Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lid and a scooping tool. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lid for covering an opening of a scooping tool such as a scoop for scooping shortening, and to a scooping tool equipped with such a lid. [Background technology]

[0002] By mastering the use of fire, humans have developed various cooking techniques and have greatly changed the food we eat. This shows just how important the cooking technique of heat cooking is.

[0003] Cooking methods are broadly divided into wet heating, which uses water, and dry heating, which does not use water. Here, moist heating is a heating method in which heat is transferred by water or steam, specifically, cooking methods such as "boiling" and "steaming." In contrast, dry heating is a heating method in which heat is transferred without using water or other substances, and specific examples of this include cooking methods such as baking, stir-frying, and deep-frying.

[0004] Among foods that are cooked, fried foods are popular with many people because of their good texture.

[0005] When deep frying food, it is necessary to take out a liquid, solid, or semi-solid oil and fat composition in an amount to be used. In particular, when deep frying food, it is necessary to put into a fryer only the amount of the oil and fat composition to be used.

[0006] In particular, when a solid fat or oil composition is used, the solid fat or oil composition is separated and put into a fryer by either the method of "dissolving once and separating" or "separating in a solid state", but the method of dissolving once and separating requires special equipment for dissolving. Also, in the method of separating in a solid state, when separating with a stainless steel scoop or the like, it is difficult to separate a desired amount depending on the physical properties of the fat or oil composition.

[0007] In order to solve the problem that an oil and fat composition is difficult to handle when used for frying, for example, Patent Document 1 describes an oil and fat composition for deep frying that contains 32 mL / 100 g to 115 mL / 100 g of gas at 10° C., contains 70% by mass to 100% by mass of palm-based oil and is in a solid state at 10° C. The oil and fat composition described in Patent Document 1 has the effect of making it easy to insert a shovel or the like, thereby improving ease of handling. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-42475 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] However, when a separated liquid oil and fat composition or a separated solid oil and fat composition, such as shortening, is poured into a fryer with a scoop, the liquid oil and fat composition or shortening falls from the scoop into the fryer with great force, causing the high-temperature oil stored in the fryer to splash, resulting in a problem that the user of the scoop may be burned. Therefore, there has been a demand for a device that can protect the user from oil splashes and the like.

[0010] The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and has an object to provide a lid and scooping tool that can protect the user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the lid of the present invention is a lid that covers at least the opening on the top surface of a scooping tool having a handle portion extending in the longitudinal direction, and a scooping portion attached to one end of the handle portion and having openings that are connected to each other on its top surface and on its front surface opposite the rear surface to which the handle portion is attached, and is provided with a covering portion that is capable of covering at least the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion, and a gripping portion that is attached to the covering portion, extends in the longitudinal direction, and can be attached to the handle portion in a freely detachable manner.

[0012] Here, the cover portion capable of covering at least the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion can prevent the object scooped by the scooping portion, i.e., the contents, from spilling out of the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion. In addition, the covering portion, which can cover at least the opening on the upper surface of the scooping portion, can prevent the oil from splashing onto the user even if the contents are an oil composition such as shortening and the oil composition is slid down from the scooping portion into hot oil or the oil composition is put into the hot oil together with the scooping portion, causing the oil to splash.

[0013] In addition, the gripping portion is attached to the cover portion and extends in the longitudinal direction, and can be removably attached to the gripping portion, so that when the cover portion covers the opening on the upper surface of the scooping portion, the gripping portion can be attached to the gripping portion, and the scooping tool and the lid body can be used as a single unit.

[0014] Furthermore, in the lid body of the present invention, a space capable of accommodating the gripping portion of a scooping tool is formed inside the gripping portion, and the space opens toward the same side of the cover portion that faces the opening on the upper surface of the scooping portion. The gripping portion is provided with a longitudinal opening that connects the space in the gripping portion with the outside, and extends in the longitudinal direction, and end openings that are located at both ends in the longitudinal direction and connect with the longitudinal openings. The inner shape of the gripping portion corresponds to the outer shape of the gripping portion.

