Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rice scoop, and particularly to a rice scoop that is light and inexpensive because rice is unlikely to adhere to it.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, wooden shavings have been used, but with the spread of plastics to household goods in recent years, plastic shavings have also come to be used. However, in a wooden rice scoop, it is possible to prevent the rice from adhering to the rice by adding water to the rice scoop, but in the plastic rice scoop, the general-purpose plastic that forms the rice scoop is Since it has adhesiveness, there is a problem that rice tends to adhere. Moreover, since plastics are generally water repellent, they are not suitable for preventing rice from adhering to water such as wooden scoops.

Therefore, for the purpose of solving such a problem, a scoop made entirely of non-adhesive fluororesin or a scissor having a surface treated with a fluororesin has come to be used. There is. By using a non-adhesive fluororesin on the surface of the rice scoop, it becomes possible to prevent the rice from sticking.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the case of a non-adhesive fluororesin-made surface, when the whole is made of fluororesin, there is a problem that the mass of the scoop increases and the usability deteriorates because the fluororesin has a large specific gravity. is there. Further, there is a problem that the fluororesin is about 20 times more expensive than polypropylene which is a general-purpose resin. Further, in the case of a scoop with a fluororesin treatment on the surface, there is a problem that the cost is also high because the scoop with a fluororesin treatment is lightweight. In addition, since the fluorine resin has low mechanical strength, the surface of the fluororesin processed is likely to be scratched, resulting in problems such as chipping.

By the way, after the rice is cooked, it is often difficult to place it until the rice is refilled, and recently, it is often placed on a stand attached to the rice cooker. However, as described above, since the scoops made of fluororesin are easily scratched, there is also a problem that scratches are likely to occur during repeated loading and unloading from the stand.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems and provide a lightweight and inexpensive rice scoop that is unlikely to have rice attached thereto. Another object of the present invention is to provide a scoop that includes a hook member that is not scratched when the scoop is placed.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The scoop 1 comprises a spatula member 2 made of a fluororesin which is a non-adhesive resin and a handle member 3 made of a general-purpose resin such as polypropylene. Examples of the fluororesin include non-adhesiveness, heat resistance, weather resistance, acid / alkali resistance, and other properties such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE: for example, DuPont's product name Teflon), and tetrafluoroethylene-6 hexafluoride. One or more selected from fluorinated propylene copolymer (FEP), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA), and tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ETFE) In particular, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP) and tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA) are particularly preferable. I like it. As shown in FIG. 2, the spatula member 2 has two fitting holes 4 and 4A spaced apart from each other in a flat portion on the base end side, and the handle member 3 has a tip end side to a base end side. The diameter is slightly reduced toward the front end, and fitting holes 5 and 5A are formed in the flat portion on the distal end side at the same intervals as the fitting holes 4 and 4A. The rod-shaped members 6 and 6A are inserted through the fitting holes 4, 5 and 4A, 5A, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A have substantially the same diameter as the fitting holes 4, 4A, 5 and 5A, and the tips 61 and 61A are slightly tapered.

The scoop 1 of the first embodiment, which is composed of the above-mentioned members, is fitted with, for example, one side of rod-shaped members 6 and 6A coated with an adhesive in the fitting holes 5 and 5A of the handle member 3 to make a spatula. By making the fitting holes 4 and 4A of the base end side flat part close to the part member 2 and inserting the other sides of the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A respectively, and bringing the base end side flat part and the tip end side flat part into contact with each other. It can be manufactured. In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, when the tips of the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A are formed by cutting or the like, the tips 61 and 61A are tapered and a slight step is formed. It is easy to insert and hard to pull out.

Reference numeral 7 is a hook member, and as shown in FIG. 3, an attachment surface 8 having an adhesive layer on one side and a U-shape larger than the base end of the handle member 3 and smaller than the tip end on the other side. 4, the attachment surface is adhered to the rice cooker S or the like so that the groove 9 is in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the scoop 1 is attached to the groove 9. The base member 3 can be fixed by sliding it from the base end side.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. It is possible to hold the rice by grasping the handle member 3 of the rice scoop 1. At this time, since the spatula member 1 is made of fluorine resin, which is a non-adhesive resin, it does not adhere even if it is cooked with rice. After the rice is cooked, the stalks 1 can be set upright by slidingly fitting the handle member 3 into the hook member 7 as shown in FIG. Moreover, since the spatula part is almost free of rice, it is hygienic.

