Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement in the structure of a cap with a handle used as a skeleton of a disposable simple pot.

<Conventional technology> Aluminum foil shaped to a certain depth is used as a pot.
There are so-called disposable pots on the market that are preloaded with contents such as popcorn or pizza, heated by a consumer on a gas stove at home, and then thrown away after the meal. However, in such a simple pot, the opening periphery of the pot is wrapped around and integrated with a metal wire base as a skeleton, and
It is customary to hold and use the handle that protrudes outward from the cap.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in this kind of conventional simple pot structure with a handle, a single metal wire is used as a whole, and as shown in Figs. Roll it up into a frame shape to form a cap body 1, and extend a handle 2 outward from a part of its circumference on the same plane as the cap body 1.
are formed in a continuous and integral manner. In other words, the handle 2 is not foldable with respect to the base body 1 and protrudes outward by a length that can be grasped with one hand at all times, making it very bulky for packaging and storage.

In addition, the protruding base 3 of the handle 2 protruding from the base body 1 is thickly fixed and integrated by spot welding as a double bonded metal wire.
When wrapping the aluminum foil that will become the pot 4 around the base body 1, a relief notch 5 is formed on the periphery of the opening of the pot 4.
It is necessary to apply a sealant, which is extremely troublesome to wrap, and otherwise it cannot be wrapped and fixed stably and reliably.

Furthermore, the cap body 1 and the handle 2 that will protrude from this
are located on the same plane, so
The height difference h between the handle 2 and the bottom of the pot 4 must be small, and as a result, when the contents are heated on a gas stove, the handle 2 will also heat up quickly, and if the metal wire is not used as it is, It may happen that you cannot hold it safely.

<Means for solving the problem> The present invention is intended to solve the above problem, and for that purpose, a single metal wire is wound into an annular frame shape in plan view, and made of aluminum foil. The periphery of the opening of the pot is made into a cap body that can be rolled up, and a part of the circumference of the cap body is bent diagonally outward in a continuous manner to erect an approximately inverted U-shaped handle mounting post when viewed from the front. , The amount of horizontal overhang of the mounting support should be kept within the outline of an imaginary square whose side is the diameter of the base body, and approximately the lower half of the mounting support should be used as a pair of left and right lower pillars. , by narrowing the mutual spacing and using the remaining upper halves as a pair of left and right upper columns, and conversely varying the mutual spacing widely, the upper pillars are placed on each side at the mid-height position forming the boundary. A pair of horizontal pivot steps connecting the lower end of the column and the upper end of the lower column are provided, and the upper ends of both upper columns are connected by a horizontal transverse bar. A single metal wire separate from the main body is bent into an elongated U-shape in plan view to form a handle, and the cut-off ends are formed into a pair of left and right hooks, and the positions near the hooks are bent at almost a right angle. By doing so, the entire handle is formed into an inverted L-shape when viewed from the side, consisting of a short, almost vertical leg and a long, almost horizontal grip, and the hook part of the handle is used as a pivot for the mounting column. By wrapping the handle around the horizontal axis of the pivot step so that it can freely rotate in an undulating manner, the grip part of the handle can be folded into the frame of the mouthpiece body when not in use. When the grip part of the handle is extended outward from the circumference of the base body, the middle part of the handle is attached. The main feature is that the grip is supported from below by the transverse bar of the support in a substantially horizontal state.

<Example> Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. Figures 1 to 7 show the cap structure with a handle according to the present invention, and Figures 8 to 10 show its use. Each represents the completed state of assembly of the simple pot,
Reference numeral 11 denotes a base body which is wound from a single iron wire or other metal round wire material into an annular frame shape in a plan view, and the aluminum foil opening periphery 12a that becomes the pot 12 is attached to the wire material. It will be wrapped in a covering state. Reference numeral 11a denotes cut-off ends of the metal wires, which are abutted against each other at a portion of the circumference of the base body 11, and are integrally connected by spot welding or the like.

