Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a busy housewife inaccurately meters a quantity by holding a metering cup without using it on a horizontal rest or without using any metering cups in cooking since the conventional metering cup is unable of accurately metering unless it is placed on the horizontal rest. <P>SOLUTION: In the measuring cup, the divisions of the metering cup are arranged at the center when the metering cup is viewed from the upper surface, thus displaying an average value in the amount of liquid without placing the measuring cup on a horizontal rest, and hence easily measuring the liquid in a slanted state while holding the measuring cup with hands. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a measuring cup that can be measured without placing it on a horizontal table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional measuring cups have been premised on being placed on a horizontal table for weighing.

[0003]

The problem to be solved by the invention is that it has been difficult to use a measuring cup on a horizontal table in the past, and it is possible to cook an incorrect amount while holding it by hand or without using the measuring cup. There was a case to do.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] By arranging the scale in the center when viewed from the upper surface of the measuring cup, the amount of liquid is displayed evenly even if it is not placed on a horizontal table, so that it can be held by hand. The most important feature is that the liquid can be measured.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The purpose of measuring a liquid while holding it by hand without using a horizontal base when measuring the liquid is as follows.
It was realized by adding a simple structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is an explanation of a first embodiment described in claim 1 or claim 2 of the present invention.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are explanations of the first embodiment described in claim 1 or claim 2. FIG. 3 shows a state in which liquid is actually contained, and the actual amount of liquid is the scale plate 1. 4 is shown at the intersection of the measuring point 2 and the liquid level 3. FIG. 4 shows the state in which the cup is not horizontal. Does not change, and the same applies when tilted in another direction in FIG.

FIG. 5 shows claims 1 or 3 and claim 4.
5 is an explanation of the second embodiment described in 1., in the case where the measuring cup lid 4 is a measuring cup, by attaching the scale plate 1 to the measuring cup lid 4, stirring and cleaning are facilitated, and the lid in FIG. By shortening it, it becomes a spout, and it becomes possible to pour liquid with the lid attached.

The third embodiment 3 in FIG. 6 is a simple embodiment in which bar-shaped scales 6 are arranged.

[0010]

As described above, since the measuring cup of the present invention can measure the average amount of the liquid surface while holding it by hand without placing it on a horizontal table, it takes time to cook. Can be shortened and accurate measurement can be performed.

Claims (4)

[Claims] 1. A measuring cup in which a scale is arranged in the center of the cup when viewed from above, so that the liquid can be measured while holding it by hand without placing it on a horizontal table. 2. The measuring cup according to claim 1, wherein the scale is arranged upward from the central portion of the bottom of the cup so that the liquid can be measured while holding it by hand without placing it on a horizontal table. 3. The measuring cup according to claim 1, wherein by arranging a scale downward from the central portion of the lid of the cup, it is possible to measure the liquid while holding it by hand without placing it on a horizontal table. 4. The measuring cup according to claim 1 or 3, wherein the lid of the cup is provided with a spout so that the liquid can be easily poured even with the lid.
