Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a basket, and specifically, to a basket that is stored in a pot when making fried foods, and from which the finished fried foods are taken out.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, baskets have been put into practical use in which a handle is removably attached to the inner side wall of a basket body made by pressing a thin metal plate. Even if it is attempted to store the basket in the pot after use, it is impossible because the handle gets in the way, and the basket body and handle must be disassembled and stored, resulting in a problem that handling is complicated. In order to solve this problem, a basket in which a handle is rotatably attached to the lower part of the inner wall of the basket body has been proposed and put into practical use.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in a basket whose handle can be rotated for storage, it is necessary to increase the mechanical strength of the handle attachment part, so the basket body is made of a thick metal plate. This inevitably makes the basket heavier and costs more, and when storing the basket, if you narrow the legs of the handle and try to rotate it, the tip of the handle will come off the support. There was a problem with poor operability.

In addition, with all conventional baskets, a hook member must be attached to the edge of the pot in order to hold the basket above the pot to drain the oil after removing the fried food from the pot. ,Moreover,
In order to store the pot after use, it is necessary to remove the hook member from the edge of the pot, resulting in problems such as loss of the hook member and difficulty in storing it.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a means for attaching the handle to the basket body so that the handle can be stored in a manner that allows the handle to rotate through a through hole formed in the basket body. A handle mounting bracket is used, which has a handle support part that supports the handle, and a claw part that passes through a through hole formed in the basket body and locks the handle, and has an elastic bending part approximately in the center. By fitting the bent portion into the fitting hole formed in the basket body, the recesses formed in the claw portion and the handle support portion are respectively engaged with the respective through holes, and the handle attachment fitting is fixed to the basket body. and the handle is fitted into a handle support part of a handle attachment fitting and is locked to a claw part,
This allows the basket body, the handle, and the handle attachment fitting to be integrated.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, the basket consists of a basket body 1, a handle 2, and a handle attachment 3. Basically, the side wall of the basket body 1 is held between the handle 2 and the handle attachment 3. It is unified by this.

The handle attachment fitting 3 has a pair of protruding claw parts 4 and a pair of handle support parts 5 extending in the same direction, and has an elastic bending part 7 formed approximately in the center. Further, the handle attachment fitting 3 has a hook-shaped pot hanging part 8 projecting from its upper end that extends in the opposite direction to the claw part 4, so that it can be hung on the edge of a pot (not shown). It's like this. The mounting fitting 3 is made of a relatively thick and elastic metal material, such as stainless steel.

The claw parts 4 have an L-shape, and are formed on the upper part of the handle attachment fitting 3 so that their free ends face each other, and there is a slight locking recess on the lower end side of each claw part 4. 4a is formed. The handle support part 5 is
It extends in the same direction as the claw portion 4 and is formed on both sides of the lower end side of the handle attachment fitting 3. Further, the handle support portion 5 is formed with a bearing hole 6 into which the distal end portion 17 of the handle 2 is rotatably inserted, and a slight locking recess 5a is formed on the upper end side.
Note that the locking recesses 4a and 5a may be formed at the upper end of the claw portion 4 and the lower end of the handle support portion 5, respectively.

The elastic bending part 7 projects in a substantially semicircular shape in the same direction as the claw part 4, and has a locking recess 4a provided on the lower end side of the claw part 4 and a locking recess 4a provided on the upper end side of the handle support part 5. Elasticity is provided in the direction of bringing the stop recess 5a closer to each other. Further, in this embodiment, in order to make the elastic bending portion 7 function as a stopper for preventing the leg portion 16 of the handle 2 from coming off from the bearing hole 6, the length of the tip portion 17 of the leg portion 16 and the length of the leg portion 16 are adjusted.
It is set so that it will not come off from the bearing hole 6 when it is narrowed until it comes into contact with the end of the elastic bending part 7.

The basket body 1 has a box-like form, and has a large number of slits or through holes 10 formed at least in its bottom wall 1a for draining oil, while a handle attachment fitting 3 is formed in its rear side wall 1b. Claw portion 4,
A plurality of through holes 11 and 13 and a fitting hole 12 are formed corresponding to the positions of the handle support portion 5 and the elastic bending portion 7. Although the basket body 1 can be made of any metal material, it is preferably made of thin aluminum for weight reduction.

The handle 2 consists of a grip part 15 and a pair of legs 16 with a tip 17 bent laterally.
is made of an elastic material, and is bent in the direction in which the distal end portion 17 widens.

When assembling the members, insert the claw part 4, elastic bending part 7, and handle support part 5 of the attachment fitting 3 into the corresponding through holes 11, 13 and fitting hole 12 from the back side of the basket main body 1, and then When the portion 7 is forcibly fitted into the fitting hole 12, the recess 4a of the claw portion 4 and the recess 5a of the handle support portion 5 are pushed into the basket body 1 by the elasticity of the elastic bending portion 7.
is locked to the edges forming the through holes 11 and 13,
As a result, the handle attachment fitting 3 is fixed to the basket body 1. Next, the tips 17 of the legs 16 are inserted into the bearing holes 6 of the handle support portions 5 protruding inwardly from the basket body 1 from a direction diagonal to the side wall 1b, avoiding the elastic bending portions 7, and then the handles 2 are inserted. It can be easily assembled by simply rotating the leg part 16 toward the claw part 4, narrowing the leg part 16, and hanging it on the claw part 4.

When using the basket configured as described above, when draining oil, lift the basket from inside the pot and
All that is required is to hook the hook-shaped pot hook part 8 of the mounting fitting 3 onto the edge of the pot. In addition, in this embodiment, in order to store the handle 2, it is necessary to sandwich the leg part 16,
The leg portion 16 may be removed from the claw portion 4, and the handle 2 may be rotated about the handle support portion 5 to the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 1.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the handle is attached to the basket body using the handle attachment fitting, so only the handle attachment fitting is made of a material with strong mechanical strength. The main body of the basket can be made of a thin metal material, and therefore, even if the handle is made retractable, the weight of the basket can be reduced, and at the same time, costs can be reduced. .

In addition, the elasticity of the elastic bent part of the handle fitting allows the handle fitting to be locked to the basket body, so it can be firmly fixed and the handle will not wobble during use. Since it functions as a stopper, even if the legs are narrowed to remove the handle from the claw when storing, the tips of the legs will not come off from the bearing holes.
The handle can be rotated smoothly and can be easily stored.

Furthermore, when taking out the fried food in the pot, all you have to do is hang the pot hook on the edge of the pot, so a special member is required to hold the basket above the pot to drain the oil. Excellent effects can be obtained, such as eliminating problems such as loss or storage of parts.
