Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field to Which the Invention Pertains] This invention provides a cooking game in which compressed air generated by manual operation is ejected from the surface of water stored in a cooking device to have an effect similar to boiling during cooking. This relates to a toy set for cooking utensils.

[Prior art and its drawbacks] Conventionally, in this type of toy, the compressed air generated by the air compression part is blown out directly from the cooking surface of the cooker, so the compressed air is blown out only when the compression part is operated, making it difficult for hands to handle. If you let go of the button, the ejection will stop, which is significantly different from the actual cooking action, and may prevent children, etc. from using the compression action to perform a boiling-like action while using another hand to perform a cooking-like or other action. is difficult.

[Objective of the present invention] In view of the above points, the present invention allows the boiling-like effect to continue for a certain period of time even if the hand is removed from the air compressor, thus creating a state similar to that during actual cooking. To provide a cooker set toy that allows the user to enjoy an atmosphere close to the actual situation, and also allows the user to use his/her free hand to perform cooking operations and compressed air supply amount adjustment operations similar to heat amount adjustment. .

[Embodiment of the Invention] Next, an embodiment of the invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking utensil set toy according to the present invention consists of a compressed air supply A and a cooking utensil C connected to the compressed air supply via a pipe B.

The compressed air supply device A is designed to compress air, store it, and simultaneously discharge it to the outside by pressing it by hand.It can be placed stably on a desk or floor. For use, it is formed in the form of a container.

The detailed structure is explained based on Figure 2.
The compressed air supply device A includes an air compression section 1 and a three-way pipe 2.
and a compressed air storage section 3. In a preferred embodiment, since the compressed air reservoir 3 is formed of a rubber balloon, and in order to maintain a stable state and protect the rubber balloon regardless of its expansion and contraction, the three-way tube and the rubber balloon are accommodated. The container 4 is provided with a container 4.

The air compression unit 1 has a lower end of an elastic bellows tube 5 whose upper surface is sealed and is fitted into an upper opening 6 of a container 4, and a shielding plate 8 is inserted into a groove 7 provided inside the opening of the container.
The circumferential edges of the bellows tube 5 are fitted and connected to seal the bellows tube 5, and the shielding plate 8 is provided with an air intake valve 9 and an air discharge valve 10 for communicating the inside of the container 4 and the inside of the bellows tube. ing. The air intake valve 9 is a check valve that allows air to flow from the inside of the container 4 in the direction of the bellows tube, but prevents air from flowing in the opposite direction. A check valve that allows air to flow from the pipe toward the container, but prevents air from flowing in the opposite direction.

In this way, when the air compressor 1 repeatedly presses down and releases the upper surface of the bellows tube with the palm of the hand, air in the container is sucked into the bellows tube 5 through the suction valve 9, compressed, and discharged through the discharge valve 10. .

On the upper surface of the container 4, there is a groove extending upwardly along an arc around the bellows tube 5, at the middle of the height of the bellows tube,
For example, a guide wall 1 that extends up to about one-third of the height
1 is provided to prevent the hand from unnecessarily wobbling when the bellows tube expands and contracts.

In the illustrated embodiment, the three-way pipe 2 has the shielding plate 8
The first port is connected to the lower end of the discharge valve 10 of the air compression section, the second port is connected to the compressed air storage section 3, and the third port extends to the outside of the container. A connecting pipe 12 for connecting one end of the pipe C is connected thereto.

The compressed air storage section 3 is connected to a pipe B as described later.
It is for storing the compressed air discharged from the discharge valve 10 when the valve of the flow rate adjustment part of the cooking device described later connected to the other end is closed,
Although it is possible to use an egg-shaped sealed bellows, rubber balloons are most suitable because they have a large expansion and contraction ratio, can store a large amount of compressed air, and can discharge compressed air until the end. When a rubber balloon is used, a mounting member 13 that can be easily connected to the mouth of the rubber balloon by fitting into the second port of the three-way tube 2 is provided.
By inserting the rubber balloon up to the top of the annular protrusion 14 protruding around the toy, the rubber balloon can be easily attached, and if the rubber balloon bursts due to long-term use of this toy, the rubber balloon alone can be easily removed. Can be exchanged.

