Description

  In the present invention, when a semi-solid substance (hereinafter referred to as a semi-solid substance) that is easily dissolved in hot water such as miso or sake lees is dissolved in hot water and cooked, the required amount of the semi-solid substance is measured from the semi-solid container. The present invention relates to a cooking utensil that is taken out and made into a form that is easily dissolved in hot water.

  Conventionally, there has been a ladle with a bowl-shaped bowl at the end of the handle as a cooking utensil that is squeezed out from the container in which miso is stored and melted in hot water. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

  In addition, there was a miso melter in which a bowl-shaped mesh-like container was provided at the bottom of a circular frame, and a cylindrical balance that also serves as a handle was provided on the frame. (For example, see Patent Document 2)

  In addition, a miso is loaded into a cylindrical main body provided with a plate having a small hole formed in one opening, and a predetermined amount is moved from the small hole into the hot water by moving by a predetermined dimension while being pressed by a piston. There was a technology to extrude miso in a line. (For example, see Patent Document 3)

Design Registration No. 1300416 (first page, reference perspective view) Utility Model Registration No. 3051953 (2nd page, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-026366 (page 3, FIG. 1)

According to Patent Document 1, in order to melt miso in hot water, add miso from the miso container with a ball and add a little hot water in the pan as it is. Do the work of melting.
Alternatively, a small chunk of miso sprinkled with a ladle is released into hot water, and the crust is crushed and melted at the bottom of the ladle.
The task of melting miso with chopsticks was done while looking for small chunks of miso in a bowl containing hot water with a thin chopstick tip, which had the disadvantage of being inefficient and time consuming.
Also, the process of crushing a small piece of miso while crushing it with the back bottom of the ladle is crushing while crushing it by pressing the lump of miso released into the hot water against the bottom of the pan with the back of the ladle, but it is still in the hot water It was not easy to find undissolved miso chunks that were not melted, and it was time consuming and annoying.
In addition, there is a drawback that the work is troublesome because other ingredients contained in the hot water are obstructive and it is difficult to crush the miso.
In addition, the amount of miso to be soaked with a ladle depends on the intuition of the worker, so variations are unavoidable every time, and the taste of miso soup is too dark or too light.
Also, miso containers marketed for home cooking are generally square and the corner arc is smaller than the arc of the outer shape of the ladle, so if you take out miso with the ladle from the miso container, the miso attached to the corner will remain Since it dries, there is a drawback that the flavor is impaired.
The remaining corner miso can be taken out with chopsticks or a teaspoon each time, but the work is troublesome.

According to Patent Document 2, a small amount of miso is squeezed out from a miso container using a spoon or a ladle and placed in a reed-shaped mesh container provided at the bottom of a circular frame, and the container is placed in hot water. After soaking, the miso in the container was pressed and melted with a spoon or ladle.
When the miso in the pressed portion is extruded linearly from the mesh at the bottom of the mesh-like container, the linear surface dissolves in hot water and loses its viscosity and gradually collapses and the entire linear melt dissolves in hot water.
However, the miso of the portion that was not pressed with the spoon or ladle is melted by being pressed and melted by being pressed against the bottom of the net several times at the bottom of the spoon or ladle, and melted by being pushed out into a line from the mesh There was a part, and there was an annoyance that it was necessary to confirm that the miso was melted and disappeared from the reticulated container by lifting the reticulated container from the hot water several times.
In addition, to determine the amount of miso required, the miso of the required amount is put into the container while measuring with a cylindrical scale attached to the frame, so the miso must be put into the container in several times. I must. And when it was charged more than the required amount, there was annoyance that it had to be returned to the miso container until the predetermined amount was reached.

