[0032]

[0033] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a cooking utensil (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention is composed of a main body (100) having a molding space (120) formed therein to accommodate food, a handle (200), and a partition means (300) that partitions the molding space (120).

[0034] The main body (100) is a place where food is received, and is formed by penetrating upward and downward and forming a molding space (120) inside. The main body (100) has a molding space (120) formed inside a belt-shaped main body frame (110) with both ends connected. The molding space (120) is composed of a central portion (122) and an extension portion (124) extending radially outward from the central portion (122). It is preferable that at least three extension portions (124) are formed, and it is most preferable that four extension portions are formed. A first connection portion (130) connected to a handle (200) to be described later is provided on one side of the main body frame (110). The first connection portion (130) is formed to protrude on one side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main body frame (110). The first connecting portion (130) may be inserted into the second connecting portion (220) described later by protruding in the shape of a circular or polygonal column, and may be formed in the shape of a circular or polygonal column with a hollow interior so that the second connecting portion (220) described later may be inserted into the interior of the first connecting portion (130). A first through-hole (132) is formed on one side (upper side in FIG. 2) of the first connecting portion (130). When the first connecting portion (130) and the second connecting portion (220) are connected by insertion, a connecting member (222) passes through the first through-hole (132) to connect the main body (100) and the handle (200). Here, the connecting member (222) is preferably a bolt, but is not limited thereto.

[0035] The handle (200) is a part that the user holds during cooking, and may be provided as an integral part or a detachable part that is detachably coupled to one side of the main body (100). The handle (200) is composed of a grip portion (210) and a second connecting portion (220). When the handle (200) is detachably coupled to the main body (100), the second connecting portion (220) of the handle (200) is connected to the first connecting portion (130) of the main body (100) described above. As described above, the second connecting portion (220) may be formed in a hollow circular or polygonal column shape so that the first connecting portion (130) can be inserted therein, and the second connecting portion (220) may be inserted into the first connecting portion (130) that is formed so as to have a hollow interior. A second through hole (not shown) is formed on one side of the second connecting portion (220) at a position corresponding to the first through hole (132). The first connecting portion (130) and the second connecting portion (220) are fixed by inserting a connecting member (222) into the first through hole (132) and the second through hole (not shown). The grip portion (220) extends from the second connecting portion (210) to one side (right side in FIG. 2) and is bent upward at a predetermined angle.

[0036] The dividing means (300) is inserted into the main body (100) to define the molding space (120). Specifically, the dividing means (300) is composed of a dividing body (310), a slide groove (320), etc. The dividing body (310) has a shape corresponding to the extension (124) of the molding space (120). At least one surface of the dividing body (310) is inserted into the interior of the main body (100) to define the molding space (120). It is preferable that the height of one surface of the dividing body (310) inserted into the interior of the main body (100) be formed to be equal to or higher than the height of the main body (100). A slide groove (310) into which a part of the main body frame (110) is inserted is formed on one surface of the dividing body (310) inserted into the interior of the main body (100). That is, by fitting the main body frame (110) into the slide groove (310), one side of the divided body (310) is inserted into the main body (100) to define a molding space (120). Meanwhile, the dividing means (300) inserted into the central portion (122) is formed in a shape corresponding to the central portion (122) and is completely inserted into the main body frame (110), so that the slide groove (320) may not be formed. The cooking utensil (1) according to the present invention is provided with at least one dividing means (300) so that the extension portion (124) can be variously divided as needed, thereby deforming the shaping means (120). A ring (340) may be further provided on one side (upper side in FIG. 3) of the divided body (310). The ring (340) serves as a handle of the divided body (310) and may be formed as a ring having a circular, semicircular, or polygonal shape, but is not limited thereto. It is preferable that the above ring (340) be fixed to the upper side of the above split body (310) by spot welding. This makes it easy to clean food or foreign substances stuck to the area where the ring (340) is connected.

[0037] Here, the main body (100) and the dividing means (300) may be made of stainless steel, preferably made of 400 series stainless steel, and most preferably made of ferritic or martensitic stainless steel. Since the 400 series stainless steel is magnetic, the dividing means (300) can be easily detached from the main body (100) and is fixed so as not to be separated during use.

[0038]

[0039] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the main body (100) of the cooking utensil (1) may be provided with a first coupling wing (140), and the dividing means (300) may be provided with a second coupling wing (330). The first coupling wing (140) is formed to protrude outward from the side surface of the main body frame (110), and the second coupling wing (330) is formed to protrude outward from the lower side surface of the divided body (310). When the divided body (330) is inserted into and combined with the main body frame (110), the first coupling wing (140) and the second coupling wing (330) come into contact with each other to couple and fix the main body (100) and the dividing means (300). A coupling projection (142) protruding upward from one side (upper center in FIG. 4) of the first coupling wing (140) may be provided on one side (upper center in FIG. 4). In addition, a coupling hole (332) is formed on one side (upper center in FIG. 6) of the second coupling wing (330). When the dividing means (300) is coupled to the main body (110), the coupling projection (142) is inserted into the coupling hole (332), and the divided body (310) is fixed to the main body frame (110).

