However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, although a vacuum suction action is generated, the structure is complicated, and it is considered that the vacuum suction action cannot be instantaneously generated when the container is covered. Note that Patent Document 3 does not describe the vacuum suction action.
On the other hand, all of the above-mentioned patent documents are used for storage in a refrigerator or heating a container in a microwave oven and cannot be used for other purposes. Even if it takes a look, since many lids are used, it is expected to further widen the combined use. In other words, it is expected that a vacuum adsorption action can be generated and used for other usages.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum suction action that pulls out air instantaneously when a container lid or the like is used, and as a table for a table that does not move due to the vacuum suction action. Is to provide a lid that can be used widely.

  The lid of the present invention is a lid made of flexible synthetic resin such as silicone rubber having a function as a lid, wherein a vent hole is formed in a predetermined portion of the lid so that the lid is a predetermined portion of the container. When the cover body is placed over or at a predetermined location such as a table surface, the shape of the lid body is changed using the flexibility of the lid body, and the vent hole is formed on the surface of the predetermined location. It is characterized in that a vacuum adsorbing action is produced by bringing these into contact with each other.

  According to the present invention, with the lid placed at a predetermined location such as a table surface, the shape of the lid is changed using the flexibility of the lid, so that air is discharged from the outer peripheral side of the lid. Since it creates a vacuum suction action by bringing the vent hole into contact with the surface of the predetermined place, it can be used as a stand for a stationary object (potbed or display stand) that sucks like a suction cup and does not move. Can do.

Further, the lid of the present invention is a lid made of a synthetic resin having flexibility such as silicone rubber having a function as a lid, wherein a notch for bending the lid from a predetermined position is formed. When placing the body so as to cover a predetermined portion of the container, or when placing the body on a predetermined portion such as a table surface, utilizing the flexibility of the lid and / or bending from the notch Using this, the shape of the lid is changed to produce a vacuum adsorption action.
According to the present invention, when the cover is put on the container, the flexibility of the cover is used, or the bending from the notch is used, or both of these actions are used to remove air. Then, a vacuum adsorption action is produced and the lid is closed. By bending the lid from the notch, it is possible to abruptly generate a vacuum adsorption action for extracting air from the vent hole. Thus, if the container with the lid | cover is preserve | saved in a refrigerator etc., the foodstuff in a container can be made hard to rot. In addition, a lid (cover) means what covers a mouth or a hole of a container or a box so as to cover something (Kojien), and in this specification, “has a function as a lid” Regardless of its shape, as used above, it is used to mean something that covers or covers a mouth or hole of a container or box.

  In addition, the lid of the present invention is a lid made of synthetic resin having flexibility such as silicone rubber having a function as a lid, and has a vent hole for allowing air to enter and exit, and a plug that covers the vent hole. A vacuum that draws a predetermined amount of air from the vent hole through the plug by changing the shape of the lid body using the flexibility of the lid body with the lid body covered on a predetermined container It is characterized by causing an adsorption action. Here, the plug that covers the vent hole includes not only a case where the plug completely seals the vent hole but also a case where a part of the vent is vented while maintaining a gap with the vent hole. In addition, as usual, it can be used as a lid or a drop lid of a pan, a dish, or when food in a container is heated with a microwave oven, and air and steam can be extracted from the vent hole.

According to the present invention, with the lid placed on a predetermined container, the shape of the lid is changed using the flexibility of the lid, thereby removing air from the periphery. Then, a vacuum adsorption action is produced and the lid is closed. And when storing a foodstuff in a refrigerator, the foodstuff in a container can be made into the state which does not rot easily, and can be stored in a refrigerator. Moreover, even when a lid is applied to food or a container in which the lid is heated, the shape of the lid can be changed using a stopper. When the stopper is made of earthenware and the lid is made of silicone rubber, a predetermined amount of air inside the gap formed between them can be discharged through the vent hole.

