以下、本発明に係る風船支持具及び食品装飾具を具現化した一実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment that embodies a balloon support and a food accessory according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本実施の形態に係る風船支持具１０は、図３に示すように、風船１１を取り付けた状態でケーキ３１に差し込み、食品装飾具３０として使用することが可能となっている。以下、そのための構成について詳細に説明する。なお、風船１１は、ゴム風船であってもよいし、フィルム風船であってもよく、その種類や材料は特に限定されるものではない。 As shown in FIG. 3, the balloon support 10 according to the present embodiment can be used as the food accessory 30 by inserting it into the cake 31 with the balloon 11 attached. The configuration for that purpose will be described in detail below. The balloon 11 may be a rubber balloon or a film balloon, and its type and material are not particularly limited.

図１に示すように、風船支持具１０は、風船１１の下端部を受けることが可能な風船受け部１２と、風船受け部１２の下端から下方へ延びる軸部１３とを備えている。風船受け部１２及び軸部１３は一体に形成され、例えば合成樹脂によって形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the balloon support 10 includes a balloon receiving portion 12 capable of receiving the lower end portion of the balloon 11, and a shaft portion 13 extending downward from the lower end of the balloon receiving portion 12. The balloon receiving portion 12 and the shaft portion 13 are integrally formed, for example, made of synthetic resin.

風船受け部１２は上方へ広がる逆円錐状をなしており、その上端部には開口部２１が形成されている。風船受け部１２の側周面２２には、風船受け部１２の上端から下端に向けて延びる一対のスリット２３，２４が形成されている。これらスリット２３，２４は対向配置され、両スリット２３，２４の間には、風船受け部１２を内外に貫通する貫通孔２５が形成されている。 The balloon receiving portion 12 has an inverted conical shape that spreads upward, and an opening portion 21 is formed at the upper end portion thereof. A pair of slits 23 and 24 extending from the upper end to the lower end of the balloon receiving portion 12 are formed on the side peripheral surface 22 of the balloon receiving portion 12. These slits 23 and 24 are arranged so as to face each other, and a through hole 25 that penetrates the balloon receiving portion 12 in and out is formed between the slits 23 and 24.

上記スリット２３，２４及び貫通孔２５は、風船受け部１２の内側に受けられた風船１１の下端部の一部（風船１１の首部）を風船受け部１２の外側に導出するためのものであり、風船１１を風船支持具１０に固定する際に用いられる。なお、スリット２３，２４及び貫通孔２５は、風船１１の一部を風船受け部１２の外側に引き出す貫通部の一例に過ぎず、例えば、スリット２３，２４のみを備えたり、貫通孔２５のみを備えたりするなど他の構成であってもよい。 The slits 23, 24 and the through hole 25 are for leading out a part of the lower end portion of the balloon 11 received inside the balloon receiving portion 12 (the neck portion of the balloon 11) to the outside of the balloon receiving portion 12. It is used when fixing the balloon 11 to the balloon support 10. The slits 23 and 24 and the through hole 25 are merely examples of the through portion that pulls out a part of the balloon 11 to the outside of the balloon receiving portion 12. For example, only the slits 23 and 24 are provided or only the through hole 25 is provided. Other configurations, such as provision, may be used.

軸部１３は、全体として略丸棒状をなしており、中実状に形成されている（図２参照）。軸部１３の軸方向における途中位置には、軸部１３の外周側に突出するフランジ部２７が形成されている。フランジ部２７は、円板状をなしており、軸部１３の軸方向と直交する方向に張り出している。フランジ部２７の下面２７ａは平坦面となっている。 The shaft portion 13 has a substantially round bar shape as a whole, and is formed in a solid shape (see FIG. 2 ). A flange portion 27 projecting to the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion 13 is formed at an intermediate position in the axial direction of the shaft portion 13. The flange portion 27 has a disc shape and projects in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the shaft portion 13. The lower surface 27a of the flange portion 27 is a flat surface.

フランジ部２７と風船受け部１２との間には第１軸部２８が配置され、フランジ部２７の下方には第２軸部２９が配置されている。両軸部２８，２９はいずれも円柱状をなしており、第１軸部２８の外径は、フランジ部２７の外径よりも小さく、かつ第２軸部２９の外径よりも大きくなっている。 A first shaft portion 28 is arranged between the flange portion 27 and the balloon receiving portion 12, and a second shaft portion 29 is arranged below the flange portion 27. Both the shaft portions 28 and 29 have a cylindrical shape, and the outer diameter of the first shaft portion 28 is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange portion 27 and larger than the outer diameter of the second shaft portion 29. There is.

