Description

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is a plate in which a cup of food or paper is placed in one plate, and chopsticks and the like can be temporarily fixed so that the plate can be easily held and food and drink can be enjoyed while moving from place to place.

Conventionally, the plates such as paper that are generally used for standing parties, cherry blossom viewing, barbecues, etc. are often flat plates with a shallow bottom. If you have a cup in one hand when eating and the cup in the other hand, you will be inconvenient that you can drink it but you can not eat it. However, it is often the case that things on the table etc. are complicated, and it is often difficult to know which cup you have placed, such as after you take your eyes off, and you have to keep your chopsticks separately. There were difficulties.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, a position for placing the paper cup is provided on the flat plate of the paper that constitutes the plate main portion 131, and the cutout hole 133 is formed by pushing it with a finger in advance so that the plate can be easily held from below. A technique is known in which a finger-holding hole 132 through which a thumb is passed is provided, a dish is firmly supported from below by another finger, and a projecting partition 134 is provided in the dish to prevent the flow of juice such as cooking ( See Patent Document 1).

However, the thickness of the finger of each individual is different, and if the hole is too large compared to the thickness of the finger, it tends to be difficult to hold and lose stability, while if the size of the hole is smaller than the thickness of the finger, There was a problem that it would bite into the end of the hole to impair safety, the finger could not be pulled out, and in extreme cases, the finger could not enter the hole and could not hold the plate.

Also, since the chopsticks are held separately from the other, they hold the plate, making it easy to drop the chopsticks and difficult to hold.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 is a conceptual plan view of a plate showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial conceptual cross-sectional view of the chopstick holding portion, FIG. 3 is a conceptual plan view showing the chopstick holding state, and FIG. 4 is the chopstick holding portion. It is a partial conceptual cross-sectional view showing a chopstick holding state of.

In the plate having this structure, the plate main portion 11 has a flat plate shape, a notch 12 is provided from the outer edge toward the center, and a hole 13 is provided so that a cup can be fitted. A chopstick threading portion 14 is provided as a chopstick holding structure for holding on a plate.

In addition, the shape of the plate main portion is a general structure in which a central bottom portion and an edge portion that slopes upward toward the outer edge are provided, but the edge slope is not necessarily required when there is the following partition, and, It is also possible to set the inclination angle appropriately according to the application or the object to be placed, and to make it a deep dish shape.

The shape of the plate main portion is generally a round plate, but may be an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a concrete shape such as a tree leaf shape, a square shape, or an abstract shape.

The plate may have any thickness as long as it can maintain the minimum strength, and may have a constant thickness or a different thickness depending on the part such that a part of the plate is thick because the legs are provided. In this case, the legs may be provided with a structure in which the thickness is constant or a part is curved downward.

The material may be cardboard or the like, but water- and oil-resistant materials such as art paper, coated paper, and film-coated paper are preferable, and materials such as hard plastic that can withstand repeated use may be used. I do not care.

The notch 12 is formed for hanging a finger, and is provided from the outer edge toward the central portion, but it is preferable that the notch 12 be provided with a size such that the thumb can be just inserted. However, since the thumb has different thicknesses and shapes depending on the person, it is preferable to provide the notch with a slightly larger size, but it is possible to prepare various types such as for children, if necessary.

Further, it is preferable to provide a flat portion in the central portion of the plate main portion 11 at the tip of the notch 12. By providing such a flat portion, the thumb on the upper surface of the plate main portion 11 which is passed through the notch 12 and the forefinger on the lower surface of the plate main portion 11 can be stably sandwiched, thereby stabilizing the plate. It becomes possible to have it.

The end surface of the notch 12 may be cut perpendicularly to the surface of the dish main portion 11, but chamfering may be performed to prevent the finger from hitting and holding the finger for a long time and causing pain. .. In addition, when the material of the plate main portion 11 is such as a pulp mold material and there is no problem even if it is hit with a finger, such a device is naturally unnecessary.

The hole 13 is provided in a portion of the plate main portion 11 different from the cutout 12. The position may be at the center of the plate main portion, but it is generally shifted from the center for the sake of serving food, and it may be provided at a position not on the edge or at a position on the edge. In this case, the shape of the hole is generally circular because the cup has a circular cross-sectional shape, but another shape is not excluded. Further, the end face of the hole 13 is also generally cut perpendicularly to the surface of the plate main portion 11, but other shapes such as an end face inclined in accordance with the inclination of the outer circumference of the cup may be used.

