Graduated rice measuring cup

Abstract

To provide a rice measuring cup that is a 3-go size and allows one rice measuring cup to be used to measure 1 go, 2 go, and 3 go at once. [Solution] There are multiple openings 4, 5 that can be opened and closed at heights 1 to 3 of preset measurement units, and a torsion coil spring 6 is attached to the openings to keep them always closed, and level measurement is performed at the set upper limit unit.If you want to measure in a set measurement unit other than the upper limit, you can hook your finger on a protrusion 8 for moving the opening of the unit you want to measure, open the opening to let the rice in the rice measuring cup out, and measure the rice in the set measurement unit.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a rice measuring cup that can easily measure rice one cup at a time. [Background technology]

[0002] Commercially available rice measuring cups are the size of one level cup. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-146191 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The problem to be solved is the time and effort required to repeatedly measure out the rice one cup at a time, which some households have to do in rice cookers that can cook one sho (1.8 L) of rice. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The main feature of this device is that it is a rice measuring cup that is sized to hold 3 cups of rice, but has an opening that can hold 1 or 2 cups of rice. Effect of the Invention

[0006] The rice measuring cup of this invention has the advantage that it can total three amounts in one measurement.

[0007] The advantage of combining 1 go, 2 go, and 3 go is that it reduces the number of times you measure.

[0008] The increase or decrease in the amount of three cups of rice is easier to visually determine than the amount of one cup of rice, which helps prevent counting errors. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] The goal of reducing the number of times rice needs to be measured out one cup at a time has been achieved by creating a measuring cup that can measure multiple unit amounts. EXAMPLES

[0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the device of the present invention in a state where the opening is closed, and 1 to 5 and 7 to 8 are the same as those in FIG.

[0013] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the opening of the device of the present invention in an open state for measuring two cups. [Industrial Applicability]

[0014] By changing the size of the rice measuring cup itself, it is possible to measure more than three cups of rice at a time.

[0015] By varying the spacing of the openings, it is possible to measure amounts other than 1 go units.

Claims

1. This rice measuring cup has multiple openings on the side of the main body that can be opened and closed at preset measurement unit heights, making it possible to measure rice in amounts other than just level.

2. A method for manufacturing a rice measuring cup in which the opening of claim 1 is always kept closed by the force of a torsion coil spring attached to the movable part, and the opening can be opened and closed by hooking a finger on a protrusion on the outside of the opening and pulling it to move the movable part.