  Hereinafter, a lid to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the present embodiment is a lid body 1 having a function as a lid, which is covered with a ventilation hole 2 for allowing air to enter and exit, and covering the ventilation hole 2. A stopper 3 is provided and used so as to cover the container 6.
The lid 1 is made of silicone rubber. Silicone rubber is a rubber-like silicone resin (synthetic resin based on silicone), but the silicone rubber lid 1 has a curved surface that is approximately hemispherical. If it has, it will be rich in flexibility, and especially the outer periphery 1a will be elastically deformed so that it may stick to the opening part of the container 6, and also has an adhesive effect. If it has such flexibility, it may be made of synthetic resin such as PET or plastic (including silicone resin), but it is highly flexible and its outer periphery contacts a horizontal surface such as a table surface. In order to instantaneously generate a suction action like a suction cup, silicone rubber is preferable. The lid body 1 of the present embodiment has a thickness of about 5 mm, and a horizontal portion 1 a is formed on the outer peripheral edge 1 a with a width of about 7 mm. The horizontal portion 1a is brought into contact with the table surface T (see FIG. 7) and causes an action of sucking like a suction cup. Moreover, such a lid body 1 has heat resistance as well as heat resistance by being microwave permeable to a microwave oven. The lid 1 may have a multilayer structure. For example, a multilayer structure may be used by using a silicon film as an adhesive surface on the PET surface. This is because the glossy surface of the silicone rubber has an adhesive action. Moreover, when the same silicone rubber is piled up or different types of silicone rubber are laminated together to be used as a lid for the pan, heat may not easily reach the surface side.

  The lid body 1 has a disk shape, and a cylindrical portion 4 projects from the center to form a vent hole 2. That is, a cylindrical portion 4 having a curved surface shape of a predetermined size and projecting upward at the center is formed to protrude, and a vent hole 2 penetrating through the cylindrical portion 4 is formed. Further, a notch 3 is formed on the disc-shaped outer circumference circle. The notch 3 is formed in order to bend the lid 1 and cause a vacuum suction action instantaneously when the container 6 is covered. In the present embodiment, one disk-shaped lid body 1 is formed at substantially the center, but a plurality of disk-shaped lid bodies 1 can be formed and bent so as to have multiple stages. A notch 3 is provided at substantially the center, and is thereby divided into an outer peripheral part A1 and an inner peripheral part A2. The outer peripheral edge of the container 6 has a diameter that fits within the range of the inner peripheral part A2. in use. In addition, what changed the material in inner peripheral part A2 and outer peripheral part A1 may be used. For example, the inner peripheral portion A2 may be made of glass and the outer peripheral portion A1 may be made of silicone. On the outer peripheral side rear surface of the lid, a protrusion 7 is provided that is engaged with the outer peripheral edge of the container 6 such as a dish or a bowl. The outer peripheral edge of the container 6 is sized to be inside the outer peripheral edge 1 a of the lid 1.

  The ventilation hole 2 is formed through a cylindrical portion 4 formed at the center of the disc-shaped lid 1. And the stopper 3 is attached to this cylindrical part 4 so that attachment or detachment is possible. The plug 3 of the present embodiment is made of earthenware, and as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a hole 5a that fits into the cylindrical portion 4 is formed, thereby closing the vent hole 2. Moreover, in order to put the hole 5a of the stopper 5, the storage part 5b which stores air is formed. Therefore, a certain amount of air in the container 6 is stored in the storage unit 5b, so that a part of the air is instantaneously taken into the container 6 to cause a vacuum adsorption action. Thereafter, when a large amount of air is exhausted, the air is discharged from the gap of the plug 3 to the outside. That is, the stopper of the present embodiment is made of earthenware, and even when fitted to the cylindrical portion 4 of the lid 1 made of silicone rubber, the internal air can be discharged from the gap between the two. The stopper 5 is used as a knob when used as a normal lid, for example, when the stopper 5 is removed after covering the container 6 with a microwave oven. Moreover, although the ceramic stopper 5 has a rabbit shape, the shape thereof is not limited. For example, the outer periphery as shown in FIG. 4C may be rectangular or other polygonal shapes.

  Therefore, when the lid 1 of the present invention is used to store food in the container 6, it becomes a tableware whose contents are difficult to cool due to the vacuum structure. According to the lid 1 of the present invention, vacuum suction is performed so as to be attached to the outer periphery of the dish 6 or the bowl by the flexibility of silicone resin having a predetermined curved surface shape. And since the height changes in three steps at the notch 3 (FIG. 5 (b)), the height is adjusted according to the amount of things to be put in the container 6, thereby adjusting the amount of internal air. Can be saved. In the case of such use, the present embodiment without the vent hole 2 can also be used.

