Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a takoyaki machine that is mainly suitable for home use.It increases the stability of the takoyaki machine during use, and also prevents direct hand contact with the takoyaki machine. The purpose is to prevent burns from occurring.

Generally, a takoyaki device has a flat plate-like body with a group of hemispherical recesses that protrude downward, so if it is placed directly on a stove, it will be unstable due to the uneven shape of the bottom. As a countermeasure to this, it is possible to place a cylindrical frame-shaped guard on the stove and place the lower surface of the periphery of the takoyaki machine on the upper end of this guard, but in that case, the periphery of the takoyaki machine body may be placed outside of the guard. Since the takoyaki maker is exposed in a protruding manner, there is a risk of burns if children touch the takoyaki machine directly, especially when they are having fun cooking at the table.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is a cylindrical frame-shaped guard that supports the takoyaki machine body on the stove, surrounding the periphery of the takoyaki machine body with a gap in between. do.

In FIG. 1, which is an exploded perspective view, a flat body 1 of the takoyaki machine has a plurality of downwardly protruding recesses 2.
and a pair of U-shaped handles 3 on the left and right.
The recess 2 is the part in which the Takoyaki ingredients are placed and cooked, and the handle 3 is fitted with a rattan for heat shielding. The main body 1 is generally made of cast iron,
It can also be molded from thick-walled aluminum alloy.

The guard 5 has a structure in which a band-shaped steel plate is formed into a rectangular tube shape and the tip is welded.The upper edge has a shallow notch 6 into which the handle 3 fits, and the side surface prevents incomplete combustion of gas. A large number of air holes 7 are provided for this purpose. The guard 5 is placed on four radial claws 9 of a stove 8 (pot holder part of a gas stove). In this case, even if the four corners of the guard 5 are placed on the corresponding claws 9, or even if the center portions of the four sides are located on the claws 9, the guard 5 is stably supported on the stove 8.

As shown in FIG. 2, the guard 5 can be provided with a narrow eave part 5a bent toward the takoyaki body 1 side at the upper end, and there is a slight gap between the inner peripheral edge of the eave part 5a and the outer peripheral edge of the main body 1. A gap 10 is formed, and the eaves part 5a is approximately on the same level as the main body 1 or protrudes slightly upward, so that the hand 11
When the hand 11 approaches the main body 1, it acts as a guard (protective fence) to prevent the hand 11 from directly touching the main body 1.

For example, place the takoyaki machine body 1 on the claw 9 of the stove 8 via the guard 5 on a table, ignite the stove, and heat the takoyaki machine body 1 from below with the flame 12 while inside each recess 2. Cook Takoyaki.

As explained above, in the present invention, the open end of the U-shaped handle 3 is fixed to both edges of the flat takoyaki body 1, and the handle 3 is fitted and supported in the notch 6 on the upper edge. A cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5 having a large number of air holes 7, and a stove 8 that supports the cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5.
Since the cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5 is provided with an upper edge part for preventing burns (upper edge part of the guard 5, eaves part 5a, etc.) that surrounds the periphery of the takoyaki machine body 1 from the outside with a gap, The following special effects can be obtained. That is, even though the bottom surface of the takoyaki machine body is uneven, the stability on the stove 8 is improved.

Also, there is no risk of getting burned at the peripheral edge of the main body 1 while cooking. Since the guard 5 is far from the flame 12 and is in contact with the high-temperature takoyaki machine body 1 only at the handle 3, there is little temperature rise due to heat conduction, and even if the hand 11 touches the guard 5, it will not cause burns. There is no fear that it will. In particular, according to the present invention, since there is a notch 6, when the handle 3 is fitted into the notch 6, the takoyaki machine body 1
is moderately lowered downward from the upper edge of the cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5, and the outer peripheral edge of the takoyaki machine body 1 can be reliably surrounded from the outside with a gap 10 in between.
By fitting the handle 3 with the handle 3, it is possible to reliably prevent any lateral displacement of the takoyaki machine body 1 on the cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5 in the left-right, front-back, and front-back directions, further improving safety.

Since the cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5 has a large number of air holes 7, incomplete combustion is prevented, and the temperature of the guard 5 is lowered by the auxiliary air flowing into the cylindrical frame-shaped guard 5 from the air holes 7. Furthermore, according to the present invention, hot air is trapped inside the guard 5, which reduces the temperature drop at the peripheral portion of the takoyaki machine body 1, making it possible to heat evenly and making it easier to use. Furthermore, since the handle 3 is fixed to the takoyaki machine body 1, the takoyaki machine body 1, which is the dirtiest, can be quickly removed from the guard 5 and washed while it is still hot, making it sanitary.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the guard 15
For example, a pair of handles 16 are fastened to the side surfaces of the housing with screws 17. 18 is a screw retainer cast into the handle 16. The upper edge 15a of the guard 15 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the takoyaki machine body 16 without a handle, and a plurality of inward protrusions 19 are integrally formed on the inner peripheral edge of the upper edge 15a. A main body 16 is supported on top. An annular gap 20 is formed between the guard upper edge 15a and the main body 16, so that only a portion of the heat from the main body 16 reaches the upper edge 15a of the guard 15 through the plurality of protrusions 19. A large number of air holes can be provided on the side surface of the guard 15 as in the case of FIG.
