An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that components common to the following embodiments may be assigned the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted. In the description of the example of the embodiment of the present invention, the front side is the upstream side and the tip side is the downstream side in the shaving direction (sliding direction) of the grater. In addition, the surface on which the food is scraped by the grazing work is the sliding surface.
<First Embodiment>

FIG. 1 is a view showing an example of the grater 1 according to the first embodiment, FIG. 1(a) is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 1(b) is a bottom view thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration example of the grater 1 according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2(a) is a diagram for explaining the configuration example, FIG. 2(b) is an AA sectional view, FIG.2(c) is BB sectional drawing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the grater 1 includes a grater surface 10 for sliding down the food F and a handle (grip part) 20 connected to the grater surface 10 for gripping the grater 1. And The handle 20 is provided on the upstream side in the scraping direction.

The grater surface 10 includes a grater 11 and a grater frame 12 formed so as to surround the grater 11. The grater 11 includes a plurality of blade group portions 31, 32, 33 and an outer edge reinforcing portion 70. Both sides of the grater 11 are used as sliding surfaces for grater work.

The grater 11 has, for example, a substantially trapezoidal shape with rounded corners, and a base end portion 121 which is an upstream side when the grater work is performed has a narrow width, and a tip end portion 122 which is a downstream side opposite to the upstream side is formed wide. The grater 11 is made of metal, and for example, a stainless steel plate or a copper plate is used. Although the plate thickness is not particularly limited, for example, a plate having a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 mm is used. The thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm is preferably used. Note that steel plates partially different in thickness may be used. Further, the grater does not have to be made of metal, and may be a synthetic resin such as a plastic resin like the grater frame 12 described later.

The outer edge strengthening portion 70 is formed in a concave shape by folding back metal on one surface (for example, the surface) of the grater 11 along the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the grater 11. By providing the outer edge strengthening portion 70, the strength of the thin grater 11 against warping is increased so that the grater 11 is not bent during the grater work.

On the outer periphery of the grater 11, a grater frame 12 is formed so as to surround the outer peripheral edge thereof. The grater frame 12 is formed, for example, in a substantially trapezoidal shape having rounded corners corresponding to the grater 11. The grater frame 12 is made of plastic resin or elastomer resin, and is formed by insert-molding the grater 11.

On the tip portion 122 side (downstream side in the scraping direction) of the grater frame 12, there is provided a tip anti-slip portion 13 having two protruding portions whose both ends project from other portions. In the recessed portion between the two protruding portions, two protruding portions 14 that project in the direction perpendicular to the lowering surface 10 are provided at intervals. The convex portions 14 are provided on both sides of the lowering surface 10. Further, it is provided so as to be located on the circumference centered on the approximate center of the lowering surface 10.

The tip non-slip portion 13 is made of, for example, a non-slip material such as an elastomer resin, and is integrally molded with the grater frame 12 or assembled by fitting. The convex portion 14 is integrally formed of the same material as the tip anti-slip portion 13. The tip anti-slip part 13 and the convex part 14 play a role of anti-slip when the container G or the like is put down and the work is performed.

The grater 11 is provided with a plurality of blade group portions 31, 32, 33 having a plurality of blades, and boundary portions 41, 42, 43 are formed on the tip end 122 side (sliding direction or advancing direction) of each blade group portion. It

The blade group portions 31, 32, 33 include a first blade group portion 31 having a plurality of blades, a second blade group portion 32 having a plurality of blades having the same shape as the first blade group portion but different sizes, A first blade group portion and a third blade group portion 33 having a plurality of blades having different shapes are formed. These blade group portions 31, 32, 33 are formed in different areas on the grater surface 10.

In FIG. 1, the first blade group portion 31 is formed in the front area, the third blade group portion 33 is formed in the rear area, and the second blade group portion 32 is the first blade group portion 31 and the third blade group portion. The example formed in the intermediate region between 33 is shown. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the first blade group portion 31 may be formed in the rear area and the third blade group portion 33 may be formed in the intermediate area.

The blade group portions 31, 32, 33 are formed on both the front and back surfaces of the grater 11. In the present embodiment, the first blade group portion 31 and the third blade group portion 33 are formed on one surface (for example, the front surface) of the front and back of the grater 11, and the second blade group portion is formed on the other surface (for example, the back surface). 32 is formed. The blade groups in adjacent regions are alternately formed on both sides of the grater 11 so that they do not have the same surface. Since the sliding surfaces are provided alternately, the blade groups other than the blade group used for grazing work will be located on the opposite side, and the sliding surface will move from the front (upstream side) of sliding. Even if food is slid, the blade group in front does not interfere.

