Description

  The present invention relates to a peeler called a peeler.

  The peeler, called a peeler, has a double-branched holding part at the tip of the handle, and a blade with a long hole at the center and a blade at the edge of the long hole is rotated between the holding parts. It is built freely.

  By the way, in the above-mentioned peeler, there is known an instrument that adopts a structure that can cope with a change to a blade having a different use (for example, a cutting blade for cutting) or a replacement with a blade that has deteriorated sharpness. Yes.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-34468), one mounting hole of a blade body is opened on one side end surface of a plate-like holding portion, and the blade body shaft portion can be freely attached and detached from the opening portion. Furthermore, a device is disclosed in which an opening / closing member for opening and closing the opening portion is incorporated in the plate-like holding portion in a slide structure.

  Further, in Patent Document 2 (Registered Utility Model No. 3129002), the opening and closing member is formed by bending a metal wire into a U shape and bending the base end to the opposite wire side while shifting the length. A structure is disclosed in which the base end portion of the opening / closing member is mounted on the holding portion so as to be stable in the open state and the closed state.

  Further, in Patent Document 3 (Registered Utility Model No. 3053381), a main body composed of a handle portion and a holding portion is formed of a metal plate, so that the holding portion is elastically biased in the opening direction and the handle portion and the holding portion are arranged. There is disclosed a structure in which a neck portion is provided in between, and the blade body is attached and detached by performing a widening and narrowing operation of an opposing interval of the holding portion by holding and releasing the holding pressure of the neck portion.

JP-A-2005-34468. Registered utility model No. 3129002. Registered utility model No. 3053381.

  As disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in the appliance in which the opening / closing member is attached to the holding portion, since the opening / closing member is incorporated in the peeling portion (the tip of the holding portion), the skinning operation is uncomfortable. . Therefore, in consideration of this point, it is necessary to form the main body (the handle portion and the holding portion) in a structure having elasticity, but an instrument that does not include an opening / closing member and can form the blade body and the holding portion in a lightweight manner is desired. .

  As described above, the device described in Patent Document 3 elastically biases the holding portions in the opening direction, and performs a widening and narrowing operation of the opposing intervals of the holding portions by attaching and detaching the fixing body to the neck portion. However, the above-mentioned instrument is such that when the fixed body of the neck portion is removed, the holding portion is expanded and the blade body is detached, and in order to improve the detachability, the fixed body can be easily attached and detached. In this case, there is a possibility that the fixed body may be mistakenly removed during the skinning operation, and there is a risk that the holding part will open and the blade body may come off against the intention of the instrument user.

  Further, when the blade body is mounted, the state in which the blade body is sandwiched between the holding portions is maintained by holding the holding portion by hand, and the fixing body is mounted in this state, which is troublesome. Furthermore, if a structure in which the fixed body is not easily attached and detached (preventing unexpected removal of the blade body) is employed, the work at the time of mounting the blade body becomes troublesome.

  Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel peeler that makes it easy to attach and detach the blade.

  In the peeling device according to the present invention, the main body is formed by bending a metal plate with a handle portion having a U-shaped base end and a bifurcated holding portion provided at the front of the handle portion via a constricted neck portion. A blade body having a long hole at the center and a blade formed at the edge of the long hole and having shaft portions at both ends between the tips of the holding portions, and the shaft portion into the mounting holes provided in both holding portions. In a peeler that is installed and installed, the distance between the holding parts is made narrower than the blade length, the blade is held by the elastic repulsive force that spreads between the holding parts, and enters the constricted neck part facing surface to open. An opening / closing mechanism provided with a slide operating body that expands and separates and returns is attached to the main body.

  Thus, if the blade body is installed between the tips of the holding parts that are narrower than the blade body length, it will be held by the elastic repulsive force of the main body, and when the slide operation body enters the constricted neck, the slide operation body constricts the constricted neck. As a result, the end of the holding portion is expanded, and the shaft portion of the blade body is detached from the mounting hole. Further, when the slide operation body is detached from the neck, the neck is restored by the elastic force, and when the distance between the tips of the holding parts is reduced, the shaft part of the blade is inserted into the mounting hole, and the blade is removed. It is attached to the main body.

  The present invention has the above-described configuration, and since the blade body mounted state is an elastic holding state by the main body, the blade body is not detached unless the force is applied to operate the slide operation body, and the slide operation is performed. At that time, since a corresponding force is required, the blade body can be safely used without the risk of suddenly coming off, and the blade body can be easily attached and detached.

