Description

  The present invention relates to a grater for the purpose of gripping and rubbing ingredients such as cheese and grater.

(Conventional cheese grater (grated board))
As a cooking utensil for rubbing parmesan cheese or the like, a stainless steel grater called cheese / grater or cheese mill has been sold. General cheeses and graters have a flat plate with many grated blades on one side (same configuration as a conventional radish grater) and multiple grated blades with different dimensions and shapes on each side. A square pyramid is also sold.

(Conventional cheese and grater (rotary))
In addition, a rotary type (rotary type) in which a handle for rotating the cylinder is provided at one end of a hollow cylinder provided with a large number of grated blades on the peripheral surface is sold.

(Prior art of Cheese Greater)
Moreover, the grater of patent document 1 has already been proposed besides general cheese grater. Specifically, the grater disclosed in Patent Document 1 mainly includes an opening and a cradle provided with L-shaped guides extending in parallel on both sides thereof, and a grate plate that can be fitted into the opening, It has a cheese set box provided with a flange slidable in an L-shaped guide, and a cheese pressing lid. The cheese was put into the inside of this cheese set box, and the cheese set box was reciprocated horizontally with respect to the plate while holding down the cheese with the cheese press lid, and then it was finely scraped off by the grater plate. The cheese pieces fall from the opening of the cradle.

(Problems of the prior art and Patent Document 1)
Even in the case of a conventional grater or a grater of Patent Document 1, the user can hold the grater main body (for example, the main body of the grater plate, the frame housing the rotating cylinder, the cradle) in one hand. While holding it, slide the cheese set box while holding the cheese directly with the other hand, rotating the handle of the rotating cylinder that contains the cheese, or pressing down the cheese with the cheese presser lid. It was essential to make them work.

  In other words, when using these conventional instruments, both hands are completely blocked due to the cheese grabbing operation, so the conventional instruments must be installed in front of the guests sitting at the table in a restaurant or the like. It was unsuitable for use and serving. In addition, waitresses and waiters often have dishes, pitchers, pitchers, etc. when serving customers, and at the same time there are situations where both hands cannot be used and only one hand can be used.

  In addition, these conventional graters involve potential risks in terms of safety and hygiene in use because of these configurations.

(Food Greater of Patent Document 2)
As a means for solving these problems, Patent Document 2 discloses a food grader including first and second arm members. Specifically, the first arm member includes a grating member, while the second arm member includes a limiting unit for limiting the movement of food. The first and second arm members are engaged with each other, and are rotatable relative to each other in order to grate the food by the grating member. And in the case of use of a food greater, block cheese is mounted in the through-hole of a 2nd arm. The placed cheese is pressed obliquely downward from obliquely upward on the handle side by a press plate attached to one end of an arc-curved leg. The pressing force of the press plate and the leg is obtained by the biasing force of a spring provided at the other end of the leg.

(Problem 1 of Food Greater of Patent Document 2)
The use of the food grader of Patent Document 2 allows waiters and other waiters in restaurants to rub down cheese with only one hand operation in front of the customer, but there are also problems in use as described below. .

(Problem 1: The size of cheese that can be accommodated)
First, in the instrument of Patent Document 2, the cheese placed in the through-hole provided in the thickness direction of the second arm is pressed using a leg curved in an arc shape, so that it can be placed in the through-hole. The size of food (cheese) becomes limited. In other words, when used several times, it is necessary to prepare and attach new cheese immediately.

(Problem 2: Uneven cheese grated)
Moreover, in the instrument of patent document 2, since the leg curved in an arc shape is used, the lower surface of the cheese is not evenly pressed against the surface of the grating plate, and a part of the cheese is rubbed down while being locally pressed (see See also drawing 9). As a result, it is not possible to achieve efficient grinding, the size and shape of the resulting cheese grains become uneven (unevenness), and there is also waste such as uncut cheese in the through holes. End up.

(Problem 3: Scattered cheese)
Moreover, in the instrument of Patent Document 2, the grating plate on the first arm side performs the operation of shearing the cheese in the through-hole on the second arm side to the left and right due to its configuration. The grains eventually fall from each hole of the grating plate that constantly reciprocates left and right, and therefore inevitably scatter left and right due to the inertial force. In other words, even if you try to drop the cheese grains for dishes (pasta or pizza) on the plate, you can not expect a high accuracy rate, a considerable amount of cheese grains will protrude to the outside of the plate, the table There is a sufficient risk of getting dirty.

