Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a colander for noodles.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, when boiling noodle balls such as somen, udon, ramen, spaghetti, etc., the balls were placed in a basket-like colander with many draining holes, and then boiled in a hot water pot for the required time. The drainer is removed from the hot water pot, the balls in the drainer are transferred to a bowl or plate, and served to the customer.

(c) Problems that the invention aims to solve However, the conventional colander only has an opening at the top end, and the gripping rod is integrally connected to the rear part of the basket-like body, so it is difficult to boil the water. In order to take out the roasted balls from the basket-like body, the basket-like body must be completely turned over, and if such work is done for a long time, it will be very tiring and will also cause wrist pain. was.

An object of the present invention is to provide a colander for noodles that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention attaches a gripping rod to the rear of a bottomed cylindrical body having a noodle input opening at the upper end, and forms an openable/closable wall on the side wall of the cylindrical body. At the same time, the bottom wall is sloped downward from the wall facing the opening/closing wall toward the opening/closing wall, and the gripping rod is provided with an opening/closing wall operating section, so that the opening/closing wall operating section and the opening/closing wall are connected to each other. Between,
This invention relates to a drainer for noodles characterized by having an opening/closing force transmission mechanism interposed therein.

(E) Actions and Effects With the above configuration, the present invention has the following effects.

Since a part of the side wall or bottom wall of the cylindrical body can be opened by simply operating the opening/closing operation part provided on the gripping rod, the drainer can be easily opened/closed.

By simply operating the opening/closing operation part provided on the gripping rod, you can open a part of the side wall or bottom wall of the cylindrical body, so you can open and close the entire colander, including the gripping rod, without having to turn it over. It won't hurt your skin, and you won't get tired even if you use it for a long time.

An opening/closing wall that can be opened and closed is formed on the side wall of the cylindrical body, and the bottom wall has a downward slope from the wall facing the opening/closing wall toward the opening/closing wall, so that the cylindrical body can be moved up and down. After draining the boiled noodle balls inside the cylindrical body, simply by opening the opening/closing wall, you can easily transfer the noodle balls to a bowl or plate along the downwardly sloped bottom wall. I can do it.

Since the noodle balls are moved along the bottom wall and released, the noodle balls do not harden into dumplings, and the noodles can be transferred to a bowl or plate while remaining in a well-drained state. I can do it.

(F) Examples The present invention will be specifically described below based on examples shown in the attached drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, A indicates a drainer for noodles according to the present invention, and such drainer A
This includes a cylindrical body 10 for substantially accommodating noodles therein, and a gripping rod 1 provided at the rear of the cylindrical body 10.
Consists of 1.

In this embodiment, the cylindrical main body 10 is shown as a bottomed rectangular box-shaped and porous cylindrical body with a noodle input opening provided at the upper end, and has a front wall 10a, a rear wall 10
b, left and right side walls 10c, 10d, and a bottom wall 12.

In such a configuration, the rear wall 10b, the left and right side walls 1
0c, 10d and the bottom wall 12 are formed as one piece, and the front wall 10a has its upper end pivoted by a pivot 13, and its lower end abuts the front end of the bottom wall 12 so as to be able to move toward and away from it. It forms an opening/closing wall.

Then, by opening the front wall 10a to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 1, the noodles inside the cylindrical main body 10 can be released to the outside.

In addition, a gripping rod 11 provided at the rear of the cylindrical main body 10
is formed from a vertical cylinder whose lower end is integrally attached to the upper end of the rear wall 10b of the cylindrical main body 10, and the gripping rod 11 has its upper and lower ends open.

The gripping rod 11 is provided with an opening/closing wall operating section B inside thereof, and the opening/closing wall operating section B is
Lifting operation shaft 1 disposed within the gripping rod 11 so as to be freely raised and lowered
4, an operation button 15 connected to the upper end of the elevating operation shaft 14, and a spring 17 interposed between the operation button 15 and a stopper 16 provided at the lower end of the gripping rod 11.

Further, the opening/closing wall operation section B is operated by an opening/closing force transmission mechanism C to a front wall 10a that functions as an opening/closing wall.
The opening/closing force transmission mechanism C
In this embodiment, the base end is connected to the elevating operation shaft 14.
An operation part side lever 18 is fixed to the lower end and has its tip extended toward the upper end of the front wall 10a, and is integrally fixed to the base end and the upper end of the front wall 10a, and has its tip extended toward the rear wall 10b. The levers 18 and 19 are pivotally connected to each other by a pivot 20.

With this configuration, when the push button 15 of the opening/closing wall operation section B is pressed, the elevating operation shaft 14 descends against the elastic force of the spring 17, and as a result of this descent,
The operating part side lever 18 and the opening/closing wall side lever 19 rotate downward about the pivot 13, and as they rotate, the front wall 10 is integrated with the opening/closing wall side lever 19.
A is also rotated in the direction of the arrow to take the opening position shown by the imaginary line.

On the other hand, if the operating force on the push button 15 is released, the restoring force of the spring 17 causes the front wall 10 to
a will return to the closed position shown by the solid line.

Next, a method of using the noodle colander A having the above structure will be explained.

First, noodles balls are put into the cylindrical body 10, a noodle colander A is placed in a hot water pot, and after the balls are boiled in the hot water pot for a required time, the colander A is taken out from the hot water pot.

Next, the boiled balls are transferred to a bowl or plate, but in the present invention, this transfer work is done by pressing the push button 15 with the thumb of the hand holding the colander A, opening the front wall 10a, and opening the tube. This can be easily done by releasing the balls inside the shaped body 10 onto a bowl or plate.

In addition, to explain the other components in the illustrated embodiment, as is clear from FIG. Easier release and better draining can be achieved.

In addition, in FIG. 2, 21 is a hanger,
It is used to hang the noodle colander A on the rim of a hot water pot, etc.

Furthermore, another embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, and this embodiment relates to a colander A for noodles in which the opening/closing wall is the bottom wall 12.

As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the bottom wall 12
is attached to the left and right side walls 10 by means of a pivot 30 at its rear end.
b, 10c, the lower end of the elevating/lowering operation shaft 14 is bent forward, and the bent end is connected to the middle of the bottom wall 12.

Further, with this configuration, the bottom wall 12 can be easily opened and closed by pressing the push button 15, and the noodles can be easily discharged from the cylindrical main body 10 onto a bowl or a plate.

Although not shown, the opening/closing wall operation unit B may be of the manual type shown, or may be of the automatic type using a small motor or the like.
