Description

  The present invention relates to an eggplant used for arranging rice and boiled foods, and more particularly to an eggplant that can be placed substantially vertically after the eggplant is used.

  Conventionally, in the case of an insulator used for home use, such as an insulator for rice, the scooping portion is mainly plate-shaped and is substantially elliptical, and the surface is often provided with a smooth surface or a plurality of irregularities. . Moreover, in the eggplant for simmering simmered foods, what has a long handle part integrally with the concave scooping part is used.

  These eggplants are usually placed in a rice container (such as chicks) or a boiled food container after use, or a separate eggplant holder is prepared and placed there. In recent years, there have also been proposed ones in which a stabilizer is provided at the end of the handle and leans against a rice cooker (Patent Document 1), or ones that are hung on a separate eggplant holder (Patent Document 2). Yes.

Furthermore, as an improvement of the above-mentioned problem, the end of the insulator handle is formed flat, and after use, the end is brought into contact with the table surface so that the insulator itself can be placed vertically (Patent Document 3). ) Etc. are also proposed.

  All of the above-described conventional techniques maintain the cleanness of the scooping portion by placing the insulator itself upright, but when the insulator is stood up, the scooping portion is large relative to the size of the handle portion. This means that the center of gravity in the vertical direction is high, and the area of the end of the handle is small compared to the size of the scooping part, so even if it is placed upright, it is unstable and easy to tip over even with a slight external force. There is a problem.

  In order to improve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is formed so that the vertical center of gravity is positioned as low as possible when the scooping portion of the lever is lightened and stood, and the tip of the handle portion is An object of the present invention is to provide an insulator that has a large area and can be erected stably even if there are some unevenness and obstacles on the installation surface and is easy to grip.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a scooping portion 2 that is formed in a substantially circular and concave shape in plan view, and a substantially hollow cylindrical handle portion that extends from the outer peripheral edge 3 of the scooping portion so as to extend in the form of a skirt. 4, and a wavy projection 11 is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the handle tip 9 in the vertical direction (Claim 1).

  Furthermore, the insulator is formed of polypropylene resin or other synthetic resin, and has a double embossed surface provided with innumerable uneven portions on the inner and outer surfaces of the scooping portion and a plurality of small convex portions on the surface of the uneven portion. Can also be formed (claim 2).

  Further, the wavy protrusion 11 formed on the outer peripheral edge of the handle portion tip 9 may form at least three or more convex portions along the outer peripheral edge (Claim 3).

  According to the present invention, the scooping portion 2 is formed in a substantially circular and concave shape in a plan view, so that it can maintain a desired strength even if it is formed thinner than the conventional one, and it is also lightweight when placed upright. The center of gravity position in the direction can be positioned as low as possible. Furthermore, the handle portion 4 extends from the outer periphery of the scooping portion 2 into a substantially hollow cylindrical shape and has a wavy protrusion 11 in the vertical direction on the outer peripheral edge of the handle portion tip 9. The handle part itself is also light in weight, the diameter of the end part can be increased, and since there are a plurality of contact points with the installation part, the handle part can be stably set up and easily gripped (claim 1).

  Further, double embossing in which the entire insulator is integrally formed of polypropylene resin or other synthetic resin, and innumerable uneven portions are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the scooping portion 2 and a plurality of small convex portions are further provided on the surface of the uneven portion. By molding the surface, it is easy to stir the ingredients when serving rice or boiled food, and there is little adhesion of sticky food such as rice (Claim 2).

  In addition, the wavy protrusion formed on the outer peripheral edge of the handle portion tip has at least three or more convex portions along the outer peripheral edge, so that there was some unevenness or obstacle on the installation surface. However, since a plurality of contact points with the installation portion are generated, it is possible to stand more stably (Claim 3).

  A substantially circular and concave scooping portion 2 that is integrally molded of polypropylene resin or other synthetic resin, and a substantially hollow cylindrical handle portion 4 that extends from the outer peripheral edge of the scooping portion to a substantially hem shape. And the wavy protrusion 11 of a wavy shape is formed in the vertical direction at the outer peripheral edge of the tip of the handle.