3A and 3B are views for explaining the first blade group portion 31, FIG. 3A is a plan view, FIG. 3B is a plan view, and FIG. 3C is in the major axis direction. FIG. 3D is a perspective view of the C-C sectional view.

When the food material F slides on the sliding surface of the grater surface 10, the first blade group portion 31 is a portion that abuts on the food material F and cuts into the food material F at the contacted portion to dive it. .. The first blade group portion 31 is formed by arranging a plurality of blades 131. The blade 131 includes a submerged hole 50, a bulging blade 51 that expands from the grater 11 while expanding its width to reach the edge of the submerged hole 50, and a recessed part that expands from the grater 11 and widens to reach the edge of the submerged hole 50. And a lower portion 52.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the dive hole 50 is a substantially semicircular through hole with rounded corners. The diving hole 50 can have, for example, a diameter H within a range of approximately 2.0 to 8.0 mm, and preferably 5.0 mm to 8.0 mm.

The bulging blade 51 is shaped so as to bulge the surface of the grater 11 in the diametrical direction of the substantially semicircle of the submerged hole 50 while gradually expanding the width and reach the edge of the submerged hole 50.

The recessed lower portion 52 has a shape reaching the edge of the diving hole 50 by gradually lowering the surface of the grater 11 in the arc direction of the semicircle of the diving hole 50 while gradually widening the width.

In the first blade group portion 31, the concave lower portion 52 guides the food material F to the diving hole 50, and the edge of the bulging blade 51 serves as a blade and cuts into the food material. As shown in FIG. 3B, the edge of the bulging blade 51 and the edge of the concave lower portion 52 have a substantially semicircular shape in a plan view.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the edge of the bulging blade 51 is perpendicular to the grazing surface 10 and has an angle of 2° to 30 with respect to a plane including a straight line passing through the two points where the bulging starts. It is formed so as to have an inclination of 5°, preferably 5° to 20°.

As shown in FIGS. 3(b) and 3(d), the part where the edge of the bulging blade 51 and the edge of the recessed lower portion 52 are connected is gently connected because the corners of the semicircle are rounded, improving safety. Has been.

The blade 132 of the second blade group portion 32 has the same shape and shape as the blade 131 of the first blade group portion 31, but the size of the submerged hole 50 is smaller than that of the blade 131 of the first blade group portion 31. .. The diameter H of the submerged hole 50 of the blade 132 of the second blade group portion 32 can be set in the range of, for example, about 2.0 to 4.0 mm. Therefore, the blades 131 and 132 included in the first blade group portion 31 and the second blade group portion 32 are expansion blades but different in size.

The blade group portions 31 and 32 can change the shape of the grated food by changing the size of the diving hole 50. Further, by forming the entrance of the food material F, which is formed by the bulging blade 51 and the concave lower portion 52, into a semicircular shape, the food material F having a large thickness can be prepared. Furthermore, grated foods with the same shape but different sizes are made. When the first blade group portion 31 is formed to be larger than the second blade group portion 32 as in the present embodiment, the first blade group portion 31 forms the food material into a slightly large block shape having a thickness such as finely chopped. It is grated, and the second blade group portion 32 grates the ingredients finely for condiment. Here, the grated food material F passes through the diving hole 50 and falls from the surface opposite to the sliding surface.

The submerged hole 50 may be formed in a substantially semicircular shape to a substantially crescent shape so that the angle θ of the bulging blade 51 is formed to be 0° or less. By making the edge of the bulging blade 51 into a claw shape, the foodstuff F is more easily caught by the blade.

The plurality of blades forming the first blade group portion 31 and the second blade group portion 32 have an arc shape (curved shape) in which the tip 122 side is convex in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the grater surface 10. They are arranged and formed in a plurality of rows. Further, the curved diameter of the arc is formed differently for each row of blades.

