[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to, for example, a solid material removal tool in a container in which plum wine as a liquid and plum fruits as a solid material are stored.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, plum wine containing plum fruit has become a popular product, and as its container, a bottle with a large spout diameter of 1 liter to 5 liters is used. However, the bottle was heavy and had a problem that it was easily broken when subjected to an impact. Therefore, in recent years, plum wine has been provided in which plums are brewed using so-called plastic bottles that are lightweight and hard to break.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the PET bottle is convenient in the distribution stage of the product and in the handling of the consumer, but the spout is formed with a small diameter, and the diameter is at most about 42 mm. The actual diameter is only slightly smaller than the spout. For this reason, it was very difficult to remove the ume nuts because of the thickness of the chopsticks, even when trying to use long chopsticks to eat the ume nuts in the container. It is also conceivable to use a fork or the like to pierce and remove the plum fruit, but in this case, the skin of the plum fruit is torn, and the inside of the plum meat and meat juice leaks out, making the plum wine cloudy. Occurs. Therefore, if you want to eat plum fruit, you must finish drinking all the plum wine in the container, or transfer the plum wine to another container and turn the whole container upside down. There was a disadvantage that it could not be taken out.

In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a solid material removal tool in a container that can easily remove solid materials such as ume nuts from a container having a small-diameter spout. .

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the solid object removing device in the container according to the present invention is provided with a small-diameter spout, and is a solid object extracting device in a container in which solids smaller than the spout are stored together with liquid inside. Thus, a holding portion made of at least two or more elastic pieces that can be inserted into the spout is provided at the lower end of the insertion shaft.

More specifically, the elastic piece of the holding portion is formed in a narrow arc shape that curves inward, and three or more project from the lower end of the insertion shaft, and the lower end portions of these arc-shaped elastic pieces are opened. Preferably, it is in a state. In this case, it is preferable to provide a damage prevention portion having an arc surface at the lower end of the arc-shaped elastic piece. Alternatively, the elastic pieces of the holding portion may be annular, and each annular elastic piece may be opened downward.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The solids removal tool 5 in the container 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a resin molded product. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a small-diameter spout 2 having an inner diameter of about 42 mm, such as a PET bottle, is used. A solid material such as plum fruit 4 stored together with plum wine 3 as a liquid is taken out of a container 1 provided with the same. An insertion shaft 6 and three elastic pieces 9 for elastically holding the plum fruit 4 are provided. And a holding portion 8 made of:

[0008] The insertion shaft 6 includes a pair of first shaft members 6A and a second shaft member 6B. A plug-in type connecting portion 7 is provided at an upper end of the first shaft member 6A. By inserting one end of the second shaft member 6 </ b> B into 7, the container 1 is connected to be longer than the overall height of the container 1. The connecting structure is not limited to a plug-in type, and a well-known structure can be applied.

The holding portion 8 has the elastic piece 9 formed in a narrow circular arc shape inwardly curved, and a lower end portion thereof allows the plum fruit 4 to be inserted into each arc-shaped elastic piece 9 from above. It is open. These arc-shaped elastic pieces 9 are formed so as to be thin so as to have elasticity, and are sized so as to be able to be inserted into the spout 2 of the container 1 and are protruded at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

The solid object removal tool 5 is provided with, for example, an elastic holding structure (not shown) on the outer periphery of the container 1 and is detachably attached to the container 1.

In use, the shaft members 6A and 6B are detached from the container 1 and connected to each other, the shaft member 6B is gripped, and the holding portion 8 is inserted into the spout 2 as shown in FIG. . Then, by pushing the plum nut 4 submerged at the bottom of the container 1 from above, each arc-shaped elastic piece 9 is bent outward to hold the plum nut 4 in the holding portion 8. I can do it. By raising the insertion shaft 6 in this state, as shown in the drawing, even if the liquid plum wine 3 is still in the container 1, the plum can be removed from the inside of the container 1 by one insertion operation. Actual 4 can be taken out.

As shown in FIG. 3, the solid object removal tool 5 of the first embodiment has a lower end of each of the arc-shaped elastic pieces 9 bulging into a circular cross section, and a lower end having a circular arc surface. A prevention part 10 may be provided, and as shown in FIG. 4, a lower part of each arc-shaped elastic piece 9 may be bent outward, and a damage prevention part 11 having an arc surface may be provided at the lower end. In this way, when the plum nut 4 is pushed into the plum nut 4 from above, the skin of the soft plum nut 4 is damaged, and the inside plum meat or gravy leaks out to make the plum wine 3 cloudy. Can be reliably prevented.

As shown in FIG. 5, the solid object removing device 5 of the second embodiment has a configuration in which a holding portion 8 provided at a lower end of an insertion shaft 6 is constituted by a pair of annular elastic pieces 12. It is different. The annular elastic piece 12 is integrally formed with the first shaft 6A so as to open downward.

In the solid object removing device 5 of the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the holding portion 8 is inserted from the spout 2 of the container 1 and pushed into the plum nut 4 from above. Then, the ring-shaped elastic pieces 12 are bent outward to hold the plum fruit 4 between them. At this time, since the inside of the annular elastic piece 12 is open, the outer peripheral portion of the plum fruit 4 enters into this opening, and as a result, the plum fruit 4 falls out of the holding portion 8 in the container 1. It is possible to remove the plum fruit 4 without fail.

[0015] The solid object take-out device 5 of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the elastic pieces 9 and 12 constituting the holding portion 8 are shaped so as to hold the plum fruit 4 without falling off. And the number, in particular, the number may be two or more.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the solid matter removing tool 5 is used for removing the plum fruit 4 stored in the container 1 such as a plastic bottle. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When taking out the solid matter stored in the container 1 from them, any of them can be used.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 As is clear from the above description, in the solid object removing device in the container of the present invention, since the holding portion made of an elastic piece that can be inserted into the small-diameter spout is provided at the lower end of the insertion shaft, the liquid is contained in the container. Even when remains, the solid matter in the container can be taken out by the holding portion. Therefore, for example, in recent years, it is possible to always eat not only plum wine but also plum fruits by using it when extracting plum fruit of plum wine, which is a popular product. As a result, in order to eat plum fruit, it is not necessary to perform troublesome work such as transferring the plum wine in a container to another container.

Further, since three or more elastic pieces of the holding portion are protruded in a narrow arc shape inwardly curved and have a narrow width, and these are in an open state, the solid matter can be simply pushed into the solid matter from above. The object can be held in the holding portion, and the held solid can be reliably prevented from falling off. In addition, if the arc-shaped elastic piece is provided with a damage preventing portion formed of an arcuate surface at the lower end, when the solid is soft, the solid is pushed from above into the solid and held in the holding portion. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the solid matter from being damaged. Further, if the elastic pieces of the holding portion are formed in a ring shape and they are opened downward, the outer peripheral portion of the solid material enters into the opening of the elastic piece. Without holding, it is possible to maintain the held state.
