DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Embodiments for carrying out the invention will be described below. A cookie cutter 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1A-1C, comprises a contoured portion 2 for cutting a cookie dough CD into a predetermined shape.

The contoured portion 2 is cylindrical, and although the specific shape is not particularly limited, it can be, for example, cylindrical (see FIGS. 1A to 1C).

The bottom surface 2a of the contoured portion 2 forms a first convex curve from an end 2aa on one side that can first be pressed against the cookie dough CD in a side view to an end 2ab on the other side that can be finally separated from the cookie dough CD. (see FIG. 1A). The shape of the bottom surface 2a appearing in FIG. 1A and the shape of the bottom surface 2a appearing in FIG. 1C are the same. Each portion of the bottom surface 2a of the contoured portion 2 can be rounded from the outside toward the inside (from the outside toward the central portion of the cylindrical shape).

In order to move the cookie cutter 1 naturally by hand, the bottom surface 2a preferably has a constant curvature of the first convex curve from the end 2aa on one side to the end 2ab on the other side.

Moreover, the cookie cutter 1 can be provided with a mark 2ba such as a protrusion or a groove that indicates one end 2aa of the bottom surface 2a on the side surface 2b of the outline portion 2. As shown in FIG. Then, it becomes easy to understand where to press the cookie dough CD first and in which direction to rotate it. Note that the mark 2ba can be omitted if not necessary. Also, the side opposite to the bottom surface 2a (that is, the upper end side) preferably has a shape that can be easily pushed by a human hand (for example, a shape that bulges outward as shown in the drawing). Although the material of the outline portion 2 is not particularly limited, for example, a plastic material, a metal material, or the like can be used.

As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, such a cookie mold 1 first presses one end 2aa of the bottom surface 2a against the cookie dough CD, and rotates the cookie mold 1 while keeping the bottom surface 2a pressed. can be changed to the other end 2ab, and finally the other end 2ab can be separated from the cookie dough CD. In addition, in FIGS. 2A to 2C, the cookie dough CD is colored gray for easy understanding.

Then, the cookie dough CD can be cut into a predetermined shape. Also, since the portion of the cookie mold 1 in contact with the cookie dough CD needs only a small area, when the cookie mold 1 is rotated while being pressed against the cookie dough CD, the shape of the cookie dough CD is not disturbed, and the cookie dough CD is successively cut out from the cookie dough CD. It becomes easy to come off.

Next, another cookie cutter 1' according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the cookie cutter 1' has an outline portion 2 similar to the cookie cutter 1, and further includes a pattern portion 3 for patterning the upper surface of the cookie dough CD.

The pattern portion 3 is provided inside the outline portion 2 . In addition, the bottom surface 3a of the pattern portion 3 forms a second convex curve (more specifically, part or all of it) from one end 3aa to the other end 3ab in a side view (Fig. 3C). A side view here means a side view when the side of the cookie cutter 1 ′ is seen through the outline portion 2 . Also, the bottom surface 3a of the pattern portion 3 is located above the bottom surface 2a of the contour portion 2 so that the pattern can be applied to the top surface of the cookie dough CD when it faces the cookie dough CD. In addition, in FIG. 3C, the portion where the bottom surface 3a is interrupted in the second convex curve is indicated by a broken line.

In order to make the pattern depth uniform, the pattern portion 3 preferably has a constant curvature of the second convex curve from one end portion 3aa to the other end portion 3ab.

The pattern portion 3 has a shape corresponding to the pattern to be applied to the upper surface of the cookie dough CD (for example, in FIGS. 3A to 3C, a shape provided with both eye portions 31, 31, a nose portion 32, and a mouth portion 33). is. The pattern portion 3 also has a fixing portion 34 for fixing to the contour portion 2 away from the bottom surface 3a. The pattern portion 3 can be fixed by being integrally formed with the contour portion 2 or can be fixed to the contour portion 2 with screws or the like. Although the material of the pattern portion 3 is not particularly limited, for example, a plastic material, a metal material, or the like can be used.

Such a cookie mold 1' can cut the cookie dough CD into a predetermined shape by rotating the cookie mold 1' in the same manner as shown in FIGS. In addition, the bottom surface 3a of the pattern portion 3 can form a pattern on the top surface of the cookie dough CD.

Since the portion of the bottom surface 3a of the pattern portion 3 of the cookie mold 1' that is in contact with the cookie dough CD has a small area, the cookie mold 1' is rotated while being pressed against the cookie dough CD. It becomes easy to remove from the cookie dough CD without losing its shape.

Next, still another cookie cutter 1'' according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the cookie mold 1'' includes an outline portion 2 similar to the cookie mold 1, and further includes an operation portion 4 for a person to move the cookie mold 1''. there is

The operating portion 4 is provided inside the contour portion 2 . The operation unit 4 has a grip portion 41 for a person to grip. The operating part 4 also has a fixing part 42 for fixing to the contoured part 2 . The fixed portion 42 is fixed to the contoured portion 2 at a position away from the bottom surface 2a of the contoured portion 2 . The fixed part 42 can be fixed by being integrally formed with the contour 2 or can be fixed to the contour 2 by means of screws or the like.

The gripping portion 41 and the fixing portion 42 may be made of separate members (for example, the gripping portion 41 is made of wood, and the fixing portion 42 is made of plastic or metal), and the screw portion 4a or the like is provided to fasten them. It can also be integrally formed.

Such a cookie mold 1'' can be obtained by rotating the cookie mold'' to cut the cookie dough CD into a predetermined shape in the same manner as shown in FIGS. Also, the possibility of a person's hand accidentally touching the cookie dough CD during rotation can be greatly reduced.

The cookie cutter 1'' can of course be provided with the pattern portion 3 in the same manner as the cookie cutter 1'. In this case, the fastening portion 34 for fastening to the profile 2 can be common with the fastening portion 42 .
