Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a chestnut peeler.

If you want to eat chestnut noodles, chestnut rice, or other foods, you must peel the chestnuts. The skin of raw or steamed chestnuts is hard, and the skin is currently peeled with a knife. Peeling chestnuts with this knife requires a lot of work, and it is difficult to peel them cleanly.

In view of this, the present invention has been developed to easily and quickly peel chestnut skins.In other words, the present invention bends a leaf spring into a U-shape at approximately the center, and bends one end piece inward and uses a sawtooth. It is characterized by forming a shaped blade part.

The following description will be made based on the illustrated embodiment.

In the figure, A is the chestnut peeler of the present invention, which is formed using a leaf spring having the required strength and elasticity.
As shown in Fig. 1, a leaf spring is bent into a U-shape at approximately the center to form a central bent part 1, and a chestnut is placed on one end piece 2 of the leaf spring, and the other end piece 3 is bent from the one end piece 2. The blade part 4 is made slightly shorter and has a tip bent downward and into a sawtooth shape. When the one end piece 2 and the other end piece 3 are squeezed together, this blade part 4 is designed to bite into the chestnut on one end piece, but the width of this blade part 4 is set so that this operation can be performed more easily. The required length on the distal end side of the part is made so that it is approximately parallel to the one end piece 2 when both pieces are not gripped. A chestnut holding hole 5 or a ring-shaped protrusion is formed at the chestnut mounting position of the one end piece 2 so that the chestnut can be easily stopped and held in a fixed position. In addition, the side edge of one end piece 2 may be a flat plate end as shown on the A side from the center line, or it may be bent upwardly and inwardly in the longitudinal direction of the side edge as shown on the B side to increase strength. . The open end sides of both end pieces 2 and 3 are sufficiently opened when no external force is applied, and the interval is determined so that even if a chestnut is placed on one end piece, the blade part descends and bites into a part of the chestnut.

When peeling chestnuts using the chestnut peeler thus formed, the chestnut C is placed on one end piece and the other end piece is gripped so that the blade part bites into the skin and the chestnut is slightly tilted. By repeating this two or three times or more in the circumferential direction of the chestnut, the skin can be easily peeled. In this case, by inserting the blade into the boundary between the bottom and body of the chestnut, the cutting edge will surely be inserted into the chestnut skin.

In addition, the objects shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 are for the above purposes,
This is a different embodiment that achieves this effect, and the one in Figure 2 makes peeling the chestnut skin easier by squeezing both end pieces so that the cutting edge bites into the chestnut skin and applies a force that automatically pushes the chestnut out. This chestnut extrusion force is achieved by installing a plate spring 6 between one end piece and the other end piece, which is curved so as to protrude outward, and when the two end pieces approach each other, the plate spring 6 is The spring 6 is further curved to perform the above-mentioned function.

Furthermore, the one shown in FIG. 3 is the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, with both end pieces 2 and 3 curved to make it easier to grip, like the palm of the hand.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the tip 2a of one end piece 2 is bent upward to more securely support the chestnut, and the lower end of the leaf spring 7 is riveted to one end piece 2, and the other end piece 3 is A sliding plate 8 equipped with a slidable blade 8a is provided on the other end piece without providing a blade part at the tip, and the upper end of the leaf spring 7 is hooked on a part of this sliding plate 8. .

Therefore, when peeling a chestnut skin in this embodiment, if you grasp the chestnut placed on one end piece and grip the other end piece, the sliding plate 8
The blade 8a formed by bending one end of the blade 8a bites into the chestnut skin, and when the other end piece is brought closer to one side of the end, the leaf spring 7 is bent. This leaf spring 7
By bending, the tip of the leaf spring moves to the right in FIG. 4A. As a result, the sliding plate 8 also moves to the right, and the moving blade forcibly peels the fixed chestnut.

According to the present invention, a leaf spring is bent into a U-shape, one end of which is further bent toward the other end to form a serrated blade at the tip, and a chestnut is stably placed on the other end piece. Since there is a chestnut fixing hole for holding chestnuts, inserting the chestnut point into this fixing hole will stably support raw chestnuts with hard skins. It has the advantage of being able to press the chestnut with a lever and peel off even the hard skin safely, easily and quickly.
