JPS58307B2 - Sushi to rice ball manufacturing method and manufacturing tools - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing sushi or traditional nigiri, and a manufacturing tool used therefor.

Traditionally, sushi and rice balls were made one by one, and when there were a large number of pieces, the process of making them required a lot of effort.

In addition, there are products in which rice and ingredients are stored in one or one package and the two are combined when eaten, but these are made individually one by one, and multiple ingredients are prepared at the same time. It's not about making individual sushi or rice balls.

In view of these points, the present invention is particularly suitable for cases where large orders or mass sales are made as a business activity, when making a simple F-co in a short period of time at home, or when using as a mobile phone. The present invention aims to provide a manufacturing method for simultaneously finishing sushi and rice balls, and manufacturing tools used therein.

This will be explained in detail below with reference to a diagram showing an example of sushi production.

In Fig. 1 and the following figures, reference numeral 1 indicates a sushi container used in the present invention.

This container 1 is made of a material such as synthetic resin or rubber that has a suitable elasticity that has the ability to retain its shape as a container and has the ability to recover from deformation pressure, and is formed by pressure air vacuum forming, etc., and has a plurality of deep storage recesses, for example, 10 in the figure. It consists of a main body 2 in which 3 are connected in series, and a lid body 4 in which shallow storage recesses 5 corresponding to the same number of 3 are connected in series.

As an example of the material, styrene paper or the like having a thickness of about 0.75 to 2 mm is preferable because it has both shape retention and flexibility, and has a smooth surface.

The main body 2 and the lid 4 may be integrally connected so as to be openable and closable, or may be assembled as separate bodies.

The lower ends of the partition walls 6 between the recesses 3 and the upper ends of the partition walls 7 between the recesses 5 are preferably in contact with each other, and each end surface is preferably rounded rather than wide flat.

Reference numeral 8 designates a flange on the periphery of the main body, 9 a flange of the lid formed upright so as to be able to receive the main body 2, and 10 a knob piece formed at one side end of the main body 2.

Note that the main container 1 includes the main body 2 and the recesses 3 and 5 of the lid 4.
Both may be made to have the same depth so that either can be used as the main body and the other as the lid.Also, when the container 1 is molded with the recesses 3 and 5 shallowly deep, If the recesses 3 and 5 are molded to the same depth, the vicinity of the bottom of both recesses 3 and 5 must be at least flexible. The portion may be molded more rigidly than this.

Next, reference numeral 11 shown in FIG. 2 is a hard sushi manufacturing frame used in the present invention.

This frame 11 is fitted into the main body 2 having a deep recess 3 of the container from the outside of the recess 3, and has a frame height smaller than the depth of the recess.

Furthermore, the frame body 11 may have partitions 13 formed in the four circumferential frame portions 12 corresponding to each of the recesses, as shown in the figure.
3 may be formed in only one vertical or horizontal row, or
It may also be possible to form only the edge frame portions 12 on the four peripheries without providing any partition portions inside the frame portions 12.

In the manufacturing method of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, first, the container 1 is prepared, and as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, an appropriate amount of rice 15 is placed so as to be approximately evenly distributed over the entire top of each recess 3.

Then, the lid 4 is placed on the upper surface of the main body, and the recess 3 side of the main body is turned upward, and then the frame 11 is fitted between the recesses 3 as shown in FIG. A plate-like object is applied to press the entire bottom surface.

The plate-shaped body presses the flexible bottom of the recess 3 and crushes the bottom until it hits the hard frame, and the body 2 and the lid 4 abut the edges of the respective partition walls 6 and 7. are closely polymerized with each other,
The rice 15 is smoothly divided and stored in each of the recesses 3 and 5 by the partition walls 6 and 7, and by pressing the bottom of the recess 3, the rice and toppings stored in each recess 3. A desirable state of sushi is achieved by receiving the pressing force.

If the force of the pressed body 2 is used to open the lid by holding the knob 10, sushi 16 identical to the sushi sushi will appear in each recess 5 of the lid 4, as shown in FIG.

In the above case, since there is the frame 11, the pressing force is regulated by the frame and is always constant, so that a uniform lifespan can be mass-produced.

In addition to the pressing operation performed by applying a single plate as described above, it is also possible to perform the pressing operation by pressing the container 1 on a pedestal 18 and a pressing table 19 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The suppressor 17 is pivotably mounted to open and close at intervals equal to the thickness of the container, and preferably has a compression spring 21 interposed between the pedestal 18 and the pressing pedestal 19 at this pivoted portion. You may also do so.

In addition, instead of the frame 11 and the plate-shaped body or suppressor 17, a flexible recess 3 of the container 1 as shown in FIG.
Similar to the suppressor 17, a pedestal 24 and a press pedestal 25 are installed, each of which has a recessed receiving part 23 shallower than the depth of the recessed part for accommodating it, integrally formed in a frame shape like the frame 11. A suppressor 22 may also be used.

In this way, according to the present invention, by using the container 1, it is possible to make a plurality of sushi at the same time by simply putting toppings, serving rice, putting the containers together and pressing the bottom, and making a large number of sushi in a short time. You can make sushi with less effort.

The sushi is made with just the right amount of pressure and tastes just as delicious as if it had been made by hand.It is also extremely clean and hygienic as there is no need to touch the sushi with your hands.

Furthermore, the pressure is always kept constant by the frame body or the frame-shaped recessed receiver of the presser, and sushi with uniform pressure can be easily produced.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the finished sushi can be sold and carried without being taken out of the container, either as it is in the container or by wrapping the lid with the sushi on it in a film. This has the advantage that the manufacturing container can be used as a packaging container.

The above explanation uses sushi as an example, but it is also possible to put only the rice in a container and press it to form a rice ball, then roll the rice ball by hand with glue etc. and eat it. Alternatively, the sushi may be made in the same way with ingredients other than sushi toppings, and these are naturally included in the present invention.