13 is the diameter (front-to-back center line) O of the base body 11 so as to properly face the cut-off end 11a.
-O is a general term for the handle mounting struts that are continuously bent and erected diagonally outward from a part of the circumference of the base body 11, and the overall shape is a basic inverted U-shape when viewed from the front. In particular, almost the lower half of the mounting column 13 has a pair of left and right lower column portions 13a.
, the mutual interval W1 is narrowly determined, while the remaining almost upper half is a pair of left and right upper pillar parts 13b, and the mutual interval W2 is changed widely, so that the mounting strut 13 forming the boundary A pair of horizontal pivot step portions 13c are formed at mid-height positions to connect the lower end of the upper column portion 13b and the upper end of the lower column portion 13a on each side. Both upper pillar parts 13
It goes without saying that the upper end position of b is continuous via the horizontal transverse bar portion 13d.

When viewed from the side as a whole, the handle mounting support 13 as described above extends slightly diagonally outward so as to intersect with the plane of the bending of the base body 11 while maintaining a certain obtuse angle α. It is bent and erected. The reason why the obtuse angle α is made to stand up in an inclined position is to prevent the handle, which will be described later, attached to the handle from turning inwardly of the pot 12 so that it naturally falls down, and to suppress the accidental rotation of the base body 11. The purpose is to make the packaging state smaller and more compact by stacking.

However, from the circumference of the base body 11 to the handle mounting support 1
Regarding the amount X that 3 projects outward in the horizontal direction,
As suggested from the plan view of FIG. 6, at most the diameter dimension D of the mouthpiece body 11 is kept within the outline of an imaginary square A having one side. The purpose of this is to enable small and compact packaging in the virtual square A storage box. As is clear from Figures 6 and 7, in such packaging,
The handle, which will be described later, also faces within the frame of the cap body 11 and is intentionally pushed down.

In this regard, in FIGS. 1 to 7, the lower column part 13a and the upper column part 13b of the handle mounting column 13 are bent at the same obtuse angle α in side view, but if the above purpose can be achieved, , as shown in the modified embodiment of FIG. 11 corresponding to FIG.
The lower pillar part 13a of the main body 11 is bent primarily at a small obtuse angle β that intersects with the plane in which the mouthpiece body 11 exists, and then the upper pillar part 13b is bent from there, using the pivot step part 13c at the mid-height position as a boundary. It is also possible to make a second bending angle with a large obtuse angle γ. In other words, the bending angles β and γ of the lower column portion 13a and the upper column portion 13b are changed differently.

In the configuration of such a modified embodiment, the small obtuse angle β, which is the bending angle of the lower column portion 13a, may be set to 90 degrees.
Even if the lid is closed and the settings are made in this way, the upper column part 13
This is because as long as b maintains the above-mentioned inclined posture of the obtuse angle γ, the purpose of preventing the handle from accidentally falling inward can be achieved.

In addition, in FIGS. 1 to 7, when bending and raising the middle lower column part 13a of the handle attachment column 13 from a part of the circumference of the base body 11, in particular, part of the circumference is bent up from both lower column parts 13a.
As a pair of left and right relief seats 13e that are continuous with each other, the relief seats 13e are bent horizontally inward by a certain amount S1, and then bent from the tip position of the relief seats 13e that are
Next, the lower pillar portion 13a is bent diagonally outward and erected.

According to such a configuration, while keeping the overall obtuse angle α of the handle mounting support 13 constant, the amount X that projects outward from the circumference of the base body 11 can be reasonably reduced in terms of design. It is even possible to make the overhang amount X substantially non-existent. In addition, since the lower column portion 13a of the handle mounting column 13 is retracted into the frame of the cap body 11 via the relief seat portion 13e, the opening peripheral portion of the aluminum foil that will become the pot 12 is attached to the cap body 11. 12a can be wound and fixed extremely smoothly and stably.

However, as shown in the modified embodiment of FIG. 11, the bending process of the relief seat portion 13e directed inward as described above is omitted, and the lower column of the handle mounting column 13 is inserted from a part of the circumference of the base body 11. Part 13a,
So to speak, it would be okay to bend it all in one fell swoop. This is because, as long as the left-right distance W1 of the lower pillar portion 13a is sized to a size that allows at least one fingertip to be inserted, the aluminum foil wrapping operation can be performed relatively easily.

