Description

  The present invention is a container used when transferring a necessary amount of fluid material to a second container (another container) using gravity, a stand for the container, and a container such as an existing measuring cup. It is related with the hooking instrument used.

  Conventionally, a measuring cup is used as an instrument used when a predetermined amount of seasoning is transferred to a second container such as a pan. The measuring cup is a container with a scale used for measuring the seasoning necessary for cooking.

  When using seasonings such as soy sauce or oil in cooking, instead of suddenly adding the seasonings to a pan etc. in an appropriate amount, first divide the required amount of seasoning into a measuring cup, and then season from the measuring cup to the pan. By transferring the ingredients, anyone can reproduce the same taste anytime. Therefore, measuring cups are widely used in home kitchens and restaurant kitchens.

Among seasonings, high-viscosity liquid seasonings such as oil, milk, soy sauce, sauce, mayonnaise, due to its drastic viscosity, even if the measuring cup is inverted, all the liquids can be removed from the measuring cup instantly. Absent. In other words, in order to remove the entire amount of such viscous seasoning from the measuring cup, hold the measuring cup containing the seasoning upside down on the pan while holding it in your hand, and the seasoning is under its own weight. It is necessary to wait for a while until it completely leaves.
However, in a kitchen (especially a restaurant kitchen), it is necessary to carry out a lot of preparation work within a limited time. Therefore, the work of holding the measuring cup upside down and holding it by hand (the work of transferring liquid seasonings such as sauce and mayonnaise from the measuring cup to the pan) takes time and wastes a limited amount of work time.

In addition, some cooks shake the measuring cup containing liquid seasoning such as sauce and mayonnaise on the pan and save the working time. You are leaving.
However, the operation of swinging down the measuring cup on the pan is cumbersome and time-consuming.
In addition, in the case of liquid seasonings such as mayonnaise, even if the measuring cup is shaken down many times, the viscosity remains strong, and most of it remains in the measuring cup. If most of the seasoning does not move to the pan and remains in the measuring cup, the same taste cannot be reproduced. In other words, the taste of the dish varies depending on how the seasoning is removed from the measuring cup, so that the same taste cannot always be reproduced.
Further, since the seasoning remaining in the cup without leaving the measuring cup is washed away without being used, there is a problem that the seasoning is wasted.
In addition, if a large amount of mayonnaise or sauce adheres in the measuring cup, it takes time to clean the measuring cup and the cleaning efficiency is deteriorated.
In addition, as described above, when the seasoning is removed by swinging down the measuring cup, the liquid seasoning may scatter to the surroundings at the moment, and there is a possibility that the kitchen or kitchen will be wasted.

  In view of the above-described problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to transfer a necessary amount of a fluid material (such as a liquid seasoning) to a second container such as a pan without taking time, An object of the present invention is to provide a container, a stand, and a hooking device for transferring a flowable material that make it possible to use food as much as possible without leaving it in the container.

  The above object relates to, for example, the first container used when transferring a necessary amount of the flowable material from the first container to the second container, the container body for containing the flowable material, This is achieved by a container for moving a fluid material having a hook portion for hooking on a second container with the container body turned upside down. (However, in the embodiments described later, those that freely rotate while hooked on the second container are excluded.)

  In the container for transferring a fluid material, it is preferable that the hook portion is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the container body and functions as a handle of the container.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the said container for fluidity | liquidity movement further has an attitude | position stabilization part for stabilizing the attitude | position of this container main body in the state which hooked the said container main body on the 2nd container.

  Moreover, in the container for transferring a fluid material, it is preferable that the hook portion includes a clamping unit for clamping the second container in a state where the container body is hooked on the second container.

  Further, in the container for moving a fluid material, it is preferable that the hook portion is configured to be deformable according to the size of the second container that hooks the container body.

  Further, in the container for transferring a fluid material, it is preferable that the hook portion includes an adjusting means for adjusting a height position of the container body in a state where the container body is hooked on the second container. .

  Moreover, in the said container for fluidity material movement, it is preferable that the groove | channel is formed in the inner peripheral surface side of the said container main body.

  Further, in the container for moving a fluid material, it is preferable that the container body is formed in an elliptical cross section.

