Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a rice bin, such as a measuring type rice bin, which is equipped with a measuring basin so that a fixed amount of rice can be removed from the rice bin body.

Conventionally, this type of rice bin has a top opening of the rice bin body covered with a flat top plate, and even if small items are placed on the top plate, it is not possible to put small items in or take them out from the top plate etc. It was not something that could be stored freely.

This invention consists of a box-shaped lid that closes the upper opening of the rice jug body and is detachably attached to the rice jug body.The lid is also provided with a storage area for small items. Accordingly, it is used as a lid to close the upper opening of the rice jar body, and at the same time, the space above the rice jar body is effectively utilized by storing small items such as seasonings such as sugar, rice flour, and barley, and grains in the accessory storage section. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a more convenient version of this type of rice jug as a kitchen utensil.

Several embodiments of this invention will be sequentially explained below using a measuring rice bin as an example.

1 and 2 show a first embodiment, in which 1 is a rice bin body, 2 is a bottom lid fixed to the lower end of the rice bin body 1, and a box frame 3 is placed on the bottom lid 2. A rice container 4 is stored in the box frame 3 so that it can be taken in and out.

The rice receiver is provided with a measuring basin 5 at the top of the container 4, with a discharge port 5a at the bottom and an opening 5b at the top. The discharge port 5a and the rice receiver are in communication with the container 4a of the container 4, so that the rice is dropped into the container 4.

The upper part of this weighing box part 5 is connected to the outlet of the hopper 6,
The upper lower part of the rice bin body 1 above the hopper 6 is used as the rice input port.

This upper part lower is formed by bending the upper edge of the rice jug main body 1 inward to form a bent part 10, and is formed at the inner diameter part of this bent part 10.

Reference numeral 8 is a lever for operating the weighing box portion 5 to dispense a certain amount of rice from the hopper 6; 9 is formed above the lever 8;
A viewing window 4b made of a transparent material is used to check the remaining amount of rice in the hopper 6, and a rice receiver is a handle of the container 4.

A box-shaped lid 11 is removably provided in the upper opening I of the rice bin main body 1, and the bottom 13 of the lid 11 is intended to close the lower part between the upper parts of the rice bin main body 1.

That is, the locking piece 13a hanging from the bottom part 13 is fitted into the bent part 10 forming the lower part between the upper parts of the rice bin main body 1 to position the lid 11, and at the same time, the lower part between the upper parts and prevents the lid body 11 from being inadvertently rotated with respect to the rice bin body 1.

Into the space of the lid 11, a plurality of small article storage containers 14 each having a small article storage section 15 formed therein as shown in the first figure are inserted into and out of the opening 12 thereof.

In this case, a hook member 16 with a bulged head is fixed to each rear end surface of the accessory storage container 14, and a fitting member 17 is attached to the rear inner wall surface of the lid body 11 facing the hook member 16. This hooking member 16 is force-fitted into the fitting member 17 to fix the accessory storage container 14 to the lid 11, and when the rice bin main body 1 is rocked or when rice is put into the rice bin, the lid 11 is fixed to the rice bin main body 1. This is to prevent the accessory storage container 14 from being pulled out from the lid 11 even if the lid 11 is tilted when removed from the container.

Therefore, the contents will not leak out from the accessory storage container 14.

The mechanism for preventing the object storage container 14 from being removed from the lid 11 may be configured by exerting a magnetic attraction force at corresponding positions therebetween.

11a is a grip portion of the lid 11, and 14a is a small item storage container 14.
A rising wall 18 is provided on the upper outer peripheral edge of the lid body 11 to prevent an electric rice cooker or the like from slipping down when placed on the upper surface of the rising wall 18. It is.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment, which is similar to the previous embodiment in that a plurality of accessory storage containers 14 are inserted into and out of the lid 11 at will.

However, as a mechanism for preventing the accessory storage container 14 from being removed from the lid 11, a recess 13 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom 13 of the lid 11.
b, and the bottom of the accessory storage container 14 is formed with a convex portion 14b that fits into the recess 13b when the container 14 is housed in the lid 11. A power cord 19 is inserted from a part thereof, and an outlet 20 connected to the power cord 19 is provided on the top surface of the lid body 11.
This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that it is configured so that a plug 21 of an electric rice cooker, an electric juicer, etc. placed on the top surface of the lid 11 can be inserted.

Note that the upper plate portion of the lid body 11 is preferably formed of a heat insulating material.

Generally, an electric rice cooker is placed on the top plate of an electric refrigerator to cook rice, but according to the above embodiment, the electric rice cooker containing the rice taken out from the rice bin after being washed with water is immediately placed on the top of the rice bin. In addition to being able to cook rice by placing the rice cooker in a certain position, the lid 11 is interposed between the rice cooker and the rice pot body 1.
This is extremely convenient since there is no risk that the electric heat of the rice cooker will be transmitted to the rice pot body 1.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment, in which small items can be stored directly in the internal space of the lid 11 without inserting the accessory storage container 14 into and out of the lid 11 as in the previous embodiments. This opening 12 is provided with an accordion-type front door 22 that can be opened and closed.

FIG. 5 shows a fourth embodiment, which has a structure in which the top surface of the lid 11 can be freely opened and closed to allow small items to be taken out and put in the small item storage section 15.

That is, the rear end of the lid 23 is pivoted to the rear upper edge of the lid 11 with a hinge 24 so as to be able to rotate freely in an arc, and the lower surface of the front end of the lid 23 and the upper front surface of the lid 11 are respectively provided with Different magnet 2
5 and 26 are attached.

Therefore, the lid 23 can be opened by grasping the grip part 27 formed on the front part of the upper surface of the lid 23, and when closing the accessory storage section 15, it is only necessary to press a part of the lid 23 by hand. In that case, when the lid 23 approaches the edge of the lid 11, the magnetic attraction force of the magnets 25 and 26 causes the lid 23 to strongly seal the opening of the lid 11.

According to this invention having the above structure, the bottom part 13 of the lid 11 closes the lower part between the upper parts of the rice jar body 1, and the lid 11 is detachably provided on the upper part of the rice jar body 1. This lid 11 can also be used as a lid that can be opened and closed between the upper and lower portions of the rice container body 1.

At the same time, the lid body 11 is directly or indirectly provided with an accessory storage section 15 to accommodate small items such as seasonings such as sugar, rice flour, and barley, and grains. Not only can the upper space be effectively utilized, but also a more convenient rice bin can be provided to the user.

Further, in the storage state, the accessory storage section 15 has a lid body 11.
Since the lid 11 and the accessory storage section 15 are removed together from the rice bin main body 1,
This is extremely convenient when putting rice into the rice bin body 1 or cleaning the inside of the body 1.

In addition, as described in the second claim of the utility model registration, according to the structure in which the accessory storage container 14 is inserted into the lid body 11 in a freely extractable manner, the accessory storage section 15 can be divided into a plurality of pieces, and small items can be The storage container 14 can be pulled out from the front of the rice bin main body 1 to take out the contents, which is convenient and easy to take out.