As described above in detail, the scoop 1 of the first embodiment has a spatula member 2 made of a fluororesin, which is a non-adhesive resin, and a handle portion provided on the proximal end side of the spatula member 2. Since it consists of the member 3, it does not adhere to the spatula part even if rice is called, and only the spatula member with a thin expensive fluororesin is used, and the thick handle part is made of general-purpose resin. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Moreover, since the amount of fluororesin having a large specific gravity is small, it is possible to reduce the weight of the scoop. Particularly in this Example, the fluororesin was polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene tetrafluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer. (PFA) and one or more selected from tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ETFE), so that the non-adhesiveness is extremely good, and each of the fluororesins has good heat resistance. Therefore, it is suitable for serving freshly cooked rice. Further, in the above-described embodiment, two fitting holes 4 and 4A are formed at the base end side of the spatula member 2 so as to be spaced apart from each other, and two fitting holes 4 and 4A are formed at the tip end side of the handle member 3 as well. Fitting holes 5 and 5A are formed, and one of the fitting holes 4 and 4A of the spatula member 2 and one of the fitting holes 5 and 5A of the handle member are made to correspond to each other. Since the spatula member 2 and the handle portion member 3 are joined by fitting the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A into the 4A, 5, 5A, the spatula member 2 and the handle portion member 3 can be easily joined. . Particularly, in this embodiment, since the tips of the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A are slightly tapered, the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A are smoothly inserted into the respective insertion holes 4, 4A, 5 and 5A. Since the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A have substantially the same diameter as the respective fitting holes 4, 4A, 5 and 5A, it is difficult for the fitted rod-shaped members 6 and 6A to come off. After the rice is cooked, the handle portion 3 can be slid into the hook member 7 so that the rice scoop 1 can be set upright. At this time, the hook member 7 and the slide member can be slid together. The handle member 3 is made of a general-purpose resin such as polypropylene and is less likely to be scratched as compared with fluororesin.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The camouflage 1 of the second embodiment is a spatula member 2 made of a fluororesin, which is a non-adhesive resin, and a long rod-shaped metal body bent and formed in a U-shape. The spatula member 2 may be the same as that used in the first embodiment. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the handle portion member 3 formed of a long rod-shaped member has a diameter substantially the same as that of the fitting holes 4 and 4A, and the tip portions 31 and 31A are slightly tapered. The distance L1 between both ends 3A and 3B of the handle member 3 is slightly wider than the distance L2 between the fitting holes 4 and 4A of the spatula member 2. Both ends 3A and 3B of the handle member 3 are inserted through the fitting holes 4 and 4A, respectively.

The scoop 1 according to the second embodiment, which is composed of the above-described members, is applied to the fitting holes 4 and 4 A of the spatula member 2 by applying an adhesive agent to both ends 31 and 31 A of the handle member 3, for example. It can be manufactured by In particular, by forming the tip portions 31 and 31A of the handle portion member 3 by cutting or the like, the tip portions 31 and 31A are tapered and a slight step is formed, so that the handle portion members 3 and 3A can be easily inserted. , And it is hard to come off. Moreover, since the distance L1 between both ends 3A and 3B of the handle member 3 is slightly larger than the distance L2 between the fitting holes 4 and 4A, when the fitting members 4 and 4A are fitted, both ends 3A and 3B are inserted. Since the urging force is constantly exerted in the expanding direction, it is more difficult for the fitted handle member to come off.

Further, 7 is a hook member for the rice scoop 1 of the second embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 7, a long rod-shaped attachment surface 8 having an adhesive layer on one side and a handle member 3 on the other side. The ridge 9A has a semicircular cross section that is larger than the base end portion and has a locking groove 10 provided in a lower portion of the ridge 9A, and the ridge 9A is vertically arranged as shown in FIG. The attachment surface is adhered to the rice cooker S or the like so as to be oriented, and the handle portion member 3 of the rice scoop 1 is fitted into the protrusion 9A until it is locked in the locking groove 10 so as to be fixed. You can do it.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. It is possible to hold the rice by grasping the handle member 3 of the rice scoop 1. At this time, since the spatula member 1 is made of fluorine resin, which is a non-adhesive resin, it does not adhere even if it is cooked with rice. After the rice is cooked, the scoop 1 can be set upright by fitting the handle member 3 into the hook member 7 as shown in FIG. Moreover, the spatula part is almost free of rice, which is hygienic.

