Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cutting device for cooking,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a cooking cutter for cutting processed food such as tofu, konjac, omelet, and tokoroten into slices, cubes, rectangular parallelepipeds, rhombic cross-sections, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cooking at home, processed foods such as tofu, konjac, omelet or tokoroten are often sliced or cut into cubes (rhinoceros) or rectangular parallelepipeds. In order to cut out food in such a shape, a kitchen knife, a pressing die, or a protruding tool is usually used for a toro-ten, and a convenient tool has been conventionally proposed.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-25196, 180 linear metal pieces are attached to a box cylinder provided with gaps on three side surfaces of the box cylinder and attached to the bottom so as to stretch the linear metal in a grid pattern.
A "cubic cutter for tofu and food" is described, which is intended to be attached so as to be rotated laterally more than once.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-4298, there is a tofu guide member in which a vertical guide that vertically slides a vertical slide piece and a horizontal guide that horizontally slides a horizontal guide piece are orthogonal to each other. The slice cutter is arranged in front of the case for processing, and the guide slits are provided in the vertical direction according to the number of cutting blades of the built-in vertically slidable slice cutter on the front wall of the case. In addition to being integrally connected to the vertical slide piece, a tofu pressing plate that is slidable left and right is provided on the other side of the die cutter formed on one side of the tofu processing case and is connected to the horizontal slide piece. A hand-molding machine for rhinoceros tofu is described.

[0005]

However, the conventional ones are not preferable because they have the following drawbacks. (1) Regarding the cutting of rhinoceros such as tofu with a kitchen knife, it takes skill to adjust the dimensions, and it is not as easy as it looks. In addition, it is not only time-consuming to handle knives but also dangerous for young people and disabled people.

(2) Looking at various types of stamping tools and toro-top projecting tools, their size and shape are usually fixed, even though they are easy to handle and safe, but they can be pushed out or pushed out. is there.

(3) In the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-25196, the arrangement size of the linear metal stretched in a lattice shape and in a parallel shape is fixed, and the Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-429.
In the publication No. 8, the size of the die cutter is fixed. Therefore, with these tools, the size and shape of the object to be cut are limited, and the tool becomes relatively large, which poses a problem in consideration of storage and the like.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention are small and lightweight,
Various studies have been made for the purpose of a cooking cutter that is convenient to carry and store, can be handled safely and easily, and can obtain various shapes in one unit. It has been found that, by combining two types of frames that can be adjusted to different sizes, various shapes can be obtained in arbitrary sizes, and different sizes can be obtained at the same time as needed, and the present invention will be described here. It was possible.

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to simultaneously form foods of various shapes and different sizes, and in some cases, different sizes, and to carry and store them in a compact and lightweight manner. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking cutter which is convenient, safe and easy to handle.

[0010]

The above objects of the present invention are achieved by the following inventions. (1) A combination of a frame formed of a closed ring having an overhead wire supporting member at both ends and a frame having an open wire supporting member at both ends and having one open side. These overhead wire supporting members include a plurality of pieces on a core rod. A wire which is fitted and whose interval between the pieces can be adjusted. Further, a wire is laid parallel to the piece of the overhead wire support member facing the wire, and the wire is hung on the piece of the overhead wire support member of the frame composed of the closed ring. A cutting cutter for cooking, characterized in that the strips and the strips of the overhead wire supporting member of the frame whose one side is open intersect with each other at an arbitrary angle.

(2) The cooking cutter according to (1) above, wherein the frame composed of the closed ring and the frame whose one side is open are connected by a hinge.

(3) The above-mentioned (1) or (2) is characterized in that the line extending from the frame formed of the closed ring and the line extending from the frame whose one side is open are orthogonal to each other. The described cutting device for cooking.

(4) A tool for sticking out the tokoro sky which comprises the cutter for cooking and the stand for the sky from the sky as described in (1) above.

