Description

  The present invention relates to an ingredient cutting tool for beautifully and simply cutting onions, other vegetables, and other ingredients.

  Conventionally, auxiliary devices have been developed and proposed for sending vegetables such as onions cleanly and easily.

JP 2003-299484 A JP-A-8-17333 JP 2004-65970 A Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3056612 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3056612 discloses an onion chopping device that is safe, convenient, and easy to operate, and that uses an onion chopping device that can be cut into the same shape by anyone and an arcuate blade associated therewith. A kitchen knife with it has been proposed. By rotating this device itself, it became possible to insert the blade from any angle by attaching a turntable without taking up space. The blade was made into a special bow, and the strength of the hand was measured to maintain the strength that anyone could use.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-173334 proposes a vegetable cutter that chops onions and further chops radishes and potatoes with one touch.
A net-like cutter with plain weave of piano wire is fixed inside an annular frame with a handle, and the onion roots and stems are cut parallel to each other so that the cut-off surface is perpendicular to the surface of the vegetable stand. Is placed on the auxiliary table and the cutter part is pushed, the onion is chopped with a mesh area.
However, in the above invention, in order to cut with a reticulated cutter portion, unlike a knife like a knife, it cannot be cut unless a large force is applied. There is a risk of crushing.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-65970 “Cooking Aid” proposes an auxiliary tool that can chop chopped onions and the like without requiring skill.
In the auxiliary tool, a substantially hemispherical main body is provided with a substantially hemispherical internal space, and cuts are provided at equal intervals in the vertical direction over substantially the entire internal space. Prepare a mounting table with dimensions that match the opening in the internal space of the main unit, place an onion, etc. cut in half on the mounting table, cover the main unit, and sequentially put the kitchen knife in the notch provided on the main unit. Then, the object is cut, and then the main body is rotated by 90 degrees to cut the object in the same manner, thereby creating a chopped portion.
However, the above auxiliary tool only serves as a guide for putting the kitchen knife into the object evenly. In addition to using the auxiliary tool, separate knifes are used to cut the blade of the kitchen knife as many times as possible. It has to be cut by hitting, which takes time and effort.

Utility model registration No. 3056612 “Onion chopping machine” proposes an onion chopping machine that can easily make chopped onions.
This is an onion chopping machine that uses a safety cover that is used by placing pillars on the cradle at equal intervals in the form of vertically long squares and covering them from above.
However, in the above onion chopping machine, the pillar only serves as a guide for putting the kitchen knife evenly into the object. It takes time and effort to cut a knife with a knife.

The food cutting tool according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the pedestal is provided with an uneven portion for stabilizing food to be cut.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the onion and other vegetables and other foodstuffs can be provided beautifully, and the foodstuff cutting tool for cutting easily can be provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The present invention is a food cutting tool for cutting food. In addition to a cutting tool for cutting onions, it can also be configured as a food cutting tool for cutting various vegetables. Moreover, besides vegetables, it can also comprise as what is utilized for various uses according to fruit, meat, meat products, cheese and other dairy products, confectionery, and other foodstuffs.

Hereinafter, the basic configuration of the food cutting tool of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a preferred embodiment of a food cutting tool of the present invention.
In FIG. 1 and each figure, the code | symbol 1 shows a base part, the code | symbol 10 shows the cutting blade collection | recovery part, the code | symbol 11 shows an uneven | corrugated | grooved part, the code | symbol 2 shows a cutting part, and the code | symbol 20 shows the cutting blade.
First, the food cutting tool of the present invention includes a pedestal 1 on which food such as vegetables to be cut is placed.
The pedestal portion 1 may have a flat plane as shown in FIG. 1, and food may be placed thereon.

  As another example, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the pedestal portion 1 may be provided with an uneven portion 11 for stabilizing the food to be cut. In the example shown in FIG. 2, a circular recess for positioning the food is provided, which is preferable for stabilizing a spherical food such as an onion or an apple. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 3, a convex portion on the guide is provided so that the food does not protrude from the pedestal portion 1.

  The pedestal portion 1 is provided with a cutting blade collecting portion 10 for collecting the cutting blade, so that the cutting blade 20 is inserted into the cutting blade collecting portion 10 when cutting the food or storing the food cutting tool. Has been.

The cutting part 2 is rotatably connected to the pedestal part 1. The connection method is, for example, a form connected by a hinge or the like, and in this case, the cutting blade 20 provided in the cutting part 2 by pushing down the cutting part 2 in the direction of the base part 1 on which the food is placed. In this way, the ingredients are cut.
The cutting blade 20 provided in the cutting part 2 can employ various shapes, sizes, and numbers of blades according to the type of food to be cut and the shape to be cut.
