Description

  The present invention relates to an ingredient support for scooping, separating and returning ingredients during cooking and eating, and more specifically, to handle ingredients even when placed directly on a cooking table or table. It is related with the foodstuff support tool which can keep a functional part clean without touching upper surfaces, such as a cooking table and a table.

  Traditionally, when cooking and eating, various kinds of functions such as scooping, separating, returning, and picking up ingredients, such as ladle, measuring spoon, turner, tongue, spatula, iron, spoon, fork, etc. Instruments are used. In the present invention, these instruments are collectively referred to as food support tools.

  When using such food support tools for cooking, sorting food, and eating, you can use several food support tools depending on the cooking process and type of cooking, or share one food support tool for several people There is also. In such a case, the unused food supporter can be placed in a cooking pan or on a lid, placed on a platter during a meal, or the food holder can be temporarily placed. A small dish or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1) has been used.

However, if you leave the food support in a cooking pan or the like, it will interfere with cooking or create a gap between it and the lid, and steam and heat will leak from this gap, contaminating the surroundings and loss of heat. In addition, when placed on the lid, there is a problem that the lid is soiled with food.
In addition, when the food support is temporarily placed on a small plate prepared in advance as in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to secure a place for placing the small plate, and the plate must be moved each time the place for placing the food support changes. It is troublesome. In addition, the food material adhering to the food material support tool may accumulate on the small plate and feel unclean, and there is a sense of resistance to temporarily placing the food material support device on the small plate again. On the other hand, it is cumbersome to frequently replace small dishes.

In addition, when placing a food support in the platter or at the end of a meal, the handle of the food support may touch the dish, and it is unclean, and if used after that, the hand becomes dirty. is there. In addition, when several people share one food support, for example, when sharing a tong for picking up bread at a self-service bakery, etc., the platter is packed with ingredients (eg bread). In other words, it may be difficult to place the food support (for example, tongs). Even when a stand for placing a food support (for example, tongs) is installed, when a person waiting for use of the food support (for example, tongs) is in a different place from the placement base However, there is a problem that efficient delivery is not possible.
In such a case, if the food support can be placed directly on the table next to the food platter, the above problem can be solved and it is very convenient, but such a food support has not yet been proposed.

  The food material support tool 1 of the present invention is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, a long food material support tool 1 having one end as a handle portion 2 and the other end as a food function portion 3, A leg portion 4 having a height at which the functional portion 3 is not grounded is provided near the functional portion 3 from the center of gravity of the food material support tool 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the food material support tool 1 of the present invention is a long instrument having one end as a handle portion 2 and the other end as a food function portion 3. Such a food material support tool 1 is preferably a spoon having a long handle with respect to the size of the functional part 3 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but is not limited thereto. For example, FIG. The functional part 3 like the measuring spoon shown in FIG. 4 is greatly bulged to one side, the functional part 3 is big like the turner shown in FIG. 4, and the functional part 3 as shown in FIG. A ball with a shape bent with respect to the handle, a turner with the functional portion 3 bent with respect to the handle as shown in FIG. 6, and a tong shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 May be.

The food material support tool 1 of the present invention is provided with a leg portion 4 between the handle portion 2 and the functional portion 3.
The shape of the leg 4 in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the function unit 3 can be lifted from the upper surface of a cooking table, a table, etc. For example, an overhang is formed at the base of the function unit 3 and the overhang is formed. A shape bent at a right angle from the base (see FIG. 1), a shape obtained by bending this overhang in an arc shape (see FIG. 2), or a shape in which a rectangular plate protrudes from the base portion of the functional unit 3 (see FIG. 3). It can be illustrated.

  In this invention, since the leg part 4 is provided near the function part 3 from the gravity center of the said foodstuff support tool 1, when placing the foodstuff support tool 1 of this invention on a cooking table, a table, etc., the leg part 4 is provided. Is grounded together with the handle portion 2 and functions to float the functional portion 3 from the upper surface of the cooking table or table. In addition, if the said leg part 4 is provided near the handle part 2 from a gravity center, the foodstuff support tool 1 will incline to the function part 3 side, and since this function part 3 will earth | ground, the meaning which provided the leg part 4 will be impaired. . Further, even if the function part 3 is closer to the center of gravity than the center of gravity, if the table on which the food material support is placed is slightly shaken, the function part 3 may be shaken and may not be stable. It is preferable to be provided around the middle of the center of gravity of the support 1 and the base of the functional part 3.