また、第１軸部２８の長さは、第２軸部２９の長さよりも短くなっている。このため、フランジ部２７の位置は、軸部１３において風船受け部１２側に寄っており、具体的には、軸部１３の上部において、風船受け部１２の下端から第１軸部２８の長さ分だけ下方に離れた位置となっている。 Further, the length of the first shaft portion 28 is shorter than the length of the second shaft portion 29. Therefore, the position of the flange portion 27 is closer to the balloon receiving portion 12 side in the shaft portion 13, and specifically, in the upper portion of the shaft portion 13, from the lower end of the balloon receiving portion 12 to the length of the first shaft portion 28. It is located at a position separated by a certain amount downward.

ちなみに、第１軸部２８は、スリット２３，２４等から風船受け部１２の外側に引き出した風船１１の一部を縛る領域として利用できる。これにより、風船支持具１０に対する風船１１の取り付けを安定させることが可能になる。 Incidentally, the first shaft portion 28 can be used as a region for binding a part of the balloon 11 pulled out from the slits 23, 24 and the like to the outside of the balloon receiving portion 12. This makes it possible to stabilize the attachment of the balloon 11 to the balloon support 10.

第２軸部２９は、全体として下方に向かうほど細くなる先細り形状を有している。さらに、その先端部（下端部）２９ａにおいても、下方に凸となる半球状とされ、先細り形状となっている。このため、風船支持具１０をケーキ３１に突き刺す際、第２軸部２９がケーキ３１内に入り込みやすくなっている。 The second shaft portion 29 has a tapered shape that becomes thinner as it goes downward. Further, the tip portion (lower end portion) 29a also has a hemispherical shape that is convex downward and has a tapered shape. Therefore, when the balloon support 10 is pierced into the cake 31, the second shaft portion 29 easily enters the cake 31.

軸部１３において、フランジ部２７及び軸部２８，２９の各中心軸線は一致しており、これらの部位２７〜２９は同心状に配置されている。 In the shaft portion 13, the central axis lines of the flange portion 27 and the shaft portions 28 and 29 coincide with each other, and these portions 27 to 29 are arranged concentrically.

風船支持具１０を食品装飾具３０として使用するにあたっては、図３に示すように、風船１１が取り付けられた状態の風船支持具１０をケーキ３１に突き刺し、風船１１をケーキ３１の上方に位置させる。その結果、風船１１がデコレーションの役割を果たし、ケーキ３１が装飾される。 When using the balloon support 10 as the food accessory 30, as shown in FIG. 3, the balloon support 10 with the balloon 11 attached is pierced into the cake 31 and the balloon 11 is positioned above the cake 31. .. As a result, the balloon 11 plays a role of decoration, and the cake 31 is decorated.

風船支持具１０を突き刺す場合、フランジ部２７の下面２７ａがケーキ３１の上面に当接することで、フランジ部２７がストッパとして機能し、風船支持具１０の差し込み量が規制される。これにより、風船受け部１２や風船１１がケーキ３１と接触する可能性が低減され、衛生上好ましい構成とすることができる。 When the balloon support tool 10 is pierced, the lower surface 27a of the flange part 27 comes into contact with the upper surface of the cake 31, so that the flange part 27 functions as a stopper and the insertion amount of the balloon support tool 10 is restricted. This reduces the possibility that the balloon receiving portion 12 and the balloon 11 will contact the cake 31, and a hygienic preferable structure can be obtained.

フランジ部２７をストッパとして機能させる上では、フランジ部２７の外径Ｄ１（図２参照）を、第２軸部２９の外径（第２軸部２９におけるフランジ部２７との接続部２９ｂの外径）Ｄ２の２倍以上とすることが好ましく、２．５倍以上とすることがさらに好ましい。但し、外径Ｄ１を大きくし過ぎると、フランジ部２７とケーキ３１との接触面積が過大となり、ケーキ上面のクリーム装飾が乱れやすくなる。この点を考慮すると、外径Ｄ１は外径Ｄ２の２倍以上でかつ４倍以下とすることが好ましく、２．５以上でかつ３．５倍以下とすることがさらに好ましい。 In order for the flange portion 27 to function as a stopper, the outer diameter D1 of the flange portion 27 (see FIG. 2) is set to the outer diameter of the second shaft portion 29 (outside the connecting portion 29b of the second shaft portion 29 with the flange portion 27). The diameter D2 is preferably twice or more, more preferably 2.5 times or more. However, if the outer diameter D1 is too large, the contact area between the flange portion 27 and the cake 31 becomes excessively large, and the cream decoration on the upper surface of the cake tends to be disturbed. Considering this point, the outer diameter D1 is preferably 2 times or more and 4 times or less of the outer diameter D2, and more preferably 2.5 or more and 3.5 times or less.

