Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" The present invention can be applied to, for example, a simple frying pan for making popcorn by roasting raw materials for popcorn, or a simple pot for boiling udon and buckwheat noodles together with other ingredients. This invention relates to the improvement of simple containers made of aluminum foil that are sold together with cooking ingredients.

``Prior Art'' Many conventional simple containers of this kind have already been provided with various structures, one example of which is the one shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 19774-1983.

Although not specifically shown, the conventional simple container includes a circular aluminum foil main body, an annular metal core wire stretched within the folded opening flange of the aluminum foil main body, and an aluminum foil main body. It consists of a U-shaped handle made of metal wire that is removably connected to the opening flange of the main body, and in particular, for each tip of this U-shaped handle made of metal wire, the opening flange of the main body The structure includes an engaging claw bent approximately vertically downward so as to be able to engage with the inner surface of the aluminum foil body, and a supporting arm bent approximately horizontally so as to be able to place and support the bottom surface of the aluminum foil main body. .

In actual use, the engaging claw on the upper side of the U-shaped handle is engaged with the inner surface of the opening flange of the aluminum foil main body, while the lower supporting arm is attached to the bottom surface of the aluminum foil main body. After connecting the handle to the aluminum foil main body by contacting the handle, grip the handle together with the main body and roast or boil the raw materials put in the aluminum foil main body on a gas stove etc. Popcorn etc. can be made easily.

``The problem that the invention aims to solve'' Therefore, in the case of the conventional simplified method, the aluminum foil main body and the handle are separated, so that the metal core wire and the handle are integrally molded. Compared to previous models, it has the advantage of being convenient in terms of transportation, storage, and packaging, but on the other hand, the separate structure of the main body and handle poses a major obstacle when it comes to use.

That is, in the case of a conventional simple container, an engagement claw bent vertically downward and a support arm bent horizontally are provided at the tip of a U-shaped metal wire handle,
The former engaging claw engages with the inner surface of the opening flange of the aluminum foil main body, and the latter supporting arm contacts the bottom surface of the aluminum foil main body, so which one comes first? Even when connected, the sharp end of the engagement claw may accidentally tear the aluminum foil side of the main body, or the sharp end of the support arm may accidentally tear the aluminum foil bottom of the main body, resulting in a hole being drilled and unusable. There was a strong possibility that they would not be able to provide such services.

In addition, when connecting the handles, even if the aluminum foil of the main body is not broken with each sharp end, the entire weight must be supported by the support arm during use, making the grip of the aluminum foil main body unstable. If the main body itself is tilted due to this, it is highly conceivable that the aluminum foil of the main body may be inadvertently broken by the sharp ends of the engaging claws or supporting arms.

Furthermore, supporting the bottom of the aluminum foil main body with a support arm limits the height of the main body, making it impossible to use the same handle for main bodies with different heights, making it difficult to be flexible. I couldn't deny that I disliked her because of her lack of sexuality.

"Means for Solving the Problems" Therefore, the present invention was developed to effectively solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. a ring-shaped metal core wire provided within the folded opening flange of the main body;
Assuming a simple aluminum foil container consisting of a metal wire handle that is removably connected to the opening flange of an aluminum foil main body, the metal core wire inside the opening flange is attached to the tip of the metal wire handle. An engaging claw that engages from above and a bifurcated support arm that supports the aluminum foil main body from the side are provided, and the engaging claw has a hook shape that can hold the upper side of the metal core wire. The bifurcated support arm extends in opposite directions around the engagement claw, and has a first contact portion that contacts the lower surface of the opening flange of the aluminum foil main body, and a bifurcated support arm that extends from the first contact portion. A configuration is adopted in which the second contact part is bent downward and comes into contact with the side surface of the aluminum foil main body.

"Function" Accordingly, in the present invention, when connecting the metal wire handle to the aluminum foil main body, the hook-like engaging claw of the abutting handle is inserted into the metal core wire from above the folded back of the opening flange. By rotating the handle downward while engaging the upper side of the bifurcated support arm and bringing the second contact part of the bifurcated support arm into contact with the side surface of the aluminum foil main body, the bifurcated The first contact portion of the support arm automatically contacts the lower surface of the opening flange, and these two second contact portions and the one engaging claw move the corresponding portions of the metal core wire up and down. Since it can be reliably clamped from any direction, it becomes possible to easily connect the metal wire handle to the aluminum foil main body.

