Description

  The present invention relates to konjak, and more specifically, a plate konjac is cut to make it excellent in taste and can be easily separated into block-shaped pieces.

As a processed konjac cut from the surface of this type of plate konjac, a processed konjac shown in FIG. 5 is provided in Utility Model Registration No. 3176827 (Patent Document 1).
The processed konjac 100 has a thickness of about 5 mm in the form of a grid in the vertical and horizontal directions from one side (upper surface in the figure) of a plate konjac having a thickness of 25 mm, a horizontal (X) dimension of 70 mm, and a vertical (Y) dimension of 120 mm. A shallow cut 101 having a depth of about 8 mm is made at a pitch, and one deep cut 102 is made in the center of the horizontal direction (X), and three deep cuts 103 are made at equal intervals in the length direction (Y). The deep cuts 102 and 103 are about 15 mm, and about 60% in the thickness direction.
The shallow cuts 101 are for taste stains, and the deep cuts 102 and 103 are for tearing by hand to divide them into small blocks. The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the divided blocks 105 are 30 mm × 35 mm.

  In the processed konjac 100, the shallow cut 101 for tasting is put only on one side of the plate konjac, and the shallow cut 101 and the deep cuts 102, 103 are put on the other side of the lower surface in the figure. It is designed to be stored as a single lump without being separated by deep cuts.

  Moreover, the processing konjac shown in FIG. 6 is provided by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 10-271966 (patent document 2). The processed konjac 200 is divided into a conventional plate konjac 200 divided into two equal parts in the top and bottom, and is divided into six equal parts vertically and horizontally, so that one sheet konjac is divided into 12 thin rectangular konjacs 202. In addition, rhinocytic cuts 205 are formed on both the front and back surfaces of the thin and small konjac 202.

  The processed konjac 200 of Patent Document 2 is 12 thin flat shapes having a height and width of 40 mm × 35 mm × 12.5 mm if one plate konjac 200 has the same shape as the plate konjac 100 of Patent Document 1. The konjac 202 is divided into products, and it is recognized that these 12 small pieces are packaged and sold in one storage bag.

Utility Model Registration No. 3176827 JP-A-10-271966

In the processed konjac 100 of the above-mentioned patent document 1, a shallow cut 101 for taste-staining is provided only on one side of the plate konjac, and both the shallow cut 101 and the deep cuts 102 and 103 are formed on the other side of the lower surface in the drawing. It is not put in, and can be stored as one lump without being separated by cuts.
As described above, the deep cuts 102 and 103 for splitting by an operator by hand are provided from one side, and about 1/3 of the thickness dimension is provided from the end of the cuts 102 and 103 to the opposite surface (lower surface). Since they are continuous, they are not straightly cut from the front ends of the cuts 102 and 103 to the opposite surface, and the divided block 105 is not formed in a dice shape and is likely to be deformed. Therefore, in order to put it into a commercially available lunch box, when it is divided into blocks, the processed konjac of Patent Document 1 is an irregularly shaped piece, which is difficult to employ.
Furthermore, a shallow cut 101 for taste stain is also placed only on one side of a thick block, and even if it is divided into block-like small pieces, a cut 101 for taste stain is provided on only one of the six surfaces. Therefore, there is a problem that the taste-staining effect is small.

  It is recognized that the processed konjac 200 of Patent Document 2 is sold in a state of being divided into 12 flat shapes that are half the thickness of the conventional plate konjac, and the thickness of the conventional plate konjac without division. If it is desirable, it is difficult to adopt. In addition, in the state of filling the bag at the time of sale, the 12 small pieces in the filling liquid are in a disjointed state, and there is no significance in providing a shallow cut for taste stain and a deep cut for division.

  The present invention solves the problem of Patent Document 1, and can provide a konjac that can be smoothly divided into dice without being deformed, enhances the product value, and has a taste stain superior to the processed konjac of Patent Document 1. The challenge is to do.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a rectangular plate konjac having a required thickness.
While providing shallow cuts symmetrically in the vertical direction from the upper and lower surfaces to the inside, provided in a lattice shape with an interval of less than 3 mm in the vertical and horizontal directions,
Between the shallow cuts, two deep cuts that divide the horizontal direction into three equal parts are provided vertically from the upper and lower surfaces, and three deep cuts that divide the vertical direction into four equal parts, or two deep cuts that divide into three equal parts. Provide vertically from the bottom,
The connecting portion between the top ends of the upper and lower deep cuts is divided into 9 or 12 small blocks having a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a cubic body shape when continuously divided into the upper and lower deep cuts. We offer konjac.