  As a result, the scooping portion also becomes light and the vertical center of gravity of the lever is located as low as possible even when the lever is erected, and is installed by the wavy projections 11 formed on the outer peripheral edge of the handle tip. There are multiple points of contact with the part, and installation stability is further increased.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The insulator 1 is composed of a scooping portion 2 integrally molded of polypropylene resin or other synthetic resin, and a substantially hollow cylindrical handle portion 4 extending from the outer peripheral edge 3 of the scooping portion in a substantially flared shape in the radial direction. The outline of the scooping portion is substantially circular in plan view, and its central portion is formed in a concave shape, and the thickness thereof is a thickness (approximately 1 to 2) that is strong enough to hold various foods. It is thin and lightweight (about millimeters).

  In addition, when the lion is erected by engraving an arbitrary pattern or character pattern on the concave surface, it gives an image like a girl wearing a shaved skirt or a girl wearing a skirt. It has a friendly form. Further, if the insulator 1 is colored and molded, several types are prepared, and can be selected and used according to preference.

  At the same time, on the inner and outer surfaces of the scooping portion, that is, on the surfaces 5 and 6 (FIG. 3), a plurality of substantially semicircular concavo-convex portions 7 having a height of 150 to 300 μm and 30 to 30 centimeters on the surface of the concavo-convex portions. A plurality of small convex portions (texture surfaces) 8 having 140 μm are scattered innumerably to form a double embossed surface (FIG. 4). The details of the double embossing have been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-269274 filed by the inventor, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, the handle portion 4 extends from the outer peripheral edge 3 of the scooping portion into a hollow cylindrical shape extending substantially in the radial direction, and is approximately 1 to 2 millimeters thick. A plurality of corrugated protrusions 11 are formed along the outer peripheral edge 10 in the vertical direction.

The wavy projections 11 are formed as a plurality of convex portions (five in this embodiment) formed by continuous substantially curved lines as shown in FIG. 5, and the number is preferably an odd number of three or more. Needless to say, the wavy curve forming the irregularities is not limited to this, and may be a discontinuous curve.

  The present invention is constructed as described above, and the scooping portion 2 is substantially circular and has a concave surface, and the surface forms a double embossed surface, so that there are few contact portions with foods, and the releasability from the insulator is also low. Good. In addition, since a certain amount of rice or food can be brewed, it is easy to arrange the food without spilling out of the eggplant, especially when the cooked product is transferred from the cooking container to the tableware. Further, since the scooping portion is concave, it can be used for measuring rice, water and other foods.

  Furthermore, since the thickness of the scooping part 2 itself is relatively thin and light, the vertical center of gravity of the lever 1 is set as close to the tip part 9 side of the handle part 4 as possible. Therefore, the vertical center of gravity is low even when standing at a predetermined place after use of the lever, so that the installation stability is also increased.

  In addition, since a plurality of wavy projections 11 are formed on the handle tip 9, there are a plurality of contact points with the installation surface, and the installation stability of the insulator is further improved and it is difficult to fall down. Even if it is used as a toy, it has many features such as being free from corners on the entire insulator and having a proper bulge and thickness and being easy to grip.

  As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, the shape of the scooping part 2 of this invention insulator 1 is not restricted circularly like the Example mentioned above, For example, a deformed circle shape, such as an ellipse, may be sufficient, and also the handle | pattern part 4 The shape is not just a reverse-tapered shape that spreads at the bottom, but it may be easy to use, for example, by having a bulge in the center and providing irregularities at the gripping position, or it may be made smaller and formed into the shape of a spoon for infants In short, it suffices that the skirt expands toward the tip of the handle, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

It is a front view of this invention insulator. It is a side view of this invention insulator. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of this invention insulator. It is an expansion explanatory view of a double embossed surface. It is a perspective view which shows the shape of the handle | tip part of a lever.
