Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は箸立てに関し、特に内部の手入れが容易にできる箸立てに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
周知のように、箸立ては有底円筒状又は有底角筒状をなし、食器棚の内部や食卓上に置いて使用される。また、食器乾燥器や食器洗浄器内にセットされ箸などの小物を入れる場合にも使用される。
【0003】
このような箸立てに内部の洗浄等の手入れを施す場合、内部に手を差し入れて内底面やコーナー部を洗うことが普通であるが、食器乾燥器等にセットされる箸入れは比較的小サイズに形成されるので、指先が届きにくいことがあり、手入れが不十分になることがある。
【0004】
このため、四側面部のうち一側面部を分離し、これをヒンジ結合することにより開閉自在とした箸立てが提案されている(実開平5−91557号公報参照)。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のように箸立ての一側面を開閉自在とした構成であっても、残り三側面は立体構造のままであるので、指先などがそれらに当たりやすく、特に仕切り板がある場合は奥まで指先が届き難く、十分な手入れができないことがあった。
【0006】
そこで、この発明は2部材の組合わせにより構成し、各部材の奥行きを浅く形成して手入れが容易にできるようにした箸立てを提供することを課題とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の課題を解決するために、この発明は、底面部、背面部及び両側面部とからなる箸立て本体と、その前面カバー部材とからなる箸立てにおいて、上記背面部の両側辺に連続した上記各側面部の前後方向の幅を上記底面部の前後方向の幅より小さく形成し、上記前面カバー部材の両側辺に上記各側面部に重なる側面カバー部を設けた構成とした。
【0008】
上記の構成によると、箸立て本体の側面部の奥行き深さが、底面部の奥行きより小さくなるので、前面カバー部材を外した状態での箸立て本体の手入れが容易になる。
【0009】
上記の両側面カバー部を上記の各側面部の内側に重ね、その重なり部において各側面カバー部と側面部をそれぞれ係脱自在に係合した構成、上記の底面部上に仕切り板を設けた構成、上記の底面部の前辺と、その前辺両端部から上記の各側面部に至るまでの間にリブを設け、上記の前面カバー部材を該リブの内側に嵌合した構成をとることができる。
【0010】
なお、上記の箸立て本体をプラスチック製、上記の前面カバー部材をステンレス鋼製とすることができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。図1及び図2に示すように、実施形態の箸立ては、プラスチック製の箸立て本体1とステンレス鋼製の前面カバー部材2との組合わせにより構成される。
【0012】
箸立て本体1は、長方形の底面部3、背面部4、両側面部5、5及び仕切り板6を一体成形したものである。上記の両側面部5、5は、背面部4の両側辺から前方に向けて連続して形成される。各側面部5の前後方向の幅は、底面部3の前後方向の幅の約半分である。
【0013】
底面部3の前辺と、その前辺の両端部から前記の側面部5に至るまでの間にリブ7が設けられる。前記の仕切り板6は、底面部3の中央部において背面部4からリブ7の近傍まで前後方向に設けられる。仕切り板6の高さは背面部4の高さの半分強に形成される。また、仕切り板6の後端部は、図2に示すように、その上半部が背面部4に一体化されているが、下半部と背面部4との間にはスリット10が設けられる。
【0014】
なお、上記の仕切り板6は、左右いずれかの側面部5に片寄った位置に設けられることがある。
【0015】
上記の各側面部5の内面に係合爪8が設けられ、さらに背面部4の背面にフック9が設けられる。また、前記の仕切り板6の前方において前記のリブ7に内側に屈曲された係合爪11が設けられる。
【0016】
なお、各側面部5の前後方向の幅は、上記の係合爪8を設けることが可能な範囲で小さく形成することができる。
【0017】
一方、前記の前面カバー部材2は、全体としてコの字形に屈曲され、前面カバー部12とその両側辺を内側に屈曲させて側面カバー部13、13を設けたものである。側面カバー部13の前後方向の幅は、前記の底面部3の前後方向の幅よりも小さく形成され、側面部5に部分的に重なる幅に設定される。前記の係合爪8はその重なり幅の範囲内に設けられる。そして、側面カバー部13にもその係合爪8に係合する係合穴14が設けられる。また、前面カバー部12の下端部中央部にも係合穴15が設けられる。
【0018】
上記の前面カバー部材2は、その下端縁をリブ7の内側に嵌めると共に、側面カバー部13、13を側面部5、5の内面に沿わせる。そして、各係合穴14、15をそれぞれ係合爪8、11に係合させる(図1の一点鎖線矢印を参照)。これにより箸立て本体1と前面カバー部材2が組み合わされ、有底四角筒状の箸立てが形成される。
【0019】
なお、箸立て本体1及び前面カバー部材2には通気性の確保と軽量化のために多数の穴16が設けられ、籠状に形成される。
【0020】
以上述べた箸立ては、組み立てた状態で使用に供され、例えば食器乾燥器の内部にフック9を掛けてセットされる。籠状の多数の穴16及びスリット10は温風を通過させ、内部に入れた箸やスプーン等の乾燥を促進させる。
【0021】
手入れを行う場合は、前面カバー部材2を箸立て本体1から取り外し、箸立て本体1の前面を開放させる。図1から明らかなように、箸立て本体1の両側面部5、5の奥行きが、底面部3の奥行きのほぼ半分又はそれ以下の深さであるので、仕切り板6があっても内部の隅々まで掃除することが可能である。
【0022】