The front view of 1st embodiment of this invention. The exploded perspective view. FIG. The same operation state explanatory drawing (at the time of blade body wearing). The operation state explanatory drawing (at the time of blade body detachment). The operation state explanatory view of a second embodiment of the present invention.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The peeler shown in the embodiment includes a blade body 1 and a main body 2 formed of a thin metal plate so as to have a corresponding elasticity, and in particular, an opening / closing mechanism portion is attached to the main body 2.

  The blade body 1 is similar to the conventional one, and is a well-known one having a long hole 11 at the center, a blade (horizontal blade) 12 at the edge of the long hole, and a shaft portion 13 at both ends. Any material can be used as long as it has shafts 13 at both ends, such as the use of a cutting blade for fine cutting at a fine interval in the holes 11.

  The main body 2 is formed by bending a metal plate, and is provided with a handle portion 21 having a U-shaped base end and a bifurcated holding portion 23 at the front via a constricted neck portion 22.

  The blade body 1 is mounted by forming a mounting hole 24 at the tip of the holding portion 23, forming the space between the tips narrower than the length of the blade body 1, attaching the shaft portion 13 to the mounting hole 24, and between the holding portions 23. This is realized by holding the blade body 1 with an elastic repulsive force when it is expanded.

  The opening / closing mechanism portion includes a front cover body 31 and a back base body 32 corresponding to the ranges of the grip portion 21 and the neck portion 22 of the main body 2, and is attached so as to sandwich the main body 2 from the front and back of the main body 2. The slide operation body 33 is incorporated in the front and back bodies 31 and 32.

  When the front and back bodies 31 and 32 are mounted on the main body 2, the side walls 311 and 321 of the front and back bodies 31 and 32 are the main body when the blade body is mounted so that the constricted neck portion 22 and the holding portion 23 can be expanded and restored. A shape corresponding to the shape is provided, and flanges 312 and 322 are provided above and below the side walls 311 and 321 to sandwich the main body 2.

  The structure for incorporating the slide operation body 33 is such that a rail portion 323 reaching the position of the neck portion 22 is provided on the back base body 32, and the operation collision when the slide operation body 33 described later is incorporated on the front cover body 31. The operation through-hole 313 is provided in such a size that the part 333 can move.

  The slide operation body 33 includes a protrusion 331 fitted to the rail portion 323 on the bottom surface, an enlarged sub-shaped operation surface 332 for constricting the neck portion 22 at the front portion, and an operation protrusion 333 on the upper portion. It is provided.

  Thus, the blade body 1 is held by the elastic repulsive force of the main body 2 when it is installed between the holding portions 23 narrower than the length of the blade body 1. Then, when the operation protrusion 333 exposed from the operation through hole 313 is pushed out to the blade body mounting side, the slide operation body 33 moves and advances to the position of the neck portion 22. At this time, since the operation surface 332 of the slide operation body 33 is wide, the neck portion 22 is pushed wide.

  As the constricted neck portion 22 expands, the space between the tips of the holding portion 23 also expands, the shaft portion 13 of the blade body 1 is detached from the mounting hole 24, and the blade body 1 is separated from the main body 2. Conversely, when the slide operating body 33 is gradually retracted from the position of the constricted neck portion 22 in the above state, the constricted neck portion 22 and the holding portion 23 are gradually restored by the elastic force, so that the axis of the blade body 1 (replacement part) at that time When the portion 13 is inserted into the mounting hole 24 and the slide operation body 33 is retracted to reliably remove the expanding and expanding action of the constricted neck portion 22, the blade body 1 is securely mounted and put into use.

  Therefore, when the handle portion 21 is gripped and the operation projection 333 is operated with the thumb, the holding portion 23 can be opened and closed (opening and returning) with one hand, and the blade body 1 can be replaced safely and reliably. be able to.

  Further, as in the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, a slide operation body 33 a in which the operation surface 332 is the roller 334 may be employed. In this case, the center position (maximum width position) of the roller 334 is adopted. However, when the slide operation body 33a is formed in a structure in which the side of the slide operation body 33a abuts on the neck of the neck 22 at a position beyond the narrowest position of the neck 22 and the slide operation body 33a is stably stopped, the holding section 23 is expanded. Can stabilize.
