Detailed Description Of The Invention
The present invention relates to a kind of spoon with bowl and shank.Said bowl has bowl edge and bowl width.Shank has the nearside shank edge that is connected to bowl edge, distally shank edge and the shank width relative with nearside shank edge.Shank has the intermediate plate that comprises the intermediate plate pedestal, and said intermediate plate is connected to shank edge, distally with the intermediate plate pedestal.Intermediate plate is given prominence to towards nearside shank edge at the shank edge from the distally.Intermediate plate has the free edge relative with the intermediate plate pedestal.Shank width be the bowl width at least about 50%.
Fig. 1 shows the transparent view of spoon of the present invention.Spoon 20 has bowl 21, and said bowl has bowl edge 22.Bowl 21 has bowl bottom 24.Bowl 21 has bowl antetheca 25, and said antetheca is connected to bowl bottom 24.Bowl 21 has first bowl of sidewall 26, and said first bowl of sidewall is connected to bowl bottom 24 and bowl antetheca 25.Bowl 21 has second bowl of sidewall 27, and said second bowl of sidewall and first bowl of sidewall 26 are relatively and be connected to a bowl bottom 24 and a bowl antetheca 25.Bowl 21 has bowl rear wall 28, and said bowl rear wall and bowl antetheca 25 are relatively and be connected to bowl bottom 24, first bowl of sidewall 26 and second bowl of sidewall 27.Bowl antetheca 25, first bowl of sidewall 26, second bowl of sidewall 27 and a bowl rear wall 28 originate in bowl bottom 24 and end at bowl top 29.Spoon 20 extends in top side face T and bottom side B.Bowl top 29 is towards top side face T.
Shank 30 has nearside shank edge 31.Shank 30 has the distally shank edge 32 relative with nearside shank edge 31.Shank 30 have first side arm 33 with usually but be not second side arm 34 that always is arranged essentially parallel to first side arm 33, both all extend perpendicular to bowl 21 in Fig. 1 for they.First side arm 33 and second side arm 34 originate in nearside shank edge 31, and 32 places, shank edge are bonded together and stop in the distally.Shank 30 has space 35.Space 35 is centered on by nearside shank edge 31, shank edge, distally 32, first side arm 33 and second side arm 34.
Shank 30 has intermediate plate 40 therein.Intermediate plate 40 from the distally shank edge 32 31 outstanding towards nearside shank edge.Intermediate plate 40 has the intermediate plate pedestal 41 and free edge 42 that is connected to shank 30.Intermediate plate 40 has the undulations 43 of 42 extensions from intermediate plate pedestal 41 towards free edge usually.When spoon 20 was fastened on the flexible package, intermediate plate 40 can be with shank side arm 33 and 34 as tightening device.Do not accept the constraint of opinion, it is believed that spoon does not need extra material or device to fasten on the flexible package when intermediate plate and shank integration.Since intermediate plate from the distally shank edge outstanding towards nearside shank edge with bowl, therefore when spoon was fastened on the flexible package, intermediate plate, shank side arm and bowl top can contact the outside face of flexible package.This causes contact stabilization to increase (see figure 6).As used herein, shank edge 32 roughly stretches out (seeing Figure 11 equally) towards bowl 21 to phrase " the shank edge is outstanding towards nearside shank edge from the distally " indication intermediate plate 40 from the distally.
In Fig. 1, intermediate plate 40 has the undulations 43 of 42 extensions from intermediate plate pedestal 41 towards free edge.Undulations 43 has the convex surface 52 of contiguous intermediate plate pedestal 41.Intermediate plate 40 has concave surface 56 between convex surface 52 and free edge 42.Do not accept the constraint of opinion, it is believed that undulations provides tightening force and the little space to flexible material, wherein rolled-up flexible material can be kept by intermediate plate.This undulations has also reduced following possibility: intermediate plate will be by mistake drops or flies off from flexible package at duration of storage.The undulations of having found the type remains to spoon on the flexible package than straight intermediate plate significantly better because at duration of storage and/or when the flexible material pack is below intermediate plate, the power of intermediate plate not can by as much convert cross motion/power into.
The shape of the undulations 43 on the top surface 46 also is quite to meet ergonomics: its customer use spoon when coming allocated product the encourage consumer thumb cosily be placed on it and keep intermediate plate with the palm of the hand.This provides point of leverage then, compares with the situation when only keeping intermediate plate with finger tip, and said point of leverage makes and dips the strain that process becomes more easy and reduced finger and wrist.When spoon fastening flexible package, the shape of the lower surface 47 of concave surface 56 can be used as the buckling clamping part to flexible package.
