Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a powder sifter, and by attaching a cover material to the upper and lower parts of the container so that it can be opened and closed, it is possible to sift powder multiple times or to sift powder once. It is designed to allow sieving.

[Conventional example]

As a powder sifter, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-22271, a sieve is placed at the bottom of the container,
It is known that the sieve is driven by a motor to reciprocate to sift the powder contained in the container.

Furthermore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-11989, there is known a device in which two cups are connected facing each other so that powder sieving can be carried out a plurality of times.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, when making cakes etc.,
It is desirable to sieve the powder twice or more times to ensure that the powder contains sufficient air. However, in order to sieve twice in this way, the electric type described above is not only troublesome, but also because the powder that has been sifted into a bowl must be poured from the bowl back into the container. Even when the powder is put back into the container, some of the powder passes through the sieve and falls onto the floor, so there was a problem in that a second bowl had to be prepared for sieving twice.

In addition, with the above-mentioned two cups connected facing each other, it is possible to sift the powder multiple times by reversing the cup, but in order to sift the powder for the first time, the cup must be removed from the connecting ring. , the flour cannot be sifted once unless the flour is introduced with the open end of the cup facing upward, the cup containing the powder is reattached to the connecting ring, and the cup is turned over, making the work cumbersome and inconvenient. It is. Moreover, for this reason, continuous one-time sieving work (work exclusively for one-time sieving), in which the powder is sieved off at the same time as the powder is introduced, cannot be performed.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a powder sifter that can perform multiple sievings or one-time sieving.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, a sieve 2 is disposed approximately in the longitudinal center of a container 1 having openings 5 and 10 at both ends, and a first powder reservoir S1 and a second powder reservoir are provided at the upper and lower parts of the sieve 2. A reservoir S2 is secured, and lid members 4 and 9 are attached to the upper opening 5 and lower opening 10 of the container 1 so as to be openable and closable.

[Effect]

In the above configuration, when performing powder sieving, the lid 4 is opened to expose the upper part of the container 1, the lid 9 is attached to the lower part of the container 1, and the powder is placed in the first powder reservoir S1. Insert. At this time, some of the powder passes through sieve 2 and falls downward, but
Since the lid member 9 is attached to the lower part of the powder, the powder does not fall onto the floor or the like, but instead accumulates in the second powder reservoir S2.

Next, when the powder is sieved through the sieve 2, the powder is sifted by the sieve 2 and falls, and is collected in the second powder reservoir S2 having the same capacity as the first powder reservoir S1. When the first powder sieve is completed in this way, the upper lid 4 is attached, the container 1 is turned upside down, and the sieve 2 is sieved again. Then, the powder in the second powder reservoir S2 is sifted by the sieve 2 and falls into the first powder reservoir S1. If such powder sifting has been carried out multiple times, the lids 4 and 9 may be opened and the powder inside the container 1 may be transferred to a bowl or the like.

As described above, with this powder sifter, it is possible to easily sieve the powder two or more times and to incorporate sufficient air into the powder.

In addition, this powder sifter has openings 5 and 1 of the container 1.
Since the lids 4 and 9 are separately attached to the cup 0 so that they can be opened and closed, one lid 4 can be opened and the powder can be poured into the first powder reservoir S1 without the need for the extra work of inverting the cup as described above. You can easily sift powder for the first time by just adding it. Furthermore, by opening both lids 4 and 9 and continuously introducing powder into the powder reservoir S1, continuous one-time sieving work (one-time sieving-only work) can be performed.

As described above, according to the present application, by changing the specifications of the lid members 4 and 9 attached to the openings 5 and 10 of the container 1, it is possible to perform multiple powder sieving operations or one-time flour sieving operations. You can easily use them according to your needs.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described using an electric type as an example, with reference to the drawings.

[Example 1] In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a container with a narrow body, and this container 1 consists of an upper portion 1a and a lower portion 1b having a trapezoidal cross section. Reference numeral 2 denotes a sieve consisting of a sheet-like mesh disposed at the joint between both parts 1a and 1b, and the container 1 is partitioned by this sieve into a first powder reservoir section S1 and a second powder reservoir section S2. . Reference numeral 4 denotes a lid member that is attached to the upper opening 5 of the container 1 so as to be openable and closable, and is rotatably attached by a hinge portion 6. Note that the lid member 4 may be attached by screwing means or the like instead of using the hinge portion 6. Reference numeral 7 designates a hand grip portion, and 8 designates an engagement projection provided on the hand grip portion. 9 is the lower opening 10 of the container 1

It is attached by screwing 1 and 12 together. 1
3 is a scale part for visually checking the amount of powder,
This container 1 is made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin or other transparent material, so that the amount of powder inside can be visually confirmed from the outside.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a grip provided on the side of the container 1, and a motor 15 is disposed inside the grip. 1
Reference numeral 6 denotes a drive section for converting the rotational motion of the motor 15 into reciprocating motion to cause the sieve 2 to reciprocate at high speed, and is composed of an eccentric cam or the like. Reference numeral 17 indicates a well-known switch section of the motor 15 provided on the grip section 14, and 18 indicates a power supply section consisting of a battery. When the switch section 17 is slid upward, the motor 15 rotates at high speed, and when the switch section 17 is slid downward, the motor 15 rotates at a low speed. do. Of course, this switch section 17 may be a push-type switch section in addition to the slide switch means described above. In addition, since the container 1 is to be used upside down, the grip part 1 should be adjusted for ease of use.
Switch parts may be provided above and below 4, respectively. In addition, in order to simplify the work of reversing the container, the grip part 24 is attached to the rotating shaft part 2 as shown in FIG.
5 and 26 so as to be rotatably attached to the approximate center of the container 21, so that the grip part 24 and the container 21 are relatively rotatable. You can eliminate the hassle of doing things. In FIG. 3, 27 and 28 are lid members, and 29 is a universal joint.

This powder sifter consists of the above structure,
To sift the powder, the lid 9 is attached to the lower opening 10 of the container 1, the upper lid 4 is opened, and the powder is poured into the first powder reservoir S1. When the powder is thrown in in this manner, a part of it falls downward through the sieve 2, but since the lid member 9 is attached to the lower opening 10, the powder does not fall onto the floor or the like.

Next, when the grip part 14 is held and the switch part 17 is operated, the motor 15 is driven and the sieve 2 vibrates in the horizontal direction, and the powder is sifted into the first powder reservoir S1.
The powder is collected in the lower powder reservoir S2, which has the same capacity as .

When the first sieving is completed in this way, the upper lid 4 is closed, the container 1 is turned upside down (see FIG. 2), and the switch 17 is operated again to vibrate the sieve 2. Then, the powder accumulated in the second powder reservoir S2 is sifted by the sieve 2 and accumulated in the first powder reservoir S1. The third powder sieve is
This is done by turning the container upside down again and vibrating the sieve 2. And the final episode is lid material 4,9
With one side open, sift the powder in container 1 directly into a bowl or the like. It is preferable to sieve the powder an odd number of times, thereby preventing the residual powder produced by the first sieving of the powder introduced from the lid material 4 from ultimately entering the bowl. do not have.

In addition, this powder sifter has openings 5 and 1 of the container 1.
Since the lids 4 and 9 are separately attached to the lid 4 and 9 so as to be openable and closable, the powder can be easily sifted once by opening one lid 4 and putting the powder into the first powder reservoir S1. Also, if both lids 4 and 9 are opened,
Continuous one-time sieving work (work exclusively for one-time sieving) is possible, in which powder is added and powder is sieved at the same time.

As described above, with this powder sifter, it is possible to easily sieve the powder multiple times or sieve the powder once.
