Whether it is hung or sprayed, the leaf E is hung below the support 1 and shifted from the stem, the vicinity F of the leaf edge is exposed, the blade 7 is rotated while applying the blade 7 to the vicinity F of the hairline, In this method, the blade 7 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the stem D, and the leaf E is separated from the stem D by cutting the leaf E with the blade 7 from the vicinity F of the hairline. In this case, the seaweed A and the blade 7 are relatively moved in the longitudinal direction of the stem D to cut the leaf E from the entire length of the stem D. It is also possible to use a laser instead of the blade 7 and irradiate the vicinity F of the hairline to cut it. When using a laser, the laser is moved in the longitudinal direction of the stem D. The blade 7 and the stem D, and the laser and the stem D are relatively moved.

  Since the width of the stem D is wide on the root side G and the tip side H is narrow, even if the width of the stem D is narrowed in relative movement between the seaweed A and the blade 7 or the seaweed A and the laser, the blade is narrow. 7 or a laser hits both sides of the stem D so that the vicinity F of the hairline of the leaf can be surely cut.

  Cutting in place of the blade 7 using a laser, cutting the blade E from the full length of the stem D by relatively moving the blade 7 and the stem D, and the laser and the stem D are the same in the following embodiments. It is. When liquid is poured on the stem D of the seaweed A, they can be hung from the supply device 4 (FIGS. 1A to 1C). The liquid may be at high pressure. It is the same in the following embodiments that the blade 7 or the laser is applied to both side surfaces of the stem D so that the vicinity F of the edge of the leaf can be reliably cut. Therefore, these descriptions are omitted in the following embodiments.

A liquid is poured (flowed or spouted) on the surface, and the leaves E of the seaweed A are spread on the supporting wings 3 and shifted from the stem D to expose the vicinity F of the leaves, and the blade 7 is applied to the vicinity F of the edges. The blade 7 is moved along the guide groove 6 of the support 1, and the blade 7 is further moved in the longitudinal direction of the stem D to cut the leaf E from the vicinity F of the hairline by cutting the leaf E with the blade 7. It is a method of separating from the stem D.

  The support 1 shown in FIG. 2 (d) does not correspond to the support blade 3 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). 2 (c) and 2 (d), the support 1 has a hollow shape, and a liquid is supplied to the hollow portion 8 from the numerous ejection holes 9 opened in the upper plate 1a of the support 1. Can be erupted. Since the support 1 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) has nothing equivalent to the hollow portion 8 shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d), many ejection holes are opened in the recess 2 and the support wing 3. The liquid supplied from the back surfaces of the recess 2 and the support blade 3 can be ejected from the ejection holes onto the surfaces of the recess 2 and the support blade 3. In FIG. 2 (b), the liquid E is allowed to flow from the top to the bottom of the recess 2 (from the root side G to the tip side H of the stem D), so that the leaf E can be spread on the support wing 3. On the contrary, the leaf E can be spread on the support wing 3 by flowing from the bottom to the top (from the tip side H to the root side G of the stem D). In the latter case, the leaf E is likely to spread outward because it is flowed in a direction against the direction of the leaf E.

  Since the leaves E of seaweed A grow on both sides in the width direction of the stem D, the liquid supplied by the method shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) should flow from the recess 2 toward the support wing 3 side. desirable. For this purpose, the liquid can be supplied while tilting the support 1 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) alternately left and right.