According to Patent Document 3, a bag containing miso is previously loaded into a cylindrical main body, but when using various types of miso, the miso bag is taken out from the cylindrical main body to prevent miso mixing. There is a drawback in that it is necessary to wash off the attached miso and then load another miso bag, or to prepare as many cylindrical bodies as the number of types of miso to be used.
In addition, after use, miso remains on the surface of the board on which the miso is discharged and in the vicinity of the small holes, and there is a disadvantage that the attached miso dries and hardens over time.
In addition, since the vicinity of the discharge port is open, dust is attached and it is unsanitary, and miso that has become dry and stuck and loses its flavor has the disadvantage that it must be washed around the board from time to time. .
In addition, since the miso bag is loaded into the cylindrical body, it is troublesome to take out the bag that is empty and crushed in the back of the cylindrical body when the miso is gone.

  In view of the conventional drawbacks as described above, the present invention fills a cylinder with a semi-solid material such as miso and sake lees with a necessary amount easily without variation, and then presses it to form a string with a small cross section from the outer periphery of the cylinder. If it is discharged, the object is to provide a semi-solid discharger that melts and collapses when the string-like surface begins to melt, and sequentially melts to the string-like core in a short time.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cylindrical body in which at least one discharge port is formed on the circumference, a pressing plate that is slidably fitted to the inner periphery of the cylindrical body, and the pressing plate. A semi-solid discharger is constituted by the push shaft held in the cylinder.

  According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

In Claim 1, the cylindrical body which formed the filling port provided with the peripheral edge which can be closely_contact | adhered and obstruct | occluded in the flat part of the inner bottom of a cooking container, and slidingly fitting to the inner periphery of this cylindrical body A push plate, a push shaft that holds the push plate integrally and moves in the axial direction of the cylinder, and a semi-solid material is filled in the cylinder from the periphery to the push plate so that the periphery is the bottom of the cooking container. The cylinder that closes the filling port and closes the filling port and then moves the push shaft toward the filling port to form a semi-solid material pressed by the push plate into a small cross-section string shape and discharge it outside the cylinder. A semi-solid material discharge device is composed of one or more discharge ports that are not on the circumference of the body, so it is easy to dissolve in hot water such as miso and sake lees in the cylinder from the periphery to the push plate. The filling port is filled with (hereinafter referred to as semi-solid) and the periphery is brought into close contact with the flat portion of the bottom of the cooking container containing hot water. After occlusion, semisolid cylindrical body by moving the push rod into the filling port side is pressed against the push plate is discharged from the discharge port.
Therefore, since the semi-solid material discharged from the discharge port of the small cross section is formed in a string shape of the small cross section, when the surface of the string shape melts, the viscosity disappears and collapses to the core of the string shape in a short time. The effect that the troublesome operation | work which crushes the operation | work which crushes the small lump of a semi-solid substance, or crushes while searching for the small lump which remains without breaking, is acquired.

In addition, if the semi-solid material filled in the cylinder is discharged into the hot water and then the cylinder is rocked in the hot water, a small amount of semi-solid adhering to the inside and outside of the cylinder can be easily dissolved in the hot water and released. Therefore, to store after use, it can be stored clean by simply rinsing with water.
Therefore, even if there are many kinds of semi-solids to be used, if there is one semi-solid dispenser of the present invention, it can be cleaned simply by rinsing lightly with water. The effect that it can cook is acquired.

  Further, on the outer peripheral shape of the cylindrical body of the present invention, the whole or a part thereof is an arc shape, and the size of the circular arc at the peripheral edge of the filling port of the cylindrical body is the corner portion of a miso container commercially available for home cooking. Since it is equal to or less than the circular arc, the peripheral edge can contact all positions of the circular arc at the corner of the miso container, so if the peripheral edge is pressed against the circular arc at the corner, the miso that remains on the corner and adheres easily There is an advantage that it can be accommodated in a cylinder.

3. The cylindrical body having a filling port provided with the peripheral edge according to claim 2, wherein the cylindrical body from the peripheral edge of the filling port to the push plate is inserted into the cylindrical body of the filling port of the cylindrical body. The semi-solid material dispenser according to claim 1 is provided with a separating means for separating the semi-solid material filled in the cylindrical body from the lump of the semi-solid material at the peripheral position at the peripheral position of the filling port. ing.
Accordingly, when the semi-solid material filled in the cylinder from the filling port is separated from the semi-solid matter lump by the cutting means and then the cylinder is pulled up, the semi-solid matter in the cylinder is not pulled back into the semi-solid matter lump. Since it remains in the body, it is possible to obtain an effect that a necessary amount of semi-solid can be always taken out without variation.