  Further, the above-mentioned object is a stand that is used by hooking a container for moving fluid material upside down, and has an engaging portion that can be engaged with the hook portion of the container for fluid material movement. Achieved by: It is preferable that the stand is configured to be stretchable in the vertical direction and / or the horizontal direction.

  The above-mentioned object is an instrument that is used after being attached to a container for transferring a flowable material for transferring a necessary amount of the flowable material to the second container. This is achieved by a hook device having a hook portion for hooking to the container and a fixing portion for fixing the hook portion to the container.

According to the container for moving a flowable material according to the present invention, when a necessary amount of the flowable material (for example, liquid seasoning) is transferred to the second container, the material is separated from the container by the action of gravity, The container can be efficiently transferred from the container to the second container.
Specifically, the following excellent effects are achieved.

A container (first container) for transferring a flowable material according to the present invention is hooked on a container main body for containing the flowable material, and a second container (for example, a pan) with the container main body turned upside down. And a hooking part for.
By providing such a hook portion, the container is placed in the second container in a state where the opening (pour spout) of the container faces downward and the container is positioned inside the second container. Can be hooked to the edge. That is, the container can be hung on the second container while the opening of the container for moving the fluid material is directed toward the inner bottom of the second container.
Therefore, a fluid material such as oil, milk, soy sauce, sauce, mayonnaise can be detached from the container by gravity simply by hooking and hanging the container on the edge of the second container. From the container hung upside down on the edge of the second container, a fluid material such as sauce or mayonnaise flows down into the second container due to its own weight. Therefore, if the container is left in a state of being hooked on the second container for a while, most of the fluid material in the container is separated from the container by gravity and moves to the inside of the second container. . There is no need to hold the container by hand. There is also no need to scrape the material out of the container with a spoon or other instrument.
Therefore, according to the container for transferring the flowable material according to the present invention, it is not necessary to keep the container upside down like a conventional measuring cup or the like. Because it does not take time to remove the fluid material from the container (because it does not require complicated work such as holding the container upside down or swinging it down), it is limited in the kitchen or kitchen. Work time can be used effectively.
In addition, if the container is left on the second container for a while and left for a while, most of the fluid material in the container will be separated from the container by gravity. Since almost no material remains and almost all of the material can be reliably transferred to the second container, accurate weighing is always possible. Also, almost all of the accurately weighed material can be transferred to the second container side (almost no residue), so that anyone can reproduce the same taste at any time.
In addition, almost all of the fluid material separated in the container is transferred to the second container and can be used up with almost no residue, so that no food is wasted.
Further, since the fluid material is hardly left in the container, the cleaning efficiency after use of the container is improved.
In addition, since the conventional work such as shaking the container down on the second container is unnecessary, the fluid material is not scattered around, and there is no possibility that the kitchen or kitchen is wasted. Is achieved.

  Further, in the container according to the present invention, the hooking portion is configured to function also as a handle (handle) of the container. As a result, the container can be easily grasped, and the container can be easily carried.

  In addition, the container according to the present invention includes a posture stabilizing unit for stabilizing the posture of the container main body while the container main body is hooked on the second container. Thereby, in the state which hung the container on the 2nd container, the glare etc. of this container are prevented and the attitude | position from which a fluid material detach | leaves reliably can be hold | maintained.

  Moreover, the container which concerns on this invention WHEREIN: A hook part comprises the clamp means for clamping the said 2nd container in the state which hooked the container main body on the 2nd container. Thereby, since the hook part of a container can clamp the edge part of a 2nd container, it becomes possible to further stabilize the attitude | position when hanging on a 2nd container.

  Moreover, the container which concerns on this invention WHEREIN: The hook part is comprised so that deformation | transformation is possible according to the size of the 2nd container which hooks a container main body. Thereby, it becomes possible to hook a container with respect to the 2nd container of various sizes and shapes.

Moreover, the container which concerns on this invention WHEREIN: The hook part comprises the adjustment means for adjusting the height position of the said container main body in the state which hooked the container main body to the 2nd container.
By providing such an adjusting means, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the ease of holding the handle when the hooking portion functions as a handle.
Further, the height position of the container can be adjusted so that the edge of the container (the lower end of the container in the hooked state) does not touch the liquid level in the second container. Therefore, since the container does not touch the cooking being cooked, the container or cooking being cooked is not soiled.

