Description

  The present invention relates to a colander and a colander bowl set used when sharpening rice such as glutinous rice, glutinous rice, five-grain rice, white rice, and brown rice.

  Conventionally, when white rice is sharpened before cooking rice, a colander and a bowl are prepared, the colander is accommodated in the prepared bowl, and white rice and water are put into it and sharpened. After sharpening, lift the colander from the bowl and discard the sharpening juice from the bowl. By repeating this process, the polishing of white rice is completed. The monkey has a circular outer shape, and has a constricted side wall whose outer diameter decreases toward the lower side, and a bottom wall having a horizontal and substantially circular outer shape that closes the lower end opening of the side wall. I have. The side wall is formed with a large number of long holes in the vertical (vertical) direction at intervals in the vertical direction and horizontal (horizontal) direction, and the divided portion between the long holes reaches the inner surface, and the bottom Many arc-shaped long holes are formed in the radial direction and the circumferential direction in the inner part of the wall (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2011-92364 A

  In the said patent document 1, sharpening soup cannot be moved to the exterior rapidly through the intermittent long hole formed many at intervals. Therefore, drainage was bad and rice bran odor sometimes occurred. In addition, it is conceivable to increase the number of long holes formed in the colander to move the sharpening juice quickly, but as the number of long holes increases, the strength decreases and the number of long holes to be formed also increases. There is a limit and early improvement is desired.

  Then, this invention is made | formed in view of this situation, and makes it a subject to provide the colander and colander bowl set which can discharge | grip sharpening juice to the exterior rapidly.

  The colander according to the present invention comprises an annular side wall portion whose upper end is opened and a bottom wall portion that closes a lower end of the side wall portion, and a plurality of water discharge slits extending downward from the upper end portion of the side wall portion. A plurality of annular reinforcing ribs which are formed at intervals in the direction and which connect the side wall portions located between the adjacent slits in the horizontal direction in the horizontal direction with an interval in the vertical direction, and the outer surface of the reinforcing ribs The slits are connected in the vertical direction by projecting outward from the outer surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the portion of the reinforcing rib straddling the slit positioned outside the inner surface of the side wall. It is characterized by that.

  According to the present invention, since the slits are connected without interruption at the reinforcing ribs in the vertical direction, for example, the inner surface of the part of the reinforcing rib that straddles the slits of the reinforcing ribs to the lower part of the slits that cannot be discharged at the upper part of the slits. It is possible to quickly move in a state without any obstacles, to discharge from the lower part where the reinforcing ribs of the slit do not exist, and to discharge the sharpening juice quickly. Further, by reinforcing the side wall portion with a plurality of annular reinforcing ribs, the thickness of the side wall portion can be reduced, so that the weight can be reduced.

  Further, in the colander according to the present invention, the bottom wall portion is configured in a mountain shape that becomes higher toward the center portion side, and includes an inner portion positioned on the inner side and an outer portion positioned on the outer side of the inner portion, The inner part may be constituted by a wall part that becomes a non-drainage part, and the outer part may be constituted by a water discharge part that is formed by extending the slit radially from the lower end of the side wall part to the inner part. Good.

  As described above, the sharpened soup collected in the shape of a mountain that is higher at the center is smoothly drained to the lower outer side and quickly discharged to the outside from the radially outer water discharge part. The Moreover, the shape retention strength of a bottom wall part can be raised by providing the inner part comprised from the wall part used as a non-drainage part.

  Further, in the colander according to the present invention, the side wall portion is configured in a constricted shape with an outer diameter decreasing toward the lower end, and a unit area from the upper end of the side wall portion toward the inner end of the water discharge portion. You may comprise the width | variety of this slit so that the area of the said slit per hit may increase.

  As described above, since the area of the slit per unit area increases from the upper end of the side wall portion toward the inner side end of the bottom wall portion of the water discharge portion, the sharpening juice on the lower side is efficiently discharged. In addition, it is possible to discharge the sharpening juice to the outside more quickly.

