Measuring spoon

Abstract

To provide a measuring spoon that can measure various quantities with a single spoon during cooking. [Solution] A measuring spoon comprising a handle and a spoon portion, wherein the spoon portion is constructed by providing multiple spoon portions in a nearly straight line from one end of the handle. As a result, multiple measuring spoons are not necessary, and the number of spoon portions embedded in the powder is determined by the depth to which the measuring spoon is inserted, and the amount that can be scooped is determined, so measuring can be done in one scoop without having to measure multiple times, thus saving time and effort.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a measuring spoon that can measure various amounts with a single measuring spoon during cooking.

Background Art

[0002] Measuring spoons include small spoons, medium spoons, and large spoons, and it is difficult to store them all together. Also, during measurement, when a double amount of a spoonful is required, multiple measurement operations are necessary, and when an equal-divided amount is required, it is divided by eye measurement, etc. The measurement work is a troublesome task and has been a burden in cooking. There are various spoons in the market to solve this problem, but each has its drawbacks.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a measuring spoon that can measure various amounts with a single measuring spoon.

[0005] As disclosed in Patent Document 1, for those provided with a partition part, when inserting into and scooping up powders, it is difficult to accurately measure because it may exceed the target partition part and be more than the target amount when scooping up, or it can only be scooped up to the front of the partition part and be less than the target amount.

[0006] Furthermore, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, adapter-type devices require the extra step of setting the adapter beforehand when weighing, and because they are composed of multiple parts, cleaning them to maintain cleanliness takes time.

[0007] Patent Document 3 describes a measuring spoon with various spoon-shaped sections. While this allows for direct pouring of liquid seasonings such as soy sauce and sake into the desired spoon section, it has the drawback of making it difficult to scoop out only the desired portion when using it with powders. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A measuring spoon comprising a handle and a spoon portion, characterized in that the spoon portion is configured such that a plurality of spoon portions of the same capacity are continuously provided in a substantially straight line from one end of the handle.

[0009] The aforementioned spoon portion is characterized by displaying the measured value. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] Since a single measuring spoon can be used for various measurements, multiple measuring spoons are unnecessary and one spoon can be used as a substitute.

[0011] Because multiple measuring spoons of the same size are positioned almost in a straight line, the number of spoons that are embedded in the powder is determined by the depth to which the measuring spoon is inserted, and thus the amount that can be scooped is determined. This allows for measuring in one scoop without having to measure multiple times, saving time and effort.

[0012] Furthermore, since each of the multiple measuring spoons is independent, their positions are easy to visually confirm, allowing for accurate measurement in tasks such as equal scaling or equal division.

[0013] Because it has no levers or other parts and a simple structure, it is easy to clean. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for carrying out the invention

[0015] A plurality of spoon parts of the same capacity, independent from the tip of the other end with one end of the measuring spoon as the handle part, are provided substantially in a straight line. More preferably, the measured values corresponding to the bottom or the upper edge part of the spoon part are displayed. The material is made of resin, stainless steel, metal, wood, etc., and is integrally formed.

[0016] As an embodiment of the present invention, for example, the spoon part 1 provided with 5 cc spoon parts 3a, 3b, 3c will be described. A 5 cc spoon part 3a is provided from the tip of one end of the handle part, and another 5 cc spoon part 3b of the same capacity is provided beside it, and still another 5 cc spoon part 3c of the same capacity is provided beside that. In this way, a measuring spoon with three spoon parts of 5 cc capacity is provided. More preferably, display parts 4a, 4b, 4c, which are measured values, are described on the bottoms of the spoon parts 3a, 3b, 3c respectively.

[0017] Next, the method of using the measuring spoon of the present invention will be described. Among the three 5 cc spoon parts, 5 cc can be measured by using the spoon part 3c, 10 cc can be measured by using the spoon part 3c and the spoon part 3b, and 15 cc can be measured by using the spoon part 3c, the spoon part 3b, and the spoon part 3a. They are respectively the same amount as a small spoon, a medium spoon, and a large spoon, and one can function as three measuring spoons.

[0018] In the above-described embodiment, the spoon part 3a was described as having a capacity of 5 cc, but it may also be a spoon part with a capacity of 10 cc, or 1.25 cc, etc. The capacity can be appropriately changed. Also, regarding the number of spoon parts, any number that is convenient to use according to the capacity of the spoon part 3a is acceptable.

[0019] Furthermore, in addition to the round shape, the shape of the spoon part may be any other shape as long as it is easy to scoop. FIG. 4 shows a measuring spoon with a spoon part in the shape of a square with rounded corners.