[0040] At least one first fixing hole (144) and one second fixing hole (334) may be further formed in the first coupling wing (140) and the second coupling wing (330) to fix the main body frame (110) and the split body (310). A nut (146) may be further provided on one side (lower side in FIG. 5) of the first coupling wing (140). The nut (146) is spot-welded to the lower surface of the first fixing hole (144) and screw-connected with a bolt passing through the first fixing hole (144) and the second fixing hole (334). Here, in the case of the splitting means (300) mounted on the upper surface of the central portion (122), as shown in FIG. 8, the second coupling wing (330) may be formed to extend outward from the corner of the split body (310).

[0041]

[0042] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, a series of processes for assembling a cooking utensil (1) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described through each component of the cooking utensil (1). In addition, the operation of the cooking utensil (1) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0043]

[0044] As described above, the main body (100) and the handle (200) may be formed as an integral body, but the following description will be based on an embodiment in which the handle (200) is detachably connected to one side of the main body (100).

[0045] First, the main body (100) and the handle (200) are connected to each other. Specifically, the first connecting portion (130) and the second connecting portion (220) of the handle (200) are connected so that the first through-hole (132) and the second through-hole (not shown) are aligned with each other, and the connecting member (222) is inserted into the first through-hole (132) and the second through-hole (not shown). Here, the handle (200) is provided to be detachable from the main body (100) so as to be easy to store, and the connecting direction of the handle (200) can be changed so that the user can easily hold it even when using it by turning the main body (100) upside down. The cooking utensil (1) according to the present invention can be used just by connecting the handle (200) to the main body (100). When egg water, dough, etc. are poured into the molding space (120) formed inside the main body (100) on the frying pan and heated, food can be manufactured in the shape of the molding space (120). Here, the molding space (120) is not particularly limited as long as it has a shape including a central portion (122) and an extension portion (124) extending radially from the central portion (122), but FIGS. 1 to 8 of the present specification illustrate a main body (100) in which a cross-shaped molding space (120) is formed with a rectangular extension portion (124) extending radially from a rectangular central portion (122). When egg water or dough, etc. are cooked using the cooking utensil (1) according to the present invention, and other ingredients are piled up in the central portion and then wrapped with radially extended egg custard or cooked dough, the ingredients inside do not flow out under the egg custard or cooked dough, making it easy to eat.

[0046] Next, the main body frame (110) is inserted through the slide groove (320) formed in the divided body (310), and the molding space (120) of the main body (100) is divided by the dividing means (300). As a result, the molding space (120) is transformed into a desired shape. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, when one dividing means (300) is mounted on the extension portion (124) on one side (the left side of FIGS. 1 and 4) of the cross-shaped main body frame (110), the molding space (120) is transformed into a “T” shape, when two dividing means (300) are mounted on the symmetrical extension portions (124), the molding space (120) is transformed into a long rectangular shape, and when three dividing means (300) are mounted on each of the extension portions (124), the molding space (120) is transformed into a small rectangular shape. In this way, by changing the shape of the molding space (120) through the dividing means (300), it is possible to manufacture egg rolls or cooked dough of various shapes as needed using only one cooking utensil.

[0047] At this time, a ring (340) for gripping is provided on the upper side of the split body (310), and the main body (100) and the dividing means (300) are made of 400 series stainless steel, so that the dividing means (300) can be easily mounted on the main body frame (310) simply by gripping the ring (340) and placing it close to the main body frame (310).

[0048] Here, the coupling projection (142) protruding from the upper surface of the first coupling wing (140) is inserted into the coupling hole (332) formed in the second coupling wing (330) so that the dividing means (300) is fixed to the main body (100). Furthermore, by inserting bolts or the like into the first fixing hole (144) and the second fixing hole (334) formed in the first coupling wing (140) and the second coupling wing (330), respectively, the dividing means (300) can be more firmly fixed to the main body (100). At this time, a nut (146) is spot-welded to the lower surface of the first fixing hole (144), so that bolt coupling is easy.

[0049] The user can use the cooking utensil (1) of the present invention to manufacture food in the shape of a partially partitioned molding space (120) by mounting the dividing means (300) on the upper surface of the main body (100), and can also use the cooking utensil (1) with the dividing means (300) mounted on the entire main body frame (310) by turning it over and using it like a pan with a partitioned cooking space.

[0050]

[0051] In this way, according to the cooking utensil of the present invention, toast, burgers or sandwiches can be produced in which the contents are prevented from spilling when consumed, and the forming space can be modified and used as needed.

[0052]

[0053] The above description is merely an illustrative illustration of the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
