  However, the inventor of the present application puts a draining container as exemplified in Patent Document 1 in a sink and drains food, and when the amount of water is large or the drainage is bad, water is in the sink. Since it was in a stored state and the lower part of the container and the stored food were soaked in the stored water, it was recognized that it was not desirable in terms of hygiene.

  Therefore, as a result of intensive studies by the inventors of the present application, the inventors have come up with a method for solving the above-described problem by a configuration in which the pedestal provided at the bottom is raised. However, if the pedestal is simply raised, there may be a conflicting problem that when the draining container is stored, the overall height becomes large, making it impossible or difficult to store.

  As a result of further research, we have come up with a method for solving the above conflicting problems by adopting a configuration in which the height of the pedestal is variable. Here, Patent Document 2: Utility Model Registration No. 3107224 discloses a draining container having a bendable leg. However, the draining container exemplified in Patent Document 2 is intended to solve a problem different from the present application, and does not give suggestions for solving the problem in the present application. In addition, the structure is inconvenient in that it takes time and effort to operate because it has a structure in which a plurality of legs are bent.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can change the height of a pedestal provided at the bottom by an extremely simple operation, and in particular, a container for water stored in a sink when draining in the sink. An object of the present invention is to provide a draining container that can be used in a sanitary manner while preventing the food inside from being soaked, and that does not take up space when stored in a container shelf.

  In addition, the present invention can change the height by an extremely simple operation, and in particular, prevents the food in the draining container from being immersed in the water stored in the sink when draining in the sink. An object of the present invention is to provide a drainage container base that can be used and does not take up space when stored in a container shelf.

  As an embodiment, the above-described problem is solved by a solution as disclosed below.

  The draining container of the disclosure is a draining container that drains food by containing food in a housing part formed using a member having a plurality of holes or a mesh-like member, and the bottom part of the housing part has an outer cylinder part and A double cylindrical pedestal having an inner cylinder part, and either the outer cylinder part or the inner cylinder part is fixed to the housing part, and one of the outer cylinder part and the inner cylinder part has a peripheral A groove in which a first groove and a second groove, which are horizontal grooves provided above and below the surface, and a third groove that connects one end of the first groove and one end of the second groove are continuous. An engagement groove formed in a shape is provided, and the other of the outer cylinder part and the inner cylinder part protrudes in the radial direction from the peripheral surface, engages with the engagement groove, and is movable within the groove. A projection is provided, and the engagement projection is positioned in the first groove in the upper vertical direction and the first In the case of location in the groove, by overlap dimension between the inner cylinder portion and the outer cylindrical portion is changed, the height of the pedestal is characterized in that a switchable in two ways.

  The disclosed drainage container pedestal is a drainage container pedestal on which a food drainage container is placed in a drainage place such as a sink, and is formed using a member having a plurality of holes or a mesh-like member. A first groove which is a horizontal groove provided on one of the outer cylinder part and the inner cylinder part at the upper and lower sides on the peripheral surface, An engagement groove formed in a groove shape in which a second groove and a third groove connecting one end portion of the first groove and one end portion of the second groove are provided, and the outer cylinder portion and the On the other side of the inner cylinder portion, an engagement protrusion is provided that protrudes in the radial direction from the peripheral surface and can be engaged with the engagement groove and can move in the groove. In the case where it is located inside and in the case where it is located in the second groove, the overlapping dimension of the outer cylinder part and the inner cylinder part There by changing, characterized in that the overall height is switchable in two ways.

  According to the draining container of the present invention, it is possible to realize a draining container capable of changing the height of the pedestal provided at the bottom by an extremely simple operation. Therefore, for example, when draining in the sink, the height of the pedestal should be kept high so that the food stored in the container can be prevented from being immersed in the water stored in the sink and used hygienically. Is possible. Moreover, when storing in a container shelf, it becomes possible to store in space-saving by making the height of a base low.

  In addition, according to the drainage container base of the present invention, the height can be changed by an extremely simple operation.

[Draining container]
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a draining container according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a perspective view (schematic diagram) showing an example of a draining container 1 according to the present embodiment. Note that components having the same function are denoted by the same reference symbols throughout the drawings for describing the embodiments, and the repetitive description thereof may be omitted.

