Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a ring for fried eggs.

As a conventional ring of this kind, there is one in which a belt-shaped iron plate is curved into a ring shape to form a ring body, and a fried egg is made within this ring body.

However, with conventional fried egg rings, when removing the fried egg ring from a frying pan, etc., the lifting rod attached to the ring body gets hot, and the ring body and lifting rod are formed separately. However, there was a problem in that it was not easy to engage the lifting rod with the ring body by holding your hand over a heated frying pan during cooking, partly because of the heat.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fried egg ring in which a removable handle can be safely and easily engaged with the ring body without getting hot, and the ring body can be removed from a frying pan or the like.

Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a ring body formed by a band-shaped metal plate curved into a ring shape, and both ends 2 of the ring body are connected by connecting plates 3. Connected. Both end portions 2 of the ring body 1 are spot-welded to a connecting plate 3, respectively, in a state where they are abutted against each other. Therefore, there is no gap between both ends 2 of the ring body 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a handle attachment plate integrally formed on the connecting plate 3 and protruding outward from the ring body 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a locking ring formed by slightly curving the outer end of the mounting plate 4 downward, and an engaging recess 6 is formed by cutting out the outer upper part of both lengthwise ends to form a pair of mounting parts. is formed. Note that the length l1 of the locking ring 5 immediately below the engaging recess 6 is wider than the width l2 of the handle attachment plate 4.

A handle 7 is attached to the handle attachment plate 4 so as to be movable up and down, and is formed by bending a single metal wire 8 into a substantially rectangular ring shape. The handle 7 is attached to the mounting plate 4 by rotatably inserting both ends 9 of a wire 8 into both ends of the locking ring 5. Note that both ends 9 of the wire 8
are adapted to butt against each other, and the tip portions are formed in an arc shape. Further, the pair of side frames 10 of the wire rod 8 are always urged toward each other by their own elasticity.

Therefore, in the installed state, the handle 7 is
As shown in the figure, the base ends of the pair of side frames 10 of the wire rod 8 are engaged in the engagement recesses 6 at both ends of the locking ring 5, and the handle 7 is held in a state in which its tip is raised obliquely. It is becoming more and more common. Note that in this state, as described above, the length l1 of the locking ring 5 directly below the engagement recess 6 is longer than the width l2 of the handle mounting plate 4, so the handle 7 cannot be rotated further downward. There isn't.

Reference numeral 11 denotes an annular knob attached to the tip of the handle 7, with a groove 1 formed on the outer periphery of the knob.
The wire 8 of the handle 7 is inserted into the handle 2 and fixed to the handle 7. Reference numeral 13 designates a hole formed in the knob 11 for insertion of a hook.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a fluorine resin film as an easily peelable resin film coated on the inner circumferential surface 1a of the ring body 1, and is intended to improve peelability from the egg inside the ring body 1 during use. . The fluororesin film 14 may cover the entire surface of the ring body 1, that is, not only the inner circumferential surface 1a but also the outer circumferential surface and both upper and lower edges. In addition to the above-mentioned fluororesin, silicone, nylon, etc. can also be used as the easily peelable resin.

Now, when using the fried egg ring constructed as described above, place it in a frying pan or the like in the state shown in FIG. 1, and break an egg into the ring body 1. At this time, the shape of the egg is restricted to a circular shape by the ring body 1. Then, when the egg is baked and the shape is almost fixed, remove the ring from the top of the frying pan.

In this case, the ring body 1 has a handle 7.
The outer upper part of both lengthwise ends of the locking ring 5 into which the handle 7 is inserted is notched in a concave shape to form a pair of engagement recesses 6, so that the both ends 9 of the handle 7 can be easily inserted. be. In addition, the engagement recess 6
Since the length l1 of the locking ring 5 directly below is longer than the width l2 of the handle mounting plate 4, the handle 7 is held in a state where the tip to which the knob 11 is attached is raised obliquely, and the gripped portion is heated. Since it protrudes outward from the frying pan, etc., the fried egg ring can be removed safely without getting hot when lifting it.

When removing the ring from a frying pan or the like, the fluororesin film 14 is formed on the inner circumferential surface 1a of the ring body 1, which improves its removability. It won't crumble. Moreover, the removed ring body 1 can also be easily washed.

In addition, in the ring of the above embodiment, the ring body 1
Since both ends 2 of the egg are abutted together, there is no chance of eggs getting into the gap and sticking to the egg.

However, as shown in FIG. 9, there are rings in which both ends 2 of the ring body 1 are overlapped inside and outside, and the diameter of the ring body 1 can be adjusted by changing the length of this overlapping part. or the ring body 1 as shown in Figure 10.
In a ring in which both ends are bent outward and a plate-shaped handle 7 is attached between these ends 2, eggs may get stuck between the overlapped ends 2 or between the ends 2 and the handle 7. It gets stuck.

Further, in the fried egg ring shown in FIG. 9, since both ends 2 of the ring body 1 are overlapped with each other, the shape is not a perfect circle, and therefore the shape of the fried egg is also distorted. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, since both ends 2 of the ring body 1 are abutted against each other, the ring body 1 can have a perfect circular shape.

In addition, when the fluororesin film 14 is formed on the entire surface of the ring body 1, eggs attached to the lower edge, outer peripheral surface, or upper edge of the ring body 1 can be easily peeled off from the ring body 1 when making fried eggs. .

When the ring is to be put away after use, the handle 7 is folded into the ring body 1 as shown in FIG. When folding, the tip of the handle 7 is rotated slightly upwardly in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. Then, the pair of side frames 1 of the same handle 7
0 expands slightly against its own elasticity, and the locking ring 5
It separates from the engagement recesses 6 at both ends toward the ring body 1,
After detachment, it moves along both side edges of the mounting plate 4. Finally, the tip of the handle 7 is located within (or directly above) the ring body 1, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

Therefore, in this state, the knob 11 at the tip of the ring 7
You can also hang the ring body from a kitchen board by hooking it to a hook.

Note that the shape of the ring body 1 can be changed to various shapes such as a square annular shape as shown in FIG.

As detailed above, the present invention allows the handle to be attached to the ring body, so the handle part does not get hot during cooking, and when attaching the handle, it is necessary to attach the handle to the outside of both longitudinal ends of the locking ring. The upper part is cut out in a concave shape to form a pair of engaging recesses, making it easy to insert and install both ends of the handle.Moreover, the tip of the handle is held diagonally upward and the gripping part is heated, making it easier to install. Since it protrudes outward, the hand part does not get hot when lifting it, and it can be removed safely, so it is a practically preferable idea as a fried egg ring.
