Description

  The present invention relates to a turner mainly used for cooking at home.

There is a turner that includes a handle and a blade, and the blade is bent (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Design Registration No. 1039909

  When using a turner in which the blade is bent, the meat can be smoothly moved to the neck when trying to place a large piece of meat that cannot be placed on the rake of the blade by shifting it to the neck of the blade. It is an object to provide a turner that can be displaced.

  When cooking a beef texture using a turner with a bent blade, place the meat on the rake part of the blade and turn it over, or place the baked meat on the rake part and transfer it to the dish. When the meat is small and most of the meat can be placed on the rake, there is no problem in turning the meat over or carrying it.

However, when the meat is large and protrudes from the rake portion, the meat cannot be placed on the rake portion, or the meat placed on the rake portion is slipped off. Therefore, before the meat is lifted, the rake portion of the blade inserted under the meat is pushed further, and the meat is shifted so that the meat rests on the neck portion of the blade.

  In the case of a turner in which the blade is bent, since the neck of the blade is inclined so as to rise with respect to the rake, the meat must be raised along the surface of the neck in order to shift the meat to the neck. When the meat is thick or stiff, when the blade reaches the bent part of the blade by inserting the blade under the meat and trying to push it further, the meat is in the neck of the blade due to the weight and hardness of the meat. It does not shift so as to rise smoothly up to the neck. As described above, the bent portion of the blade of the conventional turner has been an obstacle to smoothly shifting the meat to the neck. Therefore, the present invention intends to provide a turner that can smoothly shift foods such as meat to the neck.

  Claim 1 of the present invention is a turner having a handle and a blade, wherein the blade is bent at a bent portion extending in a direction transverse to the length direction of the turner, and an end side portion of the blade is more than the bent portion. The scooping portion, the handle side portion of the bent portion is the neck portion, the blade scooping up the food surface is the blade surface, and the blade is bent, inside the bent portion, that is, on the blade surface side It is the structure in which the connection surface which shortens and continues a part of rake part surface and a part of neck part surface adjacent to it through is provided.

A second aspect of the present invention is a configuration in which a plurality of connecting surfaces are provided and elements in which the connecting surfaces are provided at intervals are added to the first aspect.

A third aspect of the present invention is a configuration in which an element in which the interval between adjacent coupling surfaces is larger than the width of the coupling surface in the interval direction is added to the second aspect.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, an element in which the number of connecting surfaces corresponding to the number of any of 4 to 8 is added to any one of the second or third aspects.

Claim 5 is an element in which the connecting surface is a flat surface, and the angle formed by the connecting surface and the rake surface and the angle formed by the connecting surface and the neck surface are both larger than the angle formed by the rake surface and the neck surface at the bent portion. Is a configuration added to any one of claims 1 to 4.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, the blade is bent at a bent portion extending in a direction crossing the length direction of the turner, the end side portion of the blade is a scoop portion, and the handle side portion of the blade is a neck portion. The surface of the blade that scoops up food is the surface of the blade, and the blade is bent, and the part of the surface of the rake that passes through the inside of the bent portion, that is, the surface side of the blade, and the adjacent neck A connecting surface that shortens and continues a part of the surface is provided. Since the connecting surface has such a structure, for example, when cooking beefsteak with a meat larger than the rake portion, the blade is inserted under the meat to try to push it further before the meat reaches the bent portion of the blade. And the meat hits the connecting surface. As described above, the connecting surface has a portion of the rake portion surface and a portion of the neck portion surface adjacent to the rake portion continuous through the inner side of the bent portion, that is, the surface side of the blade. Therefore, the meat that has reached the connecting surface is lifted by the connecting surface without hitting the bent portion at the back of the connecting surface, and the raised meat is smoothly raised and displaced along the neck surface that is a surface continuous with the connecting surface. It goes on. By shifting the large meat to the neck, it is possible to easily lift the meat that is difficult to lift with the scoop portion alone and turn it over or transfer it to a plate. The present invention is not only capable of smoothly and easily lifting large meat by shifting it to the neck, but also when placing a plurality of meat smaller than the rake on the blade at once using the neck. The meat of the part can be smoothly shifted to the neck. Furthermore, the same effect as meat can be obtained not only when cooking meat but also when cooking other foods such as fish and eggs.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a plurality of connection surfaces are provided, and the connection surfaces are provided at intervals. Therefore, since a plurality of people support the meat more firmly than when there is a single connecting surface, the meat can be smoothly shifted to the surface of the neck.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the interval between adjacent connecting surfaces is larger than the width of the connecting surfaces in the interval direction. Therefore, since the width of the connecting surface is small, the area that contacts the meat is also small. Thereby, the frictional force between the meat and the connecting surface can be reduced, and the meat can be shifted more smoothly.

