Description

    The present invention relates to a container for attaching a scale line to an inner bottom.

    Up to now, various methods have been proposed to put water into a pot or an inner pot of a rice cooker without using a measuring cup or the like for convenience. For example, Shinshin No. 3018881 that marks the inner surface of the pan, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-205994, Shinshin No. 3117596 displayed with a symbol mark, and rice cooking by attaching an inclined part to the outer surface side of the inner pan of the rice cooker Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-262815 and the like tried to obtain a predetermined amount of water by setting the inner pot for dexterity at a predetermined angle.

Many of the inventions invented so far have a horizontal scale on the inner side of the container, and it has been assumed that the placing surface is horizontal. Actually, the horizontal state is not always obtained, and the scale becomes inaccurate when there is an inclination. Therefore, the scale of the horizontal line had to be displayed short and it was difficult to match the amount of liquid (hereinafter described as water). Also, this method has the trouble of reinserting if the amount of water is small, throwing it away if it is large, and repeating it several times to make a good scale line. There was also a risk that the part where the pan bottom was placed would become dirty.
Further, in the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-262815, the amount of water that can be measured is limited to several types, and furthermore, the method is complicated and not practical.

    Steel and stainless steel pans are difficult to mark. (At present, even horizontal scales are almost never found in stores.) Some users do not like pans that are calibrated for reasons of appearance.

-A container with a scale line for obtaining a desired amount of liquid while discarding the liquid is marked on the inner bottom, the inner side, or both.
・ Place the container on the bottom of the inner wall, and also have a flat plate with graduation lines to obtain the desired amount of liquid while discarding the liquid.
・ The container is a pan, and the container is any one of (1) to (2).

    It is easier to start cooking with a single effort by tilting the container (hereinafter referred to as a pan) and throwing away the water, but stopping throwing away at the time of the graduation line and obtaining the desired amount of water. It is also more convenient than using a horizontal scale pan or a measuring cup because the line can be lengthened and the amount of water can be added accurately.

    1-4 show an example of a one-handed pan having a diameter of 18 cm. Moreover, although the spout of a pot is shown by FIGS. 1-3, this is not necessarily required.

In the present invention, after adding a large amount of water from the water supply, the desired amount of water is obtained by tilting the pot and discarding the water while stopping at a desired scale line. FIG. 3 is a diagram in the middle of the operation.

Although it is description about FIG. 1, a scale line is attached to the pan bottom for every 100 cc unit, and the number which shows the amount of water is given. Since the graduation line has been drawn long to the side of the pan, the amount of water can be adjusted accurately. In addition, a scale of 50 cc is shortly placed near the inner side between 100 cc units. Furthermore, if necessary, a graduation of 10 cc units can be made with a line shorter than 50 cc units. (See Fig. 4 for the scale of 10cc unit)

    Where the amount of water is such that the scale line cannot be drawn for a long time (for example, the portions of 800 cc and 900 cc in FIG. 1), the scale can be scaled by extending the line inward.

In addition to display in cc units and ml units, display in cup units is also possible. (See FIG. 1) Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, a scale line is provided on the inner side of the pan for the amount of water exceeding the indication at the bottom of the pan. In this case as well, the required amount of water is adjusted with a scale line while discarding the water. The length of the scale line may be as long as necessary to adjust the amount of water.

FIG. 4 is a diagram of a thin flat plate with graduation lines of the container shown in paragraph [0006] (2) of the present application. This is mainly intended to be used together with a steel or stainless steel pan. When you put water, lay this flat plate on the pan, put the hanging tool 7 (which has a simple spring structure) on the edge of the pan to obtain the desired amount of water, then pull up the flat plate and return it to the draining container . (In the case of water, the flat plate does not get dirty and does not need to be washed.)
This flat plate does not necessarily need to be made of metal, and any material can be used as long as it can easily be graduated and has no toxicity. However, it must be heavier than water.

    Because it is a convenient pot that saves cooking time, you can add value to the pot.

    This method of obtaining the required amount of water while throwing away the water by tilting the pan is particularly easy to use and optimal for pans that use a fixed amount of water, such as ramen pans. Moreover, it can be applied to containers in general, and can also be applied to an inner pot of a rice cooker.
