Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a table cover for keeping heat or cold.

Boiled and fried foods are delicious when eaten while they are warm, but especially in the winter, by the time the food is plated and served on the table, and the meal is prepared, it is already cold and its flavor has diminished. There are many cases.

In the summer, cold foods such as hiyashi (cold noodles) and soumen (thin noodles) taste delicious, but by the time they are served on the table and you begin to eat them, they have often become lukewarm and taste unpleasant.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this invention prevents the deterioration of taste by keeping hot or cold food hot or cold from the time it is served on the table until the meal preparation is completed and the food is eaten. It was made for the purpose of providing a table cover.

That is, in the dining table cover according to this invention, a cover body having a desired convex curved cross-sectional shape is formed by sewing a material in which a breathable and flexible heat insulating material is sandwiched between an outer fabric and an inner fabric. At the same time, the main feature is that a corrosion-resistant metal foil with a large number of ventilation holes is laminated to the entire inner surface of the cover body, and this will be explained in detail below based on drawings showing examples. explain.

Figures 1 and 2 show an example of a dining table cover formed into a substantially hemispherical shape.
Consists of.

This cover body 1 is made of a material in which a breathable flexible heat insulating material 5 is sandwiched between an outer cloth 3 and an inner cloth 4, and this material is made of a substantially equilateral triangle (all three sides swell outward). Four pieces 6a, 6 obtained by cutting into rice ball-shaped triangles each having an apex angle of 90 degrees
As shown in FIG.
1c, 61c, 61d, and 61d are sewn together to form the cover main body 1 having a substantially semicircular convex curved cross section, and the rising edges of these sewn ends prevent deformation of the cover main body 1. It functions as a shape-retaining frame to prevent this.

A specific example of a material suitable for forming the sutures of the cover body 1 as described above is as shown in FIG. Examples include so-called quilting-like materials in which stitches 7 are formed in a net shape, and similar materials.

On the other hand, the metal foil 2 is made of a corrosion-resistant metal such as aluminum, which does not corrode easily, and has a large number of vent holes 8 scattered therein for venting steam. This metal foil 2 may be laminated later with an appropriate adhesive or the like to the entire inner surface of the cover body 1 that has been sewn together as described above, but in some cases, the inner fabric 4 of the material used for forming the seams may be used. It may be pasted in advance. Further, the metal foil 2 may have its hem periphery folded back to the outside of the cover body 1.

In addition, numeral 9 in the figure is an oval ring-shaped handle that is inserted and fixed to the top of the dining table cover, and is used to lift the dining table cover, or to shorten the hem of the dining table cover and hang it on a hook, etc. when not in use. . Conversely, the handle 9 may be provided so as to protrude inward from the dining table cover, and the dining table cover may be turned over and hung on a hook or the like.

The dining table cover configured as described above can easily cover food placed on the dining table 12 while being placed in the pot 10, etc., or served on the tableware 11, etc., as shown in Fig. 3. Use by covering it. When covered in this way, cover body 1 of the dining table cover
The rising edges 61a, 61a, 61b, 61 of
b, 61c, 61c, 61d, and 61d act as shape-retaining frames, so the dining table cover maintains its hemispherical shape without sagging due to bending. The heat insulating material 5 of the cover body 1 prevents heat radiation and heat absorption to the outside air, so by the time you remove the table cover and start eating, hot dishes may cool down or cold dishes may cool down to a slight temperature. You can eat delicious meals without feeling stale.
In addition, since the corrosion-resistant metal foil 2 with ventilation holes 8 is laminated to the entire inner surface of the cover body 1, most of the steam liquefies on the surface of the metal foil 2 when it is placed over hot food. The surface of the metal foil 2 also flows down to the hem of the dining table cover without dripping on the way, and only the excess steam is dissipated through the ventilation hole 8 and the cover body 1, so that the cover body 1 is not overly wet. There is no occurrence of rust on the metal foil 2.

In this way, the dining table cover of this invention keeps the food warm or cold by covering it from the time the food is served on the table until the meal preparation is finished and the meal is started, thereby preventing deterioration of taste. It has the remarkable effect of allowing delicious meals to be eaten, has good shape retention, does not cause the cover body 1 to get too wet or the metal foil 2 to rust, and has a simple structure. It also has the advantage of being able to be mass-produced at low cost, and is extremely practical.

The above description has been made based on an example of a dining table cover formed into a substantially hemispherical shape, but this invention is not limited to such an example; for example, a rectangular parallelepiped,
Various design changes can be made without departing from the gist of this invention, such as forming the cover into a desired shape such as a cone or pyramid.