When the position where the foodstuff F starts to be grated is regarded as the center point and the circumference is regarded as the circumference, the sliding operation can be regarded as an operation of gradually moving from the center to a large circumference and a fan-shaped arc. By arranging the blades in a line there, the blade group can be easily arranged, and the sliding operation can be easily operated.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the first blade group 31 has a plurality of blades 131 arranged in two rows. In the shaving direction (sliding direction), the blades 131 are arranged so that one blade 131 in the second row on the base end 121 side is positioned between adjacent blades 131 in the first row on the tip 122 side. Are arranged in two columns. Further, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2A, the ends of the swelling blades 51 of the blades 131 on the side of the submerged hole 50 are arranged so as to be positioned on a curved line. Here, the bending diameter of the first row in the arrangement direction is formed to be larger than the bending diameter of the second row in the arrangement direction.

If at least four blades 131 having substantially the same shape are arranged in the same row, a plurality of blades 131 can form an arc shape (curved shape). That is, at least four blades are arranged side by side on one curved line (a curve that bulges downstream in the cutting direction).

The second blade group portion 32 has the blades arranged in three rows. The blades are arranged so that one blade 132 in the second central row is located between the adjacent blades 132 in the first row on the distal end 122 side and the third row on the proximal end 121 side, and the blades are divided into three blades. Arranged in columns. Here, the bending diameter of each row in the arrangement direction is formed so as to increase in order from the third row to the first row.

Further, the radius of curvature of the arc of the first blade group portion 31 (the direction of the row of blades) is formed to be larger than the radius of curvature of the arc of the second blade group 32 (the direction of the row of blades). .. Therefore, in the first blade group portion 31 and the second blade group portion, the curved diameter of the arc of the first blade group portion 31 is larger than the curved diameter of the second blade group portion 32, and in the first blade group portion 31, The curved diameter of the circular arc in the first row is formed to be larger than the curved diameter of the circular arc in the second row (formed such that the curved diameter indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2A increases from upstream to downstream). Has been).

In the present embodiment, the first blade group portion 31 and the second blade group portion 32 have two or three rows of blades, but the number of blade rows may be large. For example, when the region of the first blade group portion 31 is formed to be wide and the blades are arranged in an increased number of rows such as 5 rows or 10 rows, it is possible to arrange more blades than the linear arrangement. You can grate more ingredients at once.

4A and 4B are views for explaining the third blade group portion 33, FIG. 4A is a plan view, and FIG. 4B is a plan view showing another example of the third blade group portion. ..

When the food material slides on the grazing surface 10, the third blade group portion 33 comes into contact with the food material F and scrapes and lowers the food material in the contact portion. As shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 4A, the blades of the third blade group portion 33 include substantially rectangular drop holes 60 that are through holes formed in the grater surface 10 and edges of the drop holes 60. In, the projection blade group 61 formed by bending a part of the grater 11 is included. The number of the projecting blades of the projecting blade group 61 formed on the edge of the drop hole 60 can be set appropriately, but is preferably about 2 to 15. The blades of the third blade group portion 33 are formed and arranged so that the protruding blade group 61 is inclined in the same direction with respect to the sliding direction of the grazing surface. Therefore, the first blade group portion 31, the second blade group portion 32, and the third blade group portion 33 have the same function of dropping the food material on the side opposite to the grazing surface 10 with respect to the sliding surface, and a mechanism for scraping the food material. Are different.

Note that the corners A and the space B between the blades shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, it is possible to prevent clogging by making a gap such as a corner A1 or a space B1 between the blades. Here, the interval B1 between the blades may be formed so that there is an interval when a part of the grater 11 is bent, or the direction in which the blade is bent alternates between the front and back of the grater surface 10 May be formed so as to be empty. In this case, in order to maintain the amount of the food F to be grated, as shown in FIG. 4B, a protruding blade C may be provided also on the short side of the substantially rectangular drop hole 60.

The boundary parts 41, 42, 43 are used to clarify the boundary between the blade group part and the blade group part and to appropriately suppress the bending of the blade. The first boundary 41 is on the tip 122 side of the first blade group 31, the second boundary 42 is on the tip 122 side of the second blade group 32, and the third boundary 43 is the third blade. It is provided on the tip end 122 side of the group 33. Each boundary 41, 42, 43 is formed by pushing and bending the grater 11 in a convex shape in a direction opposite to the grater surface 10 of each corresponding blade group on the upstream side, and is concave when viewed from the surface of the grater surface 10. It has the shape of.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the first blade group portion 31 and the third blade group portion 33 are provided on the surface of the grazing surface 10, and the first boundary portion 41 and the third boundary portion 43 are also provided on the surface. Therefore, the surface is concave. That is, the blade groups 31 and 33 project in the direction opposite to the projecting direction (sliding surface) of the bulging blade 51 and the grazing surface 10. The second boundary 42 is provided on the back surface and has a convex shape on the front surface.