なお、本実施の形態では、食品装飾具３０（風船支持具１０）をケーキ３１に突き刺す構成としているが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば果物等のケーキ３１以外の食品に突き刺す構成としてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the food decorating tool 30 (balloon support tool 10) is pierced into the cake 31, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be pierced into a food other than the cake 31 such as fruit. Good.

また、本実施の形態に係る風船支持具１０は、図２に示すように、第２軸部２９をスティック３２に取り付けて手持ち風船としても使用可能となっている。スティック３２は、第２軸部２９よりも長く、人間の手で持つことができるように長尺状に延びている。さらに、スティック３２は、少なくとも上端が開口する筒形状に形成されている。スティック３２の内径Ｄ３は、第２軸部２９の先端部２９ａの外径Ｄ４よりも大きく、第２軸部２９の基端部（接続部２９ｂ）又は軸方向の途中部の外径と略同寸となっている。これにより、スティック３２の内側に風船支持具１０を着脱自在となっている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the balloon support 10 according to the present embodiment can be used as a hand-held balloon by attaching the second shaft portion 29 to the stick 32. The stick 32 is longer than the second shaft portion 29 and extends in a long shape so that it can be held by a human hand. Furthermore, the stick 32 is formed in a tubular shape having at least an upper end opened. The inner diameter D3 of the stick 32 is larger than the outer diameter D4 of the tip end portion 29a of the second shaft portion 29, and is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the base end portion (connection portion 29b) of the second shaft portion 29 or the middle portion in the axial direction. It is a size. As a result, the balloon support tool 10 can be detachably attached to the inside of the stick 32.

このように、スティック３２を外せば食品装飾の用途で使用可能となり、スティック３２を取り付ければカップスティックとしての使用が可能となるため、食品装飾具３０と手持ち風船とを共通部品で形成することができる。 As described above, when the stick 32 is removed, the stick can be used for food decoration, and when the stick 32 is attached, the stick can be used as a cup stick. Therefore, the food decoration tool 30 and the hand-held balloon can be formed as a common component. it can.

以上、詳述した本実施の形態によれば、以下の優れた効果を奏する。 As described above, according to this embodiment described in detail, the following excellent effects are achieved.

・風船支持具１０において食品に突き刺すことが可能な軸部１３を設けるとともに、軸部１３に突出部としてのフランジ部２７を設けた。この場合、風船支持具１０を食品に突き刺せば、風船１１によって食品をデコレーションすることができ、食品の装飾性を高めることが可能になる。さらに、フランジ部２７によって風船支持具１０の差込限界を規定できるため、風船１１が食品に接することが抑制され、衛生面に配慮しながら装飾具としての使用が可能となる。 -The balloon support 10 is provided with the shaft portion 13 capable of piercing food, and the shaft portion 13 is provided with the flange portion 27 as a protruding portion. In this case, when the balloon support 10 is pierced into the food, the balloon 11 can decorate the food, and the decorativeness of the food can be enhanced. Furthermore, since the insertion limit of the balloon support tool 10 can be defined by the flange portion 27, the balloon 11 is prevented from coming into contact with food, and it can be used as an accessory while considering hygiene.

・フランジ部２７を風船受け部１２の下端から下方へ離して配置する構成とした。この場合、第１軸部２８で風船１１を縛るなどしても、風船１１とケーキ３１とがフランジ部２７を境界として離間される。これにより、風船支持具１０が多少傾くなどしても、食品に対する風船１１の接触が好適に抑制される。 The flange portion 27 is arranged so as to be spaced downward from the lower end of the balloon receiving portion 12. In this case, even if the balloon 11 is bound by the first shaft portion 28, the balloon 11 and the cake 31 are separated from each other with the flange portion 27 as a boundary. As a result, even if the balloon support 10 is slightly tilted, the contact of the balloon 11 with the food is appropriately suppressed.