Japanese Patent No. 5365081 JP 2007-244869 A

  The present invention has been proposed in view of such circumstances, and provides a grater capable of suppressing the scattering of food grains such as cheese grains and the like and capable of being operated with only one hand at the time of rubbing. For the purpose.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a grater capable of containing (loading) a large-sized food such as a long cheese.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a grater capable of pressing the contained cheese more evenly against a blade plate with a grated blade during grabbing.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a grater capable of easily containing and placing food to be rubbed inside the grater body (longitudinal direction).

That is, the present invention employs, for example, the following configurations / features.
(Aspect 1)
A blade holder for holding a blade plate with a plurality of grated blades;
A main body capable of detachably connecting the blade holder;
A grater with
The body is
A first arm provided with an opening on one end side in the longitudinal direction near the blade holder;
A second arm provided with an attachment portion connectable to the holder at one longitudinal end near the blade holder;
A pivot pin that pivotally supports the first arm and the second arm on each other end side;
A first elastic body that urges the first arm and the second arm so that both of the one end sides are separated from each other;
And having
The first arm is
A food containing space extending from the opening to the other end of the first arm;
A pressing member capable of pressing the food by sliding in the longitudinal direction of the food containing space;
A second elastic body for urging the pressing member toward the opening and the blade plate;
Further comprising a grater.
(Aspect 2)
A base end is connected to the pressing member, and a leading end protrudes outside the first arm, and the leading bar is further pulled out to the outside, so that the second elastic body The grater according to aspect 1, wherein the pressing member can be moved away from the opening while resisting an urging force.
(Aspect 3)
The grater according to aspect 2, wherein the drawer rod further includes a stopper that temporarily holds the drawer state.
(Aspect 4)
A mode in which the pull-out bar has an engaging portion that is temporarily engageable with the pivot pin in a part of the longitudinal direction thereof, and the engaging portion constitutes the stopper. The listed grater.
(Aspect 5)
The blade holder accommodates a part of the one end side of each of the first arm and the second arm, and limits an arm-to-arm distance between the first arm and the second arm respectively urged by the first elastic body. The grater in any one of the aspects 1-4 characterized by the above-mentioned.

(Cutting mechanism of the grater of the present invention)
According to the grater of the present invention, in use, the blade holder with the grated blade and the second arm are always kept stationary, and the main body composed of the first and second arms is grasped. By changing the strength of the gripping force of the hand, the first arm biased by the first elastic body can be moved closer to the second arm while turning around the pivot pin (the main body is closed) or kept away. Or a series of reciprocating motions (opening / closing motions).

  While the balance between the biasing force and the gripping force of the first elastic body is periodically changed, the second elastic body provided in the first arm and the pressing member associated therewith are attached to the first arm. The food (for example, cheese) accommodated in the food accommodating space is pressed to be pushed out to the opening of the first arm and the blade plate attached near the opening.

  When the reciprocating operation and the pressing are performed at the same time, the opposite surface of the food pushed out by the pressing member reciprocates while making strong contact with the plurality of grated blades on the inner surface of the blade plate. It can be finely cut into particles.

(One-handed operation is possible)
Since it has the above configuration, the grater of the present invention can be operated with only one hand.

(Prevents scattering of cheese grains and improves accuracy)
Furthermore, in the reciprocating reciprocating operation, the food that is the work is reciprocated, but the blade plate with the grated blade that becomes the final passage from the grater of the present invention after the cheese grains are rubbed down, Since it is always kept in a “still state”, it is possible to greatly suppress the scattering of the cheese grains when scraping.

  Thereby, at the time of use of the grater of the present invention, the blade plate is directed downward, for example, with a serving dish or serving plate, and the other ends of the first and second arms are directed upward. In this way, while holding the grater posture of the present invention, by carrying out the above-described reciprocating operation after containing food in the food containing space, the bulk food as the work piece reciprocates left and right, The resulting cheese grains are formed and discharged by each of the grated blades of the stationary blade plate (preferably, after that, through the through-holes), so that the first and second arms are vigorously grasped and opened / closed. Even then, it falls quietly toward the target with high accuracy.

