Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Purpose of the invention) The present invention relates to a device for removing the contents of a can.

Conventionally, mizu-yokan is widely sold as a can, and although some people eat it by opening it with a can opener and scooping it directly with a spoon, they often eat it by taking the mizu-yokan out of the can onto a confectionery plate. This is often the case, especially when serving to customers.

However, it is difficult to take the mizuyokan cleanly out of the can, and in most cases, the product that is taken out ends up looking really unsightly. This is because when you open a can with a can opener, the opening of the can becomes jagged and wavy, so even if you turn the can over, the contents get caught in the jagged edges of the opening and don't come out. If you try to force it out by hitting it, the jagged edges of the opening will scrape off the sides of the mizu-yokan, leaving many streaks on the sides, making it look unsightly, and sometimes the mizu-yokan will fall apart in a jumbled mess. In addition, in recent years, pull-top cans that can be opened by hand without the need for a can opener have come into use, but due to the structure of these cans, it is not possible to open them all the way to the edge of the can lid. figure,
An uncut portion 12 is formed around the opening of the can 11 (Fig. 5), and this uncut portion becomes a hindrance, and even when the can is turned over in the same way as above, the contents do not come out, so it is difficult to hit it hard. If you try to force it out, the mizuyokan may fall apart.

For this reason, some people use a knife-like object to cut around the opening after opening the lid of the can, but this method does not allow you to cut the sides of the mizuyokan cleanly without any unevenness. It's difficult, and even if you cut it like this, it's still difficult to take it out onto a confectionery plate without damaging it or losing its shape, and it doesn't go very well.

(Structure of the invention) The present invention involves rolling a flexible plate-like body into a cylindrical shape, holding the cylindrical body in one's hand, and inserting the skein into an opening of a can to empty the contents. It is made to be able to be held in this cylindrical body, pulled out from inside the can, and then transferred directly from the cylindrical body onto a confectionery plate or the like.

Examples include polyethylene, polypropylene and other plastics, slightly hot paper, paper whose surface is coated with plastic, thin metal plates, laminates of plastic with aluminum foil, and other flexible materials. to form a plate-like body. This main body has a length that is at least long enough to go around the opening edge of the can used, and when the main body is wound into a cylindrical shape and inserted through the opening and comes into contact with the bottom of the can. It has such a thickness that it protrudes further outward from the edge of the opening.

The one shown uses a slightly hot polypropylene sheet to form a belt-shaped main body 1. Two locking holes 2 are provided at one end of one side edge of the main body 1, and a locking piece 3 that engages with the locking hole 2 is punched out at the other end. An engagement piece 4 is provided at one end of the other side edge, and an engagement hole 5 into which the engagement piece 4 engages is formed at the other end.

When the band-shaped main body 1 is wound in the length direction and the locking piece 3 is inserted into the locking hole 2, and the engaging piece 4 on the other side is also inserted into the engaging hole 5, this engaging piece 4 The protrusion 6 is engaged with the engagement hole 5, and the cylindrical body 1 of the present invention is held in that state. At this time, the diameter of the cylindrical body is about the same as the diameter of the opening of the can,
It runs along the opening edge of the can.

When you hold the cylindrical body and place it against the opening of the can, the body will wrap around the edge of the can's opening, and from this position, rotate the body and insert it toward the bottom of the can. Then, part of the main body enters the can and one edge touches the bottom of the can, and the water yokan inside is cut into a circle and slips into the cylindrical main body, so from this state, the main body If you pull it out of the can while holding it, the water yokan will be taken out from the can while still being inside the cylindrical body, so place it on a confectionery plate and lift the body upwards. If you do this, the mizuyokan will come out of the cylindrical body and be placed on the confectionery plate. In the illustrated case, the locking piece 3 is loosely fitted into the locking hole 2, and the engaging piece 4 is loosely fitted into the engaging hole 5 so that the diameter of the cylinder can be changed. When holding the mizuyokan in the main body and taking it out from the can, make the diameter of the cylinder a little smaller, and when taking out the mizuyokan from the can, make the diameter of the cylinder a little larger. It becomes even easier.

The sides of the mizuyokan placed on the confectionery plate were cut out and held by the body, so the sides were perfectly flat and the overall shape was neat. It tastes good when served to customers, and you can eat it comfortably.

The one shown has 3
An insertion piece 8 is provided through the folding line 7 of the book, and when the folding line is successively bent and the insertion piece 8 is inserted into the insertion hole 9 and locked, the handle part 10 protruding from the surface of the main body is released. can. If you hold the cylindrical body by placing your thumb on the handhold 10,
This will serve as a clue and will make handling easier, making it easier to take out the mizuyokan from the can.

If you keep these take-out tools flat, they won't take up much space, and if you put them in an assortment of mizu-yokan, etc., you can use them conveniently. It can be kept. In addition to the above-mentioned water yokan, this retrieval tool can be used for jelly such as pudding, fruit jelly, coffee jelly, other confectionery, cheese, curd, putty, and other foods that can be held inside the cylindrical body. It can be used for various things.

(Effects of the invention) The invention has a simple structure as described above, and is useful because anyone can cleanly and easily take out mizuyokan etc. from the can, and it can be produced economically. can.
