Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a tempura guard for preventing oil such as tempura, fry and stir-fry from being scattered around a gas range of a general household.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various products have been sold as tempura guards as described above. A typical example is a structure in which aluminum foil is bent in a U-shape to stand around a range. However, this tempura guard made of aluminum foil is thin and has complicated irregularities to provide strength, so it is difficult to wash it cleanly when oil adheres and becomes dirty. Therefore, although tempura guards made of oily aluminum foil must be treated as dangerous materials, they are generally disposable. Will be taken. For this reason, this tempura guard is not preferred to improve the waste problem.

[0003] Furthermore, this tempura guard made of aluminum foil can be bent at several places so as to be able to cope with different width ranges, but the size of the range and the surrounding space vary depending on each household. As a result, it is often not possible to bend at a convenient location, and a gap may be created between the range and the range.

[0004] Further, when the bending position is changed according to the width of the range, there is also a problem that, in the case of a wide range of the width, the size of the range around the range becomes short. In addition, in the case of a gas range, there is a gas main valve behind the range, so there is a problem that the tempura guard hinders the opening and closing of the main valve. Another problem was that the tempura guard, which was made by simply bending aluminum foil into a U-shape, was lightweight and inferior in stability, and could fall down or move when slightly touched.

Therefore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3028109, three stainless steel flat plates are connected in a U-shape using an engagement portion provided at an end portion, and are connected around the range. A tempura guard that can be set up has also been proposed. This is superior to the above aluminum foil in that it can be disassembled and washed. However, if the width of the range is different, it cannot be used, and it is difficult to operate the gas tap. Further, since a bending process for providing an engaging portion at the end of the stainless steel plate is required, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention solves the conventional problems described above, and can easily be cleaned when it becomes dirty, does not cause a dust problem, and can correspond to a range of various sizes. This was done to provide a tempura guard that does not hinder the operation of the gas main valve, has excellent stability and independence, has a small number of parts, and is inexpensive to manufacture.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The tempura guard of the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problem is composed of a set of four stainless steel flat plates, and the first and fourth flat plates are formed with a vertical slit from the upper end or lower end near the end. The second and third flat plates are formed such that the lower half of one side is notched and a vertical slit is formed to engage with the slit from the upper end or lower end near the opposite end. The first and second flat plates and the third and fourth flat plates are crossed, and the slits of each flat plate are combined with each other to form a structure capable of standing independently at both corners of the range.

[0008] The tempura guard of the present invention is formed by combining stainless steel flat plates in a cross shape using slits, so that it can be easily disassembled and washed with a detergent. Unlikely, no garbage problem. In addition, the second and third flat plates are used by overlapping on the back of the range. By adjusting the amount of overlap at this time, it is possible to cope with ranges of various sizes. Furthermore, since the lower half of the second and third flat plates is notched, it is easy to expose the main plug and its operation is easy. In addition, when two flat plates are combined, the corners are slightly rearward. Since it protrudes to the side and both sides, it is self-made and has good stability, and it is hard to fall down. Another advantage is that the number of parts is small and only a flat plate needs to be punched out, so that the manufacturing cost is low.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the tempura guard of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view thereof. As shown, the tempura guard of the present invention comprises a set of four stainless steel flat plates. The thickness is preferably about 0.8 to 1.0 mm from the viewpoint of balance between strength and weight. In this embodiment, all four sheets have the same height. The first flat plate 1 and the fourth flat plate 4 have the same shape if the front and back are reversed, and similarly, the second flat plate 2 and the third flat plate 3 have the same shape if the front and back are reversed. ing.

The first flat plate 1 and the fourth flat plate 4 are rectangular, and a vertical slit 5 is formed from the upper end or lower end near the end to the center. The second flat plate 2 and the third flat plate 3 have a lateral L-shape in which a notch 6 is provided in the lower half of one side of the rectangle, and an upper end near the opposite end of the notch 6 or A vertical slit 7 is formed from the lower end to the center. The slit 7 and the slit 5 are formed in the upper and lower directions opposite to each other so that the slit 7 can engage with the slit 5 of the first and fourth flat plates 1 and 4. Further, these slits 5 and 7 do not necessarily have to be the same length, and the sum of both lengths may be at least the height of each of the flat plates 1 to 4. The widths of the slits 5 and 7 are set slightly larger than the thickness of each of the flat plates 1 to 4 so that they can be easily disassembled and assembled, and the crossed state can be stabilized with little play. Keep it.

The notch 6 of the second flat plate 2 and the third flat plate 3 is for exposing the main plug 10 at the time of use as shown in FIG. Although the height of the main plug 10 is not always constant, as shown in FIG. 2, if the height of the notch 6 is set to be half the height of the second and third flat plates 2 and 3, the height of the main plug 10 becomes as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, it is preferable because it is possible to eliminate waste of material when punching a material from a fixed-size stainless steel panel, and to suppress manufacturing costs. The width of these cutouts 6 may be set appropriately, but is preferably set to be about half the width of the second and third flat plates 2 and 3 as in this embodiment.

The tempura guard of the present invention can be usually disassembled and stored in a narrow space, but in use, as shown in FIG. 1, a first flat plate 1 and a second flat plate 2 are used. The slits 5 and 7 of each plate are combined while crossing the third plate 3 and the fourth plate 4 at substantially right angles, and stand independently at the corners of the range 20 as shown in FIG. At this time, the central portions of the second flat plate 2 and the third flat plate 3 are overlapped as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and by changing the overlapping width, the size of the range 20 can be freely adjusted. . Therefore, even if the width of the range 20 changes, the distance that the first and fourth flat plates 1 and 4 cover both sides of the range 20 does not change. Since the main plug 10 of the range 20 is exposed from the notch 6, there is no problem in operation.

In the combined state, the ends of the flat plates 1 to 4 slightly protrude to the rear side and both sides, so that each flat plate is made of a stainless steel plate having a certain weight and is free standing. It has good properties and stability, and has the advantage that it does not easily fall down even if it hits a cooking utensil or the like. After use, it can be disassembled into flat plates, so it can be easily washed with detergent, and since it is made of a stainless steel plate that does not rust, it can be used semipermanently in a clean state. Therefore, unlike disposable tempura guards, there is no garbage that is dangerous. Since the tempura guard of the present invention is excellent in independence and stability as described above, when the range 20 is large, it can be used standing on the range 20 as shown in FIG.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the tempura guard of the present invention can be easily disassembled and washed with a detergent, and does not cause a waste problem. In addition, it can correspond to a range of various sizes, and it is easy to expose the main plug and its operation is easy. In addition, it has the advantages of good independence and stability, and it has the advantage of being hard to fall.In addition, it can be manufactured only by punching a flat plate with a press, does not require bending work, and uses no other parts other than the flat plate. There is also an advantage that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Therefore, the present invention is of great practical value as a tempura guard that solves the conventional problems.
