Hand-held roasting aid

Abstract

This invention provides a hand-roasting assist device that makes it easier to maintain a constant distance between the hand-roasting pan and the heat source, and that allows for smooth operation of the necessary roasting processes. [Solution] The device comprises a sliding member 4 attached to the handle 2 of the hand roasting net 1, and a support part 3 on which the sliding member 4 is placed and supported so that it can slide. By supporting the handle 2 via the sliding member 4, the distance between the hand roasting net 1 and the heat source can be kept constant, and oscillating, rotating, and other roasting operations can be performed smoothly. The sliding member 4 is positioned to cover the wire fixing part 7 or other irregularities provided on the handle 2.

Description

[[Technical Field]]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hand-held roaster assisting device that supports a hand-held mesh used when roasting or heat-treating food such as coffee beans, facilitates maintaining a constant distance between the hand-held mesh and a heat source, and enables smooth performance of operations required for roasting. [[Background Art]]

[0002] When roasting coffee beans in small batches, it is widely practiced to roast the beans while manually holding a metal hand-held mesh over a heat source such as a gas stove. However, this method has the problem that the distance between the hand-held mesh and the heat source is prone to change during roasting, making it difficult to maintain constant roasting conditions. Furthermore, since it is necessary to operate the hand-held mesh while supporting it by hand, there is also the problem that long-time roasting places a heavy burden on the arms and wrists. [[Summary of the Invention]] [[Problem to be Solved by the Invention]]

[0003] The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hand-held roaster assisting device that facilitates maintaining a constant distance between the hand-held mesh and a heat source, enables smooth performance of operations required for roasting, and reduces the burden on an operator. [[Means for Solving the Problem]]

[0004] The hand-held roaster assisting device of the present invention includes a sliding member attachable to a handle of a hand-held mesh, and a support portion that slidably supports the sliding member. The support portion supports the sliding member and supports the handle via the sliding member, thereby facilitating maintaining a constant distance between the hand-held mesh and the heat source, and enabling smooth performance of operations required for roasting. The support portion only needs to have a structure capable of supporting the sliding member, and can be constituted by a rod-shaped member, a pipe-shaped member, a frame member, an edge of a container, an edge of a workbench, or other supporting structures similar to these. The sliding member 4 can be positioned on at least a portion of the outer circumference of the handle 2 so as to cover the wire fixing portion 7 and other irregularities provided on the handle 2. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] According to this invention, the support portion 3 supports the sliding member 4, and the handle 2 is supported via the sliding member 4, making it easier to maintain a constant distance between the hand-held grill 1 and the heat source, thereby stabilizing the roasting conditions. Furthermore, because it allows for smooth operation of the necessary roasting processes, such as rocking, swirling, and combinations thereof, it makes it easier to achieve stable roasting. Furthermore, since the handle 2 is supported by the support part 3 via the sliding member 4, the weight of the net 1 carried by the worker is reduced, thereby reducing the strain on the arms and wrists. In a configuration where the sliding member 4 covers the wire fixing portion 7 and other irregularities, it is possible to prevent these irregularities from catching on the support portion 3, thereby enabling smoother roasting operations. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0006] [Figure 1] This is an overall perspective view of a hand-held roasting aid device according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This diagram shows the mounting state of the sliding member as seen from the back side of the net. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view showing the contact state between the sliding member and the support part. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] The embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the hand-held roasting assist device of this embodiment comprises a support part 3 positioned around the heat source and a sliding member 4 attached to a handle 2 extending from the hand-held roasting net 1. In this embodiment, the support section 3 is composed of a horizontal bar-shaped member spanning a pair of left and right support columns 5 positioned to the side of the heat source, and the support columns 5 are supported by a base 6. By providing the support section 3 so as to be vertically adjustable relative to the support columns 5, the distance between the net 1 and the heat source can be adjusted. In another embodiment, the support portion 3 may be constructed using the edge of the container, the edge of the workbench, or other portion capable of supporting the sliding member 4. In this case, even if the height of the support portion 3 is fixed, the distance between the hand net 1 and the heat source can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the heat source. The handle 2 is provided with wire fixing parts 7 and other protrusions for fixing the wires that make up the net 1. The sliding member 4 is attached to at least a part of the outer circumference of the handle 2 so as to cover these protrusions. The sliding member 4 can be made of bamboo, resin, wood, metal, or other materials, and preferably has a smooth surface at least in the part that contacts the support part 3. The sliding member 4 can be fixed to the handle 2 by fixing tape, adhesive, fasteners, or other means. The sliding member 4 may be a member with an arc-shaped or curved plate-shaped cross-section, or it may have a shape like a part of a member that has been split lengthwise from bamboo. As shown in Figure 3, the sliding member 4 is placed on the support portion 3 and slides while maintaining contact with the support portion 3. The support portion 3 supports the sliding member 4 and supports the handle 2 via the sliding member 4. This allows the user to easily maintain a constant distance between the hand-held grill 1 and the heat source, and to smoothly perform the necessary operations for roasting, such as oscillating, rotating, and combinations thereof. In addition, the sliding member 4 covers the wire fixing part 7 and other irregularities, which prevents these irregularities from getting caught on the support part 3. This invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented by appropriately changing the configuration, shape, dimensions, material, fixing method, and arrangement of each part without departing from the spirit of the invention.
