Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to handles for cooking utensils such as knives, spades, ladles, etc., eating utensils such as spoons and forks, and other utensils.

[Problems to be Solved by the Prior Art and Ideas] Conventionally, when the entire surface of the handle is made of a hard material, the handle feels uncomfortable when the handle is held in the hand during use. Furthermore, when gripping the handle, the grip is not applied with the same amount of force, and even among the hands that grip the handle, the force is particularly applied to the thumb and index finger. Therefore, I felt that my thumb, index finger, etc. had a poor feel.

In addition, when the entire surface of the handle is made of a soft material, it does not feel uncomfortable to the thumb or index finger, but it has the disadvantage of lacking stability when gripped and used.

Therefore, the present invention has been developed to provide handles for cooking utensils, eating utensils, etc. that are stable when used by grasping the handles, and that do not feel unpleasant to the thumb or index finger, etc., which require special pressure when gripping. is intended to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, in the first invention of the present application, for the front end of the grip made of a hard material,
The gist is that a support part to which the proximal end of the tool is attached and a recess into which a finger rest made of a soft material is fitted are provided.

In the second invention, in a handle consisting of a gripping part and a cap attached to the front end thereof, a recess is formed in the front end of the gripping part over the end face and the surface, and a finger rest is fitted into the recess, The gist is that the finger rest is locked by the cap.

[Function] In the first invention of the present application, the main body of the tool is supported by a grip made of a hard material. In addition, the thumb, index finger, and the like, which require particular force when gripping the grip part, are placed on the finger rest part made of a soft material.

In the second invention, the base has the original function,
It also functions as a stopper for the finger rest.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The handle of this embodiment includes a grip part 1, a finger rest part 6, and a cap 8.
It is composed of. The grip portion 1 is integrally molded from a hard synthetic resin as a hard material. A step-like fitting part 2 into which a cap 8 is fitted is formed at the front end of the grip part 1, and the center part of the fitting part 2 and the cap 8 is connected to a shank 10 which is the main body of the tool. Insertion holes 3 and 9 into which the core 11 is inserted are formed, and the insertion hole 3 formed in the fitting portion 2 constitutes a support portion. A recess 4 that is open forward and upward is formed at the upper front end of the grip 1 near the base 8 . A dovetail groove 5 extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the inner bottom surface of the recess 4, and the dovetail groove 5 is open toward the front of the grip part 1.

The finger rest part 6 is integrally molded from a soft synthetic resin as a soft material, and a dovetail 7 is formed at the lower part thereof. The dovetail 7 of the finger rest 6 is inserted into the dovetail groove 5 of the recess 4 of the grip part 1, and the finger rest 6 is inserted into the dovetail groove 5 of the recess 4 of the grip part 1.
The finger rest 6 is exposed on the surface of the grip 1. This finger rest part 6 is latched to a cap 8 fitted to the fitting part 2 of the grip part 1 and
It is designed to prevent it from falling out from the front.

The handle of this embodiment configured in this way is used by grasping the grip part 1 with the hand as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, for example, but in either case,
Finger rest part 6 where the thumb or index finger is made of soft synthetic resin
is applied to. During use, pressure is applied particularly to the thumb and index finger, but the action of the finger rest 6 prevents the thumb or index finger from feeling uncomfortable. Moreover, since the grip part 1 is made of hard synthetic resin, stability when gripped by hand is maintained.

Next, a second embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a knife handle will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

The handle of this embodiment is composed of a grip part 21 and a finger rest part 23. Grip part 21 made of hard synthetic resin
A recess 22 is formed at the front end of the finger over the entire outer periphery, and a cylindrical finger rest 23 made of soft synthetic resin is fitted into the recess 22.

In the handle of the second embodiment configured in this manner, fingers made of soft synthetic resin are provided on the entire outer periphery of the front end of the handle, which is considered to be the place where the thumb and index finger tend to apply force when gripping the handle in use. Abutting part 2
3, no matter how the user grips the finger, the finger will not touch the finger rest 23 and the finger will not feel uncomfortable. Moreover, it maintains stability when held in the hand.

Furthermore, in the handles of the first and second embodiments, the finger rests 6, 23 are made of soft synthetic resin, and their elasticity also provides an anti-slip effect.

In this case, the anti-slip effect can be enhanced by using a soft synthetic resin with a high friction coefficient.

Note that the tool embodying the handles of the first and second embodiments is not limited to a spatula or a kitchen knife, but may be any other tool such as a ladle, spoon, or fork.

Further, the location where the finger rest made of soft synthetic resin is provided is not limited to the location described above, but may be on both sides of the handle or on the bottom side.

[Effects of the invention] As detailed above, in the first invention of the present application, the finger rest part against which the thumb, index finger, etc., which particularly applies force when gripping the grip part with the hand, is formed of a soft material. The grip is made of hard material, so you can use it comfortably without feeling any discomfort even if you put pressure on your fingers.The grip itself is made of hard material, so it not only maintains stability when you grip it. ,
This provides an excellent effect in that the main body of the tool is also stably and reliably supported.

In the second invention, since the member that originally functions as a cap also serves as a stopper for the finger rest, it has an excellent effect of facilitating attachment of the finger rest to the grip.
