Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a turban shell opener that permits the meat and guts of turbans to be simply and cleanly separated from the shells by providing the opener with a specific blade having a specific top edge and a specific side part. SOLUTION: This turban opener has the blade 1 that has a curved blade face at its top edge 1a and a plurality of notches 1b on both sides of the blade 1. Preferably, a blade part 1c is formed at a part near the grip 2 on one side of the blade 1 in this case. Thus, as the blade 1 has a proper curve at the top edge 1a, it can be readily inserted from the gap between the lid and the shell into the inside of the shell. Further, the meat and guts can be taken out by hooking them with the notch 1b without tearing off the guts from the meat and the lid of the turban can be smoothly removed from the meat by cutting the meat at their connection part.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a turtle opener for removing turtle shells from shells.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When aiming for a shore porcupine or a shore porcupine in surf fishing, it is common to use turban shells as fishing baits.

[0003] The turtle has a lid, and it is difficult to remove the body from the shell when the lid is closed. Then, a tool such as a knife or a spatula-shaped “sazae opener”, such as a butter knife, is inserted between the shell and the lid to take out the body.

[0004] However, since the inside of the shell of the turtle is spiral, it is difficult to insert it into the hull with a knife or a spatula opener. In addition, it was difficult to take out the body, and the body often became ragged while picking inside the shell.

[0005] When using the body of soybean as a bait, the internal organs are often taken out together with the body and attached to a needle, but when taken out of the shell, the internal organs are cut off and the internal organs remain in the shell. Often.

[0006]

Therefore, there is a need for a tool for easily and cleanly removing the body of the turtle with its internal organs from the shell.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sazae opener, wherein a tip (1a) of a blade (1) has a curved blade surface, and a plurality of notches are provided on both sides of the blade (1). (1b).

According to this, the tip (1a) of the blade (1)
The shell (3b) and the shell of Sazae (3)
It is easy to insert into the inside of the shell (3a) from the gap of (3a), and the notch (1c) allows the body (3c) and internal organs (3d) to be pulled out and taken out, so the body (3c) and internal organs ( 3d) will not be cut.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a Sazae opener.
In this Sazae opener, a blade-like portion (1c) is formed at a position near the grip (2) on one side of the blade (1).

According to this, the portion of the body (3c) of the turban shell (3c) attached to the lid (3b) is cut like a knife with a sharp blade (1c), and the lid (3b) is removed from the body (3c). Can be removed.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows this embodiment. (1) is a blade made of stainless steel to prevent rust. In addition, the blade surface of the tip (1a) of the blade (1) is bent. Five cutouts (1b) are provided on both sides near the tip of the blade (1).

FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of the blade (1) before bending the tip (1a). The notch (1b) is a simple rectangle, but may have another shape, for example, a trapezoidal notch (10b) as shown in FIG.

(2) is a grip for gripping during work, and the blade (1) is fixed. In the embodiment, the grip (2) is made of wood so that it is not slippery when grasped,
It may be made of synthetic resin, rubber, metal or the like.

Next, how to use the embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the inside of the turtle, in which (3a) is a shell, (3b) is a lid, (3c) is a body, (3d) is an internal organ, and (3e)
Indicates a scallop.

FIGS. 5 to 7 are diagrams for explaining the method of use. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the tip (1a) of the blade (1) is inserted between the shell (3a) of the turtle fly (3) and the lid (3b). Sazae
The shell (3a) of (3) has a shape in which the inside of the lid (3b) is depressed, but since the tip (1a) of the blade (1) has a curve that matches this depression, It can be inserted exactly along the inside of the shell (3a).

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the blade (1) is inserted into the back while raising the Sazae opener. When the blade (1) is moved along the inside of the shell (3a) in this state,
The shell (3e) attached to the inside of the shell (3a) can be cut.

After cutting the scallop (3e) as shown in FIG. 7, the blade is moved along the inside of the shell (3a).
Invert (1) so that the tip (1a) faces inward.
At this time, the notch (1b) of the blade (1) is
It is caught so as to bite into d).

In this state, if the blade is removed from the shell (3a), the internal organs (3d) and the body (3c) can be removed. blade
The body (3c) may be taken out so as to push up on the back of (1). The body (3c) does not collapse, and the internal organs (3d) can be taken out neatly with the body (3c) attached.

The notch (1b) is caught by the body (3c) and the internal organs (3d), but is not sharp enough to cut them.
The body (3c) and internal organs (3d) rarely tear.

The body (3c) taken out is provided with a lid (3b) and cannot be used as food as it is, so it is necessary to remove the lid (3b). In the embodiment, the blade (1) has a sharp edged portion (1c) near the grip (2) on one side of the blade (1), and at this portion the portion attached to the lid (3b) is cut and the lid is cut. (3b) and the body (3c) can be separated.

[Comparative Example] In order to examine the effect of the present invention, a comparative example having the same configuration as that of the above-mentioned embodiment except that the notched portion was not provided was produced, and the work of removing the body of the turtle was similarly performed. .

Since the tip of the blade is bent as in the present invention, it is easy to insert the blade between the lid and the shell, which is superior to the conventional simple spatula opener in this respect. ing. It was easier to put out the body by the blade shape than the spatula-shaped Sazae opener, but the boundary between the body and the internal organs was broken, and the internal organs often remained in the shell even when the body was taken out. this is,
This is probably because the power of the blade concentrated only on the body, and the force worked in the direction in which the body and internal organs were separated.

In other words, in the present invention, the notch (1b) is
(3c) is caught by the internal organs (3d) together with the power of the blade.
(3c) and the internal organs (3d) work equally, so they are not likely to break.

The present invention is not only used as a fishing tool as described above, but also makes use of the ability to easily and cleanly take out the turban shell, making it possible to cook turban sashimi and other turtle sashimi dishes. It can also be used as an instrument.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sazae opener that allows the body and internal organs to be easily and neatly taken out of the shell of the squirrel.
