[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a juice strainer for extracting (squeezing out) only a juice component from pulp obtained by crushing food such as vegetables and fruits, and particularly to a pitcher for storing filtered juice. The present invention relates to a simple juice strainer which comprises a strainer supported by a pitcher and two strainers supported by a pitcher, and which extracts juice by filtering pulp of vegetables, fruits and the like using the two strainers that are stacked.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a method of extracting only juice from fiber-containing foods such as raw vegetables and fruits, the pulp of crushed vegetables and fruits is wrapped in a gauze mesh cotton cloth or the like and squeezed with both hands. A simple tool, such as a filter with a large number of small holes and an umbrella-shaped press, is used to squeeze out the fruit juice placed on the filter by lowering the umbrella-shaped press. Kaihei 2-75012) was used for squeezing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the former of those described in the prior art, the squeezing is a manual work, and therefore there is a limit to the squeezing of juice (the squeezing must be abandoned with a considerable amount of juice in the pulp); There was a problem that it was unsanitary to pick up and was susceptible to bacteria. In the latter case, since the juice is squeezed out by pressing the fruit, pulp residue tends to adhere to the details of the equipment, and cleaning the equipment after use is very troublesome.

The present inventor has conducted extensive studies to provide a juice strainer which has not been obtained in the past, and as a result, prepared two strainers having substantially the same shape with firm waists and crushing them into a lower strainer. When the pulp of vegetables and fruits is received, and another strainer is overlaid on it and pressed, and the pressing force is applied, the elasticity of the mesh material is also added appropriately, and the juice drips from the strainer on the lower side. Or, it was found that it escaped above the through hole of the upper strainer and floated in the upper strainer, and that the purpose could be achieved, and the present invention was completed based on this finding. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to make juice from sanitary, smooth and reliable squeezing of juice from pulp of raw vegetables and fruits crushed with a mixer or mince, and to separate pulp into juice and pulp residue easily and easily. It is about providing juice strainers. Another object of the present invention is to provide a juice strainer which is easy to clean after use, has a form of separated pulp dregs, and can be easily disposed of and can be treated without soiling the hands. is there.

【Example】

 Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which each component of the juice strainer according to the present invention is separated, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state of use of the juice strainer in which each component is stacked, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the strainer, FIG. 4 is a front view of the juice strainer, and FIG. 5 is a VV vertical sectional view of FIG. In these figures, the juice strainer 1 includes a pitcher 10 for containing a filtered liquid, a first strainer 30 supported by an upper edge portion of a side wall of the pitcher 10, and a first strainer 30. And a second strainer 50 mounted on the. Of these, the pitcher 10 has a shelf portion 14 that supports the first strainer 30 on the outer periphery of the upper edge portion of the side wall, and stands up from the shelf portion 14 to guide the first strainer 30. Independent standing edges 15, 16, 17, 18 are formed by providing notches 19, 20, 21, 22 at substantially equal intervals. Reference numeral 12 is a handle. The first strainer 30 is integrally formed of plastics and includes a filtering portion 34 housed in the pitcher body, and a pair of left and right handles 32, 33 supported by the shelf portion 14 of the pitcher 10. ing. A large number of through holes 35 are formed in the filtering section 34. Reference numeral 31 is a handle used when discarding the pulp residue after use. Also, the second strainer 50 is integrally molded of plastics like the first strainer 30, is housed in the filtering section 34 of the first strainer 30, and is the filtering section 34 of the first strainer 30. And a pair of handles 52 and 53 that can be freely inserted into and removed from the handles 32 and 33 of the first strainer 30. A large number of through holes 55 are opened in the filtering portion 54.

Here, a method of using the juice strainer according to the present invention will be described. First, the first strainer 30 receives pulp of raw vegetables and fruits crushed with a mixer, mince or the like. Depending on the types of raw vegetables and fruits, the juice can be obtained by filtering the juice to some extent with only the first strainer 30, but most of the juice is still contained in the pulp. Therefore, a second strainer 50 is covered so as to overlap the first strainer 30 from above, and grips 32 and 52, 33 and 53 are held, and the second strainer 50 is pressed to apply a pressing force to the pulp. . By squeezing, the juice component in the pulp drips from the first strainer 30 to the pitcher 10 or floats above the second strainer 50. When the juice is obtained by floating on the upper part of the second strainer 50, the pitcher 10 is slanted to move the pitcher 10 from the spout 13 of the pitcher to the inside of the pitcher body 11 (the juice dripping from the first strainer 30 is collected. (The part that has a hole) and let it flow (see Fig. 5). After squeezing the juice from the pulp, the second strainer 50 is removed. Since pulp dregs obtained by squeezing out juice components are left in the first strainer 30, the handle 31 of the first strainer 30 is held, the first strainer 30 is removed from the pitcher 10, and then the pulp dregs are discarded. Transfer juice from the pitcher to a cup and drink. Juice is obtained from pulp by the above method. It should be noted that it may be preferable to form a protrusion having an inverted triangular cross section, for example, to assist the dripping of juice on the bottom frame of the first strainer. In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the filtering portions of the first and second strainers are formed integrally with the strainer main body portion, but even if only the filtering portion is formed in a mesh shape by a wire mesh. Of course good things. When the filtration part is formed by a wire mesh, the filtration part can be formed densely, and since the wire mesh has a unique elasticity, juice that has a good filtration rate will slowly drip, or inside the strainer in the upper part. It comes up to and is obtained.

[Effect of device]

 The present invention is configured as described above, and the present invention has the following effects. Since two strainers of almost the same shape are stacked to form a strainer part with many air holes above and below, when pressing the upper strainer to squeeze it, a space between the two strainers is required. The amount of juice contained in the pulp of raw vegetables and fruits sandwiched can be squeezed out smoothly and reliably in a hygienic condition. In addition, the juice is pushed out into the upper strainer, and the water extraction efficiency is high, and the pulp can be separated almost completely into juice and pulp. The juice strainer of the present invention is composed of a pitcher and two strainers, and since the shape of each of these components is not complicated, it is easy to clean after use. The separated pulp dregs have a morphology and can be disposed of easily without soiling the hands. In addition, since the spout is integrally formed with the pitcher side wall, and the spout is formed to project outward from the peripheral surface of the side wall of the pitcher and is formed to the same height as the shelf portion of the first strainer, Even if juice is obtained by floating on the upper part of the second strainer, if the juice is made to flow into the pitcher from the pitcher pouring outlet by moving the pitcher diagonally, the juice dripping from the first strainer will be obtained. Can be poured together.
