Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spatula for cleaning a dirty kochel after eating during mountain climbing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cleaning of a dirty kocher after eating during mountain climbing has been performed mainly by wiping with toilet paper, tissue paper, kitchen paper or the like. Even in a place where Kochel can be washed with water, once the person enters the tent, there are various difficulties in getting out, so the above method is also often used.

[0003]

The above-mentioned method has a drawback in that, especially when cleaning a deep-type or small-sized koher, dirt on the side of the koher adheres to the hand and causes discomfort. Also, a large amount of paper is required to clean the kochel, and the amount of paper dust generated is large, so
This was one of the major problems due to the mountaineering aimed at making the load lighter and smaller. Furthermore, it may be difficult to remove stains on the Kochel just by wiping it with paper, and it was troublesome to remove them. It is an object of the present invention to provide a spatula for cleaning a kocher that solves the problems that occur in such conventional methods.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Water is extremely valuable in mountain climbing and is rarely used for anything other than cooking and drinking. Therefore, as a method of removing the dirt from the kochel, one is to wipe it off and the other is to scrape it off.

Conventionally, a wiping method is generally used, and no devise has been made on a tool for scraping off. Therefore, for the above purpose, the cleaning spatula of the Kocher of the present invention is composed of a spatula part having several kinds of blades to be used and a handle part which can be freely attached and detached. For the handle, spoons, forks, knives, bottle openers, can openers, and chopsticks, which are essential for mountaineering, are used. FIG. 3 is an example of a spatula, and is provided with handle mounting holes 3 and 4 opening in different directions. FIG. 4 shows another example of a spatula, which is provided with an aggregate 6 which also functions as a handle guide groove and a handle rotating shaft or bearing. Suitable materials for the spatula are aluminum, which is widely used as a material for kochels, and vinyl, which is hard to scratch the coating material on the surface of the kochel.

[0006]

[Operation] Since a person must carry the load on a mountain climbing, weight reduction and downsizing of the load are one of the major problems. For that purpose, it is necessary to devise a tool so that it can be used in multiple ways by making it multi-functional, and the so-called Totoku knife is a typical example. Spoons used for meals and spatulas used for cleaning kochers after meals are similar in shape and purpose of use, and it is rational to combine these into a lightweight and compact tool. If the handle is fixed to the spatula in the mode shown in FIG. 1, it does not hinder the cleaning of the side portion of the koher, but since the slave blade B is short, it is not suitable for cleaning the bottom portion of the kochel. On the other hand, if the secondary blade B is lengthened, when cleaning the side of the Kochel,
In addition to the problem that a large amount of force is required to hold the handle and the arm becomes tired, the weight and capacity of the spatula increase, and cleaning of a small kochel becomes difficult.
If the handle is fixed to the spatula in the mode shown in FIG. 2, not only the function as a spoon is impaired, but also portability is problematic, and the use is limited only to cleaning the bottom of the kochel. For the above reasons, the spatula for cleaning the kocher of the present invention has the spatula and the grip mounting mode shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 by the grip mounting hole and the grip rotation shaft or the bearing which are opened in different directions. It is configured to be able to.

[0007] A spoon or the like is rarely carried as a single item for mountaineering, and usually a combination of a few items is usually carried. Therefore, in order to avoid overlapping of the spatula, it is extremely possible to make the spatula and the handle detachable. It's important. FIG. 3 shows an example of a spatula, in which the handle is attached to the handle attachment hole 4 in the mode shown in FIG. 1, and the main blade A is mainly used for cleaning the side of the Kochel, and the secondary blade B is small. Used for cleaning the bottom of the kochel. Next, the handle is attached to the handle attaching hole 3 as shown in FIG.
The main blade A is used for cleaning the bottom of the kochel in the mode shown in FIG. The other blade C is used to scrape off fine dirt and dirt that is particularly hard to remove. The contact angles of the main blade A and the slave blade B are rounded to be used for cleaning curved contact portions on the side and bottom of the kochel.

FIG. 4 shows another example of the spatula, which corresponds to the rotary shaft or bearing formed on the handle, and corresponds to the rotary shaft or bearing 7 of the handle.
And a handle guide groove 5 is provided by connecting the handle mounting holes 3 and 4 shown in FIG. 3 so that the spatula and handle mounting modes shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be easily switched with one hand. It was to so. The aggregate 6 is necessary for providing the handle rotation shaft or the bearing 7, and this has the function of maintaining the strength of the spatula and securely fixing the handle in the handle guide groove 5.

[0009]

[Embodiment] The handle is preferably thick in terms of gripping comfort, but a thin plate having a width of 1 to 2 cm is suitable in consideration of an increase in weight and capacity and stability of attachment to a spatula. Since the thickness is related to the length of the other blades C, the thickness of the spoon or the like may be the same. It is suitable that the length of the main blade A is about 2 to 9 cm, the length of the secondary blade B is about 1 to 3 cm so as to slightly project to both sides of the handle, and the other blades C are about 3 to 15 mm. In the example of the spatula shown in FIG. 3, when the handles are exchanged between the handle mounting holes 3 and 4, dirt may adhere to the fingertips, but the spatula has a simpler structure than the other examples of the spatula shown in FIG. The handle can be attached without any special processing on the handle. In the other example of the spatula shown in FIG. 4, since the attachment mode of the handle can be easily switched,
Although more convenient than the example of the spatula in FIG. 3, the handle also requires a rotating shaft or a bearing. In both the spatula example of FIG. 3 and the spatula example of FIG. 4, it is necessary that the spatula part and the grip part can be freely separated, but the spatula other example of FIG. 4 is a case where a dedicated grip is used. Is not this limitation.

A spatula for cleaning a kochel, in which a spatula is fixed to a spoon and a fork in the mode shown in FIG. 1, is also conceivable.
It is also a good idea to process the spatula as a knife sheath, or to engrave the surface of the spatula with irregularities like a file and use it as a substitute for a scourer. The handle mounting hole is not limited to two and can be formed appropriately. Further, a spatula which can be rotated by 360 degrees by omitting the handle guide groove 5 as another example of the spatula of FIG. 4 is also conceivable.

[0011]

The spatula for cleaning the kochher of the present invention has a structure in which the direction of the spatula can be changed so that the side part and the bottom part of the kochher can be cleaned. By effectively using several types of blades according to the degree, it is possible to efficiently remove stains that are difficult to remove by conventional methods, stains that do not stain, and stains that are troublesome to remove.

Compared with the conventional method of wiping dirt off with paper, the required amount of paper and the amount of paper dust generated are reduced, which leads to downsizing and weight saving of the load, and the hand seen in the conventional cleaning. Dirt can be eliminated. Further, even if the kochel can be washed with water, if it is simply cleaned with a spatula for cleaning the kochel before washing with water, it also has the effect of reducing contamination of the water system.