・風船受け部１２とフランジ部２７との間に、フランジ部２７よりも小径の第１軸部２８を配置した。これにより、食品に対する風船１１の接触が一層好適に抑制される。例えば、図３（ｂ）に示すように、風船受け部１２の下端から軸部１３の軸方向の途中位置までの全体を拡径した場合、風船下端の口部１１ａが拡径部３４の外周よりも外側に飛び出た状態となる。この場合、風船支持具１０が傾くと風船１１が食品に接し、両者の接触が生じやすくなる。これに対し、本実施の形態であれば、図３（ｃ）に示すように、口部１１ａをフランジ部２７の上方空間に収めることができる他、口部１１ａが垂れ下がってもフランジ部２７の上面で受けることができる。これにより、風船１１と食品とが好適に隔離される。 A first shaft portion 28 having a smaller diameter than the flange portion 27 is arranged between the balloon receiving portion 12 and the flange portion 27. As a result, the contact of the balloon 11 with the food is suppressed more preferably. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the entire diameter from the lower end of the balloon receiving portion 12 to the intermediate position in the axial direction of the shaft portion 13 is expanded, the mouth portion 11 a at the lower end of the balloon is the outer circumference of the expanded diameter portion 34. It will be in a state of popping out to the outside. In this case, when the balloon support 10 is tilted, the balloon 11 comes into contact with the food product, and the contact between the two easily occurs. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3C, the mouth portion 11a can be housed in the space above the flange portion 27, and even if the mouth portion 11a hangs down, Can be received on the top. Thereby, the balloon 11 and the food are preferably separated.

図３（ａ）〜（ｃ）に示す例では、風船１１の口部１１ａが風船受け部１２の外側に露出しているが、これをスリット２３，２４（図１参照）に通すなどして風船受け部１２の内側に収容することもできる（但し、第１軸部２８に巻かれた風船１１の巻き部１１ｂは露出する）。このような使用形態においても、フランジ部２７及び第１軸部２８を備える本実施の形態では次のような利点がある。 In the example shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the mouth portion 11a of the balloon 11 is exposed to the outside of the balloon receiving portion 12, but this is passed through the slits 23 and 24 (see FIG. 1). It can also be housed inside the balloon receiving portion 12 (however, the winding portion 11b of the balloon 11 wound around the first shaft portion 28 is exposed). Even in such a usage mode, the present embodiment including the flange portion 27 and the first shaft portion 28 has the following advantages.

風船支持具１０を食品に突き刺す際、力の入れ具合や食品の柔らかさによっては、風船支持具１０が深く突き刺さり、拡径部３４又はフランジ部２７が食品内に入り込むことがあり得る。この場合、拡径部３４とした構成では、拡径部３４に巻かれた風船１１の巻き部１１ｂが食品と接触するおそれがある。これに対し、本実施の形態によれば、図３（ｄ）に示すように、第１軸部２８の外径がフランジ部２７のそれよりも小さい分、フランジ部２７の上方において食品との間に空間部３５が形成される。これにより、第１軸部２８に巻かれた巻き部１１ｂが食品と接触することを抑制できる。なお、図３（ｄ）では食品内部の様子を分かりやすくするため、食品（ケーキ３１）を断面で図示している。 When the balloon support tool 10 is pierced into food, the balloon support tool 10 may be pierced deeply depending on the force applied and the softness of the food, and the expanded diameter portion 34 or the flange portion 27 may enter the food product. In this case, in the configuration having the expanded diameter portion 34, the wound portion 11b of the balloon 11 wound around the expanded diameter portion 34 may come into contact with food. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3( d ), the outer diameter of the first shaft portion 28 is smaller than that of the flange portion 27, so that the food is provided above the flange portion 27. A space 35 is formed between them. As a result, it is possible to prevent the winding portion 11b wound around the first shaft portion 28 from coming into contact with food. In addition, in FIG. 3D, the food (cake 31) is illustrated in a cross-section in order to facilitate understanding of the inside of the food.

このように、本実施の形態によれば、風船１１の口部１１ａが風船受け部１２の外側に位置する場合と内側に位置する場合とのいずれであっても、衛生上好ましい態様で使用することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, whether the mouth 11a of the balloon 11 is located outside or inside the balloon receiver 12 is used in a hygienic preferable mode. be able to.

