[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a lemon squeezing tool having a function of efficiently squeezing lemon juice from thick lemons cut into a plurality of pieces.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Lemon juice has been widely used as an additive for seasonings such as combined use with vinegar, addition to tea and other drinks and fried foods such as fish meat, and as an additive to improve the flavor of food and drink. There is. When using this lemon juice, when adding it to black tea, it is possible to impart a sufficient flavor by simply floating a thin slice of lemon on the black tea, but it is necessary to squeeze out a certain amount of juice. In this case, squeezing by pressing with fingers is inefficient and wasteful. In this case, for squeezing a large amount of juice at once, various lemon squeezing tools are provided, but those that are served on individual dishes such as when you usually eat at a restaurant etc. are targeted. At that time, it is common for the eater to squeeze out the lemon divided into thick pieces with fingers.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, when squeezing the lemon juice from the thick lemon, it is unsanitary such as stains on the fingers, and if the thickness of the lemon pieces is reduced, the pulp often sticks out when pressed with the fingers, Since the dropping efficiency of lemon juice was low, it was necessary to use lemon pieces of an excessive size. Furthermore, when using thick lemon pieces for side dishes such as bento, too much lemon juice adheres, and other unnecessary things adhere to spoil the flavor of the side food, and there are few partition boards. There are problems with using it in a side dish.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 An object of the present invention is to provide a lens squeezing tool which does not have such a problem and is capable of squeezing hygienically and efficiently. The gist of the present invention consists of a triangular or quadrangular bag-like body formed of an airtight, acid- and water-resistant film sheet with an opening at one end face, and the bag-like body has an opening. The lemon squeezing tool is characterized in that a notch for forming a lemon juice squeezing port is provided at an acute angle portion of an end portion of a bag-shaped body facing each other.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the lemon squeezing tool of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another example of the lemon squeezing tool of the present invention. In these figures, 1 is a bag-like material made of a film sheet having airtightness, acid resistance and water resistance, 2 is an opening portion, 3 is a fusion portion of the film sheet, and 4 is a lemon juice squeezing opening. The formation notch is shown. The air-tight, acid-resistant and water-resistant film sheet 1 constituting the bag-like material is a thermoplastic high molecular substance such as polyethylene or polypropylene which is generally used as a food packaging film or sheet. In addition to these, substances that can be heat-sealed are used as long as there is no problem in food hygiene. In addition, the bag-shaped product of the present invention is required to have acid resistance and water resistance as film properties in order to insert and hold and use a lemon piece, and to be airtight to the extent that moisture in the bag does not leak out. . The bag-shaped film sheet 1 may be made of an opaque film sheet, but a transparent film sheet is preferable because the shape of the lemon inserted in the bag can be easily determined.

The thickness of the bag film sheet 1 is not particularly limited as long as it is about several μm to 200 μm, but in practical use, the bag film sheet 1 has a certain degree of thickness and can maintain a shape as a bag-like material. It is preferable to put a lemon piece in the bag and perform a squeezing operation, because it is easy to apply finger pressure to the lemon piece. Further, the size of the bag-shaped product 1 may be a size that can form a space for storing the divided lemon pieces inside the bag body, and may be appropriately set depending on the purpose of use. As the shape of the bag-shaped object 1, a bag-shaped object such as a triangle or a quadrangle having an acute corner portion is used, and a lemon insertion opening 2 is provided on one side thereof. The opening 2 is used as an insertion port for the lemon, and one side of the bag 1 having a triangular shape or a quadrangular shape may be an opening, or the opening may be partially formed.

The fusion-bonding portion 3 of the bag body 1 is a joint portion when the film sheet is formed into a bag shape. In the case of a triangular shape, the fusion-bonding portions 3 and 3 are two joint portions in FIG. 'Is formed, but it is acceptable to fold the film sheet and form the fusion-bonded portion 3 only at one place. Similarly, in the case of a quadrangular shape, the fusion-bonded portions 3 may be provided at two places.

The lemon juice squeeze mouth forming notch 4 is formed on the opposite surface of the opening 2 of the bag-shaped film sheet 1 when it is cut along the broken line 5 from the portion to form a triangular or quadrangular acute-angled end piece. Is provided at the outer side portion of the fusion-bonding portion 3 at a position where a funnel-shaped lemon juice squeezing opening can be formed in the bottom portion of the bag body 1. The lemon juice squeezing opening forming notch 4 may be provided on either side of the bag-shaped film sheet 1.

When the lemon squeezing device of the present invention and a conventional method were used to squeeze a lemon piece, and when squeezing the 1 / 6-divided lemon attached to the plate in a general restaurant etc. with fingers In this case, about 4 g of fruit juice was obtained, and as the thickness of the lemon pieces was decreased by increasing the division of the lemon pieces, the squeezing ratio decreased, and only 1 g was obtained in 1/12 division. When the proposed squeezing tool was used, a 1 / 6-divided lemon piece yielded 8 g of juice and a 1 / 12-divided lemon piece yielded about 4 g of juice.

[0010]

[Function and effect of device]

 The lemon squeezing device of the present invention is formed of a bag-shaped film sheet having a sharp end, and if lemon is inserted in this bag, it will come into contact with other prepared foods and seasonings until eating. When eating, the lemon juice outlet can be created by operating the notch for forming the lemon juice squeezing opening at the time of eating, and the lemon juice can be added only to the side dish that is needed. As it does not touch the lemon pieces, it does not stain the fingers and is hygienic. Moreover, the lemon pieces can be squeezed efficiently, and even if the size of the lemon pieces is 1/2 or less than that of the conventional lemon pieces, fruit juice equivalent to that of the conventional lemon pieces can be obtained. .
