[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Lunch boxes are one kind of utensils necessary for meals.
The conventional structure of lunch box is only a container for
storing therein food and it has a cover able to cover the
container. The lunch box mostly is made of metal (such as stainless
steel). However, due to various requirements, the structure of a
lunch box has been variant; for example, a dual layer lunch box has
a first layer that is a deeper container to be used for receiving
staple food (rice or noodle), and has a second layer that is a
shallower container to be hung on the periphery of the first layer,
the second layer is divided into several receiving areas for
receiving cooked meats and vegetables. Thus, the staple food, the
cooked meats and vegetables are separated with one another to have
their flavor and tastes maintained. Certainly, there are many kinds
of lunch boxes such as heat maintaining lunch boxes or portable
lunch boxes etc.
[0005] Modern people in busy lives, particularly students and those
nine-to-fivers, hardly have time to prepare meals in lunch boxes.
This makes increased population of people who are eating outside
homes or offices. Presently, containers to be stored therein food
for eating outside homes or offices mostly are the lunch boxes
capable of being heated by microwave ovens, such as those lunch
boxes sold in convenient stores and they are mainly made of PP
(polypropylene); and such lunch boxes mostly are provided only with
a plurality of separated spaces for receiving staple food or cooked
meats and vegetables except independent space for receiving soup.
Even when there is independent space for receiving soup, the soup
is stored in a cup covered with a small cover to avoid being
toppling over to have the soup spilled out during carrying in a
road.
[0006] Although providing cups for storing therein soups increases
the vendibility of lunch boxes, it also increases the cost of
production of the lunch boxes, if including the costs of soup cups,
cup covers, and the time for covering the covers on the soup
cups.
[0007] Therefore, to provide a lunch box to store therein food
including soup and repast directly is the main goal of the present

to store therein soup and the remaining spaces are used to store
therein cooked rice or repast. The cover is formed thereon
downwardly recessed areas in corresponding to and in opposition
respectively to the receiving spaces of the receptacle; the bottoms
or peripheries of the cover and the partitions of the receiving
spaces of the receptacle at the positions opposite respectively to
those of the bottoms or peripheries are provided with engaging
means for mutual engaging, so that the cover and the receptacle can
be tightly engaged with each other to prevent spilling of soup.
[0013] One feature of the present invention resides in that: a
plurality of outwardly protruding areas formed between the recessed
areas on the upper surface of the cover and the receiving spaces on
the bottom surface of the receptacle of the lunch box are enveloped
with heat insulating material for having heat therein maintained,
having coldness therein maintained, and having freshness of soup
and repast therein maintained too.
[0014] Another feature of the present invention resides in that: a
flange encircles the periphery of the receptacle, the flange is
provided with a tearing line, in order that a part of the flange
can be torn off along the tearing line to form a set of handle.
[0015] Another feature of the present invention resides in that:
the periphery of the cover protrudes upwards to form a circle of
protruding wall; the inner wall surface of the protruding wall has
a circling recess to allow a planar sheet to be embedded therein to
seal the upper surface of the cover. And the surface of the planar

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0032] Referring firstly to FIGS. 1, 2, 3A and 3B showing
perspective views before and after assembling and sectional
schematic views before and after engagement of elements of a first
embodiment of lunch box 1 of the present invention, the lunch box 1
comprises: a receptacle 10 and a cover 20 able to cover the
receptacle 10.
[0033] The receptacle 10 is provided therein with partitions 11 to
divide the receptacle 10 into a plurality of receiving spaces 111,
112 and 113 etc. Each of the receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113 has
a first height "H" for receiving staple food (such as rice or
noodle) or cooked meats and vegetables. In which the receiving
space 113 is used to store therein soup or some other food
juices.
[0034] The cover 20 is formed downwardly recessed areas 23a, 23b
and 23c etc. in corresponding to and in opposition respectively to
the receiving spaces 113, 112 and 111 etc. of the receptacle 10.
Each of the recessed areas 23a, 23b and 23c has a second height "h"
which is smaller than the height "H", in order that each of the
receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113 etc. has a sufficient space for
receiving food. The bottoms or peripheries of the recessed areas
23a, 23b and 23c of the cover 20 and the partitions 11 of the
receiving spaces 113, 112 and 111 of the receptacle 10 at the
positions opposite respectively to those of the bottoms or
peripheries are provided with engaging means for mutual engaging.
So that the cover 20 and the receptacle 10 can be tightly engaged
with each other to prevent soup or food juices in the receiving
spaces 111, 112 and 113 from spilling outside or mingling.
[0035] In one embodiment, for the purpose of tight engaging of the
cover 20 with the receptacle 10, the partition 11 on the periphery
of each of the receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113 is provided
thereon with a first engaging means which is defined a stepped
portion 14 provided on the inner wall of the partition 11. Each
stepped portion 14 includes a first surface 141 and a second
surface 142 having therebetween an angle that preferably is an
acute included angle .theta.1 having preferably between 80-89
degrees.
