Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 5 are diagrams illustrating embodiments of the present invention. In these diagrams, parts denoted by the same reference numerals represent the same objects, and the basic configurations and operations are assumed to be the same.
Example
[0020] Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a blowtorch with a multifunctional joint according to Example 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1(A) is a perspective view of the blowtorch with a multifunctional joint according to Example 1 of the present invention when stored. FIG. 1(B) is a perspective view of the blowtorch with a multifunctional joint according to Example 1 of the present invention during extension. FIG. 1(C) is a perspective view of the blowtorch with a multifunctional joint according to Example 1 of the present invention when extended. The blowtorch with a multifunctional joint 1 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a blowtorch 2, a joint 3, and a spring fork 4.
[0021] The blowtorch 2 is composed of a plurality of hollow rods with different diameters, and is made telescopic by forming a structure in multiple stages in which one of the two adjacent rods is slidably inserted into the hollow of the other rod. The blowtorch 2 can be used as a blowtorch in any state of the stored state (FIG. 1(A)), the state during extension (FIG. 1(B)), and the extended state (FIG. 1(C)).
[0022] In this example, an example in which the rod has a four-stage configuration is shown, and an example in which the total length of the rod is 225 mm when stored and 745.5 mm when extended is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it may have a one-stage configuration or a more multi-stage configuration.
[0023] Figure 2 is a one-sided cross-sectional perspective view of the blowtorch with a multi-functional joint according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention during extension. The blowtorch 2 is composed of a grip 21 and a rod 22.
[0024] The grip 21 may be integrally formed, but in this embodiment, it is composed of three parts: a grip top 211, a grip middle 212, and a grip end 213. The grip top 211 and the grip end 213 have the same shape and are fixed to the rod 22. However, the grip middle 212 is not fixed and can rotate freely around the rod 22, so gaps 214 are provided in front of and behind the grip middle 212. By adopting this structure, when the grip end 213 is rotated in the circumferential direction while the grip middle 212 is being held, the spring fork 4 fitted to the tip of the rod 22 also rotates in the same direction. Therefore, it is possible to roast the food stabbed on the spring fork 4 while rotating it over the fire.
[0025] Also, by passing a strap through the gap 214 between the grip middle 212 and the grip end 213, the blowtorch 1 with a multi-functional joint can be hooked onto an object.
[0026] The rod 22 is composed of a first rod 221, a second rod 222, a third rod 223, and a fourth rod 224. Connecting parts 225 are provided at the ends of each rod, and the structure is such that they are slidable and cannot come off, so it can be extended and contracted. The specific structure of the connecting part 225 is not particularly limited, and a known structure can be adopted. For example, a known structure used in a fishing rod or a rod antenna can be used. For example, a structure in which a pair of semi-cylindrical sliding springs are inserted between the sliding surfaces of two adjacent rods, that is, between the inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter rod and the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter rod (see, for example, Patent Document 2) can be mentioned.
[0027] When used as a blowtorch, by blowing air into the inside of the first rod 221 from the end on the grip end 213 side of the grip 21, air passes through the inside of the second rod 222, the third rod 223, and the fourth rod 224 as flow paths, and air is blown out from the tip of the joint 3.
[0028] In the case of this embodiment, the grip 21 is made of, for example, wood, and is manufactured by a processing method of bonding a thin sheet-like veneer to a curved surface while humidifying it, or by a cutting processing method such as boring or lathe processing of a wood block. For example, the outer diameter is about 15 mmφ to 30 mmφ, the total length is about 100 mm to 200 mm, the lengths of the grip top 211 and the grip end 213 are about 10 mm to 20 mm, the length of the grip middle 212 is 80 to 160 mm, and more preferably, the outer diameter is 20 mmφ, the lengths of the grip top 211 and the grip end 213 are 15 mm, and the length of the grip middle 212 is about 120 mm. Also, the inner diameter only needs to be large enough to be inserted into the outer diameter of the first rod 221 when fixing like the grip top 211 and the grip end 213, and it is better to be slightly larger when making it rotatable like the grip middle 212. Since it only needs to be able to insulate and grip the heat from the rod 22, it is not limited to wood and may be made of various resins.