Moreover, in the container which concerns on this invention, the groove | channel (recessed part) is formed in the inner peripheral surface side of the container main body. This groove functions as a guide groove for guiding the flowable material in the separation direction (discharge direction) in a state where the container is turned upside down and hooked on the second container.
By forming such a guide groove, discharge of the fluid material from the container is promoted, so that the fluid material is smoothly separated by the action of gravity.
In addition, since the fluid material is collected and discharged in the groove and the vicinity thereof, the amount of the fluid material that continues to adhere to the inner peripheral surface of the container is reduced, and the container after use can be easily cleaned.
The same effect is achieved when the cross-sectional shape of the container body is an elliptical cross-section.

  The stand according to the present invention is a stand that is used by hooking the container upside down, and includes an engaging portion that can be engaged with the hooking portion of the container. Even if there is a second container in which the container cannot be hooked, by using such a stand together, it is possible to save time and labor when removing the fluid material from the container.

  Moreover, the stand according to the present invention is configured to be extendable and contractable in the vertical direction and / or the horizontal direction. Thereby, when using a container, it can respond to the 2nd container of various sizes.

  The hook device according to the present invention includes a hook portion and a fixing portion for fixing the hook portion to an existing container or the like. By providing such a hooking device, the same function as the container according to the present invention can be retrofitted to an existing measuring cup or the like, so that an existing measuring cup in a kitchen or kitchen can be used effectively.

Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Composition of cup-shaped container)
The cup-shaped container 1 (measuring cup) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed from a heat-resistant resin material or a metal material such as copper. In the case of using a resin material, it is possible to use a transparent or translucent resin.

  The cup-shaped container 1 can be used as a measuring cup for separating a predetermined amount of seasonings and the like, and can also be used as a food transfer device when transferring the separated seasonings and the like to a pan.

This cup-shaped container 1 is mainly composed of
-Container body 3 for containing liquid seasonings such as sauce and mayonnaise,
-It has the hook part 5 (hook) for hooking on the edge part of a pan in the state which turned this container main body 3 upside down.

The bottomed container body 3 is formed in a substantially circular cross section or a substantially elliptical cross section as shown in FIG.
An opening 31 (pour spout) for adding and removing liquid seasonings;
A guiding groove 33 for guiding the liquid seasoning in the discharging direction when discharging from the container body 3;
A scale 35 for causing the container body 3 to function as a measuring cup;
-It has the attitude | position stabilization part 37 for stabilizing the attitude | position of this container in the state which hooked the cup-shaped container 1 on the pan.

  When the liquid seasoning is put into the container body 3, the liquid seasoning is poured into the container from the opening with the opening 31 facing upward as shown in FIGS. Further, when discharging the liquid seasoning from the container body 3, the cup-shaped container 1 is turned upside down. At that time, the liquid seasoning in the container main body 3 mainly flows down through the guide groove 33 due to its own weight, is discharged from the opening 31 (pour spout), and is added to the pot.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, the guide groove 33 is formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the container body 3 and at a position facing the hook portion 5 with the central axis of the container body 3 interposed therebetween. ing. In this embodiment, the guide groove 33 is formed in a curved concave shape, but the shape of the guide groove is not particularly limited.

  The scale 35 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3. When the container body 3 is formed of a metal material or the like, the scale 35 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface side of the container body 3.

  The posture stabilizing part 37 is composed of two protrusions fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3 on the upper end side. The posture stabilizing portion 37 composed of the pair of protrusions is provided so as to protrude at a position facing the upper end side of the hook portion 5. Specific functions and operations of the posture stabilization unit 37 will be described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hook portion 5 has a substantially F-shaped side view (a side shape such that the F-shape is turned upside down) from the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3. It is fixed so as to overhang.

  The hook portion 5 is also configured to function as a handle (handle), and integrally includes a substantially L-shaped hook portion main body 51 and a stay 53. The end portions of the hook portion main body 51 and the stay 53 are fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the container main body 3 as shown in FIGS.