  Further, according to the present invention, if the colander bowl set includes the colander and a bowl configured to accommodate the colander, water can be stored inside the colander bowl set. Can be sharpened with water stored. For this reason, it can be used effectively when sharpening rice.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the slits positioned above and below between the reinforcing ribs are connected in the vertical direction, a colander and a colander bowl set capable of quickly discharging the sharpening juice to the outside are provided. be able to. Further, by reinforcing the side wall with a plurality of annular reinforcing ribs, the thickness of the side wall can be reduced and the weight can be reduced.

It is a top view of a colander. It is a bottom view of a colander. It is the sectional view on the AA line in FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 3. It is CC sectional view taken on the line in FIG. It is an enlarged view of the right side part of the monkey in FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the state which lifted the colander in the bowl diagonally.

  FIG. 1 shows a colander bowl set 3 including a bowl 1 and a colander 2 housed inside the bowl 1. This colander bowl set 3 is used when sharpening white rice before cooking rice. Here, although white rice is demonstrated, rice, such as sticky rice, sticky rice, five-grain rice, brown rice, may be sufficient. If there is the colander bowl set, water can be stored inside the colander bowl set, so that the sharpening operation can be performed with the water stored if necessary. For this reason, it can be used effectively when sharpening rice.

  The bowl 1 is formed of various synthetic resin materials (or metals such as stainless steel), and has a constricted shape with an open upper end, a circular shape in a plan view, and a smaller outer diameter toward the lower end in a side view. 1 A of side walls and the flat circular bottom wall 1B which closes the lower end of 1 A of side walls are provided. Further, the inner diameter of the bowl 1 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the colander 2 so that the colander 2 can be accommodated therein. In the state in which the monkey 2 is accommodated, the upper end of the monkey 2 and the upper end of the bowl 1 are substantially the same, and a slight gap is generated between the outer surface of the monkey 2 and the inner surface of the bowl 1. Yes.

