Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is a kitchen utensil creation, particularly relating to spatulas. [Background technology]

[0002] Prior art spatulas are classified by material into two types: metal spatulas and plastic spatulas. Generally, plastic spatulas are suitable for coated pans, but in order to maintain a certain level of structural strength, the tips of plastic spatulas are usually designed to be thick, which makes them difficult to use. On the other hand, metal spatulas are designed with relatively thin tips, but they have the disadvantage of easily damaging the coating of the pan during stir-frying and generating noise when they hit the pan. Therefore, prior art spatulas have difficulty balancing the thickness of the spatula head with ease of use while maintaining structural strength. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention provides a spatula to ameliorate the problems of the known art. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] To achieve at least one of the above advantages or other advantages, an embodiment of the present invention provides a spatula including a spatula portion, a reinforcing plate, a spatula handle, and a covering layer. The reinforcing plate is attached to the spatula portion. The spatula handle has a connecting end connected to the reinforcing plate. The covering layer covers the spatula portion and the reinforcing plate and extends to the connecting end.

[0005] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula portion includes a spatula plate, and the reinforcing plate is disposed on the spatula plate and is adjacent to the edge of the spatula plate.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting end has an insertion groove formed therein, and the overlapping portion of the spatula plate and the reinforcing plate partially extends into the insertion groove.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the non-overlapping portion of the spatula plate and the reinforcing plate partially extends into the insertion groove.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula plate has a first side portion and a second side portion facing each other, the second side portion is arc-shaped, and the reinforcing plate is adjacent to the apex of the arc of the second side portion.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting end has a groove for insertion, and the reinforcing plate has a connecting portion for insertion that does not overlap with the plate, and the connecting portion for insertion extends into the connecting groove.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned connecting end further has two extensions extending in different directions from the insertion connecting groove, and the two extensions extend along the edge of the spatula plate.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula plate has two sides, and the reinforcing plate is adjacent to the connection point of the two adjacent sides.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned covering layer further covers a part or the whole of the spatula handle.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula plate further comprises a plurality of through holes.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula is a metal spatula, the reinforcing plate is a metal reinforcing plate, the spatula handle is a plastic spatula handle or a wooden spatula handle, and the coating layer is a silicone coating layer or a rubber coating layer.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula portion includes an annular frame. The covering layer covers the annular frame and the area surrounded by the annular frame. The height of the annular frame in the thickness direction of the spatula plate is greater than the thickness of the spatula plate.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spatula part further includes a spatula plate disposed in the area surrounded by the annular frame and connected to the annular frame, and a covering layer further covers the spatula plate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] The spatula of the present invention employs a reinforcing plate to strengthen the structural strength of the connection between the spatula and the spatula handle, and a coating layer to cover the spatula and the reinforcing plate improves the overall structural strength of the spatula. Thus, even if the overall thickness of the spatula and the coating layer covering the spatula is reduced, the spatula still has good structural strength. Furthermore, even if the thickness of the spatula and the coating layer is reduced, the spatula remains easy to use. Based on the above, the spatula of the present invention overcomes the problems of the known art.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a spatula according to one embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1. The spatula 100 includes a spatula portion 110, a reinforcing plate 120, a spatula handle 130, and a covering layer 140. The reinforcing plate 120 is attached to the spatula portion 110. The spatula handle 130 has a connecting end 131 and is connected to the reinforcing plate 120. The covering layer 140 covers the spatula portion 110 and the reinforcing plate 120 and extends to the connecting end 131. Specifically, the spatula portion 110 may include a spatula plate 111. The reinforcing plate 120 is attached on the spatula plate 111 and is adjacent to the edge of the spatula plate 111. In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 120 is attached to the spatula surface 113 of the spatula plate 111. In another embodiment, the reinforcing plate 120 may be attached to a bottom surface (not shown) facing the spatula surface 113.