As described above, in the konjac of the present invention, shallow cuts for taste-staining and deep cuts for division are provided symmetrically from the upper and lower surfaces of the plate konnyaku, leaving a connecting portion in the middle portion. Thus, if a shallow cut for taste stain is made on the entire upper and lower surfaces, the taste-staining function can be enhanced as compared with the case where it is placed on one surface.
In addition, a deep cut for division is provided symmetrically in the vertical direction, the tip of the lower deep cut is located below the tip of the upper deep cut, and the length of the connecting portion between the tips of the upper and lower deep cuts is set. Since it is shortened, a straight cut can be smoothly formed at the connecting portion between the ends of the upper and lower deep cuts. Therefore, it is possible to prevent reduction when the cuts are distorted and divided into irregular shapes at the connection part without cuts when the cuts are divided into the deep cuts for division. Even if it is divided into pieces like this, small blocks can be divided into accurate rectangular parallelepipeds or cubes, and the product value can be increased when filling a commercial lunch.

The depth dimension (L3) of the deep cut is 2.0 to 2.8 times the depth dimension (L2) of the shallow cut, and
It is preferable that the depth dimension (L4) of the connecting portion between the tips of the upper and lower deep cuts is 1.0 to 1.5 times the depth dimension (L3) of the upper and lower deep cuts.

Specifically, the plate konjac is a rectangular parallelepiped shape in which the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the upper and lower surfaces are larger than the height dimension,
The vertical and horizontal pitch (L1) of less than 3 mm of the shallow cut is 2.9 mm to 2.0 mm,
The depth dimension (L2) of the shallow cut is 4 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably 3.5 mm to 2.8 mm,
The deep cut has a vertical and horizontal pitch of 25 to 38 mm,
The depth dimension (L3) of the deep cut is 6.5 mm to 7.5 mm,
It is preferable that the depth dimension (L4) of the connection part between the tips of the upper and lower deep cuts is 12 mm or less. L4 may be 1.0 to 0.6 times L3 or less.

  When the shallow cuts are provided in a lattice pattern at small pitches in the vertical and horizontal directions on the entire upper and lower surfaces of the plate konjac, the taste-staining function can be enhanced. In addition, in the plate konjac of Patent Document 1, a shallow cut for taste stain is provided only on one side at a pitch of 5 mm. Therefore, in the present invention, the shallow cut for taste stain of the conventional plate konjac is 3 times or more in total on the upper and lower surfaces. By doing so, the taste-staining function can be improved by 3 times or more.

As described above, the konjac of the present invention is provided with a deep cut for dividing from both the upper and lower sides symmetrically, so even if it is cut by hand, the upper and lower deep cuts are continuously divided in a straight line. it can. Therefore, in the state divided | segmented into the small block, these blocks do not become a deformed shape, but it becomes a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and can raise the commercial value in the state arranged in the lunch box etc.
Moreover, since the shallow cuts for taste stains are provided in a lattice pattern on both the upper and lower surfaces, the taste stain of konjac, which is difficult to permeate, can be quickly performed and the taste stain function can be enhanced.

The konjac of 1st Embodiment of this invention is shown, (A) is a perspective view, (B) is a top view, (C) is a front view, (D) is a side view. It is a perspective view which shows the state which packed the said konjac. It is a perspective view which shows the state which divided | segmented the said konjac. It is a perspective view of the konjac of 2nd Embodiment. It is a perspective view which shows a prior art example. It is a perspective view which shows another prior art example.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 to 3 show a first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of shallow cuts 2 and 3 and deep cuts 4 and 5 are vertically spaced from the upper and lower surfaces 1a and 1b of the plate konjac 1 at regular intervals in the horizontal direction X and the vertical direction Y, respectively. Provided.

