Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in which a conventional method of squeezing a lemon with the flesh of a halved lemon facing downward is unable to break oil cells existing in the skin surface and unable to extract the aroma component, while conventionally a lemon squeezer generally squeezes lemon by cutting it in half, with the cut end facing downward, which fails to use the aroma component of the lemon that fully exists in the form of minute oil cells on the skin surface side though the fruit juice of the lemon exists in the flesh portion.SOLUTION: The lemon squeezer includes: a lid part with projections for squeezing the flesh of a lemon; a body with a large number of minute projections inside a lemon squeezer container in which a halved lemon is placed, with the cut end facing upward; and a receiving plate part.

Description

本発明はレモン絞り器に関するものである。The present invention relates to a lemon squeezer.

Technical background

従来、レモン搾り器はレモンを半分にカットして、切り口を下にして絞るのが一般的であった。Conventionally, lemon squeezers generally cut lemon in half and squeeze the cut down.

レモンの果汁は果肉の部分に存在するが、レモンの香り成分は皮の表面側に微小な油胞の形で多く存在する。従来の果肉の部分を下にして絞る方法では、皮の表面に存在する油胞を破ることができず、香り成分が抽出できなかった。
本発明は、以上の問題を解決するためになされたものである。Lemon juice is present in the flesh, but there are many scent components of lemon in the form of minute oil vesicles on the surface side of the skin. In the conventional method of squeezing the pulp down, the oil vesicles present on the surface of the skin could not be broken, and the scent component could not be extracted.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

Means to solve the problem

果肉搾り用の突起の付いたふた部と、半分に切ったレモンの切り口を上にして入れる内部に多数の微細な突起がある本体と、受け皿部からなるレモン搾り器。Lemon squeezer consisting of a lid with protrusions for squeezing pulp, a main body with a large number of fine protrusions inside and a lemon cut into half, and a saucer.

Effect of the invention

本発明によりレモンの果肉の果汁と表皮の香り成分を同時に搾ることができる。According to the present invention, the juice of lemon pulp and the scent component of the epidermis can be squeezed simultaneously.

本発明の斜視図Perspective view of the present invention

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図１により説明する。
（イ）本発明は、ふた部（１）と本体（２）と受け皿部（３）の３点により構成される。
（ロ）ふた部（１）には、果肉の果汁を絞るための果肉搾り用突起（５）と、ふた部（１）側面に、ふたを手で回転させやすいように、滑り止め用溝（４）を設ける。
（ハ）本体（２）は、２分割したレモンの切り口を上にして入れるためのレモン容器（６）と、受け皿部（３）に立てるための脚（８）からなる。
（ニ）レモン容器（６）の内側には、レモン表皮の油胞を破るための微小な突起（７）を多数設け、底部には果汁と香り成分を含んだ油分を流出させる開口（９）を設ける。
（ホ）受け皿部（３）の上面には、本体（２）を安定して設置するため、脚（８）をはめ込むための切り込み（１１）を設け、底面には受け皿部（３）を机などに安定して置くための滑り止め（１２）を設ける。
（ヘ）受け皿部（３）の側面には、皿にたまった搾り果汁を他の容器に注ぐための注ぎ口（１１）を設ける。
本発明は以上のような構造である。Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
(A) The present invention is constituted by three points: a lid part (1), a main body (2), and a tray part (3).
(B) On the lid part (1), there are a pulp squeezing protrusion (5) for squeezing the fruit juice, and an anti-slip groove (4) on the side of the lid part (1) so that the lid can be easily rotated by hand. Is provided.
(C) The main body (2) is composed of a lemon container (6) for putting the lemon cut into two parts upward and a leg (8) for standing on the saucer part (3).
(D) Inside the lemon container (6), a number of minute protrusions (7) for breaking the oil vesicles of the lemon epidermis are provided, and at the bottom is an opening for draining oil containing fruit juice and fragrance components (9) Is provided.
(E) In order to stably install the main body (2) on the upper surface of the saucer part (3), a notch (11) for fitting the leg (8) is provided, and the saucer part (3) is provided on the bottom surface. An anti-slip (12) is provided for stable placement on the surface.
(F) On the side surface of the tray part (3), a spout (11) for pouring the squeezed fruit juice accumulated in the dish into another container is provided.
The present invention has the above structure.

本発明の使用法は以下である。
（イ）中央部分と端部を切ったレモンを、本体（２）のレモン容器（６）に中央の切り口を上に向けて入れてふた部（１）を被せ、ふた部（１）を回転させながら押し下げる。
（ロ）ふたを押し下げる圧力により、ふたに付いている果肉搾り用突起（５）によりレモンの果肉が抽出される。
（ハ）同時に、ふたを押し下げる圧力により、レモンの表皮がレモン容器（６）の内側にある多数の微小な突起（７）に押し付けられ、表皮の表面近くにある香り成分の元である油脂を含んだ油胞を破壊する。
（ニ）抽出した果汁の一部は、レモン下部の切り口から出て、レモン容器（６）の開口（９）から流出する。一部はレモン上部よりあふれて、レモン容器（６）の内側表面を、油胞から出た油脂と一緒に流れてレモン容器（６）の開口（９）から流出する。
（ホ）流出した香り成分の元である油脂を含んだ果汁は、受け皿部（３）にたまり、注ぎ口（１１）より他の容器に注がれる。The usage of the present invention is as follows.
(I) Put the lemon with the central part and the end cut into the lemon container (6) of the main body (2) with the central cut facing upward, cover the lid part (1), and rotate the lid part (1) Press down.
(B) Lemon flesh is extracted by the pulp squeezing protrusion (5) attached to the lid by the pressure of pushing down the lid.
(C) At the same time, the lemon skin is pressed against a number of minute protrusions (7) inside the lemon container (6) by the pressure that pushes down the lid, and the fat that is the source of the scent component near the surface of the skin is removed. Destroy the contained oil vesicles.
