Description

  The present invention relates to a device devised to smoothly measure dry noodles such as spaghetti in a predetermined amount.

    The amount of dry noodles may increase unexpectedly when they are boiled compared to when dried. In order to prevent overproduction, it is important to accurately measure the number of grams per serving in the dry noodle state. Conventionally, there is a method in which a hole is provided in a plate-like member and a certain amount is measured through dry noodles through the hole. In addition, there is also a device that weighs by putting dry noodles in a U-shaped part and reading a memory, which was devised from the viewpoint of being difficult to pass through a hole.

  When weigh the necessary number of people such as spaghetti and long pasta, the noodles spread out and fall off the plate, making it very difficult to measure. Also, there are few households that have scales. There is a device that has a hole in the board and weighs the dry noodles through it, but it is difficult to pass the noodles exactly through the hole in the board, and it is often frustrating. There is a U-shape cut into the plate shown in Patent Document 1, but since the measurement opening is wide, an error in measurement may occur depending on the state of scraping. As in Non-Patent Document 1, there is a U-shaped measuring portion in one place with a deep memory, but it is difficult for a person with bad eyes to read the memory. In addition, as shown in Non-Patent Document 2, there are some cuts for introducing noodles into the measuring portion of the noodles, but the emphasis is on design, and it is difficult to put the noodles in a thin slot, and a thin plate The noodles that have been put in are not stable in the measuring section and are difficult to weigh.

  In order to solve the above problems, the dry noodle measuring device of the present invention has a main body having a thickness shorter than the length of the dry noodle, an opening that opens toward the outside of the main body, and the dry noodle can be introduced from the opening. A measuring part comprising a feeding part in which a large internal space is formed, an introduction part connected to and communicated with the other end of the charging part, and an internal space connected to and communicated with the introduction part for measuring the amount of dry noodles The introduction part is narrower than the introduction part and the measurement part.

  When using the dry noodle measuring tool of the present invention, when a stick-shaped dry noodle such as spaghetti is put into the charging section, the opening is wide so that it can be easily input. To the measuring part, accumulates in the measuring part through the introduction part. The introduction part where the input part and the measuring part are connected and communicated with each other is narrowed, so that the state when dry noodles are collected in the measuring part is easy to understand. be able to.

Hereinafter, the dry noodle meter of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(Example 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, this dry noodle measuring instrument has a charging part (3) and a measuring part (5) in a main body (1), both of which are connected via a narrowed introducing part (6). It is connected and communicated. The input part (3) has an opening (4) whose one end is open toward the outside of the main body (1). The introduction part (6) narrower than the introduction part (3) is connected to and communicated with the other end of the introduction part (3). In particular, in the dry noodle measuring instrument (2), the charging portion is tapered in a tapered shape from (3) the opening (4) to the introduction portion (6). Therefore, the opening (4) has a sufficient width compared to the introduction part (6), and a sufficient space is formed in the charging part (3) for charging the dry noodles (7). The measuring section (5) has an internal space for serving, for example, 100 g of dry noodles.

As shown in FIG. 2, this dry noodle measuring tool (2) is placed on a table, and dry noodle (7) is put through the opening (4). The dry noodles (7) that have entered the charging section (3) are led down from the opening (4) to the narrowed introducing section (6). The dried noodles (7) accumulate in the space of the measuring section (5) communicated through the introduction section (6). At this time, since the opening (4) is wide, it is easy to feed the dry noodle (7), and the dry noodle (7) is temporarily introduced until the dry noodle (7) is led down to the introduction part (6). ) Is very easy to work.
The introduction part (6) connected to and communicating with the measuring part (5) is narrower than the space shape of the measuring part (5), and the dried noodles (7) without gaps as the space shape of the measuring part (5) When it accumulates, it becomes the amount of one serving. When viewed from the top of the charging part (3), the introduction part (6) is narrowed, so that it is easy to recognize when the dry noodles (7) have accumulated in the measuring part (5) without any gaps. If too much has entered, the top may be removed from the constricted part of the introduction part (6) of the measuring part (5). Moreover, when it sees from the side with respect to the elongate direction of dry noodles (7), the state which accumulated exactly in the space shape of the measurement part (5) can be recognized. In this state, the dry noodles (7) can be pulled out sideways to measure a serving. When the dry noodle measuring part (2) has a certain thickness, preferably 4 mm or more, when the dry noodle (7) enters the measuring part (5), the dry noodle is held in a horizontal and undisturbed state and becomes easy to measure accurately. It becomes easy to extract. Further, in order to pull out the dry noodle (7) from the main body (1), the thickness of the main body (1) is made shorter than the length of the dry noodle (7). At this time, if the main body has a self-supporting thickness, the operation is further facilitated.
In this way, the serving size can be easily measured, so if it is for several servings, the necessary number of times may be repeated.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the noodles (7) are put out from the bag so as to stand and the dry noodles (7) are pushed in from the side, the dry noodles that have entered the input unit (3) are sent out to the measuring unit (5). The dried noodles (7) gathered according to the shape of the measuring section (5) can be pulled out and weighed out a certain amount.

(Example 2)
As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of measuring units (5) are provided, and an introduction unit (6) narrower than each measuring unit (5) is provided at a connecting portion of the measuring units (5). In this case, since one measuring unit (5) is used as a single unit, it is possible to easily recognize how many units are being measured. Further, if the dry noodle measuring tool (2) is not thick enough to stand by itself, a stand (8) may be provided.

Example 3
The introduction part (3) and the metering part (5) and the introduction part (6) which are both constricted and connected and communicated can be used to make various shapes. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it can be used for a design imitating a silhouette of a cat or the like. If this is used, dry noodles (7) can be measured as shown in FIG.

Example 4
As shown in FIG. 7, you may lengthen between the inlets (6a) and outlets (6b) of the introduction part (6). In this case, 80 g of the measuring part (5) is made into a space for 20 g of dry noodles (7) from the inlet (6a) to the outlet (6b) of the introducing part (6). A typical serving is 100g, but those who have a small eye can put dry noodles (7) only in the weighing part (5) of 80g, and if it is normal 100g, use the space of the introduction part (6) to save 100g Can be weighed. Thus, fine adjustment can also be performed using the introduction part (6).

The shape of the dried noodles (7) introduced from the opening (4) to the introduction part (6) of the introduction part (3) smoothly leads to the introduction part (6) is not necessarily tapered.
(Example 5)
As shown in FIG. 8, an arc may be drawn and narrowed toward the introduction part (6).
(Example 6)
As shown in FIG. 9, it may become narrow toward the introducing | transducing part (6), becoming a step shape.
(Example 7)
As shown in FIG. 10, it may narrow to the introduction part (6) while drawing a waveform.