4. The cylindrical body formed with a filling port having the peripheral edge according to claim 3, wherein a guide hole for holding the opening portion on the opposite side to the filling port of the cylindrical body and guiding the axial movement of the push shaft is provided. The semi-solid material dispenser according to claim 1 comprises a holding member and a locking means provided on the holding member for stopping or releasing the axial movement of the push shaft.
Accordingly, the push plate is moved to a position where the filling amount of the semi-solid material filled in the cylinder from the periphery of the filling port to the push plate becomes a desired filling amount, and the movement of the push shaft is locked by the locking means. For example, since the position of the push plate provided integrally with the push shaft is fixed, the push plate is not moved even if the semi-solid material filled from the filling port abuts against the push plate and applies pressure. The effect that the required amount of semi-solid can be filled without variation is obtained.
The filling amount of the semi-solid material is variable. However, if the push plate is repeatedly moved to the required filling amount position and the movement of the push shaft is locked by the locking means, the pressing plate starts from the periphery of the filling port. Since the volume in the cylinder is always the same, the same amount of semi-solid can be filled without variation even if the person who performs the work changes repeatedly.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a filling port 3 having a peripheral edge 9 that can be tightly closed and closed is formed at one end of a cylindrical body 1, and a discharge formed on the circumference of the cylindrical body 1. One or both of the outlet 2 and the discharge port 2a, and a push plate that slide-fits on the inner periphery of the cylinder 1 to retain the semi-solid material filled from the filling port 3 or press the filled semi-solid material 5 and the push shaft 6 that holds the push plate 5 integrally and moves or stops moving together with the push plate 5 in the axial direction of the cylindrical body 1 constitutes a main embodiment.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
In the explanation, miso is taken up on behalf of semi-solids for quick understanding.

In the first embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 1, a discharge port 2 is formed on the circumference of the cylinder 1, and one opening of the cylinder 1 has a filling port 3 having a peripheral edge 9 for filling miso. The peripheral edge 9 may be provided with a notch-like discharge port 2a.
Either one or both of the discharge port 2 and the discharge port 2a may be provided.
The other opening of the cylindrical body 1 is held by a holding member 7.
In the cylinder of the cylinder 1, there is provided a push plate 5 that is slidably fitted to the inner periphery of the cylinder 1 and has the same inner shape as the cylinder 1.

  Since the push shaft 6 that integrally holds the push plate 5 is guided by the guide hole 8 of the holding member 7, it can move in the axial direction of the cylinder 1 together with the push plate 5.

  A guide piece 11 is provided integrally with the cylinder 1 in the longitudinal direction at a position opposite to the inner circumference of the cylinder 1, a guide groove 10 is formed on the outer circumference of the push plate 5, and the guide piece 11 and the guide groove 10 are slid. Since it is movably engaged, the push plate 5 can move in the longitudinal direction but cannot move in the rotational direction.

FIG. 2 shows the periphery of the holding member 7 of FIG.
A plurality of grooves 12 are formed on the outer periphery of the push shaft 6 at equal intervals in the axial direction. The holding member 7 is provided with guide grooves 13, 13. A two-stage slit 15 is formed in the vicinity of the center of the stopper 14 that is guided by the guide grooves 13, 13 and slides, and the push shaft 6 is formed into the two-stage slit 15. It is inserted.
The two-stage slit 15 has two slit widths. When the wide slit 15a is at the position of the push shaft 6, the push shaft 6 can freely move in the axial direction, and the narrow slit 15b has the push shaft. When in the position 6, the slit enters the groove 12, and the movement of the push shaft 6 in the axial direction is restrained to constitute a locking means.

