[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0011] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a spice holder according to one embodiment of the present invention, and this spice holder 1 has a box-shaped main body 5 having an opening 2 at the top.
[0012] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the main body 5 includes a front wall 6, a rear wall 7, a right side wall 8, a left side wall 9, and a bottom wall 10. As shown in FIG.
[0013] Further, on the outer side of the rear wall 7 of the main body 5, there is attached a hook 11 for hanging on a pocket provided on the inner side of the door of a refrigerator, for example.
[0014] The front wall 6, rear wall 7, right side wall 8, left side wall 9, bottom wall 10 and hook portion 11 are formed by integral molding of plastic, for example.
[0015] The front wall 6, the right side wall 8, the left side wall 9 and the bottom wall 10 are formed in a generally flat plate shape.
[0016] Furthermore, the rear wall 7 has a substantially upper half formed as a flat plate portion 12 having a flat plate shape, and a substantially lower half formed as an uneven portion (vertical portion) 13 having an uneven shape along the horizontal direction.
[0017] Furthermore, the rear wall portion 7 has a horizontal portion 14 at the boundary between the flat portion 12 and the uneven portion 13.
[0018] The horizontal portion 14 has a rear side connected to the lower end of the flat portion 12 and a front side connected to the upper end of the uneven portion 13 .
[0019] Therefore, the distance between the uneven portion 13 and the front wall portion 6 is narrower than the distance between the flat portion 12 and the front wall portion 6 , and the uneven portion 13 and the horizontal portion 14 form a step portion 15 within the main body 5 .
[0020] The uneven portion 13 also forms a plurality of recesses 16 in the main body 5, each of which has a substantially cylindrical surface shape along the vertical direction.
[0021] Furthermore, a partition portion 17 that separates the multiple recesses 16 is provided on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 14 , and this partition portion 17 is connected to the flat plate portion 12 of the rear wall portion 7 .
[0022] As shown in Figures 7 to 9, a first storage space 18 is defined between the recess 16 and the front wall 6 of the main body 5, a second storage space 19 is defined within the main body 5 above the horizontal portion 14 of the step portion 15, and a third storage space 20 is defined between the uneven portion 13 of the step portion 15 and the front wall 6 of the main body 5, and these first storage space 18, second storage space 19, and third storage space 20 are spaces that partially overlap each other.
[0023] The condiment folder 1 configured in this manner is capable of housing a tube-shaped first condiment container 22 shown in Figure 10, a bottle-shaped second condiment container 23 shown in Figure 11, and a bag-shaped third condiment container 24 shown in Figure 12.
[0024] That is, the first condiment container 22 has a cylindrical cap 25 and a tube 26, the second condiment container 23 has a bottle body 27, for example, in the shape of a rectangular column, with a larger diameter than the cap 25 of the first condiment container 22, and the third condiment container 24 has a bag body 28, for example, in the shape of a square, with a thickness thinner than the diameter of the cap 25 of the first condiment container 22.
[0025] The first storage space 18 is configured as a space for accommodating a first condiment container 22, as shown in Figures 13 to 15, the second storage space 19 is configured as a space for accommodating a second condiment container 23, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, and the third storage space 20 is configured as a space for accommodating a third condiment container 24, as shown in Figures 18 and 19.
[0026] As shown in FIG. 20, when a plurality of third spice containers 24 are to be stored, they can also be stored in the second storage space 19.
[0027] According to the above configuration, it is possible to accommodate spice containers of various shapes.
[0028] The disclosure regarding the present invention described above can be summarized at least as follows.
[0029] In other words, the condiment holder of the present invention is characterized by having a box-shaped main body, a stepped portion having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion provided inside the main body, and a recess formed in the vertical portion of the stepped portion.
[0030] The present invention may include at least the following embodiments, which may be adopted separately or in combination with each other.
[0031] (1) A first storage space is defined between the recess and the main body, a second storage space is defined above the horizontal portion of the step, and a third storage space is defined between the vertical portion of the step and the main body.
[0032] (2) The first storage space is a space for accommodating a tube-shaped first condiment container, the second storage space is a space for accommodating a second condiment container having a larger diameter than the first condiment container, and the third storage space is a space for accommodating a third condiment container having a thinner diameter than the first condiment container.
[0033] (3) Provide a hook portion on the outside of the main body.
[0034] (4) A plurality of recesses are provided, and a partition is provided on the upper surface of the step portion to separate adjacent recesses. [Explanation of symbols]
