Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to a clamping device that can prevent the deformation of objects such as flat foods like pizza and quiche, and can also eliminate the burden of using multiple utensils separately.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, when separating objects such as three-dimensional foods like bread and donuts, a tong-shaped clamping device composed of a handle, a clamping portion extending from the handle, and the clamping portion is mainly used. The clamping means is to face the tips of the clamping portions and clamp between the clamping portions, and support in the clamped state to separate.

[0003] Also, when separating objects such as flat foods like pizza and quiche, a server-shaped scooping placement device composed of a handle and a scooping placement portion extending from the handle is mainly used. The scooping placement means is to insert the tip of the scooping placement portion downward, and scoop and place it on top to separate.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In bakeries, only tong-shaped clamping devices are prepared for customers. Customers mainly use tong-shaped clamping devices to place flat foods such as pizza and quiche on trays for shopping, but deformation may occur during this process.

[0005] However, preparing a plurality of utensils such as a tong-shaped clamping device and a server-shaped ladling placement device so that each customer can use them has a problem of excessive purchase cost. Also, even if a plurality of utensils such as a tong-shaped clamping device and a server-shaped ladling placement device are used, it is still necessary to carry a tray when shopping, and it is a burden to properly use the plurality of utensils.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a clamping device that can be used with only one type of utensil to facilitate shopping for objects such as three-dimensional foods like bread and donuts, and flat foods like pizza and quiche, prevent the deformation of flat foods like pizza and quiche that are prone to deformation, and eliminate the burden of properly using multiple utensils.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] The present invention is composed of a handle, a clamping portion extending from the handle, and a clamping portion. When separating objects such as three-dimensional foods like bread and donuts, it clamps between the clamping portions and supports them in the clamped state. A ladling placement portion of a server-shaped ladling placement device, which was previously separated by ladling and placing, is provided by inserting it downward and ladling and placing it on top, etc., when separating objects such as flat foods like pizza and quiche, etc., into the handle of the tong-shaped clamping device.

[0008] The main material is an appropriate material such as metal. It can be manufactured by extending and integrally forming a support between the handle of the tong-shaped clamping device and the ladling placement portion of the server-shaped ladling placement device, or by extending and attaching a support between them.

[0009] When used as a tong-like clamping tool, by holding the handle and mainly clamping an object such as a three-dimensional food like a bread or a donut between the clamping parts and supporting it in the clamped state by clamping means such as this, it can be used as a tong-like clamping tool.

[0010] When using the scooping placement part as a server-like scooping placement tool, by holding the handle in the reverse direction and mainly inserting the tip of the scooping placement part downward toward an object such as a flat food like a pizza or a quiche, and scooping and placing it on top by scooping placement means such as this, the scooping placement part can be used as a server-like scooping placement tool.

Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the clamping tool of the present invention, by using the scooping placement part as a server-like scooping placement tool, it can produce an effect of contributing to preventing the deformation of an object such as a flat food like a pizza or a quiche that is likely to be deformed.

[0012] Also, since a plurality of tools are not required, it can produce an effect of contributing to eliminating the burden of properly using a plurality of tools.

Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, the clamping tool of the present invention will be specifically described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings in the best mode for its implementation.

[0014] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, which is composed of a handle 1, a clamping part 2 and a clamping part 3 extending from the handle 1. When mainly separating an object such as a three-dimensional food like a bread or a donut, it is clamped between the clamping part 2 and the clamping part 3, and the handle 1 of the tong-like clamping tool that was separated by clamping means such as supporting it in the clamped state is inserted downward mainly when separating an object such as a flat food like a pizza or a quiche, and is composed of a structure provided with a scooping placement part 4 of a server-like scooping placement tool that was separated by scooping placement means such as scooping and placing it on top.

[0015] The main material is an appropriate material such as metal, and it is provided by extending between the handle 1 of the tong-shaped clamping device and the scooping placement part 4 of the server-shaped scooping placement device with a support column 5 and integrally molding, or it can be manufactured by a method of extending between the handle 1 of the tong-shaped clamping device and the scooping placement part 4 of the server-shaped scooping placement device with a support column 5 and attaching them.

[0016] When used as a tong-shaped clamping device, hold the handle 1 and mainly direct the tips of the clamping part 2 and the clamping part 3 toward an object such as a three-dimensional food like bread or a donut, and clamp it between the clamping part 2 and the clamping part 3, and support it in the clamped state. By clamping with such clamping means, it can be used as a tong-shaped clamping device.

[0017] When using the scooping placement part 4 as a server-shaped scooping placement device, hold the handle 1 in the reverse direction and mainly insert the tip of the scooping placement part 4 toward the lower part of an object such as a flat food like pizza or quiche, and scoop and place it on top. By scooping and placing with such scooping placement means, the scooping placement part 4 can be used as a server-shaped scooping placement device.

[0018] As described above, it can produce an effect that helps to prevent the deformation of objects such as flat foods like pizza or quiche, and eliminate the burden of using multiple utensils separately.

[0019] Although these explanations and procedures solve the problem, the explanations, procedures, purposes of use, etc. are not particularly limited.
