Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an ash scooper used to scoop out coal ash at the bottom of the ash when it is in front of the charcoal during tea ceremonies such as tea ceremonies.

For example, when preparing the charcoal in a wind furnace, there is ash left at the bottom of the ash from the previous stage of charcoal being burnt out, which needs to be removed. A dedicated ash scooping section was used. The ash scoop consists of a bowl-shaped scoop with a relatively large diameter and a handle attached perpendicularly to the scoop, and is designed to be useful for scooping up coal ash from the bottom upwards. However, coal ash does not necessarily remain only at the bottom, but may also remain between the trivets. In such cases, this special ash scooper cannot be inserted between the trivets, and therefore it is difficult to insert the ash between the trivets. The current situation is that the ash is removed using methods such as ash spoons, etc., and the work is complicated. There is also the problem that it is undesirable to use a ash spoon in such cases.

This invention solves these problems in tea ceremonies and provides an ash scooper that simplifies the work of scooping out ash.

In other words, the tea ceremony ash scoop provided by this invention has bowl-shaped ash scoops with different diameters at both ends of the handle, and the bowl-shaped ash scoops have opposite directions. It is distinctive in that it is Furthermore, of the two ash-scooping parts, the one on the small-diameter bowl side is sized so that it can be inserted freely between the trivets of the wind stove, where the large-diameter bowl side cannot reach, and serves as a hibashi or ash spoon. It is designed to be easy to use. Furthermore, both ash scooping parts and the handle are integrally formed of the same material, making manufacturing easy, economical, and durable.

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

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the overall appearance of the ash scooper according to this invention, and numerals 1 and 2 are bowl-shaped ash scoops provided at both ends of the handle 3, respectively. This ash scooping part 1
and 2 have different diameters, with ash scooping section 1 set to a diameter close to the diameter of conventionally used ash scooping devices, and ash scooping section 2 having a small diameter and a large diameter between the trivets of the wind stove. The diameter is set so that it can be inserted freely even in hard-to-reach places. Moreover, the bowl-shaped orientations of both ash scooping parts 1 and 2 are opposite to each other.
That is, in FIG. 1, the large diameter ash scooping section 1 shows the scooping side, and the small diameter ash scooping section 2 shows the back side.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the scooping side of the small-diameter ash scooping section 2, contrary to FIG. 1.

This ash scooper is made of aluminum material, for example, and is manufactured by so-called sheet metal processing. Therefore, both the ash scooping parts 1, 2 and the handle 3 are made of the same material and are integral, resulting in a low manufacturing cost and a beautiful finished product. In particular, the handle 3 is formed into a cylindrical shape, as is clear from FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view of plane AA in FIG. 1, so that it can be easily held by hand.

Furthermore, as shown in the front view of Fig. 4, the ash scooping parts 1 and 2 are manufactured to be inclined at a certain angle with respect to the handle 3, and as shown in Fig. 5, the ash scooping parts 1 and 2 are designed to be easily manufactured. has been done. That is,
When scooping ash by grasping the handle 3, the palm of the hand is the side of the ash scooping part 2 that is not used for scooping ash.
This makes it easy to scoop out the ash G without causing any damage to the ash scooper. First, the ash can be collected on the small diameter side, and then scooped out on the large diameter side.

Although the tea ceremony ash scooper according to this invention is as described above, it is not limited to the above and illustrated examples, and includes various modifications. For example, although the diameters of the two ash scooping parts are different, the size is not limited to the illustrated example. Of course, it is desirable for balance to make the small diameter side circular if the large diameter side is circular, but if the shape of the ash scoop is not bowl-shaped (circular) but slightly rounded with a slightly pointed tip, You could also do that. Further, the material may be a metal material other than aluminum, or may be a material other than metal. It is also possible to use different materials for the handle and the ash scoop. The angle at which the ash scooping portion is attached to the handle is also not limited to the illustrated example. Even when molded from the same material, the handle part is not limited to a circular shape, but may be semicircular. Alternatively, it may have an oval shape. This idea encompasses all of these.

The ash scooper for tea ceremony provided by this invention is as described in detail above, so when removing the coal ash from the bottom of the furnace in front of the charcoal, the ash scooper can be gripped (grasped) with a good feel, and has a large diameter. The ash scooping section can remove most of the coal ash, and the small diameter ash scooping section can easily collect or remove coal ash in areas between the trivets that cannot be reached on the large diameter side, making removal work easy and quick. It will be held in

Furthermore, since only one tool (ash scooper) is used, the storage space is small and there is no risk of losing it, unlike when there are many tools.
To provide an excellent ash scooper which is economical because the manufacturing cost is low if a metal material is used when integrally manufactured from the same material, and which meets the quality of tea ceremony.
