JPH0856824A - Rind peeler - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a rind peeler which enables selection of the direction of peeling appropriately in the peeling of a nut with a hard rind such as chest nut. CONSTITUTION: A blade body has a cutting edge 21 for cutting and a mating serrated edge 22 on the tip rim of a blade and is provided at pinching pressure application parts 13 of scissorsshaped bodies 1a and 1b so that the cutting edges are respectively opposed to different edges. A user uses a tip half part or a base half part of the blade body 2 selectively thereby enabling the selection of the direction of cutting appropriately.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a peeler for peeling chestnut and other hard-tree nuts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a peeler for peeling chestnuts and the like having a hard skin, a peeling device is used which is composed of a spatula blade and is inserted between the fruit portion and the skin (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. -7628
1, No. 59-207115, No. 62-6993
No. 8), a nail clipper type that cuts the skin off with a nipping blade (No. 59-22616), a scissor-shaped one with one of the swords as the cutting blade and the other as the restraining blade (No. 627
No. 22) and the like are known.

[0003]

When peeling chestnuts, the peeling can be easily performed by continuously cutting the skin with a cutting blade, but with the nail clipper type, continuous cutting is possible. It is not possible, and the spatula blade type is not a safe tool because it requires the chestnuts to be held firmly by hand. The scissors type is considered to be the most effective configuration for peeling, because the cutting portion can be opened and closed for continuous cutting while the cutting blade is biting into the chestnut skin. However, in continuous cutting, it is determined by the positional relationship between the cutting blade and the restraining blade whether to cut toward the front or to the outside with respect to the chestnut, for example 627
In the peeler shown in Japanese Patent No. 22, it is necessary to change the attachment positions of the cutting blade and the blade in order to cut in both directions. Therefore, the present invention proposes a peeler capable of cutting in both directions.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION A peeler according to the present invention is a scissor-shaped body having a pinching action portion, one of which has a cutting edge at its leading half and a saw tooth-like restraining blade at its base half. A blade body is attached, and the other one is characterized in that a blade body having a sawtooth-shaped leading edge and a base half is a cutting blade. Further, in particular, each of the above-mentioned blades is constituted by a cutting blade and a suppressing blade.

[0005]

[Operation] Expand the clamping action area and clamp chestnuts at the tip half or base half of the blade to allow the blade to bite into the skin of the object to be cut,
Cut the skin with the cutting blade, i.e. peel the skin, and if the skin is cut to some extent, move the restraining position of the blade while the cutting edge of the cutting blade is cutting into the skin, and peel off the skin one by one. The cutting direction is from the cutting edge to the blade body. Therefore, the cutting and advancing direction can be arbitrarily selected depending on whether the first half or the base half is used for peeling.

EXAMPLES Next, examples of the present invention will be described. <First Embodiment> FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment. The peeling device of the first embodiment comprises a pair of main bodies 1a, 1a.
The main bodies 1a and 1b are made to cross each other in a scissor shape, and the crossing portions are pivotally connected to each other so that one of the pivotally connecting portions 11 serves as a grip portion 12 and the other serves as a clamping force acting portion 13, and a clamping force acting portion 13
The blades 2a and 2b are provided to face each other.
The blade bodies 2a and 2b are different in the state of formation of the blade of the blade edge portion from the tip portion and the base portion, one is formed on the cutting blade 21, and the other is formed on the saw-toothed suppressing blade 22. The blades 2a and 2b are mounted on the blade 13 so that the cutting edge 21 and the suppressing edge 22 face each other at the front half and the base half, respectively.

The blade body 2 may be formed directly on the pinching action portion 13, or separately, each action portion 13 may be formed separately.
The blade body 2 may be removable so that the blade body 2 can be replaced. Further, the opposing blade bodies 2a and 2b may be arranged so as to have a V shape as shown in the drawing at the time of cutting, or may be arranged horizontally.

Thus, the grip 12 is held by hand with the pinching action portion 13 opened, and the outer skin of the chestnut A is sandwiched between the tip half or base half of the blades 2a, 2b, and the grip 12 is gripped firmly. Then, the restraining blade 22 bites into the skin of the chestnut A to suppress the chestnut A, peels off the skin a with the cutting blade 21, and repeatedly opens and closes the handle 12 to peel off the skin a. In the above-mentioned work, there are some people who are more likely to peel off when cutting to the front side due to their personal habits, and some are easier to peel when cutting toward the outside. However, in the pinching action portion 13 of the peeling device of the present invention, With half and base half,
Since the right and left positions of the cutting edge 21 and the suppressing edge 22 are opposite to each other, the cutting advance direction can be arbitrarily selected. Needless to say, the blade body 2 has a sufficient size so that the front half portion and the base half portion can be cut with respect to the size of the chestnut A.

<Second Embodiment> FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, four blades are used instead of the blade bodies 2a and 2b of the first embodiment. Bodies 3a, 3b, 3
c and 3d are used, the blades 3a and 3b are used for the pinching action portion 13 of one body 1a, and the blades 3c and 3d are used for the other body 1
The blade bodies 3a, which are attached in series to the pinching action portions of b, respectively, are the blades 3a, which are attached facing each other in the first half of the pinching action portions, are the suppressing blades, and the opposing blade bodies 3c are the cutting blades. Similarly, the blade body 3b is also a cutting blade and the blade body 3d is a pressing blade in the base half of the pinching action portion, and the tip half and the base half are reversed. Therefore, the cutting and advancing direction can be arbitrarily selected as in the first embodiment.

In each of the above-described embodiments, a pair of main bodies 1a and 1b are crossed to each other to form a scissor-shaped instrument in which the crossing portion is pivotally connected. However, the present invention is such that the base end portion is pivotally connected or flexed. As a possible U-shaped main body, it is also applicable to a Japanese scissors-shaped main body, and even in this case, the blade bodies 2a and 2b may be provided in the pinching action portion.

As described above, according to the present invention, the cutting edge of one blade is composed of the cutting blade for cutting and the serrated blade, and the blade is scissor-shaped so as to face different blades. Since it is a peeler provided in the clamping force acting part of the main body, the user can arbitrarily select the cutting advance direction by selectively using the tip half part or the base half part of the blade body.