Further, a chopstick passing portion 14 is provided as a chopstick holding structure. This is provided in a portion of the plate main portion 11 different from the cutout 12 and the hole 13. The position may be at the center of the plate main part, but it is generally shifted from the center for the sake of cooking, and it is generally provided from the end of the plate main part 11 to another end. Target.

As shown in FIG. 2, the chopstick threading portion 14 is cut at both ends by the plate main portion and a cutting line to form an opening 22, and the cutting line is connected to the plate main portion. .. Further, the plate main portion 22 is substantially flat, while the chopstick threading portion 23 has a convex shape like a kamaboko shape.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, by inserting the chopsticks 35 from the opening portion of the chopstick passing portion 34 to the other opening portions, the chopstick 35 can be passed under the chopstick passing portion 34 on the plate main portion 31. .. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the chopsticks 45 can be temporarily fixed by being sandwiched between the plate main portion 44 and the chopstick passing portion 43.

In this case, depending on the shape of the chopsticks, the shape of the chopstick threading part may be an oval shape other than the kamaboko shape, or a substantially square shape with rounded tops. It doesn't matter.

The shape of the cross section of the opening is generally a shape through which one chopstick set can pass, but it is preferable to narrow the cross section of the chopstick slightly to increase the fixing force. On the other hand, when priority is given to the ease of putting chopsticks, it is preferable to make the cross-sectional shape wider than one chopstick set. The cross-sections do not have to be the same for both openings, and it is possible to configure the inlet to be slightly wider and the outlet to be slightly narrower. The shape may be left-right symmetrical so that it can be inserted. In addition, when the material of the plate has elasticity, it is possible to adjust the height of the chopstick insertion part in consideration of the deformation between the plate main part and the chopstick insertion part due to the elasticity.

Further, it is not necessary that the convex portion is provided only on the chopstick threading portion, and a structure may be used in which the dish main portion is provided with a concave portion and is sandwiched and temporarily fixed.

In this case, the notch 12, the hole 13 and the chopstick threading portion 14 may be provided in such a shape from the beginning at the time of molding or molding, but in the case of press molding, at any stage before pressing, at the same time as pressing, and after pressing. It may be punched, or the notches 12 and the holes 13 are connected by a half cut or perforation before use, and the notches 12 and the holes 13 may be provided at the time of use by cutting all or part of them. .. Alternatively, the chopstick passing portion 14, the notch 12 and the hole 13 may be formed first and then pressed.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a conceptual plan view of a plate showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a conceptual sectional view showing the same chopstick holding state. As shown in FIG. 5, the chopstick threading portion 54 is cut at both ends thereof by the plate main portion and the cutting line to form two openings 62 at each position, and the space between the cutting lines is cut between the plate main portion. It is connected to the department. Further, the plate main portion 64 is substantially flat, whereas the chopstick threading portion 63 has two convex shapes such as a kamaboko shape.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, by inserting the chopsticks 55 from the opening of the chopstick threading portion 54 to the other openings, one chopstick 55 is placed under the chopstick threading portion 54 on the plate main portion 51. Can be threaded. The description of each chopstick threading part is the same as that of the previous embodiment except that the cross section is divided into two.

Such a plate may be formed by molding or injection molding in the case of plastic or the like, but is generally formed by molding in the case of pulp and is generally formed by press molding in the case of a material such as paper. Target.

Yet another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a conceptual plan view of a plate showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a partial conceptual cross-sectional view of the chopstick holding portion, and FIG. 9 is a conceptual perspective view showing a state where the cup and the end are placed and held by hand. 10 is a conceptual sectional view showing the cup holding state, and FIG. 11 is a conceptual sectional view showing the chopstick holding state.

In the plate of this configuration, the plate main portion 71 has a flat plate shape, and a cutout 72 is provided from the outer edge toward the center, and a hole 73 is provided so that a cup can be fitted, and chopsticks can be further added. A chopstick rest recess 74 is provided as a chopstick holding structure for holding the dish on a plate.