[0015] In this case, the gripping portion of the scooping tool can be housed in the space inside the gripping portion, making it easier to grip the gripping portion together with the gripping portion of the scooping tool, and making it easier to use the scooping tool and the lid body as one unit.

[0016] In this case, even when the contents become bulky and the cover portion is pushed up, part of the gripping portion of the scooping tool is extended from the internal space of the gripping portion to the outside through the longitudinal opening. As a result, while the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the handle portion, the contact area with the handle portion is larger due to the presence of side portions than in a gripping portion formed in a flat plate shape and having no side portions, making it easier to grip the handle portion and the gripping portion together than in a gripping portion formed in a flat plate shape and having no side portions.

[0017] Furthermore, in the lid body of the present invention, the cover portion is formed in a flat plate shape, and has a first region extending to a predetermined range from the edge portion to which the gripping portion is attached, and a second region arranged contiguous with the first region on the opposite side to the edge portion to which the gripping portion is attached, and the second region can be configured to be curved so that the edge portion of the second region opposite the first region faces the side of the cover portion facing the opening on the upper surface of the scooping portion.

[0018] In this case, the cover portion can easily cover the opening at the front of the scooping tool having a slanted front edge on the side surface. In this case, the edge of the second region of the covering portion opposite the first region is faced toward the contents of the scooping portion, and the second region is placed against the contents of the scooping portion, and the contents can be easily pushed out of the scooping portion or scraped out while grasping the gripping portion through the opening formed on the front surface of the scooping portion.

[0019] Furthermore, in the lid body of the present invention, the length of the second region in a direction approximately perpendicular to the direction connecting the first region and the second region can be configured to be shorter than the length of the first region in a direction approximately perpendicular to the direction connecting the first region and the second region.

[0020] In this case, the second region of the cover can be easily inserted up to the bottom surface of the scooping part, making it easier to scoop out the contents without leaving any behind.

[0021] Furthermore, in the lid of the present invention, the cover portion can be configured to be light-transmitting. In this case, the contents of the scoop portion can be visually confirmed even when the cover portion covers the opening on the upper surface of the scoop portion.

[0022] Furthermore, in the lid of the present invention, a through hole may be formed in the gripping portion on a side opposite to the side attached to the covering portion.

[0023] In this case, for example, a string passed through the through hole can be passed through a hole formed in the gripping portion and both ends of the string tied together to prevent the lid and the scooping tool from becoming completely separated, or a loop can be made with the string passed through the through hole and this loop can be passed through the user's arm to prevent the lid from falling.

[0024] In addition, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the scooping tool of the present invention comprises a main body having a handle extending in the longitudinal direction, and a scooping portion attached to one end of the handle and having openings that communicate with each other formed on its top surface and on its front surface opposite the rear surface to which the handle is attached, and a lid body capable of covering at least the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion, the lid body having a cover portion capable of covering at least the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion, and a gripping portion attached to the cover portion, extending in the longitudinal direction, and capable of being attached to the gripping portion in a removably manner.

[0025] Here, the lid capable of covering at least the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion can prevent the object scooped by the scooping portion, i.e., the contents, from spilling out of the opening on the top surface of the scooping portion. In addition, the lid, which can cover at least the opening on the upper surface of the scooping part, can prevent the oil from splashing on the user even if the contents are an oil composition such as shortening and the oil composition is placed into hot oil together with the scooping part and the oil splashes. In addition, the gripping portion is attached to the cover portion of the lid body and extends in the longitudinal direction, and can be removably attached to the gripping portion, so that when the cover portion covers the opening on the upper surface of the scooping portion, the gripping portion can be attached to the gripping portion, and the scooping tool and the lid body can be used as a single unit. Effect of the Invention

[0026] The lid according to the present invention can protect the user. The scoop according to the present invention provides protection for the user. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for the purpose of understanding the present invention. FIG. 1(a) is a schematic side view (a) showing an example of a lid body to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 1(b) is a schematic plan view (b) showing an example of a lid body to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 1(c) is a schematic back view (c) showing an example of a lid body to which the present invention is applied. Here, FIG. 1(c) is a diagram of the lid 10 of the present invention as viewed from the direction of the arrow A shown in FIG. 1(a).

