Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the rotating dish according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0014] <Configuration of the Rotating Dish> FIG. 1 shows a rotating dish. The rotating dish D is formed of pottery (so-called bone china) and has a dish body B for placing dishes and the like, and a pedestal (ceramic pedestal) C for stably placing on the table T and the like. And it has a weight of about 300 g.

[0015] The dish body B is integrally formed in a disc shape with a diameter of about 150 mm (a disc shape curved into a spherical shape with a radius of curvature of about 300 mm so as to be convex downward). On the other hand, the raised platform C is formed in a flat cylindrical shape with an outer diameter of 70 mm, an inner diameter of 66 mm (that is, a thickness of 4.0 mm) and a height of about 4.0, and is provided concentrically with respect to the center P so as to surround the center (center in the diameter direction) P on the lower surface of the dish body B. And the height difference (α in FIG. 1) between the center (that is, the lowest point) P on the lower surface of the dish body B and the lower surface of the raised platform C is about 1.0 mm.

[0016] <Operating content of the rotating dish> The rotating dish D configured as described above can be placed on a wooden or steel table T with or without cooking on the upper surface of the dish body B, and the user can hold the edge of the dish body B and apply a force in the tangential direction to rotate it in the horizontal plane as shown in FIG. 2. The rotation duration varies depending on the weight, size, material of the rotating dish D, the material of the table, etc., but under optimal conditions, it can be continued for about 10 seconds. Also, when storing the rotating dish D, it can be placed directly on the shelf board of the cupboard, but using a flat donut-shaped placement board (with an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the raised platform) makes it possible to store it in a more stable state (a state without wobbling left and right). In addition, it is also possible to display a large-diameter rotating dish or a rotating dish with a picture in a stable state (a state without wobbling left and right) using a dish stand with a vertical support provided for the horizontal base.

[0017] <Effect of the rotating dish> As described above, the rotating dish D has a raised platform (pottery base) C provided on the lower surface of the dish body B formed in an outward convex shape so as to surround the center P of the dish body B, and the center P of the lower surface of the dish body B is located below the lower surface of the raised platform C. Therefore, it can be easily rotated on the table T with the center P of the lower surface of the dish body B as the rotation center. Therefore, it has a high degree of ingenuity and can provide a very novel impression to viewers, thus contributing to soothing the atmosphere of the dining table. In addition, since it can be rotated without requiring a large space like a Chinese dining table, it is excellent in convenience when providing multiple types of dishes to multiple people. Furthermore, since the rotating dish D has a simple structure, it can be easily manufactured and easily cleaned. Note that since the rotating dish D is formed of pottery, the surface of the table T will not be damaged even when it is rotated on the table T.

[0018] Also, since the height difference between the center P of the lower surface of the dish body B and the lower surface of the raised platform C of the rotating dish D is adjusted to 1.0 mm, it can be smoothly rotated on the table T and has good stability when not rotating.

[0019] <Modification Example of Rotating Dish> The rotating dish according to the present invention is not limited to the aspects of the above-described embodiments at all, and the configuration such as the material, the dish body, and the size, shape, and structure of the raised platform can be appropriately changed as needed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0020] For example, the rotating dish according to the present invention is not limited to the one in which the central portion (so-called, inside of the raised platform) of the lower surface of the dish body is flat (a simple curved surface shape) as in the above-described embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 2, it is also possible to form a fulcrum forming portion O such as a downward semi-spherical shape at the center P of the lower surface of the dish body B. When such a configuration is adopted, the rotating dish rotates at a fixed position and is difficult to move in the horizontal plane direction, so the convenience when providing multiple types of dishes to multiple people is extremely good.

[0021] Also, the rotating plate according to the present invention is not limited to having a single circular raised platform formed on the lower surface of the plate body as in the above embodiment, and can be changed to, for example, a structure in which a plurality of divided raised platforms are formed on the lower surface of the plate body.

Industrial Applicability

[0022] Since the rotating plate according to the present invention exhibits excellent effects as described above, it can be suitably used as a tableware for placing and providing dishes during meals.