[0021] FIG. 2A is an exploded schematic view of a coating layer not shown in the spatula of FIG. 1. FIG. 2B is an assembled schematic view of the spatula of FIG. 2A. Please refer to FIGS. 2A and 2B. In this embodiment, the spatula plate 111 may have two adjacent side portions 1110 and 1111. The reinforcing plate 120 is adjacent to the connection point between the two side portions 1110 and 1111. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the spatula plate 111 may have four corners C1, C2, C3, and C4. For example, corner C1 is located at the connection point between the two side portions 1110 and 1111, and the reinforcing plate 120 is located at corner C1. Corner C2 and corner C1 are opposite each other, and corner C3 and corner C4 are opposite each other. In this embodiment, corners C1, C2, C3, and C4 are rounded corners by way of example, but are not limited to rounded corners.

[0022] The spatula part 110 of this embodiment may be a metal spatula part 110. For example, it may be an elastic metal spatula part 110 such as an elastic steel spatula part 110 or an elastic stainless steel spatula part 110, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. Based on the above-mentioned structure, the weight of the spatula part 110 of this embodiment is reduced, so that the weight distribution of the spatula 100 of this embodiment is not concentrated on the spatula part 110 side. In this way, the spatula 100 is easier to use when frying ingredients.

[0023] The reinforcing plate 120 may be integrally formed with the spatula plate 111. For example, the reinforcing plate 120 may be molded together with the spatula plate 111 during die-casting, or the reinforcing plate 120 may be formed on the spatula plate 111 by bending the spatula plate 111. In another embodiment, the reinforcing plate 120 may be attached to the spatula plate 111 as a part, rather than being integrally formed with the spatula plate 111. For example, the reinforcing plate 120 may be formed separately and then fixed to the spatula plate 111 by welding. Examples of welding include, but are not limited to, burn-in or butt welding. The reinforcing plate 120 in this embodiment may be a metal reinforcing plate 120, such as, but not limited to, a stainless steel reinforcing plate 120. See FIG. 3. The thickness T1 of the reinforcing plate 120 may be greater than the thickness T2 of the spatula plate 111. For example, the thickness T2 of the spatula plate 111 can be between 0.18 mm and 0.5 mm, such as 0.3 mm, and the thickness T1 of the reinforcing plate 120 can be between 0.8 mm and 2.3 mm. Other features of the reinforcing plate 120 will be described below, along with the features of the connecting end 131 of the spatula handle 130.

[0024] 2A and 2B again, the connecting end 131 of the spatula handle 130 may be formed with an insertion groove 1310. The reinforcing plate 120 may be provided with an insertion portion 121 that does not overlap with the spatula plate 111, for example, the insertion portion 121 extends into the insertion groove 1310, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the spatula 100. In this embodiment, the connecting end 131 of the spatula handle 130 may be formed with the insertion groove 1310 that is fixed to the insertion portion 121 by methods such as overmolding, high-frequency welding, hot-melt welding, insertion connection, or adhesive bonding, but the present invention does not limit the method of forming the insertion groove 1310. Referring again to Figure 3, the insert connection portion 121 extends in direction D away from the corner C2 of the spatula plate 111, for example, and is bent upward, so that the vertical distance H between the insert connection portion 121 and the spatula plate 111 gradually increases in direction D. Thus, as shown in Figure 4, after the insert connection groove 1310 (shown in Figure 2A) of the spatula handle 130 and the insert connection portion 121 are mated, a predetermined angle θ is set between the handle body 133 of the spatula handle 130 and the spatula plate 111 to improve user convenience. The predetermined angle θ can be changed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose a specific numerical limit on the predetermined angle θ.

[0025] 2A and 2B. In this embodiment, the connecting end 131 may further include two extending portions 1311 and 1312 extending in different directions from the insertion groove 1310, and the two extending portions 1311 and 1312 extend along the edge of the spatula plate 111. Specifically, the extending portion 1311 may extend along the side portion 1110 of the spatula plate 111, but not to the corner C4 (shown in FIG. 2A). The extending portion 1312 may extend along the side portion 1111 of the spatula plate 111, but not to the corner C3 (shown in FIG. 2A). Referring again to FIG. 4, the extending portion 1311 may include a stopper surface S that rises in a direction away from the spatula plate 111, and the stopper surface S may be a sloped or arcuate surface. Similarly, extension 1312 may also have a stopper surface (not shown). In this way, extensions 1311 and 1312 can receive ingredients during the stir-frying process, thereby preventing ingredients from leaking out from the surface of spatula handle 130 that is close to spatula plate 111.

