Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Using a conventional household measuring cup, measure a very small amount of liquid. [Structure] A conventional measuring cup B is provided with measuring scales 5, 5a ... 5h on the bottom surface 3. Moreover, the side surface 8 is provided with measuring scales 5 ¹ , 5 ¹ a ... 5 ¹ h diagonally. Instead of the measuring scale 5 ¹ , 5 ¹ a ... 5 ¹ , a measuring scale may be provided on the lower circumference of the side surface portion of the measuring cup. Since the measuring cup of the present invention is suspended and measured, a small amount of liquid retained in a small space of the bottom surface 3 and a part of the side surface portion 8 can be measured.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a measuring cup for measuring the amount of liquid.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional home-use measuring cups have a large bottom area, making it impossible to measure a small amount of liquid.

[0003]

[Issues to be solved by the device]

 An object of the present invention is to provide a measuring cup provided with means for measuring a small amount of liquid with a conventional household measuring cup.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention allows the measurement cup to be tilted at an angle, so that the bottom surface of the measurement cup can be measured. Diagonally on the side. In addition, a measuring scale is provided on the circumference of the lower part of the side surface.

Further, if a knob or the like is provided at the base of the upper part of the handle, the measuring cup can be held obliquely and the measurement can be easily performed.

[0006]

[Action]

 When measuring a small amount of liquid with the measuring cup of the present invention, it is used by hanging it as shown in Fig. 3, so the amount of a small amount of liquid that remains in a small space consisting of the bottom surface and part of the right side surface Can be measured.

[0007]

【Example】

 Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 2, a part of a straight line intersecting with the symmetric surface of the measuring cup A and the bottom surface 3 is provided on the bottom surface 3 as a scale line 4, and the measuring scales 5, 5a ... 5h are provided horizontally on this straight line. Has been. Although FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention, instead of the knobs 6 and 7, a recessed portion which can be pinched with fingers may be provided near the upper base of the handle 1.

[0008] measuring cup C is on the side surface 8 of the measuring cup C as shown in FIG. 4, from the bottom of the handle 1 facing, oblique lines drawn in the direction of the knob 6 as gridlines 4 ^1, the straight line Is horizontally provided with measuring scales 5 ¹ , 5 ¹ a ... 5 ¹ h.

As shown in FIG. 5, the measuring cup D is provided with measuring scales 5 ² , 5 ² a ... 5 ² h on the lower circumference of the side surface portion 8 of the measuring cup D.

The measuring cup is not limited to a cylindrical shape, but may be an elliptical shape or a cylindrical shape such as a polygonal shape.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, a small amount of liquid can be measured by using these measuring scales together with a conventional household measuring cup, and its utility value is high, which is extremely effective in practical use. .

When measuring the liquid amount with the measuring cup according to the first aspect, the measurement value is easy to see because the liquid level can be measured from the wide mouth of the direct measuring cup without penetrating the container of the measuring cup. Also, this scale is well below the eye level, so you can read the scale naturally. Furthermore, even if the measuring cup of an opaque container is provided with this scale, measurement can be performed.
