Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In this invention, chopped cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and other vegetables are placed in a synthetic resin mesh bag, and the mesh bag is compressed to squeeze out the moisture contained in the vegetables. This invention relates to improvements to vegetable squeezers.

Many improvements have already been made to this type of vegetable squeezer, but these conventional ones have a female iron thread welded to the support arm.
If a defect occurs in the female thread, it not only becomes unusable, but also causes distortion in the female thread during welding, which causes galling to the male thread, which may cause the female thread to become defective at an early stage or compress the vegetables. Since no particular consideration was given to the sliding portion between the press plate and the male screw, there was a drawback that metal powder was generated due to galling at the sliding portion, and there was a risk that the metal powder would be mixed into the vegetables.

In order to improve the shortcomings of the conventional vegetable squeezer, this invention forms the female thread with gunmetal, attaches the female thread to its support arm with screws, and improves the sliding connection between the pressing plate and the lower end of the male thread. The feature is that a hardened steel plate made of stainless steel is interposed between the parts, which not only eliminates most of the galling of the female thread and the male thread, but also allows the female thread to be easily removed from its support arm in the event of a problem with the female thread. It can be easily replaced, and even if the plate warps when pressed by rotating the male screw, the sliding part between the lower end of the male screw and the press plate is made of a high-hardness steel plate that maintains its alignment. As a result, we were able to create a practical vegetable squeezer that allows smooth and easy rotation of the male thread.

In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the vegetable squeezer is incorporated into a cylindrical container 1 with a bottom 11 having a large number of through holes 10, 10, and compresses vegetables A between the container bottom plate 11 and the container bottom plate 11. It is made up of a press plate 2, a female screw support arm 3 incorporating a female screw 30 for raising and lowering the male screw 20 of the press plate 2, and an operation bundle 4.

Each container 1 has support legs 12 removably attached to the container 1 so that the container 1 can be supported at an appropriate height on the floor. In this way, the attachment pipes 13, 13 are protruded at symmetrical positions on the upper edge of the container 1.

The press plate 2 has a size that fits loosely into the container 1, and the lower end of the male screw 20 is assembled into a bearing 21 protruding from the center of the press plate 2.
A set screw 22 is used to prevent the screw from coming off, and a hardened steel plate 23 made of stainless steel is installed on the bottom of the bearing 21, that is, on the pressure plate 2, so that the hemispherical portion of the lower end of the male screw 20 is in contact with the steel plate 23. It's Nishide.

The male thread 20 has a length equal to or greater than the depth of the container 1, has a square shaft 24 at its upper end, and has a removable round handle 4 built into the square shaft 24.

A gunmetal female screw 30 through which the male screw 20 is inserted and which causes the male screw 20 to move up and down is attached to an arm 3 that supports it. Most of the female threads 30 are incorporated into the arm 3 and fixed to the arm 3 with fixing means 31 such as bolts, nuts, and spring washers.

The female screw support arm 3 has a length that is sufficiently longer than the diameter of the container 1, and is placed across the upper edge of the container 1 with that length. The mounting tube 13 is assembled into the mouth shape as shown in FIG.

A through hole 32.3 is formed in the arm side wall 34 at the installed position.
2 is drilled, and the connecting pins 33 and 33 are inserted through the through hole 32 and also through the mounting tube 13, so that the external thread 20 is reliably assembled into the container 1.

Therefore, in order to take out the press plate 2 from the container 1, pull out the coupling pins 33, 33 as shown in FIG. , the pressing plate 2 together with the male screw 20 can be easily taken out.

After removing the press plate 2 from the container 1, put a large amount of chopped cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and other vegetables into a synthetic resin mesh bag A, put it into the container 1, and put the support arm 3 back into the container. 1. After placing it on the upper edge and connecting it with the pin 33,
Turn the handle 4 to lower the pressure plate 2 and place the net bag A at the bottom 1.
1, the large amount of moisture contained in the vegetables is squeezed out according to the compressive force of the pressing plate 2, and it is possible to provide chopped vegetables with little moisture.

As mentioned above, in the vegetable squeezer of this invention, the female thread is made of gunmetal, and the support arm is attached to it with a set screw, so there is less risk of galling in the threaded part that slides into place with the male thread. Not only is it easier to perform the drawing operation, but the female thread can also be replaced easily.In particular, since a highly hard stainless steel plate is interposed on the sliding surface between the pressing plate and the lower end of the male thread, there is no risk of problems with the sliding action. This eliminates this problem, making it possible to create an excellent wringer that can be easily operated at all times.