  The draining container 1 is a cooking utensil for storing food in a housing portion 10 formed using a member having a plurality of holes or a mesh-like member (in this embodiment, as a mesh-like). Shown). Of course, it is also possible to drain the water other than food. As an example, a metal material such as a stainless alloy is used for the constituent member, but a resin material may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodating part 10 is formed in a bowl shape whose appearance is hemispherical, and has a structure capable of accommodating food. However, the shape is not limited to this, and the appearance may be a rectangular parallelepiped shape. In addition, a pedestal 12 that is stably placed on a table, in a sink, or the like is provided on the bottom 10a of the accommodating portion 10.

  The pedestal 12 according to the present embodiment is formed in a double cylindrical shape having an outer cylinder portion 14 and an inner cylinder portion 16. As an example, the outer cylinder part 14 is fixed to the bottom part 10a of the housing part 10, the inner cylinder part 16 is fitted into the outer cylinder part 14, and is movable in the height direction (vertical direction in use). It is supported. Further, the lower end portion 16a of the inner cylinder portion 16 is disposed in a state of protruding by a predetermined amount (a degree that can be gripped by the user) with respect to the lower end portion 14a of the outer cylinder portion 14. Hereinafter, the structure of the outer cylinder part 14 and the inner cylinder part 16 is demonstrated in detail.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 (enlarged view of V portion in FIG. 1), the outer cylinder portion 14 includes a first groove 20 and a second groove arranged in parallel in the vertical direction on the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion). The groove 22 and the engagement groove 18 formed in a continuous groove shape including the third groove 24 connecting the one end 20a of the first groove 20 and the one end 22a of the second groove 22 are provided. As an example, the first groove 20 and the second groove 22 are formed as horizontal grooves (grooves whose longitudinal direction extends in the horizontal direction), and the third grooves 24 are formed as vertical grooves (grooves whose longitudinal direction extends in the vertical direction). By doing so, the engaging groove 18 in which they continue is formed in a “U” shape as a whole. Since the engagement groove 18 only needs to be able to engage with an engagement protrusion 26 described later, the “groove shape” includes a hole shape that penetrates the peripheral wall portion in the radial direction or a recess shape that does not penetrate. (In this embodiment, it is illustrated as a hole).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner cylinder portion 16 protrudes in the radial direction from the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) and can be engaged with the engagement groove 18 of the outer cylinder portion 14, and the inside of the engagement groove 18. Is provided with an engaging projection 26 that is movable. The engaging protrusion 26 may be formed integrally with the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion), or may be formed separately and fixed to the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) by bolt fastening, adhesion, welding, or the like. Also good.

  According to the above configuration, the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16 overlap each other when the engagement protrusion 26 is located in the first groove 20 in the upper vertical direction and in the second groove 22. By changing the dimensions, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the height of the base 12 can be switched in two ways. More specifically, when the engagement protrusion 26 is positioned in the first groove 20, the overlapping dimension of the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16 is large, and the height of the pedestal 12 is reduced (in the use state). The dimension in the vertical direction can be reduced) (state shown in FIG. 1). On the other hand, when the engagement protrusion 26 is positioned in the second groove 22, the overlap dimension between the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16 is small, and the height of the base 12 is increased (the vertical direction in the use state). (The state shown in FIG. 2).

  Therefore, for example, when the draining container 1 is placed in the sink and drained, water is stored in the sink by switching the pedestal 12 to a high state. However, it is possible to prevent the food stored in the storage unit 10 from being immersed in the water. On the other hand, when the draining container 1 is stored in the container shelf after use, it can be stored even in a smaller (narrow) space by switching the pedestal 12 to a low state. Become. In this way, the conflicting problems described above can be solved.

  Here, as a characteristic configuration of the present embodiment, both the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16 are formed by using a member having a plurality of holes or a mesh-like member, like the housing portion 10. (In the present embodiment, it is illustrated as a mesh). According to this, at the time of draining, the water flowing into the pedestal 12 (the outer cylinder part 14 and the inner cylinder part 16) from the housing part 10 is blocked by the peripheral wall parts of the outer cylinder part 14 and the inner cylinder part 16 It can be prevented from being locally stored in the internal position, and can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the pedestal 12 (the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16).

  Further, as a characteristic configuration of the present embodiment, the combination of the engagement groove 18 and the engagement protrusion 26 corresponding to the engagement groove 18 is equidistant in the circumferential direction (that is, at a predetermined angle around the central axis). ) A plurality of locations are provided (in this embodiment, two locations at symmetrical positions across the central axis). According to this, even when a large weight is applied to the accommodating portion 10 during draining, the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16 can be prevented from being inclined with respect to each other, and can be stably supported. Can do. In addition, if it is set as the structure provided in three or more places, the further stable support will become possible (not shown).