Here, a procedure for filling the cylinder 1 with a necessary amount of miso and discharging miso from either one or both of the discharge port 2 and the discharge port 2a will be described.
In FIG. 2, the stopper 14 is first slid so that the wide slit 15a is positioned on the push shaft 6 side so that the push shaft 6 can freely move in the axial direction.
Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the push shaft 6 is pulled up, the push plate 5 is pulled up from the filling port 3 to the upper side of the cylinder 1, and the miso that requires the volume in the cylinder 1 from the peripheral edge 9 to the push plate 5 is required. When the position of the push plate 5 is determined so that the volume of the push plate 5 becomes, the stopper 14 is slid in the opposite direction, the narrow slit 15b is engaged with the groove 12, and the movement of the push shaft 6 in the axial direction is stopped.

Next, the cylinder 1 is inserted into the miso lump accommodated in the miso container through the filling port 3, and the cylinder 1 from the peripheral edge 9 to the push plate 5 is filled with miso.
When the filling port 3 is inserted, the air in the cylinder 1 pushed by the miso escapes from the discharge port 2 or the gap between the sliding fitting part of the cylinder 1 and the push plate 5, so that the miso is sufficiently up to the surface of the push plate 5. Can be charged to.
When the tube 1 is further inserted into the miso lump after filling the miso, the force that the miso pushes up the push plate 5 acts, but the push shaft 6 holding the push plate 5 integrally stops moving in the axial direction. Therefore, the push plate 5 is not pushed up.
When the miso is further pushed in from the filling port 3, the miso in the cylinder 1 is pushed by the amount pushed and discharged from the discharge port 2 to return to the miso mass.
Therefore, the set amount of miso can always be filled stably.
Once the tube 1 is filled with miso, the push shaft 6 is unlocked when the stopper 14 is slid to the wide slit 15a side, so that the push shaft 6 can freely move in the axial direction. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the cylindrical body 1 is submerged in hot water put in the pot 21 with the filling port 3 facing down, and the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 is brought into close contact with the flat portion of the bottom of the pot. When the push shaft 6 is moved toward the bottom of the pan after closing the mouth 3, the filled miso is pressed by the push plate 5, and either one or both of the discharge port 2, the discharge port 2 a and the string of the cross section of each discharge port It is formed into a shaped miso R and continuously discharged.
When the discharge port 2 a is formed at the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3, the filled miso is discharged from the discharge port 2 a when pressed by the push plate 5 even when the filling port 3 is closed.
Accordingly, if the discharge port 2 and the discharge port 2a are formed in a small cross section, the miso R discharged in a string shape with a small cross section loses its viscosity when the surface melts in the hot water and collapses to form a string core. Since it melts in a short time, there is an advantage that the crushing operation of breaking down the small chunks of miso or the cumbersome work of further crushing and melting while searching for the small pieces of undisintegrated residue is unnecessary.

If there is at least one discharge port 2 or 2a, miso discharged in the shape of a string with a small cross section melts in a short time, but in order to shorten the discharge time, a large number of discharge ports 2 and 2a are provided. Better.
If the discharge time is shortened, the time for the total amount of miso filled to dissolve in hot water is also shortened.

When the filling of the miso is completed, the miso remains slightly attached to the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder 1 and the push plate 5, but the surface of the miso attached while the cylinder 1 is in the hot water begins to melt. The viscosity disappears from the water and dissolves.
Even if there is miso still adhering to the cylinder 1, if the hot water is stirred in the cylinder 1 to make the whole taste uniform in the pot 21, the taste becomes uniform and the adhering miso Since the flow hits, it is melted and released from the cylinder 1.
Moreover, even if miso remains attached to the pressing surface of the miso, which is the lower surface of the push plate 5, the push shaft 6 is moved from the lowermost end while the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 is in close contact with the flat part of the bottom of the pan 21. If it goes up and down several times, a hot water flow is produced between the bottom of the pan and the push plate 5, so that the attached miso loses its viscosity and melts and releases.

