the partition plate 60 separately from the box body 20 or the lid body 30, the size and shape of the area partitioned by the partition plate 60 can be changed according to the size and shape of the tableware 40, and by removing the unnecessary partition plate 60 after serving, similar to a conventional tray, the bottom plate 22 on which the tableware 40 is placed can be felt to be wider. On the other hand, in another embodiment, the partition plate 60 may be configured integrally with the box body 20 or the lid body 30.

[0029] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, if the height of the partition plate placed on the upper surface 22a of the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20 is H1, and the height of at least one tableware 40 placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 22 is H2, then H1 and H2 are in the relationship of H2 < H1. According to this embodiment, since (the height H2 of the tableware 40) < (the height H1 of the partition plate 60), when the tableware 40 is placed on the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20 and the lid body 30 closes the box body 20, the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 does not drop below the upper end surface of the partition plate 60. Therefore, a space is always ensured above the tableware 40 inside the serving box 10 after closing. As a result, it becomes possible to serve the food Fc so that it bulges above the upper end of the tableware 40, and the food Fc served above the upper end of the tableware 40 after closing is not crushed by the top plate 32.

[0030] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition plate 60 is composed of a plurality of long plates 62 extending on one side, and each of the long plates 62 has the same length in the width direction (short side direction). And each of the plurality of long plates 62 is arranged such that the long side is along the upper surface of the top plate 32, and the plurality of long plates 62 are combined with each other in a grid pattern.

[0031] According to the divider plate 60 of this embodiment, the long sides of the multiple long plates 62 are arranged along the upper surface of the top plate 32, so the divider plate 60 has the same height everywhere. Therefore, it is easy to set the height of the divider plate 60 relative to the height of the first side plate 24 or the tableware 40. In addition, because the upper surface 22a of the bottom plate 22 can be divided into a lattice pattern, the shape of the divided areas can be made to make it easy to store the tableware 40. Furthermore, it is easy to change the shape of the divided areas to match the shape of the tableware 40.

[0032] 1, the multiple long plates 62 are arranged diagonally (i.e., diagonally) with respect to the four sides that form the outer edge of the square top plate 32. In another embodiment, depending on the size and shape of the multiple tableware 40, each of the multiple long plates 62 may be arranged parallel to the four sides of the top plate 32.

[0033] The box body 20, the lid 30, and the partition plate 60 may be made of, for example, wood, plastic, synthetic resin foam, etc. The tableware 40 may be made of, for example, wood, plastic, metal, etc.

[0034] In one embodiment, the height H1 of the partition plate 60 is set equal to the sum of the height H3 of the first side plate 24 and the height H4 of the inner plate 34 (34a), as shown in the following formula (1). H1=H3+H4 (1) According to this embodiment, when the lid 30 is closed on the box body 20, the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 contacts the partition plate 60, and the front end surface 24a of the first side plate 24 contacts the front end surface 36 of the inner plate 34 (34a) simultaneously. Therefore, the compressive strength against a vertical compressive load acting on the top plate 32 or the bottom plate 22 can be increased.

[0035] When the following formula (2) is satisfied, the inner surface 32a of the top plate 32 does not come into contact with the partition plate 60, and only the tip surface 24a of the first side plate 24 comes into contact with the tip surface 36 of the inner plate 34 (34a). H1 <H3+H4 (2) In this case, the space above the dish 40 is expanded, so that the food ingredients Fc can be arranged so that they bulge significantly above the top edge of the dish 40, as described above, resulting in a luxurious dish suitable for a celebratory occasion.

[0036] In one embodiment, when the lid body 30 is closed on the box body 20 and the tip surface 24a of the abutting first side plate 24 abuts against the tip surface 36 of the inner plate 34 (34a), the lower end of the leg 52 of the lid body 30 is configured not to reach the lower end of the first side plate 24 of the box body 20. This ensures that when the lid body 30 is closed on the box body 20 and food is served, the tip surface 24a of the abutting first side plate 24 and the tip surface 36 of the inner plate 34 (34a) are in abutting contact with each other.

[0037] 5 to 8 are explanatory diagrams each showing an example of how to use the food serving box 10. Fig. 5 shows, as an example, food for the first meal served in multiple bowls 40 (40a) placed on the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20. A small bowl 42 containing a teething stone is placed in the center of the bottom plate 22.

[0038] In the example of use shown in Figure 6, the partition plate 60 has been removed, widening the bottom plate 22 on which the dish 40 is placed and making the bowl 40 (40a) easier to carry. Also, although a bowl 40 (40a) is available as the dish 40, there is no plate large enough to serve the sea bream Sb on, so the top plate 32 of the lid 30 is used as a plate, and the sea bream Sb is placed on the bottom plate 22. In this way, by using the lid 30 as a plate, the lid 30 can be used as a substitute for a plate for food Fc that is too small for the bowl 40 (40a). In addition, in the example of use shown in Figure 6, the partition plate 60 is removed when eating, but by removing the partition plate 60, it is possible to give the tray a luxurious feel like a conventional tray and also make the area above the bottom plate 22 appear wider.

[0039] Figure 7 shows an example of use in which the partition plate 60 is left on the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20. Other usage methods are the same as those in Figure 6. In this way, there is no problem with eating while the partition plate 60 is left on the bottom plate 22 of the box body 20.

[0040] 8, the lid 30 is placed under the box body 20 and used as a base for the box body 20. That is, the box body 20 is placed on the bottom plate 22, and the outer peripheral surface of the box body 20 is arranged so as to fit inside the protruding edge 50 formed on the outer peripheral edge of the top plate 32. In this way, by using the lid 30 as a base for the box body 20, it is possible to realize a luxurious appearance similar to that of a conventional tray. In addition, because the outer peripheral surface of the box body 20 is positioned so that it can fit inside the flange 50, the flange 50 acts as a wall that prevents the box body 20 from moving freely or shifting from the top plate 32. Therefore, the box body 20 can be stably fixed on the lid 30.

