Description

  The present invention relates to a holder used when temporarily placing a cooking utensil.

  When cooking and eating, a wide variety of utensils such as pots, kettles, frying pans, steamers, dishes such as dishes, bowls, bowls, spoons, forks, knives, kitchen knives, chopsticks, rice scoops, eggplants, tongs, etc. Is used, but if other work must be done in parallel, the tool may need to be temporarily placed in use.

For example, when taking a lid to put ingredients in a pot that is being boiled, the temporary placement of the lid is simply placed on the cooking table, so that the lid and cooking table become dirty or the attached steam moisture or juice There were problems such as sagging and burns due to heat, and being difficult to handle when re-covering. Alternatively, the insulators, tongs, etc. are mostly simply placed on a plate, but are unstable to temporarily place due to the shape itself, and further, the same complaints as described above remain. In addition, chopsticks and the like are easy to roll.
In view of these conventional drawbacks and dissatisfaction points, for example, there are proposals of the invention as described in the following document.
JP-A-8-224179 JP-A-9-65990

  However, the invention of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is a configuration in which a clip is fixed to the handle portion of the pan, and the chopsticks and the insulator are held on the clip. Because there is, there is a danger that the weight balance is lost or the pan is tilted by catching hands. Moreover, since the invention of the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 can simply place the tongues stably, there is a problem that the juice is dripped.

  Therefore, the present invention is a holder invented to solve this conventional dissatisfaction point and meet the demand, and can stably and temporarily put a lid, a chopstick, an insulator, a tongue, etc. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a structure in which a pair of slits are formed in a block made of a synthetic resin that can be elastically deformed substantially in parallel, and one of the slits is scuffed, and can be fitted into an edge such as an insulator or a pan lid In addition, the other slit can be freely fitted into the edge of a plate, bowl or the like.

  In this case, the block body has a spherical shape.

  Since the holder of the present invention is configured as described above, if the lower slit is fitted to the edge of a plate, bowl, etc., and the upper slit is padded to the edge of the insulator, pan lid, etc. Can be temporarily placed on a plate or the like in a stable posture.

  In this position, the lid and the cooking table are not soiled, and the adhering steam moisture and juice can be put on the plate, and there is no risk of burns. It is easy to handle because it can be removed.

  Further, if a pair of holders of the present invention are fitted into the edges of a bowl or the like and chopsticks or the like are sandwiched between both holders, the chopsticks and the like can be temporarily placed and held.

  Furthermore, if the holder is inserted into the back of the kitchen knife, when cutting a hard object, the palm will not be damaged even if the hand is pressed.

  In the spherical block body 1 made of a relatively hard synthetic resin that can be elastically deformed, the upper one slit 2 is cut to a radial line substantially on the diameter line, and the lower part is cut in parallel. A plurality of protrusions 4 for preventing slipping are provided on the upper surface of the other slit 3. The protrusions 4 may be provided on the lower surface of the slit 3 as required, and may be provided on either the upper or lower surface of the slit 2 or on both surfaces.

  Note that the lower end portion of the block body 1 is cut off to form a flat portion 5 so that the stand posture of the spherical block body 1 alone can be stabilized. Further, the upper slit 2 has a configuration in which the opening end is wide and narrows toward the back in order to make it easy to fit the edge of the pan lid or the insulator and to ensure the holding.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B show a configuration for holding the insulator 6. FIG. 3A is a perspective view, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view. The lower slit 3 is fitted on the edge of the receiving pan 7, and the upper slit 2 is inserted into the insulator 6. It is fitted into the edge of the heel part 8. Here, the insulator 6 can be stably held in a standing posture, and even if juice or the like adheres to the buttocks 8 immediately after use, it can be put on the saucer 7, so that the surroundings are not soiled. Hygiene of the lower surface of the part 8 can also be maintained.

  Further, when reusing, it is only necessary to remove the collar portion 8 from the block body 1, and there is no risk of burns and the like since the collar portion 8 is not touched directly like the fitting.

  FIG. 4 shows a form in which the pan lid 9 is held. The lower slit 3 is fitted into the edge of the receiving pan 7, and the upper slit 2 is fitted into the edge of the pan lid 9. Here, the lid 9 can be stably held in a face-down position, and even if steam moisture or juice adheres to the inner surface of the lid 9 immediately after use, it can be put on the saucer 7, so that the surroundings are soiled. Furthermore, hygiene of the inner surface of the lid 9 can be maintained.

  Then, if the spare block body 1 is fitted on the opposite side of the tray 7, the opposite side of the lid 9 is supported from below, so that the lid 9 itself has a slightly inclined posture, as shown in the drawing. If the lid 9 is smaller than the tray 9, the steam moisture and the like of the lid 9 can be poured into the tray 7. Further, when reusing, the lid 9 can be simply removed from the block body 1 and, as in the case of fitting, the lid 9 is not touched directly, so there is no risk of burns or the like.

  FIG. 5 shows a form in which the chopsticks 11 are held upright in the bowl 10. The lower slits 3 of the pair of block bodies 1 are fitted in the edges of the bowl 10, and the chopsticks 11 are inserted between the block bodies 1. Can be held stably with the chopsticks 11 upright, and even if juice or the like adheres to the tip of the chopsticks 11 immediately after use, the surroundings are not soiled and are hygienic, Handling during use is also simple because it is simply unpinching.

  FIG. 6 shows a form in which the block body 1 is fitted to the back of the kitchen knife 12, and the palm can be protected by operating the palm against the block body 1 when cutting a hard object.

  In addition, although the block body 1 is substantially spherical shape in each Example, it is not limited to this, The slits 2 and 3 are cut | disconnected so that the edge of the collar part 8 or the saucer 9 can fit reliably. If it can be formed, for example, a cube or the like may be used. In the case of a spherical shape, the slit may be a head that looks like a mouth, and an eye may be drawn or hair may be attached at an appropriate position.

It is a perspective view of the holder of this invention. It is sectional drawing of the holder of this invention. The form which hold | maintains a lever is shown, (a) is a perspective view, (b) is sectional drawing. It is a perspective view which shows the form which hold | maintains the lid | cover of a pan. It is a perspective view which shows the form holding a chopstick. It is a perspective view in the case of using for a kitchen knife.