As described in detail above, in the scooping machine 1 of the second embodiment, since the handle member 3 is formed by bending a metal rod-shaped body into a long U-shape, the scooping machine 1 can be reduced in weight. Not only can it be achieved, but the mechanical strength of the handle, which does not require non-stickiness, can be improved. Further, two insertion holes 4 and 4A are formed at one end of the spatula member 2 so as to be spaced apart from each other, and both end portions 31 and 31A of the handle member 3 made of the metal rod-like member are respectively attached to the spatula member. Since the spatula member 2 and the handle portion member 3 are joined by being fitted into the fitting holes 4 and 4A of 2, the joint between the spatula member 2 and the handle portion member 3 made of a metal rod is easy. is there. Particularly, in this embodiment, since both ends 31, 31A of the handle member 3 are slightly tapered, the both ends 31, 31A of the handle member 3 are smoothly inserted into the respective fitting holes 4, 4A. Since the rod-shaped body forming the handle member 3 has a diameter substantially the same as that of each of the fitting holes 4 and 4A, it is difficult for the fitted handle member 3 to come off. Moreover, since the distance L1 between the both ends 3A, 3B of the handle member 3 is slightly larger than the distance L2 between the fitting holes 4, 4A, both ends 3A, 3B expand when fitted into the fitting holes 4, 4A. Since the urging force is constantly exerted in the direction in which the handle part is inserted, it is even more difficult for the fitted handle part member to come off. After the rice is cooked, the handle portion 3 can be fitted to the hook member 7 to set the rice scoop 1 in an upright position. At this time, the handle member to be fitted with the hook member 7 is provided. Since the member 3 is made of metal, it is less likely to be scratched as compared with fluororesin, and is light in weight because it is a rod-shaped member.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various applications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the shape of the scoop 1 is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, but may be various shapes. Also, in the first embodiment, the spatula member 2 made of fluororesin and the handle member 3 made of general-purpose resin are joined by the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A, but without using the rod-shaped members 6 and 6A. It is also possible to manufacture by combining two-color molding or the like in which the spatula part is made of fluororesin and the handle part is made of general-purpose resin when integrated.

[Effect of device]

 Since the scoop of claim 1 of the present invention comprises a non-adhesive resin spatula member and a handle member provided on one side of the spatula member, it adheres to the spatula portion even if rice is used. In addition, since the expensive non-adhesive resin is used only as the thin spatula member, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, in the scoop of claim 2, since the non-adhesive resin is a fluororesin, the amount of the fluororesin having a large specific gravity can be small, so that the scoop can be reduced in weight.

In the scoop of claim 3, the fluororesin is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer. Since it is one or more selected from polymers (PFA) and tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ETFE), it has very good non-adhesiveness, and each of the fluororesins has heat resistance. It is suitable for picking freshly cooked rice.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, since the handle member is made of a synthetic resin different from the fluororesin, not only can the weight of the rice scoop be reduced, but also the handle portion machine that does not require non-adhesiveness. The mechanical strength can be improved.

In the scooping machine according to claim 5, two fitting holes are formed apart from one end of the spatula member, and two fitting holes are separated from the other end of the handle member. Of the spatula member is made to correspond to one of the insert holes of the spatula member, and the rod member is fitted into the insert hole, thereby inserting the spatula member. Since the handle member and the handle member are joined together, the spatula member and the handle member made of synthetic resin can be joined easily.

In the scooping machine according to claim 6, since the tip end portion of the rod-shaped member is formed in a slightly tapered shape, the rod-shaped member can be smoothly fitted into the fitting hole, and the rod-shaped member can be fitted into the fitting hole. Since they have almost the same diameter, it is difficult for the inserted rod-shaped member to come off.

In the scooping machine according to claim 7, since the handle member is formed by bending a metal rod-like body into a long U-shape, not only can the scooping be made lightweight, but also non-sticking can be achieved. It is possible to improve the mechanical strength of the handle portion that is not required to have good properties.

In the scooping machine according to claim 8, two fitting holes are formed at one end of the spatula member so as to be spaced apart from each other, and both ends of the handle member made of the metal rod-shaped body are respectively connected to the spatula. Since the spatula member and the shank member are joined by fitting both ends of the shank member into the fitting holes in correspondence with the fitting holes of the member, the shank member made of the spatula member and the metal rod-shaped body is joined. Easy to join with members.

In the scooping machine according to claim 9, since the tip portion of the handle portion member is slightly tapered, the handle portion member can be smoothly fitted into the fitting hole, and the rod-shaped body Since the handle member made of has a diameter substantially the same as that of the fitting hole, it is difficult for the fitted handle member to come off. Further, since the spacing between the fitting holes of the spatula member is smaller than the spacing between both ends of the handle member made of the rod-shaped member, the rod-shaped member constituting the handle member fitted in the fitting hole tries to expand outward. Since it exerts a slight urging force, it is even more difficult for the fitted handle member to come off.

Furthermore, since the scoop of claim 10 is provided with a hook member that can be attached to a rice cooker that locks the handle part member of the scoop, the spatula member made of fluororesin that is easily scratched is scratched. There is nothing to do.