[0029] FIG. 2 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing an example of a state in which a lid body to which the present invention is applied is attached to a square scoop. In other words, FIG. 2 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing an example of a square scoop to which the present invention is applied, which is provided with a lid to which the present invention is applied.

[0030] The lid 10 of the present invention shown in Figs. 1(a) to (c) is made of stainless steel, and is used by attaching it to, for example, a square scoop 50 made of stainless steel. The square scoop itself is a common one, and is used, for example, to scoop up a fat or oil composition used in cooking, such as shortening, and to pour the shortening into a fryer. That is, the square scoop 50 of the present invention is characterized in that it is equipped with the lid body 10 of the present invention. Moreover, the square scoop 50 is an example of a scooping tool.

[0031] Here, the body of the square scoop 50 of the present invention has a grip portion 60. Moreover, the grip portion 60 extends in the longitudinal direction. The outer shape of the gripping portion 60 is a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0032] The body of the square scoop 50 of the present invention also has a scooping portion 70 . Here, the scooping part 70 is attached to one end of the gripping part 60 .

[0033] Moreover, the scooping portion 70 is configured to be able to scoop up liquid matter and solid matter. That is, the scooping portion 70 is composed of a bottom portion 72, a pair of side portions 73 protruding in approximately the same direction from opposing edges of the bottom portion 72, and a rear portion 74 protruding in approximately the same direction as the side portions 73 from the other edge of the bottom portion 72 and connected to the side portions 73.

[0034] Here, the side surface portion 73 and the rear surface portion 74 do not protrude so as to be approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface portion 72, and the side surface portion 73 protrudes at a slight incline in a direction in which its edges move away from each other, and the rear surface portion 74 protrudes at a slight incline in a direction in which its edges move away from the front surface side. Therefore, the area of ​​the bottom portion 72 is smaller than the area of ​​the upper surface of the scooping portion 70 , that is, the area of ​​the surface enclosed by the edges of the pair of side portions 73 protruding from the bottom portion 72 and the edge of the rear portion 74 .

[0035] In addition, since the scooping portion 70 is shown in its cross section, only one side surface portion 73 is shown.

[0036] In addition, the rear surface 74 of the scoop 70 is attached to one end of the grip 60 .

[0037] Further, an inclined portion 75 protrudes obliquely toward the opposite side to the rear surface portion 74 from the edge of the bottom surface portion 72 opposite to the edge from which the rear surface portion 74 protrudes.

[0038] The side surface portions 73 also protrude from the opposing edges of the inclined portion 75, and the side surface portions 73 protruding from the bottom surface portion 72 and the side surface portions 73 protruding from the inclined portion 75 are connected to each other. Further, the edge of the side surface portion 73 protruding from the inclined portion 75 is connected obliquely to the edge of the side surface portion 73 protruding from the bottom surface portion 72 .

[0039] In addition, openings that communicate with each other are formed on the upper surface of scooping portion 70, i.e., the surface surrounded by the edges of a pair of side portions 73 protruding from bottom portion 72 and the edge of rear portion 74, and on the front surface of scooping portion 70 opposite the rear surface to which gripping portion 60 is attached, i.e., the surface surrounded by the inclined edges of a pair of side portions 73 protruding from inclined portion 75 and the edge of inclined portion 75. This opening is the upper front opening 71 .

[0040] In addition, in the scooping portion 70, a space surrounded by a bottom surface portion 72, a pair of side surfaces 73, a rear surface portion 74, and an inclined portion 75 is formed.

[0041] The lid 10 of the present invention provided on the square scoop 50 of the present invention includes a cover portion 20. Here, the cover portion 20 is capable of covering the upper front opening 71 of the scoop portion 70 .

[0042] The lid 10 of the present invention provided on the square scoop 50 of the present invention includes a grip portion 30 . Here, the gripping portion 30 is attached to the cover portion 20 and extends in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the gripping portion 30 can be detachably attached to the gripping portion 60 .

