DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a cutter for cutting tofu into dice or dice.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tofu was placed on the palm and cut or cut into dice by a kitchen knife, so that a beginner of cooking or a clumsy person had the disadvantage that the kitchen knife would damage the palm. Moreover, even a beginner of cooking or a clumsy person fortunately has a disadvantage that it is extremely difficult to cut the tofu into dice of almost equal size without hurting the palm with a kitchen knife.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the drawbacks described in the prior art, so that even a beginner of cooking or a clumsy person does not hurt his palm,
Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tofu cutter which can easily cut tofu into dice having substantially the same size.

[0004]

The tofu cutter of the present invention comprises a plurality of thin horizontal metal wires parallel to each other at an interval on opposite sides of an inverted U-shaped frame provided with a handle at the center. And an inverted U-shaped frame body provided with a handle in the center, and two hollow cylindrical bodies that can be fitted and detached on opposite sides of the frame body with a space therebetween. And a member formed by extending a plurality of thin horizontal lines of metal in parallel.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. A plurality of thin horizontal wires 4 of a metal such as a piano wire are stretched in parallel at intervals D on opposite sides 3 and 3 ′ of a frame 2 made of rust steel or hard plastic. I have. The interval D varies depending on the type of dish, for example, about 1 cm in the case of miso soup, and in the case of tofu,
An interval D of about 5 cm is appropriate. Since the horizontal line 4 at the tip of the frame 2 serves as a kitchen knife when dividing one tofu according to the amount of use, the tip of the frame 2 must be Must be open.

In the above-described configuration, it is necessary to provide a plurality of tofu cutters having different intervals D according to the type of dish. This configuration is improved, and for example, as shown in FIG. As described above, a frame 2 made of non-rust steel such as stainless steel or hard plastic having an inverted U-shape provided with a handle 1 at the center.
And two hollow cylinders 5 and 5 ′ made of non-rusting steel such as stainless steel or hard plastic that can be fitted to and detached from the opposite sides 3 and 3 ′ of the frame 2 at intervals D. When a plurality of thin horizontal wires 4 such as a piano wire are stretched in parallel with a member 6, one frame 2 is provided. If a plurality of members 6 having an appropriate interval D are provided, the member 6 having an inappropriate interval D is removed from the frame 2 in accordance with cooking, and another member 6 having an appropriate interval D is fitted. It is preferable because the application range can be widened because it is possible to wear it.

[0007] In practice, when it is desired to divide one tofu, the tofu is placed on the palm (not shown). For example, as shown in FIG. And it can be easily split into two parts by moving it down as indicated by the arrow. Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the piece of the tofu thus divided is applied to the tofu cutter of the present invention on the upper surface of the tofu, cut into the tofu, and moved downward as indicated by the arrow to form a plate. Can be split. Next, as shown in FIG.
When the tofu is cut off by 0 degrees, it is applied to the upper surface of the plate-shaped tofu, cut into the plate, and moved downward as indicated by the arrow, the tofu can be divided into columns. Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), when the tofu cutter of the present invention is applied to the side surface of the column-divided tofu, cut into the tofu, and moved in the horizontal direction indicated by the arrow, the size becomes substantially uniform. It can be divided into dice.

[0008]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. When the tofu is put on the palm and divided or cut into dice, the palm is not damaged. One tofu can be divided into appropriate blocks according to the amount used. Even beginners and clumsy people can cut dice into roughly equal sizes. By providing a plurality of replacement members with different intervals,
The range of adaptation to cooking can be expanded. Since the structure is simple, mass production can be performed at low cost. The present invention has the above effects, and has high industrial utility value.