[0036] The cover 20 includes an upper surface 21 and a lower
surface 22. The lower surface 22 is provided thereon with a
plurality of second engaging means in opposition respectively to
those of first engaging means when the cover 20 covers the
receptacle 10. In this embodiment, the plurality of second engaging
means take advantage of downwardly recessing of the upper surface
21 of the cover 20 to protrude downwardly out of the lower surface
22 of the cover 20. Thereby the lower surface 22 of the cover 20
forms bottoms 221 and peripheries 222. Between each of the bottoms
221 and the peripheries 222 is an obtuse included angle .theta.2
which is preferably a supplementary angle to the acute included
angle .theta.1. Hence when the cover 20 covers the receptacle 10,
the bottoms 221 protruding downwardly out of the lower surface 22
of the cover 20 and the peripheries 222 can exactly be firmly
engaged with the stepped portions 14 to make tight engaging of the
cover 20 with the receptacle 10, so that soup and food juices in
the receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113 do not spill outside nor
mingle
[0037] In another embodiment, each first engaging means can be
provided on the top of each partition 11; while each second
engaging means can be provided on the bottom of the cover 20 at
each corresponding position to that of the first engaging means
respectively to engage with the latter (this will be described
hereinafter).
[0038] Referring to FIG. 4, a plurality of outwardly protruding
areas formed between the recessed areas 23a, 23b and 23c of the
cover 20 of the lunch box 1 and the receiving spaces 111, 112 and
113 on the bottom surface of the receptacle 10 are enveloped with
heat insulating material 50, 50a for having heat in the receptacle
10 maintained, having coldness therein maintained, and having
freshness therein maintained too. When the embodiment in FIG. 4 is
provided with heat insulating or heat maintaining material, the
lunch box 1 of the present invention can be used as a container of
ice products such as ice cream etc.
[0039] And referring to FIG. 5, the recessed areas 23a, 23b and 23c
formed on the upper surface 21 of the cover 20 can be used to
receive therein tissue papers 44, tableware (such as chopsticks 40
and spoons 41 etc.), flavoring packs 42 and tooth picks 43 etc.
[0040] Referring to FIG. 6, the periphery of the cover 20 has a
circle of upwardly protruding wall 25; the inner wall surface of
the protruding wall 25 has a circling recess 251 to allow a planar
sheet 27 to be embedded therein to close the upper surface 21 of
the cover 20, this can keep neat of the tableware and avoid
scattering of the things (the tableware 40, 41, flavoring packs 42
and tooth picks 43 etc) in the receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113.
And the surface of the planar sheet 27 can be printed thereon with
advertisement letters or patterns 271 etc.
[0041] And again referring to FIG. 1, a flange 60 encircles the
periphery of the receptacle 10. The flange 60 is provided with a
tearing line 61, in order that a part of the flange 60 can be torn
off along the tearing line 61 to form a set of handle, such as is
shown in FIG. 7. Forming of the tearing line 61 is performed in
pressing of a mold; a predetermined area of the flange 60 is
pressed to be particularly thin to be beneficial for tearing the
flange 60 by a user.
[0042] When in practicing, the lunch box 1 can be used to store
therein any food including solid food and food juices.
Alternatively, a lunch box able to avoid the food juices in the
receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113 to mingle can further be used as
a freshness keeping container to reduce possibility of mingling of
flavors in the receiving spaces 111, 112 and 113. And therefore the
lunch box can be used as a portable food container.
[0043] Moreover, again referring to FIG. 8, the outwardly
protruding areas formed from the receiving spaces 113, 112 and 111
on the bottom surface of the receptacle 10 are in corresponding and
in opposition respectively to the recessed areas 23a, 23b and 23c
of the cover 20 of the lunch box 1. Therefore, a plurality of lunch
boxes can be piled up one on another conveniently. Such as is shown
in FIG. 9, in practical application, a plurality of receptacles 10
can be used for receiving cooked meats, vegetables and staple food,
while only the uppermost receptacle 10 has a cover 20 placed
thereon.
[0044] The material of the lunch box 1 can be PP (polypropylene) to
be heated in a microwave oven or to be free of washing and to be
discarded, or can be any other materials suitable for recycled
using.
[0045] Referring to FIG. 10 showing another embodiment of lunch box
of the present invention, the lunch box comprises a receptacle 70
and a cover 80 able to cover the receptacle 70.
[0046] The receptacle 70 is a food container having a receiving
unit 71, partitions 72 are provided inside of the receiving unit 71
to divide the receptacle 70 into a plurality of receiving spaces
211, 212, 213 for receiving staple food (rice or noodle) or cooked
meats and vegetables, wherein one receiving space 211 is used
particularly to store therein soup.
