Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to an accommodation bag wherein mixing of plural number of liquids to be processed (heating or mixing), or of the aforementioned liquids and goods is made possible in one external package by heating with the usage of an outer pressure or a microwave oven and the like, and an accommodation bag equipped with a heat generation means for generating a heat generation chemical reaction in an independent bag in the liquid accommodation bag without being mixed with the liquids, and making it possible for using only the heat thus generated.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Conventionally, when a liquid or the plural number of goods are planned to be used by heating or mixing, it required a labour and a time for preperation of a heating apparatus as they are stored in separate containers and the like respectively. There has been no apparatus having such a structure as to carry out these operations in one outer package easily. As to the foods, for saving a cooking time and a labour, the frozen foods or processed foods, which are cooked foods being frozen in a pack, are used as easily preparable ones for edible condition. As to such a beverage as tea or coffee, it requires water and heating, and generally takes a time/labour for preparation. Nothing is existed so far for which becomes drinkable by applying the heat only.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

1. Problems to be Resolved by the Invention

When the plural kinds of liquids of different quality are mixed or mixed with other goods, there has been a problem that the quality is rapidly deteriorated. In the case of the foods, the taste is lost and a validity period is shortened as well. The frozen foods have a problem that it takes time and labour for thawing and the taste becomes deteriorated. As to the processed foods, since it is preseasoned, the taste is lowered if it elapses a long time. There are some which become edible just by heating with a microwave oven, but a variety is limited and seasoning is also limited to a simple one.

2. Means of Solving the Problem

For making it possible to easily carry out heating or mixing of plural goods in one bag, this invention has a basic structure wherein the plural number of accommodation bags are installed in one outer bag in a manner that at least one of which is a liquid accommodation bag, having a heating means in it when necessary. Namely, it is constituted with a heat resistance outer bag having a vapor releasing hole on a top face, which is to be formed in accordance with an inside pressure of the accommodation bag, and a heat resistance liquid accommodation bag being installed in the outer bag accommodating the foods accommodation bag and the liquid. When the accommodation bag is heated by a microwave oven and the like, the liquid in the liquid accommodation bag flows out by a pressure inside the bag so as to make it possible for immersing and heating the foods in the foods accommodation bag, which allows a passage of the liquid. Also, in a case that the number of liquid accommodation bag is plural, the mixture of the plural liquids is carried out in one outer bag.

The accommodation bag is also constituted with a heat resistance outer bag having a vapor releasing hole on the upper face and a hot water releasing hole formed on the bottom face, a heat resistance liquid/foods accommodation bag which accommodates the liquid/foods and allows the passage of the hot water is installed in the outer bag, and a heat resistance liquid accommodation bag which accommodates the liquid and is installed in the outer bag piled over the liquid/foods accommodation bag, wherein the liquid in the liquid accommodation bag is made to boil and the boiled water flows out over the liquid/foods accommodation bag when the outer bag is heated by the microwave oven and the like. Also, the vapor releasing hole, the hot water releasing hole and a means provided with the liquid accommodation bag for making the liquid flow out possible are holes to be formed respectively by heating, and are covered by sealings before being heated. Stripping off timing of the seals are different depending on the holes respectively. Therefore, vapor flow up time can be set arbitrarily, depending on the difference of heating conditions, strength or material of the seal. An expansion free displaying means is mounted so as to make a vapor pressure variation inside the accommodation bag visible.

Further, as to a method for heating the outer bag, the problem is solved by installing a heating means in the liquid accommodation bag. Namely, the heating means is independently installed in the liquid accommodation bag and has a means to obtain a heat generation by mixing, when they are used, at least two kinds of materials for generating the heat by chemical reaction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

1. Embodiments of the Invention

As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodation bag comprises the outer bag 1, the liquid accommodation bag 3, the accommodation bag 7 which accommodates eating/drinking goods and the like, and the heating means 6. Each of the bag is made by adhering the two piled up sheets of synthetic resin material being superior in a heat resistance and by applying a heat sealing to its periphery. On the top face of the outer bag 1, a vapor pressure releasing hole 4 is formed, and on the bottom face of the bag 1, a hot water releasing hole 5 is formed and they are covered by seals. Since an inner part of the outer bag 1 becomes a high pressure, the reinforcement seals are pasted to an outside of the top face, and an inside of the bottom face so that the holes are not torn out. A vapor pressure discharge adjusting packing seal is pasted to an inside of the upper face. The vapor pressure discharge adjusting packing seal is formed with a foaming polyester, flocked polyurethane foam and the like, which are durable for water and superior in gas permeability and elasticity having a width of 2 mm to 5 mm degree.

The liquid accommodation bag 3 is also made of two similar synthetic resin material sheets by being piled over similarly to that of the outer bag 1, whose periphery is heat sealed and formed in a bag shape, in which a fluid is accommodated. The liquid in the liquid accommodation bag 3 outflows from the bag 3 when it is heated, but an outflow temperature of the liquid can be adjusted by a position of the hole. In the figure, the liquid flow-out hole position is formed on the top so as to flow out as a vapor, the hole may be formed at the bottom. In this case, a vapor pressure inside the liquid accommodation bag 3 should be closed so that it is opened at a higher vapor pressure than the one when the hole is formed at the top. The FIG. 2 is describes a status where the liquid is flowed out from the bag 3, and the FIG. 3 describes a status where the vapor releasing hole 4 is formed on the expansion free member, which becoming visible by expansion of the vapor pressure inside the accommodation bag. Both of figures are describing where the heating means 6 is installed in the bag 3 but, when heating is carried out by the microwave oven, the heating means 6 is not required to be installed in an accommodation bag 7. A heating time display 8 in the FIG. 3 is displaying a vapor blow up time. It can be useful for preventing a danger.

In the eating/drinking goods accommodation bag 7, a favorite beverage such as a black tea, Japanese tea, oolong tea and the like may be accommodated. The bag is made by overlaying two sheets of capillitium net or a non-woven cloth formed with a synthetic resin material. The sheet is superior in heat resistance and cold resistance property. The periphery of the sheet is also adhered in degree of 5 mm or 10 mm width. The bag 7 is also acting as a filtering bag. When the ground coffee beans are accommodated, the bag is used as an eating/drinking goods accommodation bag 7 in a condition that the ground beans are clamped with a filtering paper from the above and the bottom. At the bottom of the eating/drinking goods accommodation bag 7, one or several or crossing synthetic resin material fiber thread of 0.5 mm degree or a net is provided so as to rapidly and smoothly passes hot water of the black tea or coffee, and carry out a pressure adjusting function smoothly in the eating/drinking goods accommodation bag 7. The eating/drinking goods accommodation bag 7 is pasted to a bottom inner side of the outer bag 1 with heat sealing.

With reference to the heating device 6 installed inside the liquid, it is considered to be a double constitution for utilizing a chemical reaction, wherein an oleaginous oil is used on one part and a compound and the like composed of calcium and carbon is used on the other so that it yields a high temperature by reacting them when they are used.

2. Effects of the Invention