[0026] Please refer to FIGS. 2A and 2B again. Generally, the spatula handle 130 may include a grip 132 and a handle body 133. For example, the connecting end 131 may be located at the end of the handle body 133, and the grip 132 may be connected to one end of the handle body 133 remote from the connecting end 131, and have a shape suitable for a user to hold. The spatula handle 130 of this embodiment may also be a plastic spatula handle 130 or a wooden spatula handle 130. More specifically, the grip 132 of this embodiment may be a plastic grip 132, and the handle body 133 may also be a plastic handle body 133, but this is not limitative. For example, in other embodiments of the spatula handle 130, only the grip 132 may be a plastic grip 132, or only the handle body 133 may be a plastic handle body 133. In this embodiment, for example, the plastic spatula handle 130 may be replaced with a nylon spatula handle 130, i.e., the grip 132 may be replaced with a nylon grip 132, and the handle body 133 may be replaced with a nylon handle body 133, but this is not limitative. In this way, the spatula 100 further has the advantage of being light in weight, making the spatula 100 easier to use.

[0027] Please refer to FIG. 1 again. The covering layer 140 may be a silicone covering layer 140 or a rubber covering layer 140. Therefore, the spatula 100 of this embodiment does not wear away the coating on the pot, further reducing the noise generated by impact with the pot. The covering layer 140 of this embodiment may also cover a portion of the spatula handle 130. For example, the covering layer 140 may further extend to cover the handle body 133 (see FIGS. 2A and 2B), but is not limited thereto. The total thickness of the covering layer 140 is approximately 1.8 mm to 3 mm. Since the spatula plate 111 is installed within the covering layer 140, the total thickness of the spatula plate 111 and the covering layer 140 of this embodiment can be less than 2 mm.

[0028] Compared to the prior art, the spatula 100 of this embodiment employs a reinforcing plate 120 to strengthen the structural strength of the connection between the spatula plate 111 and the spatula handle 130, and a covering layer 140 covering the spatula plate 111 and the reinforcing plate 120 to improve the overall structural strength of the spatula 100. Thus, even if the covering layer 140 of the covering spatula plate 111 and the overall thickness of the spatula plate 111 are reduced, the spatula 100 still maintains good structural strength. Furthermore, even if the thickness of the spatula plate 111 and the covering layer 140 are reduced, the spatula 100 can be made easier to use. The spatula plate 111 of this embodiment may be an elastic metal spatula plate 111, such as an elastic steel spatula plate 111 or an elastic stainless steel spatula plate 111. Therefore, the spatula plate 111 of this embodiment further has the advantage of being lightweight. Furthermore, the weight distribution of the spatula 100 of this embodiment is not concentrated on the spatula portion 110 side, so the spatula 100 is easier to use during the process of frying ingredients. Based on the above, the spatula 100 of this embodiment can improve the problems of the known art.

[0029] FIG. 5 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a not-shown coating layer in a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. The coating layer installation method in FIG. 5 may be similar to, but not limited to, the coating layer 140 in FIG. 1. The structure and advantages of the spatula 100a of this embodiment are similar to those of the spatula 100 in FIG. 2B, with the main difference being that the connecting end 131a of the spatula handle 130a of this embodiment does not have the extensions 1311 and 1312 shown in FIG. 2B. Therefore, the spatula 100a of this embodiment further has the advantage of a simple structure. The features of the spatula plate 111 of the spatula portion 110 are similar to those of the above-described embodiments, and therefore detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated here.

