JPH054193A - Die-spot tofu (bean-curd) cutter - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To cut a piece of tofu into smaller pieces of neat die-spot size with only two operations simply and with no use of any kitchen knife and with safety. CONSTITUTION:A rectangular box 1 is prepared using a plastics plate or an acrylic plate. Row cutting blades 4 and column cutting blades 5 are formed using extremely thin stainless steel wires 8 as the cutting blades, with a stainless somewhat thicker wire being formed into a frame. Both are bonded using pipes 2, 3 as hinges, and initially the tofu is laterally cut by the row cutting blades 4 and then is cut by the column cutting blades 5 in such a manner as to cross the initial cutting lines, to thereby cut the tofu into die-spot size pieces.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

This invention uses a plastic or acrylic plate to make a rectangular box that can hold one tofu, and uses a stainless steel wire that does not rust and a fine wire to prevent horizontal cutting and vertical cutting. Make two blades, make a frame for a large wire, and stretch the fine wire to the frame to make a blade.
The intervals are set so that the vertical cuts will have an appropriate size, and extra fine wire is stretched to a cross in this cross. These two blades are a tool that can cut clean tofu in a simple rhinoceros cut easily and safely with just two operations by attaching a plastic pipe to the hinge on the box (main body) and adhering it to the hinge. Of course, do not use kitchen knives at all. The present invention was created as a result of striving to realize the dream of a concept that has been warmed up as a housewife for a long time. To explain this, (a) Make a rectangular box (1) using a plastic plate. (B) In the shape of (1), the two sides on the left side and the other side are slightly higher than the height of the tofu. (C) The front side and the right side of (1) do not need a frame part. The same as (d) (1), the top part is not needed. (E) The bottom part (11) is slightly raised only where tofu is placed. (F) Insert the groove of (6) in a cross shape in the raised flat part of (11). This will cut the tofu to the bottom. (G) It was made higher than the place to put tofu in (11) (7)
Make (10), (12) and (13) around. With this, the tofu doesn't move when you cut it. Insert the same groove as (6). (H) Make a frame of the horizontal cutting blade of (4) and the vertical cutting blade of (5) with a large wire of stainless steel. (I) Insert (2) when making a frame on the horizontal cutting blade of (4). (N) Place a stainless steel fine wire (8) (the part that becomes the blade) on the horizontal cutting blade of (4) at the same interval. (L) A stainless steel wire (8) is stretched in a cross shape on the frame of the vertical cutting blade of (5). However, at the place where the vertical and horizontal wires intersect, pass the bottom first, then the top, and repeat this. (E) Attach (4) to (2) of (1). (W) Attach (3) to (1). (5) Attach (5) to (3). With this, the structure of the main body is completed.

[Example] Place the main body on a stable flat surface such as a bowl, and move the horizontal cutting blade, which was stopped by the left horizontal cutting blade stopper, to the front side. Next, lift the vertical cutting blade and stand it up to the handgrip side. Place the tofu in the center of the bottom, and first pull the horizontal cutting blade from the other side to the front. Next, cut the vertical cutting blade that was standing on the left side down all at once. This completes the beautiful rhino's tofu.

[Effect of the invention] Tofu is definitely something that we want to put in the ingredients such as "Miso soup" that are indispensable for daily dining. However, it is unexpectedly difficult to dice this tofu into dice, and it is dangerous and difficult for even a skilled person to dice the tofu with a kitchen knife while turning the tofu on the palm. In addition, most housewives can't use kitchen knives in a satisfactory way, and they don't even have one in the kitchen. The present invention solves what I had been thinking as a housewife every day in the kitchen every day for a long time by a simple method, and is a safe and clean tool for cutting tofu rhinoceros, which is very effective. Effect 1. It is safe because it does not use a knife. Effect 2. Easy to operate. Put the tofu on the equipment and cut the tofu with beautiful rhinoceros eyes in two operations. Effect 3. Anyone from adults to children can use it. Effect 4. You can cut tofu that is clean and well-shaped. Effect 5. It can be used in a wide range of hotels, inns, restaurants, etc. that are used by a large number of ordinary households, increasing work efficiency. Effect 5. Combined with ease of use, tofu can be popularized as a healthy food. Effect 6. Any size of tofu with less than one tofu can be diced.
