Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a folding trivet. [Background technology]

[0002] As a trivet for use in outdoor cooking such as camping, an assembly type has been proposed for ease of portability, as described in Patent Document 1. Patent Document 2 also proposes stacking multiple trivets one above the other to enable different heating power adjustments. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-35732 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-14707 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the trivet described in Patent Document 1 is designed to place a kettle or the like on the edge, which not only limits the size of the kettle or the like that can be placed on it, but also makes the state in which it is placed unstable. On the other hand, the trivet described in Patent Document 2 is not designed to be disassembled or folded. Furthermore, price competition for these types of products is fierce, and it is not possible to simply raise production costs in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention was made in response to the above-mentioned conventional problems, and aims to provide a new and useful folding trivet that can be used in combination with a plurality of members of the same shape, can be folded to be compact when not in use, and can stably hold a kettle or the like when in use, even if it has a certain width. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the top surface member is three-dimensionally formed by punching and bending a single sheet of plate material. The top surface member has an edge surface portion bent in the width direction at the middle of the length direction of the band-shaped portion so as to have an L-shaped cross section perpendicular to the length direction, locking claw portions partially separated from the edge surface portion via notches or cutouts extending from one end in the width direction to the other end at both ends in the length direction so as to have an I-shaped cross section perpendicular to the length direction, link holes provided between the locking claw portions and the other end in the width direction, and the cutouts of the edge surface portion. The folding trivet has an insertion guide portion and an insertion shaft that extend from one side separated by a cut or the like toward the orthogonal direction at a distance in the longitudinal direction, and is linked together using the link hole, so that the top panel members are prevented from rotating on the longitudinal side by the locking claw portion of one top panel member hitting the edge of the edge surface portion of the other top panel member, and on the orthogonal side, the insertion shaft is inserted into the insertion guide portion and connected to form a flat top plate, thereby forming a foldable top panel.

[0007] Preferably, a short central member consisting of locking claw portions at both longitudinal ends of the top panel member and an edge surface portion only near the locking claw portions is linked and connected in place of the top panel member, and when the top panel is folded, the edge surface portion of the central member becomes the spine portion.

[0008] Preferably, the insertion depth of the insertion shaft inserted into the insertion guide portion of the top surface member is adjustable relative to the insertion guide portion. Preferably, by bending, the insertion hole of the insertion guide portion faces the orthogonal direction, and the insertion axis is positioned in the insertion direction of the insertion hole.

[0009] Preferably, the locking claw portion of the top panel member is partially separated from the edge surface portion via a notch, and the leg portion is formed by linking together leg members that are three-dimensionally formed by punching and bending a single sheet of plate material, and the leg members have a locking claw portion extending from one end of the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped portion and standing up in the same direction, a locking side link hole provided on the base end side of the locking claw portion, a receiving side link hole provided on the other end side of the longitudinal direction, and an insertion hole provided on the one end side of the longitudinal direction near the receiving side link hole, and the leg members are linked together using the link holes, and one locking claw portion of one leg member is inserted into the insertion hole of the other leg member to clamp the other leg member together with the other locking claw portion, thereby preventing rotation, and the leg members are linked together to the top panel member using the link holes, and one locking claw portion of the leg member fits into the notch and clamps the top panel member together with the other locking claw portion, thereby preventing rotation.

[0010] Preferably, one longitudinal end of the strip-shaped portion of the leg member extends in the width direction, and the other locking claw portion extends in the length direction from the extended portion, and on the same width side, the other longitudinal end side has a recess between the link hole and the insertion hole, and the leg members are connected in a nearly straight state when unfolded, with the other locking claw portion of one leg member locking into the recess of the other leg member.

[0011] Preferably, when the leg portions are folded, the leg members are overlapped against the edge surface of the top surface member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the folding trivet of the present invention, the number of types of parts can be reduced by combining and using members of the same shape, thereby reducing manufacturing costs, and it can be made as compact as possible when not in use, while at the same time, when in use, it can stably hold a kettle or the like even if it has a certain width.

[0014] A folding trivet 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Each component of the folding trivet 1 shown in Figure 1 is formed three-dimensionally by punching out the outline from a single 1.5 mm thick stainless steel plate and bending it at predetermined locations. The front-to-back, left-to-right, up-to-down directions shown in Figure 1 are defined as the front-to-back, left-to-right, up-to-down directions of the folding trivet 1.

