Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a food cover for preventing dust etc. from getting on tableware and food placed on a table.

(Conventional technology) In many cases, it is not possible for the whole family to eat together in a typical household, and the housewives have to put in and take out the food each time, which requires a lot of work for housewives. Paper such as old newspapers was often used for this cover.

(Problems to be solved by this invention) By the way, it is unsanitary to directly cover food with newspapers, etc., and there is also a risk that the cover may blow away or partially turn over due to the wind.

This idea was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention is characterized in that a weight is attached to the side edge of the sheet and a notch is provided in the side edge.

(Example) A description will be given below based on the illustrated example. 1 shows the food cover of this invention. This food cover 1 is made of a square sheet of paper 2 etc. whose front and back surfaces are coated with paraffin or the like to make it waterproof. There are 3 notches.

Weights 4 are attached between the notches 3 along the four circumferential side edges. This weight 4 is made of synthetic resin or cardboard, etc., formed into a flat circular shape, and has 3 notches.
There are two stuck in between. In addition, lace-like border decorations 5 are fixed to the four peripheral side edges.

The weights attached along the four circumferential side edges can take a variety of shapes. That is, the weight 6 shown in FIG.
is formed into a larger flat circular shape, and is fixed one by one between three notches.

Further, the weight 7 shown in Fig. 3 is formed into a rod-shaped body made of synthetic resin or paper rope, and there are two types: a long one that is fixed completely between the three notches, and a shorter one that is fixed in the middle between the three notches. Furthermore, the weight 8 shown in FIG. 4 is formed into a flat rectangular shape.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the waterproof paper 9 is formed into a perfect circular shape, and cutouts 10 are provided radially at regular intervals on the circumferential edge thereof. And there is a notch 1 on the circumferential edge.
A weight 4 or a weight 7 similar to that of the above-mentioned embodiment or another suitable weight is attached between the holes, and a border decoration 5 is fixed.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the weight attachment portion. In this embodiment, the weight 7 is attached to a border 5, and the border 5 is fixed to the side edge portion of the paper 2.

When in use, the food cover 1 of this invention is placed over the food served on the table.

Although paper is used as the sheet in the embodiment, other materials such as cloth, synthetic resin, etc. may also be used.

(Effects of the invention) Since this invention has the above configuration, it has the following effects.

1) Since the weights are fixed continuously in parallel along the side edges, it can be used easily without fear of being stirred by the fixed wind. 2) In addition to the weight, notches are provided at appropriate intervals toward the center, so the entire side edge hangs down without any gaps, ensuring reliable coverage, and can be applied to any object, regardless of its height or height.
3) It can be used for a wide range of purposes such as tables, dining tables, study desks, and laboratory benches. 4) Especially when covering food for a banquet at an inn, etc., it will not be blown away by wind pressure when seated, and it will be easy to prepare at the restaurant. 5) Since the weight is flat, it does not get in the way, so you can use it as an apron to keep your clothes from getting dirty while eating. The weight is conveniently placed at the bottom so that it wraps around the body without being rolled up during movement. 6) When used at home, even thin paper such as napkin paper can be used several times and is inexpensive. 7) Can be used in a wide variety of materials such as cloth and vinyl.