[0043] Moreover, the cover portion 20 is formed in a flat plate shape. In addition, the cover portion 20 has a first region 21 and a second region 22 . Here, the first region 21 is a region that extends to a predetermined range from the edge to which the gripping portion 30 is attached. Specifically, for example, the first area 21 is an area extending within a range of 20 cm from the edge to which the gripping portion 30 is attached, but it is needless to say that the area is not limited to this.

[0044] The second region 22 is a region that is disposed contiguous with the first region 21 on the opposite side to the edge portion to which the gripping portion 30 is attached. In addition, the second region 22 is curved. That is, the second region 22 is curved so that the edge of the second region 22 opposite to the first region 21 faces the side of the covering part 20 facing the upper front opening 71 of the scooping part 70.

[0045] Moreover, a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction connecting first region 21 and second region 22 is defined as a width direction. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the length W2 of the second region 22 in the width direction is shorter than the length W1 of the first region 21 in the width direction.

[0046] Furthermore, the cover 20 of the lid 10 of the present invention or the square scoop 50 of the present invention can be made of, for example, polycarbonate, making the cover 20 light-transmitting. By making the cover portion 20 light-transmitting, the shortening 80 present in the scooping portion 70 can be visually confirmed even in a state in which the cover portion 20 covers the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 1(c), the gripping portion 30 is composed of a flat upper surface portion 31 and a pair of side surfaces 32 protruding in approximately the same direction from opposing edges of the upper surface portion 31. That is, a space surrounded by an upper surface portion 31 and a pair of side surfaces 32 is formed inside the gripping portion 30, and the gripping portion 30 is formed in a substantially U-shape.

[0048] Further, the gripping portion 30 is formed with a longitudinal opening 33 . Here, the longitudinal opening 33 opens toward the same side of the covering portion 20 as the side facing the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70, and extends in the longitudinal direction, connecting the internal space of the gripping portion 30 with the outside.

[0049] Additionally, gripping portion 30 is formed with an end opening 34 . Here, the end openings 34 are located at both ends in the longitudinal direction and communicate with the longitudinal openings 33 .

[0050] The inner shape of gripping portion 30 is a rectangular parallelepiped shape similar to the outer shape of gripping portion 60 , and the inner shape of gripping portion 30 corresponds to the outer shape of gripping portion 60 .

[0051] In addition, the gripping portion 60 of the square scoop 50 of the present invention can be accommodated in the space formed inside the gripping portion 30 through the longitudinal opening 33 of the gripping portion 30. In other words, the gripping portion 30 can be attached to the gripping portion 60. In addition, the grip portion 60 can be taken out from the internal space of the grip portion 30 to the outside through the longitudinal opening 33 of the grip portion 30. In other words, the grip portion 30 can be detached from the grip portion 60. In this manner, the gripping portion 30 is removably attachable to the gripping portion 60 .

[0052] Furthermore, the gripping portion 30 of the lid 10 of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and therefore provides the following operational effects. The following description will be given with reference to the drawings.

[0053] FIG. 3 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing an example of the state of a lid to which the present invention is applied when shortening scooped by a square scoop becomes bulky.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 3, even when the shortening 80 present in the scooping portion 70 becomes bulky and pushes up the covering portion 20, a part of the gripping portion 60 of the square scoop 50 is extended from the internal space of the gripping portion 30 to the outside through the longitudinal opening 33 of the gripping portion 30. As a result, while the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 30 is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 60, the contact area with the gripping portion 60 is larger due to the presence of side surfaces than in a gripping portion formed in a flat plate shape and having no side surfaces, so that the gripping portion 60 and the gripping portion 30 can be grasped together more easily than in a gripping portion formed in a flat plate shape and having no side surfaces.

[0055] Furthermore, as described above, the cover portion 20 provided on the lid body 10 of the present invention is configured such that the edge of the second region 22 opposite the first region 21 faces the side of the cover portion 20 that faces the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70, and therefore the following functional effects are achieved. The following description will be given with reference to the drawings.

