Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of the ash spoon used when making ash molds in front of the charcoal in tea ceremonies such as tea ceremonies, especially the ash spoon commonly known as the leaf-shaped ash spoon. .

This type of ash spoon, especially the ash spoon used to make ash molds for wind furnaces, is used to make Nimonji Oshikiri ash, Mukaiyama ash, or Toyama ash, which are the basics of ash molds. ) is convex and has a leaf-shaped surface with an arcuate surface. However, most of the curved surfaces of these spoons have a relatively large radius of curvature, making them unsuitable for making, for example, the bottom of a two-character push-cut type. In other words, in order to successfully join the front and rear one-character peaks of a two-monji oshikiri ash mold on a curved slope and at the bottom position, a certain radius of curvature must be attached, but that radius of curvature is smaller than the radius of the spoon, Therefore, even if you just apply the bottom of the ash spoon and slide it, the bottom cannot be joined, and the side end of the ash spoon will come into contact with the bottom part, forming a step, making it impossible to make a good ash mold. The reality is that it is difficult. In addition, since the handle of the ash spoon is long, the rear end of the handle (the end on the side where you hold it) may come into contact with the peaks and damage the ash mold that is being completed. For this purpose, it would be sufficient to use a short-handled ash spoon, but it is often inconvenient to use because it is not suitable for use in wind stoves or is too flimsy.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a tea ceremony ash spoon that overcomes these conventional drawbacks.

In other words, the features of the ash spoon provided by this invention are that the bottom of the main body of the spoon (the part that scoops up and receives ash) is formed into a convex spherical surface, and the handle part is separably joined at the middle part. The point is that it was configured as follows. Therefore, for example, when making a two-monji oshikiri ashikata, when joining the bottoms between the two peaks, turn the ashiosu sideways, and if the handle is long, divide it from the middle and make the ashmata with a short handle. be able to.

This invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 to 3 are diagrams showing the appearance of the ash spoon according to this invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view seen from the side and above, and in the figure, 1 is the main body of the spoon, and as is clear from Figure 4, which shows the AA' side of this part, the bottom (back) is It is formed into a convex spherical surface. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the handle portion 2 also has a circular arc shape with a constant radius of curvature in the longitudinal direction, forming a so-called spherical surface. Of course, the radius of curvature of the curved surface shown in FIG. 4 is set to be smaller than the radius of curvature in the longitudinal direction, instead of the spherical surface of a perfect circle, forming an oval spherical surface.

Further, in the illustrated example, the main body portion 1 and the handle portion 2 are integrally molded from the same metal material, such as copper, and 3 is a connecting portion between the two. FIG. 3 is a perspective view seen from the rear and from below, and as is clear from this figure, the connecting portion 3 is bent toward the bottom (back) side so that the top surface has an aesthetic appearance. At the same time, the handle portion 2 is made by bending a plate-shaped metal material of a certain width into a tubular shape to form a handle that is easy to hold. The end faces on both sides of this plate are butted against each other to form a straight line 2L, which is designed to maintain the quality of the product. The main body part 1 is formed, for example, by forging or by rolling out sheet metal processing. The surface is polished to give it a nice texture.

Further, in this invention, as shown in the drawings, the handle portion 2 is joined so that it can be separated (divided) at the middle. As is clear from FIG. 3, a core shaft 4 for joining is inserted into the joint side end surface of the rear handle portion 2 ₂ , and this core shaft 4 connects to the front handle portion 2 ₁ . When inserted into the tube, they are joined together to form a handle of normal length as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, the handle part 2 ₁ ,
If you pull 2 and ₂ together, they will separate in the middle and the handle will become shorter. For example, when making a two-character oshikiri ash mold for Doan Furō 5, as shown in Figure 5, turn the spoon sideways and shorten it. Holding paddle handle part 2 ₁ in your hand, body part 1
It is convenient for making a mold by bringing it into contact with the ash mold 6.
In this case, the body part 1 has a spherical bottom surface, which is useful for shaping the ash regardless of the orientation of the spoon.

Although this invention has been explained above, it is not limited to the above-mentioned and illustrated embodiments, but includes various modified embodiments. For example, although the illustrated example shows one in which the main body portion and the handle portion are integrally molded, this idea can also be applied to conventional products in which separate members are combined. Further, the spherical surface of the bottom surface of the main body portion may be a part of a perfectly round sphere, or may be a part of a sphere having a special shape other than an oval sphere. It can be made into various spherical surfaces depending on the purpose and type of use. Further, there is also a screw connection method as a connection method for separating the handle portion, and the method is not limited to the illustrated example. This idea encompasses all of these.

The tea ceremony ash spoon provided by this invention is as detailed above, so it can be used to make various ash molds, and in particular, it can be used to connect curved surfaces at the bottom, such as the two-monji oshikiri ash mold in a wind stove. You can use a spoon to make this smooth and beautiful. Furthermore, the handle can be separated and made shorter if necessary, eliminating the fear of damaging the completed ash mold with a long handle.
