Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention [Industrial field of application] This invention is a boiled egg cutter that can cut boiled eggs, etc. on a saucer with a wire, and improves the cutting member to which the wire is stretched. It is related to.

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions] Conventionally, as this type of boiled egg cutter, there is one shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-160195. In this boiled egg cutter, a wire rod is stretched across a cutting member that is rotatably supported on a support part of the base so that it can be laid down toward the base, and a saucer provided on the base. A cutting groove is formed on the receiving bottom surface of the part, into which the cutting member is inserted when the cutting member is pushed down into the receiving tray part and the wire of the cutting member is used to cut a boiled egg or the like on the receiving bottom surface.

However, when cutting a boiled egg with the wire rod, the wire hits the egg at an angle, so a force that pushes the boiled egg in the horizontal direction acts, and this force causes the boiled egg to slide on the bottom surface of the receiver and ride on the periphery of the bottom surface. There was a risk that the cutting member would hit the boiled egg and the wire would not be able to cut the boiled egg. Therefore, among the peripheral edges of the receiving bottom surface, the peripheral edge on the side corresponding to the tip of the cutting member is made higher to prevent boiled eggs from riding on the egg, but the effect of preventing the egg from riding on the egg is weak.

On the other hand, as shown in the same publication, there is another boiled egg cutter in which the cutting member is separated from the base. In this boiled egg cutter, the wire of the cutting member can be pushed down from directly above the bottom surface of the saucer, so the boiled egg is cut at a fixed position without sliding laterally on the bottom surface of the saucer. Although it is possible to cut reliably and neatly, there is a risk of losing the cutting member because the cutting member is separated from the base. On the other hand, with a boiled egg cutter in which the cutting member is rotatably supported on the base, there is no risk of losing the cutting member.

Therefore, by incorporating the advantages of a boiled egg cutter in which the cutting member is rotatably supported relative to the base into a boiled egg cutter in which the cutting member is separated from the base, only the advantages of both boiled egg cutters can be combined. The boiled egg cutter of this invention is an effective use of this technology.

Structure of the invention [Means for solving the problem] As shown in the drawings of the embodiments described later, the invention has the following features:
A wire rod 11 is stretched in a cutting member 3 rotatably supported on a support part 2 of the base 1 so that it can be collapsed toward the base 1, The wire rod 11 of the cutting member 3 is attached to the receiving bottom surface 5.
In a boiled egg cutter having a cutting groove 6 into which the wire rod 11 is inserted when cutting the boiled egg E, etc., the cutting member 3 has a support 8 that is rotatable with respect to the support portion 2 of the base 1. A frame body 10 is further supported to be rotatable in the same direction as the rotation direction A of the support body 8.
and a wire rod 11 stretched within this frame body 10.

[Function] When using the boiled egg cutter constructed as described above, as shown in FIG. I'll put it on. Next, the support 8 of the cutting member 3 is rotated toward the boiled egg E, and when the frame 10 of the cutting member 3 approaches the boiled egg E, the frame 10 is moved to the support as shown in FIG. Rotate it about 8 and make it horizontal just above the boiled egg E. In this state, when the support body 8 is further rotated, the wire rod 1 inside the frame body 10
1 is pushed down almost directly below and abuts on the boiled egg E, and cuts the boiled egg E while being inserted into the cut groove 6 of the receiving bottom surface 5 of the receiving tray part 4.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a cutting member 3 is rotatably supported in the A direction so as to be able to lie down toward the base 1 on a support portion 2 protruding from the upper surface of one side of the base 1. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be polymerized onto the base 1. A saucer section 4 is provided protrudingly on the base 1, and a concave receiver bottom surface 5 is formed on the upper surface of the saucer section 4, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6. A plurality of grooves 6 are formed in parallel at equal intervals on the concave receiving bottom surface 5.

Next, the cutting member 3 will be explained in detail.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cutting member 3 includes a U-shaped support 8 rotatably supported by a shaft 7 with respect to the support portion 2 of the base 1, and both arms 8a of this support 8.
A circular frame body 10 is rotatably supported by a shaft 9 in the same direction as the rotation direction A of the support body 8 between the support bodies 8 and 2. Consisting of a plurality of wire rods 11, the fifth and sixth
As shown in the figure, when the cutting member 3 is superimposed on the base 1, each of the wire rods 11 is inserted into the cut groove 6 of the receiving bottom surface 5 of the receiving tray portion 4. Note that the frame body 10 consists of both clamping members 10a and 10b, and the wire rod 11 is clamped between them.

Now, when using the boiled egg cutter constructed in this way, as shown in FIG.
Place boiled egg E on top. Next, the support 8 of the cutting member 3 is rotated toward the boiled egg E, and when the frame 10 of the cutting member 3 approaches the boiled egg E, the frame 10 is moved to the support as shown in FIG. Rotate it about 8 and make it horizontal just above the boiled egg E. In this state, when the support body 8 is further rotated, each wire rod 11 in the frame body 10 is pushed down almost straight down and comes into contact with the boiled egg E, and is inserted into the cut groove 6 of the receiving bottom surface 5 of the saucer part 4. Cut the boiled egg E.

In particular, in this embodiment, the cutting member 3 is
Since it is rotatably supported on the support part 2 of
Not only is there no risk of the cutting member 3 being separated from the base 1 and being lost, but the frame 10 of the cutting member 3, on which the wire rod 11 is stretched, is further rotatably supported with respect to the support 8. Therefore, with the frame 10 held horizontally just above the boiled egg E, the frame 10 can be pushed down toward the boiled egg E almost directly below. Therefore, the boiled egg E is cut at a fixed position without sliding laterally on the receiving bottom surface 5, and the boiled egg E can be cut reliably and neatly.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, in the boiled egg cutter in which the cutting member 3 is rotatably supported with respect to the base 1, the wire rod tensioning frame 10 is further rotatably supported within the cutting member 3. Therefore, the wire rod 11 of the frame 10 is pushed down almost directly downward toward the boiled egg E on the receiving bottom surface 5, and the boiled egg E is cut at a fixed position without sliding laterally on the receiving bottom surface 5, and the boiled egg is E can be cut reliably and cleanly.