Next, when the lid 1 is put on the container 6 containing the food in this way and stored in the refrigerator, a ceramic plug 5 is attached to the cylindrical portion 4 of the lid 1 and this The stopper 5 is picked so that the container 6 is covered. At this time, the container 6 is bent from the notch 3 and the container 6 is covered, and at this time, a predetermined amount of the air inside escapes instantaneously. That is, the internal air is pushed out from the outer periphery 1 a of the lid 1. Note that the relationship between the cylindrical portion 4 and the ceramic plug 5 does not completely seal the vent hole 2, but also acts to allow air to escape outside through a gap formed between them. When the stopper 5 is lightly held with a finger, the container 6 is covered so that the inner peripheral part A2 of the lid 1 is submerged in the container 6 (FIG. 5 (b)). Due to the bending of A2, the air in the container 6 is instantaneously stored in the storage part 5b of the stopper 5 via the cylindrical part 4 and the stopper 5, or more air is stored in the corners of the cylindrical part 4 and the stopper 5. Release from outside to outside. When the knob 5 is lifted, the container 2 is lifted up. Moreover, if the stopper 5 is used, it is not necessary to touch the cover body 1 with a hand directly, and it can operate safely and can be made into the state of FIG.1 (b) instantaneously.
Therefore, since the air in the container 6 can be extracted moderately, after that, what is necessary is just to preserve | save in a refrigerator as it is. As the temperature cools, the degree of vacuum increases further and it is completely sealed.

Next, when taking out from the refrigerator, the vacuum adsorption action is canceled by removing the stopper 5 from the cylindrical portion 4 and sending air into the container 6. When the food in the container 6 is heated by the microwave oven, the food is put in a state where the stopper 5 is removed, or the container 6 is kept in a vacuum state as a lid for the container 6 while the stopper 5 is kept. Is also possible. In addition, you may make it open naturally by heating with a microwave oven, vacuum-sealed.
Here, as another example of use of the lid body 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the lid body 1 with the stopper 5 removed is used to cover the container 6 with a lid. To do. That is, the tubular part 4 is picked with a finger and the container is covered with the lid 1. Then, the inner peripheral part A2 of the lid body 1 is lowered to a position lower than the outer peripheral part A1 by the force of the finger. The air is removed from the air vent hole 2 and a vacuum adsorption action is generated, so that it can be lifted. After confirming this, when the tubular portion 4 is plugged with the plug 5, a vacuum adsorption action can be produced.

  Next, the lid 1 of the present embodiment can also be used as a pan and a table for holding objects. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) and FIG. Place the lid 1 in a stable and non-slip area, and reversely (invert) the case of the lid of the container 6 and lightly press the inner periphery A2 and the outer periphery A1 of the lid 1 by hand. Then, since the outer peripheral edge 1a and the cylindrical portion 4 come into contact with the table surface T from the cutout portion 3 and the vent hole is blocked, the lid 1 is attracted to the table surface by the vacuum suction action. That is, the table surface T and the sucker are in contact with each other at a constant area from the outer peripheral side of the outer peripheral part A1 of the lid 1 to the cylindrical part side of the inner peripheral part A2. Such use is used on the back side of the lid 1. In addition, although the container 6 can be covered with this back side, the vacuum suction is also generated at this time.

  Here, as a case where the lid 1 is used as the reverse side of the container 6 for the container 6, as shown in FIG. 8, by providing a contact portion 6 a at the center of the container 2, a cylindrical shape in which the vent hole 2 is formed. By contacting with the part 4, the inside of the container can be evacuated without using the stopper 5. Thus, although the container 6 can be used for a bowl, a pan, a frying pan, etc., as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to use a container in which a contact portion (post member) 6a is arranged at the center. As described above, the lid according to the present embodiment causes the vacuum suction action to be performed using the front and back surfaces.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the disc shape is used as the lid body and the container is also circular. However, the rectangular lid body 1 may be used, and the same rectangular shape may be used correspondingly. good. Moreover, as a cover body, the shape, such as triangular shape and polygonal shape, is wide and can be used. Moreover, although the example of the use of the lid body 1 has been described with reference to a pan and a table for holding objects, the present invention is not limited to these, and is widely applicable to articles that are prevented from moving by a vacuum function.
