Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application This invention is particularly useful for making particularly small aluminum foil cups or paper cups used as cookies, cake trays, cups for simple serving of cooked products, etc. This invention relates to a simple molding tool for small cups that can be easily molded and produced using tools such as the following.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Recently, with the provision of various cooking utensils and cooking materials, it has become popular to enjoy homemade kutskies, cakes, and the like in ordinary households. In this case, the made shoes are often wrapped in small aluminum foil or paper cups to make them look nice.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above-mentioned small cups on which hand-made shoes are placed have traditionally been sold as finished products that have been molded into a predetermined plate or cup shape at a factory. It was difficult to easily make various items by hand according to the shape of the kutsky.

With this background in mind, this idea was created with the focus on the fact that if you could easily mold and manufacture small cups like the ones mentioned above by yourself as part of Kutsuki hand-making, you could increase the fun of making them. It was done by

Means for Solving the Problems Therefore, in this invention, a horizontal flange for supporting a thin material for cup forming such as aluminum foil is placed on the upper end of the forming recess, and a horizontal flange for supporting the thin material such as aluminum foil is extended. A small piece of aluminum foil or the like consisting of a female member having a projection for positioning the thin material formed on the periphery of the part, and a male member having a molding projection that fits into the recess of the female member. By providing a simple cup forming tool, it has become possible to easily manufacture aluminum foil cups, paper cups, etc.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

As shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, the molding tool according to this invention is composed of a female member 1 and a male member 2.

The female mold member 1 has a circular horizontal flange 4 extending from the upper edge of a molding recess 3 having a predetermined depth for forming a recess for a small cup.
A convex portion 5 is formed on the periphery. The molding recess 3 is formed into a round shape whose diameter is reduced in the depth direction, and its side wall 3a is corrugated. Further, the horizontal flange 4 is for placing and supporting a circular flat plate-shaped thin material A for cup forming, and its outer diameter is set to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the thin material A. Further, the convex portion 5 is used for positioning to correctly position approximately the center of the cup-forming thin material A supported by the horizontal flange above the center of the molding recess 3.

The male member 2 has a molding convex portion 6 that fits into the molding recess 3 of the female mold member 1. That is, the molding convex part 6 is formed into a round shape whose diameter is reduced in the protrusion direction like the molding concave part 3, and the side wall 6a is corrugated in the same shape as the concave part 3. . Note that 7 is a gripping flange.

It is generally preferable for the female member 1 and the male member 2 to be manufactured by integral molding of plastic from the viewpoint of lightness, cost, etc., but they may of course be made of metal.

The cup-forming thin material A is made of aluminum foil of a predetermined size, or a so-called aluminum laminate material in which aluminum foil is bonded to paper or a synthetic resin material. These are sold as a set with a molding tool or alone, but you may use any suitable aluminum foil, paper, etc. that you have at home.

In order to manufacture an aluminum foil cup or the like using the molding tool of the above embodiment, first the cup-forming thin material A is set in the female mold member 1, but at the time of setting, since the horizontal flange 4 is provided, As shown in FIG. 2, it is only necessary to place the thin material A on the flange 4, and it can be easily set. Moreover, the positioning of the thin material A can be easily determined by the positioning convex portion 5 provided on the outer peripheral edge of the flange portion 4, and the center of the thin material A can be aligned with the center of the molding recess 3. .

Subsequently, the molding convex portion 6 of the male mold member 2 is pushed into the molding recess 3 of the female mold member 1 from above the thin material A. Since the molding convex part 6 is formed in a shape and size that can be adapted to the molding concave part 3, when the molding convex part 6 is pushed in, both members come into close contact with each other through the thin material A, and as a result, the thin material A is formed into a cup shape, and its outer wall is corrugated. When the male member 2 is removed from the female member 1, the desired small cup B as shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. When the small cup B is made of aluminum foil, it can be used not only as a container for serving cakes, etc., but also as a container for baking cakes, etc.

In the above embodiment, the molding concave portion 3 of the female mold member 1 and the molding convex portion 6 of the male mold member 2 are round, but they may be square, oval, or other arbitrary shapes. By changing its size,
Cups of various shapes corresponding to this may be obtained. In addition, a molding recess 3 and a molding convex 6
The outer wall of the building was shown with a corrugated finish,
It may be flat with no corrugation, or instead of corrugated, it may be formed with any uneven pattern within a range that does not interfere with the fit between the two members.

Furthermore, although the molding tool of the above embodiment is a separate type in which the female member 1 and the male member 2 are separated, it is also possible to connect the two members by, for example, a hinge or other connecting device. It's okay.

Effects of the invention As explained above, according to this invention, it is possible to easily mold and manufacture a small cup by placing a thin cup-forming material on the female mold member and pushing the male mold member into the molding recess. can. Therefore, even at home, the cup can be molded by oneself as part of making cakes, cookies, etc., and the enjoyment of making it can be increased. In addition, by providing molding tools of various variations in which the size and shape of the molding uneven parts of both the female mold and male mold members, the shape of the wall surface, etc. are arbitrarily changed and combined as appropriate, it is possible to produce molds for cakes, cookies, etc. It is possible to obtain an attractive small cup that matches the shape of the cup.

Furthermore, when setting the thin material for forming into the forming tool, it is sufficient to simply place the thin material on the horizontal flange, and the positioning convex provided on the horizontal flange allows the center of the thin material to be aligned with the forming recess. It is possible to easily determine the appropriate position of the thin material whose centers coincide with each other. Therefore, it is possible to easily produce a small cup that is always well-balanced and has a good appearance without requiring any training on the part of the user.

Furthermore, once you purchase and possess a molding tool,
Since it is possible to purchase only the thin material for forming the cup, or to use general aluminum foil, paper, etc. in the home, it has the effect of reducing costs in the long run.
