Description

  The present invention relates to a folding egg that can be handled by being put in a cooking pan, and relates to a self-supporting egg ball that can stand independently in and outside the cooking pan.

Traditionally called "Otama", which means soup eggplant, which is mainly used for soup such as miso soup, soup, curry, stew, etc., hot water such as steam rises from the cooking pan. The handle is formed long so that the tip is located at a distance of about 30 cm from the bottom. For this reason, there has been a basic idea of shortening the storage by some mechanical processing.
In Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, the shape of the egg candy used for leisure and outdoor activities is a simple operation, it can be stored in a minimum space when stored, and the handle lengthened when used to sow miso soup, etc. It has disclosed the egg ball that makes it easy to use.
However, the egg balls of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are formed by overlapping two flat handles at the center of the handle and connecting them with thumbscrews or similar screws, and loosening or tightening the screws. Even if it is used for leisure or outdoor activities, it is not easy to use with the mechanical parts that loosen or tighten the screws as a kitchen utensil in everyday life. It has not been.

Moreover, in patent document 3, when the ball is put in the pan without impairing the function of the ball which is currently used, the pan lid can be formed without slipping into the pan, and the handle is bent by the hinge mechanism. Therefore, an egg ball that can be stored in a refrigerator or the like is disclosed.
In other words, when using as a normal tamago eggplant, the moving ring is lifted to the handle side, and when the hook joined to the hinge pin portion of the handle is directly superimposed on the hinge pin receiver fixed to the handle, the moving ring is moved to the hinge pin side. The hook is inserted into the moving ring fitting portion of the hook, and the straight portion of the handle and the handle are fixed. If you want to bend the Otama lion, hook the handle's curved part and hook on the edge of the pan, cover it, lift the moving ring to the handle side, tilt the hinge pin holder to the front, and cover the pan or cover knob It is to be placed on top.
However, in Patent Document 3, since the curved portion of the handle and the hook are hooked on the edge of the pan, if the pan lid is used, steam leaks from the gap, leading to attenuation of the broth and loss of heat energy, which is not practical.

Therefore, in Patent Document 4, a notch is provided in the outer peripheral portion of the pan lid of the cooking pan, a sealing rubber formed in the notch is incorporated, and a shaft portion of the handle of the egg ball is inserted into the crack of the sealing rubber. This makes it possible to easily and reliably close all the pan lids of the cooking pan even when the eggplant is placed in the cooking pan. And the technology that can prevent the intrusion of rainwater.
