Description

  The present invention relates to a gripping pad for gripping the edge of a heated pan handle or a container of food in a container heated by a microwave oven.

  An example of the gripping pad as described above is disclosed in JP-A-11-89733.

  FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the grip pad 100 described in the publication.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the grip pad 100 is formed in the center of the circular flat plate-shaped grip portion 101, the protruding member 102 formed at the center of the front surface 101 a of the grip portion 101, and the back surface 101 b of the grip portion 101. And an adhering portion 103 made of a magnet or a suction cup.

  The grip portion 101 is made of natural or synthetic rubber, for example, and has flexibility.

  5 and 6 are a plan view and a perspective view showing how to use the grip pad 100. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the palm is held against the surface 101 a of the grip pad 100. At this time, the protruding member 102 is sandwiched between the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the object 110 (such as a heated pan handle) is gripped on the back surface 101 b of the grip portion 101.

  The conventional grip pad 100 is held by sandwiching the protruding member 102 between the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112 as described above.

  In general, since it is difficult to put force between fingers, it is often difficult to hold an object between the fingers. For this reason, in the conventional grip pad 100, the protruding member 120 comes out from between the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112, and as a result, the grip pad 100 may be dropped.

  Furthermore, since the back surface 101b of the grip portion 101 is flat, the friction coefficient is small. For this reason, when trying to grip an object with the back surface 101b of the grip part 101, the back surface 101b of the grip part 101 slips, and it may be difficult to grip the object well.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems as described above, and can be easily held without requiring any force, and can generate a sufficient frictional force to grip an object. The object is to provide a gripping pad.

  Hereinafter, means for solving the above-described problems will be described using reference numerals used in “Embodiments of the Invention”. These reference numerals are added only for the purpose of clarifying the correspondence between the description of “Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration” and the description of “Mode for Invention”. It should not be used to interpret the technical scope of the device described in the claims.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a gripping pad (10, 20, 30) made of a heat resistant material, and a pad body (11) having a region (15) having a circular section in a longitudinal section. A plurality of rib members (12) formed on the concave surface (11a) side of the pad main body (11) and outward from the convex surface (11b) side of the pad main body (11) A gripping pad (10, 20, 30) comprising a tabular handle (13) formed so as to protrude is provided.

  It is preferable that a finger rib (21) protruding downward from the lower surface (13a) of the handle (13) is formed on the lower surface (13a) of the handle (13).

  The pad body (11) has an upper region (14) that is continuous with the region (15) above the region (15) having a circular cross section in a circular arc shape and that has a vertical cross section at the outer edge. In the upper region (14), a magnet (31) is preferably attached to the outer edge.

  First, the grip pad according to the present invention is easier to hold than the conventional grip pad 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the conventional grip pad 100 is held by sandwiching the protruding member 102 between the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112. Therefore, in order to securely hold the conventional grip pad 100, it is necessary to apply a force to the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112, but generally it is difficult to apply a force between the finger. For this reason, the conventional grip pad 100 may be dropped during use.

  On the other hand, in the grip pad according to the present invention, it is possible to hold the grip pad only by lightly pushing up the handle with the middle finger of the user. For this reason, it is possible to hold the grip pad more reliably with less force than the conventional grip pad 100.

  Second, the grasping pad according to the present invention is easier to grasp the object than the conventional grasping pad 100.

  The pad body of the grip pad according to the present invention has a region in which the longitudinal section forms an arc shape. For this reason, compared with the conventional grip pad 100 where the surface of the grip portion 101 is flat, it is easier to grip an object (such as a heated pan grip).

  Third, the gripping pad according to the present invention can obtain a larger frictional force than the conventional gripping pad 100.

  A plurality of rib members are formed on the surface of the pad body of the grip pad according to the present invention. When the object is gripped by the surface of the pad body, these rib members function as a slip stopper, and exert an effect of increasing the frictional force acting between the surface of the pad body and the object. For this reason, the grasping pad according to the present invention can obtain a larger frictional force than the conventional grasping pad 100 and can reliably grasp the object.

  Furthermore, since these rib members are present, the surface area of the surface of the pad body is increased, so that the thermal diffusion efficiency of the surface of the pad body can be increased.

  Further, by forming the finger ribs on the lower surface of the handle, the finger ribs can be locked by the user's finger, particularly the middle finger, so that the gripping pad can be reliably held.

  Furthermore, when the object is made of iron or other magnetic metal by providing a magnet, the pad body can be attached to the object via the rubber magnet, so the gap between the grip pad and the object can be reduced. The holding power can be increased.

1A is a plan view of a gripping pad 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1C is a front view of the gripping pad 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. (B) is sectional drawing in the AA of FIG.1 (c).

  The grip pad 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a pad main body 11, six rib members 12, and a handle 13.

  The pad main body 11, the rib member 12, and the handle 13 are integrally formed.

  Further, the grip pad 10 according to this embodiment is made of a heat resistant material. For example, the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment is made of a silicon resin having a heat resistant temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the pad main body 11 includes an upper region 14 in which the longitudinal section of the outer edge (or outer surface) 14a is a linear shape, and a lower region 15 in which the longitudinal section forms an arc shape. Yes.