(Realization of longer food (long body) and reduction of food replacement frequency)
Moreover, in the grater of this invention, in order to form the opening part and the food storage space extended in the other end side from the opening part in the longitudinal direction one end side of the 1st arm which comprises a part of main body of this invention. Longer food (for example, cheese or radish processed into a rod shape or prismatic shape) can be stored. This can increase the amount that can be rubbed in one loading (accommodating) of food (workpiece), in other words, the frequency of food replacement can be significantly reduced. For example, in a restaurant, if cheese is set (accommodated) in the grater of the present invention before the business start time, it will be exchanged until the end of business unless there is much (set the next cheese This eliminates the need for the waiter and eliminates the extra time and work involved in serving the waiter.

(Realization of more uniform sized cheese grains)
Further, the second elastic body and the pressing member associated therewith push out the food along the longitudinal direction of the first arm so that the food can be rubbed down while being brought into contact with the blade plate vertically. That is, since the food is rubbed down while being uniformly pressed as a whole, cheese grains having a more uniform size and shape can be created.

(Temporary retention of food storage space)
Moreover, according to the grater of the suitable aspect of this invention, since the drawer | drawing-out stick | rod of the said structure is installed, temporary securing of the food storage space for food injection | emission becomes easy. More preferably, by using the drawer bar in combination with the stopper configured as described above, the food storage space can be temporarily held in the widest state, and the food can be easily put in that state. Thereafter, when the stopper is released, the food stored in the food storage space can be immediately urged (pressed) toward the blade plate by the second elastic body and the pressing member.

(Outline of the grater)
The grater 1 of Example 1 is provided with the blade holder 2 and the main body 3 which can connect this blade holder 2 detachably, as shown to each figure of FIGS. 1-3. The structure of the blade holder 2 and the main body 3 will be described in detail below.

(Blade holder structure)
First, the blade holder 2 holds a blade plate 21 with a plurality of grated blades 22 as shown in FIGS. In the illustrated example, the grated blade 22 is uniformly formed over the entire surface of the blade plate 21.

(Grated blade structure)
The grated blade 22 extends from the outer surface 21a of the blade plate 21 to the inner surface 21b (the surface facing the main body 3 when assembled) as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6A to 6C. It is preferable to include a through hole 23 and teeth 24 that protrude from a part of the inner peripheral wall that defines the through hole 23 into the through hole 23. In addition, it is further preferable that the tip of the tooth 24 is configured to protrude further inward from the inner surface 21b of the blade plate 21 (that is, close to an opening 41 described later of the main body 3 in the assembled state). . As a result, as will be described later, the food 9 (for example, long and massive cheese as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b)) is pressed against the blade plate 21 in the grater 1 of the present invention. When reciprocating around the blade 22, each tooth 24 comes into good contact with the food 9.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the blade holder 2 has at least one (three in the drawing) mounting portion (illustrated) that engages with a second arm 5 (a claw portion 51), which will be described later, of the main body 3. In the example of FIG. The blade holder 2 can be detachably attached to the main body 3 by the engagement between the attachment holes 25 and the claw portions 51.

(Body structure)
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2A, the main body 3 of the first embodiment is mainly configured by the first and second arms 4 and 5, the shaft support pin 6, and the first elastic body 7. . Here, the first arm 4 is provided with an opening 41 on the longitudinal end 1 a side close to the blade holder 2. On the other hand, the second arm 5 is provided with an attachment portion 51 (in the example of FIG. 2A, a claw portion 51) that can be connected to the holder 2 on the longitudinal end 5a side close to the blade holder 2. The pivot pin 6 pivotally supports the first arm 4 and the second arm 5 at the other longitudinal ends 4b and 5b. The 1st elastic body 7 urges | biases the 1st arm 4 and the 2nd arm 5 so that the both ends 4a and 5a side may leave | separate (refer the white arrow shown to Fig.2 (a)).

(Preferable structure of the first elastic body)
As shown in FIG. 2B, the first elastic body 7 preferably forms a U-shaped leaf spring, and more preferably, the pivot pin 6 is provided in the deepest inner portion 71 of the U-shape. Is arranged (inserted), one of the overhang portions 72 and 73 on both sides of the U-shape is attached to the first arm 4, and the other 73 is attached to the second arm 5. As a result, the first and second arms 4 and 5 that are rotatable about the pivot pin 6 are attached by the first elastic body 7 so as to be separated from each other (particularly, the respective longitudinal ends 4a and 5a are mutually separated). Be forced.

