Description

  The present invention relates to a slicer for thinly slicing a sliced material such as vegetables and ham, and more particularly to a slicer in which the slice thickness can be freely changed.

  Vegetables, ham, etc. are sliced with a slicer, but in that case, if the thickness of the sliced can be freely changed to whatever you like, the texture is adapted to the dish And the display of the skill of the cook is increased.

Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a slicer in which the slice thickness can be freely changed.
JP 2005-102724 A, Summary, Representative Diagram

  The “cooking slicer” disclosed in Patent Document 1 is “to simplify the structure of the operation portion for rotating the second support plate, to reduce the manufacturing cost and to clean the details, and to provide the second support. It is made for the purpose of "rotating the plate greatly upward so that careful cleaning is possible", and has a structure as shown in FIGS.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the “cooking slicer” disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be rotated by a rotation shaft portion provided in a direction substantially orthogonal to the front-rear direction. A cooking slicer in which the vertical gap between the blade and the second support plate is variable, and a gap in the front-rear direction is provided between the blade and the second support plate in a top view. In addition, a rod-shaped cam that comes into contact with the second support plate is provided so as to change the vertical gap between the blade and the second support plate by its rotation.

  However, according to the study by the inventors, like the slicer in Patent Document 1, the portion far from the blade of the “second support plate” is pivoted and the portion close to the blade is moved up and down, It was found that the parallel slicing of the material to be sliced W does not work well if the vertical gap between the first and second support plates is changed. In other words, when you look at the sliced one, the thickness of the first sliced portion is thinner than the thickness of the sliced portion at the rear end. It was found that the rear end portion was connected.

  The reason why such an unstable slice is made is that when the material to be sliced W is moved on the “second support plate” toward the “blade”, the “second support plate” is inclined. Thus, it seems that the rear end portion of the material to be sliced W (the portion that is finally hung on the blade) bites larger than the rear portion. Of course, the inclination of the “second support plate” is not so large, but the mounting direction of the “blade” is horizontal and does not change at all. It is. And if it is the technique which changes slice thickness by inclination like this patent document 1, when performing a thick slice especially, it will also require large force in order to resist "bite-in". .

  Therefore, the present inventors have completed the present invention as a result of various studies on how to ensure stable slices even when the slice thickness is changed.

  That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a slicer 100 that can always perform stable slicing without changing the insertion force even if the thickness is changed.

In order to solve the above problems, first, the means taken by the invention according to claim 1 will be described with reference numerals used in the description of the best mode described below.
“A slicing blade 40 fixed to the support frame 30, and a first sliding plate 10 and a second sliding plate 20 disposed behind and on the front side of the slicing blade 40, and on the second sliding plate 20. A slicer 100 configured to slice the sliced material W by moving the sliced material W back and forth toward the slicing blade 40,
Guide protrusions 21 are integrally provided on both side surfaces of the second sliding plate 20, and guide grooves 31 are formed on the inner side of the support frame 30 to engage the respective guide projections 21 on the second sliding plate 20 side. An inclined portion 31a that is inclined up and down is provided in a part of the guide groove 31,
By engaging each guide protrusion 21 on the second sliding plate 20 side in the guide groove 31 of the support frame 30, the second sliding plate 20 is assembled to the support frame 30 so as to be movable in parallel. The slicer 100 is characterized in that the entire lower surface of the material to be sliced W 20 can be always translated with respect to the slicing blade 40 ".
It is.

  That is, in the slicer 100 according to the present invention, the second sliding plate 20 is assembled so as to be movable in parallel with the support frame 30, and the entire lower surface of the material to be sliced W on the second sliding plate 20 is the slicing blade 40. Can always move in parallel. In other words, the second sliding plate 20 of the slicer 100 is not pivotally attached at one point as in Patent Document 1 and swings while tilting as a whole. Is completely translated.

  If the second sliding plate 20 moves completely in parallel with respect to the support frame 30 and the slicing blade 40, the slice thickness can be changed by changing the position of the second sliding plate 20 with respect to the slicing blade 40. The second sliding plate 20 is always parallel to the slicing blade 40. That is, since the lower surface of the material to be sliced W that is brought into contact with the second sliding plate 20 and moved toward the slicing blade 40 is always parallel to the slicing blade 40, the pressing force applied to the material to be sliced W Is not converted into a force that bites between the slice blade 40 at the tip of the second sliding plate 20.

