[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a pot used for cooking at home and the like.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Pots used for cooking at home and the like have a structure that includes a pot body that has an opening on the top and a handle on the outside, and a lid that is detachably mounted on the top of the pot body and closes the opening. Has become. In this type of conventional pot, the top surface of the pot body and the planer shape of the lid body have a small spout in the pot body, but are basically formed in a circular shape. Was.

[0003] For example, during cooking, there are cases where it is desired to open the lid slightly without opening the lid completely to emit steam or steam in the pot body. In such a case, in the conventional pan, since the top surface of the pan body and the planar shape of the lid are circular, the lid must be displaced eccentrically with respect to the pan main body. However, such a state where the lid is eccentrically placed on the pot body is unstable, and it is impossible to displace the lid well, or even if the lid can be placed, The lid may fall down from the pot body due to the impact of, or a part of the lid may fall into the cooking product of the pot body and become dirty.

Further, if the plane shape of the upper surface of the pot body is circular, no matter what part of the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the pot body is used, the pot body is tilted and the food inside the pot is poured out into dishes and the like. Occasionally, the food flowed out from a relatively large area around the top edge of the pot body, and it was easy for the food to spill outside the tableware.

[0005] The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and it is possible to stably and easily form an opening of an appropriate size between the periphery of the upper surface of the pot body and the periphery of the lid. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pot that can be easily poured out of the pot main body from the pot.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the pot according to the first aspect of the present invention has a pot main body having an opening on the upper surface and a handle provided on the outer side surface, and is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the pan main body to close the opening. A lid body, wherein the top surface of the pot body and the planar shape of the lid body are substantially the same shape, and the shape of the symmetry axis is one or less.

[0007] Thus, if the lid is turned in a horizontal direction with respect to the pot body, a deviation occurs between the planar shape of the upper surface of the pot body and the planar shape of the lid, and the periphery of the upper surface of the pan body and the periphery of the lid are generated. An opening of an appropriate size will be formed between and. In this manner, the steam or steam in the pot body can be appropriately discharged without fully opening the lid during cooking. In addition, since the shape of the axis of symmetry is one or less, a part having an inevitably large radius of curvature and a part having a small radius of curvature are generated at the periphery of the upper surface of the pot body. Therefore, if the food in the pot body is poured out from a portion having a small radius of curvature, the range in which the food flows out at the periphery of the upper surface of the pot body can be narrowed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a pot main body having an opening at an upper surface and a handle provided on an outer surface, and a detachably mounted upper surface of the pan main body to close the opening. The top surface of the pot main body and the planar shape of the lid form a circular portion whose both sides are located on substantially the same circumference, and a portion between the circular portions is outside the circumference. The shape is such that it forms a bulging portion that protrudes smoothly toward the direction.

If the lid is rotated with respect to the pot body while maintaining the concentricity of the circular portion, the swelling portion on the upper surface of the pot body and the swelling portion of the lid are displaced, and the periphery of the upper surface of the pot body is displaced. An opening of an appropriate size is formed between the lid and the periphery. In this way, the steam or steam in the pot body can be appropriately discharged without fully opening the lid during cooking. In addition, when the food is poured out from the pot body, if the food is poured out from the bulging portion, the range in which the food flows out at the periphery of the upper surface of the pot body becomes narrower.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the pot of the second aspect, the lid has a fitting portion fitted into an upper surface opening of the pan body, and the fitting portion has a planar shape. Is a circular shape that fits into the circular portion of the upper opening of the pot body.

[0011] With this configuration, the lid can be stably rotated with respect to the pan main body with the fitting of the circular portion of the upper surface opening of the pan main body and the circular fitting portion of the lid being as a matter of course. The eccentric position of the lid relative to the pot body can be prevented.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the pot of the second or third aspect, the bulging portions are provided on both sides of the pot body and the lid, respectively.

When pouring out the food from the pot body, either of the bulging portions can be used depending on the convenience.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the pot according to any one of the second to fourth aspects, the bulging portion of the pot body is provided at a position approximately 90 ° away from the handle.

When pouring out the food from the pot body, it is natural to turn the pot body around a horizontal line connecting the handle and the center of the pot body. Therefore, if the bulging portion is located at a position approximately 90 ° away from the handle, the operation of pouring the food can be easily performed.

The invention according to claim 6 is the pan according to any one of claims 2 to 5, wherein the handle is provided only at one place of the pan body, and the bulging portion of the pan body is provided with the handle. It is provided at a position further away from the handle than at a position 90 degrees away from the handle.

