Description

    The present invention relates to a die cutting device that can cut out sheet-like foods such as dried seaweed, grilled seaweed, thinly sliced ham, kamaboko, and vegetables, and paper such as colored paper, origami, and Chiyogami into various patterns and shapes.

    When making a bento at home, the bento is decorated by placing baked seaweed, etc. cut into various patterns and shapes such as character figures, animals, characters, and messages on the rice. At that time, the conventional method of cutting the grilled seaweed with scissors cannot draft the grilled seaweed, which is an ingredient, and the cut shape is distorted, and it takes time and labor. Further, with scissors, since at least one cut is made to cut one pattern or shape, it is difficult to cut many patterns and shapes closely. Also, because there are a large number of copies of paper with various patterns and shapes used for children's play and educational materials in kindergarten, etc., it takes too much time to cut with scissors or a knife cutter, etc. large. Instead of the above-mentioned means for cutting out sheet-like foods and paper into various patterns with scissors, die-cutting means (Patent Document 1) for sheet-like food “Plate Nori” by die-cutting and punching means for punching decorative holes in paper (patent document 1) Document 2) was proposed, and the above-mentioned problems caused by using scissors were substantially eliminated.

However, the sheet-shaped food material “plate nori” punching die (Patent Document 1) has no lower part. Since it consists only of an upper mold that is pressed from the top of the plate seaweed placed on a soft thing such as rice, it can be used only on a soft thing such as rice or sponge. The paper punching die (Patent Document 2) has a lower die (female die) because it is composed of a combination of a lower die (female die) and an upper die (male die). Then, a specific one-shaped decorative hole is formed in the paper sheet, and in order to form another decorative hole, another punching die corresponding to this is remounted on the punch body. Therefore, in order to punch a large number of decorative holes in one sheet of paper, the paper has to be inserted into a slit of another punching die every time punching is performed, and the positions of the decorative holes on the paper are limited. Moreover, it is difficult to confirm the arrangement of the decoration holes in the slit, and the decoration holes overlap each other, or the paper is wasted due to being too far away.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to remove the restriction required to be used on a soft material such as rice as in Patent Document 1, and to share one sheet common to Patent Documents 1 and 2 When punching a large number of patterns on a sheet of food or a piece of paper, adjust the punching position manually (in the former, move the hand holding the punch, and in the latter, insert the paper into the slit of the punch This eliminates the labor and non-uniformity of the process and makes it possible to easily perform die-cutting with a predetermined waste.

    The die cutting device of the present invention includes a lower mold having a large number of holes of various patterns, a large number of upper molds each having one blade portion that matches the pattern of each hole of the lower mold, and a lower mold The presser has a large number of holes arranged so as to correspond to all of the holes, and a guide part for guiding the upper blade part to the corresponding hole of the lower mold is erected on the edge of the presser hole. Has a basic configuration.

    The upper die blade is inscribed in the matching lower die hole to cut the material into the lower die hole pattern. The presser foot holds the material to be punched on the lower die when the upper die blade is inscribed in the lower die hole, and the upper die blade smoothly fits in the lower die hole. The upper mold is guided so that it can be completely separated from the lower mold when not in use, and the material is made of a transparent material such as plastic.

    When the presser is stacked on the lower mold, all the holes of the presser overlap with all the corresponding holes of the lower mold by the positioning mechanism provided on the lower mold and the presser.

Since the present invention is provided with a large number of holes of various patterns in one lower mold, when a large number of various patterns are punched, only the upper mold of the required pattern is selected and a single material (sheet-like) Easily die-cut from food or paper.
Further, since it has a presser, the lifting and warping of the material is suppressed and brought into close contact with the lower die, and the guide part of the presser accurately guides the blade portion of the upper die into the corresponding hole of the lower die, thereby facilitating the die cutting operation. Since the presser is made of a transparent material such as plastic, it is possible to confirm the position of the material, particularly where the material is placed on the lower mold, and to prevent troublesome die cutting. Further, since the presser can be completely separated from the lower mold, the lower mold and the presser can be easily washed and dried before and after use. In addition, since the lower mold and the presser are provided with an alignment mechanism, the overlap between the presser and the lower mold is accurate, and the upper mold blade guided by the presser fits exactly in the lower mold hole. And perform reliable die cutting.

