Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention (industrial application field) This invention relates to auxiliary legs for cake coolers, trivets, and other mounting devices.

(Prior art) In general, for cake coolers, trivets, etc., which have a circular planar surface, there is a mounting device main body 1, as shown in FIG.
Three legs 11 of equal length on the back side of 0
They were placed 120° apart. In this way, in a three-point support type mounting device having three legs 11 provided at equal intervals, each leg 11
Even if the lengths of the mounting tools are slightly different from each other, the mounting tool can be supported on a support surface such as a floor in a very stable state without wobbling. Furthermore, in this mounting tool, when an object P such as a cake or a pot is placed on the central portion of the main body 10, the object P is placed in a well-balanced and stable state. However, when the placed object P is placed on the main body 10 in a state of being biased in one direction as shown in FIGS. may slip off the main body 10.

In addition, in a mounting device having a planar rectangular shape as shown in FIG.
Further, auxiliary legs 12 for preventing deflection are provided on both sides of the central portion in the length direction (indicated by the circle with two-dot chain lines). As shown in FIG. 10b, this auxiliary leg 1
2 is formed at the same height as the leg portion 11, and prevents the central portion of the main body 10 from bending downward due to the weight of the object P when the object P is placed on the main body 10.

However, due to manufacturing errors, the auxiliary leg 12 is different from the leg 1.
If the length is longer than 1, wobbling may occur when the mounting tool is supported on the support surface, or the central portion of the main body 10 may bulge, and the mounted object P may be supported in an unstable state. , it may slide in either direction.

(Problems that the invention attempts to solve) As mentioned above, this invention attempts to solve the problem that objects are placed in an unstable state and may slip off the main body. The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting device on which an object can be placed in a stable state.

Structure of the invention (means to solve the problem) In order to solve the above problems, this invention
It is formed between a plurality of legs provided on the mounting device main body, and is slightly shorter than these legs, and comes into contact with the support surface as the mounting tool main body is tilted or deflected, and This device employs the provision of auxiliary legs to support the placed object in a stable state.

(Function) By adopting the above-mentioned means, this device tilts when an object is placed on the main body in a biased state in one direction, and the auxiliary legs descend with this inclination. Since its lower end immediately comes into contact with a supporting surface such as a floor, the inclined portion is supported by the auxiliary legs and the main body is prevented from inclining any further.

In addition, even when the center part of the main body bends downward due to the weight of the object being placed, the auxiliary legs lower, so the center part is supported by the auxiliary legs and prevents the main body from bending any further. be done.

(Example) A first example of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

In this embodiment, a cake cooler is used as the mounting device, and as shown in FIG. 1, the mounting device main body 1 is composed of a plurality of concentric rings 2 formed of wire rods. On the back surface of the main body 1, a plurality of linear support parts 3 (six in this embodiment) extending radially from the ring body 2 at the center to the ring body 2 at the outer periphery are attached using thin wire rods 4. It is fixed. Three leg parts 5 bent downward into a V-shape and three auxiliary legs 6 shorter by a length α than the leg part 5 are alternately formed at the outer end of each support part 3. ing. In addition,
The tips of the leg portions 5 and the auxiliary leg 6 pointing upward are fixed to the outer ring body 2 by welding or the like.

The cake cooler mentioned above usually has three legs5.
Supported by At this time, even if the lengths of the legs 5 are slightly different from each other, since this cake cooler has a three-point support structure, the cake cooler can be placed on the floor or other supporting surface without wobbling. It can be supported in a stable state. Furthermore, since the length of the auxiliary leg 6 is set to be shorter than the leg portion 5, even if the auxiliary leg 6 is formed longer than the set value due to manufacturing errors, it is unlikely to become longer than the leg portion 5. Therefore, the rattling can be more reliably prevented.

As shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, when the object P such as a cake is placed in a well-balanced manner at the center of the main body 1, the normal stable support state is maintained. However, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, when the object P is placed on the main body 1 in an unbalanced state biased in one direction, the main body 1 is tilted. When the main body 1 tilts to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, the lower end of the auxiliary leg 6 located in the inclination direction descends by a length α and comes into contact with the floor, so that the main body 1 does not incline more than a certain amount. For this reason,
Even when the object P is placed on the main body 1 in a biased state in one direction, the object P remains stable and does not slip off the main body 1.

FIG. 3 shows another example of this embodiment, in which the main body 1 is formed of a single spiral wire. Even with this configuration, there is no difference in operation or effect.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a trivet and a draining basket are used instead of the cake cooler as a mounting device, and legs 5 are attached to the bottom of these.
and three auxiliary legs 6 may be provided.

Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

In this embodiment, a cake cooler is used as the mounting device as in the first embodiment, but the sixth embodiment
As shown in the figure, the mounting device main body 1 is formed in a planar rectangular shape. The main body 1 includes a rectangular annular frame 7 and a holding part 8 extending in the entire length direction on the back surface of the frame 7, and three supports extending in the width direction on the back surface of the frame 7. The parts 3 are fixed apart from each other. As shown in FIG. 7, both ends of the two supporting parts 3 arranged on the left and right sides are bent outward in a V-shape to form leg parts 5, and the central part Both ends of the support portion 3 are bent in opposite directions into a V-shape to form auxiliary legs 6. Note that the auxiliary leg 6 is formed shorter than the leg portion 5 by a length β.

In the cake cooler described above, the legs 5 are long and the auxiliary legs 6 are short, so even if the object P is placed on the center and the center bends downward, the auxiliary legs 6 will not have the same length. When it descends by β, the lower end comes into contact with the floor, so deflection of more than a certain amount is avoided.

Further, since the length of the auxiliary leg 6 is set to be shorter than the leg portion 5, even if the auxiliary leg 6 is formed longer than the set value due to manufacturing error, it is unlikely to become longer than the leg portion 5. Therefore, when the cake cooler is supported on the support surface, no wobbling occurs or the central part of the main body 1 rises, and when the object P is placed on the main body 1, The placed object P is not placed in an unstable state.

Effects of the device As detailed above, this device has a structure that is slightly shorter than the legs between the plurality of legs provided on the mounting device body, and that supports the mounting device body as it inclines or bends. By providing auxiliary legs that contact the surface and stably support the object placed on the mounting device main body, the device prevents the main body from wobbling when supported on a supporting surface such as the floor. In addition to being able to prevent the objects from being placed on the main body, the main body does not tilt or bend significantly even when the objects are placed on the main body, which has the excellent effect of allowing the objects to be placed in a stable state. This is a practically preferable idea.