In the case where the handle is located only in one place of the pot body, that is, in the case of a one-handed pot, when the food is poured out from the body of the pot, it is easy to make the pot body slightly downward with respect to the handle. is there. Therefore, if the bulging portion is further away from the handle than at a position 90 ° away from the handle, the operation of pouring the food can be more easily performed.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the pot of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The pot in this embodiment is a one-handed pot. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pot body, and the pot body 1 has an upper surface opening to form an upper surface opening 2, and a handle 3 is protruded at one place on the outer surface. In the following description, the side having the handle 3 is referred to as a rear side. The peripheral edge of the upper surface of the pot body 1 is a flange portion 4 bent outward. The planar shape of the upper surface of the pot body 1 (the projected shape in the vertical direction with respect to the horizontal plane) is an irregular shape that is not circular. FIG. 5 shows details of this shape. In FIG. 5, the length dimension with "R" on the front side indicates the radius of curvature. The plan shape of the upper surface of the pot body 1 is a circular portion 6 whose front and rear sides are located on the same circumference. On the other hand, the left and right side portions between the circular portions 6 form bulging portions 7 which project smoothly outward from the circumference. The extension of the central axis of the handle 3 passes through the central axis a of the circular portion 6, but the bulging portion 7 is located at a position approximately 90 ° away from the handle 3. More specifically, a straight line from the central axis a of the circular portion 6 to the top 7a of each of the bulging portions 7 is directed to the side opposite to the handle 3 by 10 ° from the position 90 ° away from the handle 3. . Thus, the plane shape of the upper surface of the pot main body 1 is a shape having only one symmetry axis b. The axis of symmetry b is a straight line in the front-rear direction passing through the center axis a of the circular portion 6 and the handle 3. In addition, the plane shape of the lower surface side of the pot main body 1 is circular, and therefore, both left and right side surfaces of the pan main body 1 are inclined in a direction in which a space between them increases toward the upper side.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a lid. The lid 11 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the pot body 1 and closes the upper surface opening 2. A handle 12 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the lid 11. The planer shape of the lid 11 is the same as the planer shape of the upper surface of the pot body 1, has circular portions 13 on both sides, and has a swelling portion 14 between the circular portions 13. Have. In the periphery of the lid 11, a fitting portion 15 that fits into the upper surface opening 2 of the pot main body 1 is formed by bulging downward, and the planar shape of the fitting portion 15 is as follows. It has a circular shape that fits into the circular portion 6 of the top opening 2 of the pot body 1. That is, the radius of the fitting portion 15 is slightly smaller than the radius of the circular portion 13, but the circular portion 13 and the planar shape of the fitting portion 15 are concentric.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. In use, the object to be cooked is put in the pot body 1, the lid body 11 is put on the pot body 1 as needed, and the pot body 1 is heated with a stove or the like. When the upper surface opening 2 of the pot body 1 is completely closed, as shown by a solid line in FIG. 1, the lid 11 is placed on the upper surface of the pot body 1 in a state where the two flat shapes match.

If it is desired to open the lid 11 slightly during cooking without opening the lid 11 a little and to emit steam or steam in the pot body 1, as shown by a chain line in FIG. Rotate the lid 11 at an appropriate angle in the horizontal direction with respect to the pan body 1 as the center. Then, the swelling portion 7 of the pot body 1 and the swelling portion 14 of the lid body 11 are displaced, and the angle between the upper surface periphery of the pot body 1 and the periphery of the lid body 11 is turned by an angle. An opening 21 having an appropriate size is formed. Through this opening 21, steam and steam in the pot body 1 are discharged to the outside.

After cooking, the lid 11 is opened to take out the food from the pot body 1 and transfer it to tableware. When pouring the food from the pot body 1, the handle 3 is gripped. The pot body 1 is tilted, and the food is poured out from the bulging portion 7. The distal end side of the bulging portion 7 has a smaller radius of curvature than the other portion of the upper peripheral edge of the pot main body 1, so that the range over which the food flows out at the upper peripheral edge of the pan main body 1 is narrower. Therefore, it is possible to easily pour the food from the inside of the pot body 1, and it is possible to prevent the food from being spilled outside the tableware.

According to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, the top surface of the pot body 1 and the planar shape of the lid 11 are formed into the above-mentioned irregular shapes, so that the lid 11 can be simply rotated with respect to the pan body 1. An opening 21 of an appropriate size can be stably and easily formed between the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the pot body 1 and the peripheral edge of the lid 11. Moreover, the lid 11 can be turned while the circular fitting portion 15 of the lid 11 is fitted to the circular portion 6 of the upper opening 2 of the pot main body 1, so that the fitting can be used as a guide to cover the lid 11. Can be turned stably. Further, the fitting can prevent the eccentric position of the lid 11 with respect to the pot body 1 from being shifted. That is, even when the opening 21 is formed, the state of the lid 11 is stable, and the lid 11 falls down from the pot body 1 or a part of the lid 11 There is no danger of falling inside and getting dirty.

As described above, the food in the pot body 1 can be easily poured out using the bulging portion 7 of the pot body 1, but since the bulging portion 7 is on both sides of the pot body 1, Depending on whether the person is right-handed or left-handed, the position of the tableware, and the like, the two bulging portions 7 can be selectively used, and the usability is improved. In addition, when pouring food from the inside of the pot body 1, it is a natural operation to turn the pot body 1 around a horizontal line connecting the handle 3 and the center of the pot body 1. In this embodiment, however, Since the portion 7 is located at a position approximately 90 ° away from the handle 3, the operation of pouring out the food can be more easily performed. Furthermore, in the case of a one-handed pot like the present embodiment, when the food is poured out from the pot main body 1, it is easy to make the pot main body 1 slightly downward with respect to the handle 3. In the embodiment, since the bulging portion 7 is located at a position slightly further away from the handle 3 than at a position 90 ° away from the handle 3, the operation of pouring out the food can be further facilitated.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the planar shapes of the upper surface of the pot body and the lid are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment, but may be various shapes. For example, the shape may be such that there is no single axis of symmetry. However, if a shape having a symmetry axis is used as in the above-described embodiment, a sense of stability can be given to the appearance. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the bulging portion 7 is formed on both the left and right sides of the pan body 1, but the bulging portion may be formed on both front and rear sides of the pan body. In this case, the planar shape of the upper surface of the pot body 1 is close to the planar shape of the lid 11 indicated by the chain line in FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, the lower surface of the pot body 1 is circular, and only the upper surface of the pot body 1 is shaped differently. And the lower surface side of the pot body may have the same irregular shape as the upper surface side. Further, in the above embodiment, a one-handed pan is taken as an example, but the present invention is applicable to various pans other than the one-handed pan.