  The operation method for switching the height of the base 12 is as follows. For example, when switching from the state shown in FIG. 1 (state where the height of the base 12 is low) to the state shown in FIG. 2 (state where the height of the base 12 is high), the user lowers the lower end of the inner cylinder portion 16. The inner cylinder portion 16 is rotated until the engaging protrusion 26 is positioned from the other end portion 20b of the first groove 20 to the position of the one end portion 20a by grasping the portion 16a. Next, the position of the engagement protrusion 26 from the one end 20a of the first groove 20 (matches the upper end 24a of the third groove 24) to the one end 22a of the second groove 22 (matches the lower end 24b of the third groove 24). The inner cylinder portion 16 is moved downward until Next, the inner cylinder portion 16 is rotated until the engagement protrusion 26 is positioned from the one end portion 22a of the second groove 22 to the other end portion 22b. On the other hand, when switching from the state shown in FIG. 2 (the state where the height of the pedestal 12 is high) to the state shown in FIG. 1 (a state where the height of the pedestal 12 is low), an operation opposite to the above may be performed. .

  Here, as a characteristic configuration of the present embodiment, each of the first groove 20 and the second groove 22 has one end 20a, a predetermined distance from the other ends 20b, 22b at least a radial dimension of the engagement protrusion 26 at least. At the upper edge portion at a position away from the side 22a, a protrusion-like stopper 32 is provided that protrudes toward the lower edge portion with a dimension that allows the engagement protrusion 26 to pass through the groove. According to this, it is possible to prevent the engagement protrusion 26 from inadvertently moving in the engagement groove 18 during use of the draining container 1, and to reliably maintain a predetermined pedestal position (height position). Can do. That is, in the present embodiment, the upper edge portion of the engagement groove 18 of the outer tube portion 14 fixed to the housing portion 10 abuts on the upper end portion of the engagement protrusion 26 of the inner tube portion 16, thereby Since the structure is such that the load of 10 is supported, the stopper 32 is configured to protrude from the upper edge portion to the lower edge portion of the first groove 20 and the second groove 22 as in the above-described structure. The movement of the protrusion 26 in the engagement groove 18 can be reliably restricted. Thus, the stopper 32 is used from the edge portion on the contact side (load support side) with the engagement protrusion 26 in the engagement groove 18 (first groove 20 and second groove 22) in use (load support). A configuration that protrudes toward the edge on the non-contact side is preferable. Therefore, for example, in the case of a modification in which the inner cylinder portion 16 is fixed to the accommodating portion 10, the protruding direction of the stopper may be reversed (see the fourth embodiment described later). However, it is not limited to said structure, The engaging groove 18 (the 1st groove | channel 20 and the 2nd groove | channel 22) is good also as a linear structure which does not provide a protrusion-shaped stopper in an edge part.

  As described above, according to the draining container 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to switch the height of the pedestal 12 in two ways with a very simple structure and a very simple operation. Therefore, the height of the pedestal 12 can be switched in a very short time by one-touch continuous operation without causing the problem that the leg bending operation takes time as in the configuration exemplified in Patent Document 2. It is possible to improve convenience during use.

(Second embodiment)
Then, the draining container 1 which concerns on 2nd embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The draining container 1 according to this embodiment has the same basic configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, but particularly has a difference in the configuration of the inner cylinder portion 16. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the difference. Here, FIG. 6 is a schematic view (perspective view) of the inner cylinder portion 16 of the draining container 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the inner cylinder portion 16 according to the present embodiment is provided with a flange-shaped portion 28 projecting radially outward at the lower end portion 16 a, and the flange-shaped portion 28. Are provided with a plurality of recesses 30 that hang a user's finger on the outer edge so as to be recessed inward in the radial direction.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to put a finger on the hook-shaped portion 28, so that the inner tube portion 16 is pulled out and pushed into the outer tube portion 14 (the engagement protrusion 26 is moved in the third groove 24). In this case, it is possible to prevent the finger from slipping on the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) of the inner cylinder portion 16 and to perform the operation reliably. Further, since the finger can be hooked on the concave portion 30 of the bowl-shaped portion 28, when the inner cylinder portion 16 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder portion 14 (the engagement protrusion 26 is formed in the first groove 20 and the second groove 22. It is possible to prevent the finger from slipping on the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) of the inner cylinder portion 16 during the movement of the inner cylinder portion 16, and the operation can be reliably performed.