In the fourth aspect of the present invention, the number of connecting surfaces is the same as the number of any of 4-8. The presence of these numbers of connecting surfaces can prevent part of the meat from hitting the bent portion.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the connecting surface is a flat surface, and the angle formed between the connecting surface and the rake surface and the angle formed between the connecting surface and the neck surface are both larger than the angle formed between the rake surface and the neck surface at the bent portion. If the connecting surface is a flat surface, a bent portion is formed at the boundary between the connecting surface and the rake portion surface, and a bent portion is also formed at the boundary between the connecting surface and the neck portion surface. However, these bent portions are larger than the angle of the boundary between the rake surface and the neck surface. Therefore, even if the bent portion is formed by the connecting surface being flat, the angle is large, so that the meat can smoothly pass the bent portion.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The turner 1 includes a handle 2 and a blade 3. The handle 2 is made of synthetic resin, but may be made of other materials such as wood. The blade 3 is made of stainless steel, but may be other materials such as synthetic resin.

  The blade 3 is bent at the first bent portion 4, and includes a scoop portion 5 that is an end portion side portion of the first bent portion 4 and a neck portion 6 that is a handle 2 side portion with the first bent portion 4 as a boundary. At the portion where the blade 3 is bent, a part of the surface of the rake portion 5 and a part of the surface of the neck portion 6 adjacent thereto are shortened through the inside of the first bent portion 4, that is, through the surface side of the blade 3. 6 connecting surfaces 7 are provided.

Of course, the number of connecting surfaces 7 is not limited to six. The width of the connecting surface 7, that is, the length measured in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the turner 1 is about 2 mm, and a length of 1 to 6 mm is preferable. Moreover, the length between the center of the connection surface 7 and the center of the adjacent connection surface 7, ie, the pitch of the connection surface 7, is about 10 mm, and it is preferable that it is 5-15 mm. The pitch of the connecting surface 7 is preferably not less than 2 times the width of the connecting surface 7 and not more than 10 times. Further, the maximum height from the first bent portion 4 to the connecting surface 7 is about 0.5 mm, preferably 0.4 to 2.0 mm, and further 0.3 times the thickness of the rake portion 5. It is preferable that it is 2 times or less above. The width of the rake portion 5 is about 60 mm, and the length of the rake portion 5, that is, the distance from the first bent portion 4 to the end of the rake portion 5 is about 93 mm. The length of the neck 6 is about 65 mm, and the length of the handle 2 is about 120 mm. Further, the thickness of the blade 3 is about 0.5 mm, and therefore the thickness of the rake portion 5 and the neck portion 6 is 0.5 mm. The present invention is not limited to these numerical values. As described above, when the length of the rake portion 5 is set to 93 mm, for example, when the length of the meat to be baked exceeds 140 mm, the meat is raked when the meat is placed on the rake portion 5. There is a risk of sliding off the part 5. Therefore, it is necessary to shift the meat up to the top of the neck 6 and turn the meat upside down, or to transfer the meat to a plate.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rake part 5 is planar. Moreover, as shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7, the cross section of the neck part 6 is formed in U shape. This is because the width of the neck portion 6 is narrow so that the strength is increased. The widths of the side surface portions 10, 10 of the neck portion 6 constituting the U-shape increase as the handle 2 is approached. This is because the width of the neck portion 6 becomes narrower as the neck portion 6 approaches the handle 2, and the strength is maintained correspondingly. Moreover, it is possible to have the turner 1 by putting a finger on the side surface portions 10, 10, and thus having the turner 1 is suitable for fine work.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting surface 7 connects the surface of the scooping portion 5 and the surface of the neck portion 6 with a straight line, and the surface of the connecting surface 7 is horizontal as shown in FIG. A second bent portion 8 is formed at the boundary between the rake portion 5 and the connecting surface 7, and a third bent portion 9 is formed at the boundary between the connecting surface 7 and the neck portion 6. As described above, the connecting surface 7 is a surface that shortens and continues a part of the surface of the rake part 5 and a part of the surface of the neck part 6 adjacent thereto, so that the second bent part 8 and the third bent part are connected. The angle of the portion 9 is larger than the angle of the first bent portion 4. Therefore, when the meat being cooked shifts toward the neck portion 6, it can move smoothly because it passes through the surface of the connecting surface 7 because there is less resistance due to the bending angle than when it passes through the first bending portion 4.

