Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a tofu cutter for cutting rectangular parallelepiped tofu into dice shapes.

(Prior Art) When cooking tofu, etc., the rectangular parallelepiped tofu is often cut into dice-shaped pieces in order to make them into sizes that are easy to eat. In such cases, in ordinary households,
A rectangular parallelepiped-shaped piece of tofu, etc. is placed on the palm of one hand, a knife is held in the other hand, and the tofu, etc. is cut into dice by moving the knife horizontally and vertically.

However, cutting tofu etc. into dice like this requires a certain technique, and sometimes the tofu cannot be cut properly or the tofu crumbles.
In addition, people who were not used to it could sometimes get their hands injured by the knife.

For this reason, various types of tofu cutters have been devised that allow anyone to easily cut tofu into dice shapes without the risk of damaging one's hands.

For example, a box with a required number of linear gaps formed in parallel on three sides, a required number of linear metals stretched in a lattice on the bottom, and a rotating member with the required number of linear metals stretched in parallel. pivoted to the box body (Utility Model 62-25196)
(No. 3), consisting of a main body with a required number of hard wires stretched in parallel on one side, an inner frame with a required number of hard wires stretched in a vertical and horizontal cross shape on the top surface, and a bottomless drawer (Utility Model No. 62) -130891) etc. are known.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the tofu cutter described in the conventional technology,
It is necessary to insert tofu, etc. into the box, and in order to pass the tofu, etc. through a section where wire metal is stretched in a grid pattern, it is necessary to turn the cutter upside down.
The cutting operation is quite troublesome, and the tofu also tends to crumble.

The present invention was devised in view of the problems of the conventional technology, and its purpose is to create tofu that is easy to cut, does not easily crumble, and is easy to clean with a cutter. The purpose is to provide an equal cutter.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the tofu cutter according to the present invention includes a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, and a bottom wall. The main body has a horizontal cutting member mounting groove formed at the center of the inner surface of the section, vertical cutting member mounting grooves formed at the lower inner surface of the front wall, rear wall and left side wall, and a tofu drop hole formed in the bottom wall. , a transverse cutting member in which a predetermined number of linear members are stretched in parallel at predetermined intervals on both sides of the frame, and a required number of linear members in a lattice shape at predetermined intervals vertically and horizontally in the opening of the plate. This cutter for tofu, etc. consists of a stretched vertical cutting member and a sliding plate, the horizontal cutting member can be installed in the horizontal cutting member mounting groove, and the vertical cutting member and the sliding plate can be installed in the vertical cutting member installation groove.

(Operation) A rectangular parallelepiped-shaped tofu is placed on the right side of the sliding board, the main body is tilted to the left, the tofu is slid to the left on the sliding board by gravity, or is pushed by a splint,
When the tofu is passed through the linear member extension portion of the transverse cutting member, the tofu is transversely cut at predetermined intervals.

Then, the horizontal cutting member and the sliding plate are removed from the main body, the tofu is passed through the linear member extension part of the vertical cutting member, and is dropped from the tofu drop hole in the bottom wall of the main body, and the tofu is vertically separated at predetermined intervals. It is cut and diced.

(Example) Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the tofu cutter 1 includes a main body 2, a horizontal cutting member 3, a vertical cutting member 4, and a sliding plate 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 2 includes a front wall portion 6,
It consists of a back wall 7, a left side wall 8, and a bottom wall 9, and a vertical cutting member mounting groove 10 is formed in the lower inner surface of the front wall 6, back wall 7, and left side wall 8. Further, a transverse cutting member mounting groove 11 is formed at the center of the inner surface of the front wall 6 and the rear wall 7. Furthermore, a tofu drop hole 12 is formed in the bottom wall portion 9.

The transverse cutting member 3 is attached to the frame 1 as shown in FIG.
A predetermined number of linear members 14 are stretched in parallel at predetermined intervals on both side portions 13a, 13a of 3 to form a linear member extending portion 15.

The vertical cutting member 4 is, as shown in FIG.
A required number of linear members 14 are stretched in a lattice shape at predetermined intervals vertically and horizontally in the opening 16a of 6 to form a linear member stretching portion 17.

The sliding plate 5 is a thin plate as shown in FIG.

The wire member 14 may be made of any material as long as it has sufficient strength to cut tofu, but stainless steel wire is particularly suitable.

The tofu cutter 1 is installed in the vertical cutting member mounting groove 10 of the main body 2 by sliding it from the right to the left with the vertical cutting member 4 on the lower side and the sliding plate 5 on the upper side,
The transverse cutting member 3 can be attached and assembled by sliding it from above to below in the transverse cutting member mounting groove 11 of the main body 2.

The tofu cutter 1 is used as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, a rectangular parallelepiped shaped tofu is placed on the right side of the sliding plate 5. Since the tofu is not inserted into the box, it can be easily placed on the sliding plate 5, and the shape of the tofu will not be distorted.

Next, by tilting the main body 2 to the left and sliding the tofu to the left on the sliding plate 5 and passing the linear member tensioning part 15 of the transverse cutting member 3, as shown in FIG. The tofu is cut crosswise at predetermined intervals.

Next, slide the transverse cutting member 3 upward to remove the main body 2.
Pull it out further or without pulling it out, slide plate 5.
Slide it to the right and pull it out from the main body 2, let the tofu pass through the linear member extension part 17 of the vertical cutting member 4, and drop it from the tofu drop hole 12 in the bottom wall part 9 of the main body 2. As shown in Figure 8, the tofu is cut vertically at predetermined intervals, and is ultimately cut into dice.

(Effects of the invention) The tofu cutter of the invention is constructed as described above and has the following effects.

Tofu, etc. is placed on a sliding board, slid, cut horizontally, and then the sliding board is removed and cut vertically into dice shapes, so the tofu cutting machine is extremely easy to operate, and anyone can do it easily. You can cut tofu, etc. into dice.

Also, instead of inserting tofu etc. into the box,
Since the tofu is placed on a sliding board, the shape of the tofu is not distorted.

Furthermore, the tofu cutter includes a main body, a horizontal cutting member,
Since it can be easily disassembled into a vertical cutting member and a sliding plate, it is convenient for cleaning.
