Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a peeler for vegetables such as potatoes, yams, radish, and burdock.
The main body of the hand-held peeler can be separated into two parts, each equipped with a cutting tool for peeling and an arrowhead-shaped stabbing tool.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a peeler has a flat plate shape, with the width narrowed in the middle so that it can be easily gripped with one hand, and one end of the plate has a V-shaped cross section and a bent part in the center. A peeler consisting of a single unit having the shape shown in Fig. 1 as a whole, equipped with a cutter having a blade for peeling on the part by punching in the longitudinal direction, and a grating surface formed on the other half. is known.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional hand-held peeler, the entire device is made into a single unit, and therefore, it is difficult to use the peeler when the target potato is small or suitable for being held in one hand. If the object has become so small that it cannot be removed, or if you want to peel it safely, in addition to the above-mentioned peeling method, use a tool equipped with a piercing tool to safely hold the small object against the cutting tool. It was prepared and used separately.

This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned situation when peeling with a hand-held peeler. Specifically, the object is to provide a stabbing tool for holding an object, and also to allow the stabbing tool to be safely stored when not in use.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a peeler with a cutter attached to one end of the instrument body, with the intermediate portion being a hand-grip portion, and the instrument body being held at a portion of the instrument body that is located away from the grip portion toward the edge of the knife. It is divided into two parts, and one of the two parts, which is equipped with the cutting tool, is equipped with a storage cylindrical body, and the other part is equipped with a piercing tool, facing each other. It is a characteristic.

[Effect]

With the peeler according to the present invention, if the object is a normal object that can be easily held with one hand, the peeling operation can be performed by grasping the grip part with the other hand without dividing the main body of the device. Next, if the object is spherical or small like a potato, or even if it is large like a Japanese yam, the length has become short so that it is difficult to grasp, or if the object is peeled. When you want to use the device safely, divide the main body into left and right parts, hold the object by piercing the object with the stabbing tool provided on one device, and then attach the object to the other device. All you have to do is use the provided cutting tools to peel the skin.

However, when not in use, by facing both instrument bodies, the piercing tool can be housed in a cylindrical body formed on the other instrument body, and the whole can be safely handled as a single body.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained using the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the figure, 1 is a flat plate-shaped body made of synthetic resin, and by narrowing the middle part in the width direction, there is a grip part 1' that can be grasped with the thumb and other four fingers. A cutter 2 having a V-shaped cross section at one end and having a blade 2' formed on the inner edge of one opposing side by punching out one side of the bent portion in the longitudinal direction is pivotally attached to one end of the main body of the instrument. Further, the other half of the device body, which is formed into a substantially scoop shape, is provided with a large number of gaps 4' at appropriate intervals, and a grated surface 4 with sawtooth projections is formed on the outer surface.
Reference numerals 5 and 5 designate scraping parts for scraping off sprouts or small depressions in potatoes, which are protruding from the outer surface of the main body 1 on which the cutter 2 is installed.

The tool body 1 has a grating surface 4 from the grip part 1' to the opposite side of the cutter 2, that is, from the grip part 1' to the grating surface 4.
The instrument body 1 is located near the instrument body 1a,
The tool body 1b is separable so that it can be attached and detached into two parts, and the tool body 1a equipped with the cutting tool 2 on one side of the main body is formed with a cylindrical part 6 that opens along the divided opposing part 1''. and the other instrument body 1b
An arrowhead-shaped stabbing tool 7 that protrudes opposite the cylindrical portion 6 is protruded through a boss portion 8. Reference numerals 9, 9 and 10, 10 are dowel pins and holes for receiving the pins formed on the divided contact surfaces of the instrument bodies 1a and 1b, respectively.

The peeler constructed as described above is constructed so that the grip part 1' is grasped with one hand when the two instrument bodies 1a and 1b are combined into a single instrument body 1 as shown in Fig. 1. The skin of the object held in the other hand can be scraped off using the cutting tool 2 at one end. However, if the object becomes smaller or smaller, the instrument main body 1 is divided into left and right instrument bodies 1a and 1b, and as shown in FIG. The object is supported by sticking the tool 7 into the object A,
However, by applying the cutting tool 2 to the object with the other tool body 1a inverted, the object,
For example, it will be possible to safely peel a potato without having to hold it directly in your hands. When not in use, or when the piercing tool 7 is no longer needed, the piercing tool is housed in the cylindrical part 8 by joining both instrument bodies 1a and 1b at the opposing part 1'' as shown in FIG. All you have to do is do it.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention provides the following effects.

The instrument body can be used as a single instrument for peeling, or it can be divided into two instrument bodies each equipped with a cutting tool and a piercing tool.

When the above-mentioned instrument body is divided into left and right instrument bodies, the grip part is provided on the side instrument equipped with the cutter, so when peeling with this cutter, the grip part can be used to hold the instrument body in the correct position. It can be held strong at an angle.

Since the piercing tool is provided in one of the instrument bodies of the peeler, it is possible to eliminate the waste of using a separate piercing tool independent of the peeler, and the piercing tool can be stored in the holding cylinder. It is safe and does not require a special cap for the piercing tool.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The figure shows a peeler according to an embodiment of the present invention,
Figure 1 is a front view, Figure 2 is a side view, Figure 3 is a front view of the state in which it is used separately, Figures 4 and 5 are taken along lines A to A and B to B in Figure 1. A cross-sectional view is shown. 1 is an instrument main body, 1' is a gripping part, 1a and 1b are instrument bodies, 2 is a cutting tool, 6 is a cylindrical body, and 7 is a piercing tool.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In a peeler that has a cutting tool on one end of the instrument body with the middle section being a gripping section for fingers, the instrument main body is divided into two parts at the part opposite to the cutting tool from the gripping section, and A skin characterized in that one of the instrument bodies that can be divided into two is provided with a storage cylindrical body on the side of the instrument body equipped with the cutting tool, and the other instrument body is equipped with a piercing tool facing each other.
