Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a colander that is widely used for washing rice and grains such as beans, and particularly relates to a colander that is used by gripping the rim of the colander body.

[Prior Art] Generally, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-22911, for example, a colander used for washing rice or grains has a rim on the upper rim of the colander body made of a mesh of arbitrary shape. Some have frames attached.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the above-mentioned prior art, the rim provided on the upper edge of the colander body can be grasped and used easily for washing rice, etc., and the net of the colander main body can be held in the rim frame. fitted and firmly attached. By the way, when using a strainer to hold heavy items such as rice, simply grasping the relatively narrow rim, for example, 2 to 3 cm in height, will not give you enough force to hold your fingers on the mesh underneath the rim. In some cases, a hanging strainer is used, and in this case, the net is pressed by the fingertips and bends at the lower end of the frame, and there is a concern that this repetition may cause damage such as cutting to the wire of the net.

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned concerns, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a colander that can prevent the mesh at the lower end of the frame from being damaged when the frame is gripped.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a colander in which a rim is provided on the upper edge of the colander main body, and a finger rest for preventing pressure on the colander main body is provided by extending the border frame downward. It is something.

[Function] When gripping the edge frame of the colander, the fingers hit the finger rests and are prevented from directly pressing the net of the colander main body.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a frame 3 made of stainless steel plate forming an opening 2 is provided at the top of a colander 1, and a frame 3 made of stainless steel plate is provided below the frame 3. A cylindrical finger rest 4 is integrally provided by extending the edge frame 3 downward, and the height H of the edge frame 3 and the finger rest 4 is equal to or equal to the length of the finger, for example, about 10 cm. A bottomless colander main body 5 with an open top is provided at the lower part of the colander 1, which is set to be somewhat large, and the colander main body 5 is formed of a mesh 6 made of stainless steel wire. The upper end of this net 6 is connected to the backing plate 8 and the bent portion 4A with the wire rod 7 as the center.
The finger rest 4 is connected to the finger rest 4 by being crimped therebetween. Further, the wire rod 7 is inserted through a hole (not shown) provided at the lower part of the bent portion 4A, and is appropriately bent at the bottom portion 5A of the colander main body 5 to form a leg base portion 7A. Furthermore, a recess 4B is provided on the circumference of the finger rest 4.
is provided.

Next, the operation of the above structure will be explained.

When storing rice, etc. (not shown) in the colander 1 and washing it with water, the thumb is placed on the inside of the frame 3 and the side of the frame 3 is grasped. The sides of the main body 5 are not pressed.
Furthermore, when discharging the stored rice, etc., the user can hold the finger rest 4 with both hands, and the fingers 9 will not press the strainer main body 5. Furthermore, the finger rest 4
The edge frame 3 can be gripped by hooking the fingertips onto the recess 4B provided in the rim.

As described above, by providing the finger rest 4 for preventing pressure on the colander main body 5 which extends below the edge frame 3, the fingers 9 can be directly placed on the side surface of the colander main body 5 when grasping the edge frame 3.
This prevents the net 6 from being pressed even if it is hooked, and the net 6 is prevented from being cut in the vicinity of the bent portion 4A.

Further, deformation of the colander main body 5 due to the pressure of the fingers 9 can be prevented.

Furthermore, by the recess 4B provided in the finger rest 4,
By hooking the fingers 9 onto this recess 4B, the strainer 1 can be held securely.

3 and 4 show a second embodiment and a third embodiment of the present invention, and the same parts as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the second embodiment, the opening 2 has a substantially oval shape, the finger rest 4 extending on the edge frame 3 is formed with its inner diameter slightly decreasing downward, and the colander main body 5 is curved. is formed. A convex portion 4C is provided on the circumference of the finger rest portion 4.

Therefore, when gripping the edge frame 3, the fingers 9 touch the finger rest 4 and the fingers 9 do not hang directly on the net 6 of the main body 5.
This embodiment has the same functions and effects as the first embodiment without having to press.

In the third embodiment, the opening 2 has a substantially rectangular shape, and a finger rest 4 having the same shape as the opening 2 extends integrally below the edge frame 3 and is connected to the finger rest 4. A main body 5 is provided, and the side surface of the colander main body 5 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape.

Therefore, when rice or the like is stored in the colander 1 and washed with water, the thumb is placed on the inside of the edge frame 3 and the edge frame 3 is gripped. There is no need to directly press the side surface of the colander main body 5, and the mesh 6 is prevented from being cut near the bent portion 4A.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the shape, dimensions, and size of the frame and the colander body can be selected as appropriate. Furthermore, various methods can be used for fixing the colander main body and the finger rest. Also, the fifth
As shown in the figure, the finger rest 4 may be provided with a convex portion 4C on which the fingers 9 rest when gripping the edge frame 3.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention is a colander in which an edge frame is provided on the upper edge of the colander main body, and a finger rest part for preventing pressure on the colander main body is provided by extending the edge frame downward. It is possible to provide a colander that can prevent the net from being pressed and damaged by fingers when gripping the edge frame side.