Next, the structure of the cooking device C will be explained based on FIG. 3. This cooking device has a cooking surface 16 recessed on the top surface so that water can be stored therein, and a small hole opening upward in the bottom surface of the cooking surface. 17 are provided. Each small hole communicates with an air distribution pipe 18 located at the bottom of the cooking surface. By forming an annular recess at the bottom of the cooking surface, fitting an air distribution pipe 18 formed in a similar annular shape into the recess, and providing a small hole 17 in this air distribution pipe, small hole arrangement and air distribution are possible. is facilitated.

Further, a flow rate adjustment section 19 is attached to the side of the cooking device C. The flow rate adjustment unit 19 has a connecting pipe projecting to the outside, and a pipe B connected at one end to the connecting pipe 12 of the compressed air supply device is connected to the connecting pipe.
The other end of is joined. In addition, the flow rate adjustment section 19
By rotating the knob 21 in a predetermined direction, the flow rate and pressure of the compressed air flowing in from the connecting pipe are adjusted and supplied into the air distribution pipe 18 via a regulating valve connected to the knob.

22 is a lid made of transparent plastic or glass.

With the above configuration, if the knob 21 of the flow rate adjustment section 19 is now in the closed position and the bellows tube 5 of the air compression section 1 of the compressed air supply device A is repeatedly depressed and released, the air in the container 4 will be increased. The air is sucked into the bellows tube through the suction valve 9, compressed and sucked through the discharge valve 10, and stored in the compressed air storage section 3 through the first and second ports of the three-way tube 2. As the compression part is operated, the storage part 3 expands, but compressed air can be stored in the container 4 until it becomes full.
In this case, since it is necessary to supply air from the outside into the container, outside air intake ports 15a and 15b are provided at the bottom of the container 4, in place of the bottom, or in addition to the bottom. When using a rubber balloon as the compressed air reservoir as in the example shown, the outside air intake at the bottom may be blocked by the expanded rubber balloon, so it is best to provide the outside air intake at the top of the container. .

After compressed air is stored in the compressed air supply device A, when the knob 21 of the flow rate adjustment section of the cooking device C is turned to open the adjustment valve, the compressed air is supplied to the air distribution pipe 18.
After passing through, it is ejected from the small hole 17 onto the cooking surface. Therefore, when water is stored on the cooking surface, a large number of air bubbles are continuously generated on the cooking surface by small amounts of air ejected from the small holes. When simulated cooking products TF such as model vegetables, hamburgers, fried eggs, steaks, etc. are placed on the cooking surface, the generation of continuous bubbles and the sound of the bubbles bursting make it seem as if the cooked products are being boiled. A pseudo state is obtained.

Further, by rotating the knob 21 of the flow rate adjustment section, the amount of compressed air supplied can be adjusted, and the same effect as adjusting the amount of heat in a real cooking device can be achieved. Furthermore, the user can play cooking by removing the lid 22 and performing operations such as returning cooked food using the attached props.

If the pressure of the air supplied during cooking becomes low, if you operate the compressed air supply device A again without changing the flow rate adjustment section 19, the compressed air from the compression section 1 will flow through the three-way pipe 2 and pipe B. It is then supplied to the cooking device C. Excess compressed air due to the restriction of the flow rate adjustment section is stored in the compressed air storage section 3.

[Effects of the Invention] As mentioned above, in this toy, the compressed air supply device is provided with a compressed air storage section, so even if the compressed air supply device is removed, air is constantly supplied to the cooking device. Since it lasts for a certain amount of time, even if you take your hand off, the cooker can continue to perform a similar action to boiling, making it easier to use your free hand to operate the flow rate adjustment part of the cooker and perform cooking tasks such as reversing food. This creates conditions that closely resemble actual cooking, allowing you to enjoy an authentic atmosphere.