Furthermore, due to the shape of the engaging pawl and the direction in which the supporting arm is bent, the sharp ends of the engaging pawl and the bifurcated supporting arm may touch the sides and bottom of the aluminum foil body during connection work of the handle. Since there is no fear of collision, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of a situation where the side or bottom of the aluminum foil body is accidentally torn and a hole is made.

"Embodiment" Hereinafter, the simple container according to the present invention will be described in detail based on an illustrated embodiment of the present invention.As shown in FIG. 1, the simple container has a circular aluminum foil main body 1,
An annular metal core wire 3 stretched within the folded opening flange 2 of the aluminum foil main body 1; and a metal wire handle 4 detachably connected to the opening flange 2 of the aluminum foil main body 1. It is characterized by the following structure.

That is, in this embodiment, the metal wire handle 4
An engaging claw 5 that engages with the metal core wire 3 from above from above the folded back of the opening flange 2, and a bifurcated support arm 6 that supports the aluminum foil main body 1 from the side are provided at the tip. The former engaging claw 5 is provided with a hook shape that can hold the upper side of the metal core wire 3, and the latter bifurcated support arm 6 is provided with the engaging claw 5. A first contact part 7a extends in opposite directions from the center and contacts the lower surface of the opening flange part 2 of the aluminum foil main body 1, and an aluminum foil is bent downward from the first contact part 7a. A second abutting portion 7b that abuts against the side surface of the main body 1 is formed.

Therefore, when transporting, storing or packaging the present simple container, the handle 4 made of metal wire can be easily separated from the main body 1 made of aluminum foil, and the handle 4 can be easily separated from the main body 1 made of aluminum foil. If you store it inside the main body 1, etc.,
Not only does the handle 4 itself not get in the way at all, but it also becomes possible to reliably package it together with cooking raw materials.

However, in this embodiment, the metal wire handle 4
When connecting the handle to the aluminum foil main body 1, unlike the conventional case, the handle is connected while engaging the engaging claw 5 of the handle 4 to the upper side of the metal core wire 3 from above the folded back of the opening flange 2. 4 is rotated downward and each second contact portion 7b of the bifurcated support arm 6 is brought into contact with the side surface of the aluminum foil main body 1. 6
Each of the first contact portions 7a automatically contacts the lower surface of the opening flange portion 2, and the two second contact portions 7b and the one engaging claw 5 engage the metal core wire 3. Since the parts can be reliably clamped from above and below, it becomes possible to easily connect the handle body 4 made of metal wire to the main body 1 made of aluminum foil.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, due to the shape of the engaging claw 5 and the direction in which the supporting arm 6 is bent, the engaging claw 5 and the bifurcated supporting arm 6 are There is no need to worry about the sharp end hitting the side or bottom of the aluminum foil main body 1, so there is no chance of accidentally tearing the side or bottom of the aluminum foil main body 1 and making a hole like in the past. .

Also, in the case of actual use, in this embodiment, one engaging claw 5 and two first abutting portions 7a engage the metal core wire 3 disposed inside the folded opening flange 2. Since the structure is such that the aluminum foil main body 1 can be held securely from above and below, the grip of the aluminum foil main body 1 is extremely stable, and there is no need to worry about tearing the aluminum foil of the main body 1 and making a hole. becomes.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that by abutting the second contact portion 7b of the bifurcated support arm 6 along the side surface of the main body 1, the main body 1 itself can be reliably supported from the side surface, but the aluminum foil that is the target Since the height of the body 1 is not limited, the same handle 4 can be used for bodies 1 having different heights.

"Effects of the Invention" As described above, the present invention employs the above-mentioned configuration, and when connecting the handle made of metal wire to the main body made of aluminum foil, the engagement claw of the handle or the sharp end of the supporting arm can be connected to the main body. Since there is no need to worry about tearing the aluminum foil and making holes, it has become possible to solve the problems associated with the use of conventional simple containers.

When the aluminum foil main body is to be gripped during use, the metal core wire inside the opening flange is actively used, and the metal core wire is held between the engaging claw and the first contact portion of the support arm. Since it is clamped from above and below, the aluminum foil body can be held in a very stable manner, and there is no need to worry about tearing the aluminum foil or making a hole during use.

Furthermore, the present invention provides flexibility in that the same handle can be used for main bodies with different height dimensions.
