Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a saucer for a liquid container. More specifically, when storing oil cans containing oil used for frying, bottles containing soy sauce or sauces, etc. under the sink or in a cupboard, oil leaking from the oil cans etc. may damage the cupboard. This invention relates to a saucer for liquid containers on which oil cans and the like are placed to prevent them from being soiled.

[Conventional technology]

As a saucer for liquid containers on which oil cans, etc. are placed, to prevent cupboards, etc. from becoming dirty with leaking oil, etc.
Conventionally, a plate-shaped plate made of aluminum foil and having a large number of concavo-convex portions and ribs on its upper surface has been provided. In this conventional product, oil leaking from an oil can or the like accumulates on the entire upper surface of the saucer or at unspecified locations on the upper surface. As a result, the saucer was significantly soiled, and moreover, when taking out the oil can, oil, etc., which had accumulated especially around the periphery of the saucer, sometimes spilled out of the saucer. Furthermore, when paper is placed on the top surface of the saucer, there is a problem in that the paper sticks to the bottom surface of the oil can or the like.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology by providing a recess for a liquid reservoir on the top surface of the saucer, so that oil leaking from an oil can, etc. can be collected in the liquid reservoir. This prevents the liquid from accumulating in the concave portion and from accumulating on the entire upper surface of the saucer. Furthermore, by forming a large number of ribs radially outward from the liquid reservoir recess, and by forming the space between each rib on the upper surface of the saucer into a downwardly inclined surface toward the liquid reservoir recess, To provide a liquid container saucer in which oil leaked from an oil can or the like is reliably collected in the liquid reservoir recess.

[Means for solving problems]

The liquid container saucer according to the present invention is provided with a liquid reservoir recess at a suitable location on the upper surface of the saucer. Further, on the upper surface of the saucer, a large number of ribs are formed radially outward from the liquid reservoir recess, and the space between each rib is formed into a downwardly inclined surface toward the liquid reservoir recess. It is a feature.

[Effect of invention]

In the liquid container saucer of the present invention, for example, an oil can containing used oil for frying is placed on the top of the saucer and stored in a cupboard. The oil in this oil can may naturally flow along the opening edge of the oil can and leak out of the can. The oil leaking out of the can falls onto the upper surface of the saucer and flows between the ribs in the direction of the liquid reservoir recess. Each rib is formed radially outward from the liquid reservoir recess, and the space between the ribs on the upper surface is formed into a downwardly sloped surface toward the liquid reservoir recess, so that the oil can flow into the liquid reservoir. It flows towards the recess and collects there. The oil accumulated in the liquid reservoir recess is drained away from the peripheral edge by tilting the saucer. Further, the liquid is adsorbed onto an adsorbent prepared in advance in the liquid reservoir recess, or solidified with a solid agent, and then discarded.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cut away perspective view, FIG. 2 is a sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a partially cut away perspective view showing another embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the liquid container saucer according to the present invention is made of metal foil, and the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1 is made of metal foil.
A liquid reservoir recess 3 is provided at a suitable location. Examples of the metal foil include aluminum foil, which is pressed and has a circular liquid reservoir recess 3 in the center, making it circular as a whole. Further, on the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1, a large number of ribs 4 are formed radially outward from the liquid reservoir recess 3. The ribs 4 are formed at the same time as the tray 1 is formed by pressing aluminum foil, and although a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section is shown as an example, the ribs 4 are not limited to this. Although not shown, the ribs may have a rectangular cross-section or may have other cross-sectional shapes, and the number of ribs is not limited to those illustrated. Furthermore, the space between each rib 4 on the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1 is formed into a downwardly inclined surface toward the liquid reservoir recess 3.

Note that although the saucer 1 is shown as having a circular shape made of aluminum foil and having a circular liquid reservoir recess 3 in the center thereof, the present invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in FIG. 3, the saucer 1 may be made of synthetic resin and formed into a rectangular shape, with a rectangular liquid reservoir recess 3 provided approximately in the center thereof, or, although not shown, the saucer Alternatively, the liquid reservoir recess may be formed in other shapes. Further, the liquid reservoir recesses do not necessarily need to be provided in the center of the upper surface of the saucer, and the number thereof is not particularly limited. For example, one liquid reservoir recess may be provided closer to one side, or two liquid reservoir recesses may be provided in parallel.

In each figure, the reference numeral 5 indicates a liquid absorbent provided in the liquid reservoir recess 3 in advance. Examples of the liquid absorbent 5 include nonwoven fabric, cellulose, cotton, and cardboard. Further, although not shown, it is also possible to previously prepare an oil solid agent such as an oil gelling agent or vermiyquilite in the liquid reservoir recess 3. If the liquid absorbent 5 or solid agent is provided in the liquid reservoir recess 3 in this way, the oil flowing there will soak into the liquid absorbent 5 or solidify, making it more convenient to dispose of it. .

In the liquid container saucer described above, oil used for frying is stored in an oil can, and the oil can is placed on the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1 and stored in a cupboard. Since the oil leaking from this oil can falls onto the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1, it is possible to prevent the cupboard from being soiled by the oil. The oil that has fallen onto the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1 flows toward the liquid reservoir recess 3 through the upper surface 2 of the saucer 1, which is formed on a downwardly inclined surface, toward the liquid reservoir recess 3, and accumulates there. .

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the liquid leaked from the liquid container to the outside falls onto the upper surface of the saucer, and the liquid is collected in the liquid reservoir recess. In addition, the liquid flows easily between the ribs on the top surface of the saucer towards the liquid reservoir recess, so the liquid will surely collect in the liquid reservoir recess, which will not only keep the saucer clean, but also keep the liquid container clean. It is useful as a saucer for liquid containers, as the liquid will not spill from the top surface of the saucer when taken out.
