Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to rice scoops that are difficult to adhere to rice grains and can be used for purposes other than scooping cooked rice.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The conventional rice scoop has a problem that when scooping rice grains, the rice grains adhere to the rice scoop and are difficult to remove. In order to solve such a problem, in recent years, attempts have been made to prevent the adhesion of rice grains by applying a fluorine treatment to the scooping portion. Alternatively, the surface of the scooping portion is formed in an uneven shape, moisture is retained in the uneven portion, and water is supplied between the rice grain attached to the scooping portion and the scooping portion, so that the attached rice grain is detached. Attempts have also been made to make this easier.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The rice scoop described above effectively prevents the adhesion of rice grains, and is widely used. However, the above-mentioned fluorine-coated rice scoop may be damaged by, for example, a sharp instrument or the like, and the coat may be removed. In addition, in order to form the surface of the scooping part into an uneven shape, the scoop with a concave (recess) on the surface of the scooping part gradually accumulates dirt, and it is difficult to clean the scoop. There is a problem in keeping

[0004] Furthermore, all of the above rice scoops have only a primary role of scooping rice grains, and cannot be used for further purposes. Considering the recent housing situation where the storage space is small and the work efficiency of cooking, it is convenient if rice scoops can be used for other purposes. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a rice scoop that is hard to adhere to rice grains, that is easy to wash and can keep clean, and that cooking other than rice scoop is performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a scramble that can be used as an instrument.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following solutions. In other words, the scramble according to the present invention has a scooping portion and a grip portion protruding from the scooping portion in a direction opposite to a leading edge of the scooping portion, and has a large number of projections formed on at least an outer surface of the scooping portion. The projection is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape, or a substantially hemispherical protrusion is formed in a substantially conical shape on the tip end side. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to create an uneven state on the surface of the scooping portion without providing a dent (recess) on the surface of the scooping portion where dirt or the like easily accumulates. Can be replenished.

[0006] Furthermore, since the tip of the projection has a substantially conical shape, the tip of the projection is sharpened, so that it can be used as a grater for grinding vegetables and the like. Further, the protrusion may be provided up to an outer surface of the grip portion. With such a configuration, the projection can function as a non-slip. Further, an opening may be provided substantially at the center of the scooping portion. By adopting such a configuration, the material scooped down on the scooping portion surface can be taken out on the side opposite to that surface. Therefore, the grated food can be efficiently collected without the grated food being accumulated on the scooping portion surface.

[0007] Further, a fork portion having at least one groove formed from the leading edge toward the grip portion may be formed at a leading edge of the scooping portion. According to this configuration, the leading edge of the rice scoop is forked, which is suitable for scooping noodles and the like. Further, the scooping portion is provided with the projections on both the front side and the back side, and the size of the projections on the front side and the back side is different. According to such a configuration, when used as a rubbing device, the size of the projection is different between the front surface and the back surface, so that the rubbing condition can be changed, which is preferable.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a rice scoop according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of a rice sashimi according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of a projection 6 showing a part of the scooping portion 2 in an enlarged manner from a direction A in FIG. . FIG. 3 is a side view showing the shape of a substantially hemispherical projection in the same manner as FIG. The rice scoop 1 has a scooping portion 2 and a grip portion 3 protruding from the scooping portion 2 in a direction opposite to the scooping portion tip edge 2A side. Further, on the outer surface of the rice scoop 1, more specifically, on the outer surface of the scooping section 2, a large number of projections 6 are provided. The projections are provided to make the scooping portion 2 having a smooth surface uneven, so that moisture is retained in the uneven portion, and between the scooping portion 2 and the rice grains attached to the scooping portion 2. It can rehydrate and promote the detachment of rice grains.

[0009] In the present invention, the outer surface of the rice scoop includes all surfaces such as the front surface, the back surface, and the side surface of the rice scoop. The protrusion 6 in the present invention has a shape as shown in FIGS. That is, the projection 6 has a substantially hemispherical shape (FIG. 2), or the tip side of the substantially hemispherical projection is formed in a substantially conical shape. The distal end portion 6B is formed so as to have a substantially conical shape (FIG. 3). The substantially conical shape means that the conical shape is formed by a gentle curve, and in the case of a normal conical shape, the sharp vertex 6C is also formed in a slightly rounded shape. . Compared to the substantially hemispherical projection shown in FIG. 2, it can be said that the tip is slightly pointed.