  The parallel movement of the second sliding plate 20 with respect to the support frame 30 and the slicing blade 40 is performed by integrally providing guide protrusions 21 on both side surfaces of the second sliding plate 20, as shown in FIGS. This is done by forming guide grooves 31 to which the respective guide protrusions 21 are engaged inside 30, and engaging the respective guide protrusions 21 with the guide grooves 31.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, an inclined portion 31a that is inclined up and down is provided in a part of the guide groove 31, and the guide protrusion 21 on the second sliding plate 20 side moves on the inclined portion 31a. As a result, the entire second sliding plate 20 moves up and down slightly. Of course, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, an insertion hole 31 b through which the guide protrusion 21 can be passed is formed on the upper side of each guide groove 31, and the second sliding plate 20 is attached to the support frame 30. In the case of the best mode to be described later, the four guide projections 21 on the second sliding plate 20 side are simultaneously fitted into the four insertion holes 31b opened on the upper surface on the support frame 30 side. It is.

  In other words, at least two guide protrusions 21 are integrally formed on the left and right end surfaces of the second sliding plate 20 constituting the slicer 100, and all of the guide protrusions 21 are Each guide groove 31 formed on the inner side surface of the support frame 30 is simultaneously inserted as it is from the insertion hole 31b opened at the upper end thereof, and the second sliding plate 20 itself is moved to move into the insertion hole 31b. It can be moved back and forth and up and down on the formed inclined portion 31a. This means that the second sliding plate 20 is detachable from the support frame 30, and instead of the second sliding plate 20 that performs only “slicing” as shown in FIG. This means that the second sliding plate 20 having the vertical blade 60 that can be finely cut can be used.

  In the slicer 100, when the slice thickness of the material to be sliced W is to be changed, the second sliding plate 20 is moved back and forth. The back and forth movement of the second sliding plate 20 is performed by moving the adjustment knob 50 to the left and right as shown by the arrows in FIG. The operation rod attached to the side surface of the second sliding plate 20 may be protruded from the side surface of the support frame 30 and the tip thereof may be operated. If the second sliding plate 20 is moved back and forth, as described above, each guide projection 21 moves up and down by the inclined portion 31a of the guide groove 31, so that the second sliding plate 20 moves in parallel with the slicing blade 40. The height and distance of the upper surface of the upper surface relative to the slice blade 40 are adjusted, and the slice thickness is adjusted. Changes during this time are illustrated in FIGS.

  As a result of the above, according to the slicer 100, even if the slice thickness is changed, the material to be sliced W is always sent in parallel toward the slicing blade 40. Since the slice thickness of the material to be sliced W is almost constant, the slice can always be stably sliced. Moreover, even when the thickness is increased, each slice piece is completely cut (sliced), and the slice pieces are not connected.

  Therefore, the slicer 100 according to claim 1 can always perform stable slice without changing the force to be inserted even if the slice thickness is changed.

In order to solve the above problem, the means taken by the invention according to claim 2 is the slicer 100 according to claim 1 described above.

In addition, the connecting plate 51 has a mounting head 51b integrated in front thereof attached to the back surface of the second sliding plate 20, and the adjustment knob 50 is connected to the second sliding plate 20 via the connecting plate 51. .

  As described above, if the adjustment knob 50 is moved in the knob mounting hole 34 whose axis is perpendicular to the slicing direction of the material to be sliced W, the pin 51a integrated therewith moves in the inclined hole 52. However, since the axis of the inclined hole 52 is inclined with respect to the slicing direction of the material W to be sliced, the connecting plate 51 is moved back and forth as a result. That is, if the adjustment knob 50 is moved left and right, the second sliding plate 20 moves back and forth accordingly.

  Therefore, the slicer 100 according to the second aspect can perform the same function as that according to the first aspect, and can move the second sliding plate 20 back and forth by moving the adjustment knob 50 left and right. This adjustment can be easily performed on the surface side of the slicer 100.

As described above, in the present invention,