[0041] The contents described in each of the above embodiments can be understood, for example, as follows.

[0042] 1) A serving box according to one embodiment comprises a box body (20) having a bottom plate (22) forming a flat bottom surface and a first side plate (24) extending upward from the outer periphery of the bottom plate (22) to form a side wall, a lid (30) having a top plate (32) and a second side plate (34) extending downward from the outer periphery of the top plate (32) to form a side wall, and a small lid (30) placed on the bottom plate (22) for storing cooked ingredients (Fc), which, when placed on the bottom plate (22), has a height greater than that of the first side plate (24). The box is provided with at least one or more pieces of tableware (40), and the second side panel (34) includes an inner panel (34 (34a)) and an outer panel (34 (34b)) that is formed outside the inner panel (34 (34a)) and has a height from the inner surface (32a) of the top panel (32) greater than that of the inner panel (34 (34a)), and when the box body (20) is closed with the lid (30), a tip surface (36) of the inner panel (34 (34a)) is configured to be able to abut against a tip surface (24a) of the first side panel (24).

[0043] With this configuration, one or more dishes can be placed on the flat bottom surface of the box body, and the height of the first side panel that forms the side wall of the dish box body is greater than that of the first side panel, so the bottom of the box body is not enclosed by the first side panel, creating a feeling of claustrophobia. This allows for the same luxury as traditional celebratory trays. Furthermore, the second side panel forming the side wall of the lid has an inner panel and an outer panel that is taller from the inner surface of the top panel than the inner panel, so that when the box body is closed with the lid, the outer panel is positioned outside the first side panel of the box body so as to overlap the first side panel. Therefore, unlike the structure in Patent Documents 1 and 2 where the body and lid abut against each other at their contact surfaces, it is possible to embody a sense of solidity similar to that of a conventional tiered box.

[0044] Furthermore, since the tip end surface of the first side panel of the box body can come into contact with the tip end surface of the inner panel when the lid is closed, the internal volume of the serving box can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the inner panel or the first side panel. This allows the internal volume to be adjusted according to the amount of cooked ingredients served in the dishes, thereby expanding the range of options for the volume of cooked ingredients.

[0045] 2) Another aspect of the food serving box is the food serving box described in 1), wherein the lid body (30) has a protruding edge (50) that protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the top plate (32) above the outer surface of the top plate (32), and is configured so that the outer peripheral surface of the first side plate (24) can fit into it when the box body (20) is placed on the outer surface (32b) of the top plate (32).

[0046] With this configuration, after serving the food, when the lid is used as a base for the box body in the same vertical direction as when the lid is closed, the box body can be placed on the top plate so that its outer edge is surrounded by the above-mentioned protruding edge, thereby preventing the box body from moving freely and allowing it to be stably fixed on the lid.

[0047] 3) A food serving box according to yet another aspect is the food serving box described in 1) or 2), wherein the bottom plate (22) and the top plate (32) have a rectangular shape, and the outer plate (34(34b)) has legs (52) at the four corners of the outer plate (34(34b)), and the height from the inner surface (32a) of the top plate (32) is greater than the height of other parts of the outer plate (34(34b)).

[0048] According to such a configuration, when the lid is used as a base for the box body, or when the lid is used as a substitute for a dish by placing the food cooked on the lid, a high-class feeling indistinguishable from a conventional tray can be realized. Further, by forming a recess between the legs of the outer plate, a finger can be inserted into the recess to carry the lid, making handling easier.

[0049] 4) A food serving box according to yet another aspect is the food serving box described in any one of 1) to 3), further comprising a partition plate (60) disposed on the bottom surface (22) of the box body (20) for partitioning the area of the bottom surface (22) into a plurality of areas.

[0050] According to such a configuration, since the partition plate is provided, when carrying the food serving box, the tableware placed in the area partitioned by the partition plate can be prevented from floating or falling by the partition plate. Also, by configuring the partition plate separately from the box body or the lid, the size and shape of the area partitioned by the partition plate can be changed according to the size and shape of the tableware, and by removing the partition plate after serving, the bottom surface on which the tableware is placed can be made to feel as wide as a conventional tray.

[0051] 5) A food serving box according to yet another aspect is the food serving box described in 4), where, when the height of the partition plate (60) is H1 and the height of the at least one piece of tableware (40) is H2, the height H1 of the partition plate (60) and the height H2 of the tableware (40) are in the relationship H2 < H1.

[0052] With this configuration, since the relationship (height H2 of the dishes) < (height H1 of the partition plate) holds, when the dishes are placed on the bottom of the box body and the lid is closed, space is secured above the top of the dishes inside the serving box, making it possible to serve food ingredients that exceed the top of the dishes, and there is no risk of the food ingredients being crushed by the top plate 32 even after the lid is closed.

[0053] 6) In yet another embodiment, the food serving box is a food serving box as described in 4) or 5), in which the partition plate (60) includes a plurality of long plates (62) extending along the longitudinal direction and having the same width, and the plurality of long plates (62) are combined in a lattice pattern.

[0054] According to this configuration, by arranging the partition plate with the long side of the long plate along the bottom surface of the box body, the height of the partition plate can be made uniform at any position on the partition plate, which makes it easy to set the height of the partition plate relative to the height of the first side plate, tableware, etc. Also, because the bottom surface of the box body can be divided into a lattice pattern, the shape of each divided area can be made to make it easy to store tableware.