It is preferable that the diameter 7B of the bottom surface portion of the distal end side 6B is formed slightly smaller than the diameter 7A of the bottom surface portion of the base side 6A. This is because the projection as a whole becomes thinner toward the tip of the projection, and the overall appearance is improved. Water enters between the projections 6, 6,..., And can supply water between the scooping unit 2 and the rice grains attached to the scooping unit 2. Therefore, the rice grains can easily be detached from the scooping section 2 without adhering. In addition, the surface of the scooping section is formed in an uneven shape by providing a projection on the surface of the scooping section, and it is not necessary to provide a depression (recess) on the surface of the scooping section 2. Therefore, there are no inconveniences such as the difficulty of the rice grains being caught in the depression and the accumulation of dirt in the depression.

If the shape of the projection 6 is as shown in FIG. 3, for example, vegetables such as radish, ginger, ginseng and the like can be grated. That is, the projection 6 is a member for preventing the adhesion of rice grains, and also a member for lowering. Therefore, it can be used as a rice scoop and as a grater. Further, since the projections 6 have a rounded shape as a whole, the contact with the rice grains and the like when scooping the rice grains and the like is soft, and the rice grains and the like are preferably not crushed when they are put on a bowl.

FIG. 4 is a second embodiment of the rice sashimi according to the present invention. The protrusion 6 is also provided on the outer surface of the grip portion 3. In this case, it can function as an anti-slip. FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the rice sashimi according to the present invention. Thus, the opening 8 is provided in the center of the scooping section 2. If such a configuration is employed, when vegetables or the like are grated as described above, the grated foods can be easily taken out from the back side of the rice scoop shown in the figure. Therefore, it is preferable that vegetables or the like are scooped down on the scooping section 2 without accumulation. The opening 8 is formed substantially in an oval shape in FIG. 5, but is not limited to this, and can be formed in any shape.

Further, the substantially central portion of the scooping section 2 means the most concave portion of the scooping section 2. Grated items tend to collect in these recesses. Therefore, if the opening 8 is provided in this portion, the grate work can be performed efficiently. Even if the opening 8 is provided, it is of course possible to scoop cooked rice, and it is also possible to scoop boiled food etc. while draining water just like a scoop. At this time, the size and shape of the opening 8 can be set as appropriate, but it is necessary that the size of the scoop does not drop.

The opening 8 is most preferably provided substantially at the center of the scooping portion 2 as described above, but may be provided at an appropriate position depending on the case. FIG. 6 is a fourth embodiment of the rice sashimi according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, a fork portion 12 having at least one groove 10 formed from the front edge 2A toward the grip portion 3 is formed on the front edge 2A of the scooping portion 2. The shape and number of the grooves 10 and the teeth 11 can be set as appropriate. If such a configuration is employed, for example, when vegetables or the like are worn down, the groove 10 can exhibit the same function as that of the above-described opening 8. Further, for example, when scooping noodles from a pan, the noodles can be hooked on the fork portion 12, which is preferable. Further, for example, when scooping solids such as cut vegetables, meat, fish, etc. from a pot, the water drops from the groove 10 and can be used as a device such as a peaball.

FIG. 7 is a side view of a fifth embodiment of the rice sashimi according to the present invention. As described above, the protrusions 6 can be provided on both the front surface 15 and the back surface 16 of the scooping unit 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the size of the protrusion on the front surface 15 and the size of the protrusion on the back surface 16 can be changed. In the figure, the protrusions on the front surface 15 are larger than the protrusions on the rear surface 16. When the size of the projection is substantially hemispherical, it is compared with the size corresponding to the diameter of the hemisphere. When the tip side is conical, the height of the substantially hemispherical base side 6A and the substantially conical tip side 6B (the height of the protrusion) or the bottom surface of the tip side 6B The comparison is made based on the size (diameter of the bottom surface of the projection) and the like of the diameter 7B of the portion and the diameter 7A of the bottom portion of the base side 6A. In FIG. 7, both the height of the protrusion and the diameter of the bottom surface of the protrusion are larger on the surface side.

When such a configuration is employed, when the rice scoop 1 is used as a rubbing machine, the degree of fine rubbing, rough rubbing, and rubbing can be changed, which is preferable. Note that the arrangement of the projections 6 is not particularly limited. They may be provided in a completely random state without any regularity, or may be provided regularly, for example, in a grid pattern. Also, the number can be set as appropriate. Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide it on the entire surface of the scooping section 2, for example, and it may be provided only in a partial range. The magnitude of the protrusion can also be set as appropriate.

The material of the rice scoop according to the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably made of synthetic resin. This is because it is light and durable, can be molded at low cost, and is fast and dries quickly.
