Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for squeezing out water from an article containing a large amount of water, which is convenient for squeezing water soaked in spinach, apple juice, or orange juice, for example.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to squeeze out the water from the boiled spinach, the method of squeezing it with a hand, or wrapping the boiled spinach in a cloth or gauze and pressing it with your hand, was used.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, a device for squeezing fruit juice such as apples after grabbing with a grater has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-35328. a is a saucer for collecting juice, and a net c with a frame is placed on the stepped portion b, and a grater plate d is placed on the saucer a to grate fruits such as apples. When the grated fruit accumulates on the framed net c, the grate plate d is removed, and instead, the lid lid e is placed on the framed net c and the lid lid e is pushed down. By the pressure between and, the apple juice is squeezed out and accumulated in the saucer a.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, squeezing by hand as described above has the following drawbacks. (1) Immediately after boiling spinach with hot water, it was hot and could not be squeezed by hand.

(2) When squeezed by squeezing with a hand, the hand may be soiled with the juice from the spinach that has been boiled, or a small piece of spinach, etc. may get into the nail and stain it green. Moreover, it is unsanitary. (3) If you squeeze with a cloth or gauze, the cloth or gauze will be dyed in green, so you need to wash it off each time.

On the other hand, if the grater is equipped with a net c with a frame and a cover e as shown in FIG. 7, it can be used for squeezing the water content of the spinach that has been boiled. However, although it is not necessary to squeeze it by hand, since the strength of the framed net c is weak, a large amount of spinach cannot be squeezed and water cannot be squeezed out reliably.

Further, when squeezing citrus juice such as mandarin orange, it is necessary to press with a large force, but this is not applicable because the strength of the framed net c is weak. Since the sling lid e is thin, it is pushed out between the outer circumference of the sling lid e and the inner circumference of the tray a in the pulp state before the water is squeezed out, and the water cannot be surely squeezed. Waste occurs.

The technical problem of the present invention is to pay attention to such a problem, it is not necessary to hold and squeeze by hand, and it is possible to easily and surely squeeze with a device having a simple structure and handling, and it is inexpensive. To realize a simple squeezer.

【Example】

 Next, practical examples of how the wringer according to the present invention is embodied will be described. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view showing an embodiment having a large number of minute holes on the bottom and side walls of an outer container. The outer container 1 has a cylindrical shape with an open upper side, and a large number of small through holes h1 are formed in the bottom 1a thereof, and a large number of small through holes h2 are formed in the side wall 1b.

The push lid 2 in the illustrated example has a cylindrical shape, and when inserted into the outer container 1, a minute gap is formed between the outer circumference 2 o of the push lid 2 and the inner circumference 1 i of the outer container 1. The outer diameter of the push lid 2 is made slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the outer container 1 so as to be able to do so.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a usage state of the wringer of this embodiment. In the outer container 1, an object whose water content is squeezed, such as spinach S that has been boiled, is placed and placed on the outer container 1. Insert the push cover 2 from there and press it down by hand. Then, the water extruded from the spinach S is discharged to the outside through the through hole h1 at the bottom of the outer container 1 or the through hole h2 at the side wall, so that the spinach can be soaked.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which a collar portion is provided, and as in claim 2, the outer container 1 has a collar portion 3a and an upper portion of the push lid 2 has a collar portion 3b. There is. Therefore, like the example of FIG. 6, four fingers f2 other than the thumb are attached below the brim portion 3a of the outer container 1, and the thumb f1 is put above the brim portion 3b of the push lid 2 so as to sandwich it from above and below. If you apply force to, you can squeeze it with a simple operation.

Further, if the notch portions 4a and 4b having no rib portion are arranged to face each other instead of providing the brim portion on the entire circumference of the outer container 1, it is possible to remove the push lid 2 from the outer container 1 after the squeezing operation. It will be easy.

That is, in a state in which the push lid 2 is inserted into the outer container 1, a finger is put on the lower surface of the brim portion 3b of the push lid 2 in the cutout portions 4a and 4b to move the push lid 2 upward. The pushing lid 2 can be easily separated from the outer container 1 by applying a force so as to lift it. The brim 3b at the upper end of the push lid 2 does not have to be provided all around, and may be partially provided.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the outer container 1 and the push lid 2 are polygonal, in which (a) is a regular quadrangle and (b) is a regular hexagon. The pushing lid 2 may be formed into a polygonal tubular shape by opening the upper side as in the embodiment of FIG. In addition to these, polygonal shapes such as triangles and pentagons and elliptical shapes may be used.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, the through hole h3 of the side wall 1b of the outer container 1 has a slit shape that is long in the vertical direction. The through hole of the bottom portion 1a may also be slit-shaped, but the through hole may have a shape other than these.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the push lid 2 is also provided with a through hole. That is, the push lid 2 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and the through hole h4 is opened in the bottom portion 2a thereof. Therefore, as shown in the figure, when the spinach S or the like is put in the outer container 1 and the push lid 2 is inserted from above to squeeze out the water content of the spinach, the squeezed water is removed from the bottom of the push lid 2. Since it is also discharged from the through hole h 4, the water can be squeezed out efficiently and quickly. At this time, the water discharged into the push lid 2 can be easily drained by turning the outer container 1 and the push lid 2 in the illustrated state upside down or by tilting them about 90 degrees.

When the squeezed water is discarded, it is effective to open a through hole h4 in the bottom portion 2a of the push lid 2 as in the embodiment of FIG. 5, but it is necessary to squeeze fruit juice. In this case, the bottom 2a of the push lid 2 has no through hole. In the case of fruits grated with a grater, it is better to put them between the outer container 1 and the push lid 2 in a state wrapped in gauze or the like.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 6, when a saucer 5 is provided below the bottom portion 1 a of the outer container 1 so that the juice squeezed out of the mandarin orange O is collected in the saucer 5, the saucer 5 is placed on the sink. You can easily squeeze it not only on the table but also on the table. In addition, 6 is a spout and 7 is a handle part. The outer container 1 and the push lid 2 in each of the above embodiments may be made of synthetic resin or metal.