Each boundary 41, 42, 43 is formed so as to be orthogonal to the sliding direction in the tip 122 direction of each blade group, and has a curved shape protruding in the tip 122 direction of the grater 11. Each of the boundary portions 41, 42, 43 is formed such that the vicinity of the center has a gentle bend, and both end portions have a slightly sharp bend from the center.

In addition, in this embodiment, three boundary portions are provided, but at least the boundary portion may be provided at the boundary between the adjacent blade group portions.

If the boundary that is convex to the sliding surface is in front of the blade group (upstream side) of the sliding surface, the sliding person who feels the protrusion feels in front of the blade and rushes into the blade group. It is possible to obtain a sensory effect that makes you feel where you are. Also, when sliding, the force is stored by being caught a little at the convex boundary, and after the operation of jumping and descending at the convex boundary, there is a blade group at the landing position. The force is concentrated and enters the blade group. This series of operations (called a jump effect) can further improve the operability of the grazing work. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the blade group portion to which a load is applied during the grazing work is arranged downstream so that the above-mentioned jump effect can be effectively obtained.

As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 20 is integrally formed with the grater frame 12 so as to extend upstream from the base end 121 side of the grater frame 12. The handle 20 expands toward the outside of the grater frame 12, and is formed in a substantially elliptical ring shape having a major axis having substantially the same width as the tip portion 122 side of the grater frame 12. The grater surface 10 including the grater frame 12 has a substantially trapezoidal shape, but the entire grater 1 including the handle 20 has a substantially gourd shape in which the connecting portion between the grater surface 10 and the handle 20 is a constricted portion. ..

Further, the handle 20 has a hole 21 penetrating therethrough. The hole 21 has a curved shape on the side of the base end 121, and the opposite side has a shape including a circular arc 22 having a convex shape on the side connected to the grater frame 12 (on the side of the base end 121).

Protrusions 14a projecting in a direction perpendicular to the grater surface 10 are provided at two positions on both sides of the grater surface 10 at intervals in a portion of the handle 20 that extends outward from the base end portion 121 side close to the grater frame 12. Has been. The handle 20 is made of plastic resin or elastomer resin. Further, the convex portion 14a is made of a non-slip material such as an elastomer resin.

Since the grater 1 is provided with the ring-shaped handle 20, the user can firmly grasp the grater 1 and perform the grazing work. Further, the arc 22 on the upstream side of the handle 20 is formed of an elastic elastomer or the like so that it does not slip when gripped by a hand. Further, the convex portions 14a protruding in the direction perpendicular to the grater surface 10 are provided at two positions on both sides of the grater surface 10, respectively, and thus the grater 1 is prevented from moving when placed on the container G. ..

The handle 20 may be formed separately from the grater frame 12, and the handle 20 may be attached to the grater frame 12. Further, the handle 20 may be omitted.

The grater work using the grater 1 is performed by pressing the food material F against the grater 11 on the sliding surface of the grater 1 and sliding it in the direction from the base end 121 to the tip 122 of the grater 11.

At the time of the grater work using the first blade group portion 31 or the second blade group portion 32, the foodstuff F comes into contact with the edge of the bulging blade 51 waiting in front of the recessed lower portion 52 in the sliding direction to make a cut. After being caught, it is further pushed in the sliding direction, so that the part that is being cut and separated is submerged in the submerged hole 50 and advances in the opposite direction as it is to become a grated food product.

FIG. 5: is a figure which shows an example of the usage aspect of the grater 1 which concerns on this embodiment. FIG. 4A shows a case where the container G is put in the container G for use, and FIG. 5B shows a case where the container G is put over the edge of the container G for use.

As shown in FIG. 5A, when the grater 1 is put in a circular container (cooking ball) G for use, the tip anti-slip portion 13 of the grater frame 12 is applied to the inside of the container G. Since the tip non-slip portion 13 hits the container G firmly and is hard to slip, the grazing work can be performed smoothly.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the grater 1 is used by being stretched over the edge of the circular container G, the tip anti-slip portion 13 and the convex portion 14 provided in a part of the handle 20 are provided in the container G. Since the grater 1 is prevented from moving against the edge of the grater, the grater work can be easily performed.

The first embodiment has been described above. According to the grater 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a grater capable of easily preparing a blade having a shape desired to be cooked, regardless of a container for storing food.

