[0007]
The hook portion of the invention of the present application may be such that it hooks on the edge of tableware such as a dish, and may bend the end of a handle or attach a part to the end of the handle.
The planar shape of the hook portion is not particularly limited, but may be a cross-sectional shape of a pattern obtained by bending the pattern as it is, or may be a semicircular, elliptical, or polygonal part.
The hooking portion varies depending on the size of the sorting tool, but is preferably 5 to 30 mm, particularly preferably 10 to 15 mm.
The cross-sectional shape of the hook portion is not particularly limited, but the handle may be bent as it is, or may be a semicircle, an ellipse, or a polygon.
[0008]
When the hook portion is other than the end portion, it is preferably 10 to 50 mm from the end portion.
Further, the hook portion may be fixed, or may be movable in accordance with the size of the plate or the like.
[0009]
It is preferable that the rake portion has an uneven portion in a substantially semicircular straight portion.
It is preferable that the uneven portions are formed so that the rake portions mesh with each other.
[0010]
In the invention of this application, it is preferable that a hole is provided in the rake portion of the sorting device.
The holes may be of any shape, but are preferably circular, polygonal or linear.
In addition, it is preferable that a plurality of holes are provided. In the case of a circular or square shape, two or more holes are provided when the hole diameter is large, and five or more holes are provided when the hole diameter is small. preferable.
The diameter varies depending on the size of the rake portion, but is preferably 3 to 6 mm.
[0011]
In the case of a linear hole, the shape of the hole is preferably rectangular, oval, or long polygonal.
In the case of a linear hole, the width of the hole depends on the size of the rake portion, but is preferably 1 to 3 mm. The length of the hole varies depending on the size of the rake portion, but is preferably 3 to 30 mm.
When the holes are linear, it is preferable to provide 1 to 5 holes, and it is preferable to provide 2 to 4 holes.
[0012]
Metal, plastic, wood, porcelain and the like can be used as the material of the sorting device of the present invention, but metal, plastic and wood are particularly preferred.
[0013]
The sorting device may have one end fixed.
In addition, the embankment to which the end is fixed may have elasticity or may not have elasticity.
If there is elasticity, it can be used like tweezers by using the elasticity.
[0014]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a separating device having a hook portion at an end portion, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the separating device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a separating device having a hook portion at a portion away from the end portion. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the device, FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a separating device having an integrated end portion, and FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a separating device having an uneven portion formed to mesh with a rake portion. 6 and 7 are plan views of a separating tool having a hole in a rake portion, wherein 1 is a separating tool, 2 is a rake portion, 3 is a handle, 4 is a hook portion, 5 is a fixing portion, 6 Denotes an uneven portion, and 7 denotes a hole.
[0015]
Example 1
The overall length is 30 cm, the rake portion is 6 cm, the cross-sectional shape of the handle is a flat oblong with a major axis of 1 cm and a minor axis of 0.3 cm, and the hook portion has a length of 1 cm when the end is bent. Was prepared.
Utilizing the sorting device prepared in this manner, the dishes served on the large plate were separated into small plates, and after the portions were separated, the hooks were hooked on the ends of the plates to fix the separating device.
The separating device did not slip into the dish due to the hook portion, and was able to be kept horizontal because the cross-sectional shape of the hook portion was flat and oblong in the horizontal direction.
[0016]
Example 2
Wooden with a total length of 30 cm, a rake portion of 6 cm, a cross-sectional shape of a long side of 1 cm, a short side of 0.3 cm and a horizontally flat rectangle, and a hook portion of a rectangular cross-section shape and a length of 1 cm. Was prepared.
Utilizing the sorting device prepared in this manner, the dishes served on the large plate were separated into small plates, and after the portions were separated, the hooks were hooked on the ends of the plates to fix the separating device.
The separating device did not slide into the dish due to the hook portion, and could be kept horizontal because the cross-sectional shape of the hook portion was a flat rectangle in the horizontal direction.
[0017]
According to the sorting tool of the present invention, since the rake portion is paired, dishes in the tableware can be easily sorted, and a hook portion is provided on the handle of the sorting tool. It is possible to prevent the utensil from being immersed in the dish, so if you leave it on the dish at a party or the like, the utensil will not be stained by the dish, and the next person will be able to cook with confidence. Can be separated.
In addition, if uneven portions are provided at opposing portions of the rake portion, the rake portion can be sandwiched more reliably.
