Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a pickle container.

[Prior art and its issues]

Pickles have been one of Japan's main side dishes since ancient times. However, in recent years it has become rare for housewives to make homemade pickles. The cause is
Although there are many ready-made pickles on the market, there is a problem with the complexity of making pickles, especially when heavy pickle stones are poured into the turbid and smelly agarimizu. There is a strong tendency to dislike taking things in and out. This work is absolutely necessary when lifting the pickles from the container, but handling the heavy pickle stones half-heartedly is difficult, especially for women, so the pickle container allows this work to be done easily and cleanly. was desired. In addition, recently, pickling stones made of resin filled with iron sand, etc., are available on the market, which are clean and easy to handle, but they are not cheap, so it tends to be too expensive to pickle several barrels.

[Purpose of this invention]

The purposes of this invention are (a) to make the handling of pickle stones easy and clean by preventing them from being soaked in water; (b) to eliminate the need for special pickle stones and to (c) To make it difficult for odors from upstream water to leak outside, etc.

[Configuration of the present invention]

The means of the present invention to solve the above problems are as follows. That is, the present invention includes a container body and a press lid that presses the contents in the container body from above, and the press lid is formed with a peripheral wall that fits on the outside of the peripheral wall of the container body. Moreover, the pickle container is provided with a housing part for storing a heavy object serving as a weight at the upper part of the push lid, and a removable pressing tool is provided at the lower part of the housing part. The container has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and can be configured in various shapes such as a square tube or a cylinder. It is generally desirable for a container to taper toward the bottom in order to reduce the load on the bottom. Further, the material thereof is usually plastic that is resistant to salt and alkali, but it is also possible to use a metal plate treated to prevent salt and alkali. In order to prevent odor from escaping, it is preferable that the outer side of the peripheral wall of the container body and the outer peripheral wall of the push lid be tightly fitted to the extent that both peripheral walls can slide. Further, it is preferable that the pressing tool removably provided at the lower part of the accommodating portion is provided with legs so that a sufficient weight can be applied even when the contents are reduced, but this is not limited to this. Note that the outer bottom part of the container may be shaped so that it can directly press the contents in the container main body without providing a pressing tool. Further, the push lid may be provided with a handle if necessary.

【Example】

The present invention will be explained in more detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of one embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the device in use. The pickle container A includes a container body 1 and a pressable lid 2. The container body 1 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and a fitting flange 11 is provided at the upper edge of the peripheral wall 10. The push lid 2 has a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 21 and an inner peripheral wall 22.
They have a continuous double cylinder structure at the upper end, and a bottom plate 23 that is continuous with the inner peripheral wall 22 is formed at the bottom of the inner peripheral wall 22.
A housing portion 24 is formed by the bottom plate 23 and the bottom plate 23 . Further, a stepped portion 220 is formed on the inner circumferential wall 22 at the upper part of the accommodating portion 24, so that a lid 29 can be placed thereon. The outer peripheral wall 21 includes a pressing plate 28 of a pressing tool 20, which will be described later.
It hangs slightly downward, and the lower part is opened so that it can be fitted to the outside of the container body 1, and an annular fitting part 26 is formed between it and the inner peripheral wall 22 to receive the upper edge of the container body 1. has been done. A pressing tool 20 is attached to the center portion of the back surface of the bottom plate 23. The pressing tool 20 has a required number of through holes 25.
It has a structure in which a connecting rod 27 is fixed to the pressing plate 28. A threaded portion 270 is provided on the upper part of the connecting rod 27, and the press plate 28 is attached to the bottom plate 23 by screwing this threaded portion 270, and can be attached to and removed from the bottom plate 23 at will. (Operation) The operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. First, the material T to be made into pickles is charged into the container body 1 almost to the top of the inside of the container body 1. Put the pickle stones S (pebbles packed in a bag in FIG. 2) into the storage part 24, fit the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall 21 with the upper edge of the container body 1, and push the lid 2 onto the container body 1. Cover and stabilize, press plate 2
8. Press the material T. If there is a large amount of material T to be charged and it protrudes upward from the container body 1, first place only the container 24 from which the pressing tool 20 has been removed on the material T. and material T
When the water comes out and the container 24 is lowered to some extent, the pusher lid 2 is taken up, the pressing tool 20 is attached, and the pusher lid 2 is placed over the container body 1 again so that the material T is pressed by the pressing plate 28. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing another embodiment, in which the container body 1' of the pickle container A' is tapered at the bottom to reduce the load on the bottom. Furthermore, hangers 221 are provided at two places on the upper surface of the push-top lid 2, so that the push-top cover 2 can be hung up by hanging a hanging string, especially when it is heavy. Note that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims of the utility model registration.

[Effect of the idea]

The present invention has the above configuration and has the following effects. (a) Since the push lid is provided with a storage part for storing heavy objects that serve as weights, the weights such as pickle stones do not get soaked in the pickle water, and there is no need to wash the weights. (b) Since the pickle stone is not directly pickled, there is no need to purchase a special pickle stone, and pebbles can be used instead, making it easy to handle. (c) Since the weights are not immersed in the rising water, they are hardly affected by buoyancy, so they can be pushed around enough to make delicious pickles. (d) Since the container body is covered with a lid, odors from rising water are difficult to leak outside, and pickles can be pickled indoors.
