(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a pot cover according to the first embodiment of the present invention and a method of attaching the pot cover to the pot. FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a combination of a first vertically cut cylindrical member and a second vertically cut cylindrical member. FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a modified example of the vertically cut cylindrical member. In the present embodiment, a case where a vertically cut cylindrical member is used as the vertically cut cylindrical member will be described.
The pot cover of the first embodiment of the present invention is composed of a first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and a second vertically cut cylindrical member 12. The pot cover can be formed by combining the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 so as to cover the periphery of the pot 13 from the side surface of the pot 13. And the pot 13 on the water pan 14 can be placed in the pot cover without lifting the water pan 14. Some ordinary pot covers have no drain hole on the bottom surface and some have a drain hole, but the pot cover of the present embodiment does not have a bottom surface. The fact that the pot cover does not have a bottom surface is the same in the pot cover of each embodiment described later. However, in order to enhance the independence of the pot cover, the protruding portion 11A may be provided on the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 as shown in FIG. 2B within a range not in contact with the water tray 14. The shape of the protruding portion is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 2B, and may be provided in a semicircular shape on the entire bottom portion. The second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 may also be provided with a protruding portion. If there is no problem in attaching / detaching the vertically cut cylindrical members 11 and 12, a part of the protruding portion may be inserted under the water tray 14. The protruding portion can be similarly provided in the vertically cut tubular member of the pot cover of each embodiment described later.

Both ends (two side surface ends) of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 are arranged so as to overlap each other with both ends (two side surface ends) of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12. The first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 are arranged so as to cover the periphery of the pot. The first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 is one of the vertically cut cylinders obtained by dividing the cylinder into two equal parts in the vertical direction. Both ends of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 are extended so as to be longer in the circumferential direction than the vertically cut cylinder obtained by dividing the cylinder into two equal parts in the vertical direction, and the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 An overlapping part can be formed between both ends.
If the first vertically cut cylindrical member and the second vertically cut cylindrical member are arranged so that the overlapping portion is formed in this way, the length of the overlapping portion is long even if the diameter of the pot varies. It is possible to tolerate variations in the diameter of the pot cover by adjusting.
The cross section of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 has a semicircular ring shape and is self-supporting, but the cross section of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 has a shape larger than that of the semicircular ring. Therefore, it is more independent. Since the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 are self-supporting, they do not need to be joined or touched at the overlapping portion, and are arranged with a certain gap. However, they may be arranged so as to be in contact with each other at the overlapping portions or to be joined by using a magnet or the like.

The diameter of the semicircle in the cross section of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 is larger than the diameter of the semicircular ring portion in the cross section of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12, and the diameter of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 is larger. Both ends of the member 12 form overlapping portions so as to enter the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11. In this overlapping portion, the inner surfaces of the two side surface ends of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and the outer surfaces of the two side surface ends of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 face each other.
The materials of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 may be self-supporting, and may be plastic such as FRP or acrylic, wood products such as plywood, wood, glass, ceramics, aluminum. Metals such as steel and steel, cages, silicone resins, cement, cardboard, leather and the like can be used. Further, for example, a cloth may be attached to plastic. The first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 do not have to be made of the same material. For example, the first vertically cut cylindrical member 11 is made of plastic and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 12 is made of plastic. 12 may be leather. Similar materials can be used in the vertically cut tubular member of each embodiment described below.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a combination of a first vertically cut cylindrical member and a second vertically cut cylindrical member in a pot cover according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the first vertically cut cylindrical member 15 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 16 have the same shape. In the overlapping portion, the inner surface of one side end of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 15 and the outer surface of one side end of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 16 face each other, and the first vertically cut cylinder The outer surface of the other side end of the shaped member 15 and the inner surface of the other side end of the second longitudinally cut cylindrical member 16 face each other.
Both ends of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 15 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 16 are extended so as to be longer in the circumferential direction than the vertically cut cylindrical member in which the cylinder is divided into two equal parts in the vertical direction. , An overlapping portion can be formed between both ends of the first vertically cut cylindrical member 15 and both ends of the second vertically cut cylindrical member 16. Both the first vertically cut cylindrical member 15 and the second vertically cut cylindrical member 16 have a shape in which the cross section is larger than the semicircular ring, and thus have high self-supporting property.

The first vertically cut square tubular member 21 is a vertically cut square cylinder obtained by dividing a conformal cylinder into two equal parts in the vertical direction. Both ends of the second vertically cut square tubular member 22 are extended so that the sides are longer than the vertically cut square cylinder obtained by dividing the conformal cylinder into two equal parts in the vertical direction, and the first vertically cut square cylinder is formed. An overlapping portion can be formed between both ends of the shaped member 21. Since the vertically cut square tubular member 22 does not collide even if the extension width of both ends is increased and the width of entering the first vertically cut square tubular member 21 is increased, the overlapping portion can be widened. Therefore, even if the pot to be inserted is square and the length of the pot changes, the length of the overlapping portion can be adjusted accordingly.
