At the time, undissolved lumps are formed in the container main body 1, however, large lumps collide with gaps between crushed grain pieces 4j and are crushed thereby becoming smaller. These small lumps pass through the gaps between the crushed grain pieces 4j, therefore such lumps with preferable sizes are left as they are.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stirring lid for stirring batter for pancakes and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] When baking pancakes or okonomiyaki at home, for example, a batter is made by putting flour or other powder and eggs, milk, or other liquid into a bowl or the like and stirring and kneading the ingredients using a spatula or the like, but making this batter is time-consuming. There is also a demand for a tool that can easily make batter by stirring while forming lumps called lumps, as described below.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a container that dissolves powdered or granular beverages in liquid, and has a shaft portion that is positioned at the center of the container and extends in the vertical direction, and a blade portion that is positioned inside the container and has multiple stirring blades.

[0004] By manually reciprocating the shaft and moving the blades up and down inside the container, the fluid inside the container is sheared and fluidized, effectively mixing and stirring the powder and granular materials that make up the fluid with the liquid.

[0006] However, when mixing batter for pancakes and the like, it is known that if powdered ingredients such as flour remain undissolved in the liquid and form granular lumps, the pancakes will be fluffier when baked.

[0007] Therefore, when hotcake batter is stirred in the container of Patent Document 1, the batter becomes too smooth and no lumps are formed, and when baked, the batter does not have the fluffy texture that is characteristic of hotcakes.

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a stirring lid that can leave lumps of an appropriate size in the dough when stirring powdered ingredients into liquid. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the stirring lid according to the present invention comprises a main lid portion and a lid portion hanging down from the rear surface of the main lid portion. To The agitation lid is composed of a plate-shaped agitation plate portion attached to the container body, and engages the main lid portion with the container body, and is characterized in that a hole portion is provided in the main body portion below the agitation plate portion, a crushing portion is formed within the hole portion, and the gap between adjacent edges of the crushing portion has a predetermined width. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the stirring lid of the present invention, after attaching it to the container body containing powder ingredients and liquid, it is possible to produce a dough that leaves behind lumps of a suitable size by shaking and stirring it appropriately.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. [Example]

[0013] Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the stirring vessel of Example 1, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the stirring lid as seen from below, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stirring vessel in an assembled state, Fig. 4 is a perspective cross-sectional view of the stirring vessel of Fig. 3 taken along line AA, and Fig. 5 is a perspective cross-sectional view of the stirring vessel of Fig. 3 taken along line BB.

[0014] The mixing container is made of a hard synthetic resin material and comprises a container body 1 for storing a dough or the like made of powdered ingredients and liquid, and a mixing lid 2 that can be engaged with the container body 1.

[0015] The container body 1 is a generally cylindrical body with a closed bottom 1a and an open top 1b. The size of the container body 1 is, for example, 10 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, and has a volume at least large enough to hold, for example, a serving of pancake batter.

[0016] The inside of the bottom 1a is semispherical, and the outside of the bottom 1a is provided with legs 1c for standing the container body 1. In addition, around the periphery of the upper part 1b of the container body 1, there is provided an outer screw groove 1d in the shape of a screw for attaching and screwing the stirring lid 2.

[0017] The stirring lid 2 is composed of a main lid part 3 and a stirring plate part 4 attached to the back surface of the main lid part 3 so as to hang down from the main lid part 3. The main lid part 3 is attached to the upper part 1b of the container body 1, and an inner screw groove 3b that screws into the outer screw groove 1d of the container body 1 is provided on the inside of the periphery 3a.

[0018] In addition, a rectangular parallelepiped knob portion 3d protrudes from the upper surface 3c of the main lid portion 3 for gripping the main lid portion 3 by hand, and a frame-shaped receiving portion 3e for fixing the stirring plate portion 4 is formed on the back surface as a recess that leads to the inside of the knob portion 3d.

[0019] The receiving portion 3e, which is a substantially rectangular frame body, is thin-walled and elastically deformable, and is provided with notched vertical grooves 3f at predetermined intervals.

[0020] The stirring plate 4 is made up of an insertion portion 4a into the main lid 3 and a rice paddle-shaped main body 4b that is a plate-like body continuing downward from the insertion portion 4a. The insertion portion 4a is inserted into and fixed in the receiving portion 3e of the main lid 3, and a protruding expansion portion 4c is provided around the periphery of the insertion portion 4a.

[0021] In addition, a locking portion 4d is provided between the insertion portion 4a and the main body portion 4b, which is engaged with the receiving portion 3e of the main cover portion 3, and this locking portion 4d has multiple vertical plate portions 4e standing upright thereon, which engage with the vertical groove portion 3f.

[0022] The arc-shaped lower edge 4f of the main body 4b is disposed along the hemispherical bottom 1a inside the container body 1. A hole 4g ​​is formed in the main body 4b below the stirring plate 4, and a crushing section 4i is provided from the upper edge 4h of this hole 4g ​​toward the bottom inside the hole 4g. This crushing section 4i has multiple rod-shaped crushed particle pieces 4j formed in a comb-like pattern.

[0023] The crushed particles 4j do not need to be parallel to each other as long as there is enough space between each crushed particle 4j to allow the lumps to pass through, as will be described later. The parallel crushed particles 4j may be formed in a comb-like shape within the hole 4g ​​from an edge of the hole 4g ​​other than the upper edge 4h, and both ends of the crushed particles 4j may be connected to the edge of the hole 4g.

