Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a coffee grinder stand for placing a coffee grinder above a coffee dripper. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the spread of telecommuting and remote work, and an increase in outdoor activities, the need to drink delicious coffee at home or outdoors has increased, and the demand for coffee grinders (also called coffee mills) has also increased. As shown in Fig. 8, the coffee grinder G is composed of a coffee grinder body Gb and a container Gc. When using the coffee grinder G, the container Gc is connected to the coffee grinder body Gb. Then, the coffee beans ground by the coffee grinder G become coffee powder and are stored in the container Gc. After that, the coffee powder is transferred from the container Gc to a paper filter placed on a coffee dripper.

[0003] A coffee grinder stand has already been developed to eliminate the need to transfer coffee powder from the container Gc to a paper filter (see Patent Document 1). The coffee grinder stand according to this prior art is equipped with a mounting base having a through hole (referred to as a coffee mill mounting hole in Patent Document 1) for passing coffee powder through, and the mounting base is disposed above and spaced apart from the coffee dripper. Three legs (referred to as three legs in Patent Document 1) are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction on the periphery of the mounting base, and the three legs are disposed to surround the coffee dripper.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3238359 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, the coffee powder ground by the coffee grinder G is charged with static electricity. Therefore, if the mounting table and the coffee dripper are vertically separated from each other, the coffee powder may scatter when it is collected in the paper filter placed on the coffee dripper, which makes it difficult to collect the coffee powder.

[0006] In addition, because the three legs are arranged to surround the coffee dripper, the coffee grinder stand tends to be large in size, making it difficult to improve the storability and portability of the coffee grinder stand.

[0007] Therefore, one aspect of the present invention aims to improve the storability and portability of a coffee grinder stand while containing coffee powder within a paper filter without the coffee powder scattering. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A coffee grinder stand according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body portion, a through hole in the main body portion, a holding portion on the periphery of the through hole, and arm members respectively provided on both lateral sides of the main body portion so as to be retractable. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the storability and portability of a coffee grinder stand, while allowing coffee powder to be contained within a paper filter placed on a coffee dripper without the coffee powder scattering.

As shown in FIG. VIA to VIC in FIG. 6 are schematic side views showing an arm member 24 according to another embodiment.

[0015] (Overview of Coffee Grinder Stand 10) As shown in FIG. 1, coffee grinder stand 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a device for placing coffee grinder 14 on top of coffee dripper 12 (coffee grinder stand 10 is placed on coffee dripper 12, and coffee grinder 14 is further placed on coffee grinder stand 10), and is also called a coffee mill stand. Here, coffee grinder 14 is a device for grinding coffee beans into coffee powder. Coffee grinder 14 includes cylindrical coffee grinder body 16 and an electric or manual grinding mechanism (not shown) that is provided in coffee grinder body 16 and grinds coffee beans. Coffee dripper 12 is a device for filtering coffee powder to extract coffee liquid. A paper filter (not shown) is placed inside coffee dripper 12. The aperture of coffee dripper 12 for 1 to 2 cups is, for example, about 90 mm. The aperture of coffee dripper 12 for 1 to 4 cups is, for example, about 116 mm. The diameter of coffee dripper 12 for 1 to 6 cups is, for example, about 134 mm.

[0016] (Coffee grinder stand body 18, through hole 18h, bottom surface 20) As shown in IIA and IIB in FIG. 2, IIIA and IIIB in FIG. 3, and IVA and IVB in FIG. 4, the coffee grinder stand 10 has a box-shaped coffee grinder stand main body 18 as a main body, and the coffee grinder stand main body 18 has a rectangular shape (e.g., 85 mm per side) in a plan view. The coffee grinder stand main body 18 has a circular through hole 18h (the diameter of the through hole is, for example, 54 mm) in the center for passing the coffee powder ground by the coffee grinder 14. The coffee grinder stand main body 18 has a rectangular bottom surface portion 20, which is made of synthetic resin. The bottom surface portion 20 has a circular through hole 20h in the center. The bottom surface portion 20 may be made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy instead of a synthetic resin. Furthermore, bottom portion 20 (the lower surface of the bottom portion) viewed from the bottom direction has an anti-slip effect according to the size of coffee dripper 12 by providing an anti-slip material such as rubber on the part made of synthetic resin or the like.

