DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spill-prevention pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A substantially horizontal or downwardly inclined step is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral edge of an upper opening of a pot body so that the diameter of the opening above the step becomes larger than that below the step. The hot pot composed in is popular.

[0003] In other words, a pot having a structure in which a large-diameter rising peripheral wall portion is continuously provided on the upper portion of the pot body via a step portion is popular.

[0004] In such a pan, since the upper opening edge is provided with a large diameter, it is difficult for the pan to spill over.

That is, when noodles are boiled, for example, they are hardly spilled over and are very convenient.

[0006]

However, in such a spillover prevention pot, the upper stepped portion also functions as an engagement portion of the pot lid, which is convenient in this respect. If the body is locked to the step and closed, the spill is likely to occur.

[0007] In particular, when a glass lid which is edged with metal is used as a pot lid, the glass lid is not provided with a steam hole, and thus is more easily spilled.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an epoch-making pot excellent in mass productivity with a simple structure which is hard to spill even when the pot lid is turned down.

[0009]

The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment of the present invention (how to implement the invention), which is considered to be the best, will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, showing its operational effects.

Even when the pot lid 4 is placed on the pot main body 1, the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 does not simply come into contact with the step 3 on the upper part of the pan main body 1 in an abutting manner, as in the prior art. The pot cover 4 is abutted and locked on a support protrusion 6 provided at a predetermined interval on the step 3, so that the pot cover 4 is provided between the periphery of the pot cover 4 and the step 3. A floating gap 7 is generated by being placed in a slightly floating state via the portion 6.

Since the floating gap 7 and the peripheral gap 5 between the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 and the upper inner peripheral surface of the pan body 1 communicate with each other, the steam can be satisfactorily distributed from substantially the entire circumference to the upper inner peripheral surface with a large diameter. Therefore, even if the pot lid 4 is placed on the pot body 1, the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 and the stepped portion 3 face each other over substantially the entire circumference, and the inside of the pot body 1 is covered with the pot lid. Since it is not blocked by the body 4, the pot is difficult to wipe off.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the present embodiment, a stepped portion 3 is provided in the middle of the rising peripheral wall of the pot main body 1 in a downwardly inclined state, and a rising peripheral wall having a large opening diameter is formed on the upper part of the stepped portion 3. The present invention is applied to a vertical wall type pot that prevents spillover.

In the present embodiment, a supporting projection 6 is provided at a predetermined distance from the step portion 3 so that the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 can abut on the peripheral portion of the pot lid 4 and the step portion 3. A floating gap 7 communicating with the circumferential gap 5 (gap between the lid positions) is formed therebetween.

Therefore, even if the pot lid 4 is laid down on the pot body 1,
Instead of the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 being simply abutted and engaged with the step 3 on the upper portion of the pot body 1 as in the prior art, a support projection provided at a predetermined interval on the step 3 6, the pot cover 4 is placed between the peripheral edge of the pot cover 4 and the step 3 in a slightly floating state via the support protrusion 6. A floating gap 7 occurs.

Since the floating gap 7 and the peripheral gap 5 between the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 and the upper inner peripheral surface of the pan main body 1 communicate with each other, the steam can be satisfactorily distributed from substantially the entire circumference to the upper inner peripheral surface with a large diameter. Therefore, even if the pot lid 4 is placed on the pot body 1, the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 and the stepped portion 3 face each other over substantially the entire circumference, and the inside of the pot body 1 is covered with the pot lid. Since it is not blocked by the body 4, the pot is difficult to wipe off.

In particular, the glass lid as in this embodiment is
In the case of using the glass lid, since the glass lid itself does not have a steam exhaust hole, the internal steam is exhausted more favorably than in the conventional example, and it is difficult to spill over.

Further, the peripheral edge of a tray body 8 having a steam ejection hole 11 housed and installed in the pot main body 1 is locked at the stepped portion 3, and the tray body 8 is closed and installed in the upper opening of the pan main body 1. In this state, the peripheral edge of the pot lid 4 is locked on the peripheral edge of the tray body 8 locked to the step portion 3 so that the pot lid 4 can be closed and erected at the upper opening of the tray body 8. The present invention exerts an epoch-making action and effect also when it is configured in the steam cooking pot configured as described above.