[0024] Each crushed particle piece 4j is roughly spoon-shaped and has a uniform thickness, with the center of the crushed particle piece 4j extending beyond the hole 4g ​​in the thickness direction. The gap between adjacent crushed particle pieces 4j is large enough to allow lumps of a desired size that are generated when the dough is stirred to pass through.

[0025] To use this stirring vessel, first, insert the insertion portion 4a of the stirring plate 4 into the receiving portion 3e of the main lid 3 and fit it. This insertion brings the tip of the insertion portion 4a into the inside of the knob portion 3d, and the widening portion 4c pushes open the inside of the receiving portion 3e. In addition, by fitting the vertical groove portion 3f of the locking portion 4d into the vertical groove portion 3f of the receiving portion 3e, the insertion portion 4a becomes difficult to remove, and the stirring plate 4 is fixed to the main lid 3 as shown in Figure 3. It is also possible to eliminate the assembly process by integrating the main lid 3 and the stirring plate 4 in advance.

[0026] The container body 1 is set up on a table by its legs 1c, and powder ingredients, mainly flour for pancakes, and a liquid such as milk or eggs to dissolve the powder ingredients are poured into the container body 1. Then, the stirring lid 2 is screwed onto the container body 1, and the knob 3d is held to screw the outer screw groove 1d into the inner screw groove 3b, sealing the inside of the container body 1 as shown in Figure 2.

[0027] Then, by holding the container body 1 and shaking it up and down and left and right, the powder ingredients and liquid inside are mixed together to form a viscous dough. At this time, undissolved lumps are formed inside the container body 1, but larger lumps collide with the gaps between the crushed particles 4j and are crushed into smaller pieces. These small lumps pass through the gaps between the crushed particles 4j, so lumps of a suitable size remain.

[0028] In other words, the gap between adjacent edges in the crushing section 4i has a predetermined width, and this predetermined width is set to be wide enough to allow lumps of appropriate size made of undissolved powder material that form in the dough when the powder material and liquid in the container body 1 are stirred to produce the dough to pass through.

[0029] When shaking the container body 1, it is preferable to shake the container body 1 in the direction in which the dough passes through the crushed pieces 4j, that is, in the same direction as the BB direction shown in Figure 3, so that the mixing is effective. Also, a grip such as a handle may be provided on the side of the container body 1, and the container body 1 may be shaken by grasping this grip.

[0030] As in the embodiment, if you remember that the direction of the stirring plate 4 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular parallelepiped knob 3d, you can easily know the direction of the crushed particles 4j. Alternatively, you can mark the top surface 3c of the main lid 3 with an arrow to help you identify the shaking direction. Making the container body 1 transparent or translucent allows you to shake the container body 1 in the desired direction while checking the formation of lumps from the outside.

[0031] Once the batter has been mixed, the mixing lid 2 is loosened and removed from the container body 1, and the batter, including any lumps, can be poured directly into a frying pan to bake hot cakes. To release the mixing lid 2 from the container body 1, the mixing lid 2 can be easily loosened by holding and rotating the knob 3d with your fingers.

[0032] When pouring the batter into the frying pan, the lower edge 4f of the stirring plate 4 is semicircular like the bottom 1a of the container body 1, so that the lower edge 4f of the stirring plate 4 can be used like a spatula to scrape the batter from the bottom 1a and remove it from the container body 1.

[0033] Also, while preparing the batter for the next pancake, the stirring lid 2 shown in Figure 2 can be turned upside down and propped up with the stirring plate part 4 facing up, so that the batter adhering to the stirring plate part 4 does not soil the outside of the stirring lid 2.

[0034] While the stirring lid is in this position, flour or other powder for the next pancake and liquid such as eggs and milk can be added to the container body 1. In this way, pancakes can be baked continuously.

[0035] When the stirring container has been used, the main lid portion 3 and the stirring plate portion 4 are separated and washed together with the container body 1. After washing, they are dried and stored in a cupboard or the like.

[0036] Furthermore, before separating the main lid 3 and the agitator plate 4 and washing them separately, detergent and water can be poured into the container body 1, the agitator lid 2 can be screwed onto the container body 1, and the container can be shaken up and down and left and right, so that most of the dough adhering to the agitator plate 4 and other parts can be easily washed away by the cleaning liquid. This also makes it possible to wash the agitator container efficiently.

[0037] In this embodiment, the stirring container is used to make pancake batter, but the stirring container is not limited to use for pancake batter, and can also be used for other ingredients that require lumps of a suitable size to remain in the batter. [Example]

[0038] Figure 6 is a front view of the agitation plate section 4' of Example 2, and the shape of the crushing section 4i' is different from that of the agitation plate section 4 of the agitation lid of Example 1. The shape of the insertion section 4a on the upper side of the agitation plate section 4' shown in Figure 6 is the same as the shape of the insertion section 4a of Example 1, so the vertical plate section 4e is not shown.

[0039] In Example 2, a hole 4g ​​is formed in the main body 4b of the agitator plate 4', and a crushing section 4i' is provided from the upper edge 4h of this hole 4g ​​toward the inside of the hole 4g. The crushing section 4i' is a spiral-shaped plate like a mosquito coil, and like the crushing section 4i in Example 1, the gap between adjacent edges is wide enough to allow lumps of an appropriate size to pass through.

[0040] Thus, with the stirring lid of the present invention, after the powder ingredients and liquid have been added to the container body 1, it can be attached and shaken appropriately to stir, thereby producing a dough that leaves behind lumps of a suitable size. [Explanation of symbols]
