Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Problem] To improve the ease of tearing seaweed that has decreased due to recent changes in the manufacturing method, and at the same time reduce the effect of uneven tear strength, which is unavoidable from the seaweed manufacturing method, and add designability. To do. SOLUTION: The entire surface of the seaweed is cut in a size and shape so that the rice grains do not stick out, or perforations are formed in a regular arrangement so that the shortest distances between the uncut portions are almost equal.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention is concerned with improving the easiness of tearing the seaweed used for wrapping and eating rice.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there is no known device for improving the tearability of seaweed by performing some processing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventionally, since seaweed was dried on the sun, small pieces of seaweed were loosely adhered to each other and were torn with a weak force, so there was no problem in cutting the cooked rice with the seaweed.

In recent years, since the drying process of seaweed has come to be performed by blowing hot air or the like, the pieces of seaweed are tightly adhered to each other and the tear strength is increased.

Further, when the rice is wrapped and slightly moistened by the water content of the rice, the adhesion between the pieces of seaweed is further strengthened, which makes it difficult to cut them off.

[0006] In addition, when lavering the seaweed, since the laminating of the seaweed pieces is somewhat uneven, the tear strength may be uneven, and the seaweed may not always be eaten at an arbitrary place.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems of seaweed in recent years, and its purpose is to improve the ease of eating when the rice is rolled into seaweed, etc. It is to provide a means to reduce the effects of adjustment and unevenness.

As a secondary effect of the present invention, a design property is added to seaweed as a packaging material that has not been designed conventionally.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, cuts or perforations are made on the entire surface of the seaweed in the form described in the following paragraphs.

[0010]

[Embodiment of device]

 Fig. 1 shows an example in which the length and arrangement of the cuts are set so that the shortest length of the uncut part is uniform at all points, and the whole seaweed is applied.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which cuts are made in different arrangements with the same consideration.

The size of the cuts and holes is for the purpose of wrapping the cooked rice, and therefore the size and the shape of the rice grains are set as a condition.

The notches and perforations can be arbitrarily set in shape and arrangement as long as the above conditions are satisfied in addition to the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2.

The arrangement and the length of the uncut portion can be set in consideration of the difference between the tear strength before processing and the strength to be set.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 The cuts and perforations are adjusted to an appropriate size so that they do not impair the function of the rice packaging material.

As compared with the seaweed before processing, the length required for breakage is shortened due to the notches or perforations, and the ease of tearing is improved by improving the ease of tearing and the ease of eating is improved.

Further, in each case, an uncut portion of uniform length is left, and as a result of cutting or perforating all over the seaweed, unevenness in tear strength before processing is reduced and almost evenness is obtained. The tear strength of is obtained.

Furthermore, the rice that has been wrapped in is peeped from the perforations or the notches that have been spread out, and the regular white pattern of the cooked rice forms on the dark green ground of the seaweed.

With this pattern, it is possible to give a design property to the seaweed which was conventionally plain.