For example, the thin grater 11 is easily distorted due to the force applied to the place where the food material F is pressed during the grater work, but the provision of the boundary portions 41, 42, 43 prevents the grater 11 from being bent. can do. Further, by providing the outer edge strengthening portion 70, it is possible to prevent the grater 11 from bending during the grater work.

Since the boundary parts 41, 42, 43 are provided between the blade group parts, it becomes clear where the food material F is to be applied, and the food material F is applied to one blade group part 31, 32, 33 in a concentrated manner. You can

Furthermore, since the boundaries 41, 42, 43 have a shape that is recessed with respect to the sliding surface of the grater surface 10, the foodstuff F does not get caught on the boundaries 41, 42, 43 and stop during the grater work. , You can continuously and smoothly perform the grater work.

By arranging the blade rows of the first blade group portion 31 and the second blade group portion 32 in a curved shape, the force does not escape laterally during the grater work and is easily concentrated in the center, and stable grater work can be performed. it can. Further, since the blade group portion and each blade row are arranged in a curved shape, the contact surface of the food material hits the blades evenly with one sliding, compared to the case where the blades are arranged in a straight line, so that the food material F is well bited. , It is rare to be missed.

Further, the positions of the blade group portions 31, 32, 33 to be used are clear, and the position where the container G for receiving the food F is arranged is easy to understand. Further, since the blade group portions 31, 32, 33 are alternately provided on both sides of the grater 11, the foodstuff F hits only the blade group portions 31, 32, 33 to be used, and the grater work can be efficiently performed. .. Further, during the grater work, the food material F that has passed through the blade group portions 31, 32, 33 does not hit the other blade group portions 31, 32, 33, and the grading work can be performed continuously with a good tempo.

Since the plurality of blade group portions 31, 32, 33 are alternately arranged on both sides of the grater surface 10 from the tip portion 122 side, the blade group portions 31, 32, 33 to be used can be simply turned over. Can be prepared.

Further, since the grater 1 is formed from the grater surface 10 and the handle 20, it is sufficient to place the blade group portions 31, 32, 33 to be used on the container G so that they are located inside the container G. It can be used regardless of the size and shape of the container G.

Since each convex portion 14 is provided on the circumference centered on the approximate center of the grater surface 10, the grater 1 is less likely to slip when it is placed on the container G such as a ball and used, and the grater work Can be done smoothly.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of blades of the third blade group portion and the fourth blade group portion are alternately arranged such that the short side of the drop hole 60 faces the upper right diagonal and the upper left diagonal with respect to the sliding direction of the grate surface 10. Formed and arranged. By arranging them alternately, the worker can perform the same grater work for both right-handed and left-handed people, and the cutting efficiency can be improved.

The third blade group portion 33 and the fourth blade group portion 34 include a protruding blade group 61 composed of a plurality of convex portions obtained by bending the grater 11, and include a blade x1 having a substantially rectangular outer shape and a blade x2 having a substantially square shape. There is. By arranging the blades x1 and the blades x2 in combination, the blades are efficiently provided in the region of the third blade group portion, and a large number of grated foods F can be obtained with one grater work.

The boundary parts 41, 42, 43 are the first boundary part 41 between the first blade group part 31 and the second blade group part 32, and the second boundary part between the second blade group part 32 and the third blade group part 33. A third boundary portion 43 is provided between the portion 42, the third blade group portion 33, and the fourth blade group portion 34. The boundary portions 41, 42, 43 are not provided on the tip end side of the first blade group portion 31 because the outer edge strengthening portion 70 is provided.

The grater container 80 is a portion on which the grater 2 is placed and which receives the food material F grated by each blade group 31, 32, 33. A side wall 82 is formed around a bottom surface 81 of the grater container 80, and a surface on which the grater frame is placed is opened to form an opening mouth portion 83. Corresponding to the grater frame 12, the open mouth portion 83 is formed such that the end portion 122 side in use is wider than the base end portion 121 side, and each corner is rounded. The grater container 80 is formed such that the base end portion 121 side is deeper than the tip end portion 122 side. The container for grater has a bottom surface 81 with a slip stopper such as rubber.

The opening mouth portion 83 is formed so that the outer edge thereof extends in the outer peripheral direction, and the grate frame 12 is received by the outer edge. In addition, notches (not shown) are provided on both side walls in the long side direction of the grater container 80 so that the grater surface placed can be easily removed by lifting.