[0017] (Cover member 22, wall portion 22w) As shown in IIA and IIB in Fig. 2 and IIIA and IIIB in Fig. 3, the coffee grinder stand main body 18 includes a rectangular cover member 22 provided on the upper side of the bottom surface portion 20 (see Fig. 4), and the cover member 22 is made of synthetic resin. The cover member 22 has a circular through hole 22h in the center, and the through hole 22h corresponds to the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand main body 18. The cover member 22 may be made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy instead of a synthetic resin.

[0018] A standing annular wall 22w (e.g., 8 mm) is formed on the periphery of the through hole 22h of the cover member 22 as a holding part for holding the lower end of the coffee grinder body 16. The wall 22w protrudes from the upper surface of the cover member 22 and extends to the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 20h of the bottom surface part 20. The wall 22w of the cover member 22 is a part for placing (installing) the coffee grinder 14 on the coffee grinder body 16, and is located inside (inside in the radial direction) of the lower end of the coffee grinder body 16. The outer edge of the cover member 22 is welded to the outer edge of the bottom surface part 20, and the wall 22w of the cover member 22 is welded to the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 20h of the bottom surface part 20. This makes it possible to prevent water from entering the coffee grinder stand body 18, improving the airtightness of the coffee grinder stand body 18.

[0019] (Arm member 24) As shown in IIA and IIB in Fig. 2 and VA and VB in Fig. 5, the coffee grinder 14 has arm members 24 (comprised of parallel rods 26 and connecting rods 28) respectively provided retractably on both lateral sides of the coffee grinder stand main body 18, and the connecting rods 28 of the arm members 24 engage the peripheral edge of the coffee dripper 12 from below. Each arm member 24 is made of a corrosion-resistant metal such as a stainless steel alloy.

[0020] As shown in IVA in Fig. 4 and VA and VB in Fig. 5, the arm member 24 is formed into a U-shape in the plan view of Fig. 5 by bending, for example, a single piece of stainless steel alloy or the like (for example, a piece having a substantially circular cross section and a diameter of 3 mm). Furthermore, the tip end side of the arm member 24 (the part that will become the connecting rod 28) is further bent once more at approximately 90° downward from the parallel rod as viewed in the front view of Fig. 2 (as viewed from the side).

[0021] Each arm member 24 has a pair of parallel rods 26 that are retractably provided on the lateral side of the coffee grinder stand body 18, and the pair of parallel rods 26 extend parallel along the lateral direction. Each pair of parallel rods 26 is located on both vertical sides of the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand body 18. The pair of parallel rods 26a, 26b in one arm member 24 is located on one lateral side and both vertical sides of the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand body 18. The pair of parallel rods 26c, 26d in the other arm member 24 is located on the other lateral side and both vertical sides of the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand body 18. A protrusion 26p that protrudes downward (DD) from the parallel rod 26 is formed on the end of each parallel rod 26 that is not connected to the connecting rod 28.

[0022] Each arm member 24 has a connecting rod 28 provided to connect between the tip ends of a pair of parallel rods 26 (for example, the right tip ends of parallel rods 26a, 26b and the left tip ends of parallel rods 26c, 26d in FIG. 2), and the connecting rod 28 protrudes downward (DD) relative to the parallel rods 26. As shown in VA in FIG. 5, the side view shape (shape viewed from the side) of each connecting rod 28 is U-shaped.

[0023] Each connecting rod 28 is located on one lateral side of the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand body 18. The connecting rod 28 of one arm member 24 is located on one lateral side of the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand body 18. The connecting rod 28 of the other arm member 24 is located on the other lateral side of the through hole 18h of the coffee grinder stand body 18.

[0024] The tip end side (connecting rod 28 side) of each arm member 24 in Fig. 5 is bent downward by approximately 90° as viewed from the front by a single bending process. VIA in Fig. 6 is bent by approximately 90° again by a bending process after being bent by approximately 90° the first time.

[0025] Furthermore, after the first bending process of approximately 90° as shown in FIG. 6V, the second bending process may be performed at a bending angle smaller than that of FIG. 6VIA to form an inclined portion 28s inclined relative to the lateral direction.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6 VIB, the first and second bending processes are performed at approximately 90°. The third folding process may be performed at a bending angle smaller than that of VIA in FIG. 6 to form an inclined portion 28s inclined relative to the lateral direction.

[0027] By bending arm member 24 in a number of ways, the sides of coffee dripper 12 can also be held, further improving the holding force of coffee grinder 14 and coffee dripper 12.

