And a belt-like cutting blade 4.
In addition, since the structure of the cylinder 1 and the piston is not different from the conventional one, the extrusion hole and the piston of the cylinder 1 are omitted in the drawing.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the support plate 2 is a substantially rectangular plate having a width and length larger than the diameter of the cylinder 1, and the lower end portion of the cylinder 1 is fitted in the center portion of the support plate 2. A mating circular fitting hole 5 is formed.
Further, a slit 6 is formed from one of the fitting holes 5 to the periphery of the support plate 2, and one end portion of the support plate 2 is separated by the slit 6.
A square hole 7 is connected to the other side of the fitting hole 5, so that both sides of the support plate 2 sandwiching the fitting hole 5 and the slit 6 can be opened and closed relatively freely and can be approached and separated. ing.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, protrusions 8 that are parallel to each other are formed on both sides of the lower surface of the support plate 2, and guide grooves 9 that guide the slide plate 3 are formed on the inner surface of the protrusions 8. They are formed to face each other.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 6, on the upper surface of the support plate 2, the width of the slit 6 is reduced or enlarged to adjust the circumferential length of the fitting hole 5, thereby tightening the cylinder 1. A cylinder fixing device 10 to be released is installed across the slit 6.
The cylinder fixing device 10 is attached to a rotation operation unit 11 that can be tilted up and down on one side with respect to the slit 6, and can be rotated on the other side with respect to the slit 6. And an annular member 12 engaged with the portion.
Then, when the rotating operation unit 11 is erected, the portion engaged with the annular member 12 approaches the other side of the slit 6, the annular member 12 moves away from one side of the slit 6, and the width of the slit 6 increases. The peripheral length of the fitting hole 5 becomes longer. On the other hand, when the rotation operation unit 11 is tilted, the annular member 12 is drawn toward one side of the slit 6, the width of the slit 6 is narrowed, and the circumferential length of the fitting hole 5 is shortened.

The slide plate 3 is made of a plate body that is longer and slightly narrower than the support plate 2, and both side portions thereof are engaged with the guide grooves 9 and reciprocally slide across the vicinity of the vicinity of the extrusion hole of the cylinder 1. ing.
As shown in FIG. 7, a strip-shaped cutting blade 4 is provided in the middle portion of the slide plate 3 so as to intersect the sliding direction, and the first window hole 14 and the second window are formed on both sides of the cutting blade 4. Window hole 15 is formed.

Further, the first window hole 14 and the second window hole 15 have an area including all the extrusion holes of the cylinder 1.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear end portion of the slide plate 3 protruding from the support plate 2 is bent so as to be inclined downward and outward, and a handle 16 is mounted on the upper surface thereof.
In addition, a long hole 17 is formed in the side portion of the slide plate 3 along the sliding direction, and the support plate 2 is provided with a stopper shaft 18 slidably engaged with the long hole 17 (FIG. 7).
Note that a spacer 19 is provided on the lower surface of the support plate 2 to abut against the upper surface of the slide plate 3 and suppress shakiness in the thickness direction (FIG. 3).

In order to extrude noodles with this noodle making machine, first, the cylinder fixing device 10 is operated to increase the circumference of the fitting hole 5, and the lower end of the cylinder 1 is fitted into the fitting hole 5. After that, the cylinder fixing device 10 is operated to shorten the circumference of the fitting hole 5, and the cylinder 1 is fastened and fixed.
Further, the first window hole 14 of the slide plate 3 is made to coincide with the lower end surface of the cylinder 1 so that the slide plate 3 does not block the lower side of the push hole.
In this state, a predetermined amount of kneaded noodle dough is introduced from the upper end of the cylinder 1, the piston is inserted into the cylinder 1 and lowered, and the elongated noodles are pushed out through the extrusion hole.

Next, the handle 16 is grasped and the slide plate 3 is slid (moved forward) toward one end of the support plate 2 to align the second window hole 15 with the lower end surface of the cylinder 1 (FIG. 8). At this time, the stopper shaft 18 comes into contact with the rear end portion of the long hole 17 and the slide plate 3 stops.
When the slide plate 3 is moved forward, the cutting blade 4 traverses just below the extrusion hole, so that the noodles whose one side edge is pushed out are cut. Since the cutting blade 4 is slightly inclined with respect to the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, the same effect as that obtained by cutting the knife while sliding the knife is obtained, and the cut surface of the noodles is not crushed. Finished beautifully.

Next, the same amount of kneaded noodle dough is put into the cylinder 1 and the piston is lowered to extrude the noodles.
Thereafter, the slide plate 3 is slid (returned) to the other end side of the support plate 2, and the first window hole 14 and the lower end surface of the cylinder 1 are again aligned (FIG. 7). Also at this time, the stopper shaft 18 comes into contact with the front end portion of the long hole 17 and the slide plate 3 stops.
When the slide plate 3 is moved backward, the cutting blade 4 crosses the vicinity of the extrusion hole in the reverse direction in the reverse direction, and the noodles that have been pushed out from the other side edge are cut.

By repeating this, it is possible to easily produce noodles with uniform cut lengths and beautiful cut ends.
When the noodle making is completed, the cylinder fixing device 10 is operated to widen the circumference of the fitting hole 5, the cylinder 1 is released, and can be removed for cleaning or the like.
