Description

  The present invention relates to a peeler, and more particularly to an instrument used mainly for manually stripping root vegetables such as radishes, and to a firm and durable peeler developed mainly for business use and a blade thereof. Is.

  In general, the peeler is configured to support the blade body 23 in a bifurcated support portion 22 continuous to the handle portion 21 so as to be swingable (FIG. 6), and is widely used for general household use. The peeler blade body 23 is provided with a long hole 24 for releasing the peeled skin at the center of the metal plate, the distal end side of the long hole 24 is a blade 25, and the handle 21 side of the long hole 24 is a leather clamp 26. It is what.

  The blade body 23 in this conventional peeler is made by pressing a thin metal plate and does not have sufficient strength, so its length is suppressed to about 5 cm. Therefore, there is a problem that not only the amount of skin that can be peeled off in one operation is small, but the work for peeling the skin is troublesome, and the durability of the blade is poor because the strength of the blade is poor. This is hardly a problem in ordinary households, but it is a problem that cannot be ignored when a large amount of skinning work must be performed every day, such as in supermarkets, restaurants, and food factories.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has an overall sufficient strength and high durability, and the blade is solid and sharp and has a sufficient width with respect to root vegetables. It is an object of the present invention to provide a peeler and a peeler blade that can efficiently perform skinning work of root vegetables and contribute to reduction in work cost.

  The peeler according to claim 1 for solving the above-mentioned problem is supported between a handle portion, a blade body support portion that extends obliquely downward from the tip of the handle portion, and both end portions of the blade body support portion. The blade body is composed of a blade and a blade holder, and the blade holder rises at both ends and engages with an end portion of the blade body support portion, and a length direction. A clearance hole formed over substantially the entire length of the central portion, a blade fixing portion positioned on the tip side of the clearance hole, and a skin presser portion positioned on the handle portion side of the clearance hole, Is a hardened blade, and is fixed to the back side of the blade fixing portion such that a part thereof is exposed to the escape hole.

  Preferably, the blade fixing portion, the skin pressing portion, and the blade are curved, and the blade fixing portion is inclined upward with respect to the skin pressing portion.

  The blade body is swingably supported between both end portions of the blade body support portion, or the blade body is fixed between both end portions of the blade body support portion. In the latter case, the fixed positions of both end portions of the blade body support portion with respect to the blade body may be changeable.

  The peeler according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and in particular, the blade is separate from the blade holder, the blade is sharp because it is quenched, and is fixed to the blade holder having sufficient strength. In addition, since the strength of the blade itself is increased, it can have a sufficient width for root vegetables, thereby improving the efficiency of skinning of root vegetables and contributing to lowering the work cost. There is.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The peeler according to the present invention is fixed or swingable between the handle portion 1, the blade body support portion 2 that extends obliquely downward from the tip of the handle portion 1, and the both ends of the blade body support portion 2. The blade body 3 is supported.

  The handle 1 and the blade support 2 are integral and are usually made of metal. The handle portion 1 has a shape and length suitable for gripping, and the blade support 2 is formed so as to face obliquely downward from the handle portion 1. The angle formed by the handle 1 and the blade support 2 is, for example, about 120 degrees (see FIG. 2). Engagement pieces 4 for locking the blade body 3 so as to be swingable are extended inward at both ends of the blade body support portion 2.

  The blade body 3 includes a blade 5 and a blade holder 6 (see FIG. 3). The blade holder 6 is typically made of stainless steel, and is raised at both ends to form a side plate 7 in which a rectangular engagement hole 8 is formed that engages with the engagement piece 4 of the blade support 2, a blade fixing portion 9, a skin The presser part 10 is integrally formed.

  The blade body 3 may be fixed to both end portions of the blade body support portion 2 or may be supported in a swingable manner. The example shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 is a case where it is swingably supported. In this case, the engagement hole 8 is one large, and the length of the engagement piece 4 is the length of the diagonal line of the engagement hole 8. By making the length slightly shorter than this, the engagement piece 4 becomes swingable in the engagement hole 8.

  The example shown in FIG. 5 is a case where it is fixed. In this case, the engagement hole 8 is slightly larger than the engagement piece 4, and the engagement piece 4 fits into the engagement hole 8 in a close state. Get stuck. In the example shown in FIG. 5, two engagement holes 8 are formed so that the user can arbitrarily change the fixing position (the blade support portion 2 is expanded and the blade body 3 is detached). .)

  Between the blade fixing portion 9 and the skin presser portion 10, a clearance hole 11 having an appropriate width is secured over the entire length. The blade fixing portion 9 is inclined upward with respect to the skin presser portion 10 (see FIG. 3).

  The blade 5 is fixed to the back surface of the blade fixing portion 9 by, for example, spot welding so that the blade tip protrudes in the direction of the escape hole 11. The blade 5 used here is not simply a blade made of stainless steel, but is made of a thin plate of stainless steel, iron or the like having a thickness of 0.4 mm, for example, and is hardened to have sufficient strength. Since the blade 5 is fixed and supported by the blade fixing portion 9 and is firm and does not bend, it can be longer than the conventional one, for example, about 7 cm long. The width of the epidermis that can be peeled off is considerably wide.

  The method of using the peeler according to the present invention is basically the same as the conventional one (see FIG. 4). However, in the case of this peeler, the blade 5 is quenched and has a good sharpness and a sharp cut. There is little pain of ingredients. And since the blade 5 is curving and the range which contact | abuts to a foodstuff is wide, the peeling efficiency of a foodstuff is very good.

  By the way, when we peeled one radish of almost the same size using this peeler and a general peeler, it took 61 seconds with the conventional peeler, but in the case of this peeler it took 21 seconds, about 3 minutes. The time required was 1. That is, when this peeler is used, the working efficiency is about three times as high as when a conventional peeler is used, which greatly contributes to productivity improvement in supermarkets, food factories and the like.

  Although the present invention has been described in some detail with respect to its most preferred embodiments, it will be apparent that a wide variety of different embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention being defined by the appended claims. It is not restricted to the specific embodiment other than limiting in.

It is a perspective view of one embodiment of a peeler concerning the present invention. It is an AA line cross-sectional enlarged view in FIG. It is the BB sectional enlarged view in FIG. It is a use condition figure of the peeler concerning the present invention. It is a figure which shows the example of the fixing method of the blade body in the peeler which concerns on this invention. It is a figure which shows the structural example of the conventional peeler.