  The colander 2 is formed of various synthetic resin materials (here, a material in which polypropylene and elastomer are mixed at a predetermined ratio), and as shown in FIGS. And the bottom wall part 5 which closes the lower end of the side wall part 4 is provided. The side wall 4 has a large number of water discharge slits 6 extending downward from the upper end thereof (in this case, 72, but it may be less than 72 or more than 72). Are formed at intervals in the lateral direction, and the reinforcing ribs 7 are annular and connect the side wall portions 4A, 4A located between the adjacent slits 6, 6 in the lateral direction in the lateral direction and have the same width in the circumferential direction. There are provided a plurality (5 in the figure, but may be 2 or 3 or 5 or more) at intervals in the vertical direction. By providing the five reinforcing ribs 7, the thickness of the side wall portion 4 can be reduced. Actually, the thickness of the side wall 4 is set to 2.0 mm (an arbitrary value in the range of 1.2 mm to 3.0 mm is optimal from the viewpoint of strength). It will be changed according to the difference in size. In this way, by reinforcing the side wall portion 4 with the plurality of annular reinforcing ribs 8, 9, 10, the thickness of the side wall portion 4 can be reduced, so that weight reduction can be achieved.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 6, the five reinforcing ribs 7 include a first reinforcing rib 8 located at the upper end, a second reinforcing rib 9 located at the lower end, the first reinforcing rib 8 and the first reinforcing rib 8. Two third reinforcing ribs 10 are arranged between the two reinforcing ribs 9 at substantially equal intervals in the vertical direction. The first reinforcing rib 8 is located at the upper end of the monkey 2, and is vertically long and has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape. A slit 6 is formed from the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 8. The first reinforcing rib 8 is formed to have a width larger than that of the other reinforcing ribs 9 and 10, but the thickness is thicker than the third reinforcing rib 10 and substantially the same thickness as the second reinforcing rib 9. It constitutes the strongest part. The 2nd reinforcement rib 9 is located in the lower end part of the side wall part 4 of the colander 2, for example, is formed as a leg part for mounting the colander 2 on a sink. The second reinforcing rib 9 protrudes downward, the cross-sectional shape having a narrower width toward the tip side is formed in a substantially mountain shape, the width is configured to be approximately the same as the width of the third reinforcing rib 10, and The thickness is substantially the same as the thickness of the first reinforcing rib 8. The three third reinforcing ribs 10 having the same shape and the same thickness are formed in a trapezoidal shape with a narrower width at the tip (outer end), and between the first reinforcing rib 8 and the second reinforcing rib 9. The first reinforcing rib 8 and the second reinforcing rib 9 are thinner than the first reinforcing rib 8 and the second reinforcing rib 9.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the slit 6 is formed with the same width (constant width) from the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 8 located at the upper end to the lower end of the side wall portion 4. 6 and 9, the outer surface 8A of the first reinforcing rib 8, the outer surface 9A of the second reinforcing rib 9, and the outer surface 10A of the three third reinforcing ribs 10 are more than the outer surface 4a of the side wall portion 4. The inner surface 9B of the portion 9C that protrudes outward and straddles the slit 6 of the second reinforcing rib 9 (crossing portion) 9C and the portion (crossing portion) 10C of the three third reinforcing ribs 10 that straddles the slit 6 are side walls. It is located outside the inner surface 4 b of the part 4. Thus, by forming the inner surface 9B of the portion 9C straddling the slit 6 of the second reinforcing rib 9 and the inner surface 10B of the portion 10C straddling the slit 6 of the three third reinforcing ribs 10, the slit 6 becomes the second reinforcing rib 9 And the slit 6 is connected in the up-down direction, without being divided up and down across each 3rd reinforcement rib 10, (it continues). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, it cannot be discharged from the upper portion of the slit 6, that is, the opening portion of the slit 6 between the lower end of the first reinforcing rib 8 and the upper end of the third reinforcing rib 10 positioned at the uppermost portion. The sharpening soup quickly moves downward without any obstacles along the inner surface 10B of the portion 10C straddling the slit 6 of the third reinforcing rib 10 located on the lower portion of the slit 6, that is, the uppermost portion. It can discharge | emit from the opening part of the slit 6 of the lower end of the 3rd reinforcement rib 10 located in 2nd, and the 3rd reinforcement rib 10 located in the 2nd from the top, and discharge of sharpening juice can be performed more rapidly. Further, the sharpening juice that could not be discharged from the lower end of the third reinforcing rib 10 positioned at the top and the opening portion of the slit 6 of the third reinforcing rib 10 positioned second from the top is second from the top. The third reinforcement rib 10 that moves downward along the inner surface 10B of the portion 10C that straddles the slit 6 of the third reinforcement rib 10 that is located, and the third reinforcement rib that is located third from the lower end of the third reinforcement rib 10 that is located second from the top. The rib 10 is discharged from the opening of the slit 6. Further, the sharpening juice that could not be discharged from the lower end of the third reinforcing rib 10 located second from the top and the opening portion of the slit 6 of the third reinforcing rib 10 located third (lowermost) from the top The third reinforcing rib 10 located at the third position moves downward along the inner surface 10B of the portion 10C straddling the slit 6, and the lower end of the third reinforcing rib 10 located at the third position from the top and the second reinforcing rib 9 It is discharged from the opening of the slit 6. Here, the inner surface 10B of the third reinforcing rib 10 positioned in the slit 6 and the inner surface 9B of the second reinforcing rib 9 slightly protrude inward from the outer surface 4a of the side wall portion 4, but the third reinforcing rib positioned in the slit 6 is used. The inner surface 10B of the rib 10 and the inner surface 9B of the second reinforcing rib 9 and the outer surface 4a of the side wall portion 4 may be flush with each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the bottom wall portion 5 is formed in a mountain shape (in detail, a circular arc shape with a gentle cross section) that becomes higher toward the center portion side, and an inner portion 5 </ b> A positioned inside, And an outer portion 5B located outside the portion 5A. The inner portion 5 </ b> A is configured from a wall portion that is a non-drainage portion (a little thicker than the thickness of the side wall portion 4), and the outer portion 5 </ b> B has a slit 6 formed in the side wall portion 4 and a lower end of the side wall portion 4. It is comprised from the water discharge part formed so that it might extend radially so that it might go to the center part further. The slit 6 of the water discharge part is also formed with the same width (constant width). Thus, the shape retention strength of the bottom wall part 5 can be increased by providing the inner part 5A composed of the wall part. Then, the sharpening juice accumulated in the shape of a mountain that is higher toward the center portion smoothly flows down to the lower outer portion 5B side and radially extends to the outer water discharge portion (the multiple slits 6 of the outer portion 5B). ) Is quickly discharged to the outside.

