Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Purpose of the Invention (Industrial Technical Field) This invention relates to a holder for cooking utensils such as grilling skewers and knives, and convenience utensils having sharp tips.

(Prior Art) Generally, cooking utensils with sharp tips, such as grilled skewers, are stored by hanging them on a nail or the like using a ring attached to the base end when not in use. However, in this state, the sharp tips of grilled skewers and the like are exposed downward, so there is a risk of getting hurt if you touch them with your palms.

Furthermore, when carrying a large number of grilled skewers, etc., there is a risk that the grilled skewers, etc. placed on a tray or the like may break apart and fall to the bottom, resulting in getting stuck in the foot.

(Problems to be solved by this invention) This invention solves the above-mentioned problem that there is a risk of injury to the palms and feet when not in use or when in use, and moreover, it can accommodate multiple cooking utensils, etc. Another object of the present invention is to provide a holder for cooking utensils, etc., which is easy to mold.

Structure of the invention (means for solving the problem) Therefore, in this invention, a plurality of grooves that can accommodate the tip of a cooking utensil, etc., and that are shallower than the tip of the cooking utensil, etc. are formed on the substrate. The gist of the present invention is that the substrate is further provided with one pressing member that has a pressing effect on all the grooves and spans the width direction of all the grooves.

(Function) Therefore, a plurality of cooking utensils, etc. are housed separately in each groove, and the cooking utensils, etc. are held in pressure contact with each other by the pressing member to prevent them from falling out of the groove.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example in which this invention is embodied in a skewer holder will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a holder main body, and a pair of side walls 2 projecting slightly forward (upward in FIG. 1) are formed on both side edges of the lower part (left side in FIG. 1) of the substrate 1a.
Both side walls 2 extend from slightly forward of the lower end of the substrate 1a to near the center in the vertical direction, and their front ends are connected by a restraining plate 3. 4 is a storage chamber composed of a substrate 1a, a holding plate 3, and both side walls 2,
Its interior communicates with upper and lower openings 5, 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a plurality of (five in this embodiment) partitioning ridges extending parallel to the side wall 2 at equal intervals from the lower end of the substrate 1a toward the center in the vertical direction, and the partitioning ridges 7 are adjacent to each other. A recessed portion 8 serving as a groove portion is formed in between. This concave portion 8 is located on the substrate 1a.
It extends to a position slightly below the center in the vertical direction.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a locking protrusion formed to extend across the entire width of the board 1a at the lower end of the concave portion 8 of the board 1a, and 10 is a nail hole provided above the locking protrusion 9. In this embodiment, the holder main body 1 is molded from a hard synthetic resin material.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a pressure contact member 11 formed separately from the holder body 1, and is to be accommodated in the accommodation chamber 4 of the holder body 1 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. The pressing member 11 is made of an elastic member such as rubber, and its width matches the width of the accommodating chamber 4 of the holder main body 1. Further, the height of the pair of retaining parts 12 protruding from both upper and lower sides of the pressure contact member 11 corresponds to the plate thickness of the restraining plate 3, and the plate thickness of the mounting part 13 located between both retaining parts 12 is the same as that of the holder. This corresponds to the distance between the rear surface of the restraining plate 3 of the main body 1 and the partition protrusion 7.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, 14 is a grilled skewer supported by a holder, and a wide portion 14b extends downward from a tapered point 14a at the tip, and a handle 14c further extends downward from the tip. ing. The width of the wide portion 14b of the grilled skewer 14 matches the width of the concave portion 8, and the thickness thereof is slightly larger than the depth of the concave portion 8.

Now, the operation of the holder configured as described above will be explained below.

The upper retaining portion 12 of the pressing member 11 is strongly pressed against the lower opening 6 of the storage chamber 4 of the holder body 1. Then, the upper retaining portion 12 of the pressure contact member 11
is elastically deformed and press-fitted into the accommodation chamber 4 of the holder main body 1. The pressing member 11 is continued to be pushed upward until the upper retaining portion 12 of the pressing member 11 protrudes upward from the upper opening 5 of the accommodation chamber 4 of the holder main body 1.

When the upper retaining portion 12 of the pressure contact member 11 protrudes upward from the accommodation chamber 4 of the holder body 1, the mounting portion 1
3 is accommodated in the accommodation chamber 4, and the lower retaining portion 12 abuts against the lower end face of the pressing plate 3 of the holder body 1 and does not enter the accommodation chamber 4. As described above, the width of the pressure contact member 11 is the same as that of the accommodation chamber 4, and the thickness of the mounting portion 13 of the pressure contact member 11 is the same as the distance between the pressing plate 3 and the partition ridge 7, so that the entire space within the accommodation chamber 4 is filled by the pressure contact member 11, except for the recessed portion 8. At this time, the upper and lower retaining portions 12 exert their retaining effect, so the pressure contact member 11 is prevented from entering the accommodation chamber 4 by the holder body 1.
There is no natural departure from this.

After attaching the pressure contact member 11 to the holder body 1, insert the grilled skewer 14 into the concave portion 8 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
Push in from the pointed end 14a. When the pointed end 14a of the grilled skewer 14 passes through the concave portion 8 and then projects downward from the lower opening 5 of the storage chamber 4 and comes into contact with the locking protrusion 9, the upward movement of the grilled skewer 14 is stopped. At this time, since the thickness of the wide part 14b of the grilled skewer 14 is slightly larger than the depth of the concave part 8, the wide part 14b
The front portion in the thickness direction is pressed and held by the pressing member 11. Therefore, the horizontal movement of the tip of the grilled skewer 14 is restricted by the action of the concave portion 8, and the skewer 14 is held in a stable state within the holder because it is held under pressure by the pressing member. It doesn't come out naturally.

In the above holder, the pressure contact member 11
4 is strongly held, even if the holder is turned upside down or shaken with the grilled skewer 14 attached, the grilled skewer 14 will not come off from the holder and cause an accident.

Further, since the pressure contact member 11 can be formed in one piece for the plurality of concave portions 8, the holder can be easily molded.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, the number of concave portions 8 can be set to any number greater than or equal to 2 depending on the application, and the pressing member 11 can be replaced with rubber and made of soft synthetic resin. It may be formed of material, sponge, etc., or it may be formed using a plate spring mounted inside the holder body 1 as the pressure contact member 11 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. A protruding protrusion P is provided, and the protrusion P is made to protrude slightly into the concave portion 8 to form the grilled skewer 1.
Of course, arbitrary changes can be made as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the invention, such as to more reliably maintain the 4th grade.

Effects of the invention As detailed above, this invention can reliably accommodate multiple cooking utensils without falling out, and since it is only necessary to provide one pressure contact member for multiple grooves, the This is a practically preferable idea because it has the excellent effect of making it easier.