FIG. 17 is a view in which the cylinder 1 is inserted into a miso lump accommodated in a square miso container 36 commercially available for home cooking.
The miso container 36 has four corners 37 in an arc shape. However, when the miso is taken out from the miso container 36 as shown in FIG. Since it is larger than the circular arc, the miso adhering to the corner portion 37 cannot be crawled and remains.
However, on the outer peripheral shape of the cylindrical body 1 of the present invention, the whole or a part thereof has an arc shape, and the circular arc of the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 of the cylindrical body 1 is equal to or less than the circular arc of the corner portion 37 of the miso container 36. Since it is sized, the peripheral edge 9 can be contacted at any position of the arc of the corner portion 37 as shown in FIG. 17, so if the peripheral edge 9 is brought into contact with the arc of the corner portion 37 and pushed down, it remains on the corner portion and adheres to the miso Can be easily accommodated in the cylindrical body 1.

In addition, the cylindrical body 1 is not limited to a cylinder in cross-sectional shape, and a part of the circumference is formed in a flat part as shown in FIG. 8- (1), or a circle as shown in FIG. 8- (2). Even if the flat portions are formed at the opposite positions on the circumference, or even if the corners are formed in a square shape having an arc shape as shown in FIG. 8- (3), the same effect as described above can be obtained.
If there is a flat part, for example, when the amount of miso in the miso container decreases, the flat part of the end 9 is brought into contact with the flat part of the inner wall of the miso container and pushed down, so that the miso remaining on the flat part can be easily removed. There is an advantage that it can be accommodated in the body 1.
If the cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical body 1 is changed, the outer shape of the push plate 5 is changed to a shape corresponding to this.

The discharge port 2 may be a discharge port 2b formed in a thin slit shape as shown in FIG.
Since the filled miso is pushed out in the form of a thin string when pressed by the push plate 5, the viscosity disappears when the surface melts in the hot water like the above-mentioned string-shaped miso R, and collapses to form a string. The effect that the core melts in a short time is obtained.

Next, different embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the description of the different embodiments of the present invention, the same components as those of the first embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

In the second embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 4, the main difference from the first embodiment of the present invention is that a round bar-like shape is formed at a position opposite to the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 of the cylindrical body 1. The semi-solid discharger is configured by fixing the both ends of the thin cut piece 4 and providing the cutting means.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the bottom surface of the semisolid discharger according to the present invention, and FIG. 4- (1) shows that both ends of the cut piece 4 are fixed to the guide piece 11 provided integrally with the cylinder 1. FIG. 4- (2) shows a state in which the guide piece 11 is not provided and both ends of the cut piece 4 are directly fixed to the peripheral edge 9. FIG.

When the cylinder 1 is inserted into the miso mass of the miso container from the filling port 3 and filled with the miso, and then the cylinder 1 is pulled up, a part of the miso filled due to the viscosity of the miso is pulled by the miso mass and the cylinder 1 The required filling amount that is pulled back from the inside may not be obtained.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the cut piece 4 is provided at the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 at a right angle to the axial direction of the cylinder 1, so that the cylinder 1 is inserted into the miso lump from the filling port 3. If the tube 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow PP after the bean paste is filled with the chopped piece 4, the cut piece 4 rotates with the tube 1 and cuts the miso at the position of the peripheral edge 9. Therefore, when the tube 1 is pulled up Since the filled miso is pulled up without being pulled by the miso lump, the same required amount of miso can be taken out repeatedly.

In the third embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 5, the main difference from the second embodiment of the present invention is that the thin plate-like shape is located at the opposite position of the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 of the cylindrical body 1. The semi-solid material dispenser is configured by fixing both ends of the cut piece 4a and providing the cutting means.
Therefore, if the cylinder 1 is inserted into the miso mass of the miso container from the filling port 3 and the bean paste is filled in the cylinder 1 and then the cylinder 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow PP, the cut piece 4a becomes the cylinder. Since the miso is rotated together with 1 and cut into the miso at the position of the peripheral edge 9, the miso filled when the cylinder 1 is pulled up is pulled up without being pulled by the miso lump, so that it is the same as in the second embodiment of the present invention. The following effects can be obtained.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 6, the main difference from the third embodiment of the present invention is that the four end portions of a flat plate-shaped thin cut piece 4b formed in a cross shape. Is fixed to four locations on the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 to provide a separating means, thereby forming a semi-solid discharger.
Therefore, when the filling port 3 is inserted into the miso mass of the miso container and the tube 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow PP after filling the miso, the cut piece 4b rotates with the tube 1 and is miso at the position of the peripheral edge 9. Can be separated.
Therefore, the same effects as those of the second embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