The angle a of the first bent portion 4 is about 158 degrees, and the angle b of the second bent portion 8 and the angle c of the third bent portion 9 are both about 169 degrees. The distance between the second bent portion 8 and the third bent portion 9 is about 6 mm, and preferably 4 to 15 mm. The present invention is not limited to these numerical values. Further, the angles of the second bent portion 8 and the third bent portion 9 may be different. Rather, when the angle of the second bent portion 8 is larger than the angle of the third bent portion 9, when the meat is displaced toward the neck portion 6, the angle of the second bent portion 8 that strikes first is large, so that the meat smoothly moves to the neck portion. 6 surface rises. In the embodiment, the triangle surrounded by the first bent portion 4, the second bent portion 8, and the third bent portion 9 is an isosceles triangle having the first bent portion 4 as an apex, but may not be an isosceles triangle. Good. The second bent portion 8 and the third bent portion 9 can be formed by pressing a metal flat plate simultaneously with the first bent portion 4 from the back side to the front side of the blade 3. At that time, since the connecting surface 7 is also formed naturally, the blade 3 can be manufactured easily. When the material of the blade 3 is a synthetic resin, the blade of the present invention can be formed in one step by injection molding. Alternatively, the connecting surface 7 may be formed separately from the blade 3 and fixed to the blade 3.

  In addition, this invention can take a various aspect based on the structure mentioned above. For example, the connecting surfaces 7 may not include the same width but may include connecting surfaces having different widths. Moreover, you may combine the thing from which the width and length of the connection surface 7 and the height from the bending part 4 differ. The connecting surface 7 may not be linear between the second bent portion 8 and the third bent portion 9 but may be formed in an arc shape inside the first bent portion 4. Even if comprised in this way, meat can shift | deviate toward the neck part 6 more smoothly rather than passing the 1st bending part 4. FIG. Moreover, you may form so that the cross section which cut | disconnected the connection part 7 with the line | wire of the direction of the 1st bending part 4 may make a U shape, without making the connection surface 7 horizontal. If formed in this way, the contact surface is reduced and the frictional resistance is reduced as compared with the connection surface 7 being horizontal. Moreover, since the scooping part 5 of the present invention has a structure suitable for transferring cooked meat or the like to a dish, it can also be used as an appliance for transferring food to a dish or the like other than cooking meat, such as a cake server. it can.

The present invention is configured as described above. For example, when meat is to be grilled with a turner, the length of the meat to be grilled is longer than that of the rake portion 5, so that the meat may be placed on the rake portion. When it falls or it is difficult to place it from the beginning, it is necessary to shift the meat onto the neck 6 and place it. In such a case, the meat can be smoothly shifted onto the neck 6 simply by pushing the rake portion 5 of the present invention under the meat, and the meat can be reliably placed on the blade. Also, when placing a plurality of small meats, some of the meats can be smoothly shifted to the neck 6.
