Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is capable of cutting open the entire mesocarp (fruit bag) of one citrus fruit, such as citrus fruit, Ibakan, and summer mandarin, in one operation. This relates to a mesocarp cutter for citrus fruits.

[Conventional technology]

Nowadays, eating citrus fruits is extremely difficult because the mesocarp has to be opened one by one by hand.

It's difficult even for adults, so it was even more difficult for children.

For this reason, the appearance of a specialized mesocarp opening tool was desired.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The technical object of the present invention is to provide a convenient citrus mesocarp cutter that solves these problems and can cut open the entire mesocarp of the fruit in one operation.

[Means for solving the problem] An incision blade 4 for incising the mouth of the mesocarp 3 is formed at the lower end periphery of the piercing tube 2 that pierces the fruit body 1 from above to below. A guide thrusting rod 5 is housed so as to be freely drawn out, a core extrusion board 6 is provided at the upper end of this guide thrusting rod 5, a pusher rod 7 is provided in the center of this core extrusion board 6 to protrude upward, and this pusher rod 7 is provided so as to be freely drawn out from the center of the top part 2a of the piercing tube 2.

[Effect]

As shown in Fig. 2, a piercing tube 2 is inserted into the center of the fruit body 1.
Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the pushing rod 7 is lowered and the guide piercing rod 5 is inserted into the center of the fruit body 1 directly below.

In this state, when the piercing tube 2 is pushed down to the bottom as shown in FIG. 3 using the push rod 7 as a guide, the opening of all the mesocarp 3 is incised with the incision blade 4.

After making the incision, pull out the piercing tube 2 and at the same time press down on the push rod 7.
When pushed out, the guide piercing rod 5 is pushed out, and the core 8 stuck inside the piercing tube 2 is pushed out.

〔Example〕

The piercing tube 2 is preferably made of rust-resistant stainless steel, but may be made of hard plastic for mass production.

The same applies to the guide pin 5, the core extrusion plate 6, and the push rod 7.

In the figure, 9 is a knob part, and 10 is a handle part.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the opening of the entire mesocarp 3 can be incised with a simple action of pushing the piercing tube 2 into the fruit body 1 using the push rod 7 as a guide, which is extremely convenient. And even children can easily use it.

In this case, as described above, the piercing tube 2 is connected to the push rod 7.
Since the piercing tube 2 can be pushed down using it as a guide, it can be pushed down straight without wobbling or bending, so that the same position at the mouth of each mesocarp 3 can be accurately incised.

After the incision, the core 8 enters the piercing tube 2, but this core 8 also moves into the core extrusion plate 6 by pushing down the push rod 7.
It can be easily taken out because it is pushed out.

Moreover, since the proposed product has a simple structure, it is easy to manufacture, and can be mass-produced in either stainless steel or plastic, and has excellent practical effects such as being able to provide the product at a lower price.
