Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an auxiliary tool for efficiently scalding tomato.SOLUTION: The auxiliary tool includes a four-blade cutter 3, a cylindrical basket 1, and a dedicated cup, and the tomato 8 is put into the basket 1 while directing a calyx downwards. Then, the outer edges a cutter 3 are slid downwards along cutter guides 2, and a grip 6 is pressed in to cut flesh of the tomato up to a depth about a half thereof by blades 4. The hot water is poured from the upper surface of the tomato 8 until the upper surface of the tomato 8 is immersed in the hot water, after a handle 7 is grasped to put the basket 1 in a cup. Then, the tomato is exposed to water to be cooled, while being put in the cup. The basket 1 is drawn up thereafter from the cup, and the grip 6 is pressed down to the bottom to cut the tomato 8 into four pieces. Finally the cutter 3 is removed from the basket 1, and the tomato 8 cut into the four pieces is extracted to peel the skin thereof by hand.

Description

本発明は一般家庭で広く行われている熱湯によるトマトの皮むきに関するものである。 The present invention relates to peeling tomatoes with hot water widely used in general households.

従来、加熱水蒸気をトマトに照射させる方法があった（特許文献１参照）。
また、トマトの表面を金具でこすることにより皮をむく方法があった（特許文献２参照）。Conventionally, there has been a method of irradiating tomatoes with heated steam (see Patent Document 1).
There was also a method of peeling the tomato surface by rubbing the surface with a metal fitting (see Patent Document 2).

熱湯に頼らない皮むき具として近年様々な形状のトマトピラーが見受けられるが、やはり、皮むきの完成度は常圧熱湯によるものがすぐれている。しかしながら、この常圧熱湯方法を補助する専用具は皆無であった。
本発明は、以上の問題点を解決するためになされたものである。In recent years, various shapes of tomato pillars have been found as a peeler that does not rely on hot water. However, the perfection of the peel is better due to atmospheric hot water. However, there was no special tool to assist this atmospheric hot water method.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

十文字に結合した４枚刃に取っ手を付けた特殊カッターとこれを上下にスライドさせるためのカッターガイドを設け、さらに持ち運び用のハンドルを付けた円筒形のかご。この円筒形のかごを熱湯および冷水に浸すためのカップ。
以上の構成よりなるトマトの皮むき補助具。Cylindrical basket with a special cutter with a handle on a four-blade combined with a cross and a cutter guide for sliding it up and down, and a handle for carrying. A cup for immersing this cylindrical basket in hot and cold water.
A tomato peeling aid comprising the above structure.

従来、バラバラの道具を用いてなされていた皮むき前後の作業を、この補助具によって効率的に行うことができる。 Conventionally, the work before and after peeling, which has been performed using a separate tool, can be efficiently performed by this auxiliary tool.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
（イ）かご（１）の形状は、円筒形とし、円筒の内側にカッター（３）の外側部分をスライドさせるためのカッターガイド（２）を４箇所設ける。
（ロ）かご（１）には持ち運びのためのハンドル（７）を設ける。
（ハ）カッター（３）は十文字に結合した４枚刃（４）から構成され、その上端にシャフト（５）と取っ手（６）を設ける。
（ニ）取っ手（６）には、カッター（３）の食い込んだトマト上面中心部に、家庭用電気ポットなどから熱湯が注げるように水通し穴（９）を数箇所設ける。
（ホ）カップ（１０）の大きさ・形状はかご（１）が余裕をもって収まる程度とする。
本発明は以上のような構造である。
本発明を使用するときは、かご（１）の中にトマト（８）をヘタ部分が下になるように入れる。次にカッター（３）外縁部をカッターガイド（２）に合わせて下方にスライドさせて、トマトの果肉の半分程度まで刃（４）が切り込むよう取っ手（６）を押し込む。
この状態でハンドル（７）を持ってかご（１）をカップ（１０）に収めた後、トマト（８）上面からヤカン或いは家庭用電気ポットを用いて、トマト（８）上面が浸る状態になるまで熱湯を注ぐ。次いで、そのままカップ（１０）に入れた状態で水にさらして冷やす。
その後、カップ（１０）から、かご（１）を引き上げ、取っ手（６）を最後まで押し下げてトマト（８）を四つに切断する。最後に、カッター（３）を、かご（１）から外し、４分割されたトマト（８）を引き出して素手で皮をむく。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) The shape of the car (1) is cylindrical, and four cutter guides (2) for sliding the outer part of the cutter (3) are provided inside the cylinder.
(B) The car (1) is provided with a handle (7) for carrying.
(C) The cutter (3) is composed of four blades (4) joined in a cross shape, and a shaft (5) and a handle (6) are provided at the upper end thereof.
(D) The handle (6) is provided with several water holes (9) in the center of the top surface of the tomato that the cutter (3) bites into so that hot water can be poured from a household electric pot.
(E) The size and shape of the cup (10) should be such that the car (1) can be accommodated.
The present invention has the above structure.
When using the present invention, place the tomato (8) in the basket (1) so that the sticky portion is on the bottom. Next, the outer edge of the cutter (3) is slid downward along the cutter guide (2), and the handle (6) is pushed so that the blade (4) cuts to about half of the tomato pulp.
In this state, after holding the handle (7) and placing the car (1) in the cup (10), the top surface of the tomato (8) is immersed from the top surface of the tomato (8) using a kettle or a household electric pot. Pour hot water until. Subsequently, it cools by exposing to water in the state put into the cup (10) as it is.
Thereafter, the car (1) is pulled up from the cup (10), and the handle (6) is pushed down to the end to cut the tomato (8) into four. Finally, the cutter (3) is removed from the car (1), the tomato (8) divided into four parts is pulled out and peeled with bare hands.