Further, reference numeral 14 denotes a handle which is made of a single iron wire or other metal round wire separate from the base body 11 and is bent into an overall elongated U-shape in plan view, and the cut-off ends of the wire are on the left and right sides. A pair of hook portions 14a are wound around and integrated with a horizontal pivot step portion 13c located at a mid-height position of the handle mounting column 13 so as to be freely rotatable in an undulating manner. Reference numeral 14b denotes a pair of left and right bent portions provided near the hook portion 14a, and the entire handle 14, with these as the boundary,
It is formed into an inverted L-shape when viewed from the side, consisting of short, substantially vertical leg portions 14c and long, substantially horizontal grip portions 14d.

In that case, the hanging length Y of the leg portion 14c is sized to be approximately equal to the bent height H1 of the lower column portion 13a of the handle mounting column 13, so that the handle 14 is sized to the pivot step portion 13c. 6 and 7, the grip portion 14d of the handle 14 and the mouthpiece body 11 are located substantially on the same plane, and overlap when viewed from the side. We have a good relationship. The grip part 1
Of course, the length L of 4d is shorter than the diameter D of the base body 11.

In any case, both lower column parts 1 of the handle mounting column 13
3a has a narrow width, and both upper pillar parts 13b have wide widths, as described above, so the upper pillar part 13b is wound around the pivot step part 13c located at the mid-height position of the boundary. The hook portion 14a of the handle 14 that has been
Even if you grip 4d tightly, there is no risk of it moving illegally in the left-right direction due to its narrow width.

Furthermore, when used as a simple pot, the middle part of the handle 14 is stably supported from below by the horizontal cross bar part 13d of the mounting support 13, as is clear from FIGS. 8 to 10. Therefore, even though the grip portion 14d of the handle 14 protrudes outward from the circumference of the base body 11, it is always maintained in an almost horizontal position that is easy to grip, and the grip portion 14d and the bottom surface of the pot 12 Height difference H
It is also possible to secure a fairly large amount.

In this regard, in FIGS. 1 to 7, the bent portion 14 of the handle 14
b are made to correspond to each other at approximately the same position so as to engage with the transverse bar portion 13d of the mounting support 13, and in the modified embodiment shown in FIG. Although separated by S2, the above effects can be achieved in exactly the same way. In addition, the handle mounting support 13
The overall bending height H2 is the depth G of the pot 12.
Preferably, the dimensions are smaller.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, in the handle-equipped base structure for a disposable simple pot according to the present invention, a single metal wire is wound into an annular frame shape in a plan view, and the pot 12 made of aluminum foil is made of aluminum foil. The peripheral edge 12a of the opening is made into a cap body 11 that can be rolled up, and a part of the circumference of the cap body 11 is continuously and integrally bent diagonally outward to erect an approximately inverted U-shaped handle mounting support 13 when viewed from the front. In doing so, the amount of horizontal protrusion X of the mounting support 13 is kept within the outline of an imaginary square A whose side is the diameter dimension D of the base body 11 at most, and approximately below the mounting support 13. The half is made into a pair of left and right lower pillar parts 13a, and the mutual interval W1 is made narrower, and the remaining almost upper half is made into a pair of left and right upper pillar parts 13b, and the mutual interval W2 is changed widely, so that the boundary between them is reduced. A pair of horizontal pivot step portions 13c connect the lower end of the upper column portion 13b and the upper end of the lower column portion 13a on each side of the left and right sides.
The upper end positions of both upper column parts 13b are connected by a horizontal crossbar part 13d, and one metal wire separate from the mouthpiece body 11 is
The handle 14 is bent into an elongated U-shape in plan view, and the cut-off ends are used as a pair of left and right hook parts 14a.
By bending the vicinity of the hook portion 14a at a substantially right angle, the entire handle 14 is made up of a short, substantially vertical leg portion 14c and a long, substantially horizontal grip portion 14d, in an inverted side view. The hook part 14a of the handle 14 is wrapped around the pivot step part 13c of the mounting column 13 so as to be freely rotatable in an undulating manner. Around the axis, handle 1
When the grip portion 14d of No. 4 is folded into the frame of the mouthpiece body 11 and is not in use, the grip portion 14d overlaps the mouthpiece body 11 and is positioned on the same plane as the other, and the grip portion 14d also overlaps the mouthpiece body 11. When in use, the grip portion 14d is extended outward from the circumference of the base body 11, the midway portion of the handle 14 is supported from below by the transverse bar portion 13d of the mounting post 13, with the grip portion 14d in a substantially horizontal state. Since the relationship is set so that the above-mentioned problems occur, the problem of the prior art described at the beginning can be completely improved.

