TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a sprout container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bean sprouts are one of the ingredients for cooking to be provided to customers in various restaurants. In particular, bean sprouts are often used in large quantities at ramen shops. By the way, bean sprouts are usually placed in a container filled with water in order to oxidize them if they are exposed to the atmosphere, and if necessary, the cook can sprout the beans from the above container. I scoop only the necessary amount and use it for cooking. Conventionally, as a container for bean sprouts, a so-called Ichito can made of tin was used and placed on the floor of a kitchen.

[0003]

However, if a tin one-pot can was used as a bean sprout container and placed on the floor of the kitchen, the cook would scoop the bean sprouts out of the container. He had to bend his hips, which often hurt his back when he often scooped bean sprouts. In addition, when replenishing the bean sprouts when the amount of bean sprouts in the container is reduced, the hand is injured when grasping and lifting the edge of the container by the water replacement work in the container. It also happens. That is, even if the above-mentioned tin one-pot can is touched to the edge of the opening to make it smooth to some extent, the jagged portion that is sometimes left on the edge is May be injured. Further, since some dust is mixed in the bean sprouts, it is desirable that the bean sprouts be easily removed, but the conventional containers do not have a function effective in removing the dust.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Specific contents of the sprouts container of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of one bean sprouts container, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which two bean sprouts containers of the present invention are used in a stacked state and combined. is there. In FIG. 1, A is a container body, B is a lid member, and the container body A and the lid member B are, for example,
Each can be formed of a molded product using a synthetic resin material. Further, C is an elastic coupling member 5 that can be removably fitted in the opening 1 in the container main body A, one end of which is coupled to the elastic coupling member 5, and a mesh is present at least near the other end. 6a, 6a ... And a filter member 6 configured. The elastic coupling member 5 that can be detachably fitted into the opening 1 in the container body A is
As shown in the figure, the container body A may be detachably fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the opening 1 or may be detachably mounted to the inner peripheral surface of the opening 1 of the container body A. You may make it the structure which can be fitted to.

The elastic coupling member 5 can be constructed by selecting an appropriate material from natural rubber, butyl rubber, butadiene-styrene rubber, and other synthetic rubbers. In addition, the bag-shaped filter member 6 whose one end is connected and fixed to the elastic coupling member 5 described above has the other end, that is, the bottom part of the bag, which has a relatively coarse mesh shape. . The filter member 6 is preferably made of a polymer material. That is,
This is because when natural fiber is used as a constituent member of the filter member 6, the odor of sprouts must be replaced during the use of the filter member 6 every relatively short period of time.

The bag-shaped filter member 6 may be entirely made of a net-like constituent material, but in that case, the peripheral portion except the bottom is
It is necessary that a fine mesh be used that cannot pass the sprouts. The bag-shaped filter member 6 described above may be formed of a thin film or a thin plate made of a polymer material in the peripheral portion except for the bottom portion which is formed in a relatively coarse mesh. The above-mentioned bag-shaped filter member 6 has a mesh-like bottom portion having a relatively coarse mesh functioning to pass dust having a larger specific gravity than sprouts. When the elastic coupling member 5 is fitted in the opening 1 in the container body A, the bag-shaped filter member 6 is the same as the internal space surrounded by the inner wall of the container body A. The filter member 6 may have a size, or may have a size such that the bottom portion of the bag-shaped filter member 6 is located in a spatial position at a certain distance from the bottom portion of the container body A. It may be configured as one.

The portion indicated by reference numeral 2 in the container main body A is a water discharger for discharging the water inside the container main body A to the outside, and this discharger 2 is used as necessary. It is provided. Further, in the container body A, a portion indicated by reference numeral 3 is a hose receiving member for inserting a tip of a water hose when new water is injected into the container body A. The member 3 is constructed so that it can be slid on and removed from the mounting member 7 provided on the container body A. Reference numeral 4 in the drawing is a handle, and this handle 4 is provided with a through hole 4a that fits into a shaft 8 provided in the container body A. The handle 4 is used for carrying a sprouts container, and in the state where the lid member B is fitted in the opening of the container body A, the handle 4 is fitted in the groove 9 provided in the lid member B. By doing so, it is also used to connect the container body A and the lid member B. The projection 10 provided on the lid member B acts so as to close the opening of the discharge part 2 provided on the container body portion A when the lid member B and the container body portion A are combined.

From the opening 1 of the container body A shown in the exploded perspective view of FIG. 2, the filter member 6 of the member C is put into the internal space of the container body A, and the elastic coupling member 5 of the member C is inserted. In a state of being fitted into the opening 1 of the container body A, a predetermined amount (for example, 4 kg) of bean sprouts is put into the opening 1 of the container body A, and a predetermined amount of water is injected. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which two sprouts containers having the structure described above with reference to FIG. 2 are used by being stacked and combined, and in FIG. The components indicated by reference numerals A1 and A2 in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 1, by using two sprout containers in a stacked state, they can be used to easily remove the bean sprouts from the sprouts container without bending the cook. You can

The stacking mode of the two bean sprouts containers shown in FIG. 1 is such that the upper surface of the lid member B1 installed on the floor is
The container body A2 of the bean sprouts container is placed and the two are connected. As means for connecting between the lid member B1 and the container body portion A2 of the bean sprouts container, for example, a plurality of connecting claws provided around the upper portion of the lid member B1 can be used to connect the container body portion A2 of the bean sprouts container. By pressing the outer peripheral surface of the bottom part, the above two parts are joined together, or the cover member B1
A plurality of coupling projections provided on the upper surface of the above can be fitted into a coupling hole provided at the bottom of the container body A2 of the bean sprouts container so as to couple the two.

As described above, a lid member B2 is fitted into the opening 1 of the container body A2 of the sprouts container joined to the lid member B1, and the sprouts container is placed on the upper surface of the lid member B2. The main body A1 is placed and the two are connected. Lid member B2
And the container body A1 of the bean sprouts container is connected to both the lid member B1 and the container body A2 of the bean sprouts container by the same means as described above. Any connecting means can be adopted. The stacking mode of the two sprouts containers is not limited to the stacking mode as shown in FIG. 1, and the lid member B1 and the lid member B2 are shown in FIG. It may be used by turning it over from the existing state.

As shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 1, while the two sprouts containers are stacked and joined together to proceed with the work, the beans in the container body A1 of the upper sprouts container are processed. When all the sprouts have been taken out, the operation can be continued simply by exchanging the positions of the container body A1 of the empty bean sprouts container and the container body A2 of the lower bean sprouts container. . When all the bean sprouts in the container body A of the bean sprouts container are taken out, or when the remaining amount is low, the member C attached to the opening 1 in the container body A, that is, the elastic coupling A member C including a member 5 and a filter member 6 having one end connected to the elastic coupling member 5 and having meshes 6a, 6a formed at least near the other end is a container body. After removing it from A, scoop a very small amount of bean sprouts floating in the water in the container body A with a hand or a net, and then remove the waste submerged in the container body A from the container. Discard with the water in the body A. Then, the filter member 6 of the member C is put into the internal space of the container body A through the opening 1 of the container body A, and the elastic coupling member 5 of the member C is fitted into the opening 1 of the container body A. In this state, a predetermined amount (for example, 4 kg) of bean sprouts may be put through the opening 1 of the container body A and a predetermined amount of water may be injected.