(Structure of the first arm)
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the first arm 4 further includes a food storage space 42, a pressing member 43, and a second elastic body 44. Here, the food storage space 42 can extend (extend and contract) in the longitudinal direction from the opening 41 to the other end 4 b side of the first arm 4. The pressing member 43 (described later) is pushed back toward the inside of the first arm 4 (from the opening 41 to the other end 4b in the longitudinal direction) with a bare hand or a pulling rod 8 (described later) against the pressing force. The space 42 can be secured and the food 9 having a desired length can be put into the first arm 4.

(Structure of pressing member and second elastic body)
Further, the outer wall 43 a of the pressing member 43 can slide on the food 9 by sliding in the longitudinal direction of the first arm 4. The second elastic body 44 biases the pressing member 43 so as to apply a pressing force. Specifically, the second elastic body 44 urges the pressing member 43 toward the opening 41 (and the blade plate 21 when assembled). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4C, the second elastic body 44 is a coil spring, one end 44 a is connected to the inner wall 43 b of the pressing member 43, and the other end 44 b is the first arm 4. The other end 4b is connected to an end (in the example shown, a pivot pin 6).

(Food cutting mechanism by the grater of the present invention)
The first and second arms 4 and 5 urged to each other by the first elastic body 7 are gripped, and the one end 4a side of the first arm 4 is located on the one end 5a side of the second arm 5 with the pivot pin 6 as a base point. By manually repeating the operation of approaching or separating the food 9, the food 9 accommodated in the first arm 4 and urged by the second elastic body 44 is interposed between them as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7. Reciprocates on the blade plate 21 and is rubbed down by the plurality of grated blades 22.

(Add a drawer bar)
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the grater 1 of the present invention has a base end 8 a connected to the inner wall 43 b of the pressing member 43 and a tip 8 b protruding out of the first arm 4. It is preferable to further include a drawing bar 8. Here, the pull-out bar 8 is characterized in that the pressing member 43 can be moved away from the opening 41 while resisting the urging force of the second elastic body 44 by further pulling the tip 8b outward.

  In the present embodiment, the drawing bar 8 is formed with two plate members 81 and 82 that are divided into two and extending in parallel on the way from the distal end 8b to the proximal end 8a. A gap G having a constant distance in the longitudinal direction and having left and right openings is formed between the two plate members 81 and 82, and the shaft support pin 6 is inserted into the gap G. Further, the two plate members 81 and 82 constituting the pull-out bar 8 are bifurcated and finally both are connected to the inner wall 43b of the pressing member 43. In the meantime, the first elastic body 7 The punch hole 74 (see FIG. 2B) and the hollow portion 44h (FIG. 4C) of the second elastic body 44 (coil spring) are inserted. Accordingly, the pressing member 43 can be pulled back straight in the longitudinal direction by the pull-out bar 8 without causing interference with other members attached in the main body 3.

(Add stopper)
The drawer bar 8 preferably further includes a stopper 83 that temporarily holds the drawer state. More preferably, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the pull-out bar 8 is inserted through the second elastic body 44 and temporarily engaged with the shaft support pin 6 at a part of its longitudinal direction. A possible engaging portion 83 a is provided, and the engaging portion 83 a constitutes a stopper 83.

  In the illustrated example, narrow portions 83 a and 83 a that narrow the gap G are formed at one place in the longitudinal direction of the forked plate members 81 and 82. When the drawer bar 8 is pulled out (in the above-described locked state), the narrow portions 83a and 83a are temporarily engaged with the pivot pin 6 so that the food storage space 42 is provided in the first arm 4. Is temporarily held in the most spread state (maximum volume). If the blade holder 2 is removed from the main body 3 and the first arm 4 is temporarily held, the food (workpiece) 9 can be easily and easily put into the food storage space 42 having the maximum volume. become able to.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 5, the blade holder 2 described above has a cover portion 26 that can accommodate a part of the first and second arms 4, 5 on the one end 4 a, 5 a side. Is preferred. Here, the cover 26 restricts the distance L between the first arm 4 and the second arm 5 biased by the first elastic body 7 (see FIGS. 2A and 3). Features. Accordingly, since the amplitude of the food 9 that is accommodated in the grater 1 and periodically reciprocates on the blade plate 21 with the grated blade 22 is also limited, food grains (cheese grains) in a predetermined region of the blade plate 21. 9 g is scraped off and discharged only from that area.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the blade plate 21 is curved so that its cross section forms an arc. In particular, the arc is a distance from the pivot pin 6 to the one end 4a side of the first arm 4. It is preferable to have an arc curvature with a radius of. Thereby, the locus of the food 9 that reciprocates around the pivot pin 6 while being pushed out from the opening 41 on the one end 4a side of the first arm 4 and the curvature of the blade plate 21 substantially correspond to each other. During the reciprocating motion (rubbing operation) of the food 9, the food 9 can continuously contact the blade plate 21 while maintaining an appropriate distance and pressing force.

