JP2009115768A - One level measuring cup by one hand - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring cup capable of carrying out one level measuring operation of grain material by one hand. <P>SOLUTION: The measuring cup consists of a measuring cup body (1) with a cylindrical shape having a bottom and a one level cutting plate (20). The measuring cup body (1) has a handle (3) of a semi-cylindrical shape which is extending downward from a support part (2). A hole 1 (5) and a hole 2 (6) as an axis hole are penetrated and mounted at the support part (2) of the center of the handle (3) and the center of a flange (7) mounted on the handle (3), respectively. The cutting plate (20) is fixed horizontally at the standing state on a dial-like disk (22). An axis (21) is prepared in the vertical direction on the center of the disk. The cutting plate (20) is fixed vertically to the axis (21). The cutting plate part is integrated by mounting into the axis hole of the measuring cup body. Then, by moving the disk (22) by a thumb, the cutting plate (20) can be moved in rotation and reciprocation. A heap of grain material and powder material taken by the cup can be treated with one level, therefore, it is measurable. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a measuring cup that can be measured while being scooped with one hand when measuring a granular material or a powder material.

  Conventionally, for example, when measuring rice, etc., using a cylindrical measuring cup with a bottom, put rice in a heap in a measuring cup, and then clean it with a stick, chopsticks, tableware with horizontal parts, or fingers. Or weighed appropriately. Both hands were used for these measurements. For this reason, every time the rice is weighed, there is a problem that a troublesome work of separately preparing a scraping member or the like occurs or the weighing is not accurate. For this reason, when the amount of rice exceeds the prescribed amount, the rice can be cooked hard, and when the amount is low, the rice can be cooked softly.

  The following measuring cup is known, which is a measuring cup composed of a bottomed cylindrical measuring cup body and a lid, and the lid is provided with an engaging portion, and the connecting portion is The lid is formed thin or narrow, and the lid is rotatably provided on the measuring cup body (Patent Document 1).

Further, in a rice measuring cup comprising a bottomed cylindrical cup body, an opening at the upper end of the cup body is used as a slope, and a plurality of ribs extending in a direction perpendicular to the slope of the slope is provided at the opening. A rice measuring cup that can be measured by spilling when placed on the floor is known (Patent Document 2).

The inventions of the respective patent documents have the following drawbacks.
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-077178, the scraped part is a lid and is attached to the cup body, and the lid can move up and down, so that the lid can be put on. To move to the cup edge, you have to hold the cup and lid with both hands and adjust the position.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-340651 is a cup shape that cannot be completely stored in the shape of a general rice cooker, and is used for business use in which the shape of a container can be determined. Also, this could not be measured unless the rice was scooped and then placed on the floor or leveled to create a spilling condition.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

A measuring cup consisting of a bottomed cylindrical measuring cup body and a scraped plate member. The measuring cup body has a semi-cylindrical handle extending downward from the support part, and the support part and handle at the center of the handle. A shaft hole is provided in the center of each flange. The scraping plate is fixed horizontally while standing on a dial-shaped disk, and an axis is provided at a right angle in the center of the disk. The scraping plate is fixed at a right angle to the axis.
By attaching the above-mentioned chipping plate parts to the shaft hole of the main body cup, the chipping plate can be moved to the left and right in a reciprocating manner by moving the disk with the thumb. Thus, the cup is a one-handed measuring cup characterized by being able to smash the granular material or powder material that has been piled up when scooped.

Since the cup body has a scraping plate, it is easy to scoop because it has a handle.
In addition, it is easy because the grain material or powder material can be worn by simply moving the thumb while holding the cup with one hand.

The shape of the present invention will be described. (A) A support portion (2) with a rib (4) is provided horizontally from the circumferential edge of a measuring cup body (1) having a bottomed cylindrical shape. At the end of the support portion (2), there is provided a handle (3) that gets on and down, and is semi-cylindrical. A disk-shaped flange (7) is provided horizontally on the side wall (10) of the inner curved surface (9). A hole 1 (5) is provided in the support portion (2), which is the center of the handle (3), and a hole 2 (6) is provided in the flange (7) so as to penetrate therethrough. On the plane of the support portion (2) of the handle, a convex portion (8) is provided at the center, which serves as a stopper for preventing rotation of the scraped plate member.
(B) A dial-shaped disk (22) having a convex recess (23) on the circumferential side is provided at the rear end of the scraping plate (20) having a linear lower edge. A shaft (21) is provided at the center of the disk (22). This scraping plate (20) is fixed horizontally at a right angle to the shaft (21) and upright from the disk (22). A bifurcated burr (26) is provided at the end of the shaft (21) to form a fitting part (25). The shaft (21) with the fitting portion (25) is pushed into and attached to the holes 1 (5) and 2 (6) in the two through-hole portions of the cup body to be integrated with the cup. And there is a burr portion (26) to prevent it from coming off. The present invention has the above configuration.

When using the present invention, the projecting recess (23) of the dial-shaped disk (22) of the scraping plate part is pivoted on the thumb to pivot left and right, and the scraping plate (20) pivots horizontally. Can be moved back and forth. It is weighed by scraping a pile of granulated or powdered material.
An arc-shaped groove (24) is attached to the back surface of the disc (22) of the ground plate. This groove part (24) is a part which regulates and stops the rotation angle of the left and right of the grinding plate (20) in order to insert and fit the convex part (11).
At this time, even when holding the cup with one hand, the dial-shaped disk (22) can be moved with the thumb, so that it is possible to carry out weighing with one hand.

Claims (1)

  It is a measuring cup consisting of a bottomed cylindrical measuring cup body and a scraped plate member. The measuring cup body has a handle and a shaft hole in the center of the handle. Then, a scraping member provided with a shaft and a fitting part is attached to the shaft hole to be integrated, and then the thumb-shaped disk is moved with the thumb to reciprocate the scraping plate left and right, thereby scooping with the cup. A one-handed measuring cup characterized by being able to grind up a pile of granules or powder.
