FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a state where the cut fruit is fixed to the first fruit pick, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a state where the cut fruit is fixed to the second fruit pick.
For the cut fruit that is relatively slippery with respect to the pick, the first fruit pick 30 or the second fruit pick 40 in which the male screw portions 33 and 44 are formed is preferably used. Examples of the cut fruit that is relatively slippery with respect to the pick include a fruit that does not have a relatively thick skin, a fruit that has a relatively low density, and a fruit that contains a relatively large amount of moisture. Specific examples include grapes, strawberries, kumquats and kiwi. Since these skins are relatively thin, the first fruit pick or the second fruit pick in which the male thread portions 33 and 44 are formed is preferably used regardless of whether or not the peeling process is performed. Examples of the cut fruit that is relatively slippery with respect to the pick include pineapple, melon, and watermelon that have been peeled and adjusted to a predetermined shape. FIG. 7 shows a pineapple peeled as a relatively slippery cut fruit P, and FIG. 8 shows a grape as a relatively slippery cut fruit G. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first fruit pick 30 having a relatively long male thread portion 33 is used for the relatively large cut fruits P and K, and the male screw portion 43 is used for the relatively small cut fruit G. A relatively short second fruit pick 40 is used. When a plurality of cut fruit G are relatively arranged, a relatively long first fruit pick 30 is used.

  When fixing the cut fruits G, K, P to the fruit picks 30, 40 having the male screw portions 33, 43, the one ends of the main bodies 32, 42 are brought into contact with the cut fruits G, K, P, and the male screws The main bodies 32 and 42 are rotated in the tightening direction of the portions 33 and 43. Thereby, the male screw portions 33 and 43 can be screwed into the cut fruits G, K, and P, and the cut fruits G, K, and P can be fixed to one end sides of the main bodies 32 and 42. At this time, the fruits of the cut fruits G, K, and P are not damaged. In the present embodiment, the diameter-reduced portions 35 and 45 for the fruit are formed at the ends on one end side of the main bodies 32 and 42, so that the one end side of the main bodies 32 and 42 is smoothly inside the cut fruits G, K and P Can be introduced. In the present embodiment, the cut fruits G, K, and P are positioned by bringing the surfaces of the cut fruits G, K, and P into contact with the flange portions 34 and 44. As described above, the cut fruit assortment product 100 of the present embodiment undergoes the process of rotating the main bodies 32 and 42 of the fruit picks 30 and 40 and screwing the male screw portions 33 and 43 into the cut fruits G, K, and P. Manufactured.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the cut fruit fixed to the first fruit pick. FIG. 9 shows kiwi as cut fruit K that is relatively slippery.
As shown in FIG. 9, since the male screw portions 33 and 43 bite into the cut fruits G, K, and P, the contact area between the fruit picks 30 and 40 and the cut fruits G, K, and P is large. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the male screw portions 33 and 43 are formed up to the flange portions 34 and 44 that come into contact with the surfaces of the cut fruits G, K, and P, the male screw portion 33 that is screwed into the cut fruits G, K, and P. , 43 are relatively long and the contact area is larger. Thus, since the cut fruits G, K, and P are fixed in a state of being screwed into the male screw portions 33 and 43, the axial directions of the main bodies 32 and 42 of the cut fruits G, K, and P are secured by the male screw portions 33 and 43. Movement to is regulated. Accordingly, when a load such as vibration is applied, the movement of the cut fruits G, K, and P with respect to the fruit picks 30 and 40 can be suppressed.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing a state where the cut fruit is fixed to the third fruit pick, and FIG. 11 is an explanatory view showing a state where the cut fruit is fixed to the fourth fruit pick. For the cut fruit that is relatively difficult to slip with respect to the pick, the third fruit pick 50 or the fourth fruit pick 60 in which the male thread portion is not formed can be used. Of course, it is also possible to use a fruit pick in which the male threaded portions 33 and 44 are formed for cut fruit that is relatively difficult to slip with respect to the pick. Examples of the cut fruit that is relatively hard to slip with respect to the pick include those having a relatively thick skin, those having a relatively high pulp density, and fruits having a relatively low moisture content. Examples of cut fruits that are relatively hard to slip against the pick are apples, bananas, blueberries, and the like. These can use the 3rd fruit pick or the 4th fruit pick in which the external thread part is not formed, even if there is no skin. Examples of the cut fruit with a relatively thick skin include orange with skin, grapefruit with skin, and melon with skin.