Description

The utility model relates to kitchen equipment and is used to store lids for jars.

A prefabricated rack for sterilization of cans for lids (US4505393, publ. 19.03.1985) is known from the prior art, which is an easily assembled sterilization rack for holding conventional disc-shaped lids used for canning cans. The body of the rack is made of sheet metal in the form of an inverted groove, has a plurality of slots that are parallel to the axis of the groove for holding the covers in a vertical position and at a distance from each other.

The disadvantage of this solution, given as an analogue, is an unstable collapsible body, slots for placing the covers at a distance from each other. The described features do not allow for the ergonomic storage of the covers: compact, stable, hygienic without dust access to the surface of the covers, without the possibility of rust spreading to the covers from the surface of the rack.

As a prototype, a rack was chosen for storing wooden coasters for cups (https://www.avito.ru/moskva/posuda_i_tovary_dlya_kuhni/derevyannye_podstavki_dlya_chashechek_kofe_chay_1864223945#extended, published for 20.04.2021) ease of removing the stands from the rack.

The disadvantages of this solution are, firstly, the implementation in a solid body, which impedes ventilation and access to fresh air, which can lead to the formation of fungus and mold on the surface of the covers. Secondly, the height of the stand is such that it can accommodate a small number of stands (maximum five). Thus, the use of this solution for storing can lids will not provide ergonomics: compact hygienic storage of more than five can lids in one storage, without the possibility of spreading pathogens (such as fungus and mold) on the surface of the lids in a solid body.

The technical problem to be solved by the claimed solution is to develop an ergonomic stand for the lids: compact, stable, lightweight, hygienic without dust access to the lid surface, without the possibility of rust spreading to the lids from the metal surfaces of the case, ventilated, without the possibility of spreading in a continuous a case of pathogens (such as fungus and mold) on the surface of the lids, with the ability to store additional kitchen appliances, with a recess that allows you to effectively remove the lids from the stand, as well as carry out their counting.

This problem is solved by the fact that the device is a straight circular cylinder made of short and long parallel vertical slats: short slats have a length of 30-60 mm and two connecting grooves - upper and lower; long slats are 100-200 mm long and have three connecting grooves - top, middle and bottom. All grooves are rectangular, 2-5 mm long and 3-5 mm wide. Both types of slats are 4-8 mm thick and 15-20 mm wide. The lower groove of the slats are fastened to the bottom, which has spikes along the perimeter, with a thorn-groove connection. The bottom has a diameter of 84-88 mm. The device has two hoops with spikes around the perimeter - closed and open, both have a thickness of 4-8 mm and a width that coincides with the length of the grooves, placed horizontally along the outer surface of the device. The width of the open area of the open hoop is equal to the width of the short strips grouped together. The hoops are fastened to the slats with a thorn-groove connection. On both hoops there are rings with an inner hole diameter of 10-20 mm, a thickness of 4-8 mm, placed one above the other. The distance between the top and bottom groove of the short strip and between the middle and bottom groove of the long strip is 20-44 mm, the distance between the top and bottom groove of the long strip is 90-177 mm.

The slats are loosely adjacent to each other, allowing free air access, thereby preventing the growth of pathogens (such as mold and mildew) that love dampness. The short strips are grouped together to form a recess in the stand body. The hoop rings are designed to be stored in a lid holder for a long handle device such as a magnetic gripper or a brush.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the claimed utility model is to improve ergonomics.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings.

Short strips 1 and long strips 2 are attached along the perimeter to the thorns of the bottom 9 using the “thorn-groove” connection 6 using the lower grooves 3.

With the help of the thorn-groove connection 6, the closed hoop 7 with the ring 10 is attached to the upper grooves 5 of the short strips 1 and to the middle grooves of the 4 long strips 2, and the open hoop 8 with the ring 10 is attached to the upper grooves 5 of the long strips.

The short strips 1 are grouped in such a way as to form a recess that allows the covers to be effectively removed from the stand and also counted.

The lid holder can be made of wood or other durable, lightweight hypoallergenic material. Thorn and groove joints can be glued for added strength.

An example of implementation.

Lid support, contains vertical parallel strips 15 mm wide and 4 mm thick. The short strips are 46 mm long and the long strips are 154 mm long. The slats are attached with the bottom grooves to the bottom with spikes along the perimeter. Bottom diameter - 88 mm. Two hoops, closed and open, 5 mm thick and 4 mm wide, are fastened with spikes into grooves from the outer side of the rails. The closed hoop is attached to the upper grooves of the short rails and to the middle grooves of the long rails, and the open hoop is attached to the upper grooves of the long rails. All grooves are 4 mm long and 3 mm wide. The short strips are grouped together to form a recess in the stand body.

After the end of the conservation season, the remaining unused lids are wiped dry and placed in a stand for storage. The top cover must lie with its inner surface facing down to prevent dust from getting onto the O-ring.

Using the principle of nesting dolls in the lid storage stand, you can compactly place up to 64 lids of different diameters.

The advantages of the obtained declared technical solution in comparison with the analogue and the prototype are as follows:

1. This design has high ergonomic characteristics: strong, lightweight, compact, roomy, cheap, hygienic, and can effectively remove stored jar lids.

2. The design of the stand allows you to place the covers without dust access to their inner surface.

3. The design allows for free air access, preventing the spread of pathogens (such as mold and mildew) on the inner surface of the stored jar lids.

4. Storing lids of the same size (stacking one lid on top of another).

5. Storage of lids of different sizes by inserting a lid of a smaller diameter into a lid of a larger diameter (matryoshka principle);

6. Placement and storage of a magnetic gripper, or a brush (or other kitchen utensils with an oblong handle) next to the lids (on the same stand).

Claims (2)

1. Stand for lids, characterized by the presence of short and long slats, fixed with grooves with a bottom, a closed and open hoop using a thorn-groove connection, characterized in that the slats are loosely adjacent to each other, while the short slats are grouped together and form there is a notch in the stand body. 2. Support for lids according to claim 1, characterized in that there are rings on the closed and open hoops.
