Strainer device
A strainer device ( 1 ) is described, which may be mounted on a pour-out of a container by way of fastening means ( 12 ) on a lower side ( 14 ) which may face the container ( 3 ). The strainer device ( 1 ) comprises a plurality of sieve elements ( 10 ) which are pivotably arranged on a sieve element holder ( 15 ) in a plane parallel to the lower side ( 14 ) of the strainer device ( 1 ), at least partly separated from one another by way of slots ( 11 ). As a whole a flexible, bendable comb-like strainer device ( 1 ) is formed, which is may be fastened with a fixation device ( 2 ) on the pour-out of the container in a simply releasable manner. The strainer device ( 1 ) is preferably designed of a heat-resistant plastic, wherein stainless steel may also be applied completely or partly for the design of the sieve elements ( 10 ) and/or the sieve element holder ( 15 ).
1. A strainer device mountable on a pour-out of a container and which comprises fastening means on a lower side, said fastening means being designed such that said fastening means may be actively connected to a pour-out edge of differently large containers, wherein the strainer device comprises a plurality of sieve elements arranged on an elastically deformable sieve element holder in a manner at least partly separated from one another by way of slots, so that a comb-like strainer device may be formed with at least some of the plurality of sieve elements movable in a plane parallel to the lower side.
2. A strainer device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sieve elements is fastened in a releasable or non-releasable manner on the sieve element holder or is integrally formed on the sieve element holder.
3. A strainer device according to claim 1 , wherein the sieve element holder at least approximately runs along an outer periphery of the strainer device, is elastically stretchable in a plane and is actively connected to the pour-out edge by way of the fastening means.
4. A strainer device according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening means in the region of the outer periphery of the strainer device is arranged on the lower side of the strainer device.
5. A strainer device according to claim 4 , wherein the fastening means is arranged along a circular arc.
6. A strainer device according to claim 1 , wherein the sieve element holder is manufactured of a sheet-steel part or of a heat-resistant plastic.
7. A strainer device according to claim 1 , wherein the sieve elements are manufactured of at least one of sheet-steel part and of a heat-resistant plastic.
8. A strainer device according to claim 1 , wherein the strainer device is provided with a fixation device, wherein the strainer device is releasably fastenable on the pour-out by way of fixation means and fixation hook-in means actively connected to the pour-out edge.
9. A strainer device according to claim 8 , wherein the fixation means are elastic bands.
10. A strainer device according to claim 8 , wherein the fixation means are connected to a grip.
