Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a mold for injecting raw materials before solidification in order to mold foods such as kamaboko, konjac, and tofu into unusual shapes such as gourd, matsutake mushrooms, ginkgo leaves, and shrimp.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, the kamaboko is formed into a half-moon shape in cross section for mass production, or is cast into a plastic tube to be formed into a cylindrical shape or a prismatic shape, except for expensive crafts requiring skill. Similar to konjac and tofu, except for those manufactured by the conventional method, mass-produced products are formed into a cylindrical shape by injecting raw materials into a plastic tube.

By the way, due to changes in eating habits, the amount of kamaboko, which is an excellent food containing a lot of protein of fish, is small for children to eat. Therefore, it is necessary to make changes to the conventional and ordinary forms so as to incite the child's appetite or curiosity. On the other hand, mass production must be possible in order to manufacture at low cost.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved by this invention is to enable mass production of solidified foods such as kamaboko into products in an unusual form that will appeal to children.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The feature of the mold for food of this invention is that it has a hinge that can be opened to the left and right, and when joined, it has a cylindrical body that has a predetermined cross section, and a stopper that prevents it from being opened at the joint. It consists of

Another mold is characterized in that it comprises two semi-cylindrical main bodies whose cross-sections are formed into a predetermined shape when joined, and stoppers that join and fix the two main bodies. .

Still another mold is characterized in that a tube of a plastic sheet is molded so that a cut surface is formed into a predetermined shape when a food is contained therein.

[0008]

[Embodiment of device]

 The molding die is preferably made of flexible hard plastic. When it is used for kamaboko molding, it is necessary to heat it until the center of the sled to be housed reaches 80 ° or more. It must be able to withstand the required temperature.

The shape of the cross section of the molded and solidified food is, in particular, the gourd, matsutake mushroom, ginkgo leaf, petal, bamboo shoot, umebachi, shrimp, sea bream, etc., which are appetizing for children, or curiosity. A turtle, a rabbit, a person's face, a doll, etc. can be used. However, if the shape is too complicated, it may be difficult to remove the product after solidification.

In order to easily take out the solidified product, the main body having a tubular cross section is provided with a hinge for opening it to the left and right and a stopper for preventing it from opening. The hinge should easily be grooved from the outside of the body. As an example of the stopper, the joint is projected from the main body, and a gutter-shaped stopper is removably fitted therein. Alternatively, one of the joints bent outward may be bent into a hook so that the other joint can be unlocked.

If the raw material food is relatively poor in fluidity such as surimi, it is not necessary to attach a lid to both ends of the main body, but it is preferable to attach a removable lid to at least one end. Yes. However, when the raw material before solidification has a high fluidity, such as tofu and konjac, it is necessary to attach a lid to at least one end.

The main body may be divided into two parts, and stoppers for preventing opening may be detachably attached to the upper and lower joints. It is also possible to form the main body into a tube shape with a soft plastic sheet. In this case, it can be put on the market as it is, and the whole body is cut to an appropriate thickness when used. .

[0013]

Example 1 FIGS. 1 and 2 show a forming die A for obtaining a gourd-shaped kamaboko by cutting it into an appropriate thickness. Reference numeral 1 is a tubular main body that can be opened to the left and right, and is made of a flexible hard plastic. The bottom portion is made slightly thicker than the other portions, and a hinge 2 is provided by forming a groove. When the main body 1 is thicker than that shown in FIG. 1, the hinge 2 is recessed, so that it is not necessary to make the bottom thicker than the other portions.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a joint portion of the main body 1. The main body 1 is joined at the center of the upward projecting portion which becomes the handle of the gourd, and the U-shaped opening stopper which opens downward to this projecting portion. Stopper 4 for use is detachably fitted.

Reference numerals 5a and 5b denote a pair of lids, each of which is formed in such a size that it can be detachably fitted into an end portion of the main body 1 to which the stopper 4 is attached. In order to commercialize the product, for example, one lid 5a is fitted into one end of the main body 1, the slide body is housed in the main body 1, and the other lid 5b is fitted into the other end, To heat. The materials of the stopper 4 and the lids 5a and 5b are the same as those of the main body 1.

FIG. 3 shows a fish mackerel W that has been heated to become a product. Cut the product to an appropriate thickness before use.

[0017]

Example 2 FIG. 4 shows an example of a molding die B for forming a product in the shape of a lollipop. Reference numeral 11 is a main body made of the same material as the main body 1 of the first embodiment, and 12 is a hinge. The stopper 14 is formed by bending both the joints 13a and 13b upward and further bending one joint 13a into a hook shape. Although not shown, when accommodating the raw material, a lid may be attached to at least one end of the main body 11.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 By using the molding die of the present invention, it is possible to easily form kamaboko, konjac, tofu and the like having a shape different from the conventional ones, and mass production becomes possible. Further, since it can be easily manufactured by plastic molding, a molding die can be provided at low cost.

Since the main body opens to the left and right, the inside of the mold can be easily washed and sanitary, and can be used repeatedly.
