Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a net-type rice sharpener.

Net-type rice scrubbers are especially useful for scrubbing small amounts of rice, and the rice can be scrubbed cleanly under running water due to the friction between the rice grains inside the rice scrubber and the friction between the rice grains and the net. It is characterized by

As shown in Figure 1, the conventional net-type rice sharpener consists entirely of a flexible net, and the rice is removed by supporting the top (neck) and bottom of the net with both hands and shaking it under running water. I was talking.

However, since this type of rice sharpener is made entirely of a net, it generally does not have a lid. Rice sometimes spewed out from the mouth of the neck.

Also, shaking large amounts of rice with both hands was a burden on housewives and children who lacked the strength.

For this reason, rice was often washed by placing the bottom part of a net at the bottom of a sink, etc., and moving the net up and down, left and right, or rotating it under running water or standing water.

However, in this case, the mesh at or near the bottom of the net becomes very deformed, and while the grains are being pushed by the weight of the rice itself, they can gradually slip out through the net. It happened often.

This is because in order to improve the drainage of the net, we used a mesh net that was as large as possible to prevent rice grains from coming out.

For this reason, a rice sharpener with a smaller net mesh was devised, but this had practical problems as it had poor drainage and water displacement within the net, resulting in poor rice scrubbing performance.

The present invention was developed in view of these points, and is characterized by the fact that the rice grains do not drain out of the net while maintaining good drainage performance of the net, and the rice grains do not scatter from the mouth even when shaken strongly. I have to.

The configuration of the present invention will be described below based on examples.

1 is a net type rice sharpener of the present invention, which is mainly composed of a net type body part 2, a lower bottom part 3, an upper neck part 4, and a lid 5 at the upper end of the neck part 4.

The body 2 has a mesh size that is strong enough to allow rice to be placed inside and shaken, and that rice grains hardly spill out between the meshes, and that has good drainage. It is manufactured from a flexible bag-shaped net 6.

The bottom part 3 below the body part 2 is made of a mesh net 7 which is much finer than the net 6 of the body part 2, so that it is absolutely impossible for rice grains to pass through even if the rice grains are expanded, contracted or deformed.
It is formed integrally with the body part 2.

The neck part 4 is made of a rigid body made of synthetic resin or metal, and is firmly fixed to the net 6 of the body part 2, and is sufficiently designed to prevent the connected parts from tearing or coming off when the rice is being combed.

Furthermore, since the neck portion 4 is held and shaken by the hand, it is desirable to set the neck portion 4 to be at least longer than the width of the back of the hand.

A lid 5 is removably attached to the upper end of the neck 4, and rice is taken in and taken out from an attachment opening 5' of the lid 5, so that rice will not spill out of the rice sharpener 1 under any circumstances.

Further, the tip of the lid 5 protrudes upward from the lower end of the neck portion 4 by about 1 mm, so that no space is formed.

When rice is sharpened using the rice sharpener 1 having such a structure, the lid 5 is first removed, a predetermined amount of rice is inserted through the attachment opening 5' of the lid 5, and the lid 5 is closed.

Then, as shown in the conventional embodiment, place the rice scrubber 1 under a water faucet, etc., and use both hands to remove the neck 4 and bottom 3 of the rice scrubber 1.
You can apply water to the body 2 of the rice scrubber 1 and shake it while flowing it through the net 6, or place the bottom 3 of the rice scrubber 1 at the bottom of the sink and pour water into the net 6 of the body 2. While applying the rice, hold the neck part 4 and shake it to sharpen the rice.

When the rice has been sharpened, the lid 5 is removed and the rice is taken out for cooking.

As described above, in the rice sharpener of the present invention, the very thin mesh net 7 is integrally attached to the bottom part 3 of the net 6 of the body part 2, so no rice is removed from the 6.7 parts of these nets. In addition to being able to wash the rice with confidence without spilling, the rice inlet/outlet is sealed, and the neck 4 is easy to grip with the hand, making it very easy to work with. Since it is kept in good condition, anyone can now easily and easily clean rice, regardless of whether it is a large amount or a small amount.

In this embodiment, the bottom part 3 is formed of a mesh net 7 so fine that rice cannot pass through it at all.
Although it is configured to be integrally continuous with the net 6 of the body 2, the net 7 may be made of a material that has some water permeability, such as cloth, and does not allow rice to pass through, or The same effect can be obtained even if a fine mesh net or cloth is attached to the bottom part 3 of the net 6 of the body part 2 which integrally constitutes the bag to make it double.