・第１軸部２８と第２軸部２９との外径（太さ）に差異を設け、第２軸部２９は細く、第１軸部２８は太くなる構成とした。第２軸部２９が細くなっていることで、風船支持具１０を食品に差し込みやすくなると同時に、食品に形成される差し込み孔を小さく抑えることができる。一方、第１軸部２８が太くなっていることで、風船１１の支持が安定する他、風船１１を縛る上で第１軸部２８の強度確保に有利となる。 The outer diameter (thickness) of the first shaft portion 28 and the second shaft portion 29 is different, and the second shaft portion 29 is thin and the first shaft portion 28 is thick. Since the second shaft portion 29 is thin, the balloon support tool 10 can be easily inserted into food, and at the same time, the insertion hole formed in the food can be kept small. On the other hand, the thick first shaft portion 28 stabilizes the support of the balloon 11, and is advantageous in securing the strength of the first shaft portion 28 when the balloon 11 is bound.

・第２軸部２９を先細りとなる形状に形成した。これにより、ケーキ３１への差しやすさと、スティック３２への差しやすさ及び抜けにくさとを両立させることができる。なお、必ずしも第２軸部２９の全体を先細り形状とする必要はなく、少なくとも第２軸部２９の下端が先細り形状であれば足りる。 -The second shaft portion 29 is formed in a tapered shape. This makes it easy to insert the cake 31 and the stick 32, and to prevent the stick 32 from coming off easily. It is not always necessary that the entire second shaft portion 29 has a tapered shape, and it is sufficient if at least the lower end of the second shaft portion 29 has a tapered shape.

・軸部１３を中実状に形成したため、第２軸部２９を食品に突き刺した際に、食品が風船支持具１０（軸部１３）の内側に入り込むことを抑制できる。これにより、風船支持具１０に付着した食品を簡単に洗い流すことができ、風船支持具１０を再利用する場合に衛生的となる。 Since the shaft portion 13 is formed in a solid shape, it is possible to prevent the food product from entering the inside of the balloon support tool 10 (the shaft portion 13) when the second shaft portion 29 is pierced into the food product. As a result, the food adhered to the balloon support 10 can be easily washed away, which is hygienic when the balloon support 10 is reused.

＜その他の実施の形態＞
（１）上記実施の形態では、突出部として円板形状のフランジ部２７を設けたが、軸部１３の外周側に向けて放射状に延びる複数の棒状部を設けたり、それら棒状部の外周端をリング部によって環状に繋げた構成としたりするなど、突出部に孔部が形成された構成としてもよい。但し、このような突出部の場合、孔部（例えば、棒状部同士の隙間）から食品がはみ出て風船１１と接触するおそれがある。この点、円板形状のフランジ部２７の場合は、その外周側からしか食品と風船１１とが接触しないため、両者の接触を好適に抑制できる。 <Other Embodiments>
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the disk-shaped flange portion 27 is provided as the protruding portion, but a plurality of rod-shaped portions radially extending toward the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion 13 are provided or the outer peripheral ends of these rod-shaped portions are provided. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a hole is formed in the projecting portion, such as a configuration in which a ring is connected by a ring portion. However, in the case of such a protruding portion, there is a possibility that the food may protrude from the hole (for example, the gap between the rod-shaped portions) and contact the balloon 11. In this respect, in the case of the disc-shaped flange portion 27, the food and the balloon 11 come into contact with each other only from the outer peripheral side thereof, so that the contact between the both can be suitably suppressed.

（２）上記実施の形態において、フランジ部２７の上面に、上方へ延びるとともに、平面視で第１軸部２８を環状に囲む筒状部を設けてもよい。かかる構成によれば、風船１１の口部１１ａが風船受け部１２の外側に露出する場合、これを筒状部によって囲むことができ、風船１１と食品とをより好適に隔離することができる。また、風船１１の口部１１ａが風船受け部１２の内側に収容される場合でも、風船支持具１０が食品に深く突き刺さった際に（図３（ｄ）参照）、食品がフランジ部２７の上方に及ぶことを筒状部によって規制できる。これにより、空間部３５が良好に形成され、食品と巻き部１１ｂとの接触が回避される。 (2) In the above-described embodiment, a cylindrical portion that extends upward and surrounds the first shaft portion 28 in an annular shape in a plan view may be provided on the upper surface of the flange portion 27. With this configuration, when the mouth portion 11a of the balloon 11 is exposed to the outside of the balloon receiving portion 12, it can be surrounded by the tubular portion, and the balloon 11 and the food can be more preferably separated. Even when the mouth portion 11a of the balloon 11 is housed inside the balloon receiving portion 12, when the balloon support 10 pierces the food product deeply (see FIG. 3D), the food product is above the flange portion 27. It is possible to regulate the extension to the tubular portion. Thereby, the space portion 35 is favorably formed, and contact between the food and the winding portion 11b is avoided.