In this steam cooking pot, for example, when water is put into the pot body 1 and the food is put on the tray body 8 and heated, the food is heated via the tray body 8 by the boiling steam heat and the steam is heated. The steam is spouted from the spout hole 11 into the inside of the tray body 8 to be steamed and cooked.

In such a steam cooking pot, the steam passes along the inner surface of the pot lid 4 and drops down to the step 3 on the periphery. At this time, the tray 8 is placed on the step 3 by the support projection 6. Because the periphery of is locked in a floating state,
Since the floating gap 7 is formed between the tray body 8 and the stepped portion 3, the floating gap 7 is separated from the floating gap 7 via the circumferential gap 5 between the peripheral edge of the tray body 8 and the large-diameter inner peripheral surface of the pot body 1. Water drops on the pot body 1
It will flow into and be reduced.

Conventionally, in such a steam cooking pot,
In order to improve the flow-in and reduction of the water droplets of the steam, a dedicated pot having a cut-in portion with a cut-in portion of the step portion 3 is generally used. It is not necessary to use a special pan having the above-mentioned configuration, but a pan provided with the support protrusions 6 on a general spill-prevention pan can be used.

In the present embodiment, an upper bent protruding portion 10 having a concave back surface is provided in several places around the horizontal flange 9 at the peripheral edge of the tray body 8 which is engaged with the stepped portion 3 from the peripheral edge toward the inside. Only a predetermined range is formed.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the pot lid 4 is placed on the bent protruding portion 10, the steam drops falling along the inclined back surface of the pot lid 4 are not removed. 4 falls from the floating gap 7 between the peripheral horizontal flange 9 of the tray body 8 and the peripheral horizontal flange 9 of the tray body 8, and furthermore, the outer peripheral edge of the tray body 8 due to the looseness of the tray body and the pot body 1 through the floating gap 7 between the peripheral horizontal flange 9 of the tray body 8 and the step 3 and into the storage portion of the pot body 1.

Even if the reduction mechanism is not sufficient, the steam droplets on the peripheral horizontal flange 9 reach the bent protrusion 10 and reach the bent recess formed on the back surface of the bent protrusion 10 when reaching the bent protrusion 10. The peripheral horizontal flange portion 9 upper surface side and the pot body 1 by the step portion 3
Of the pot, and flows into the storage section of the pot body 1 reliably, so that the reducing function is reliably performed.

The bent protruding portions 10 of this embodiment are provided at four locations, and are formed from the outer peripheral edge of the peripheral horizontal flange portion 9 to the inner base end continuous portion. It is curved by pressing. Therefore, the bent protrusion 10
Between the stepped portion 3 and the trumpet-shaped dome-shaped bent concave portion formed on the back side of the front end, the floating gap 7 is communicated, and the upper peripheral side of the peripheral horizontal flange portion 9 and the storage portion side of the pot body 1 are connected. A communicating water gap 12 is formed.

[0032] Incidentally, the bent protrusion 10 is not limited to this embodiment, the shape-forming method, forming speed, etc. as they can be designed appropriately, the communicating passage mechanism (steam reduction function) as well as pot lid mounting mechanism, it is desirable to design in consideration that you not to apply the manufacturing cost.

For commercialization, this product is provided with a support projection 6 on a general-purpose pan and is sold together with the tray 8 and the pan lid 4 (glass lid for steam cooking). Is also good.

[0034]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the internal steam can be satisfactorily discharged by merely providing the support projection on the step, and the pot lid is engaged with the step to attach the pot lid to the pot body. Even if the pot lid is turned down, it is an epoch-making pot that does not easily spill over as in the past.

Further, even when the tray body is locked on the stepped portion when used as a steam cooking pot, a floating gap is formed between the tray body and the stepped portion, so that water droplets traveling down the back face of the pot lid may be dropped. It is an epoch-making pot suitable for steam cooking pots that is easy to flow into and reduce.

In addition, the epoch-making steam cooker which can surely fulfill the steam reducing function simply by forming the bent protruding portion on the peripheral horizontal flange portion of the tray body by pressing or the like as in the embodiment. It becomes a pot that realizes a pot.
