Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the spatula of a scraper durable. SOLUTION: This scraper is formed by combining a flexible resin spatula patty 1 having an appropriate shape whose edge is made thin with a rigid resin handle 3 having a fitting piece 4 which can be inserted in the fitting opening 2 of the spatula 1, at one end thereof. And further, a longitudinally split slender slit 5 is formed in the fitting piece 4 to make it elastic and the tip corners 6 are made round. Because of such a shape, a force acting on the spatula part is attenuated owing to the elasticity resulting from the slit 5 when it is used and also the inside of the spatula paty 1 brought into contact with the tip corners 6 is hardly damaged owing to the round shape of the tip corners 6 even if the scraper is repeatedly used.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scraper for wiping viscous cooking materials such as jams and sauces attached to bottles and cans.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a conventionally used scraper.

[0003] As shown in the figure, this scraper has a rectangular shape with a thin edge, has elasticity and is excellent in heat resistance. For example, it is composed of a thick handle portion 3 made of a hard resin such as polycarbonate.

[0004] A thin flat plate-shaped fitting piece 4 is formed at one end of the handle portion 3, and the fitting piece 4 is inserted into an elongated rectangular fitting hole 2 provided at the base of the spatula 1. By fitting
This is a structure in which the spatula 1 and the handle 3 are integrated.

[0005] By using this scraper to wipe off the viscous cooking material attached to the container, for example, all of the remaining cans in a can, jams in a bottle, and sticky margarine in a plastic container are completely used up. be able to.

[0006]

In the conventional scraper described above, since the handle 3 is made of a hard resin, a spatula is formed at the tip of the fitting piece 4 shown in FIG. The excessive force is concentrated via the pin 1 and the sharp tip corner 6 comes into tight contact with the inner wall of the soft resin spatula.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described drawbacks, and has as its object to provide a long-lasting scraper that minimizes damage to a spatula portion.

[0008]

That is, according to the present invention, there is provided a scraper for wiping viscous cooking materials such as jams and sauces adhered to the inside of a bottle or a can, wherein the scraper has a thin edge and a suitably shaped soft material. A hard resin handle (1) having a resin spatula (1) and a thin plate-shaped fitting piece (4) formed at one end thereof into a fitting opening (2) of the spatula (1). The fitting piece (4) is provided with a vertically elongated slit (5) to provide elasticity, and the tip corner (6) is rounded.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a scraper according to the present invention will be described. In order to simplify the description, in the following description, the same reference numerals are used for parts common to the related art.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a scraper to which the present invention is applied. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a square-shaped spatula portion having a thin edge portion. The spatula part 1 has elasticity and excellent heat resistance, for example, is made of silicone resin. In order to facilitate wiping off the attached matter, the thin part at the tip is slightly curled slightly forward, and This is the same product as the above-mentioned conventional type which is provided with the elongated rectangular fitting hole 2 into which the handle 3 described later is inserted.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a handle, which is made of a hard resin such as polycarbonate. One end of the handle 3 has the spatula 1
A thin flat fitting piece 4 that can be inserted into the fitting opening 2 is formed. Further, the fitting piece 4 is provided with a vertically long narrow slit 5 at a central portion to have elasticity. The tip corner portion 6 that comes into contact with the inner meat of the spatula portion 1 at the time of insertion has a rounded shape.

By inserting the fitting piece 4 of the handle portion 3 into the fitting opening 2 of the spatula portion 1, the spatula portion 1 and the handle portion 3 are integrated, and the scraper shown in FIG. 1 is assembled. A piece 7 near the base of the fitting piece 4 for preventing the spatula 1 from coming off.
Are formed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the fitting piece 4 is provided with the slit 5 which is elongated in the vertical direction so that the fitting piece 4 has elasticity. By absorbing the applied force, the unreasonable force applied to the spatula portion 1 can be reduced as much as possible. Further, as shown in FIG. The spatula portion 1 can be sufficiently durable for repeated use because it makes it difficult to damage the inner wall portion made of steel.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The fitting piece of the handle part inserted into the fitting opening of the spatula part is provided with a vertical slit to give elasticity, and the corner of the tip is rounded, so when using the scraper, it is impossible to add to the spatula part The force is alleviated by the elasticity of the fitting piece and the rounded tip corner makes it difficult to damage the inner wall of the spatula that comes into contact with it, so the scraper lasts long enough even after repeated use Become like
