  • Patent number: 10947023
    Abstract: Provided is an instant noodles container lid that provides indication according to elapse of time from the start of boiling water process. An instant noodles container lid includes a surface member, an intermediate member, and a seal base member having a sealant layer in order, respectively, from one surface side. The surface member has a printed layer in an area other than a first area. The intermediate member includes a paper layer, a printed layer, a filling layer, and a wax layer in order, respectively, from the one surface side, and the wax layer is in a second area that covers the first area. A first half cut is formed from the surface member into the paper layer, in the first area. A second half cut is formed in the second area from the filling layer into the paper layer in a portion outside of the first area.

  • Publication number: 20200180843
    Abstract: The steam-releasing flat pouch comprises a seal part, a steam-releasing seal part, and a steam discharge part. The seal part seals stacked sheets. The steam-releasing seal part is located in the inner parts of the sheet inside the seal part, and is configured to join parts of the sheet so that they are not continuous with the seal part. The steam discharge part is formed in the steam-releasing seal part and configured not to allow communication with the outside when the steam-releasing seal part is not peeled, and to allow communication with the outside when the steam-releasing seal part is peeled. The steam-releasing seal part includes an anterior peeling part including a part that peels apart first as the pressure increases, and a posterior peeling part including a part that peels apart last. The width of the posterior peeling part is smaller than the width of the anterior peeling part.

  • Patent number: 10661948
    Abstract: A pouch includes two sheets placed one upon another, a seal, and a non-sealed portion. The seal includes a first seal portion and a second seal portion. The first seal portion extends along an edge of the two sheets. The second seal portion is depressed toward the accommodation cavity. The second seal portion includes a distal end portion and a connection portion. The distal end portion is configured to be ripped by stress concentration that occurs when steam generated from the contents raises pressure of the accommodation cavity. The connection portion is configured to connect the distal end portion and the first seal portion. The connection portion includes a ripping restriction portion configured to restrict ripping of the second seal portion that progresses from the distal end portion toward the first seal portion.