[0015] The main part of the top plate 3 is made up of a top surface member 5 . As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the top panel member 5 has U-shaped notches 9, 9 cut out from one widthwise end to the other at equal positions from the edge of both longitudinal ends of the band-shaped portion 7. The edge of this notch 9 is located closer to one end than the widthwise center of the band-shaped portion 7. The contour of the top panel member 5 outward from the notch 9 in the longitudinal direction is curved, and the contour of the one widthwise end, together with part of the contour of the notch 9, forms an inverted U shape. This inverted U-shaped portion forms the locking claw portion 11. The contour of the other widthwise end bulges outward in a semicircular arc. A circular link hole 13 is punched out to resemble this arc. When viewed in the widthwise direction, this link hole 13 straddles the locking claw portion 11 and the notch 9.

[0016] Between the notches 9, 9, the strip-shaped portion 7 is bent almost perpendicularly to the width direction, so that the cross section perpendicular to the length direction is L-shaped. This L-shaped cross section forms the edge surface portion 15. The bent portion 15a is located on one end side of the center line in the width direction, and one side 15b is shorter in width than the other side 15c. The locking claw portion 11 has an I-shaped cross section in contrast to the L-shaped cross section of the edge surface portion 15, and is separated from the edge surface portion 15 by the notch 9 while continuing to the edge surface portion 15 through the remaining portion. In addition, the top of the locking claw portion 11 exceeds one surface 15b of the edge surface portion 15. The band-shaped portion 7 is bilaterally symmetrical when viewed in the width direction.

[0017] Two plate materials with different contours extend perpendicularly from one side 15b of the edge surface portion 15, spaced apart along the length of the strip-shaped portion 7, with one plate material forming the insertion guide portion 17 and the other plate material forming the insertion axis 19.

[0018] The insertion guide portion 17 has a pair of parallel, narrow strip-shaped portions 17a, 17a on one side 15b, which join at their tips to form a tapered triangular portion 17b. A horizontally elongated flap 17c is connected to the base of the triangular portion 17b, and a horizontally elongated rectangular insertion hole 17d is formed in the flap 17c in a shape similar to the outline of the flap. The apex of the triangular portion 17b extends via a narrow strip-shaped portion 17e to a rectangular tip portion 17f that is enlarged in the width direction. A horizontally elongated rectangular insertion hole 17g is also formed in the tip portion 17f in a shape similar to the outline of the tip portion 17f. The connecting sides of flap 17c and tip portion 17f are both bent almost vertically in the same direction. Insertion holes 17d and 17g are the same size, and when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of band-shaped portion 7, the edges of the holes are aligned in the front-to-rear direction with each other.

[0019] The insertion shaft 19 has a narrow strip-shaped portion 19a on one side 15b, and a narrow, arrowhead-shaped tip portion 19b at its tip. The narrow strip portion 19a is bent twice in the width direction on the side connected to the surface 15b, and the plate surface of the insertion shaft 19 forms a stepped surface that is substantially parallel to the surface 15b. The insertion shaft 19 is lower than the surface 15b.

[0020] The auxiliary portion of the top plate 3 is composed of a central member 21. This central member 21 is composed of the locking claw portions 11, 11 of the top surface member 5 and the edge surface portion 25 only near the locking claw portions 11, 11, and is a short member in which the insertion guide portion 17 and the insertion shaft 19 are omitted.

[0021] The top plate 3 is made up of eight top surface members 5 and two central members 21 linked together, and can be unfolded into a rectangular flat plate. 1 and 4, two top surface members 5, 5 are arranged on the left side of the front central member 21, and are lined up in the left-right direction so that one side 15b of each strip-shaped portion 7, 7 is connected to the other side 15b, and one side 15c of each strip-shaped portion 7, 7 is connected to the other side 15c. However, the right end side of the left top surface member 5(L) and the left end side of the right top surface member 5(R) overlap in the front-to-back direction so that the former is located at the rear, and their respective link holes 13 are aligned.

[0022] A link pin 23 is inserted into this link hole 13 from the front and crimped to link and connect them in a pivotable manner. At this time, the left top panel member 5 is positioned rearward of the right top panel member 5 by the plate thickness, so that the right locking claw 11 of the left top panel member 5 abuts and locks against the edge of the notch 9 on one side 15b of the edge surface portion 15 of the right top panel member 5, preventing clockwise rotation of the left top panel member 5 relative to the right top panel member 5. In this blocked position, the one side 15b of the left top panel member 5 and the one side 15b of the right top panel member 5 are substantially straight and aligned in the left-right direction. On the other hand, counterclockwise rotation of the left top panel member 5 relative to the right top panel member 5 is not restricted, and the edge surfaces of the respective sides 15c come together, forming a folded shape.