上記構成において、筒状部の周壁部は、フランジ上面に対して直交させてもよいし、逆円錐状に上方へ広がる傾斜面としてもよい。後者の構成であれば、筒状部上端の開口面積がフランジ上面の表面積よりも大きくなるため、風船１１の口部１１ａが筒状部の内側に収まりやすくなる。 In the above structure, the peripheral wall portion of the tubular portion may be orthogonal to the upper surface of the flange, or may be an inclined surface that spreads upward in an inverted conical shape. With the latter configuration, the opening area at the upper end of the tubular portion is larger than the surface area of the upper surface of the flange, so that the mouth portion 11a of the balloon 11 is likely to fit inside the tubular portion.

（３）上記実施の形態において、フランジ部２７の下面２７ａに下方へ突出する突出部を設けてもよい。風船支持具１０を食品に突き刺した際に、フランジ下面の突出部が食品に入り込み、突き刺し後の風船１１又は風船支持具１０の支持を安定させることができる。かかる構成において、上記突出部をフランジ部２７の外周縁部に沿って設け、筒状部としてもよい。これにより、突き刺し後の支持をさらに安定させることが可能になる。 (3) In the above embodiment, the lower surface 27a of the flange portion 27 may be provided with a protrusion protruding downward. When the balloon support tool 10 is pierced into a food product, the protrusion of the lower surface of the flange enters the food product, and the balloon 11 or the balloon support tool 10 can be stably supported after being pierced. In such a configuration, the protruding portion may be provided along the outer peripheral edge portion of the flange portion 27 to form a tubular portion. This makes it possible to further stabilize the support after piercing.

（４）上記実施の形態では、軸部１３を中実状としたが、少なくともフランジ部２７より下部が中実状であれば足りる。ちなみに、本発明において「突出部より下部が中実に形成されている」とは、必ずしも第２軸部２９内に空間が存在しないことを意味するものではなく、軸部が筒状のもの（軸部において軸方向に延びる内部空間を有しており、その内部空間が軸部の下端やその他の箇所で開口しているもの）を除外する趣旨である。すなわち、軸部が筒状であると、開口から入り込んだ食品が内部空間の奥まで進入し、軸部を洗浄しても食品が残存しやすくなって再利用時に不衛生となるが、本発明に係る中実の軸部は、そのような不都合の発生が抑制されたものであれば足りる。よって、第２軸部２９内に空間が存在しても、その空間に入り込んだ食品を簡単に除去できる場合は、その第２軸部２９は中実であると解することができる。例えば、第２軸部２９の径方向に貫通孔が形成された構成等は、本発明に含まれる。 (4) In the above embodiment, the shaft portion 13 is solid, but it is sufficient if at least the lower portion of the flange portion 27 is solid. By the way, in the present invention, “the lower part is formed to be solid than the protruding part” does not necessarily mean that there is no space in the second shaft part 29, and the shaft part is cylindrical (shaft Part has an internal space extending in the axial direction, and the internal space is open to the lower end of the shaft part and other places). That is, if the shaft portion is tubular, the food that has entered through the opening enters the interior space to the depth of the inner space, and even if the shaft portion is washed, the food tends to remain and it becomes unsanitary when reused. The solid shaft portion according to the above is sufficient if the occurrence of such inconvenience is suppressed. Therefore, even if there is a space in the second shaft portion 29, if the food that has entered the space can be easily removed, it can be understood that the second shaft portion 29 is solid. For example, a configuration in which a through hole is formed in the radial direction of the second shaft portion 29 is included in the present invention.

（５）上記実施の形態では、軸部１３を円形断面としたが、例えば、角柱状のように矩形断面としてもよい。 (5) In the above embodiment, the shaft portion 13 has a circular cross section, but may have a rectangular cross section such as a prismatic shape.
