DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a peeling tool for peeling spherical fruits such as apples and pears or columnar root vegetables such as radishes and carrots.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For peeling spherical fruits such as apples and pears, a conventional knife (fruit knife) is generally used. In such a case, the fruit is peeled in the circumferential direction sequentially by rotating the fruit with the thumb attached to the skin with the cutting edge of the kitchen knife cut into the skin of the fruit.

[0003] By the way, when peeling fruit with a kitchen knife,
It is performed while adjusting the inclination angle of the cutting edge manually, but it requires considerable skill and a considerable amount of time to peel the peel of the fruit to a constant thickness.

[0004] Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 7, peeling tools used for peeling a columnar peeling object Y such as radish or carrot are commercially available. This conventional peeling tool has a bifurcated projection 1 at the front end of a rod-shaped handle 11.
2 and 12, and a peeling blade 13 is attached between the protruding portions 12 and 12. The peeling blade 13
Both end portions 13a and 13b are rotatably attached to the respective protruding portions 12 and 12 in a slightly angular range. Then, the peeling tool shown in FIG.
3 is applied to the skin of the skin to be peeled Y, and the handle portion 11 is pulled in the length direction (axial direction) of the skin to be peeled Y, thereby peeling the skin Ya of the skin to be peeled in a straight line one by one. Is available. At this time, the skin stripping blade 13 is
It is designed so that it does not penetrate more than a certain depth into the epidermis, so that deep peeling does not occur.

By the way, in the conventional peeling tool shown in FIG.
The skin is peeled off while the handle 11 is gripped, and the skin peeling blade 13 generates considerable peeling resistance when the skin is peeled. At the time of peeling, there is a considerable distance between the grip portion (handle portion 11) and the peeling blade 13, and the handle portion 11 is rod-shaped. Knead left and right, or the length direction line (PP) of the peeling tool tilts left and right, and the stability of the peeling tool deteriorates. In particular, in the case where the skin is stripped in a state in which the offset position (closer to the end) of the stripping blade 13 is in contact with the surface of the skin to be stripped, the action of kneading the stripping blade 13 left and right becomes large. In this way, if the stability of the peeling tool is poor at the time of peeling, even if a columnar peeled object Y such as a radish is peeled in a straight line, the operation becomes difficult.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 8, when peeling a spherical fruit with a conventional peeling tool, the peeling tool is kneaded to the left and right due to poor stability at the time of peeling as described above. In many cases, the skin cannot be peeled smoothly due to the slanting movement or slipping of the peeling blade 3, and the peeled skin Ya often becomes thin or unpeeled (symbol Yb). The peeling tools shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are used mainly for peeling the skin of a columnar peeling object Y in the length direction (axial direction), and have a peeling surface such as a spherical fruit. It is not suitable for spherical ones.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional peeling tool, and is intended to easily and smoothly peel a cylindrical peeled object from a spherical one. It is intended to provide tools.

[0008]

The present invention has the following structure as means for solving the above-mentioned problems.

The invention according to claim 1 of the present application is directed to a peeling tool in which a peeling blade is attached to a front end of a base in a width direction of the base.
The peeling blade is attached between the two projecting portions formed at a predetermined interval on the front end of the base similarly to the conventional peeling tool. Also, this peeling blade has a function of preventing deep peeling.

The base is formed of a plate having a predetermined area. This base can be formed of a synthetic resin material. The size of this base is, for example, slightly wider (7-8 cm width) than the total width of the four finger portions from the little finger to the forefinger, and the length is one.
It is appropriate that the length is slightly shorter (5 to 6 cm in length) than the length of the finger of the book, but it is not particularly limited.

On the upper surface of the base, a finger insertion hole into which at least one of four fingers from the index finger to the little finger can be inserted is formed facing the length direction of the base. The finger insertion hole is set to a shape and a size such that the base does not stick to the finger when a predetermined finger is inserted into the finger insertion hole. In addition, this finger insertion hole can stably hold the base so that a large number of the four fingers from the index finger to the little finger can be inserted, but only one finger can be inserted. What was done can also be adopted.
In a finger insertion hole into which only one finger can be inserted, it is preferable that the middle finger can be inserted.

Further, in this skin peeling tool, a plurality of fingers can be attached to the upper surface of the base with predetermined fingers inserted in the finger insertion holes. That is, from the index finger to the little finger 4
When the finger is inserted into the finger insertion hole, the four fingers are naturally applied to the upper surface of the base. For example, even if only the middle finger is inserted into the finger insertion hole, the other fingers (index finger, ring finger,
At least one of the little fingers can be attached to the upper surface of the base.

The peeling tool of the first aspect is used as follows. That is, a predetermined finger is inserted into a finger insertion hole formed on the upper surface side of the base, and a plurality of four fingers from the index finger to the little finger are attached to the upper surface of the base. In this manner, in a state where the peeling tool is attached to the finger, the finger is inserted into the finger insertion hole and a plurality of fingers are applied to the upper surface of the base,
The peeling tool can be held in a stable posture. That is, the peeling tool does not knead to the left or right with respect to the finger, and the axis of the peeling tool does not tilt.
In this case, if all four fingers are applied to the upper surface of the base, the joint area between the finger and the upper surface of the base is increased, and the stability of the base is increased. Then, with the peeling tool attached to a finger, a peeling blade is applied to the surface of the peeled object to peel the skin. At this time, the skin peeling blade is pressed against the surface of the skin to be peeled with each finger attached to the upper surface of the base. When the peeling object is a columnar one such as a radish, the peeling tool is pulled in the length direction of the peeling object, and when the peeling object is a spherical one such as an apple, the skinning blade is used for the peeling object. The peeling is performed while the peeling object is being rotated with the other hand in a state of being applied to the outer peripheral surface. In the case of peeling the spherical skin, it is preferable to apply the thumb of the hand wearing the skin peeling tool to the outer surface of the skin.

Further, when the skin is peeled near the end of the blade when the skin is peeled, the peeling resistance is biased, so that the peeling tool works to knead in the left and right direction. Since the kneading action can be felt with the fingers worn, it is possible to prevent the peeling tool from being kneaded by adjusting the force of each finger. In addition, the force of each finger is set such that the stronger the peeling resistance, the stronger the pressure.

As described above, when the peeling tool is directly attached to the finger and the skin peeling tool is held in a state where a plurality of fingers are applied to the upper surface of the base, the gripping portion is held as in the conventional case. The posture of the peeling tool is more stable, and the peeling work on the skinned object can be performed smoothly.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the peeling tool of the first aspect, when the finger is inserted into the finger insertion hole, the tip of the finger is close to the peeling blade. . If the fingertip on which the skinning tool is attached is close to the skinning blade, the fingertip can hold down the vicinity of the area where a large resistance occurs during skinning (the skinning blade part), and the adjustment of the application of force can be performed. It will be easier. Further, when the fingertip is close to the peeling position (peeling blade portion), the peeling state (large or small of the peeling resistance) can be sensed with each fingertip.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the peeling tool according to the first or second aspect, wherein the mounting angle of the peeling blade is set such that the axis of the peeling blade is aligned with the length direction line of the finger insertion hole. On the other hand, it is set in the range of 100 ° to 110 ° with the end of the index finger inserted side of the peeling blade positioned forward. The mounting angle of the peeling blade is most preferably 105 ° in the above range (100 ° to 110 °). The mounting angle of the peeling blade of 105 ° is the angle that can be cut most when peeling.