[0056] FIG. 4 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing an example of how the shortening scooped by a square scoop is scraped out of the square scoop using a lid to which the present invention is applied.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 4 , while the edge of the second region 22 of the covering portion 20 opposite the first region 21 is directed toward the shortening 80 present in the scooping portion 70, the second region 22 is brought into contact with the shortening 80, and while gripping the gripping portion 30, the shortening 80 can be easily pushed out of the scooping portion 70 through the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70 or scraped out.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1(b), a through hole 35 is formed on the side of the gripping part 30 opposite to the side attached to the cover part 20. As shown in FIG. 1(b), a string 40 is passed through a through hole 35 formed in the gripping portion 30, and both ends of the string 40 passed through the through hole 35 are tied together to form a loop. The loop made of the string 40 can be passed through the user's arm to prevent the lid 10 of the present invention from falling off.

[0059] In the lid body 10 of the present invention, as long as the gripping portion 30 can be attached and detached freely to the gripping portion 60, it is not necessary for a space capable of accommodating the gripping portion 60 to be formed inside the gripping portion 30, it is not necessary for the gripping portion 30 to have a longitudinal opening 33 and an end opening 34, and it is not necessary for the inner shape of the gripping portion 30 to correspond to the outer shape of the gripping portion 60.

[0060] However, if the gripping portion 30 is configured in this manner, the gripping portion 60 of the square shovel 50 can be accommodated in the internal space of the gripping portion 30, making it easier to grip the gripping portion 30 together with the gripping portion 60 of the square shovel 50, and this is preferable because it makes it easier to use the square shovel 50 and the lid body 10 as a single unit. Furthermore, if the gripping portion 30 is configured in this manner, even when the shortening 80 present in the scooping portion 70 becomes bulky and pushes up the covering portion 20, a part of the gripping portion 60 of the square scoop 50 will be extended from the internal space of the gripping portion 30 to the outside through the longitudinal opening 33 of the gripping portion 30. As a result, while the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 30 will be inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 60, the contact area with the gripping portion 60 will be larger due to the presence of side portions than in a gripping portion formed in a flat plate shape and having no side portions, making it easier to grip the gripping portion 60 and the gripping portion 30 together than in a gripping portion formed in a flat plate shape and having no side portions, which is preferable.

[0061] Also, for example, the gripping portion may be formed in a flat plate shape, and a ring body through which the gripping portion can be inserted may be attached to the approximate center of the gripping portion. This is because even with this configuration, the gripping portion can be detachably attached to the gripping portion.

[0062] Furthermore, the inner shape of the gripping portion 30 and the outer shape of the gripping portion 60 do not necessarily have to be a rectangular parallelepiped shape. For example, the inner shape of the gripping portion 30 and the outer shape of the gripping portion 60 may be cylindrical.

[0063] In the lid 10 of the present invention, the second region 22 of the covering portion 20 does not necessarily have to be curved. However, it is preferable that the second region 22 of the cover 20 is curved, since this makes it easier for the cover 20 to cover the front opening of a scoop or scooping tool having a beveled front edge on the side. Furthermore, if the second region 22 of the covering portion 20 is curved, it is preferable that the edge of the second region 22 of the covering portion 20 opposite the first region 21 be directed toward the shortening 80 present in the scooping portion 70 of the square scoop 50, the second region 22 be brought into contact with the shortening 80, and the shortening 80 be easily pushed out of the scooping portion 70 through the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70 or scraped out the shortening 80 while gripping the gripping portion 30.

[0064] Furthermore, in the lid body 10 of the present invention, the widthwise length W2 of the second region 22 does not necessarily have to be shorter than the widthwise length W1 of the first region 21, and the widthwise length W2 of the second region 22 can also be approximately the same as the widthwise length W1 of the first region 21.

[0065] However, if the widthwise length W2 of the second region 22 is shorter than the widthwise length W1 of the first region 21, when the area of ​​the bottom portion 72 is smaller than the area of ​​the upper surface of the scooping portion 70, it becomes easier to insert the second region 22 of the covering portion 20 up to the bottom portion 72 of the scooping portion 70, making it easier to scrape out the contents such as shortening 80 without leaving any behind, which is preferable.