[0029] Also, in the case of this embodiment, the rod 22 uses a commercially available hollow stainless steel straight pipe with a wall thickness of 0.2 to 0.3 mm. By folding the tip of each rod and processing a groove (stopper) or flare at the rear end so that the large-diameter rod does not come out of the small-diameter rod, and inserting a sliding spring made of phosphor bronze with a plate thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm (not shown) between the rods, it forms a multi-stage structure. The first rod 221 is, for example, an outer diameter of 9 mmφ × length of 195 mm, the second rod 222 is, for example, an outer diameter of 8 mmφ × length of 194 mm, the third rod 223 is, for example, an outer diameter of 7 mmφ × length of 190 mm, the fourth rod 224 is, for example, an outer diameter of 6 mmφ × length of 211.5 mm, and by setting the length of the connecting part 225 to about 15 mm, the total length of the rod 22 during storage and extension as described above can be obtained. Note that a tapered pipe may be used for the pipe used for the rod 22, and the material may also be made of aluminum, carbon fiber, etc.
[0030] Figure 3 is a drawing related to the joint according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 3(A) is an enlarged one-sided cross-sectional perspective view of the periphery of the joint according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 3(B) is an enlarged one-sided cross-sectional perspective view of the joint according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 3(C) is an enlarged one-sided cross-sectional view of the joint according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 3(D) is an enlarged perspective view of the joint according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0031] As shown in Figure 3(A), the fourth rod 224 is inserted into the joint 3, and the joint 3 is arranged along the axis 91 of the rod 22, and the cross-section is cut by a horizontal plane 92 passing through the axis 91 and a vertical plane (not shown).
[0032] As shown in Figures 3(B) and 3(C), the joint 3 is composed of a joint body 31, a cylindrical portion 32, a rod tip contact portion 33, a throttle portion 34, a blowout port 35, a through groove 36, and a fixing screw portion 37. As shown in Figure 3(C), the fourth rod 224 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 32 of the joint 3, and with its tip in contact with the rod tip contact portion 33, the joint 3 is fixed to the fourth rod 224 by screwing a male screw externally onto the fixing screw portion 37 where a female screw is formed.
[0033] The air that has passed through the flow path inside the fourth rod 224 is pressurized once immediately before the throttle portion 34 and depressurized suddenly immediately after passing through, so that the air accelerated from the blowout port 35 blows out vigorously in a narrow range and can be efficiently sent to the target location.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 3(C) and 3(D), the width w' of the through groove 36 is the same as or slightly wider than the thickness w of the wire of the spring fork 4 described later. Also, the pair of through grooves 36 are arranged symmetrically about the axis 91 and are formed with a shift of δ in the front-rear direction in the axial direction. The pair of through grooves 36 are for fitting the spring fork 4 described later, and the amount of shift is based on the thickness w of the wire of the spring fork 4. This will be described in detail in the description of the spring fork 4.
[0035] In the case of this embodiment, the joint 3 is made of brass and manufactured by a cutting process, and is preferably 20 mm to 25 mm in length, 10 mmφ to 15 mmφ in outer diameter, 6 mmφ to 6.1 mmφ in inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 32, 3 mmφ to 4 mmφ in inner diameter of the constriction portion 34, more preferably 3.6 mmφ, and about 9 mmφ in inner diameter of the outlet 35. When the thickness w of the wire of the spring fork 4 is 2 mm, the width w' of the through groove 36 is 2 mm to 2.1 mm, the amount of shift δ in the front-rear direction of the through groove 36 is about 2 mm to 2.4 mm, and the fixing screw portion 37 is about M3×0.5.
[0036] In FIG. 3, the outer diameter of the outlet 35 is drawn slightly larger than the outer diameter of the joint body 31, and the outer diameter of the rear end portion of the joint body 31 is drawn slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the joint body 31, but they may all have the same outer diameter without any problem. Also, the fixing screw portion 37 may be fixed by inserting a rivet from the outside into a hole in which a female screw is not formed and then caulking.
[0037] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the spring fork according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4(A) is an enlarged one-sided cross-sectional perspective view of the periphery of the spring fork according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4(B) is an enlarged perspective view of the spring fork according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4(C) is an enlarged plan view of the spring fork according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4(D) is an enlarged front view of the spring fork according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0038] As shown in Fig. 4(A), the spring fork 4 is fitted into the through groove 36 of the joint 3, arranged along the axis 91 of the rod 22, and the cross-section is cut by a horizontal plane 92 passing through the axis 91 and a vertical plane (not shown).