In other words, the handle mounting support 13 that stands up continuously and integrally from a part of the circumference of the cap body 11 is connected to the cap body 1.
1, the amount X that protrudes outward from the circumference of the cap body 11 is at most limited to within the outline of an imaginary square A whose side is the diameter dimension D of the cap body 11, and the mounting support 13 has a handle. 14 is pivotably mounted in an undulating manner, so that the base body 1
By folding and laying down the handle 14 toward the frame 1, the whole is placed inside the virtual square A storage box.
It can be packed in a small and compact size, which is extremely advantageous in terms of cost savings and convenience in handling.

Further, the handle mounting support 13 is bent and erected under the above conditions, and the grip portion 14d of the handle 14 is supported in a substantially horizontal position by the transverse bar portion 13d at the upper end position. Because of this, not only can it be held and used stably, but also a large height difference H between the grip portion 14d and the bottom surface of the pot 12 is ensured, making it easy to use when heating the contents on a gas stove. It is also possible to prevent the handle 14 made of metal wire from heating up prematurely, and it can be used safely as is.

Furthermore, since the handle mounting post 13 is curved as a whole into an inverted U-shape when viewed from the front, by inserting your fingertips through the mutual interval, the base body 11
The opening periphery 12 of the aluminum foil that becomes the pot 12
a can be wound and fixed smoothly and reliably, and there is no need to provide a relief notch 5 on the opening peripheral edge 12a as in the conventional case.

In particular, the lower column part 13a of the handle mounting column 13 is made narrow, and the upper column part 13b is made wide, and the mutual spacings W1 and W2 are varied, so that the attachment column 13 forming the boundary between the two is made narrow. A pair of horizontal pivot steps 13c connecting the lower end of the upper column portion 13b and the upper end of the lower column portion 13a on each left and right side are formed at a mid-height position, and the pivot steps 13c Since the hook portion 14a of the handle 14 is rotatably wrapped around the handle 14, the grip portion 14 of the handle 14 is bent into an elongated U-shape from the metal wire.
Even if d is strongly gripped and squeezed, the lateral movement of the hook portion 14a in the direction of narrowing is reliably regulated by the separated pivot step portion 13c, making it extremely easy to use. .

In this respect, for example, one of the other metal wires is horizontally fixed and hung horizontally at the mid-height position of the inverted U-shaped mounting column 13, and the hook portion 1 of the similar handle 14 is attached to the wire.
If the handle 4a is rotatably rolled up, even if the overall size can be made more compact by folding the handle 14, it is impossible to obtain the above-mentioned effect of preventing lateral displacement. It is. This is because the hook portion 14a of the handle 14 changes in width due to the lateral movement along the horizontal wire.

Furthermore, in order to securely suspend another metal wire rod horizontally on the mounting column 13, it is necessary to spot weld both the left and right ends of the wire rod, so at least one
This increases the number of steps, and it is not possible to reduce costs by using a disposable pot. Furthermore, since the inverted U-shaped interior of the mounting support 13 is blocked by the crossing of the metal wire, it is difficult to wrap the aluminum foil around the base body 11 quickly and easily. .

According to the above configuration of the present invention, these various problems can be solved all at once. In addition, such effects can be further enhanced by adopting the configuration of claim 2, and the bending process of the handle mounting support 13 that should satisfy the above conditions can be made extremely easy. This makes it possible to rationalize the design.

Furthermore, if the configurations of claims 3 and 4 are adopted, the middle part of the handle 14 is attached to the mounting support 13 for use.
In addition to being able to stably support the handle 14 from below, the handle 14 can be effectively prevented from inadvertently falling into the frame of the mouthpiece body 11 by the cross bar portion 13d. increasingly beneficial.