In the second or third embodiment of the present invention, the cut piece 4 or the cut piece 4a can complete the carving of the miso by rotating the cylinder 1 180 degrees, but in the fourth embodiment, the cut piece 4b is Since it is formed in a cross shape, the miso can be cut and completed by rotating the cylinder 1 by 90 degrees.
If the angle at which the cylindrical body 1 is turned is small, there is an advantage that the separation work becomes easy.

In the fifth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 9, the main difference from the first embodiment of the present invention is that the cylindrical body 1 replaces the holding member 7 in the first embodiment of the present invention. One of the hollow members is fitted and fixed in the opening opposite to the filling port 3 to hold the cylindrical body 1 and discharge a semi-solid by a holding member 7a formed with a guide hole 8a for guiding the push shaft 6 on the other side. Make up the vessel.
A guide hole 25 of the stopper 14 passes through the holding member 7 a at a right angle to the axial direction so that the stopper 14 can slide in the guide hole 25.
As in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the push shaft 6 is inserted through the two-stage slit 15 of the stopper 14 and the wide slit 15a side is at the position of the push shaft 6, the push shaft 6 Can move freely in the axial direction, but if the narrow slit 15b side comes to the position of the push shaft 6, the narrow slit 15b engages with the groove 12, and the axial movement of the push shaft 6 is restricted. Since the locking means of the push shaft 6 is configured, the same operational effects as in the first embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

Further, in FIG. 9, a cutting piece 4 is fixed to the end of the guide piece 11 provided integrally with the cylinder 1 on the filling port 3 side, and after filling the miso, the cylinder 1 is rotated and cut. When the work is carried out, if the grip 16 at the upper end of the push shaft 6 or the holding member 7a is held and rotated, the cylinder 1 is rotated and the cut piece 4 is also rotated. Can be carved.
That is, since the cylinder 1 is fitted and fixed to the holding member 7a, when the holding member 7a is held and turned, the cylinder 1 is rotated, so that the cut piece 4 is also rotated to separate the miso. .
Further, since the guide groove 10 of the push plate 5 fixed integrally with the push shaft 6 is engaged with the guide piece 11, the push shaft 6 is held with the grip 16 fixed to the upper end portion of the push shaft 6. When it is turned, the push plate 5 rotates and the cylinder 1 can also rotate. Therefore, the cut piece 4 also rotates to separate the miso.

  The groove 22 formed on the lower surface of the push plate 5 is an escape groove for preventing the cut plate 4 from coming into contact with the lower surface of the push plate 5 when the miso is discharged.

In the sixth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10, the main difference from the second embodiment of the present invention is that the cut piece 4 arranged at a right angle to the axis at the position of the peripheral edge 9 has both ends facing upward. The arm portion 17 is extended at a right angle to the arm portion 17, and the extending end portion of the arm portion 17 is bent inward at a right angle to form a latching portion 18.
A holding groove 19 for fitting and holding the upper portion of the arm portion 17 is formed on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 1 fitting portion of the holding member 7a, and a holding hole 20 for fitting and holding the latching portion 18 is formed.
After the upper portion of the arm portion 17 and the latching portion 18 are inserted, when the cylindrical body 1 is inserted into the holding member 7a, the upper portion of the arm portion 17 is suppressed from coming out of the holding groove 19 and the holding hole 20, so It is fixed at the position 9 and constitutes the dividing means.
Since the guide groove 10 is formed on the outer periphery of the push plate 5 and the arm portion 17 and the guide groove 10 are slidably engaged, the push plate 5 can move in the axial direction but cannot rotate.
Accordingly, when the holding member 7a is held and turned by hand, the arm portion 17 held in the holding groove 19 also rotates, so that the cut piece 4 also rotates.
Further, when the push shaft 6 is rotated, the arm portion 17 engaged with the guide groove 10 of the push plate 5 fixed integrally with the push shaft 6 is rotated, so that the cut piece 4 is also rotated.
Accordingly, the same effect as that of the second embodiment of the present invention can be obtained also in the dividing means in the sixth embodiment of the present invention.