[0028] (Relationship between the coffee grinder stand body 18 and the arm member 24) As shown in IVA and IVB in Fig. 4 and VA in Fig. 5, a pair of guide grooves 20g for guiding each parallel rod 26 to be movable in the horizontal direction is formed on both ends of the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 20 in the vertical direction, and each guide groove 20g extends in the horizontal direction. The pair of guide grooves 20g for guiding one arm member 24 to be movable in the horizontal direction and the pair of guide grooves 20g for guiding the other arm member 24 to be movable in the horizontal direction are arranged offset in the vertical direction (LD) so as not to overlap. This allows the pair of parallel rods 26a, 26b and the pair of parallel rods 26c, 26d to be stored in the coffee grinder stand main body 18 without interference between the pair of parallel rods 26a, 26b and the pair of parallel rods 26c, 26d.

[0029] A support portion 20b that supports each parallel rod 26 from below is formed on the bottom surface of each guide groove 20g of the bottom surface portion 20. A stopper portion 20s that can abut against a protrusion 26p of each connecting rod 28 is formed at a position laterally separated from the support portion 20b on the bottom surface of each guide groove 20g of the bottom surface portion 20, and each stopper portion 20s supports each parallel rod 26 from below. The protrusion 26p of each parallel rod 26 abuts against each stopper portion 20s of the bottom surface portion 20, thereby defining the maximum pull-out amount (e.g., 33 mm) of each arm member 24 relative to the coffee grinder stand main body 18 and preventing each arm member 24 from coming off the coffee grinder stand main body 18.

[0030] Although each arm member 24 includes a pair of parallel rods 26 and a connecting rod 28, the configuration of each arm member 24 may be modified as appropriate as long as each arm member 24 can be engaged with the peripheral edge of coffee dripper 12. For example, each arm member 24 may be formed in a plate shape, and a hook portion capable of being engaged with the peripheral edge of coffee dripper 12 may be provided at the tip of each arm member 24.

[0031] (Action and effect) According to the configuration of the coffee grinder stand 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in IIB of FIG. 2, the wall portion 22w of the cover member 22 is positioned inside the lower end portion of the coffee grinder main body 16, in other words, the lower end portion of the coffee grinder main body 16 is held by the wall portion 22w as a holding portion, so that the coffee grinder 14 can be stably placed on the coffee grinder stand main body 18. In addition, the pair of arm members 24 are engaged with the peripheral edge portion of the coffee dripper 12, respectively. This allows the coffee grinder 14 to be placed on the upper side of the coffee dripper 12 without separating the coffee grinder stand main body 18 and the coffee dripper 12 in the vertical or horizontal directions. As a result, the coffee powder ground by the coffee grinder 14 can be directly contained in the paper filter placed on the coffee dripper 12 without scattering.

[0032] The pair of arm members 24 can be pulled out from the lateral side of the coffee grinder stand body 18. Therefore, in the state before the pair of arm members 24 are pulled out, In the states IIIA and IIIB of Fig. 3, the connecting rod 28 is positioned below the coffee grinder stand main body 18 (IIIB of Fig. 3), so in a plan view (IIIA of Fig. 3), the connecting rod 28 can be accommodated in approximately the same location as the side portion of the coffee grinder stand main body 18. Even if the arm member 24 is present, it can be accommodated within the lateral dimension of the coffee grinder stand 18. This allows the coffee grinder stand 10 to be made compact while improving the storability and portability of the coffee grinder stand 10.

[0033] In other words, according to this embodiment, the storage capacity and portability of the coffee grinder stand 10 can be improved, while the coffee powder ground by the coffee grinder 14 can be contained within the paper filter without scattering.

[0034] In addition, because coffee grinder 14 can be placed above coffee dripper 12, a person can hold coffee grinder 14 with little force when grinding coffee beans with electric coffee grinder 14. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the work of grinding coffee beans becomes easier.

[0035] 2, if the aperture of coffee dripper 12 is sufficiently larger than the horizontal and vertical dimensions of coffee grinder stand main body 18, when coffee grinder stand 10 is placed on coffee dripper 12, each arm member 24 can be pulled out from the horizontal side of coffee grinder stand main body 18, so that a part or all of coffee grinder stand main body 18 can be positioned inside coffee dripper 12. Then, the upper central portion of each connecting rod 28 and the lower end portions of each pair of parallel rods 26 that are close to connecting rod 28 cooperate to clamp the peripheral portion of coffee dripper 12 from above and below at, for example, three points, so that the coffee grinder stand 10 can be placed stably on coffee dripper 12.