  The upper region 14 and the lower region 15 are continuous with each other and are integrally formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (c), when viewed from the front of the gripping pad 10, the upper region 14 has a substantially arc shape, and the lower region 15 has a substantially rectangular shape.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, the outer edge 14 a of the upper region 14 is located outside the tip of each rib member 12. In other words, the tip of each rib member 12 does not protrude beyond the outer edge 14a of the upper region 14.

  The six rib members 12 are formed so as to protrude from the surface 11 a side which is a recess of the pad main body 11. The six rib members 12 are formed as line-shaped projecting members extending in the width direction W of the gripping pad 10. The rib members 12 are parallel to each other and are formed at equal intervals.

  Further, on the back surface 11 b side of the pad main body 11, a recess 12 a is formed corresponding to each of the six rib members 12.

  The handle 13 is formed so as to protrude outward from the back surface 11 b side which is the convex of the pad main body 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the handle 13 has a substantially semi-elliptical flat plate shape, and protrudes from the vicinity of the boundary between the upper region 14 and the lower region 15 of the pad body 11. Yes.

  Like the rib member 12, the handle 13 has a length extending in the width direction W of the pad main body 11 and is parallel to the rib member 12. Further, the handle 13 has a length of about 50% of the total width W1 of the pad body 11 in the width direction W of the pad body 11.

  The grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment having the above-described structure is used as follows.

  When using the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, the handle 13 is inserted between the index finger 51 and the middle finger 52 so that the index finger 51, the middle finger 52, and the ring finger are inserted. 53 and the little finger 54 are attached to the back surface 11 b of the pad main body 11.

  Next, the pad main body 11 is bent so that the object (such as a heated pan handle) is caught on the surface 11a side of the pad main body 11, and the object is gripped.

  According to the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained as compared with the conventional grip pad 100.

  First, the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment is easier to hold than the conventional grip pad 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the conventional grip pad 100 is held by sandwiching the protruding member 102 between the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112. Therefore, in order to securely hold the conventional grip pad 100, it is necessary to apply a force to the index finger 111 and the middle finger 112, but generally it is difficult to apply a force between the finger. For this reason, the grip pad 100 may be dropped during use of the conventional grip pad 100.

  On the other hand, in the gripping pad 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, it is possible to hold the gripping pad 10 only by lightly pushing up the handle 13 with the middle finger 52. . For this reason, it is possible to hold the grip pad 10 more securely with less force compared to the conventional grip pad 100.

  Secondly, the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment is easier to grip the object than the conventional grip pad 100.

  The pad main body 11 of the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment has a lower region 15 whose longitudinal section forms an arc shape.

  For this reason, compared with the conventional grip pad 100 where the surface of the grip portion 101 is flat, it is easier to grip an object (such as a heated pan grip).

  Third, the gripping pad 10 according to the present embodiment can obtain a larger frictional force than the conventional gripping pad 100.

  Six rib members 12 are formed on the surface 11a of the pad body 11 of the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment. When the object is gripped by the surface 11a of the pad main body 11, these rib members 12 function as anti-slip, and exert an effect of increasing the frictional force acting between the surface 11a of the pad main body 11 and the object. . For this reason, the grasping pad 10 according to the present embodiment can obtain a larger frictional force than the conventional grasping pad 100 and can reliably grasp an object.

  Furthermore, the presence of these rib members 12 increases the surface area of the surface 11a of the pad main body 11, so that the thermal diffusion efficiency of the surface 11a of the pad main body 11 is enhanced.

  Fourth, the user's safety measures are improved compared to the conventional grip pad 100.

  Since the grip portion 101 of the conventional grip pad 100 is circular, the user's finger (especially the little finger) comes out of the grip portion 101 and touches a heated object (eg, pan handle). There was a risk of it.

  On the other hand, the lower region 15 of the pad main body 11 of the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and has a larger area than the circular grip portion 101. For this reason, when the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment is held, the user's finger (particularly, the little finger) does not come out of the pad main body 11 and is used during use of the grip pad 10. The safety measures of the person are improved over the conventional grip pad 100.

  The grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above structure, and various modifications can be made as follows.

  Six rib members 12 are formed in the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment, but the number of rib members 12 is not limited to six, and the number of rib members 12 is arbitrarily selected. Can do. Moreover, the shape of the rib member 12 is not limited to a line shape, and various shapes can be selected. For example, the rib member 12 can be formed in a mesh shape.

  Further, the shape of the handle 13 is not limited to a semi-elliptical shape, and any shape may be used as long as the handle 13 has a flat plate shape and can be locked with a user's finger (in particular, the middle finger 52). The shape can be selected.

  Further, in the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment, the handle 13 is formed as having a length of about 50% of the total width W1 of the pad body 11 in the width direction W of the pad body 11. The ratio of the length of the pad body 11 to the total width W1 of the pad body 11 is not limited to 50%. Any numerical value can be selected. For example, the length of the handle 13 can be set equal to the entire width W 1 of the pad body 11 in the width direction W of the pad body 11.

  Further, in the grip pad 10 according to the present embodiment, the upper region 14 has a substantially arc shape and the lower region 15 has a substantially rectangular shape, but the shapes of the upper region 14 and the lower region 15 are those. It is not limited to this shape, and can take any shape.