In the seventh embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 11, the main difference from the fifth embodiment of the present invention is that a sawtooth-shaped locking groove 26 is formed on the outer diameter of the push shaft 6. Yes.
A stopper 27 that slides in a direction perpendicular to the push shaft 6 is formed with a locking claw 28 that meshes with the locking groove 26, and the stopper 27 is biased by a spring 29, so that the locking claw 28 is a groove of the locking groove 26. Since it enters and engages, the locking means of the push shaft 6 is configured by locking the axial movement of the push shaft 6.

When setting the amount of miso filled, first, the stopper 27 is pushed in the direction of compressing the spring 29 to disengage the locking claw 28 and the locking groove 26 so that the push shaft 6 can be moved freely.
Next, if the pushing force of the stopper 27 is released after the pushing plate 5 is moved upward to a position where the required filling amount is obtained, the latching claw 28 is again engaged with the latching groove 26 by the biasing force of the spring 29. By stopping the movement of the push shaft 6, the push plate 5 is also stopped.
Next, if the cylinder 1 is inserted into the miso mass from the filling port 3, the miso can be filled into the cylinder 1 from the peripheral edge 9 to the push plate 5.
As shown in FIG. 11, of the groove surfaces of the locking groove 26, the groove surface on the push plate 5 side is perpendicular to the axis of the push shaft 6, and the other groove surface is an inclined surface. The angle of the toe is adjusted so as to make surface contact with each groove surface of the locking groove 26.
Accordingly, when the tube 1 is filled with miso after further filling, the miso pushes up the push shaft 6 together with the push plate 5, but pushes the push shaft 6 of the lock groove 26 and the right angle surfaces of the lock claws 28. Since the force acts, it does not come off, so that the push plate 5 is not moved to the set position.
The miso that is further pushed in from the filling port 3 is discharged from the discharge port 2 and returns to the miso lump.
Therefore, it is possible to always fill the set amount of miso without variation.

  When the filled miso is discharged in the pan 21, the peripheral edge 9 of the filling port 3 is brought into close contact with the flat portion of the bottom of the pan, the filling port 3 is closed, the push shaft 6 is pushed and the miso is pressed by the push plate 5. Since the pressing force of the push shaft 6 acts on the inclined surfaces of the locking groove 26 and the locking claw 28, the locking claw 28 overcomes the urging force of the spring 29 and is pushed back so that the locking claw 28 is the groove of the locking groove 26. Therefore, the push shaft 6 can be freely moved downward without pushing the stopper 27 and releasing the locking claw 28 and the locking groove 26.

FIG. 12 is a side view of FIG. 11, in which a slit 30 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder 1, and a scale line 23 and a scale number 24 are engraved on the side of the slit 30.
If the ridgeline of the outer periphery of the push plate 5 that moves in the cylinder 1 is aligned with the scale line, the amount of miso to be filled can be set.
The scale numbers representing the amount of miso may be represented by weight or volume, but in FIG. 12, they are represented by the number of miso soup (for example, 1 cup or 2 cups).