[0030] FIG. 6A is an exploded schematic view of a not-shown covering layer in a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6B is an assembled schematic view of the spatula of FIG. 6A. The installation method of the covering layer in FIGS. 6A and 6B may be similar to, but not limited to, the covering layer 140 in FIG. 1. The structure and advantages of the spatula 100b of this embodiment are similar to those of the spatula 100 in FIG. 2B, and only the differences will be described below. Please refer to FIGS. 6A and 6B. The reinforcing plate 120b of this embodiment does not have the insertion connection portion 121 of FIG. 2B, and the overlapping portion between the spatula plate 111b of the spatula part 110b and the reinforcing plate 120b partially extends into the insertion connection groove 1310b of the connection end 131b. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A , the insertion groove 1310b may have a width W1 in the longitudinal direction, and the reinforcing plate 120b may have a maximum width W2 in the longitudinal direction, which may be wider than the width W1 of the insertion groove 1310b. In this manner, the overlapping portion of the reinforcing plate 120b and the spatula plate 111b may partially extend into the insertion groove 1310b and be positioned in a recessed position relative to the inner wall of the insertion groove 1310b (not shown), thereby securing the reinforcing plate 120b within the insertion groove 1310b. Furthermore, the spatula plate 111b of this embodiment may further include a first side portion E1 and a second side portion E2 facing each other. The second side portion E2 is arc-shaped. The reinforcing plate 120b is adjacent to the apex of the second side portion E2. Specifically, the first side portion E1 may be located on one side of the spatula plate 111b away from the spatula handle 130b, or may be the front edge of the spatula plate 111b. In this embodiment, the first side portion E1 is, for example, an arcuate side having a smaller curvature than the second side portion E2, but is not limited to this.

[0031] FIG. 7A is an exploded schematic view of a not-shown covering layer of a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7B is an assembled schematic view of the spatula of FIG. 7A. The installation method of the covering layer of FIGS. 7A and 7B may be similar to, but not limited to, the covering layer 140 of FIG. 1. The structure and advantages of the spatula 100c of this embodiment are similar to those of the spatula 100b of FIG. 6B; only the differences will be described below. Please refer to FIGS. 7A and 7B. In this embodiment, the spatula plate 111b can partially extend into the insertion groove 1310c in addition to the portion overlapping with the reinforcing plate 120c. The portion where the spatula plate 111b and the reinforcing plate 120c do not overlap can also partially extend into the insertion groove 1310c. For example, the spatula plate 111b is located on both sides 112b and 113b of the reinforcing plate 120c and can extend into the insertion groove 1310c. In this manner, the reinforcing plate 120c and the spatula plate 111b may be firmly and securely connected by the connecting end 131c of the spatula handle 130c.

[0032] FIG. 8 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. The structure and advantages of the spatula 100d of this embodiment are similar to those of the spatula 100c of FIG. 7B. The main difference is that the covering layer 140a of this embodiment covers the spatula plate 111b and the reinforcing plate 120c and extends to the connecting end 131c, whereas the covering layer 140a of FIG. 7B does not cover the handle body 133c of the spatula handle 130c. It should be noted that the covering layer 140a of this embodiment may also be used in the spatulas 100, 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100f of the other embodiments. Note that in FIG. 8, there may be no step between the handle body 133c and the grip 132c of the spatula handle 130c. The shape of the spatula portion 110b shown in FIG. 8 is merely illustrative and does not limit this embodiment.

[0033] FIG. 9 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 9. Unlike the embodiment of FIG. 7B, the covering layer 140b of the spatula 100e of this embodiment can further cover the entire spatula handle 130c. In other words, the covering layer 140b of this embodiment covers the entire spatula 100e. Note that in FIG. 9, the spatula handle 130c may have a step as shown in FIG. 8. It should be understood that the entire spatula handle 130 of FIG. 2B, the entire spatula handle 130a of FIG. 5, the entire spatula handle 130b of FIG. 6B, and the entire spatula handle 130c of FIG. 10 may also be covered by the covering layer 140b of this embodiment. The features of the spatula plate 111b of the spatula portion 110b are similar to those of the embodiment of FIG. 6A, and therefore detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated here.

