Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rotary food film lid removal aid. [Background technology]

[0002] Cancer patients have told us that chemotherapy and other treatments have made it difficult for them to use their fingers, making it difficult to open yogurt lids. We also heard that the incidence rate of cancer is high, with one in two people affected. Yogurt is easy to eat even for those with reduced chewing ability or appetite, but the difficulty of opening it is a major issue, and we invented a rotating food film lid removal aid. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3221385 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a rotary food film lid remover that allows even people who have difficulty rotating their wrists, such as cancer patients and the elderly, to open film lids with less strain on their wrists. The above-mentioned prior art is manual, requiring wrist rotation and making it unsuitable for people with wrist pain. Furthermore, the tip that clamps the film lid is composed of two metal bars, which must be pushed apart to clamp the film lid, making it difficult for people with finger tremors. Therefore, making it electric reduces the strain on the wrist, and the tip can be opened and closed, making it suitable for people with finger tremors. Furthermore, the device can be removed from the electric rotary tool, making it hygienic and suitable for other uses. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The rotary food film lid remover of the present invention comprises a connecting part that connects to an electric rotary tool and a clamping part for clamping the lid knob, the connecting part and the clamping part intersecting, pins are inserted into the respective holes provided at the intersection, and a spring is attached that applies force to the connecting part and the clamping part in the direction that the clamping part opens relative to the connecting part, making it easy to open and close. In the present invention, the connecting portion has a first base end portion on the electric rotary tool side of the intersection with the clip portion, and a first tip end portion on the opposite side to the electric rotary tool side. The rotary food film lid removal aid of the present invention is characterized by having recesses at the first and second tip portions to prevent the film from slipping. The rotary food film lid removing aid of the present invention is characterized in that the first tip and the second tip are each linear. In the present invention, the clamping portion is characterized by having a second base end portion that is locked to the first base end portion when closed to the connection portion, and a second tip end portion that clamps the film lid between the first tip end portion and the second base end portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The forceless mechanism means that anyone can open the film-like lid, making it very convenient. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary food film lid remover S of the present invention has a connecting part 1 for connecting to an electric rotary tool (see FIG. 7) and a clamping part 2 for clamping the lid tab.

[0009] As shown in Figure 2, the connecting part 1 consists of a first base end 10 and a non-slip part (first tip) 13, and the first base end 10 has a storage part 11 and a locking part 111. The clipping part 2 consists of a second base end 20 and a non-slip part (second tip) 23, and the second base end 20 has a lock opening / closing assist part 22 and a locking part 211. Figure 2 shows two different arrangements in the left-right direction of one clipping part 2. As shown in Figure 3, the non-slip part 23 of the clipping part 2 and the non-slip part 13 of the connecting part 1 have recesses engraved on them, forming interlocking projections and recesses.

[0010] The connecting part 1 can be connected to an electric rotary tool at a first base end 10. The clamping part 2 intersects with the connecting part 1 and is connected to the connecting part 1 at the intersection. The connecting part 1 and the clamping part 2 are each provided with a round hole 14 and an elongated hole 24 for passing a pin (not shown) through which to connect them at the intersection.

[0011] As shown in Figure 4, when the lock is released and no external force is being applied, the spring 3 stored in the storage section 11 expands, lifting the second base end 20 and opening the tip. Because the tip opens due to the force of the spring 3, a film-like lid can be clamped without having to push the tip apart.

[0012] As shown in Figure 5, pressing the lock opening / closing assist part 22 with the thumb causes the spring 3 to contract, and the tips of the connection part 1 and the clamping part 2 close as shown in Figure 5. As also shown in Figure 1, the part of the second base end part 20 other than the lock opening / closing assist part 22 is stored in the storage part 11.

[0013] As shown in Figure 6, by pulling the lock opening / closing auxiliary part 22 to the left side of the figure, the lock part 211 fits into the lock part 111, thereby locking the device. When the lock opening / closing auxiliary part 22 is pushed to the right side of the figure to release the lock, the tip opens due to the force of the spring 3, as shown in Figure 4. When the lock opening / closing auxiliary part 22 is moved left or right, the elongated hole 24 shown in Figure 2 slides left or right relative to the pin inside it. Because the lock opening / closing auxiliary part 22 has a semi-cylindrical convex shape, even people who have difficulty using their fingers can perform the locking and unlocking operations.

[0014] 7, the first base end 10 is inserted into the electric rotary tool, the food film lid is clamped by the clamping part 2, and the lock opening / closing assistant part 22 is locked. The switch of the electric rotary tool is pressed to rotate it.

[0015] Because the first tip 13 and the second tip 23 are both straight, the rotation radius of the rotary food film lid removal aid S is small, and the user can predict that rotation radius, preventing the tip from unexpectedly hitting something and interfering with the rotation. In Figure 7, a right-handed person is operating the rotary food film lid removal aid S and rotating it clockwise. However, since power rotary tools can also be rotated counterclockwise, left-handed people can similarly open the lid by clamping it in the opposite direction and rotating it counterclockwise. Furthermore, the connecting part 1 and clamping part 2 of the rotary food film lid removal aid S shown in Figure 7 were created using a 3D printer. Made of plastic, it is lightweight and easy to use for people who have limited hand strength. [Explanation of symbols]