Specifically, the overall size of the plate konjac 1 is 25 mm in height, the horizontal dimension is about 75 mm, and the vertical dimension is about 136 mm.
The vertical and horizontal pitches (L1) of the shallow cuts 2 and 3 are 2.9 mm to 2.0 mm, which is less than 3 mm, and 2.8 mm in this embodiment. The depth (L2) of the shallow cuts 2 and 3 is 4 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably 3.5 mm to 2.8 mm, and 3 mm in this embodiment.
The vertical and horizontal pitches of the deep cuts 4 and 5 are 25 to 38 mm, the depth dimension (L3) of the deep cuts 4 and 5 is 6.5 mm to 7.5 mm, and 7.5 mm in this embodiment.

  The shallow cuts 2 cut from the upper surface 1a are provided at a pitch of 2.8 mm for both the horizontal cut 2x and the vertical cut 2y. The shallow cuts 3 cut from the upper side cut 2 and the vertically symmetrical lower surface 1b also have a pitch of 2.8 mm in both the horizontal cut 3x and the vertical cut 3y. That is, shallow cuts 2 and 3 having a square of 2.8 mm in length and breadth and a depth of 3 mm are provided on the entire upper and lower surfaces 1a and 1b so that taste can be absorbed from both the upper and lower surfaces.

  Compared to the shallow cuts in Patent Document 1, the shallow cuts 2 and 3 are provided with a large number of cuts at a short pitch both vertically and horizontally, and the cuts 2 and 3 are provided symmetrically in the vertical direction. The depth is set to 3 mm, which is half or less of the depth of 8 mm, and the shallow cut provided only on the upper surface side is divided into upper and lower surfaces.

  In addition, the deep cuts 4 and 5 provided vertically symmetrically on the upper and lower surfaces 1a and 1b are each provided with three horizontal cuts 4x and 5x with a 34 mm pitch, and the vertical direction (Y) is divided into four equal parts. . Further, two cuts 4y and 5y in the vertical direction (Y) are provided with a 25 mm pitch, and the horizontal direction (X) is equally divided into three. As a result, the plate konjac 1 can be divided into small blocks 8 equally divided into twelve.

  The relationship between the depth dimension (L3) of the deep cuts 4 and 5 provided in the vertical symmetry and the depth dimension (L4) of the connecting portion sandwiched between the tips of the deep cuts 4 and 5 is L4 = (1.0 To 1.5) × L3, and L4 is 12 mm or less. In this embodiment, since L3 is 7.5 mm, the depth dimension (L4) of the connecting portion 6 between the vertically symmetric deep cuts 4 and 5 is 25 mm− (7.5 × 2) = 10 mm. Yes.

  The plate konjac 1 having the above-mentioned shape is not divided at the deep cuts 4 and 5, but is sold in the state shown in FIG. Before or after cooking after taking out from the bag 10, it is divided into 12 small rectangular parallelepiped blocks 8 along the deep cuts 4 and 5, as shown in FIG. 3. In this division, the cook cuts by hand along the cut lines 4 and 5, and at that time, the cut lines 4 and 5 are placed symmetrically in the vertical direction, so the connection between the top ends of the upper and lower cut lines 4 and 5 is made. In the part 6, it becomes easy to cut in a state where the ends of the cuts 4 and 5 are linearly continuous. Therefore, if a deep cut is made only on the upper side of Patent Document 1 and torn toward the bottom, it is easy to break into a deformed shape without forming a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube, but in the present invention, since it is cut up and down, it will be deformed. Can be reduced or prevented.

  In addition, since shallow cuts 2 and 3 are provided on both upper and lower surfaces at a pitch of 2.8 mm in length and width, and the shallow cuts in Patent Document 1 are 5 mm in length and width, the pitch is reduced to about 3/5, and the occupied area of the cut is larger than the conventional one. Increase by 60%. In addition, since the shallow cuts 2 and 3 are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces, the occupancy ratio of the shallow cuts for tasting in the small block 8 is slightly more than three times that of the shallow cuts of Patent Document 1. Thus, if the shallow cuts for taste stain are provided on the upper and lower surfaces at a fine pitch, the taste stain of konjac can be improved.

FIG. 4 shows the konjac of the second embodiment.
In the plate konjac 1 of the second embodiment, two deep cuts 4 and 5 are inserted in the vertical direction (Y) as well as in the horizontal direction (X) so that it can be divided into nine. Further, the blocks 8 divided into nine pieces have the same vertical and horizontal dimensions and the same thickness, and the block 8 is a cube. The number of shallow vertical cuts 2 and 3 provided in the block 8 is the same number of eight.
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.