  In addition, since the installation area is increased by providing the hook-shaped portion 28, when the draining container 1 is placed and used, it can be prevented from being tilted and stabilized.

(Third embodiment)
Then, the draining container 1 which concerns on 3rd embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The draining container 1 according to this embodiment has the same basic configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, but particularly has a difference in the configuration of the engagement groove 18 of the outer cylinder portion 14. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the difference. Here, FIG. 7 is a schematic view (perspective view) of the outer cylinder portion 14 of the draining container 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the outer cylinder portion 14 according to the present embodiment includes a first groove 20 and a second groove 22 provided on the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) above and below in the vertical direction, and the first groove 20. The engagement groove 18 is formed in a groove shape in which the one end portion 20a of the second groove 22 and the third groove 24 connecting the one end portion 22a of the second groove 22 are continuous. As an example, the first groove 20 and the second groove 22 are formed as horizontal grooves (grooves whose longitudinal direction extends in the horizontal direction), and the third grooves 24 are inclined grooves (longitudinal direction at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction). (Extending groove).

  According to this configuration, the height of the pedestal 12 can be switched only by rotating the inner cylinder portion 16 in only one direction. Therefore, the switching operation can be performed more easily and in a shorter time than the configuration according to the first embodiment described above.

(Fourth embodiment)
Then, the draining container 1 which concerns on 4th embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The draining container 1 according to the present embodiment has the same basic configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, but particularly has a difference in the configuration in which the accommodating portion 10 and the base 12 are fixed. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the difference. Here, FIGS. 8-12 is the schematic which shows the structure of the draining container 1 which concerns on this embodiment, Comprising: It is a figure corresponding to FIGS. 1-5 in 1st embodiment.

  The draining container 1 according to the present embodiment fixes the outer cylinder part 14 to the accommodating part 10 like the draining container 1 according to the first embodiment described above, and the inner cylinder part 16 and the outer cylinder part 14 and the accommodating part. In this configuration, the inner cylinder portion 16 is fixed to the accommodating portion 10 and the inner cylinder portion 16 and the accommodating portion 10 are supported by the outer cylinder portion 14.

  Here, as in the first embodiment, a plurality of engagement grooves 18 and engagement protrusions 26 corresponding to the engagement grooves 18 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction (that is, at intervals of a predetermined angle around the central axis). It is the structure which provides a part. However, in this embodiment, it is set as the structure which provides three places at intervals of a predetermined angle around the central axis. According to this, compared with the structure provided in two places, the further stable support is attained. Note that four or more locations may be provided.

  Moreover, since the draining container 1 which concerns on this embodiment is the structure which supports the inner cylinder part 16 and the accommodating part 10 with the outer cylinder part 14, contrary to the structure of the draining container 1 which concerns on 1st embodiment. 12 (enlarged view of the XII portion in FIG. 8), the stopper 32 in the first groove 20 and the second groove 22 is directed from the lower edge portion to the upper edge portion, contrary to the first embodiment. It has a protruding configuration.

  According to the above configuration, when the engagement protrusion 26 is located in the second groove 22, the overlapping dimension between the outer cylinder portion 14 and the inner cylinder portion 16 is large, and the height of the pedestal 12 of the draining container 1 is increased. The height (axial height) can be reduced (the size in the vertical direction in the use state can be reduced) (the state shown in FIG. 8). On the other hand, when the engagement protrusion 26 is positioned in the first groove 20, the overlap dimension between the outer cylinder part 14 and the inner cylinder part 16 is small, and the height (axial direction) of the base 12 for the draining container 1 is reduced. (Height) can be increased (the vertical dimension in use is increased) (state shown in FIG. 9).

(Fifth embodiment)
Then, the draining container 1 which concerns on 5th embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The draining container 1 according to this embodiment has the same basic configuration as that of the above-described fourth embodiment, but particularly has a difference in the configuration of the engagement groove 18 of the outer cylinder portion 14. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the difference. Here, FIG. 13 is a schematic view (perspective view) of the outer cylinder portion 14 of the draining container 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the outer tube portion 14 according to the present embodiment has a third groove 24 formed as a vertical groove with respect to the engagement groove 18, and the first groove 20 is the upper end of the third groove 24. The second groove 22 is formed as a groove extending from the lower end of the third groove 24 in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction in the horizontal direction. Alternatively, as a modification, the third groove 24 may be formed in an inclined groove that is inclined by a predetermined angle from the vertical direction (not shown) instead of the vertical groove. In that case, the predetermined angle is preferably 0 ° or more and 60 ° or less.