なお、仕切り板6の背面側のスリット10は、洗浄水の通過を可能にするので、仕切り板6の奥所の隅部を清潔に保つことができる。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、この発明の箸立ては、手入れの際に前面カバー部材を外すと箸立て本体の前面が開放されるだけでなく、該箸立て本体の両側面部の前半部も開放されるので、箸立て本体の内部の隅々まで容易に手入れを行うことができる。このため、食器乾燥器等に用いられる小サイズの箸立てにおいて、手入れ性の良好な製品を提供することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a chopstick stand, and more particularly to a chopstick stand that can be easily cleaned.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As is well known, a chopstick stand has a bottomed cylindrical shape or a bottomed rectangular tube shape, and is used by placing it inside a cupboard or on a table. It is also used when putting small items such as chopsticks in a dish dryer or dishwasher.
[0003]
When cleaning the inside of a chopstick stand, it is common to insert a hand inside and wash the inner bottom and corners, but the chopstick case set in a tableware dryer is relatively small. Since it is formed in a size, it may be difficult to reach the fingertip, and care may be insufficient.
[0004]
For this reason, there has been proposed a chopstick rest that can be opened and closed by separating one of the four side surfaces and hinge-connecting it (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-91557).
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Even if one side of the chopstick stand can be opened and closed as described above, the remaining three sides remain three-dimensional, so the fingertips etc. are easy to hit them, especially when there is a partition plate. It was difficult to reach and there were cases where it could not be maintained sufficiently.
[0006]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a chopstick rest that is configured by a combination of two members and that each member is formed with a shallow depth so that it can be easily maintained.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a chopstick rest comprising a bottom portion, a back portion, and both side portions, and a front cover member, and the chopstick stand comprising the front cover member and continuous to both sides of the back portion. The width in the front-rear direction of each side surface portion is formed smaller than the width in the front-rear direction of the bottom surface portion, and side cover portions that overlap the side surface portions are provided on both sides of the front cover member.
[0008]
According to the above configuration, since the depth depth of the side surface portion of the chopstick stand body is smaller than the depth of the bottom surface portion, the chopstick stand body can be easily maintained with the front cover member removed.
[0009]
A structure in which the both side cover portions are overlapped on the inside of each side surface portion, and each side cover portion and the side surface portion are detachably engaged with each other at the overlapping portion, and a partition plate is provided on the bottom surface portion. Configuration: A rib is provided between the front side of the bottom surface part and both side parts of the front side to the side surface parts, and the front cover member is fitted inside the rib. Can do.
