Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a skewer removal aid suitable for use when skewered food (such as dumplings, yakitori, skewers, etc.) is eaten off the skewer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to eat skewered food (such as skewered dumplings), it is common to pick and hold the rear end of the skewer with a finger and put it in the mouth near the tip of the skewer and start eating.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, when eating the above-mentioned skewered dumplings, it becomes difficult to eat as the number of dumplings decreases. That is, since the first dumpling is near the tip of the skewer, the tip of the skewer is put into the mouth together with the dumpling, the skewer can be pulled out, and the dumpling can be easily eaten.

However, when eating the second and subsequent dumplings, they are far from the tip of the skewer, so it is difficult to put the tip of the skewer in the mouth and eat it like eating a dumpling. In other words, if the fork is forcibly inserted into the mouth to try to eat dumplings, the tip of the skewer enters deep inside the mouth, and there is a risk that the throat may be thrust.

[0005] For this reason, the skewers are held substantially horizontally, and in this state, dumplings are inserted into the mouth from the side and the skewers are pulled out and eaten. In such a manner of eating, the dumplings are placed around the mouth. The mouth is easy to get dirty with. At this time, if the mouth is wide open horizontally, it can prevent the mouth from becoming dirty, but it can be said that it is unpleasant to look at and is an unacceptable way of eating for women.

[0006] The above problem occurs not only in dumplings but also when eating skewered grilled chicken or cutlet.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a skewer aid that is useful for eating food such as skewered dumplings without difficulty and safely.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention according to claim 1 has a notch formed so as to insert a skewer penetrating a plurality of foods, and a contact surface capable of making surface contact with a peripheral portion of the skewered food, and the skewer is inserted into the notch. It comprises a pressing portion capable of pressing and moving food on the contact surface when it is moved in the direction of the skewer axis in a skewed state, and a picking portion provided integrally with the pressing portion and formed so as to be pickable.

In the present invention, for example, after eating the first dumpling of the skewered dumpling and then eating the second and subsequent dumplings, first, the hand holding the knob is moved as appropriate to move the pressing section to the second section. Insert between the dumpling and the third dumpling and insert the skewer into the notch.

Next, in this state, the pressing portion is moved in the axial direction of the skewer toward the tip of the skewer. Then, the contact surface of the pressing portion presses the peripheral portion of the second skewer to move the skewer toward the tip of the skewer. At this time, since the pressing portion is moved while the notch is in sliding contact with the skewer, the dumpling can be stably pressed and moved on the contact surface.

[0011] Thus, the second dumpling can be easily moved to the skewer tip. Therefore, it is possible to put the tip of the skewer in the mouth and eat it like eating a dumpling, and there is no danger of the mouth becoming dirty or the throat piercing the tip of the skewer.

A second aspect of the present invention is a skewer assisting tool in which a vertical section of the pressing portion has a wedge shape.

[0013] In the present invention, for example, the pressing portion can be more quickly and easily inserted between the second dumpling and the third dumpling. Therefore, in addition to having the same action and effect as the invention of the first aspect, the food can be more easily and quickly moved to the tip of the skewer and eaten.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the skewer assisting device 10 according to the present invention includes a pressing portion 11 having a notch 12 and a contact surface 13 formed thereon, and a knob portion 15. The skewered food (eg, skewered dumplings) is pressed by the contact surface 13 to be movable to the skewer tip 21a.

More specifically, the skewer assisting device 10 is a thin wooden plate having a uniform thickness. Note that the skewer assisting tool 10 may be formed of a material other than wood (for example, a synthetic resin).

Next, the pressing portion 11 includes a notch 12 formed so that a skewer 21 penetrating a plurality of foods (for example, dumplings (22a to 22d)) can be inserted from a lateral direction, and a food (22c or the like). ) And a contact surface 13 formed so as to make surface contact with the skewer peripheral portion 23), and when the skewer 21 is inserted into the notch 12 and moves in the skewer axial direction, the contact surface 13 The food (22c or the like) is formed so as to be able to press and move.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the notch 12 is formed such that the opening width increases as approaching the tip 11 a of the pressing portion 11. Thereby, the skewer 21 can be more easily inserted into the notch 12. Further, the leading end 11a of the pressing portion 11 is formed in an acute angle so that food (22c or the like) can be stabbed and carried to the mouth.

The knob 15 is provided integrally with the pressing portion 11 and is formed so as to be able to be picked by a finger of the hand.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, in order to eat the first dumpling 22a of the skewered dumpling 20 and then eat the second dumpling 22b, the picker 15 of the skewer assistant 10 is picked. With appropriate movement of the hand, the pressing portion 11 is inserted between the second and third dumplings 22b and 22c, and the skewer 21 is inserted into the notch 12, as shown in FIG. . In FIGS. 3A to 3C, the skewered dumpling 20 is held so that the skewer 21 is horizontal. However, the holding posture is not limited to this. It may be held so that

Next, in this state, the pressing portion 11 is moved in the axial direction of the skewer toward the skewer tip 21a as shown in FIG. 3 (C). Then, the contact surface 13 of the pressing portion 11 presses the skewering peripheral portion 23 of the second cluster 22b to move it toward the skewer tip 21a. At this time, the pressing portion 11 is moved while the notch 12 is in sliding contact with the skewer 21, so that the dumpling 22 b can be stably pressed and moved on the contact surface 13.

Thus, the second dumpling 22b can be easily moved to the skewer tip 21a. Therefore, it is possible to easily eat such as eating the dumpling 22b by putting the skewer tip 21a into the mouth, and there is no danger of the mouth becoming dirty or the throat being pierced by the skewer tip 21a.

The dumpling (22b or the like) may be moved by pressing with the pressing portion 11 to remove it from the skewer 21 and pierced at the tip 11a of the pressing portion 11 to carry it to the mouth.

In the above-described embodiment, the pressing portion 11 of the skewer assisting tool 10 has a uniform thickness. However, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the pressing portion 11 may have a wedge-shaped vertical section. With this configuration, for example, the pressing portion 11 can be inserted more quickly and easily between the second dumpling 22b and the third dumpling 22c. As a result, the dumpling (22b) can be more easily and quickly moved to the skewer tip 21a for eating.

In the above embodiment, the skewered dumpling is selected as the skewered food. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a grilled chicken or a skewered cutlet may be selected.