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the third fruit pick 50 in which the protrusions 53 are formed is used for the cut fruit O having a relatively thick skin. FIG. 10 shows orange as such a cut fruit O. The cut fruit O is fixed to the third fruit pick 50 formed with the protrusions 53 by inserting one end side of the main body 52 into one skin portion of the cut fruit O using the reduced diameter part 55 for the fruit, After passing through one skin part, the main body 52 is inserted into the pulp part of the cut fruit O until it comes into contact with the other skin part.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, for the cut fruit A in which the pulp itself is relatively non-slipable with respect to the pick, a fourth fruit pick 60 in which one end side of the main body 62 is formed in a substantially cross shape is used. . FIG. 11 shows an apple as such a cut fruit A. The cut fruit A is fixed to the fourth fruit pick 60 in which the one end side of the main body 62 is formed in a substantially cross shape by inserting one end into the cut fruit A using the reduced diameter portion 65 for fruit. Here, since the apple is relatively tightened, it is naturally fixed by inserting the main body 62.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing a state in which each fruit pick is fixed to the support portion in the container.
As shown in FIG. 12, each fruit pick 30, 40, 50, 60 having cut fruits A, G, K, O, and P fixed to one end is fixed to the support member 20 disposed in the container 10. The The fruit picks 30, 40, 50, 60 are fixed to the support member 20 by supporting the other ends of the main bodies 32, 42, 52, 62 using the support member reduced-diameter portions 36, 46, 56, 66. This is done by piercing the member 20 and inserting the main bodies 32, 42, 52, 62 into the support member 20 to an arbitrary depth. Thereby, the cut fruits A, G, K, O, and P can be fixed in an arbitrary posture at an arbitrary position above the support member 20.

  The cut fruit assorted product 100 configured as described above is transported using a vehicle such as an automobile when shipped from a factory. At this time, although the assorted cut fruit product 100 is vibrated from the vehicle, the relative axial movement of the cut fruits G, K, and P with respect to the first fruit picks 30, 40 can be suppressed. Thereby, omission of cut fruit G, K, and P at the time of product conveyance can be controlled. In other words, this effect is achieved when the cut fruit assorted product 100 is transported, and at least one of the fruit picks 30, 40, 50, 60 in the cut fruit assorted product 100 is formed with the male screw portions 33, 34. The picks 30 and 40 are used, and the cut fruits G, K, and P fixed to the fruit picks 30 and 40 are screwed into the male screw portions 33 and 34 of the fruit picks 30 and 40. Can do.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the pick for fruits was illustrated as a food pick, if it is a pick in which the external thread part was formed in the one end side, it is applicable also to foods other than a fruit.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the flange part showed the pick for fruits formed in the other end side edge part of the external thread part, the flange part should just be formed in the other end side rather than the external thread part.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although what was formed so that the other end side of each fruit pick might become thin toward a front-end | tip was shown, the shape of the other end side of each fruit pick can be changed arbitrarily. it can. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the other end of each fruit pick is inserted into the support member. However, if the one having the insertion hole formed in advance as the support portion is used, It is not necessary to form the end side so as to become narrower toward the tip.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although what formed the external thread part in the pick for some fruits in the assorted product of cut fruit was shown, you may make it form an external thread part in all the fruit picks. In other words, it is sufficient that the male thread portion is formed on at least one of the fruit picks in the cut fruit assorted product.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although what applied this invention to the assorted product of the cut fruit provided with the container by which a support part is arrange | positioned inside was shown, a support part is not limited to what is arrange | positioned in a container. . That is, an assorted food support structure comprising a plurality of foods, a plurality of food picks to which each food is fixed to one end side, and a support portion that supports the other end side of each food pick.