[0036] As shown in IIIA and IIIB of Fig. 3, when the aperture of coffee dripper 12 is approximately the same as the horizontal and vertical dimensions of coffee grinder stand main body 18 (when each arm member 24 is hardly drawn out to the horizontal sides of coffee grinder stand main body 18), when coffee grinder stand 10 is placed on coffee dripper 12, coffee grinder stand main body 18 can be positioned at the peripheral portion of coffee dripper 12. In other words, since there is a gap (e.g., 5 mm) between each connecting rod 28 and the bottom of coffee grinder stand main body 18, the peripheral portion of coffee dripper 12 can be accommodated in this gap. As a result, the peripheral portion of coffee dripper 12 can be sandwiched from above and below by cooperation between the upper end of the center portion of each connecting rod 28 and both vertical sides of coffee grinder stand main body 18, and the coffee grinder stand 10 can be placed stably on coffee dripper 12.

[0037] In other words, according to this embodiment, even if the diameter of coffee dripper 12 changes, by making the length of arm member 24 extending from coffee grinder stand main body 18 variable, the placement state of coffee grinder stand 10 relative to coffee dripper 12 can be stabilized, and the ease of handling of coffee grinder stand 10 can be improved.

[0038] Coffee grinder stands 10A, 10B, and 10C according to Modifications 1 to 3 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a view equivalent to a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII of IIA in Fig. 2. Fig. VIIA in Fig. 7 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing a part of the coffee grinder stand 10A according to Modification 1 of the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. VIIB in Fig. 7 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing a part of the coffee grinder stand 10B according to Modification 2 of the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. VIIC in Fig. 7 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing a part of the coffee grinder stand 10C according to Modification 3 of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] (Variation 1) As shown in FIG. 7 VIIA, in the coffee grinder stand 10A relating to variant example 1 of this embodiment, a male threaded portion 22m is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the wall portion 22w of the cover member 22, which screws into a female threaded portion 16f formed on the inner peripheral surface of the coffee grinder body 16.

[0040] According to the configuration of the coffee grinder stand 10A according to the first modified example of this embodiment, the coffee grinder body 16 is held while being screwed into the wall portion 22w of the cover member 22, so that the coffee grinder 14 can be more stably placed on the coffee grinder body 16. Therefore, according to the first modified example of this embodiment, the ease of handling of the coffee grinder stand 10A can be further improved.

[0041] (Variation 2) 7, in the coffee grinder stand 10B according to the second modified example of this embodiment, the annular wall 22w is located outside (radially outside) the coffee grinder body 16. On the inner peripheral surface of the wall 22w of the cover member 22, a female thread 22f is formed to screw into a male thread 16m formed on the outer peripheral surface of the coffee grinder body 16.

[0042] According to the configuration of the coffee grinder stand 10B according to the modified example 2 of this embodiment, the coffee grinder body 16 is held while being screwed into the wall portion 22w of the cover member 22, so that the coffee grinder 14 can be more stably placed on the coffee grinder body 16. Therefore, according to the modified example 2 of this embodiment, the ease of handling of the coffee grinder stand 10B can be further improved.

[0043] (Variation 3) As shown in Fig. 7 VIIC, in the coffee grinder stand 10C according to the third modified example of this embodiment, an annular groove 22g (with a width of 5 mm or more) is formed on the periphery of the through hole 22h of the cover member 22 as a holding portion for holding the lower end of the coffee grinder body 16. An annular or arc-shaped wall portion located on the outside of the coffee grinder body 16 may be formed on the outer edge of the groove 22g of the cover member 22. An annular or arc-shaped wall portion located on the inside of the coffee grinder body 16 may be formed on the inner edge of the groove 22g of the cover member 22.

[0044] According to the configuration of the coffee grinder stand 10C according to the third modified example of this embodiment, the coffee grinder 14 can be placed on the coffee grinder stand 10C by holding the lower end of the coffee grinder body 16 in the groove 22g of the cover member 22. As a result, according to the third modified example of this embodiment, the ease of handling of the coffee grinder stand 10C can be improved. Furthermore, even if the coffee grinder 14 is a different type, the coffee grinder 14 can be placed on the coffee grinder stand 10C as long as the lower end of the coffee grinder body 16 can be fitted into the groove 22g of the cover member 22.

[0045] 〔summary〕 The coffee grinder stand of aspect 1 of the present invention comprises a main body portion having a through hole, a holding portion on the periphery of the through hole, and arm members respectively provided on both lateral sides of the main body portion so as to be retractable.

