Description

  The present invention relates to a pincer mainly used for handling food.

  The pinch (tongue) is used to pinch foods or the like at the tip of the opposing pinch body, and adopts a structure that returns (biases) the pinch portion to the open state when the pinch is released. . For example, a metal plate is bent into a U shape to form an opposing sandwiched body, and an instrument (Patent Document 1) having a structure that returns by rebound resilience when closed (when sandwiched) is used, or the base of the plate-like opposed sandwiching body is opened. An instrument that is connected in a state and returns by the elasticity of the member itself (Patent Document 2), and an instrument that pivots the base of the opposing holding body and attaches a ridge to return the opening (Patent Document 3) are known. .

  Further, when the front end is not in use, the front holding portion becomes bulky in the open state, which is obstructive. Therefore, a mechanism is provided to maintain the front end holding portion in the closed state when not in use (when stored). For example, in Patent Document 2, a rotating body having an axis in the through direction of the opposing sandwiching body as an axis is provided at the base of the opposing sandwiching body, and an opening for limiting the opening of the opposing sandwiching body is provided on the peripheral surface of the rotating body. A mechanism is disclosed that opens and closes the front clamping portion by selecting an opening having a different gap by the rotation of the moving body.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, a lever that moves in and out with respect to the tail end portion from the pivot shaft of the base portion of the opposing sandwiching body is provided, and the tail end of the opposing sandwiching body is in an expanded state by operating the lever (the front sandwiching portion is A mechanism for holding in a closed state is disclosed.

  Since cooking utensils are generally easy to handle roughly, a structure that is not easily damaged or deformed is required. However, the above-mentioned closed holding mechanism for the front clamping part described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 is not necessarily easy to manufacture and It cannot be said that it is excellent in durability. In addition, when the utensil is placed on a table or a cooking table, it is more hygienic that the front clamping unit that sandwiches the food does not touch the table or the cooking table. Providing the mounting projections makes the manufacture of the apparatus troublesome and also obstructs the operation of the apparatus.

  Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel food sandwiching tool that includes a part that can realize a closed state with a simple structure and can also temporarily place an instrument on a table.

  The sandwiching tool according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with an opening biasing function in an opposing sandwiching body in which a sandwiching portion is provided at the tip of an arm portion and the base portion is pivoted to open and close the sandwiching portion. A frame that is inserted between the arms of the opposing clamp and has an inner dimension that is narrower than the distance between the heads of the pivot shaft, and an appropriate protruding from the frame A frame-like body having a leg portion having a length is extrapolated movably on the arm portion.

  Thus, when the frame-shaped body is moved to the base of the arm (near the pivoting portion), the opposing gripping body is in an open state, and the arm is gripped or held. A predetermined object (food, etc.) is clamped by opening and closing. When the frame-like body is moved to the tip of the arm part (near the clamping part), the opposing clamping body is closed and can be stored as it is without being bulky. Since the part is in a raised state, temporary placement can be realized in a sanitary manner. In particular, since the inner dimension of the frame part is narrower than the distance between the heads of the pivot shaft, the frame-shaped body does not fall out of the arm part.

  Moreover, the clip tool according to claim 2 of the present invention is the clip tool described above, wherein the leg part of the frame-like body is formed in a U-shape having the same width as the frame part. The shape of the frame is simple, the appearance of the frame is simple, the design is excellent, and the manufacture is easy.

  Further, the clip tool according to claim 3 of the present invention is the clip tool described above, in which leg portions of the frame-like body are provided on both sides of the frame section. Pay attention to the mounting direction when temporarily placing the instrument. I don't need it.

  The pinching tool according to claim 4 of the present invention is the above pinching tool, in particular, a frame-like body formed by bending a wire, and the member (frame-like body) is folded of a metal wire. Easy to produce with songs.

  Further, the clip tool according to claim 5 of the present invention is the clip tool in which the special frame-shaped body is integrally formed of a metal plate or resin, and the metal plate is hollowed out or the resin is integrally injected. A member (frame body) can be easily produced by molding or the like.

  As described above, the configuration of the present invention can realize the holding of the holding portion closed when the instrument is stored or temporarily placed by simply attaching a frame body with a simple structure to the opposing holding body, and further includes a leg portion for holding. The non-contact placement of the part can also be realized.

Explanatory drawing at the time of manufacture. The whole perspective view of the same example (2nd Example). FIG. 3 (third embodiment).

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The pinching tool shown in the embodiment is basically composed of a pair of opposed pinching bodies 1a and 1b and a frame-like body 2 which is a feature of the present invention, like a conventional device.

  The opposing sandwiching bodies 1a and 1b are formed of a thin metal plate, and are provided with a sandwiching part 11, an arm part 12, and a base part 13 serving as a pivot point. The sandwiching part 11 is the tip of the arm part 12. Further, it is formed on a holding surface that is appropriately wider than the arm portion 12.

  The arm portion 12 is formed in a U-shaped or U-shaped cross-section of the lower opening, or the length is appropriately set to be a width. The base portion 13 is a base end side of the arm portion 12. The opposite sandwiching bodies 1a and 1b are meshed with each other at the side surface portion in the shape of a lower opening and are pivoted by a pivot shaft 14 penetrating the side surface portion. The pivot shaft 14 is a side surface like a rivet shaft. It has the head 141 which protrudes from a part.

  The frame-like body 2 is formed by bending a metal wire, and is provided with a frame portion 21 and a leg portion 22. The frame portion 21 has an inner width substantially equal to the width of the arm portion 12. The width of the pivot shaft 14 is narrower than the distance between the heads, and the arm portions 12 of the opposing sandwiching bodies 1a and 1b are inserted together. It is to set.

  Further, the leg portion 22 protrudes from the side of the frame portion 21 and is formed in a Japanese character shape together with the frame portion 21. The inner height of the frame portion 21 and the height of the leg portion 22 are formed such that the opening / closing interval of the holding portion 11 and the holding portion 11 do not contact the table during temporary placement.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the above-mentioned instrument is in a state in which the opposing sandwiching bodies 1a and 1b are made to correspond to the shape of the instrument (the biasing member is not shown, but is interposed between the opposing sandwiching bodies 1a and 1b in advance. Therefore, after the frame-like body 2 is extrapolated to the opposing sandwiching bodies 1 a and 1 b, the pivot shaft 14 is mounted through the base portion 13.

  Thus, when the frame 2 is moved to the base 13 of the arm 12, the inner width of the frame 21 of the frame 2 is wider than the distance between the heads of the pivot shaft 14. Since it is narrow, the frame-like body 2 stops at the base portion 13.

  In the said state, an opposing clamping body will be in an open state, hold | grips or hold | maintains the arm part 12, and opens and closes the front clamping part 11 and clamps a predetermined target object (foodstuff etc.) (FIG. 1). ).

  Moreover, when the frame-like body 2 is moved to the holding portion 11 side ahead of the arm portion 12, the opposing holding bodies 1a and 1b are closed. Then, when the leg portion 22 is placed on the table with the lower side down, the clamping portion is placed in a raised state (FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Accordingly, the opposed sandwiching bodies 1a and 1b can be easily closed by moving the frame-like body 2, and are not bulky during storage and can be placed temporarily in a sanitary manner.

  In the present invention, the leg portion 22 may not be provided on only one side as in the above-described embodiment (first example), but may be provided on both left and right sides as in the frame-like body 2a shown in FIG. You may provide in the up-and-down side instead of the side part of the part 21. FIG.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6 (third embodiment), the frame-like body 2b may be formed into a single plate shape by punching a metal plate or integrally forming with a resin by injection molding.
