Description

The present invention relates to a holding tool for holding and lifting various articles such as a cooking container such as a pot without a handle and a heating plate.

When moving a cooking container such as a pot or a cooking dish without a handle or lifting it from the stove, a holding tool having a holding portion for holding the edge of the pot or the like is used. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an instrument provided with a slide pressing plate provided with a pressing mechanism that slides and moves in the direction of the handle axis with respect to the tip surface of the handle portion. The instrument is configured to sandwich the side surface of the upper edge of the pan between the slide pressure plate and the tip surface of the handle.

In addition, a pliers-type holding tool (called a pot-holder) known as "Yatoko", in which the middle part of a pair of holding bodies is crossed and pivoted, and the base is the gripping handle and the other side is the holding part. Has been done. In particular, Patent Document 2 adopts a pliers-type pinching structure, and has a configuration in which the pinching portion is directed downward from the axial direction of the gripping handle and the side surface of the upper edge of the pan is pinched by the pinching portion as in Patent Document 1. It has become.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-224514. Registered Utility Model No. 3099535 Publication No. 1.

The holding tool for holding a pot disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is formed at a position where the holding surface direction of the holding portion is bent downward with respect to the handle direction (long axis direction of the handle). Therefore, as described above, the shape is similar to that of a one-handed pan, but when used for a container in which the container edge is formed in a brim shape, which is often seen in shallow containers, the pinch edge is a brim-shaped edge. Since the part is sandwiched, the handle part becomes almost vertical, and the pot containing the contents is heavy and difficult to hold.

Further, a normal plier-type holding tool whose holding surface direction of the holding portion coincides with the axial direction of the gripping handle does not have any particular problem when used by holding the flange-shaped edge portion, but does not have the flange portion. For a normal deep container, the side surface of the upper edge of the pot is held and lifted from above, and it is necessary to change the grip portion, which poses a problem in operability. Further, when the container such as an oven is used, it cannot be used, and it is necessary to use other tools.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel holding tool capable of holding the side surface of the upper edge of the pot and holding the brim-shaped edge without changing the handle direction.

The holding tool according to claim 1 of the present invention has a U-shaped gripping handle in an open / closed holding structure in which intermediate portions of a pair of holding bodies are cross-sectionally connected to each other and the base is a gripping handle and the other is a holding portion. Alternatively, it is formed in a U-shaped cross section, the opening portion of the inner grip handle is engaged with the opening portion of the outer grip handle from the lower side and pivotally connected, and both side surfaces of each grip handle are extended to the front. A holding portion is formed so that the holding surface is bifurcated and the holding surface is on the lower side with respect to the axial direction of the closed grip handle and on the upper side from the lower side. A stopper shaft is provided so as to penetrate the side surface portion of the gripping handle, and a long hole is formed in the side surface portion so that the stopper shaft can slide back and forth in the gripping handle axis direction. A locking groove is provided at the position corresponding to the above hole so that the stopper shaft can slide and the stopper shaft can be detached from one end, and a locking mechanism is provided to prevent opening when the grip handle is closed. It is characterized by being prepared .

Therefore, the pinching work is performed by the same operation as a well-known pinching tool of a normal plier type, and when the pan is pinched by the pinching portion (lower pinching portion) formed on the lower side with respect to the side surface of the upper edge of the pot, etc. The gripping handle can be held and lifted (grabbing the pot) at a protruding position to the side of the pot, and the holding part (upper holding) formed above the brim-shaped edge of a shallow pot or heating dish. When the gripping handle is pinched by the portion), the gripping handle can be pinched, lifted, and transported to the side of the object to be pinched at a protruding position in the same manner as described above.

The lower holding portion includes diagonally downward from a direction substantially downward at right angles to the closed grip handle axial direction, and the upper holding portion includes diagonally upward from the forward extension direction with respect to the closed grip handle axial direction. The angle (direction) is determined corresponding to the desired gripping handle direction when gripping the pot.

Further, the holding tool of the present invention is formed by forming a gripping handle in a U-shaped or U-shaped cross section, engaging the openings with each other to pivotally connect the gripping handle, and extending the side surface portion of the gripping handle to form the holding portion. , The pinching part is formed on the left and right sides to realize stable pinching work.

Further, in the gripping tool according to claim 2 of the present invention, the other gripping handle is further fitted and meshed with the gripping handle on one side, and the gripping handle on the inner side is provided with a front portion. The grip handle on the outer side is strengthened by fitting the grip handle on the inner side, and the tip of the grip handle on the inner side is connected by a holding portion formed in a U shape. Therefore, the strength of the gripping handle is increased.

Further, in the pinching tool according to claim 3 of the present invention, the base of the pinching portion in the pinching portion is formed in a non-pinching gap, and the edge portion of the pot or the like has a curl shape (winding edge). However, the relevant part is released to the non-pinching gap, and stable pinching and lifting / transportation (pot-grabbing) is realized.

The configuration of the present invention is as described above, and even if the pinching position of the object to be moved or lifted is the upper edge side surface or the brim-shaped edge portion, the gripping handle can be selectively used by a single instrument without changing the gripping handle. The gripping handle can be lifted and transported (pot-grabbing) with the gripping handle protruding sideways (similar to a one-handed pan).
