[0006]

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a ladle 1 in the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a handle portion, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a tip portion on the head side of FIG. The head 11 is formed by molding a single metal plate into a substantially pot-like shape, and has a hole 12 for draining from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head. A tubular connecting portion 13 having a rectangular cross-sectional shape is fixed to the head 11, and a handle 14 is inserted into the connecting portion and fixed by a fixing bolt 15. The material of the head 11 may be any metal that does not rust, and suitable materials include stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and copper.

In this example, since the head 11 is a molded product of a stainless steel plate having a thickness of 1.2 mm, the peripheral portion is resistant to impact unlike a net-like material formed by braiding iron wire. The diameter of the drainage hole 12 is 10 mm, and at least at the bottom of the head, the total ratio of the hole area to the area of the bottom, that is, the opening ratio is 30% or more. It is not inferior to a net-like material, and is easy to clean without food being caught. In addition, the handle 14 is detachable from the tubular connecting portion 13 by opening and closing the stop bolts 15, so that the inside of the handle 14 and the tubular connecting portion 13 can be easily washed, and the hygiene is excellent.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the handle 14 of FIG.
In this example, F.W. R. A reinforcing material 22 made of P is provided, and a sheet made of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin is further provided around the reinforcing material 22 as a protective material 23. In addition, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin (not shown) is provided at both ends in the length direction of the handle, so that watertightness is maintained over the entire length and heat resistance and abrasion resistance are also excellent. It is durable and hygienic. The plastic of the protective material 23 may be a heat-resistant plastic of at least 100 ° C. that can withstand hot water disinfection.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an end inserted into the tubular connecting portion of the handle 14 in FIG. A nut 32 is buried in the end portion at substantially the same position as the opening provided in the tubular connecting portion, and serves to connect and fix the handle and the head by the fixing bolt 15 in FIG. As described above, since it is detachable by the bolt, it is easy to clean the inside of the tubular connecting portion where dirt easily accumulates.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of the vicinity of the head according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a hollow stainless steel handle 42 is fixed to a head 41 formed of a stainless steel plate having a thickness of 0.7 mm into a substantially pot shape. A hole 43 having a diameter of 8 mm is formed in the head 41 to maintain drainage performance.

A portion 44 where no hole is provided is provided in a region of the head where the handle is fixed. Since the head is violently swung up and down when a vegetable or the like is drained, a large force is applied to the portion to which the handle is fixed, so that the hole is not provided, which has an effect of preventing strength deterioration.

The peripheral portion 45 of the head 41 is provided with a bent portion 51 which is bent outward as shown in FIG. The bent portion 51 has a great effect on improving the strength of the head, and can withstand severe use even if a thin metal plate is used as a material for the head to reduce the weight of the head. At the tip of the bent portion 51 in this example,
A gap 55 is formed between the pot 54 and the food so that no food material remains.
Is provided. The shape of the tip of the bent portion 51 is arbitrary, and the strength of the head can be further improved by providing a bent portion in which the tip is double-folded or bent more than once. Further, a clear gap may be provided in a state where the bent end is bent outward, but the width of the gap 55 is 70% of the maximum width of the cross section of the bent portion for cleaning and draining of the bent portion.
It is desirable to have the above.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the bent portion may be configured such that the distal end of the bent portion 61 is in contact with the pot portion 64, thereby sealing the bent portion. If you do this,
It is sanitary because water and food can be prevented from entering the bent portion. As shown in FIG. 6, when welding the ends of the bent portions by brazing or the like, it is possible to more completely prevent the invasion of food materials and to improve the strength.

FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the vicinity of the head according to another embodiment. In this example, a connecting portion 72 with a handle portion is fixed to a head portion 71 formed of a stainless steel plate having a thickness of 0 and 5 mm into a substantially pot shape, and a wooden handle 73 is attached to the connecting portion 72 with bolts and nuts 74. It is attached by. Reference numeral 77 denotes a peripheral portion for reinforcing the head 71.

A hole 75 is formed in the head 71 to maintain the draining performance, but a holeless portion 76 having no hole is provided.
Is provided in a substantially cross-shaped form. The purpose of this is to prevent the bottom of the head from being relatively dented when the metal plate, which is the material of the head, is made thinner to reduce the weight of the head.
This non-hole portion can be provided in any portion.

FIG. 8 shows the peripheral portion 7 of the head 71 in FIG.
7 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating an example of FIG. In FIG. 8, a bent portion 81 is provided at a peripheral portion, and the inside of the bent portion 81 is filled with a synthetic resin material 82 to prevent water and food from entering and remaining.

FIG. 9 is a partial sectional view of an example in which the peripheral portion 77 of FIG. 7 has another configuration. A round bar 91 made of stainless steel, which is a reinforcing material, is joined to the entire periphery of the peripheral portion 77 in this example. As the reinforcing material, a method of fixing a stainless steel thin plate over the entire periphery of the peripheral edge in addition to the round bar may be used, or a method of fixing these reinforcing materials without bending the peripheral edge may be used. When a thin metal plate is used to reduce the weight of the head, these reinforcing materials have a large effect of preventing the peripheral portion of the head from becoming relatively weak and improving impact resistance.

The metal plate forming the head used in the present invention may be a metal plate that does not rust or has been subjected to rust-prevention processing, and its material is not limited. The pattern is wooden, metal,
The material is not limited, such as plastic, FRP, a material in which a plastic protective material is provided around wood as a core material, or a material in which an arbitrary reinforcing material is disposed between a wooden core and a plastic protective material and reinforced. The cross-sectional shape of the tubular connecting portion and the handle inserted therein may be any shape such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle, and the shape and length.

As described in the above embodiments, the present invention eliminates the easiness of breakage of a mesh and the danger of breakage, and is lightweight, safe, easy to wash, sanitary, and durable. An easy-to-use ladle can be obtained.