[0039] As shown in Fig. 4(B), the spring fork 4 is composed of a spring part 41, a handle part 42, a fitting part 43, and a piercing part 44.
[0040] As shown in Fig. 4(C), the spring part 41 is composed of a single torsion coil spring. A pair of handle parts 42 are connected to both ends of the spring part 41 respectively. Further, a pair of fitting parts 43 are connected to the respective ends of the handle parts 42, and finally, a pair of piercing parts 44 are connected to the respective ends of the fitting parts 43. Since the pair of fitting parts 43 are bent in an arc shape of about 1 / 2 turn on both the left and right and intersect near the axis 91, the starting positions where they are connected to the left and right piercing parts 44 are shifted by δ in the direction of the axis 91. The shift amount δ is the sum of the thickness w of the wire rod and a slight gap α between the left and right fitting parts 43. Also, the tip of the piercing part 44 spreads slightly outward at an angle φ.
[0041] And as shown in Fig. 4(D), in this embodiment, the piercing part 44 is configured to deviate from the horizontal plane 92 through which the axis 91 of the rod 22 passes and be arranged parallel along the axis 91. With this configuration, the air blown out from the outlet 35 of the joint 3 can reach the target location without being blocked by the food even when the food is pierced by the pair of piercing parts 44.
[0042] In the case of this embodiment, it is manufactured by bending a stainless steel wire rod with a thickness w of 2 mmφ using an NC multi-forming machine or the like, and has an overall length of 120 mm to 130 mm, a maximum width of 40 mm to 50 mm, and a height of 19 mm to 23 mm. More preferably, the overall length is about 124 mm, the maximum width is about 45 mm, and the height is about 20 mm. The bending of the spring portion 41 and the fitting portion 43 is about 15 mmφ in inner diameter, and is about 1 turn and 1 / 2 turn respectively. The length of the handle portion 42 is 45 mm to 50 mm, more preferably about 48 mm, and the length of the piercing portion 44 is 70 mm to 80 mm, more preferably about 75 mm. About 9 mm at the tip of the pair of piercing portions 44 spreads outward with an inclination of 15° from the axis 91 to one side.
[0043] Next, the usage method of Example 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. When storing as shown in FIG. 1(A), the rod 22 (FIG. 2) is in the shortest state. In the figure, the fitting portion 43 of the spring fork 4 is fitted in the through groove 36 of the joint 3, but by pulling out the spring fork 4 once and passing the piercing portion 44 side through the joint 3 in the order of the fitting portion 43 and the spring portion 41 toward the blowtorch 2, it can be stored and stored in a short time without taking up much space, safely, and without much effort.
[0044] When using it as the blowtorch 2, the length of the rod 22 of the blowtorch 2 may be adjusted as appropriate as shown in FIGS. 1(A) to 1(C). The length can be adjusted instantaneously. The spring fork 4 may be removed, or it may be in a state of being fitted to the joint 3 as shown in the figure. Then, when bringing the mouth close to the end of the rod 22 of the grip end 213 in FIG. 2 and blowing air, the air finally blows out from the outlet 35 of the joint 3 using the cavities inside the first rod 221 to the fourth rod 224 as flow paths.
[0045] When used as a barbecue fork, the fitting portion 43 of the spring fork 4 can be firmly fixed by the force of the spring portion 41 by fitting it into the through groove 36 of the joint 3, so that it is possible to pierce the food with the piercing portion 44. The spring fork 4 can be instantaneously detached from and attached to the joint 3.
[0046] Also, when the grip middle 212 is held with one hand and the grip end 213 is rotated in the circumferential direction with the other hand, the entire rod 22 rotates. Therefore, the food pierced by the piercing portion 44 also rotates, and the food can be roasted evenly.
[0047] Further, if the food is small like marshmallows, small fish, or long and thin like a sausage, since the piercing portion 44 is offset from the axis 91 of the rod 22, it can be used as a blowtorch 2 while piercing the food as it is.
