Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a wire mesh strainer useful for kitchen use and other purposes.

[Prior Art] The most common conventional wire mesh colander is made by bending a plurality of metal bars 22 to match the outline of the colander, and bending the upper ends of the metal bars 22 into an annular shape that forms the opening edge of the colander. The upper edge material 24, including the wound portion 22a of the metal bar 22, is wound approximately half a circumference around the upper edge material 24 from the inside to the outside, and the upper edge of the wire mesh 23 along the inside of the metal bar 22 is wrapped around the upper edge material 24, including the wound portion 22a of the metal bar 22. The wire mesh colander 21 was formed by wrapping the outer surface of the wire so as to cover it, and then covering the outer surface with a band 25 of a predetermined width and tightening it. Note that 26 is a bottom frame, and the metal bar 22 is attached to the bottom frame so as to penetrate through this bottom frame 26.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Since such a conventional wire mesh colander simply wraps the bar 22 around the upper edge material 24 about half a circumference, even if the upper surface is wrapped with the strap 25, Even if it is covered and tightened, it will loosen with respect to the upper edge material 24 during use, and as a result, the shape of the wire mesh will change in the lateral direction, and the wire mesh will come loose, making it unusable. There is a problem with that.

In addition, the winding portion 22a of the metal bar 22 in the band 25
There is also a problem in that only the portion bulges out to the outside, making the shape of the wire mesh colander 21 unsightly.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The object of the present invention is to solve the physical problems of conventional wire mesh colanders and to provide a wire mesh colander that has excellent strength and is free from deformation.

That is, the first invention of the wire mesh strainer of the present invention is to curve the upper ends of a plurality of metal bars shaped into a predetermined contour shape of the strainer along the rim of the strainer so as to form the opening edge of the strainer. The opening edge, which forms a part or the entire periphery and includes the bent curved portion of the metal bar, is surrounded by a band with a six-shaped cross section, and the upper edge of the wire mesh that runs along the inside of the metal bar is surrounded by the band. It is characterized by a wire mesh being fixedly attached by sandwiching and tightening between the annular part of the gold 6-shaped cross section and the upper end part.

In addition, the second idea is to form part or the entire periphery of the opening rim of the sieve by bending the upper ends of a plurality of metal bars shaped into a predetermined outline shape of the sieve along the rim of the sieve. The opening edge including the bent curved portion of the metal bar is surrounded by a metal band having a 6-shaped cross section, and the upper edge of the wire mesh along the inside of the metal band is surrounded by an annular shape of the 6-shaped cross section of the metal band. and the upper end, and further fold back and bend the upper edge of the six-shaped cross section to form a flange on the outside of the edge of the colander opening. It is something to do.

[Function] The wire mesh colander of the first invention of the present invention has the upper end of the metal wire, which is the skeleton part of the colander, bent and curved along the rim of the colander to strengthen the rim of the colander. The curved part and the upper edge of the wire mesh applied to the inside of the metal bar are fixed with a band with a 6-shaped cross section.

With this structure, the bars of the colander are firmly connected without shifting from side to side at the rim of the mouth, making it possible to obtain a durable colander.Also, there is no bulging part due to the bars on the strap, making it possible to create a colander with good appearance. It can be done.

The wire mesh colander of the second invention of the present invention is made by making the band of the first invention wider and forming a flange at the opening of the colander, thereby increasing the strength against deformation in addition to the above-mentioned effect. The appearance of the raised colander can be further improved and the colander can be easily handled.

[Example] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a wire mesh colander according to the first invention, and this wire mesh colander 1 has a wire mesh 3 stretched inside a plurality of reinforcing bars 2.

As is particularly clear in Figure 1, the metal bars 2 are formed by bending wire to form the outline of a predetermined colander. It is bent in the same direction along the line, forming a curved part 2a which becomes a part of the opening edge of the curved colander.

Although not shown, the length of the bent curved portion 2a may be extended to a state close to the base point of the bent curved portion 2a of the adjacent bar 2 to form the entire circumference of the opening edge of the colander. A band 4 is attached in an annular manner to the opening edge of the colander, including the bent curved portion 2a.

The band 4 is wound around the opening edge including the bent curved portion 2a so as to have a 6-shaped cross section, and between the annular portion of the 6-shaped cross section and the upper edge 4a, a metal The wire mesh 3 is fixedly attached by sandwiching the upper edge of the wire mesh 3 along the inside of the wire mesh 2 and tightening the upper end.

The lower part of the bar is fixed by means known in the art, passing through the bottom frame and intersecting at the bottom.

The following Fig. 3 shows an example of the second invention, in which a bent curved portion 12a is formed in the metal bar 12, and this bent curved portion 12 is wound with a strap 14 in a six-shaped cross section. This is similar to the first invention in that the wire mesh 13 is sandwiched therebetween.

This second idea uses a band 14 wider than the band in the first idea, and after forming the upper end edge 14a of the 6-shaped cross section, it is folded back to form a folded part 14b, As a result, the flange 14 bends outward through the upwardly directed vertical portion 14c.
d.

This flange 14d improves the appearance of the wire mesh colander 11 and reinforces it, making it easier to handle the colander.

Kinekin 2, 1 in the first and second ideas above
2. It is desirable to use rust-free materials such as stainless steel for each member such as the wire meshes 3 and 13, the straps 4 and 14, and the bottom frame.

[Effects of the invention] The wire mesh strainer of the first invention has a structure in which the upper end of the metal wire is curved along the rim of the strainer, and by fixing a strap to this, the wire mesh colander can be made of metal. There is no deviation in the lateral direction, and the robustness of the colander can be improved.

Moreover, according to this structure, a bulging part is not formed in the band surrounding the metal part, and a good-looking colander can be obtained.

Furthermore, by integrally fixing such a metal bar with a wire mesh using a strap, and at that time fixing it with a six-shaped cross section, the fixation is ensured and does not loosen, and the cross section is By enclosing it in a 6-shape, this area can be used cleanly without any debris accumulating.

The second invention of the present invention further develops the shape of the band in the first invention to form a flange, and this flange increases the strength against deformation and improves the appearance of the colander. It can be used safely without being injured by the edge of the strap, and is easy to handle.