In Fig. 1, bowl 21 has optional measuring mark 70 in first bowl of sidewall 26, second bowl of sidewall 27 and/or bowl antetheca 25.Measuring mark 70 can be used to make the customer can limit the amount of the product that will be used for different situations; For example, be used for big clothing wash load, be used for extremely dirty load etc.
The overflow volume of bowl 21 is generally about 5mL to about 450mL, and about 20mL is to about 320mL, or about 30mL is to about 150mL.The overflow volume of bowl 21 can be measured through the maximum water volume that stably remains in the spoon.The periphery of the bowl top 29 of the spoon of being painted among Fig. 1 20 is an essentially rectangular, has the round edge edge.Can be circular, substantially elliptical, roughly polygonal (for example, triangle, quadrangle, pentagon, hexagon etc.) etc. as required from the periphery of the observed bowl of top side face T top 29, and have turning sharp-pointed or rounding.These shapes can be according to their aesthetic property or certain functional selection.For example, spoon is included in the flexible package with the detergent granules product.Can a plurality of flexible packages be piled up.Thereby the spoon that is included in the flexible package of bottom can be subjected to heavy weight weight.Thereby the spoon in the flexible package may be torn flexible package internally.In this case, the corner shape of rounding is softer to the effect of flexible package, because said turning has not too sharp-pointed edge.In other cases, the sharp-pointed spoon in turning can be preferred so that be matched with certain package shape, and/or is used for the bigger rigidity of structure.
Fig. 2 shows the backplan of the spoon of Fig. 1.Intermediate plate or have the part of grabbing 60 around the concave surface 56 of intermediate plate 40.Intermediate plate 40 has three and grabs part 60, and they are wave line.Grab part and have the height that begins from lower surface, and said height can be about 0.1mm to about 5mm, about 0.2mm is about 3mm extremely, or about 0.3mm about 2mm extremely.It is outstanding from the lower surface 47 of intermediate plate 40 to grab part 60, and has the height of about 0.5mm.Intermediate plate has at least one and grabs part on lower surface.Grab part and can be rib, line and/or point, if but grab part and protrude in intermediate plate, then saidly grab part and be not limited to these.Intermediate plate can have about 1 to about 20, and about 2-15 or about 3 to about 10 grab part.When spoon was fastened on the flexible package, grabbing part can increase the friction with flexible package.This has reduced unexpected slippage intermediate plate and unexpected possibility of unpacking.

Fig. 3 shows the lateral plan of the spoon of Fig. 1.Free edge 42 rises to top side face T from concave surface 56 obliquely.The top of free edge 42 can separate with the plane that top side face by shank 30 forms by height h, and said height can be about 2mm to about 10mm, and about 2.5mm is about 8mm extremely, or about 3mm about 7mm extremely.This has improved the availability of spoon significantly, because it allows with singlehanded spoon to be clamped on the flexible package as follows: also clamp flexible package along the top side face of the downward slippage shank of flexible package securely up to the intermediate plate engagement simply.See below equally to the discussion of Fig. 5.
Fig. 4 shows like the section-drawing along the being seen intermediate plate of line 4-4 among Fig. 2.Intermediate plate 40 has the intermediate plate pedestal 41 and free edge 42 that is connected to shank 30.Intermediate plate pedestal 41 is connected to shank edge, distally 32.Intermediate plate 40 has the undulations 43 of 42 extensions from intermediate plate pedestal 41 towards free edge.When top side face T observes, undulations 43 has sinusoidal shape, and said shape comprises the concave surface 56 of convex surface 52 and contiguous convex surface 52.In Fig. 4, convex surface 52 is positioned to contiguous intermediate plate pedestal 41.
When being inserted into flexible package (see Fig. 5 100) in the spoon 20, with its slippage between intermediate plate 40 and shank 30.Free edge 42 is positioned at shank 30 tops, thus the customer can be easily with singlehanded with flexible package (see Fig. 5 100) slippage below the intermediate plate 40, and through intermediate plate 40, shank 30 and/or grab part 60 and make it keep fixing.
Fig. 5 shows the transparent view of flexible package, and the opening of said packing is for folding and by spoon of the present invention fastening.When the customer opened the flexible package 100 that has wherein comprised product first, the part of flexible package 100 was excised or is removed to form opening at periphery 102.Said opening is enough big so that use spoon 20, thereby from flexible package 100, takes out some products.Possibly need flexible package 100 that sealing again opens to avoid the in-to-in product and overflow and/or to avoid moisture or air admission in the flexible package of opening 100 then.