In the eighth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 13, the main difference from the seventh embodiment of the present invention is that the push shaft 6 is replaced with the stopper 27 of the seventh embodiment of the present invention. There is provided a stopper 27a formed of a flat plate material that slides at a right angle.
An insertion hole 31 of the push shaft 6 is formed in the vicinity of the center of the stopper 27a, and a locking claw 28a that engages with the locking groove 26 of the push shaft 6 is formed on one side of the insertion hole 31 to engage the push shaft 6. It constitutes stopping means.
The stopper 27a is urged by a spring 29a, and the locking claw 28a enters and engages with the groove of the locking groove 26, thereby locking the axial movement of the push shaft 6.
As in the sixth embodiment of the present invention, the locking claw 28a has a groove surface on the pressing plate 5 side of the groove surface of the locking groove 26 that is perpendicular to the axis of the pressing shaft 6, and the other groove surface is It is an inclined surface, and the angle of the claw tip of the locking claw 28a is adjusted so as to come into surface contact with each groove surface of the locking groove 26.
Therefore, the same effects as those of the seventh embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

FIG. 14 shows that the spring 29b is provided outside the holding member 7a in place of the spring 29a provided inside the holding member 7a in the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The stopper 27a is biased in the same manner as in the embodiment.
Therefore, the same effects as those of the seventh embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

The ninth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 15 is different from the seventh embodiment of the present invention mainly in that a lever 33 pivotally supported by a pin 32 provided on the gripping member 7a is rotated. Since the locking claw 34 is formed at the tip of the push shaft 6 and the lever 33 is biased by the spring 35, the locking claw 34 is engaged with the saw-toothed locking groove 26 formed in the push shaft 6. By doing so, a locking means for the push shaft 6 is configured.
When deciding the position of the push plate 5 to the required amount of miso filling, push the end of the lever 33 upward to remove the locking claw 34 from the locking groove 26 until the required filling amount is reached. If the lever 33 is released after the push plate 5 is moved upward and the latching claw 34 is engaged with the latch groove 26 by the urging force of the spring 35, the push shaft 6 is latched and the push plate 5 is also moved. Can be fixed.
Therefore, the same effects as those of the seventh embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

In the tenth embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 16, the main difference from the fifth embodiment of the present invention is that it slides in a direction perpendicular to the push shaft 6 not provided with the locking groove 12 on the outer periphery. A holding plate 41 having a hole 40 with which the push shaft 6 slides is provided. A screw portion 42 that protrudes to the outside of the gripping member 7 a is formed on one side of the holding plate 41, and a nut that is screwed into the screw portion 42. 43 constitutes a locking means for the push shaft 6.
When the nut 43 is tightened, the holding plate 41 slides to the screw portion 42 side, and a force pulling the push shaft 6 in the lateral direction acts, so that the push shaft 6 is in contact with the guide hole 8b of the push shaft 6 formed in the gripping member 7a. The movement is fixed by the frictional resistance and the frictional resistance between the push shaft 6 and the pressing plate 41, and when the nut 43 is loosened, the push shaft 6 can move freely.

When filling miso, the push shaft 5 is moved upward from the set position by loosening the nut 43 and moving the push plate 5 up to a position where the required filling amount is reached and then tightening the nut 43. Therefore, even when the push plate 5 is pushed by the miso when filling the miso, the set filling amount does not fluctuate.
When pushing out the filled miso, if the nut 43 is loosened, the friction resistance between the push shaft 6 and the holding plate 41 and the friction resistance between the push shaft 6 and the guide hole 8b are eliminated, and the push shaft 6 can move freely. The shaft 6 can be pushed toward the filling port 3 side.
Therefore, the same effect as that of the fifth embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

In each description of the embodiment of the present invention, miso is taken up as a representative of a semi-solid, but is not limited to miso, but semi-solid such as sake koji, wheat flour, seafood kneaded products, or kneaded products other than dairy products and foods. The present invention can also be applied to a case where an object is continuously discharged to a small cross section.
Miso and sake lees are extruded and melted, but can also be applied for the purpose of extrusion and shaping like a string of noodles.

  In the present invention, when a semi-solid material that is easily dissolved in hot water such as miso or sake lees is cooked by dissolving in hot water, the required amount of the semi-solid is filled from the semi-solid container, and is easily dissolved in hot water. It is used in industries that manufacture cooking utensils that are discharged in the form.
