  • Patent number: 6770312
    Abstract: The frozen food product according to the present invention contains as a major ingredient boiled rice grains or boiled pasta pieces; a water migration-preventing layer formed on the surface of each rice grain or boiled pasta; and a sauce layer formed on the surface of the water migration-preventing layer, and the product is frozen in such a state. In the frozen food product described above, rice grains or pasta pieces contained as the major ingredient are mixed homogeneously with a sauce, and if the frozen food is packaged portionwise, the resulting packaged products can give stable quality where the major ingredient and the sauce are blended at a constant rate. This frozen food product can be manufactured by carrying out a step of admixing a primary sauce to the major ingredient so as to form a water migration-preventing layer; a step of freezing the thus treated major ingredient; a step of admixing a secondary sauce to the resulting major ingredient; and a step of freezing the resulting major ingredient.

  • Patent number: 6152319
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermally insulated synthetic resin container, which is a thermally insulated container having a double walled structure and being made of synthetic resin, which reduces the thermal conduction loss from the mouth portion, and which has excellent thermally insulating performance capabilities.The thermally insulated synthetic resin container 1 of the present invention has an inner container 4 and an outer container 3, which are both made of synthetic resin and which are both connected at their respective mouth portions 12, 11 while providing a space portion in between the two containers. According to this thermally insulated synthetic resin container which is formed by having the space portion between the inner container 4 and the outer container 3 be a thermally insulating layer 6, a reduced thermal conductive portion 14 having a wall of reduced thickness is formed in the vicinity of the mouth portion 12 of the inner container 4.

  • Patent number: 6123218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a construction for attaching a radiant heat blocking metal foil to an insulating layer of an insulated container. Heretofore, a construction for attaching a radiant heat blocking metal foil involves positioning, an adhesive or adhesive tape on the rear face of the metal foil to thereby attach the foil at a predetermined position. However this has the problem that the foil can be attached at an unintended position, so that accurate positioning is not achieved, and the fixing takes time.

  • Patent number: 6010027
    Abstract: A thermally insulated synthetic resin container formed by providing, within a space formed in between an inner container and an outer container which are joined as a single body and forms a double walled synthetic resin container, a thermally insulating synthetic resin layer having a double wall structure, which has gas having low thermal conductivity having a thermal conductivity lower than that of air, filled between the two walls; and said thermally insulated synthetic resin container which comprises a thermally insulating layer supporting means for securing to said double walled container said thermally insulating layer provided in the space within said double walled container, thereby preventing the rattling of said thermally insulating layer, eliminates the need for forming the metal plating film, and has superior thermally insulating capabilities and durability, and manufacturing thereof is easy and inexpensive, recycling of the synthetic resin is easy, the rattling noise produced when consumers use th

  • Patent number: 5913445
    Abstract: An insulated synthetic resin container 1 is provided by forming a container having a double walled structure by integrating a synthetic resin inner container 4 and a synthetic resin outer container 3 separated by a space 5 and forming an insulating layer 6 by enclosing a gas having low thermal conductivity in space 5 of the above-mentioned container. This insulated synthetic resin container 1 comprises a gas replacement penetrating hole formed in the center of one of the synthetic resin inner container 4 and synthetic resin outer container 3; and a contact preventing projection 14 formed in the vicinity of this gas replacement penetrating hole 7 projecting into the insulating layer 6 from the surface in which this penetrating hole 7 is formed or from the opposite surface.