  On the upper end side of the L-shaped hook portion main body 51, a curved portion 55 that protrudes toward the container main body 3 in an overhang shape is formed. By forming such a curved portion 55, the cup-shaped container 1 is easily caught on the edge of the pan 9 (edge of the type protruding outward) in the use state illustrated in FIG.

  A gap 2 for inserting (inserting) the edge of the pot is formed between the end of the curved portion 55 and the container body 3. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, by inserting the edge (edge part) of the pan 9 into the gap 2, the hook portion 5 functions as a hook, and the cup-shaped container 1 is turned upside down to the edge of the pan 9. Can be hung.

  The upper end side of the hook portion 5 faces the posture stabilizing portion 37 that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3.

  In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, the container body 3 is formed in a substantially circular cross section, and the guide groove 33 is formed on the inner peripheral surface side thereof. However, the shape of the container body of the cup-shaped container is not necessarily limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the container body 3 is formed in a substantially elliptical cross section by omitting the guide groove. Is also possible.

(How to discharge liquid seasoning from a cup-shaped container)
4 and 5 illustrate how to use the cup-shaped container 1 having the above-described configuration.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pan 9 contains dishes being cooked (for example, liquid dishes such as curry and soup).
After the required amount of liquid seasoning to be added to the cooking during cooking is separated into the cup-shaped container 1, the cup-shaped container 1 is then hooked on the edge of the pot inside the pot 9 as shown in FIG. Hanging.

  At that time, the cup-shaped container 1 is turned upside down (that is, with the opening 31 side being the spout facing down and the bottom side facing up), the hook 5 and the container body 3 Insert the edge of the pot 9 into the gap 2 between them. Thereby, the hook part 5 functions as a hook, and the state where the cup-shaped container 1 is hung on the edge inside the pot 9 is maintained in the upside down state. That is, the cup-like container 1 is held in a state of being upside down and is not freely rotated. Since the hook portion 5 is hooked on the edge of the pan 9 in a detachable state, it can be freely removed at any time even when the cup-like container 1 is hung on the edge of the pan 9.

  When the curvature of the pan 9 and the curvature of the container body 3 are different, the container body comes into point contact with the inner peripheral surface of the pot at one point, so the posture when the cup-shaped container 1 is hung. May become unstable. Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), a posture stabilizing portion 37 that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3 is provided so as to face the hook portion 5. As described above, the posture stabilizing portion 37 is composed of two protrusions protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3. By providing such a posture stabilizing portion 37 composed of two protrusions, the posture stabilizing portion 37 (two protrusions) on the cup-shaped container side always comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface on the pan side at two points (see FIG. 5 (b)), regardless of the difference in curvature between the pan 9 and the container body 3, the posture when the cup-shaped container 1 is hung is stable and does not become glazed.

Moreover, according to the cup-shaped container 1 having the above-described characteristics, the cup-shaped container 1 is positioned inside the pot 9 with the opening 31 (spout) of the cup-shaped container facing downward. The cup-shaped container can be hooked on the edge of the pan 9. That is, the cup-shaped container 1 can be hung on the pot while the opening 31 of the cup-shaped container 1 is directed to the inner bottom of the pot 9.
Therefore, the cup-like container 1 containing the liquid seasoning such as oil, milk, soy sauce, sauce, mayonnaise is simply hooked on the edge of the pan 9 and hung, and the liquid seasoning is separated from the cup-like container by gravity. Can do. As shown in FIG. 4, liquid seasonings such as sauce and mayonnaise flow from the cup-like container 1 suspended on the edge of the pan 9 upside down into the pan due to its own weight. Accordingly, if the cup-shaped container 1 is left hooked inside the pot 9 and left for a while, most of the liquid seasoning in the cup-shaped container 1 is detached from the container due to gravity. Move inward. At that time, it is not necessary to hold the cup-shaped container 1 by hand. Moreover, it is not necessary to scrape the material out of the cup-shaped container using an instrument such as a spoon.
Therefore, according to the cup-shaped container of the present invention, there is no need to keep the cup-shaped container upside down and hold it by hand as in the prior art (it can be left for a while with the cup-shaped container hooked). Therefore, it does not take much time to remove the liquid seasoning from the cup-shaped container (because it does not require complicated work such as holding the cup-shaped container upside down or swinging it down), and is limited in the kitchen or kitchen. It is possible to make effective use of the work time saved.
Also, if you leave the cup-shaped container in the pan and leave it for a while, most of the liquid seasoning in the cup-shaped container will be released from the container by gravity, so it is necessary to pre-weigh in the cup-shaped container Almost all of the liquid seasoning can be reliably transferred to the pan, leaving almost no amount of liquid seasoning, so accurate weighing is always possible. Also, almost all of the accurately weighed liquid seasoning can be transferred to the pan side (with almost no residue), so that anyone can reproduce the same taste at any time.
Moreover, since the liquid seasoning separated by the cup-shaped container can be used up almost without leaving, a foodstuff is not wasted.
In addition, since the liquid seasoning is hardly left in the cup-shaped container, cleaning after use of the cup-shaped container becomes easy.
Moreover, since the operation | work which shakes down a cup-shaped container on a pan like the conventional is unnecessary, the effect that a liquid seasoning does not scatter to circumference | surroundings and the possibility of making a kitchen and a kitchen uselessly dirty is lose | eliminated.

