Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a container knob used when a ceramic, glass, or other container is used in a microwave oven, an oven, a rice cooker, or the like and the container becomes too hot to be held with bare hands. It is.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a cloth was often used as this kind of container knob.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in this case, the end of the cloth may touch the food in the container, which not only causes hygiene considerations, but also prevents the container from slipping from the hand because the hot container cannot be tightly clamped by the cloth. Was also conceived.

[0004] In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary container knob with a low risk of the container sliding down.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention has a plate-shaped elastic body (2) made of a heat-resistant material, and two fingertip engaging portions (5, 6) project in the same direction from the elastic body. It is configured as follows. By adopting such a configuration, the index finger (and the middle finger if necessary) and the thumb are engaged with the respective fingertip engaging portions, and if both fingers are brought closer in this state, the container knob (1) is used. It acts so that the edge of the container (7) can be gripped by pinching.

A second aspect of the present invention is configured such that the fingertip engaging portions (5, 6) are formed in a substantially hemispherical shape. With such a configuration, the forefinger and the thumb can be fitted to the fingertip engaging portions, and the container (7) can be pinched firmly.

According to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, the elastic body (2) is bent at a predetermined bending angle (α) in a projecting direction of the fingertip engaging portions (5, 6). Be composed. With such a configuration, the holding operation of the container (7) can be easily performed.

The invention according to claims 5 to 8 of the present invention is constituted by forming a hook hole (3) in the elastic body (2). With such a configuration, when the container knob (1) is not used, it is hung on a hook to save space and to help prevent loss.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing one embodiment of a container knob according to the present invention, wherein (a) is a plan view thereof, (b) is a right side view thereof, (c) is a front view thereof, FIG. 2D is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a use state of the container knob shown in FIG.

The container knob 1 is an integrally molded product made of silicone resin, and as shown in FIG. 1, is a plate-like member bent at a predetermined bending angle α (for example, α = 25 to 60 °) at the center. It has an elastic body 2. The elastic body 2 has a round hook hole 3 formed on one side (the right side in FIG. 1A), and two substantially hemispherical fingertip engaging portions 5 that match the fingertip shapes of the index finger and the thumb. , 6 project downward. Here, the bending direction of the elastic body 2 matches the projection direction (downward) of the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6.

Since the container knob 1 has the above configuration, when taking out the ceramic container 7 which has become hot in a microwave oven, an oven, a rice cooker, or the like, as shown in FIG. Then, the index finger and the thumb are engaged with the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6 of the container knob 1, respectively. In this state, the container knob 1 is moved above the edge of the container 7, and both fingers are moved closer to each other. The elastic body 2 is elastically deformed. Then, the index finger and the thumb are held in such a manner as to pinch the edge of the container 7 via the container knob 1. When the container 7 containing the food is heavy, as shown in FIG. 2, the grasping force can be increased by attaching the index finger to the middle finger.

At this time, since the elastic body 2 of the container knob 1 is bent at the center thereof by a predetermined bending angle α in the projecting direction of the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6, the holding operation of the container 7 can be easily performed. can do. In addition, there is no fear that the container knob 1 comes into contact with the food in the container 7, which is sanitary. In addition to the fact that the material of the container knob 1 is a silicone resin, that is, a material that is not slippery, the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6 of the container knob 1 match the fingertip shapes of the forefinger and thumb. Moreover, since the material of the container knob 1 is a silicone resin, that is, a heat-resistant material, the hot container 7 can be firmly grasped and gripped. Therefore, there is no danger of the container 7 slipping from the hand, and the safety during use is excellent.

When the container 7 has been taken out in this way, the index finger and the thumb, which previously held the edge of the container 7, are loosened. Then, the elastic body 2 is elastically deformed and tries to return to the original shape, so that the elastic body 2 maintains the state of being attached to the index finger and the thumb. There is no problem of falling off.

When the container knob 1 is not used, the hook hole 3 can be hung on a hook (not shown) so that the container knob 1 can be hung up. It also helps prevent it.

In the above embodiment, the container knob 1 having the plate-shaped elastic body 2 bent at a predetermined bending angle α has been described, but the shape of the elastic body 2 is not limited to this. Instead, a plate shape that is not bent may be used.

In the above embodiment, the container knob 1 made of silicone resin has been described. However, the material of the container knob 1 is not limited to silicone resin, and other materials may be used as long as they are heat-resistant materials. A material (for example, natural rubber) may be adopted.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the ceramic container 7 is taken out has been described. However, it is needless to say that the container knob 1 can be used for a container other than a ceramic container (for example, a glass container).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the container 7 is gripped by using one container knob 1 has been described. However, when the container 7 is large and heavy, the two container knobs 1 are used. It is also possible to pinch both ends of the container 7 in a well-balanced manner and securely hold it.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plate-shaped elastic body 2 made of a heat-resistant material, and two fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6 are attached to the elastic body 2. Are provided so as to protrude in the same direction, so that the index finger (and the middle finger if necessary) and the thumb are engaged with the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6 respectively, and in this state, both fingers are brought close to each other. Then, since the edge of the container 7 can be grasped in a form of being pinched via the container knob 1, the container 7 can be provided with less risk of slipping down of the container 7 and having a sanitary condition.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since each of the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6 is formed to be substantially hemispherical, the forefinger and the thumb can be connected to the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6. 6, the container 7 can be pinched firmly, so that the danger of the container 7 slipping down can be further reduced.

Further, according to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention, the elastic body 2 is formed by bending the elastic body 2 at a predetermined bending angle α in the projecting direction of the fingertip engaging portions 5 and 6. In addition, the holding operation of the container 7 can be easily performed, and the practicality is improved.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the hook 2 is formed in the elastic body 2 so that the hook is hung when the container knob 1 is not used. This saves space and helps to prevent loss, thus improving convenience.