[0066] Furthermore, in the lid 10 of the present invention, the gripping portion 30 does not necessarily have to have the through-hole 35 formed therein. However, if a through hole 35 is formed in the gripping portion 30, for example, a string 40 passed through the through hole 35 can be passed through a hole formed in the gripping portion 60 and both ends of the string 40 can be tied together to prevent the lid 10 and the square shovel 50 of the present invention from becoming completely separated, or a loop can be made with the string 40 passed through the through hole 35 and this loop can be passed around the user's arm to prevent the shovel from falling, which is preferable.

[0067] Furthermore, as long as the lid body 10 of the present invention can be attached, the scooping tool does not necessarily have to be a square shovel 50, but may be, for example, a scoop having a handle portion extending in the longitudinal direction attached to the rear surface of a cylindrical body and a scooping portion having openings on the top and front surfaces that are connected to each other.

[0068] An example of a method of using the lid 10 of the present invention and the square scoop 50 of the present invention will be described. For example, the required amount of shortening 80 is scooped up using the scooping portion 70 of the square scoop 50 of the present invention, and further, the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70 is covered with the covering portion 20 of the lid body 10 of the present invention, and the gripping portion 30 of the lid body 10 of the present invention is detachably attached to the gripping portion 60 of the square scoop 50 of the present invention.

[0069] Then, gripping portion 60 and gripping portion 30 are grasped together, and scooping portion 70 is tilted so that the front of scooping portion 70, i.e., the inclined portion 75 side, faces the high-temperature oil in the fryer. In this way, gravity will cause the shortening 80 to slide up the inclined portion 75 and out of the scoop portion 70 through the upper front opening 71 . At this time, the shortening 80 pushes up the covering portion 20, and as a result, the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 30 becomes inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 60, while gripping the gripping portion 60 and the gripping portion 30 together, so that the shortening 80 can be poured into the high-temperature oil in the fryer without removing the lid body 10 of the present invention.

[0070] In addition, since the lid 10 and the square scoop 50 of the present invention are made of stainless steel, the shortening 80 can be immersed in the oil in the fryer together with the scooping portion 70 without removing the shortening 80 from the scooping portion 70. At this time, since the cover part 20 does not seal the upper front opening 71 of the scooping part 70, a gap exists between the cover part 20 and the scooping part 70, and oil from the fryer flows into the scooping part 70 through this gap and mixes with the shortening 80.

[0071] As described above, the lid body 10 of the present invention is equipped with the covering portion 20, so even if the shortening 80 scooped by the scooping portion 70 of the main body of the square shovel 50 of the present invention slides from the scooping portion 70 into hot oil or is placed into the hot oil together with the scooping portion 70, causing the oil to splash, the oil can be prevented from splashing onto the user.

[0072] Furthermore, since the lid body 10 of the present invention is provided with a gripping portion 30, when the cover portion 20 covers the upper front opening 71 of the scooping portion 70, the gripping portion 30 can be attached to the gripping portion 60 of the main body of the square shovel 50 of the present invention, and the main body of the square shovel 50 of the present invention and the lid body 10 of the present invention can be used integrally.

[0073] Therefore, when the lid body 10 of the present invention is used together with the main body of the square scoop 50 of the present invention, it is possible to prevent oil from splashing on the user and to protect the user even when the shortening 80 is poured into hot oil. Furthermore, the square scoop 50 of the present invention is also equipped with the lid 10 of the present invention, so that even when the shortening 80 is poured into hot oil, the user can be protected from oil splashing.

[0074] In addition, although the scooping portion 70 of the main body of the square shovel 50 of the present invention has been described as being used to scoop up shortening 80, the lid 10 and square shovel 50 of the present invention can also protect the user in other cases, such as when scooping up soil from the ground. In other words, when soil is scooped up from the ground, even if a small jumping animal such as a frog is found living in the scooped up soil, the jumping frog will not be able to get out of the scooping part 70 due to the covering part 20 and will not be able to jump onto the user, so it can be said that the lid body 10 of the present invention and the square shovel 50 of the present invention can protect the user.