[0010]
The chopstick stand body can be made of plastic, and the front cover member can be made of stainless steel.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the chopstick stand of the embodiment is configured by a combination of a plastic chopstick stand main body 1 and a stainless steel front cover member 2.
[0012]
The chopstick stand main body 1 is formed by integrally forming a rectangular bottom surface portion 3, a back surface portion 4, both side surface portions 5, 5 and a partition plate 6. Said both side surface parts 5 and 5 are continuously formed toward the front from the both sides of the back surface part 4. The width of each side surface portion 5 in the front-rear direction is about half of the width of the bottom surface portion 3 in the front-rear direction.
[0013]
Ribs 7 are provided between the front side of the bottom surface portion 3 and both end portions of the front side to the side surface portion 5. The partition plate 6 is provided in the front-rear direction from the back surface portion 4 to the vicinity of the rib 7 in the central portion of the bottom surface portion 3. The height of the partition plate 6 is slightly more than half the height of the back surface portion 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the rear half of the partition plate 6 is integrated with the back part 4, but a slit 10 is provided between the lower half and the back part 4. It is done.
[0014]
Note that the partition plate 6 may be provided at a position offset from the left or right side surface portion 5.
[0015]
An engaging claw 8 is provided on the inner surface of each of the side surface parts 5, and a hook 9 is provided on the back surface of the back surface part 4. Further, an engagement claw 11 bent inwardly on the rib 7 is provided in front of the partition plate 6.
[0016]
In addition, the width | variety of the front-back direction of each side part 5 can be formed small in the range which can provide said engaging claw 8. FIG.
[0017]
On the other hand, the front cover member 2 is bent in a U-shape as a whole, and is provided with side cover portions 13 and 13 by bending the front cover portion 12 and its both sides to the inside. The width of the side cover 13 in the front-rear direction is set smaller than the width of the bottom surface 3 in the front-rear direction and partially overlaps the side part 5. The engaging claws 8 are provided within the overlapping width. The side cover portion 13 is also provided with an engagement hole 14 that engages with the engagement claw 8. An engagement hole 15 is also provided at the center of the lower end portion of the front cover portion 12.
[0018]
The front cover member 2 has a lower edge fitted inside the rib 7 and the side cover parts 13 and 13 are arranged along the inner surfaces of the side parts 5 and 5. Then, the engagement holes 14 and 15 are engaged with the engagement claws 8 and 11, respectively (see the dashed line arrow in FIG. 1). As a result, the chopstick rest main body 1 and the front cover member 2 are combined to form a bottomed square cylindrical chopstick rest.
[0019]
The chopstick rest main body 1 and the front cover member 2 are provided with a number of holes 16 in order to ensure air permeability and reduce weight, and are formed in a bowl shape.
[0020]
The chopstick stand described above is used in an assembled state, and is set by hooking the hook 9 inside the tableware drier, for example. A large number of bowl-shaped holes 16 and slits 10 allow warm air to pass therethrough and promote drying of chopsticks, spoons and the like placed inside.
[0021]
When performing maintenance, the front cover member 2 is removed from the chopstick rest main body 1 and the front surface of the chopstick rest main body 1 is opened. As is clear from FIG. 1, the depths of the side surface parts 5 and 5 of the chopstick rest main body 1 are substantially half or less than the depth of the bottom surface part 3, so It is possible to clean up.
[0022]
In addition, since the slit 10 on the back side of the partition plate 6 allows passage of washing water, the corners at the back of the partition plate 6 can be kept clean.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the chopstick stand of the present invention not only opens the front surface of the chopstick stand main body when the front cover member is removed during cleaning, but also opens the first half of both side portions of the chopstick stand main body. In addition, it is possible to easily clean every corner of the chopstick stand body. For this reason, in a small chopstick stand used for a tableware drier or the like, a product with good care can be provided.