The present invention will be described in more detail below. The cooking cutter according to the present invention is smaller and lighter in weight, while ensuring ease of handling, safety, and dimensional stability of the cut object, as is the case with those proposed and implemented in the past. With this device, the shape of the cut product can be made into a die shape, a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a slice shape, a square string shape, and the like, which is an excellent effect.

The closed ring frame used in the present invention is also called an O-shaped frame or sliver. The material of this frame is not particularly limited, but a synthetic resin is preferably used. . The frame with one open side used in the present invention is
It is also called a U-shaped frame or slicer and is made of the same material as the O-shaped frame. The shape of each of these frames is not particularly limited, but a rectangular shape, particularly a rectangular shape is preferable from the viewpoint of cutting the processed food.

The O-shaped frame and the U-shaped frame are provided with an overhead wire supporting member in which a plurality of pieces are fitted on a core rod, and these pieces can move the distance between the pieces at a predetermined interval. Moreover, it is fixed so that it can be moved only when a relatively large force is applied to the movement. The number of pieces for adjusting the line spacing may be adjusted or increased or decreased as necessary, and normally, the number of pieces may be close to the required amount. In addition, a scale is provided on each of these frames in order to keep the distance between the pieces constant.

In order to fix the filament to the piece, it is preferable to provide a stage on the outer periphery of the piece and clip it. In addition, as a method of fastening with a clip, there are a method of adjusting the length of the filament and a method of using the filament of a predetermined length when the diagonally intersecting. Further, in the case where the length or width is constant, that is, the length is constant, the stage is not necessary and may be a plug-in type.

The filament is not particularly limited, but preferably a steel wire, a stainless steel wire, a piano wire or the like is used, and one filament or a bundle of a plurality of filaments has a desired thickness. Strips may be formed. As for the overhead wire supporting member provided on the frame, a piece is fitted in the core rod, but the shape of this piece is not particularly limited and any shape may be used. In each of the pieces of the overhead wire supporting member provided on both of these frames, a line is extended in parallel for each of the pieces facing each other.

Therefore, the overhead wire of the filament is basically formed by the right angle coupling of the pair of frame core rods, but the filament group (vertical thread) belonging to the O type frame and the filament group (horizontal thread) belonging to the U type frame. ) And can be orthogonal to each other,
The desired angle can be crossed. Further, the intervals between the filaments can be set arbitrarily.

The O-type frame and the U-type frame used in the present invention are used in combination. Specifically, the O-type frame and the U-type frame are connected by a hinge, and these O-type frames are also used. There are two types of U-frames and U-frames that can be attached to and removed from each other. In the latter case, the claw-shaped projections of the U-shaped frame are usually fitted individually when used, and the claw-shaped projections of the U-shaped frame are fitted to the claw-shaped projections of the U-shaped frame. Similarly, the circular protrusions of the U-shaped frame are fitted into the circular fitting portions on the opposite side, and the circular fittings are superposed integrally.

In use, when a hinge is provided, it is used as it is, and when it is individually separated, it is used individually or in combination as needed. Since the cooking cutter of the present invention is a type that cuts "tofu" placed on a cutting board or the like by moving the cutter, it is possible to obtain degrees of freedom (large and small thickness tofu, irregular shaped food, etc.). It is large, small and lightweight, so it is convenient to carry and store.

[0022]

In the present invention, since the O-shaped frame and the U-shaped frame are combined, the O-shaped frame can be used to move the food from the top to the bottom so that the food can be easily cut into vertical pieces. The mold frame can be sliced by vertically standing with the claw-shaped projection downward and moving it sideways.

Further, the piece fitted into the overhead wire supporting member of each frame is firmly fitted into the core rod to the extent that it moves when a relatively large force is applied to the piece, and the piece is moved by moving the piece. The distance can be adjusted. Therefore, a plurality of sets of wires connecting the predetermined opposing pieces can be arbitrarily positioned on the core rod for each piece using the scale graduated on the base material frame. The line spacing is adjusted steplessly and variably.