  Moreover, the side wall part 4 is configured in a constricted shape in which the outer diameter decreases toward the lower end, and the width of the slit 6 is increased from the upper end (one end) of the side wall part 4 to the inner side of the water discharge part of the bottom wall part 5. The same width is formed up to the end (the other end). By comprising in this way, the area of the slit 6 per unit area can be increased so that it goes to the inner side edge part of the bottom wall part 5 of a water discharge part from the upper end of the side wall part 4. FIG. In other words, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the widths of all the side wall portions 4 </ b> A and 4 </ b> A that are adjacent in the lateral direction across the slit 6 having the same width (constant width) are closer to the lower side of the side wall portion 4. By narrowing, the area of the slit 6 per unit area is increased. Thus, since the area of the slit 6 per unit area increases from the upper end of the side wall part 4 toward the inner side edge of the bottom wall part 5 of the water discharge part, the discharge of the sharpening juice on the lower side is efficiently performed. And it is possible to discharge the sharpening juice to the outside more quickly. The width of the slit 6 is set to 1 mm, but may be set to an arbitrary size within a range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm according to, for example, the size of rice grains.

  The colander 2 and the bowl 1 configured as described above are prepared, and the colander 2 is accommodated in the prepared bowl 1, and white rice and water are added thereto, and then sharpened by stirring by hand. After sharpening, as shown in FIG. 9, the monkey 2 is lifted obliquely upward from the bowl 1, and the sharpening juice of the monkey 2 is discharged into the bowl 1. After the sharpening juice is discharged to the bowl 1, the bowl 1 is tilted and discharged to the sink. This is repeated several times to complete the sharpening operation.

  In addition, the colander and colander bowl set which concern on this invention are not limited to embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

  In the above embodiment, the external shape of the monkey 2 is circular. However, depending on circumstances, it may be an ellipse, a heart shape, a polygon more than a triangle, or the like. In this case, the shape of the bowl 1 may be a little larger and similar to the shape of the colander 2.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the water discharge part was provided in a part of bottom wall part 5, you may comprise all the bottom wall parts 5 with a water discharge part, or comprise with a wall part without a water discharge part. May be.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the slit 6 was formed so that it might extend from the side wall part 4 to a part of bottom wall part 5, the slit extended to the lower end of the side wall part 4 may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the bottom wall part 5 was comprised in the mountain shape which becomes high toward the center part side, a flat bottom wall part may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the width | variety of the slit 6 is comprised in the same width | variety in any position of a longitudinal direction, and it is a unit so that it goes to the inner side edge of the bottom wall part 5 of a water discharge part from the upper end of the side wall part 4. Although the area of the slit 6 per area is increased, the slit 6 per unit area at the lower end portion where water is easily discharged can be formed by making the width of the slit 6 wider toward the lower end side of the side wall portion 4. The area may be further increased so that water can be discharged efficiently.
