Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rice paddle used when making a rice ball, and is particularly suitable when using a rice ball type.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Traditionally, rice balls were held by hand at home. However, there is a problem that germs attached to the hand are likely to be caught on the rice balls when the rice is gripped and molded. In recent years, rice balls are used for molding at home.
[0003]
However, when a rice ball such as pickled plum or salt kelp is put into a rice ball, a recess is formed in the center of the rice ball, but the recess is formed using chopsticks or by hand.
[0004]
When chopsticks are used, it is difficult to form depressions, and when they are formed by hand, there is a problem that germs are easily attached to the rice balls.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a convenient rice paddle which can easily form a recess for putting a rice ball into a bowl and can be formed in a sanitary manner.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, in this invention, it is a scoop which consists of the scooping part 1 and the handle | pattern part 2, Comprising: The protrusion 3 for forming the hollow for putting a tool into a rice ball was formed in the rear end of the handle | pattern part 2. .
[0007]
After scooping the rice at the scooping portion 1 and putting it into a rice ball shape, forming a rice ball, the surface of the rice ball is pushed by the projection 3 of the handle 2. If it does in this way, the hollow which puts a tool in a rice ball will be formed.
[0008]
The protrusion 3 preferably has a bell shape as in the invention described in claim 2.
[0009]
If it does in this way, the hollow formed in the rice ball becomes a shape with the depth and width which can put an ingredient easily.
[0010]
The protrusion 3 is preferably formed so as to hang down on the back side of the scoop as in the invention described in claim 3.
[0011]
If it does in this way, when the handle | steering-piece part 2 is held, since the processus | protrusion 3 will face downward, it will become easy to form a hollow in a rice ball.
[0012]
The height of the projection 3 is preferably approximately half the width of the rice ball as in the invention described in claim 4.
[0013]
In this way, if the projection 3 is pushed into the rice ball until the handle portion 2 comes into contact with the upper edge of the rice ball type, the tool becomes a recess having an appropriate depth at which the tool is substantially in the middle.
[0014]
On the surface of the protrusion 3, as described in claim 5, unevenness 3 a for preventing the adhesion of rice is formed, or as described in claim 6, a fluorine resin coating process for preventing the adhesion of rice is performed. It is preferable to do.
[0015]
In this way, the rice does not adhere to the protrusions 3, and the depressions are formed beautifully on the rice balls.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a rice scoop according to the present invention.
[0018]
The rice scoop of the present invention is a rice scoop formed by a synthetic resin composed of a scooping portion 1 and a handle portion 2, and a projection 3 for forming a recess for putting a rice ball on the rear end of the handle portion 2. Is formed.
[0019]
This rice scoop is for making rice balls, and is made smaller than ordinary rice scoops so that rice can be easily put into a rice ball type.
[0020]
Small protrusions are formed on the entire surface of the scooping portion 1 on the entire surface so that the rice does not adhere to the surface of the scooping portion 1 when the rice is scooped.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 2, the protrusion 3 is formed to hang down from the rear end of the handle 2 toward the back side of the paddle and has a substantially bell shape. Further, the surface of the protrusion 3 is formed with unevenness 3a for preventing the adhesion of rice.
[0022]
In this embodiment, the protrusion 3 is formed to hang down on the back side of the scoop, but the direction in which it is formed can be arbitrarily changed. Furthermore, although the unevenness 3a formed on the surface of the protrusion 3 is a protrusion extending downward, a small protrusion may be used, and it may be carried out in place of the fluorine resin coating process.
[0023]
Furthermore, the height of the protrusion 3 is approximately half the width (thickness) of the rice ball.
[0024]
Next, an example of forming a rice ball using the rice paddle and rice ball type of the present invention will be described.
[0025]
In this embodiment, a body portion 4a in which a triangular recess is formed, and a triangular onigiri type combined container 4 (manufactured by Imotani Co., Ltd.) made of polypropylene resin having a lid portion 4b connected to the body portion 4a via a hinge portion. Although used, it is not limited to this.
[0026]
Using the rice scoop of the present invention, the rice 5 is scooped from the inside of the rice cooker by the scooping part 1 and put into the main body part 4a of the triangular rice ball type container 4.
[0027]
Then, after the surface of the rice 5 is leveled by the scooping portion 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the handle portion 2 is held so that the rice paddles are reversed, and the handle portion 2 is above the triangular rice ball type container 4. Press the protrusion 3 onto the rice ball until it reaches the edge.
[0028]
Then, since the height of the protrusion 3 is approximately half of the width of the rice ball, a recess 6 having an appropriate depth is formed in the rice ball so that the tool is just in the middle when the tool is inserted. Moreover, since the projection 3 has a bell shape, the recess 6 is easy to put in.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 4, the rice ball is completed when the tool 7 is picked with chopsticks and placed in the recess 6 and the lid 4b is closed.
[0030]
Ingredient 7 can select arbitrary things, such as plum pickles and salt kelp.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
The rice paddle of the present invention is configured as described above, and if a rice ball is put into a rice ball type, a rice ball is formed, and then the surface of the rice ball is pushed with the projection of the handle, the recess for putting the rice ball into the bowl is simple and Not only is it beautifully formed, but the rice balls are not touched, so the germs on the hands do not adhere to the rice balls and are sanitary.
[0032]
If the projection is formed into a bell shape, the depression formed in the rice ball has a shape with a depth and width that makes it easy to put in a tool, making it easy to use.
[0033]
If the protrusion is formed to hang down on the back side of the scoop as in the third aspect of the invention, since the protrusion faces downward when the handle is held, it becomes easy to form a recess. It will be easy to use.
[0034]
If the height of the projection is approximately half of the width of the rice ball as in the invention according to claim 4, if the handle is pushed in until it comes into contact with the upper edge of the rice ball forming mold, As a result, you can make delicious rice balls with the ingredients in the middle of the rice balls.
[0035]
If the surface of the projection is formed with unevenness to prevent the adhesion of rice, as described in claim 5, or is coated with a fluorine resin to prevent the adhesion of rice, as described in claim 6. The rice does not adhere to the protrusions, and the recesses are neatly formed, making it easier to put the tool.