If a flat portion is provided at the center of the plate main portion 71 ahead of the cutout 72, a thumb on the upper surface of the plate main portion 91 and an index finger on the lower surface of the plate main portion 91 that pass through the cutout 72 as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to stably sandwich between them, which makes it possible to hold the dish in a stable manner.

The end surface of the hole 73 is provided on the dish main portion 101 as shown in FIG. 10 so as to be inclined according to the inclination of the outer periphery of the cup 102, but it may be formed in another shape such as cutting perpendicular to the surface.

A chopstick rest recess 74 is provided as a chopstick holding structure. This is provided in a portion of the plate main portion 71 different from the cutout 72 and the hole 73. The position may be at the center of the plate main portion, but it is generally shifted from the center for the sake of serving food, and in particular, it is composed of a concave portion provided from the end portion of the plate main portion 81 to another end portion. Anything is fine.

In this case, as for the shape of the recess, it is common to use two chopsticks as a set, so it is common to provide two parallel recesses 83 as shown in FIG. 8, but place two together. It is also possible to provide one row of recesses having a width of two.

In the case of providing two parallel concave portions, it is preferable that the concave portion has a cross-sectional shape that matches the cross-sectional shape of the chopsticks, but considering the ease of taking out, it is preferable that the concave portions are slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape of the chopsticks. .. The depth of the recess does not have to be the same as the thickness of the chopsticks, and it is generally set shallower than the thickness of the chopsticks so that the chopsticks can be easily taken out. Since there is also some, it is preferable to make it an appropriate thickness.

Regarding the cross section, when the chopsticks are round chopsticks, an end surface having a semicircular shape or the like is preferable. In addition, it may not be possible to predict what kind of chopsticks will be used, and any shape may be used as long as the chopsticks are properly held and do not fall off. In this case, a part of the cross section may be thick so that the chopsticks can be easily picked up, or the recesses may not be continuous.

Further, the chopstick holding structure does not need to be a concave portion having a cross-sectional shape that matches the cross-sectional shape of the chopsticks. For example, the dish main portion 71 is provided with two or three protruding portions, and the chopsticks are temporarily fixed between them to attach to the dish. It may have a structure for temporarily fixing the chopsticks or a shape in which another notch is provided in the plate main portion 71 in an appropriate shape so that the chopsticks can be held therein.

FIG. 12 is a conceptual plan view of a dish showing an embodiment different from the above embodiments. This configuration differs from the embodiment of FIG. 7 in that a partition 125 is provided in addition to the above embodiment.

The partition 125 is for partitioning the plate main part 121 into a storage part so that the dishes and other objects are not mixed and the tastes are not mixed, and the partition 125 is partitioned into two partitions, three partitions, and other multiple partitions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is provided for partitioning the compartment on which the object is placed and the notch 122, the hole 123, and the chopstick recess 124 in order to prevent burns, stains on fingers, cups, and chopsticks. Alternatively, the plate may be provided at the end of the plate so as not to leak to the outside of the plate.

In this case, the partition 125 may have a cross-sectional shape with a thicker upper portion at that portion, but in the case of press molding or the like, it may be a dish with a uniform thickness in which the dish main portion 121 is bent upward. I do not care. The height of the partition 125 in this case can be set as appropriate, and it is sufficient if the height such as a dish or the like is prevented from protruding out of the compartment.

The plate main portion 11 is provided with a notch 12, a hole 13 and a chopstick passing portion 14. Therefore, the thumb of the hand could be hooked in the notch, and the plate main part could be sandwiched between the bent part of the index finger and the belly part of the index finger.

With such a structure, unlike the conventional case where the dish is held through the finger through the hole, even if the thickness of the finger is slightly different, it is possible to prevent the finger from biting into the end of the hole. , You can easily hold the plate, and since the holding of the finger is notched, you can easily remove the finger, if you can not remove the finger, for example if something like hot food gets on the finger Even now, it is possible to deal with it easily.

Furthermore, when the cup was inserted into the hole from above, the hole was larger than the lower end of the cup and smaller than the upper end of the cup, so that the cup could be fixed to the hole at the middle position of the body. Also, the cup could be easily removed from the hole by holding the top of the cup and raising it.

Furthermore, the chopsticks can be temporarily fixed between the chopstick passing part and the plate main part by passing the chopsticks through the chopstick passing part, and when using the chopsticks, the chopsticks can be easily pulled out from the plate. became.
