Description

Sanitary Spoon Stand

(Technology)

The present invention relates to a reservoir for storing a spoon, and more particularly, to prevent the stored spoon from coming into contact with the contaminated water of the spoon and to quickly evaporate the water in the bucket, thereby keeping the spoon in a sanitary state. It's about a canister.

(Background)

Tools such as spoons, chopsticks, teaspoons, and forks (hereinafter referred to as `` spoons '') that are used to eat food are directly in contact with the mouth and food, so they need to be kept clean.

In general, cutlery custody in places where food is handled, such as homes or restaurants, is stored in a cutlery, one of the typical kitchen utensils.

There are many types of spoons on the market, but if they are classified into two types, there are two types of spoons, the upright type configured to hold the cutlery and the horizontal cutlery configured to lay the cutlery on its side.

For hygiene considerations, it is most desirable to ensure that hygiene aspects are kept in the cisterns, so that they are completely wiped away from the cleaning process and stored in the cisterns, which are completely free of water, so that they do not create a humid environment in which bacteria can grow. something to do.

However, it is not a bother to say that a cutlery that needs to be used daily and washed with water after each use should be wiped with a dry cloth every time it is used and kept dry in a cutlery.

Therefore, in storing the spoon in real life, it is common to put the spoon in the spoon as it is wet, which causes water away from the spoon to create a humid environment in the bucket, and bacteria grow in such a humid environment. When the scale is stuck, the bacteria-containing water is again buried in the spoon and ingested with food, which is a problem for many hygiene.

As a countermeasure to solve the hygiene problem in the storage of the cutlery, there are cases where a spoon or a cutlery is stored in a dish dryer with a sterilization function, but until now, the hygiene problem has not been satisfactorily solved by improving the cutlery itself. It is true.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems related to the conventional cistern related to the hygienic storage of the cistern as described above, and basically, the cistern is contaminated by preventing the spoon from directly contacting the contaminated water remaining in the cistern. Minimizes the hygiene problem of the water tank by preventing water from being contaminated, and secondarily, even if water is left in the water tank, the water is rapidly evaporated by aeration to prevent the water tank from becoming contaminated. I would like to.

Preferably, the ventilation hole is formed on the upper side and the lower side with respect to the support protrusion.

Preferably, the inner cylinder has at least a lower end thereof spaced apart from the inner surface of the outer cylinder with a gap, and a downward protrusion is formed at an inner end of the support protrusion.

Preferably, the water support plate may be a stainless steel plate or plastic synthetic resin plate resistant to corrosion and hygienic.

Preferably the sanitary spoon of the present invention may further comprise a lid.

Hereinafter, the sanitary spoon according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments merely illustrate the sanitary spoon according to the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

1 is a perspective view of an exemplary sanitary spoon according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an exemplary sanitary spoon according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an exemplary sanitary spoon according to the present invention.

As shown, the sanitary cutlery 1 of the present invention is basically made of a configuration including an outer cylinder 10, a spoon support plate 20 and an inner cylinder 30, preferably further comprises a lid 40 Can be.

The outer cylinder 10 has a closed lower end and an open upper end, for example, has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. For example, the outer cylinder 10 may be manufactured by plastic synthetic resin.

The inner bottom surface of the outer cylinder 10 forms a water trap 11 in which water flowing down from the spoon 2 or the remaining water after washing the spoon 1 of the present invention may be temporarily accumulated.

The outer cylinder 10 has a through-hole 12 through which air is communicated between the inside and the outside of the water reservoir 1, while the support base plate is formed along the inner circumference of the position adjacent to the air hole 12 ( 20 is naturally raised projecting projection 13 is formed.

The formation position of the vent hole 12 is not particularly limited as long as it facilitates air communication between the inside and the outside, but is formed along the lower circumference of the outer cylinder 10, preferably water accumulated in the water tank 11 is vent hole It is formed at a height such that it does not overflow to the outside through the (12), and more preferably is formed on the upper side and the lower side around the base projection (13). The size and number of vents 12 may be large enough to form a large enough if the stored cutlery 2 does not escape to the outside and do not harm the appearance.

As such, as the vent hole 12 is positioned above and below the support protrusion 13, the natural aeration is made in the upper and lower portions of the water support plate 20 which is placed on the support protrusion 13. The water buried in the evaporation is quickly evaporated, and the water support plate 20, which is in contact with the water every time the new storage of the washed cutlery 2, is quickly dried.

The cut support plate 20 is mounted in such a manner that the cut support plate 20 is inserted into the outer cylinder 10 to be mounted on the support protrusion 13, and supports the lower end of the stored cutlery 2 to substantially support the bottom of the cutlery 2. Support the load. Thus, the base plate 20 is smaller than the inner contour of the outer cylinder 10 and has a size larger than the circumferential contour of the base 13.

The cutoff plate 20 has a drainage hole 21 formed therethrough so that the water flowing down from the cutlery 2 does not stay and is discharged as it is, and the drainage hole 21 has a cutlery without a lower end of the cutlery 2 being inserted. As long as it can support the load of (2), it is desirable to form as much as possible.

The material of the spoon support plate 20 is not particularly limited as long as there is no problem in hygiene, does not absorb moisture, and dries well. For example, a plastic synthetic resin plate or a stainless steel plate may be used, In terms of aspect, stainless steel plates are most preferred, particularly in terms of being capable of high temperature sterilization in boiling water.

The inner cylinder 30 is an upper cylinder which is naturally fitted into the outer cylinder 10, and can be molded and manufactured, for example, with plastic synthetic resin. The inner cylinder 30 is inserted into the outer cylinder 10 so that the locking jaw 32 formed at the upper end of the inner cylinder 30 is mounted to the upper end of the outer cylinder 10. The inner cylinder 30 has a height such that the lower end 31 of the inner cylinder 30 does not reach the vent hole 12 while being inserted into the outer cylinder 10.

