Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention (industrial field of application) This invention relates to a spatula used for straining.

(Problems to be Solved by the Prior Art and Ideas) Conventionally, ura-sukuri, in which food placed on a sieve screen is pressed down with a spatula and strained, is often performed. Because the straining surface of the spatula used for this back straining is flat,
When the food is pressed down with the spatula, there is a risk that the food may escape to both the left and right sides, and the food is interposed between the strainer net and the spatula, causing the spatula to float from the strainer net, making operation very unstable. Therefore, support walls that are applied to the strainer screen are provided on both the left and right sides of the strainer surface, and a recess for storing food is provided between the two support walls. Although the stability during storage can be improved, the food in the storage recess cannot be sufficiently pressed down and strained because it is blocked by both supporting walls.

Structure of the invention (Means for solving the problem) The present invention provides support walls protruding from both left and right sides of the straining surface, and a recess for storing food between the two support walls. The front end side is made gradually shallower than the rear end side, and both front and rear ends are opened to the bottom surface of the food storage recess without providing a stepped portion.

(Function) Then, the spatula is moved with good stability while keeping both support walls in contact with the straining net, and during the movement operation, the food in the storage recess is transferred from the rear end side where the volume is large to the front end side where the volume is small. While being exchanged, it is crushed by the bottom surface, and the support walls prevent it from escaping to the left and right sides, ensuring that it falls from the straining net into the saucepan. Further, since both the front and back ends of the spatula are open to the bottom of the food storage recess without providing a stepped portion, it is very easy to remove the food residue.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
It consists of a handle 3 integrally molded on the rear end, and support walls 5 are provided protruding from both left and right sides of the straining surface 4 which is the lower side of the strainer 2, and food is stored between the support walls 5. A recess 6 is provided. Both front and rear ends 6a and 6b of this housing recess 6 are open to the bottom surface 6c without providing a step, and the front end 6a side is open to the rear end 6b.
It gradually becomes shallower than the side, especially in the accommodation recess 6.
The bottom surface 6c smoothly continues to the front end of the strainer 2, and the depth of the front end 6a of the storage recess 6 is zero. Further, the contact surface 5a of the support wall portion 5 and the bottom surface 6c of the accommodation recess 6 are each formed into a convex curved surface that is gently curved in the front-rear direction. On the other hand, a side wall portion 7 is provided to protrude upward continuously from both the supporting wall portions 5, and a scooping portion 9 is provided by the both side wall portions 7 and a rear wall portion 8 protruding between the rear ends thereof. ing.

Using the back strainer spatula 1 configured as described above, the food F on the strainer net 11 placed on the saucepan 10 is
When straining, as shown in FIG. 4, the food F is put into the rear end 6b side of the storage recess 6, and the contact surfaces 5a of both support walls 5 are applied to the strainer net 11, and then The entire spatula 1 is moved rearward and upward while keeping the contact surface 5a always in contact with the straining net 11. By this moving operation, the food F is transferred to the rear end 6b of the storage recess 6 which has a large volume.
While being transferred from the side to the front end 6a side having a smaller volume, it is surely crushed by the bottom surface 6c, and falls from the straining net 11 into the saucepan 10 without escaping to the left and right sides. Next, move the first spatula body forward and return it to its original position. In this way, by simply repeating the rolling operation of the spatula 1 while applying the contact surface 5a of the support wall portion 5 to the straining net 11, the food F can be strained with sufficient pressing force and with a stable operation. Further, the remaining dregs adhering to the storage recess 6 are removed by fitting the extruded protruding wall 12 formed on the saucer 10 into the storage recess 6 and moving the spatula 1. On the other hand, saucepan 10
The food F inside can be transferred using the scooping part 9 of the spatula 1.

Further, since both the front and rear ends 6a and 6b of the storage recess 6 are completely opened without providing a stepped portion, it is very easy to remove the remains of the food W.

Further, since the support wall portion 5 prevents an excessive force from being applied to the food F, the opening of the straining net 11 becomes unnecessarily large due to the excessive force, and the slag remains in the saucepan 10. You can definitely prevent accidents from falling.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention described in detail above, it is possible not only to prevent the escape of the food F in the storage recess 6 by the support walls 5 and to improve the stability during operation, but also to improve the stability during operation. By changing the depth at point 6, food F can be sufficiently pressed and strained. Further, since both the front and rear ends of the storage recess are completely opened without providing a stepped portion, it is very easy to remove the remaining food particles.