The form for implementing this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing components of the die cutting device of the present invention slightly apart in the vertical direction. The lower mold A includes a large number of holes 1 of various patterns, and a large number of upper molds B including one blade portion 2 that matches the pattern of each one hole are prepared. The blade portion 2 of the upper die B is inscribed and fitted into the hole 1 of the lower die A that matches the upper die B, and the sheet-like food material or paper, which is the material 7 to be die-cut, is cut into the above pattern. The upper mold B is provided with a handle 8 so that it can be easily operated by a human hand. Since the upper mold B is operated manually, a presser C for accurately guiding the blade portion 2 to the corresponding hole 1 of the lower mold A is prepared. The presser C is provided with a large number of holes 3 having patterns arranged so as to correspond to the patterns of all the holes 1 of the lower mold A. Corresponding holes 1 and 3 are formed on the entire surface of the lower mold A and the entire surface of the presser C corresponding thereto, and the upper mold B also has blade portions 2 respectively corresponding to all the holes of the lower mold A. A number of upper molds B each having one are prepared, but only a part of them is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 9 denotes a receiving tray for the lower mold A and a die-cut piece.

    An alignment mechanism 6 (for example, a concave portion and a convex portion that engage with each other) is provided at several locations (for example, four corners) of the lower mold A and the presser C so that all the holes 3 of the presser C are provided on the lower mold A. It overlaps with all the corresponding holes 1. Then, the presser C can be quickly and accurately stacked on the lower mold.

The overlap between the hole 1 of the lower mold A and the hole 3 of the presser C does not have to coincide with the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A and the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3 of the presser C.
This point will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 shows a case where the hole 3 of the presser C completely coincides with the hole 1 of the lower mold A and the entire area of the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3 coincides with the entire area of the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1. The hole 1 and the hole 3 are completely coincident with each other in the overlap of the left hole and the overlap of the right hole in FIG. In FIG. 4, the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3 of the presser C is only partially coincident with the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A, and the other edge 3 ′ is the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A. It is located outside. Thus, the holes 1 and 3 do not necessarily coincide with each other, and the presser C does not interfere with the lowering of the upper die B unless a part of the edge 3 'of the hole 3 covers the hole 1. As will be described on the next page, in order to exert the function of providing the guide portion 4 to the presser C, the partial areas of the edges 1 ′ and 3 ′ of the holes 1 and 3 need to coincide with each other.

FIG. 2 is a front sectional view typically showing a vertical relationship between the lower mold A, the presser C, and the upper mold B. FIG. In order to simplify the drawing, the upper die B, the presser C and the material 7 are not hatched. As shown in the figure, the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3 of the presser C is aligned with the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A in the vertical direction, and the blade portion 2 of the upper mold B is the edge of the hole 3. It is pushed down along 3 'and the material 7 is cut | disconnected from the hole 1 of the lower mold | type A. FIG. By the way, since the blade portion 2 of the upper die B is guided to the edge 3 'of the hole 3 of the presser C by the guide portion 4 of the presser C, the edge 3' of the hole 3 of the presser C is the edge 1 of the hole 1 of the lower die A. It must coincide with ′ exactly in the vertical direction. Therefore, the guide portion 4 must be erected in an area where the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3 of the presser C coincides with the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A. 3 and FIG. 4, the left side holes overlap with each other in such a manner that the guide portion 4 is erected over the entire area of the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3 of the presser C that coincides with the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A. The overlapping of the holes on the right side shows a case where the guide portion 4 is erected in a partial area of the edge 3 'of the hole 3 of the presser C that coincides with the edge 1' of the hole 1 of the lower mold A.
The guide portion 4 has a warp 5 inclined upward and outward from the edge 3 ′ of the hole 3, thereby guiding the blade portion 2 of the upper mold B to the edge 1 ′ of the hole 1 of the lower mold A.
The overlap of the holes 1 and 3 and the standing area of the guide portion 4 can be selected for each corresponding set of holes 1 and 3, and it is not necessary to adopt any method as the whole die cutting apparatus.
In the case of FIG. 4 shown as an example in which a part of the edges 1 'and 3' of the holes 1 and 3 do not coincide with each other, the shape of the hole 3 of the presser C is a simple rectangle, which is convenient for molding processing or the like. Good.