[0023] The top surface member 5 on the right side is linked and connected as described above, and the top surface member 5 on the left side is connected as the top surface member 5 on the right side, and the central member 21 is connected to the right side in the same manner. Similarly, two top surface members 5, 5 are linked and connected to the right side of the central member 21. However, they are linked and connected symmetrically, and on the right side of the central member 21, the right top surface member 5 is prevented from rotating counterclockwise relative to the left top surface member 5. In addition, the right top surface member 5 is prevented from rotating counterclockwise relative to the central member 21. The top members 5, 5 are folded in half on both the left and right sides of the central member 21, and are also folded back toward the central member 21, with the edge surface 25 of the central member 21 forming the spine.

[0024] On the rear side, the top surface members 5 are linked together and the top surface member 5 and the central member 21 are linked together. The top panel members 5, 5, central member 21, top panel member 5, and top panel member 5 are linked and connected together and are lined up in the front-to-back direction, and the top panel members 5, 5 face each other in the front-to-back direction. At this time, the top panel members 5 are lined up so that one surface 15b of each top panel member 5 faces upward, the insertion guide portion 17 and insertion shaft 19 on the front top panel member 5 side extend rearward, and the insertion guide portion 17 and insertion shaft 19 on the rear top panel member 5 side extend forward, and when the front central member 21 and the rear central member 21 are aligned in the front-to-back direction, the insertion shaft 19 on the other side is positioned in the insertion direction of the insertion holes 17g and 17d of the insertion guide portion 17 on one side in the opposing direction, and the insertion shaft 19 is inserted into the insertion holes 17g and 17d, thereby linking the front and rear top panel members 5, 5.

[0025] The size of the insertion holes 17g and 17d is slightly larger than the size of the insertion shaft 19 in the insertion direction, so that the insertion depth can be adjusted by moving the insertion shaft 19 in the insertion direction. The insertion shaft 19 can be moved relative to the insertion guide portion 17 until the insertion shaft 19 contacts one surface 15c of the edge surface portion 15. In the unfolded state, the top panel 3 is a large, flat rectangle. The top surface member 5-top surface member 5-central member 21-top surface member 5-top surface member 5 in the left-right direction forms the long side direction, and the top surface member 5-top surface member 5 in the front-rear direction forms the short side direction, and the size of the short side direction can be changed by moving the insertion shaft 19 described above relative to the insertion guide portion 17.

[0026] The leg portion 27 is made up of a plurality of leg members 29 . 5 and 6, the contour of the plate thickness surface at one end in the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped portion 31 of the leg member 29 extends and is shifted in one direction in the width direction relative to the middle. The contour at one side in the width direction is inclined linearly, and the contour at the other side in the width direction is inclined in a convex curve, and in both cases the shift becomes larger toward one end in the longitudinal direction. The tip end surface of this inclined portion is notched in a U-shape in the middle in the width direction, and both sides of notch 33 extend relatively to form locking claws 35, 37. The tops of both locking claws 35, 37 are semicircular arc-shaped. Locking claw 35 is located on the linearly inclined side, and locking claw 37 is located on the convexly inclined side. Locking claw 37 is thinner and shorter than locking claw 35.

[0027] The locking claw portions 35 and 37 are bent at their respective base ends and both stand almost vertically toward the same plate surface side of the strip-shaped portion 31, but the bent portion on the locking claw portion 37 side is more gently bent than the bent portion on the locking claw portion 35 side. A link hole 39 is provided in the inclined portion of the band-shaped portion 31. This link hole 39 has the same size as the link hole 13 provided in the top surface member 5. The link hole 39 is slightly biased towards the convex curved surface side.

[0028] The outline of the thickness surface in the width direction of the other end in the length direction of the band-shaped portion 31 is a convex semicircular arc surface. Furthermore, the thickness surface on one side in the width direction of the band-shaped portion 31 is shallowly recessed to form a concave curved surface 41. A link hole 43 is provided on the other end side in the length direction of this concave curved surface 41. This link hole 43 is also the same size as the link hole 13 provided in the top surface member 5. The link hole 43 and the link hole 39 are located at the same position in the width direction of the band-shaped portion 31 and face each other in the length direction. A circular insertion hole 45 is provided adjacent to the link hole 43 in the longitudinal direction. This insertion hole 45 extends beyond the concave curved surface 41 and is closer to the center in the longitudinal direction.