[0048] Thus, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the above configuration, storage and assembly can be performed in a short time without taking much time and without being bulky, and a blowtorch with a multifunctional joint that can combine the function as a blowtorch and the function as a barbecue fork can be provided. <Modification>
[0049] Next, a modification of the blowtorch 1 with a multifunctional joint according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5(A) is a front view of a blowtorch with a multifunctional joint equipped with the members according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5(B) is a front view of a blowtorch with a multifunctional joint equipped with the members according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5(C) is a front view of a blowtorch with a multifunctional joint equipped with the members according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5(D) is a front view of a blowtorch with a multifunctional joint equipped with the members according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Note that since the basic configuration and functions of the blowtorch with a multifunctional joint in the modification example are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. Further, Fig. 5(A) shows again the blowtorch 1 with a multifunctional joint equipped with the spring fork 4 according to the first embodiment as a member to be fitted to the joint 3 for comparison with Figs. 5(B) to 5(D).
[0050] Fig. 5(B) shows the blowtorch 1 with a multifunctional joint equipped with the spring fork 4 in which the piercing portion 44 passes through a horizontal plane 92 passing through the axis 91 of the rod 22 and is arranged in parallel along the axis 91 as a member to be fitted to the through groove 36 of the joint 3 according to the second embodiment. The spring fork 4 of the second embodiment differs in configuration from the spring fork 4 of the first embodiment in that the arrangement of the piercing portion 44 is different. By adopting the above configuration, when piercing foodstuffs such as small fish and sausages across the pair of piercing portions 44, the air blown out from the outlet 35 of the joint 3 is blocked. However, when piercing small foodstuffs such as marshmallows on each of the piercing portions 44, the air can be blown out through there, so that the function as a blowtorch can be used in combination.
[0051] Fig. 5(C) shows the blowtorch 1 with a multifunctional joint equipped with the spring fork 4 in which the piercing portion 44 is deviated from the axis 91 of the rod 22 and is arranged at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the axis 91 as a member to be fitted to the through groove 36 of the joint 3 according to the third embodiment. The spring fork 4 of the third embodiment differs in configuration from the spring forks 4 of the first and second embodiments in that the arrangement of the piercing portion 44 is different. By adopting the above configuration, the possibility of blocking the air blown out from the outlet 35 of the joint 3 is further reduced, so that the function of the barbecue fork can be used more effectively in addition to the function of the blowtorch.
[0052] Fig. 5(D) shows a blowtorch 1 with a multi-functional joint equipped with a spring fire scraper 5 as a member to be fitted into the through groove 36 of the joint 3 according to Example 4. The member of Example 4 is different in configuration from the spring fork 4 of Examples 1 to 3 in that it is a spring fire scraper 5. Similar to the spring fork 4 of Example 1, the spring fire scraper 5 of Example 4 is composed of a spring portion 41, a handle portion 42, a fitting portion 43, and a fire scraping portion 54. The fire scraping portion 54 is arranged at a predetermined angle ψ with respect to the axis 91. By adopting the above configuration, in addition to the function of the blowtorch, the function of scraping ash and burnt shells can be used in combination.
[0053] As described above, the form of the joint for the multi-functional blowtorch according to the embodiments of the present invention and the blowtorch with a multi-functional joint adopting the joint have been shown and described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. A person skilled in the art can make various changes and improvements to the configuration and function of the invention according to the above embodiments or other embodiments without departing from the gist of the present invention.
[0054] For example, according to the embodiment of the present invention, an example has been described in which the inner diameters of the bending processes of the spring portion 41 and the fitting portion 43 of the spring fork 4 are the same 15 mmφ. However, only the inner diameter of the bending process of the fitting portion 43 may be further increased. As a result, the piercing portion 44 will deviate further from the horizontal plane 92, so the possibility of blocking the air blown out from the outlet 35 of the joint 3 regardless of the food being pierced is further reduced. Therefore, in addition to the function of the blowtorch, the function of the barbecue fork can be used more effectively in combination.
[0055] Also, for example, on the premise that the fire scraping portion 54 of the spring fire scraper 5 exists separately as a pair similar to the piercing portion 44 of the spring fork 4, one tip may be in a hook shape and hooked on the other to form a structure that can be fixed, and the function as a fire scraper can be exerted more firmly.