In the case of a food material support tool having a large functional part 3 such as a turner, the center of gravity is too biased toward the functional part 3 side, and the ground contact location of the leg part 4 may be limited. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 4, by providing a through hole 3a to lighten the functional part 3, or to thicken the handle and make the handle part 2 side heavy, It is preferable to move it to the 2 side.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the grip 2a for grip is provided on the handle 2, the grip 2a also serves as a weight, so that the center of gravity is further increased on the handle 2 side. Can be moved to. Thereby, the leg part 4 can be provided away from the functional part 3, and the leg part 4 can be prevented from getting in the way or dirty with the food material when handling the food material.
In addition, you may cast the holding | gripping tool 2a integrally with the handle | pattern of the foodstuff support tool 1, as shown in FIG.

Even if the functional part 3 or the handle is divided into two parts like a tongue, the food material support tool 1 of the present invention can be used. In this case, a leg portion 4 similar to that shown in FIG. 1 may be provided on one side of the handle divided into two branches as shown in FIG. 8, or it is divided into two branches as shown in FIG. Protruding portions protruding substantially in parallel one by one from both handles may be used as the leg portions 4. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10, a rectangular plate similar to that shown in FIG.
8 to 10, the leg 4 is drawn sideways or upward to show the leg 4 in an easy-to-understand manner. It goes without saying that it is placed in

The protruding direction of the leg part 4 is not particularly limited as long as the function part 3 can be lifted from the upper surface of a cooking table, a table or the like, but if it is too long, the leg part 4 may interfere with cooking or the like when handling ingredients. Therefore, it is preferable that the leg portion 4 is provided in such a direction that the leg portion 4 is not too close to the functional portion 3 and is as short as possible.
Specifically, for example, a turner in which a spoon or a functional part is attached straight, such that the functional part 3 is small or uneven, and has a shape that extends in a direction substantially parallel to the length direction of the handle, As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, it is preferable to project the functional portion 3 in a direction perpendicular to the spreading direction. Further, the protruding direction may be on either the front or back side, but it is preferable to provide the used food support 1 on the back side in that it can be placed on a cooking table or table as it is.

In the case of a food support 1 having a functional part 3 that bulges greatly on one side, such as a measuring spoon, as shown in FIG. 3, if the leg part 4 protrudes in the direction opposite to the bulging direction, Even if the protrusion height of the leg part 4 is low, the function part 3 can be appropriately floated from the upper surface of a cooking table, a table or the like, which is preferable.
Similarly, in the case of the food material support 1 in which the functional unit 3 is attached to the handle, such as a ladle or a general turner, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the direction opposite to the bending direction. It is preferable that the leg portion 4 is protruded because the functional portion 3 can be appropriately floated from the upper surface of the cooking table or table even if the protrusion height of the leg portion 4 is low.

In the case of the food material support tool 1 in which the functional part 3 or the handle is divided into two parts like a tongue, the leg part 4 may protrude in any direction, but if there is no particular problem, the food material support tool 1 is used. In this case, if the leg portion 4 protrudes in the lower direction, it is convenient because the functional portion 3 can be lifted from the upper surface of the table simply by placing it on the table after use.
However, in the case of the food support 1 for sandwiching ingredients that are easily deformed by being sandwiched like a salad or the like, the direction of sandwiching as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10 so as not to damage the ingredients when sandwiched It is preferable to project the leg 4 in the opposite direction. In addition, in the case of the food material support tool 1 for sandwiching food that touches and damages the leg portion 4 such as bread, the leg portion 4 is difficult to touch the food material when used as shown in FIG. It is preferable to project the leg portion 4 in the upward direction.

The food material support tool of the present invention can be manufactured by selecting an appropriate material from wooden, bamboo, resin, metal, etc. according to the properties of the food to be handled. In the case of a food material support tool that handles cold food materials, a resin material is preferable in terms of good moldability, light weight, and low cost. Such a resin is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polystyrene resins, vinyl chloride resins, polyamide resins, polyester resins, and polycarbonate resins.
In addition, in the case of a food support that handles hot food, it is preferably made of wood, bamboo, or metal, and more preferably made of metal that does not have to worry about burning or breaking, but it should be made of stainless steel because rust is less likely to occur. preferable.

As described above, the food material support tool of the present invention is provided with a leg portion having a height from which the functional part is not grounded near the function part from the center of gravity of the food material support tool. Even if it is placed directly on the table, the functional unit for handling the ingredients does not touch the upper surface of the cooking table or table, and the functional unit can be kept clean.
In addition, since it can be placed at any place such as a cooking table or a table, it is easy to use and is extremely convenient for cooking and eating.