[0046] According to the above configuration, the lower end of the coffee grinder body of the coffee grinder is held by the holding part, so that the coffee grinder can be stably placed on the main body. This allows the coffee grinder to be placed above the coffee dripper without separating the main body and the coffee dripper in the vertical or horizontal directions. As a result, the coffee powder ground by the coffee grinder can be contained in the paper filter placed on the coffee dripper without scattering.

[0047] The pair of arm members can be pulled out from the lateral sides of the main body. Therefore, the lateral dimension of the coffee grinder stand before the pair of arm members are pulled out can be shortened. This makes it possible to make the coffee grinder stand compact and improve the storability and portability of the coffee grinder stand.

[0048] A coffee grinder stand according to a second aspect of the present invention is the coffee grinder stand according to the first aspect, wherein the holding portion is a standing wall portion.

[0049] According to the above configuration, by positioning the wall portion inside or outside the lower end of the coffee grinder body of the coffee grinder, the coffee grinder can be stably placed on the body portion.

[0050] A coffee grinder stand according to a third aspect of the present invention is the coffee grinder stand according to the first or second aspect, wherein each arm member has a pair of parallel rods extending in parallel along the horizontal direction, and a connecting rod that is provided to connect between the tip ends of the pair of parallel rods and protrudes downward from the parallel rods. In other words, the connecting rod connects between the end portions of the pair of parallel rods that protrude from the main body.

[0051] With the above-mentioned configuration, before the pair of arm members are pulled out, the connecting rod is located below the main body, so that in a plan view, the connecting rod can be accommodated in approximately the same location as the side of the main plate. Even if the pair of arm members are present, they can be accommodated within the lateral dimension of the main body. This makes it possible to further compactify the coffee grinder stand while improving its storability and portability.

[0052] Furthermore, if the diameter of the coffee dripper is sufficiently larger than the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the main body of the coffee grinder stand, a part of the coffee grinder stand body can be positioned on the center side of the coffee dripper when the coffee grinder stand is placed on the coffee dripper. Then, the upper part of the center of each connecting rod and the lower part of the tip part of each pair of parallel rods close to connecting rod 28 cooperate with each other to clamp the peripheral part of the coffee dripper from above and below at, for example, three points, and the coffee grinder stand can be stably placed on the coffee dripper.

[0053] If the diameter of the coffee dripper is approximately the same as the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the coffee grinder stand main body, the coffee grinder stand main body can be positioned on the peripheral portion of the coffee dripper when the coffee grinder stand is placed on the coffee dripper. In other words, since there is a gap (e.g., 5 mm) between each connecting rod and the bottom of the main body, the peripheral portion of the coffee dripper 12 can be accommodated in this gap. As a result, the peripheral portion of the coffee dripper can be sandwiched from above and below by the cooperation of the upper ends of the central portions of each connecting rod and both vertical sides of the coffee grinder stand main body, and the coffee grinder stand can be stably placed on the coffee dripper.

[0054] In other words, even if the diameter of the coffee dripper changes, by making the length of the arm member extending from the main body variable, the position of the coffee grinder stand relative to the coffee dripper can be stabilized, thereby improving the ease of handling of the coffee grinder stand.

[0055] A coffee grinder stand according to aspect 4 of the present invention may be the same as that of aspect 3, wherein each pair of parallel rods is located on both vertical sides of the through hole, and each connecting rod is located on one horizontal side of the through hole.

[0056] A coffee grinder stand according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the coffee grinder stand of any one of the second to fourth aspects, wherein the wall portion is positioned inside a lower end portion of a coffee grinder body of the coffee grinder.

[0057] According to the above configuration, when the coffee grinder is placed on the main body, the wall portion is located inside the lower end portion of the coffee grinder main body of the coffee grinder.

[0058] According to the above configuration, the wall portion is positioned inside the lower end portion of the coffee grinder body of the coffee grinder, whereby the coffee grinder can be placed on the body portion.

[0059] A coffee grinder stand according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is, in the fifth aspect, further characterized in that an outer peripheral surface of the wall portion may be formed with a male thread portion which screws into a female thread portion formed on an inner peripheral surface of the coffee grinder body.

[0060] According to the above configuration, by screwing the coffee grinder body into the wall portion, the coffee grinder can be stably placed on the coffee grinder stand body. A coffee grinder stand according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the coffee grinder stand according to the first aspect, wherein the holding portion is a groove portion.

[0061] According to the above configuration, the coffee grinder can be placed on the main body by holding the lower end of the coffee grinder body in the groove.

[0062] [Additional Notes] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims.