Preferably, the inner cylinder 30 forms partitions 33 so as to separate and separate the cutleries 2 having different types, for example, to separate the spoons and the chopsticks, and divides the internal space into several compartments. It is preferable to divide.

In addition, the outer casing 10 and the inner casing 30 are relatively short, such as an adult spoon 2A and a chopstick 2B, a children's spoon, chopsticks, and a tea spoon 2C, respectively. In order to store the cutlery 2 separately, it is preferable to form stepped in two stages as shown.

Most of the water buried in the introduced cutlery 2 will flow down directly onto the spoon support plate 20, but some may flow down along the inner wall of the inner barrel 30. In this case, the water flowing along the inner wall flows out through the air vent 12 below and flows down along the outer wall of the cutlery 1 so that the water may be placed on the table or the like.

In order to prevent such flow of water, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner cylinder 30 inserted by forming the thickening portion 34 in contact with the inner surface of the outer cylinder 10 at the upper end of the inner cylinder 30 is the outer cylinder 10. ), While the remaining portions of the inner cylinder 30 except for the thickening portion 34 have a relatively small size such that a gap 35 may be formed between the inner surface of the outer cylinder 10. It can be formed to have.

In this way, at least the lower end 31 of the inner cylinder 30 is spaced apart from the inner surface of the outer cylinder 10 with the gap 35, so that water flowing along the inner wall of the inner cylinder 30 flows into the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10. By falling directly down instead of moving to, it is possible to prevent the flow of water flows out through the vent hole (12).

In particular, if there is not enough gap 35 between the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 30, the water penetrates into the narrow boundary of the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 30, and thus does not evaporate well, and eventually bacteria can grow. Since it is to create a hotbed, it is preferable to configure between the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 30 to have a sufficient gap (35) throughout the entire except the upper end.

Similarly, the water dropped on the water support plate 20 may flow horizontally through the water support plate 20 and flow down again through the support protrusion 13 to flow to the outside through the air vent 12 under the water. Thus, as shown in Figure 3, by forming a downward projection (13A) at the inner end of the support projection 13, the flow of water is prevented from flowing out to the outside through the ventilation hole 12 only falling down. You can do that.

Preferably, the sanitary cutlery 1 of the present invention may further include a lid 40 formed by, for example, plastic synthetic resin to prevent foreign substances such as dust from being deposited on the cutlery 2. The applicable lid 40 is not particularly limited as long as it can be easily opened and closed, but as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hinge pin 14 is formed on the outer cylinder 10, and the linear The pinhole 41 is formed in the lid 40 made of a shape, and the lid 40 can be mounted so that the lid 40 can be rotated with respect to the outer cylinder 10. Since the linear lid 40 is opened and closed, there is an advantage that the ventilation is made smoothly even if the lid 40 is covered. Restriction protrusions 15 formed before and after the hinge pin 14 is intended to limit the rotation of the opening and closing of the linear lid 40.

The outer cylinder 10, the inner cylinder 30 and the lid 40 can be felt more hygienically, and can be made transparent to check the dirty state of the inside visually, in particular the lid 40 of the cutlery (2) It is desirable to produce a transparent so that the storage state.

The sanitary spoon 1 of the present invention as described above is assembled in such a manner that the inner cylinder 30 is inserted into the outer cylinder 10 after the water support plate 20 is put into the outer cylinder 10. In the use, when the wet spoon 2 is introduced into the spoon container 1 of the present invention, the water of the spoon 2 falls on the spoon support plate 20 and flows down through the drain hole 21. . Water that flows down is temporarily gathered in the water tank 11 of the bottom of the outer cylinder (10).

However, because the cutlery 1 of the present invention is supported by the spoon support plate 20 without being immersed in the water tank 11, even if water is accumulated in the water tank 11, The possibility of contamination of the cutlery 2 with water is greatly reduced.

Furthermore, the water accumulated in the water tank 11, as well as the water buried in the cutlery 2, the outer cylinder 10, the spoon support plate 20 and the inner cylinder 30 are circulated in the air through the vent hole 12 By rapidly evaporating and removing, the environment in which bacteria can grow does not last long, and thus the contamination of the cutlery in the spoon 1 is further reduced.

In addition, the spoon 1 of the present invention can separate the outer cylinder 10, the spoon support plate 20 and the inner cylinder 30 is very easy to clean, in particular partition the inner cylinder 30 into the partition 33. In one case, since the inner cylinder 30 has a top and bottom through shape, every corner of the inner cylinder 30 can be cleaned more easily than the existing cutlery that is partitioned while the bottom is blocked.

The effect of the sanitary spoon 1 according to the present invention described above is as follows.

First, the stored cutlery 2 is placed on the cut support plate 20 spaced apart from the water tank 11 so that it is not directly in contact with the water of the water tank 11 so that direct contamination of the water spoon due to the deceased water is remarkable. Can be reduced.

Second, water stuck to the water tank 11 or buried in the cutlery 2, the outer cylinder 10, the spoon support plate 20, and the inner cylinder 30 is rapidly evaporated and removed by circulation of air through the air vent 12. As a result, a humid environment in which bacteria can be propagated does not last long, thereby further reducing the contamination of the cutlery by water.

Third, the outer cylinder 10, the spoon support plate 20 and the inner cylinder 30 can be separated and cleaned to easily clean every corner of the inside, in particular, the spoon support plate 20 directly contact the cutlery 2 is separately Since it is configured to be separated, it is possible to maintain a satisfactory hygiene state even by simply cleaning by separating only the spoon support plate 20 when it is troublesome.