[0047] The receiving space 211 used particularly to store therein
soup has on its top periphery a circle of ridged portion 73 forming
a first engaging means. The cover 80 has thereon an upper surface
81 and a lower surface 82; the lower surface 82 is provided thereon
with a recessed portion 83 forming a second engaging means in
opposition to the ridged portion 73 of the first engaging means.
When the cover 80 covers the receptacle 70, the first engaging
means can have tight engaging with the second engaging means by
embedding of the ridged portion 73 in the recessed portion 83, and
thereby soup in the receiving space 211 does not spill outside.
[0048] And as shown in FIG. 11, the first engaging means of the
receptacle 70 can be a first lip 131 with a reversely hooking edge
protruding out of the top of the partitions 72, while the second
engaging means of the cover 80 can be a second lip 231 with a
reversely hooking edge protruding out of the bottom 82 of the cover
80. Thereby a force can be exerted to cover the cover 80 on the
receptacle 70 to render the first and the second lips 131, 231 to
tightly engage with each other. Thereby soup in the receiving space
211 does not spill outside (as shown in FIG. 12).
[0049] The cover 80 can also be integrally formed with the
receptacle 70, i.e., one side of the cover 80 is connected with one
side of the receptacle 70, such as is shown in FIG. 13, to allow
direct turning over of the cover 80 along a direction "D" on the
receptacle 70 for tight covering by mutual engaging between the
first and the second lips 131, 231. Such designing renders a person
of the art of food and beverage to directly cover the cover 80 onto
the receptacle 70 after placing in staple food, cooked meats,
vegetables and soup sequentially. There is no need of an additional
means such as rubber rings etc. to fix the cover 80 onto the
receptacle 70. Thereby packing speed for lunch boxes can be
increased. Certainly, the periphery of the receptacle 70 can be
provided with any means that can fixedly engage the cover 80 onto
the receptacle 70 without helping of additional rubber rings.
[0050] Although the receiving space 211 can be used to receive
soup, a conventional soup cup 30 can still be placed therein. In
this way, people of the art of food and beverage can flexibly use
soup cups in manufacturing lunch boxes.
[0051] And referring to FIG. 14, the upper surface 81 of the cover
80 can be provided thereon with a recessed area 84 for receiving
tableware (such as chopsticks and spoons etc.). The recessed area
84 can also be added thereon with a lid 841 to keep neat of the
tableware. The recessed area 84 can also be added therein with
clamping means for stably clamping the tableware (not shown).
Certainly, one of the above stated plural receiving spaces can also
be used as a tableware receiving space (not shown).
[0052] In practicing, the tops of all the partitions 72 can further
be provided with first engaging means and second engaging means.
Referring to FIG. 15, it shows that each of the partitions 72 of
the receptacle 70 has on its top a continuous circle of a recessed
portion 132. The lower surface 82 of the cover 80 can be provided
thereon with a circle of ridged portion 232 in corresponding to and
in opposition to the recessed portion 132; thereby when the cover
20 covers the receptacle 10, the ridged portion 232 is tightly
engaged in the recessed portion 132 to prevent food juices in the
receiving spaces from spilling outside or mingling.
Therefore, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0053] 1. The structure of lunch box of the present invention
renders the bottoms or peripheries of the recessed areas of the
cover to be engaged with the partitions of the receiving spaces of
the receptacle at the positions opposite respectively to those of
the bottoms or peripheries, so that a well-engaging lunch box is
formed and soup therein is prevented from spilling outside.
[0054] 2. The lunch box is different from the conventional lunch
boxes, it can be directly stored therein soup, and can be fast
assembled and detached by providing the mutually engageable first
and second engaging means to form a fast assembling and detaching
lunch box structure. This saves the cost of the requisition to use
a soup cup, and omits the step of covering a cover onto the soup
cup, and to thereby save the time in manufacturing each of such a
lunch box.
[0055] 3. The lunch box at least can have excellent tight engaging
at the tops of the partitions after storing soup by precise
engagement of the first and the second engaging means. And this
idea can be extended to apply to each receiving space, hence food
juices in staple food, cooked meats and vegetables will not mingle,
so that the staple food, the cooked meats and the vegetables can
surely keep their original flavors and tastes.
[0056] 4. The lunch box can be made a discardable one to achieve an
objective of simplifying and convenience. Alternatively, it can be
made a lunch box able to use repeatedly to obtain an
environment-friendly objective.
[0057] 5. The lunch box is enveloped therearound heat insulating
material to have heat therein maintained, have coldness therein
maintained, and have freshness therein maintained too.
[0058] 6. The lunch box is provided thereon with a simple set of
handle in favor of carrying.
[0059] In conclusion, according to the description disclosed and
drawings above, the present invention surely can achieve the
expected objectives thereof to provide a lunch box able to store
therein soup and food juices of repast in the receiving spaces is
prevented from mingling.
[0060] The embodiment stated above is only for illustrating the
present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in this art
that various equivalent modifications or changes according to the
idea of and without departing from the disclosing and teaching of
this invention shall also fall within technical scope of the
appended claims.