  The first arm 4 forms a hollow cylindrical body (a hollow rectangular cylindrical body provided with a slit 45 in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 2A), and the second arm 5 has a concave cross section or a U-shape. It is preferable to form a frame having a cross section. In particular, when the first arm 4 is brought close to the second arm 5 against the urging force of the first elastic body 7, at least a part of the cross-sectional area of the first arm 4 is a concave cross section of the second arm 5 or It is preferable to be configured so as to be disposed in the opening region of the U-shaped cross section. As a result, when the first arm 4 is reciprocated, both the members 4 and 5 can be brought close to each other so that the one end 4a of the first arm 4 and the one end 5a of the second arm 5 come into contact with each other. The amplitude at the time of periodic reciprocating motion can be maximized without waste.

(How to use a grater)
A method of using the grater 1 having the above configuration will be described below.

(Removing the blade holder)
When all the parts 2 and 3 of the grater 1 of the first embodiment are assembled, first, the engagement between the mounting hole 25 of the blade holder 2 and the claw portion 52 of the second arm 5 is released. Then, the blade holder 2 is removed from the main body 3 (see FIG. 2A).

(Drawer drawer)
The leading end 8 b of the drawing bar 8 is gripped, and the drawing bar 8 is further pulled out to the outside of the first arm 4. Thereby, the pressing member 43 connected to the base end 8a of the drawer bar 8 can be further away from the opening 41, and the food containing space 42 can be enlarged.

(Temporary locking of the drawer bar with a stopper)
Next, when the drawer bar 8 is continuously pulled out, a stopper 83 (the narrow portions 83a and 83a in the figure) formed on the drawer bar 8 is part of the first arm 4 (in the figure, the pivot pin 6). Is engaged (clamped) to temporarily hold the drawn-out state of the drawn-out bar 8 (see FIG. 4B). That is, since the food storage space 42 having the maximum volume can be temporarily formed and held, the food 9 can be put into the first arm 4 remarkably easily.

(Food input)
Here, while holding the first arm 4 locked by the stopper 83 by hand, the food 9 (for example, cheese shown in FIG. 7 (a), radish or other food not shown) from the opening 41 to the food containing space 42. throw into.

(Attaching the blade holder)
When the food 9 is safely put into the first arm 4, the blade holder 2 is attached to the main body 3 by engaging the claw portions 51 of the second arm 5 with the corresponding mounting portions (mounting holes) 25. Attach (see FIG. 1 (a)).

(Handling of the first and second arms 4 and 5 and a food greasing operation)
The first and second arms 4 and 5 are held with one hand while the blade plate 21 is directed to a target (not shown) (for example, a dish), and the first arm 4 is cycled by applying strength to the holding force. The distance L between the arms is varied. In response to this, the food 9 pressed against the second elastic body 7 also periodically reciprocates on the blade plate 21, so that the food 9 is finely rubbed down and 9 g of food grains (cheese grains) are grated. Are discharged and dropped from the through hole 23 toward the target (see FIG. 7B).

  As described above, the grater of the present invention can provide a grater capable of suppressing the scattering of cheese grains during rubbing and operable with only one hand. In addition, the grater of the present invention can accommodate (inject) a large-sized food such as a long cheese. In addition, the grater of the present invention can press the contained cheese more evenly against the blade plate with the grated blades when grated.

  The grater of the present invention that exhibits such remarkable effects is not found in the industry or market of the grater, and has very high industrial utility value and industrial applicability.
