BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power-saving knife having a metal frame on an upper portion of a blade body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a result of improving living standards, today every home will have at least a refrigerator with a freezer or a larger commercial freezer. Modern life is very busy, and the traditional way of life no longer works. Modern people who are overwhelmed by time seek out groceries that last longer than the grocery they used to buy on a daily basis. Such foods are refrigerated or frozen. However, it takes time to cut frozen meat for cooking. It is even more difficult if the meat is boned. For example, slicing frozen meat with bones without chopping is almost impossible or time-consuming. Even if chopping, it is difficult to cut to the same thickness, splashing gravy and dirtying the area, and the work itself is noisy and dangerous.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a power-saving kitchen knife which can be used safely and cleanly with a light operating force, and is particularly useful as a meat knife. is there.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a power-saving kitchen knife according to the present invention comprises a frame welded to an upper portion of a blade. The frame is E-shaped and a handle support is mounted on top of the frame. The handle support may be fixed to the frame with screws or rivets or may be adjustably mounted. The adjustable handle support has a U-shaped cross section.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a power-saving knife according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a half of a handle / support 3 provided in the power-saving knife. Blade 1 and handle 6
Is the same shape as the existing meat cleaver. A metal frame 5 is welded to the upper part of the blade 1. The frame 5 is composed of three vertical bars and one horizontal bar, each having the same thickness as the thickness of the blade itself, and has a substantially E-shape. The second vertical bar is located closer to the front (see FIG. 1), and is located closer to the left when viewed from the front.
The handle support 3 has two holes 4 for screws for fixing it to the frame. The handle support 3 is fixed along the horizontal bar between the second and third vertical bars of the metal frame 5. The space 2 formed between the first and second vertical bars can be used as a bottle opener or
It can be used as a hole for hanging on a wall when not using a kitchen knife.

The handle support 3 is made of wood or plastic. The cross section of the vertical half of the handle support 3 has a gutter shape, and the vertical width of the hollow groove 7 is the same as the vertical width of the horizontal bar of the metal frame 5. Since the depth is half of the thickness of the horizontal bar of the metal frame 5, when the two halves are put together, the horizontal bar is firmly wrapped. The handle support 3 considers user's ease of use and comfort,
The shape may be rounder than square. Furthermore,
When the corrugated recess 8 is provided at the lower part of the handle support 3, the usability when the handle is held in the hand is good.

[0007] In addition, as the handle support 3,
A rectangular shape having a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 3 may be used, and may be integrally formed of a more flexible material. Also in this case, a groove 9 having the same width as the horizontal bar of the metal frame is provided in the handle support 3. The depth of the hollow groove 9 of this adjustable handle support is slightly less than the thickness of the horizontal bar of the metal frame 5 so that no extra force is applied to secure the handle support. Even the handle support fits snugly. Further, the outer shell of the adjustable handle support 3 has a rounded shape with no corners, thereby improving usability.

[0008]

When cutting a hard object using the power-saving knife of the present invention, wrap the handle and support 3 with the middle finger, ring finger and little finger, press the upper part of the blade with the thumb and forefinger, and apply force with the palm. And hold the target firmly. The object must be located directly below the handle support. When cutting an object, moving the blade using the movement of a seesaw can cut it even more easily, and 30-40 when cutting hard or frozen items normally
% Power.

Further, the use of this kitchen knife eliminates the need to defrost frozen meat in one hour. With a labor-saving kitchen knife, it is possible to cut only a piece of meat from the mass. The remaining meat can be returned to the freezer as it is, and the meat is less likely to be damaged, saving time and energy.

According to the test results, the use of the power-saving kitchen knife of the present invention makes it possible to reduce
2.5-2.8 times the force can be applied. this is,
This is because the weight of the user can be applied to the meat as it is. Easily cut frozen meat and other hard materials, saving thawing time and increasing efficiency. It can also be used as a regular kitchen knife when cutting non-hard items.

[0011] Compared to conventional meat cleavers and knives, the power-saving kitchen knives of the present invention have a unique feature of saving time and energy, and can be used safely and versatilely.
