Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fruit peeler that reliably grips and rotates a spherical fruit with soft flesh, such as an apple, and thereby peels the fruit well.

In a conventional fruit peeler, a pair of clamping claws for clamping spherical fruits such as pears and apples are installed horizontally on the base frame, one of the clamping claws is attached to the handle shaft, and the other clamping claw is attached to the handle shaft. The handle shaft is attached to a spline shaft that can move forward and backward using a spring, and the handle shaft and the spline shaft are connected to each other by a transmission mechanism such as a gear, and a landing plate with a stabbing blade between both clamping claws can be rotated left and right. There was a fruit peeler (Utility Model Publication No. 163399, 1973) that was pivoted for free movement.

In this method, a handle is rotated, a pair of rotary support shafts are rotated, the fruit is rotated, and a cutting blade is applied to the fruit to peel the skin. Fruits with hard cores, such as pears, are relatively easy to peel, but apples have soft flesh, so it is best to peel as long as the gripping claws do not break through the skin, but it is best to peel them as long as you can, even a little, to reach the pulp. For example, the gripping claws cut into the core of the fruit and gouge out the periphery of the core, resulting in the gripping claws spinning idly and making it impossible to peel the fruit.

However, if the resistance of the blade to the skin was reduced, it would become impossible to peel the skin.

However, in the present invention, the support base 2 attached to the base 1
A spherical fruit 6 such as an apple is held between a pair of rotary support shafts 4 and 5 supported by the rotary support shafts 4 and 3, a handle 7 is attached to one rotary support shaft 4, and a tool rest 9 is equipped with a stabbing blade 8. A fruit peeler is provided on a base 1, and an elastic body 10, 11 made of rubber or the like is attached to the tip of a pair of rotating support shafts 4°5. The present invention, which eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional products mentioned above, will now be described with reference to an example of implementation shown in the attached drawings.

Supports 2 and 3 are attached to the base 1 at a distance, and the protrusion 15 of the rotating shaft 14, which has an elongated hole 13 formed inward, is inserted into the hole 12 provided in the support 2. , stop plate 16.16 a

Position the tip of the pin 31 attached to the shaft 25
The rotary support shaft 5 is configured to rotate without moving within the hole 28, and a conical elastic body 11 made of rubber or the like is attached to the inner end of the rotary support shaft 5. A locking screw 36 is attached to the tip of a rotating rod 35, which is configured to hold a spherical fruit 6 such as an apple, and is rotatably attached to a fixed shaft 32 attached to the base 1 via a ball bearing 33 and a nut 34. Install the tool post support rod 37 by standing it up, attach the handle 38 to the tool post support rod 37, insert the support shaft 40 into the hole 39 provided in the tool post support rod 37, and screw the tool post support rod 37 into the tool post support rod 37. The tip of the inserted set screw 41 is brought into contact with the support shaft 40 to fix the support shaft 40 to the tool post support rod 37, and the long hole 42 provided inward on the support shaft 40 is inserted into the support shaft 40. The spring 43 is inserted and the outer part 44 of the tool rest 9 is inserted into the long hole part 42 of the support shaft 40 so that the outer end of the outer part 44 is brought into contact with the spring 43,
The protrusion 46 provided on the outer part 44 of the tool rest 9 is inserted into the elongated hole 45 provided in the support shaft 40, and the inner end of the tool rest 9 is provided with a convex surface R-shaped roller 47, and the lower part thereof is provided with an upwardly facing protrusion. This fruit peeler is equipped with a cutting blade 8 which is curved in a convex R shape.

When peeling a spherical fruit 6 such as an apple according to the present invention, the base of the spherical fruit 6, that is, the proximal recess 6a.
and the tip recess 6b on the opposite side are clamped by a conical elastic body 10.11 made of rubber or the like, and when clamping, the orientation of the spherical fruit 6 is fixed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Of course, the end recess 6a may be located toward the conical elastic body 11, and the one shown in FIGS.
A conical elastic body 10 made of rubber or the like is placed in contact with the proximal recess 6a, and a conical elastic body 1 made of rubber or the like is placed in the tip recess 6b.
1 is brought into contact.

In this case, if the conical elastic body 10 is pushed outward, the rotation support shaft 4 will compress the spring 17, and if the conical elastic body 11 is pushed outward, the rotation support shaft 5 will push the shaft rod 25. spring 24
is compressed, and therefore the conical elastic body 10
．． After the spherical fruit 6 is held between the springs 11 and 11, the spring 17
．． 24 is stretched, the conical elastic body 10.11 made of rubber or the like is pressed against the spherical fruit 6, and the spherical fruit 6 is reliably held.

In addition, since the tool rest 9 is pushed inward by the spring 43,
The stabbing blade 8 curved in a convex R shape attached to the inner end of the tool rest 9 and the convex R-shaped roller 47 touch the surface of the spherical fruit 6, and then the handle 7 is pressed with one hand as shown in FIG. When rotated in the direction of the arrow, the rotating shaft 14 rotates in the same direction together with the handle 7, and furthermore, the rotating support shaft 4 and the conical elastic body 10 also rotate in the same direction via the protrusion 19 and the elongated hole 18. As a result, the spherical fruit 6 also rotates in the same direction.

In this case, the conical elastic body 11 and the rotation support shaft 5 also rotate in the same direction via the spherical fruit 6.

In this state, by holding the handle 38 with the other hand and rotating the tool rest 9 to the left or right as shown in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The skin is peeled off.

In addition, if the stabbing blade 8 is attached diagonally downward to the inner end of the tool rest 9 and the roller 47 is attached to the lower part, the handle 17 can be rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow direction in FIG. If so, the spherical fruit 6 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above and the skin is peeled off.

As mentioned above, in the present invention, the pair of rotation support shafts 4
, 5 are attached to both ends of elastic bodies 10.11 made of rubber or the like, and the spherical fruit 6 such as an apple is held between the elastic bodies 10.11, so that the spherical fruit 6 can be held securely, and Even if the fruit is like an apple with soft flesh and there is resistance from the cutting blade 8, the gripping nails cut into the core of the fruit like conventional gripping claws, and the gripping claws gouge out the core. The skin can be removed cleanly without the gripping claws spinning idly.

Moreover, by using the elastic bodies 10 and 11 made of rubber or the like, even if these are pressed against the spherical fruit 6 with considerable force, the spherical fruit 6 can be reliably held without being damaged. This has the effect of allowing the pricking blade 8 to peel the skin well.
