Abstract

To provide a one-handed hanging tool for a two-handed pot, which prevents the two-handed pot that has been used up until now from shifting sideways, prevents the contents from spilling due to movement, and prevents burns if the contents are hot, and enables the two-handed pot to be safely hung and used with one hand when one hand cannot be used due to an accident or illness. [Solution] The device consists of two hanging plates with two protrusions, one pipe hole, and one screw hole, one pipe, and two male screws. After the hanging plates are passed over the handle of a pot with two handles, the pipe is passed through the two pipe holes and then pulled up together with the hanging plates. The two male screws prevent the pipe and hanging plates from falling and suppress lateral shifting.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This relates to a self-help device that enables a person who is unable to use one hand due to an accident or illness to move a pot with two handles. [Background technology]

[0002] A device for safely hanging a pot with two handles has been invented, but it is the type that is attached to the body of the pot under the handle. There was no device for safely hanging a pot with two handles that was attached to the handle. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Mito 3240564 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To propose a one-handed hanging tool for a two-handed pot, which prevents the two-handed pot that has been used up until now from shifting sideways, prevents the pot from moving and spilling its contents, and prevents burns if the contents are hot, and enables the two-handed pot to be safely hung and used with one hand when one hand cannot be used due to an accident or illness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This one-handed hanging tool for a pot with two handles is made up of two hanging plates each having two projections, one pipe hole, and one screw hole, one pipe, and two male screws, and after the plates are passed through the handle of a pot with two handles, the pipe is passed through the two pipe holes and then pulled up together with the hanging plate, and the two male screws prevent the pipe and hanging plate from falling and suppress lateral displacement. Effect of the Invention

[0006] With this hanging device, even if one hand is lost due to an accident or illness, the pot can be easily removed from the storage location and moved to the heat source or sink. Using the functions of the usable part of the body can help the user become independent, prevent the decline of physical function, and potentially reduce the burden on care staff. The pipes of the holder in this device can be threaded to prevent them from falling out, but if bamboo with joints is used, the number of threads can be reduced as lateral slippage along the center line of the bamboo tube is limited. This can contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and the elimination of abandoned bamboo forests. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of the present invention, before being inserted from under a pot with a handle. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of the present invention, after it has been inserted from under a pot with a handle. [Figure 4] This is a perspective view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of the present invention, after being inserted from under a pot with a handle and before a bamboo tube has been passed through. [Diagram 5] This is a perspective view of one embodiment of a plate that is a part of the hanging device of this invention, inserted from under a pot with two handles, and then one end of a bamboo tube passed through it. [Figure 6] This is a perspective view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of this invention, inserted from under a pot with two handles and then passed through both ends of a bamboo tube. [Figure 7] This is a perspective view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of this invention, inserted from under a pot with two handles, passing both ends of a bamboo tube through it, and pulling the bamboo tube up together with the hanging plate, before passing the male screw through. [Figure 8] This is an oblique view of one embodiment of a hanging plate, which is a part of the hanging device of this invention, inserted from under a pot with two handles, passing both ends of a bamboo tube through it, pulling up the bamboo tube together with the hanging plate, and screwing the male screw in to the appropriate depth, so that the bamboo tube and hanging plate will not fall. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] If the hanging board is made of burnt cedar, it will be water resistant. It will be easy to disassemble and clean, and to replace parts. It will also be easy to dispose of it if it is damaged or deteriorated. The material is not limited to bamboo or burnt cedar. If a screw hole of the appropriate size is drilled, female screws will not be necessary. EXAMPLES

[0009] A 1.5cm thick, 6.5cm wide, and 22cm long cedar board was cut to have two 2cm wide, 1cm high protrusions, holes for the pipes and screw holes were drilled, and the boards were burnt to create the hanging boards. One hanging board was placed on each handle of a 20cm diameter two-handled pot from below, and a 2.1cm diameter, 30cm long bamboo tube with two nodes was placed through each of the holes for the pipes. The bamboo tube was then pulled up together with the hanging board, and it was confirmed that the hanging board could be prevented from falling with two nylon male screws, and that the bamboo tube would not come out even if it was shifted toward the center line of the bamboo tube. It was confirmed that the completed hanging pot could be moved with one hand when cooking boiled eggs or oden. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] If the hanging device of this invention is used, when one hand cannot be used due to an accident or illness, the two-handled pot that has been used until now can be prevented from sliding sideways, and the contents can be safely hung with one hand without the risk of spilling due to sideways sliding or getting burned if the contents are hot. By using the functions of the usable parts of the body, it is possible to help the user become independent, prevent the decline of physical function, and reduce the burden on care staff, so demand is expected to be strong in homes and elderly care facilities.

Claims

[Claim 1] This one-handed hanging tool for a pot with two handles is made up of two hanging plates each having two projections, one pipe-through hole, and one screw hole, one pipe, and two male screws, and is used to pass the plates through the handle of a pot with two handles, pass the pipe through the two pipe-through holes, and pull up the pipe together with the hanging plate, preventing the pipe and hanging plate from falling with the two male screws, and suppressing lateral displacement.