Moreover, in the cup-shaped container 1 according to the present invention, the guide groove 33 (concave portion) is formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the container body 3. The guide groove 33 functions as a guide means for guiding the liquid seasoning in the separation direction (discharge direction) in a state where the cup-shaped container 1 is turned upside down and hooked on the pan 9.
By forming such a guide groove 33, discharge of the liquid seasoning from the cup-shaped container 1 is promoted, so that the liquid seasoning is smoothly detached.
Further, since the liquid seasoning gathers and is discharged in the guide groove 33 and the vicinity thereof, the amount of the liquid seasoning that continues to adhere to the inner peripheral surface of the container body 3 is reduced, and the cup-shaped container after use is washed. Becomes easier.
Note that, as shown in FIG. 3B, the same effect can be achieved when the container body 3 has an elliptical cross section.

  Moreover, the cup-shaped container of the present invention can be dried by hooking the cup-shaped container on a kitchen or kitchen shelf, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, by drying the cup-shaped container with the opening facing downward or sideways, dirt does not adhere to the edge of the cup-shaped container, and dirt may be mixed into the container. And the hygienic state of the cup-shaped container can be kept good.

(Second Embodiment of Container for Moving Fluid Material)
Based on FIG. 7, the cup-shaped container 1b which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated.
In addition, about the structure similar to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the same code | symbol is described in drawing, and the specific description is abbreviate | omitted.

The hook portion 5b included in the cup-shaped container 1b of the second embodiment is:
-Hook body 51b,
-It has a movable stay 53b provided so as to be movable up and down with respect to the hook portion main body 51b.

  The movable stay 53b functions as an adjusting means for adjusting the height position of the container body 3 when the container body 3 is hooked on the pan.

  As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 7B, the hook portion main body 51b holds the movable stay 53b so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 7C, a plurality of protruding step portions 57 are formed at regular intervals in the vertical direction on the inner wall side of the hook portion main body 51b that holds the movable stay 53b. By projecting such a plurality of stepped portions 57 at regular intervals, when the movable stay 53b is slid in the vertical direction, a click (feeling of clicking) is felt with the fingertip every time the movable stay 53b is slid a certain distance. Can do. Further, by forming such a stepped portion 57, the stepped portion 57 functions as a stopper, and the movable stay 53b can be fixed at a desired height position.

  According to the cup-shaped container of the second embodiment including the movable stay 53b described above, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the edge of the cup-shaped container 1b (the lower end of the cup-shaped container 1b in the hooked state) is The height position of the cup-shaped container can be freely adjusted so as not to touch the liquid level in the pan 9. Therefore, since the cup-shaped container 1b does not touch the cooking being cooked in the pan 9, the cup-shaped container and the cooking being cooked are not soiled.

  Further, the height position of the stay 53b can be adjusted so that each user can easily grasp and hold it by hand. As a result, when the hook portion 5b functions as a handle (handle), It becomes possible to contribute to the improvement of the handle ease.

(Third embodiment of container for moving fluid material)
Based on FIG. 9, the cup-shaped container 1c which concerns on 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated.