Spoon 20 can especially be fastened on the following flexible package 100, and its periphery 102 is rolled-up or fold on himself at least once, and twice, three time or four times, so that seal flexible package 100 again.In Fig. 5, the periphery 102 be folded himself last three times.In order to use intermediate plate 40; Make flexible package 100 near free edge 42; The periphery 102 that will fold as follows thereafter is directed in the undulations 43 below the lower surface 47: with flexible package 100 towards 41 slippages of intermediate plate pedestal; Through free edge (see Fig. 6 42), concave surface (see Fig. 6 56), enter into the storage space (see Fig. 6 58) of intermediate plate then, said storage space is formed by convex surface (see Fig. 6 52) on the bottom side B of spoon 20.Do not accept the constraint of opinion, it is believed that this intermediate plate design has reduced the possibility of spoon in duration of storage slippage from the flexible package.When spoon 20 by slippage in folding periphery 102 time, it prevents that the periphery 102 that folds from opening again.When spoon 20 by slippage in folding periphery 102 time, said folding width can be about 3mm usually to about 30mm, about 4mm is about 25mm extremely, or about 5mm about 20mm extremely.Below convex surface 52, spoon 20 is fastened on the flexible package 100 through periphery 102 fastenings that will fold, thereby the closed state of folding periphery 102 is kept by spoon 20.Usually, the spoon of this paper leans flexible package through the top side face that keeps spoon and has reduced the outstanding of spoon in this process.
Fig. 6 shows the embodiment of observed Fig. 5 the other way around so that intermediate plate 40 to be shown.Folding periphery 102 is by intermediate plate 40 fastenings of spoon 20.Convex surface 52 provides storage space 58 to hold folding periphery 102.Undulations can be used for better spoon being fixed on the flexible package.Intermediate plate pedestal 41 remains closed folding periphery 102 with concave surface 56.Intermediate plate 40 from the distally shank edge 32 31 outstanding towards nearside shank edge.When spoon 20 is fastened to 100 last times of flexible package, a bowl top 29 can contact flexible package 100, thereby causes the mating surfaces of the increase of spoon 20 and flexible package 100.Therefore, the intermediate plate of this paper also is used for stablizing the fastening of spoon to flexible package.
Fig. 7 shows as along the being seen section-drawing with flexible package of intermediate plate of the line 7-7 among Fig. 6.When intermediate plate 40 is fastened to folding 102 last times of periphery of flexible package 100, one or more parts 60 (if existence) of grabbing possibly contact flexible package 100.Through increasing the friction between spoon 20 and the flexible package 100, grabbing part 60 can fasten to intermediate plate 40 on the flexible package 100 more firmly.This can help to reduce and/or avoided the possibility of spoon 20 slippage from the flexible package 100.Spoon 20 between intermediate plate 40 and the shank 30 by slippage to folding periphery 102.When spoon 20 along the folding periphery 102 of flexible package 100 during by slippage, spoon 20 can be at intermediate plate pedestal 41 places the edge of the folding periphery 102 of contact.When folding periphery 102 rested in the storage space 58, folding periphery 102 can be locked between convex surface 52 and the shank 30.Therefore, the periphery 102 of flexible package 100 is firmly maintained, thereby has guaranteed that flexible package 100 will can not open or allow moisture and air admission.
Owing to there is the free edge 42 of intermediate plate 40, the elasticity of intermediate plate 40 makes the user be easy to a part of slippage with flexible package 100 in the storage space 58 between intermediate plate 40 and the shank 30.In Fig. 7, intermediate plate 40 has from outstanding three of lower surface 47 grabs part 60.
In the embodiment of this paper, can reinforce intermediate plate pedestal 41 to prevent or to reduce to take place the possibility of fracture at this point.Because intermediate plate 40 gets at most in the 41 places deflection of intermediate plate pedestal, be the position that most of stress and strain is concentrated therefore in use and this place of duration of storage.Therefore; Can reinforce the intermediate plate pedestal as follows: for example; This part is made thicklyer, made (for example, material has more elasticity as required, has more rigidity etc.), this part is made thinlyyer and/or added additional structural elements to solve the problem of stress concentration of this point with material different.In the embodiment of this paper, to about 100%, or about 5% to about 50% than the adjacent part thick about 1% of intermediate plate 40 for intermediate plate pedestal 41, or about 7% to about 25%.In the embodiment of this paper, to about 100%, or about 5% to about 50% than the adjacent part thick about 1% of shank 30 for intermediate plate pedestal 41, or about 7% to about 25%.