[0034] FIG. 10 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a not-shown coating layer in a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 10. The coating layer installation method in FIG. 10 may be similar to, but not limited to, the coating layer 140 in FIG. 1. The spatula plate 111c of the spatula part 110c may further include a plurality of through-holes G. Furthermore, the spatula plate 111c has a spatula surface 113c and a bottom surface 114c facing each other. The through-holes G may be, for example, the through-hole bottom surface 114c and the spatula surface 113c. More specifically, during the process of attaching the reinforcing plate 120c to the spatula plate 111c, stress may cause the spatula plate 111c to become uneven when using other processing methods, such as die-casting, bending, or welding, as described above. Therefore, the through-holes G can reduce the generation of stress, thereby improving the unevenness of the spatula plate 111c. 10 only shows an example of the number, shape, arrangement method, and other features of the through holes G, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on the detailed features of the through holes G.

[0035] FIG. 11A is a schematic diagram of a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11B is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the spatula of FIG. 11A. Please refer to FIGS. 11A and 11B. Unlike the embodiment of FIG. 1, the spatula portion 110g of the spatula 100g of this embodiment may include an annular frame 111g. A covering layer 140g covers the annular frame 111g and the area Z surrounded by the annular frame 111g. In detail, the annular frame 111g may be, for example, a metal annular frame 111g, and may be formed by steps such as cutting and welding, but is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the annular frame 111g may be formed by pressing. In another embodiment, the annular frame 111g and the reinforcing plate 120g may be integrally formed, and the specific forming process is similar to that described above. In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 120g is, for example, a portion of the connecting annular frame 111g located outside the area Z. The reinforcing plate 120g may be connected to the annular frame 111g by, but not limited to, welding.

[0036] FIG. 12A is a schematic diagram of a spatula according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12B is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the spatula of FIG. 12A. Please refer to FIGS. 12A and 12B. Compared with the embodiment of FIG. 11A, the spatula portion 110h of the spatula 100h of this embodiment may further include a spatula plate 111h. The spatula plate 111h is installed in the area Z surrounded by the annular frame 111g and connected to the annular frame 111g. A covering layer 140h further covers the spatula plate 111h. Similarly, the spatula plate 111h may be connected to the annular frame 111g using the method described above or may be integrally formed with the annular frame 111g. In this embodiment, a reinforcing plate 120h may be connected to the bottom surface 114h of the spatula plate 111h. 12B, the height H1 of the annular frame 111g in the thickness direction TD of the spatula plate 111h may be greater than the thickness T3 of the spatula plate 111h. Specifically, the thickness direction TD is oriented, for example, from the bottom surface 114h of the spatula plate 111h to the spatula surface 113h. In other words, in this embodiment, one side of the annular frame 111g may protrude toward the spatula surface 113h.

[0037] 1, in the embodiment of FIG. 12A, the connecting end 131 of the spatula handle 130 may be formed with an insertion connection groove 1310. The reinforcing plate 120h may be provided with an insertion connection portion 121h that does not overlap with the spatula portion 110h. The insertion connection portion 121h, for example, extends into the insertion connection groove 1310. Similarly, the detailed structures of the reinforcing plate 120g, the insertion connection portion 121g, and the spatula handle 130 in FIG. 11A are the same as those in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The detailed structures of each of the above components have already been described in the embodiment of FIG. 1, so detailed descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0038] In summary, the spatula of the present invention employs a reinforcing plate to strengthen the structural strength of the spatula portion and the spatula handle connection, and a coating layer covering the spatula portion and the reinforcing plate improves the overall structural strength of the spatula. Thus, even if the coating layer covering the spatula portion and the overall thickness of the spatula portion are thin, the spatula still has good structural strength. Furthermore, even if the thickness of the spatula portion and the coating layer are thin, the spatula is easy to use. Furthermore, the spatula portion of the present invention has the advantage of being lightweight, and the weight distribution of the spatula is not concentrated on the spatula portion, making the spatula easier to use when frying ingredients. Based on the above, the spatula of the present invention can overcome the problems of the known art.

[0039] The present invention discloses the above-described embodiments, but is not intended to limit the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make various modifications and adaptations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the content specified in the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