[0029] The leg portion 27 is made up of three leg members 29 linked together so that it can be deployed in the form of a long shaft. 1 and 7, on the front left side, one longitudinal end of the lower leg member 29(L) and the other longitudinal end of the upper leg member 29(M) overlap in the front-to-rear direction so that the link hole 39 of the lower leg member 29(L) is at the back, and the link holes 39 and 43 are aligned. The link pin 23 is inserted from the front into these link holes 39, 43 and pivotally crimped to form a link connection. In addition, the locking claw portion 37 of the lower leg member 29(L) enters the insertion hole 45 of the upper leg member 29(M), and the locking claw portion 35 abuts against the concave curved surface 41 and is locked. Therefore, the upper leg member 29(M) is sandwiched from both the left and right sides by the locking claws 35, 37 of the lower leg member 29(L), preventing relative rotation between the lower leg member 29(L) and the upper leg member 29(M) and forming a single rigid axis. The leg member 29 is relatively thin, and by utilizing the elasticity inherent to metal, the locking claws 37 side are elastically retracted, allowing the plate surface of the upper leg member 29 to slide, allowing it to enter the insertion hole 45.

[0030] The three leg members 29(L), 29(M), and 29(U) are linked together as described above. The uppermost leg member 29(U) has its locking claw 37 inserted into the notch 9 on the left end of the leftmost top panel member 5, and its locking claw 35 abuts and locks against the locking claw 11. That is, the notch 9 and locking claw 11 of the top panel member 5 have contours that correspond to the insertion hole 45 and concave curved surface 41 of the leg member 29. The legs 27 are similarly linked and attached to the corners of the top plate 3, with the locking claw 35 at the left corner projecting outward to the left, and the locking claw 35 at the right corner projecting outward to the right.

[0031] In this way, the tabletop 3 is lifted and supported by the legs 27, 27, 27, 27, and the tabletop 3 cannot be folded in half. Furthermore, the leg members 29(L), 29(M), and 29(U) of the legs 27 are rigidly connected, and the tabletop member 5 is rigidly connected to the uppermost leg member 29(U), so that the tabletop 3 is in a stable horizontal position as shown in Figure 1. In this folding trivet 1, the leg members 29, 29 can be pivoted back by detaching the locking claws 37 from the insertion holes 45 and removing them from the plate surface, so that the height of the leg 27 can be shortened by making the lowest leg member 29(L) pivotable and overlapping the plate surfaces of the lowest leg member 29(L) and the middle leg member 29(M) as shown in Figure 10. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, the height of the leg 27 can be shortened by making the lowest leg member 29(L) and the middle leg member 29(M) pivotable and overlapping the plate surfaces of the lowest leg member 29(L), the middle leg member 29(M) and the uppermost leg member 29(U). In FIG. 11, the plate surfaces of the leg members 29(L), 29(M), and 29(U) are neatly overlapped, but they do not necessarily have to be overlapped.

[0032] The folding trivet 1 is configured as described above, and the width of the tabletop 3 and the height of the legs 27 can be adjusted. It can also be folded to reduce the size to that of a single top surface member 5. As shown in Figure 8, the leg members 29(L), 29(M), 29(U) are pivotally folded together and placed against the edge surface 15 of the top surface member 5, and the top surface members 5 and 5 are folded and placed on top of each other on both the left and right sides of the central member 21, and the top surface members 5, 5 and 5, 5 folded on the left and right sides are then folded and placed on top of each other with the central member 21 as the pivot. Furthermore, by maximizing the insertion depth of the insertion shaft 19, it can also be reduced in the width direction. From this folded state, the device can be returned to its unfolded state by reversing the above steps.

[0033] Therefore, when not in use, it can be made compact and does not take up much space when carried or stored. When in use, as described above, the size and height of the top plate 3 can be adjusted to make it three-dimensional, and as shown in Figures 9 to 11, items such as a kettle A, frying pan B, and hot sandwich maker C can be placed on the top plate 3, and heat sources such as an alcohol stove D, a gas burner E for CB cans, and a gas burner F for OD cans can be placed underneath the top plate 3. The stove is equipped with a trivet, but by using a foldable trivet 1 instead of the built-in trivet, items can be placed stably without having to worry about their size. Furthermore, the top plate 3 is made up of a combination of a plurality of top surface members 5, the legs 27 are made up of a combination of a plurality of leg members 29, and the only separate members are the central member 21 and the link pin 23, so the number of types of parts is reduced, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the invention also includes design changes within the scope of the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the number of combined top surface members 5 is eight in the above embodiment, but it does not need to be symmetrical on both the left and right sides of the central member 21, and can be increased or decreased separately on the left and right sides. Furthermore, the insertion guide portion 17 of the top surface member 5 and the portion of the insertion shaft 19 extending from the strip-shaped portion 7 may be moved to one side in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the other side is left open, so if the top surface member 5 of the top plate 3 in Fig. 1 is modified in this way, the portion where the insertion shaft 19 is inserted into the insertion guide portion 17 and is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the central member 21 will be moved away from the central portion 21, and the gap open in the vertical direction on both the left and right sides of the central member 21 will be larger.
