JP2011005188A - Sponge capable of washing groove of fork - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that a side face of a groove of a fork used in meal is difficult to be cleaned by a general dish sponge, and a portion of the groove of the fork is left, in many cases, which has a cut trace of a stripe pattern in a manufacturing process, and is blackened and is apt to serve as a hotbed of a fungus bacterium.SOLUTION: The general dish sponge 6 has cuts of several centimeters at intervals equal to those of the fork 5, the fork is inserted thereinto, and is moved longitudinally and vertically, and the side surface of the groove of the fork is directly and easily cleaned thereby.

Description

  The present invention relates to a dishwashing sponge often used in a kitchen or the like.

There are several types of sponges for washing cups and dishes, depending on the application. Use soft materials so as not to damage the tableware, use hard materials so that gas stoves can be cleaned, etc., and have a rounded structure that makes it easy to clean the inside of the cup Has been done.

Patent Document 1 discloses a method that can change the shape of the sponge itself in order to wash various dishes.

  The side of the groove of the fork is difficult to clean because it cannot be directly touched even if it is rubbed with a sponge from the front. For this reason, looking through the groove of the fork from an angle, there were problems such as dirt remaining, blackening, and a hotbed of mold and fungi.

  The present invention solves the above problem by making four or more centimeter-long cuts into which a fork can be directly inserted into a sponge. Incisions are made so that four or five cuts penetrate through the sponge at the same interval as a general fork claw.

  Sponge cuts can be substituted by round holes with the same spacing as the fork.

  By using the sponge of the present invention, it is possible to directly clean the side surface of the groove of the fork, which has been difficult to clean with the sponge. As a result, the fork can be cleaned more than before, the growth of germs can be suppressed, and the possibility of causing food poisoning can be reduced.

It is the figure which showed the external appearance of the sponge which gave this invention to the sponge of the two-layer structure currently generally sold widely. (A) is the figure which cut | incised the soft side of a sponge. (B) is the figure which cut | incised the hard surface. The front cut and the back cut are connected and penetrated. The figure which actually cleans the groove | channel of a fork using the sponge which gave this invention process. (A) is a figure which shows a mode that the fork is actually inserted and moved. (B) Other forks with different numbers of nails that can be cleaned with this sponge. The figure which shows the side part of the groove | channel of the fork which the sponge of this invention enables cleaning. The figure which shows the cleaning method in the case of cleaning the large fork designed wider than the space | interval of a general nail | claw using the sponge of this invention. The example of the construction method of the sponge of this invention. The figure which shows the case where not a notch but only a small round hole is made. (A) shows a hole drilled on the soft side. (B) shows a vacant hole on the hard material side. (C) shows a state in which the groove of the fork is actually cleaned using the hole. The construction example of the sponge of this invention. An example of construction when there are 5 nails and an example that can be used to clean a fork with a narrow nail spacing such as for cakes. (A) is an example in which five cuts are made. (B) shows having penetrated to the back side of (a).

  Cut into the sponge body at approximately the same interval as the fork nails. The cut is about a few centimeters and penetrates from the front to the back of the sponge. Cut 4 or more if necessary according to the number of claws on the fork.

  Drill holes in the sponge body at approximately the same distance as the fork nails. Depending on the number of claws on the fork, make 4 holes or 5 or more if necessary.

  FIG. 1 shows the appearance of the sponge of the present invention. The sponge is processed with reference to the two-layer structure that is generally widely used, but it is the same for almost all sponges that are popular today, such as a one-layer sponge and a three-layer sponge. It is possible to make a cut. These cuts penetrate from the top to the bottom, and cuts are made at almost the same intervals as the fork claws. Most common forks have up to four claws. Therefore, even in the case of the present invention, basically the specifications of most forks can be covered with four cuts, but there are very few forks with five or more claws, so in some cases there are five forks. Make the above cuts. There are also forks for cakes, etc., where the gap between the claws is narrow. In that case, it is possible to cope with this by preparing a narrow notch in another place on the sponge.

  FIG. 2A shows a state where the fork is actually cleaned using the sponge of the present invention. The fork is inserted into the cut of the sponge, the fork is moved up and down, back and forth, and the sponge touches the groove side of the fork for cleaning. FIG. 2B shows forks having different specifications that can be cleaned by the sponge of the present invention. The number of nails varies depending on the use, such as for confectionery, fruit, dinner, etc., but there are many approximate nail intervals that can be cleaned using the sponge of the present invention.

  FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the groove of the fork viewed from an oblique direction. The side surface of the fork groove is often not polished or mirror-finished, and in most cases, the cut scar remains as it is. This surface cannot be directly touched by cleaning with a general sponge, and leftovers are left on the surface of the groove, and it tends to darken or become a hotbed of germs. The sponge of the present invention can be cleaned by directly touching the side surface of the groove of the fork.

  FIG. 4 shows an operation method for cleaning a wide, slightly larger fork. Most of the general forks have claws arranged at approximate intervals, but there are also wide forks depending on the application and in some cases. In that case, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to clean even a large fork by inserting it diagonally into the sponge.

  FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in the case where construction is performed with a hole formed in a sponge. It is assumed that holes are drilled at the same interval as a general fork and penetrate the sponge. The sponge can be cleaned by directly inserting the nail of the fork into the sponge and pulling it up and down.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in the case of dealing with a fork having 5 nails, which is very rare, and an example of construction corresponding to cleaning of a fork having a narrow claw interval, such as for cakes.

  Sponges used for dishwashing are popular in many households as an important tool indispensable for dishwashing. On the other hand, forks are also used for various meals and are an important tool that is popular in most homes. However, even if we wanted to clean the fork using this sponge, the conventional sponge could not wash the side surfaces between the grooves directly. In addition, the groove of this groove is often left with striped scratches generated in the process of manufacturing the fork, and this part is soiled, causing mold, blackening, and sometimes bacteria It can be a hotbed of Since the present invention makes it possible to clean the side surfaces between the grooves of the fork, it leads to improvement in hygiene and, in some cases, prevention of food poisoning. In addition, the sale of sponges that have the advantage of this may have a significant industrial effect.
