  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to provide a simple structure and inexpensive, compact, easy to wash rice without wet hands, It is an object of the present invention to provide a tabletop rice sharpener for home use in which the water pressure of tap water supplied from the plant and the flow of water to the overflow section are effectively applied to rice washing to increase the efficiency of rice washing.

  The tabletop rice sharpener according to the present invention that has solved the above-mentioned problem includes a tabletop-mounted container having a handle on a required side surface, and a lid provided with a water injection section and an overflow section covered with the container. On the front side of the lid, a frame-shaped operation handle is attached so that both leg ends are pivotally supported on the rear side surfaces of the lid so that the frame can be moved up and down. And a stirring member which swings forward and backward in the container is hung down. In such a tabletop rice cutter, the container is made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, which is long before and after, and a device provided with a measuring scale on a required side thereof is convenient for use. Device 2 is considered. In each of the above-mentioned inventions, a locking portion is provided at the front end of the lid so that the lid can be engaged with and disengaged from a locking projection at the front end of the container. By providing a detachable lock claw on the piece, and by properly fixing the lid to the container by these mechanisms, it is possible to prevent the lid from accidentally detaching during handling and popping out rice, and, furthermore, In each of the above-mentioned inventions, when the frame-shaped operation handle is turned down rearward and reaches the upper surface of the handle, a locking portion for holding the frame-shaped operation handle on the upper surface of the handle is provided on the upper surface of the handle. Thus, the frame-shaped operation handle can be held more accurately except when the frame-shaped operation handle is raised and lowered, so that the frame-shaped operation handle can be made more compact and good-looking. And Further, as the stirring member, a knob-like projection for promoting stirring is provided on a shaft connected to both leg ends of the frame-shaped operation handle on the back side of the lid and rotated forward and backward in conjunction with the up-and-down movement of the frame-shaped operation handle. The one provided with a plurality of stirring rods arranged integrally is preferable in terms of operation and stirring efficiency, and both the water injection part and the overflow part are plate-shaped, of which the water injection part is the upper surface of the lid. If it is provided in the short cylindrical part formed in the front part, while the overflow part is provided on the front side of the lid, it is extremely easy to simply tilt the whole slightly forward and repeat the up and down movement of the frame-shaped operation handle The rice can be washed, and these are claimed in claims 5 and 6. In addition, the container in each of the above-mentioned inventions is such that the bottom has a concave cross-sectional shape, and the length of the stirring member is longer at the center than at both sides corresponding to the concave bottom. It is particularly preferable for increasing the efficiency, and this is the subject matter of claim 7.

According to the present invention, a required amount of rice is placed in a table-top container having a handle on the rear side surface, and a lid having a water injection section and an overflow section is covered, and the lid is placed immediately below a faucet of a sink. If tap water is further supplied to the water injection section and the front and rear undulations of the frame-shaped operation handle are repeated, the rice immersed in water in the container causes the stirring member to swing in the front and rear direction by repeating the undulation operation of the frame-shaped operation handle. As a result, the rice is properly stirred and automatically washed, so that an appropriate amount of rice can be easily washed without wet hands. In addition, the water pressure of the tap water supplied from the water injection section and the water flow to the overflow section are made to effectively act on the rice washing, so that the rice washing efficiency is extremely high.
Moreover, the frame-shaped operation handle on the front side of the container can be moved up and down freely, and when not needed, it can be held upside down until it reaches the upper surface of the handle, so that it is compact and has a good appearance, and There are many advantages such as simple structure and no failure.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a table-top container having a handle 2 on the rear side surface. The container 1 is made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as a transparent or translucent polypropylene resin, and has a size of 100 mm in height and 100 mm in left and right width, while the front and rear length is 150 mm and the left and right width is 1, It is about 5 times longer, and the required side is provided with a weighing scale 3 for indicating the amount of rice, cup or ml for indicating the amount of water required for cooking rice, and the bottom has a sectional shape. Is formed in a concave arc shape, so that legs 4 are vertically suspended in a T-shape at front and rear positions to maintain stability. As a means for fixing the lid 11 covered on the container 1, in the illustrated example, a locking projection 5 is provided at the upper front end of the container 1 so as to be detachable from a locking hole 12 provided at the front end of the lid 11. At the same time, a locking portion 6 for locking a lock claw 13 provided at the rear end of the lid 11 is provided at the front end of the upper side of the handle 2.

  On the other hand, the lid 11 is shaped like an inverted dish made of a colored thermoplastic synthetic resin such as opaque polypropylene resin, and has a short leg fitted into the upper opening of the container 1. A perforated water injection portion 15 surrounded by a short cylindrical portion 14 bulging around is formed in the portion, and a perforated overflow portion 16 as shown is formed below the front portion. . Further, a frame-shaped operation handle 17 made of a thin band material of a synthetic resin such as an ABS resin is rotatably supported by the handle connecting portion on the rear side surface of the lid 11 with stop shafts at both leg ends. When the raising / lowering operation of the frame-shaped operation handle 17 is repeated, the lid 11 is stretched on the back side of the lid 11 so as to connect the stop shafts at both ends of the legs, which are the connecting portions of the frame-shaped operation handle 17. The rotating shaft which is not rotated is rotated forward and backward, and a stirring member 19 including a plurality of stirring rods 18 integrally formed therewith is swung back and forth in the container 1. In addition, the length of the stirring member 19 is such that the stirring bar 18 at the center is longer than the stirring bars 19 on both sides so as to correspond to the cross-sectional shape of the bottom of the container 1. A required number of knob-like projections 20 for promoting agitation are arranged in the intermediate portion.

Locking the locking projection 13 with the locking claw 13 and locking the locking claw 13 with the locking portion 6 ensures an accurate cover state. Then, the container 1 is carried so that the water injection unit 15 is located below the faucet of the sink, and as shown in FIG. 5, tap water is supplied from the faucet to the water injection unit 15 and the rice in the container 1 is immersed in the water. When water is injected up to this point, as shown in FIG. 6, while holding the handle 2 with one hand and pressing the container 1, the frame-shaped operation handle 17 is repeatedly raised and lowered in the front-rear direction with the other hand. In conjunction with this, the stirring member 19 hanging down from the back side of the lid 11 inside the container 1 repeats the swing in the front-back direction, and this operation is performed for about 10 to 20 seconds to perform the primary rice washing. In addition, when the amount of rice is small, the container 1 may be inclined slightly backward. Then, since the water inside the container 1 becomes cloudy after the primary washing, as shown in FIG. 6, the container 1 is tilted forward to remove the water from the perforated overflow portion 16 formed on the front side surface of the lid 11. Discard the juice. Thereafter, water was injected into the preparation 1 in the same manner as in the above-described secondary rice washing as the secondary rice washing, and the frame-shaped operating handle 17 was moved up and down to swing the stirring member 19 in the front-back direction. Wash rice repeatedly until water is clear. When the rice washing is completed in this way, the lock of the locking claw 13 with respect to the locking portion 6 is released, the locking of the locking hole 12 and the locking protruding piece 5 is released, and the lid 11 is removed from the container 1. What is necessary is just to put the amount of water for rice cooking with the measurement scale 3 as a guide in a container and transfer it to the rice cooker.
