Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a structure of a steamer that is convenient for storage.

Conventionally, a steamer is used by stacking steaming pots 2 and 3 on top of a bottom pot 1, as shown in Figure 1, but since both the bottom pot 1 and the steaming pots 2 and 3 are formed with the same outer diameter. When storing the pots when not in use, they must be stored stacked as shown in the diagram, or pots 1, 2, and 3 must be put away separately, which requires a large storage space. There was an inconvenience.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a unique structure for the purpose of providing a steamer that can be conveniently stored by reducing the storage space.

That is, the present invention consists of a bottom pot, a steaming pot having a steam hole in the bottom, and a spacer having an upper side that engages with the bottom of the pot and a lower side that engages with the opening edge of the pot. The steaming pot is formed with an outer diameter that can be stored in the bottom pot or in another steaming pot that is accommodated in the bottom pot, and the spacer is provided with a steam passage hole. This is a characteristic feature.

Below, the present invention will be explained based on examples.
In FIG. 2, the steamer has a bottom pot 4, a first steam pot 5, and a second steam pot 6. The first steam pot 5 is formed smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom pot 4, It is designed to be stored, and the second
The steaming pot 6 is formed to have a smaller inner diameter than the first steaming pot 5, and is adapted to be housed within the first steaming pot 5. Steam holes 7 and 12 are provided at the bottom of each steaming pot 5 and 6.

When using these pots 4, 5, and 6, a first spacer 8,
A second spacer 9 is interposed between the first steaming pot 5 and the second steaming pot 6, and each spacer 8, 9 has passage holes 10, 11 for passing steam rising from inside the bottom pot 4. is provided. Although only one large passage hole 10, 11 is illustrated, a large number of small passage holes may be provided similarly to the steam holes 7, 12 of the steaming pots 5, 6.

The first spacer 8 has an engagement step part 13 that can be placed on the opening edge of the bottom pot 4 as an engagement part with the opening edge of the bottom pot 4 on the lower side. As an engagement part with the bottom of the steaming pot 5, a top fitting recess 20 is formed so that the bottom can fit therein. The second spacer 8 has an engaging stepped portion 14 that can be placed on the opening edge of the first steaming pan 5 on the lower side, and has an engaging stepped portion 14 on the upper surface thereof. 2. As an engagement part with the bottom of the steaming pot 6, a top fitting recess 21 is formed so that the bottom can fit therein.

By using such spacers 8 and 9, it is possible to support the first steaming pot 5 and the second steaming pot 6 in a stacked state on the bottom pot 4.

In addition, for storage, by removing each spacer 8, 9, the first steaming pot 5 can be stored in the bottom pot 4, and the second steaming pot 6 can be stored in the first steaming pot 5. can be done, so the third
As shown in the figure, all the steaming pots 5 and 6 can be stored in the bottom pot 4.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment, in which the bottom pot 4
A steaming pot 15 is stacked on top of the spacer 8a via a spacer 8a, and a protrusion 17 is provided at an appropriate location on the inner circumferential surface of the upper fitting recess 16 of the spacer 8a. The bottom part of the fitted steaming pot 15 can be supported without wobbling.

Note that the shape of the bottom pot and steaming pot may be either circular or square when viewed from above, and is not limited to this. Therefore, the shape of the spacer is also similar.

As described above, the present invention uses a steaming pot that can be stored in a bottom pot or a steaming pot that can be stored in another steaming pot stored in a bottom pot. It has the effect of being able to be stored inside the pot, reducing storage space.

In addition, since the steaming pots are stacked and supported on the bottom pot using a spacer having a steam passage hole, the steaming pot can be used as a conventional steamer for steaming dishes.