  According to this configuration, as compared with the configuration according to the first embodiment described above, when the height of the pedestal 12 is switched, an operation for reversing the rotation direction of the inner cylinder portion 16 does not occur. Further, the switching operation can be performed easily and in a short time.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, of the first groove 20 and the second groove 22, the side closer to the opening end (here, the upper end portion 14 b) of the outer cylindrical portion 14 on the side where the inner cylindrical portion 16 enters and advances. One (here, the first groove 20) is formed to be longer in the horizontal direction than the other (here, the second groove 22) on the far side. Here, in the pedestal 12, when used in a state where the height is increased, the opening end of the outer cylindrical portion 14 on the side where the inner cylindrical portion 16 enters and advances out of the first groove 20 and the second groove 22. The load of the accommodating part 10 is added to one side (here, the first groove 20) closer to (here, the upper end part 14b). Therefore, the inner cylinder portion 16 and the outer cylinder portion 14 are slightly rotated relative to each other by forming the length of the groove on one of the close sides (here, the first groove 20) relatively long. It is possible to prevent the engaging protrusion 26 from moving to the third groove 24 and dropping the accommodating portion 10 suddenly just by moving. This configuration can also be applied to other embodiments.

[Draining container base]
Hereinafter, a drainage container base according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are schematic views showing the configuration of the drainage container base 2 according to the present embodiment.

  The drainage container pedestal 2 is an instrument used in a drainage place such as a sink. For example, the drainage container pedestal 2 can be placed in the sink, and a commercially available drainage container (cold, colander, etc.) can be placed thereon. In that state, food can be stored in a draining container and drained. Of course, it is also possible to drain the water other than food. As an example, a metal material such as a stainless alloy is used for the constituent member, but a resin material may be used.

  The drainage container pedestal 2 according to the present embodiment can be described as the same configuration as the pedestal 12 in the state in which the accommodating portion 10 is not provided in the drainage container 1 according to each of the embodiments described above.

  As a representative example, the drainage container pedestal 2 according to this embodiment corresponds to the pedestal 12 of the drainage container 1 according to the fourth embodiment described above, and has a double cylinder having an outer cylinder part 54 and an inner cylinder part 56. It is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is configured to be movable in the height direction (a double cylindrical axial direction, which is a vertical direction in use). Note that one end portion (for example, the upper end portion in the drawing) of the inner cylinder portion 56 protrudes by a predetermined amount (to the extent that the user can grip) with respect to one end portion (for example, the upper end portion in the drawing) of the outer cylinder portion 54. It is good also as a structure.

  Here, the outer cylinder portion 54 includes a first groove 60 and a second groove 62 that are arranged in the vertical direction on the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion), and one end portion 60 a of the first groove 60 and the second groove 62. An engagement groove 58 formed in a continuous groove shape is provided with a third groove 64 connecting the one end portion 62a. As an example, the first groove 60 and the second groove 62 are formed as horizontal grooves (grooves whose longitudinal direction extends in the horizontal direction), and the third grooves 64 are formed as vertical grooves (grooves whose longitudinal direction extends in the vertical direction). Thus, the engaging groove 58 in which they are continuous is formed in a “U” shape as a whole. Since the engagement groove 58 only needs to be able to engage with an engagement protrusion 66 described later, the “groove shape” includes a hole shape that penetrates the peripheral wall portion in the radial direction or a recess shape that does not penetrate. (In this embodiment, it is illustrated as a hole).

  Next, the inner cylindrical portion 56 protrudes in the radial direction from the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) and can engage with the engaging groove 58 of the outer cylindrical portion 54 and can move within the engaging groove 58. 66. The engagement protrusion 66 may be formed integrally with the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion), or may be formed separately and fixed to the peripheral surface (peripheral wall portion) by bolt fastening, adhesion, welding, or the like. Also good.

  According to the above configuration, the outer cylinder portion 54 and the inner cylinder portion 56 overlap in the case where the engagement protrusion 66 is located in the first groove 60 in the vertical direction and the case where the engagement protrusion 66 is located in the second groove 62. By changing the dimensions, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the height of the drainage container pedestal 2 can be switched in two ways. More specifically, when the engagement protrusion 26 is positioned in the second groove 62, the overlapping dimension of the outer cylinder portion 54 and the inner cylinder portion 56 is large, and the height (axial direction) of the drainage container pedestal 2 is reached. The height can be reduced (the vertical dimension in the use state can be reduced) (the state shown in FIG. 14).