In the present embodiment, blade group portions 31, 32, 33 that increase the shape of the food material F pulled down to the tip portion 122 side are arranged. Therefore, when the grater 2 is placed on the grater container 80, the grater surface 10 is arranged so as to be obliquely lowered from the base end portion 121 toward the tip end portion 122.

During the grater work, when a force is applied in the sliding direction, a larger force can be applied to the lower portion, so that the hard food F is arranged efficiently in a large shape. For example, when making chopped carrots with the first blade group portion 31 and making grated garlic with the fourth blade group portion 34, the first blade group portion that requires a greater force, although the force application is different You can apply force to 31 efficiently.

That is, the blade group portion having a larger cutting force is arranged closer to the tip portion 122 side (downstream side). Here, the cutting force includes a case in which a large amount of grated food can be obtained in a single grazing operation and a case in which the size (roughness) of the grated food is referred to.

Specifically, the larger the diameter H of the submerged hole 50, the larger the bulging blade 51 (the higher it becomes in the direction perpendicular to the sliding surface) and the larger the cutting force. For example, since the diameter H of the submerged hole 50 of the first blade group portion 31 is larger than the diameter H of the submerged hole 50 of the second blade group portion 32, the bulging blade 51 of the first blade group portion 31 also has the second blade group portion 32. It becomes larger (the height becomes higher) than the bulging blade 51. Therefore, in the grater work, the first blade group portion 31 has a larger cutting force than the second blade group portion 32, and more grated food can be obtained. In addition, the size of the grated food will increase.

Protrusions 14 may be provided near each corner of the grater frame 12. If it is provided on both sides of the grater frame 12, the grater 2 can be placed and used so that the convex portions 14 hang on the edges of the container G other than the grater container 80.

In addition, the blade group portions 31, 32, 33, and 34 are alternately arranged such that the food material F dropped on the opposite surface with respect to the sliding surface.

<Third Embodiment>

9A and 9B are views showing an example of the grater 3 according to the third embodiment, FIG. 9A is a plan view thereof, FIG. 9B is a sectional view taken along line EE, and FIG. 9C. [Fig. 3] is a diagram showing a usage state. The grater 3 is the same as the grater according to any one of the above-described embodiments or modifications except that the grater 3 includes the fifth blade group portion 35, and therefore, different points will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 9( a ), the grater 3 is formed of a grater 11 serving as the grater surface 10 and a grater frame 12 surrounding the outer periphery of the grater 11. The grater 11 includes a fifth blade group 35 on the tip 122 side, a third blade group 33 on the base 121 side, a first boundary section 41, a fifth blade on the tip 122 side of the fifth blade group 35. An outer edge strengthening portion 70 is provided between the group portion 35 and the third blade group portion 33 in the vicinity of the second boundary portion 42 and the outer periphery of the grater 11. A grater frame 12 having a plurality of anti-slip portions 15 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the grater 11.

The fifth blade group portion 35 has the same shape and the same shape as the first blade group portion 31, but the size of the submerged hole 50 of the blade 135 is different. Further, a recess 53 is provided in a portion connecting the grater 11 to the bulging blade 51. As shown in FIG. 9B, the concave portion 53 projects in the direction opposite to the bulging blade 51 with respect to the grater 11 of the grater surface 10. When viewed from the surface of the grater surface 10, the concave portion 53 has a shape that is recessed in a portion opposite to the bulge blade 51 at a portion where the grater 11 bulges (downstream of the bulge blade 51).

In the grazing work, as shown in FIG. 9(c), the food material F comes into contact with the edge of the bulging blade 51 waiting in front of the recessed lower portion 52 in the sliding direction and is cut, and further in the sliding direction. The food material F cut into contact with the concave portion 53 by being pushed forward. When the cut food material F comes into contact with the concave portion 53, the food material F is broken at the contacted portion or the food material F is cracked. As a result, unlike the grated food F having a relatively uniform size made by the first blade group 31 and the like in which the recess 53 is not provided, a coarse grated food F having a sparse size is made. For example, when the radish streak and the edge of the bulging blade 51 are pushed in at a right angle, the cut radish hits the concave portion 53 and is broken, so that a coarse grated radish (so-called ogiri) can be made.

In addition, the area|region where the 3rd blade group part 33 is arrange|positioned may be other blade group parts 31, 32, 34, and the some blade group part 31, 32, 34 may be arrange|positioned.
