Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel cutter auxiliary tool that can easily and reliably cut out culinary ingredients such as cucumber.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cucumber is a vegetable that makes a summer table entertaining, but it does not change much when cut into pieces like a round bar and served on a plate, or when cut diagonally. However, most households cut into such shapes. The reason is that when I try to cut flowers in a little complicated way, it doesn't work well, and it usually takes a lot of time and it doesn't work. Moreover,
This is because I know that when I cut flowers, I often make mistakes that the material becomes useless. And, more than anything else, he couldn't wait until the flower-cut cucumbers decorate the table.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in order to cut off culinary ingredients such as cucumber, a kitchen knife requires a considerable skill like a cook until now. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cutter assisting tool that enables anyone to easily and quickly cut beautifully decorated cooking ingredients without requiring a considerable technique.

[0004]

To this end, according to the present invention, a gripping body and an axial slide along a slide groove of the gripping body, and a tip blade portion thereof projects from an opening at one end. A flat plate-shaped insertion blade and a pair of upper and lower opposed holding plates that are elastically pivotally attached to the opening side of the gripping body are provided. While holding and fixing the cooking material, slide the insertion blade along the slide groove provided in the grip body to make the body portion of the cooking material horizontal, and insert the cooking material in an orthogonal manner. The present invention is characterized in that a decorative cutter is cut by cutting with a different cutter from an upside down inclined guide groove provided in a holding portion of a holding plate.

[0005]

In the cutter assisting tool having the above-described structure, the pair of upper and lower holding plates are opened to hold and fix the cooking material such as cucumber at the substantially central portion of the holding portion, and then the holding body is held. A flat plate-shaped insertion blade that is thinner than the front end opening, pushes the tip blade to make the body of the cooking material horizontal, and inserts it in an orthogonal manner, and then insert another cutter between the pair of holding plates. Insert it along the upside-down inclined guide groove of the holding part and cut it, so that decorative cutting is completed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. In these figures, the flat plate-shaped rectangular gripping body 10 has a pair of upper and lower gripping plates 11.
Is formed by joining and fixing the front and rear end portions 12 and 13 in the longitudinal direction thereof and opening the slide grooves 14 on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and at the central portion in the longitudinal direction thereof, The direction elongated hole 15 and a small arc-shaped engaging portion 16 are provided at the center of the rear portion of the elongated hole.

The grip body 10 has slide grooves 14 on both sides thereof.
An insertion blade 17 is provided that slides along the axis in the axial direction. This insertion blade 17 is a thin plate rectangular blade, and its tip blade portion 18 has an inverted V shape, and a pair of knobs 19 and a pair of knobs behind the knobs are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the central portion thereof slightly rearward. The stopper blade 20 has a stopper projection 20, and the insertion blade 17 is pushed horizontally in the same direction along the slide groove 14 by pushing the knob 19 with the finger in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in FIG. The blade portion 18 is pushed outward from the front opening 12 and is returned to the original position by pushing in the opposite direction.

On the front opening side of the grip body 10, a pair of upper and lower holding plates 21 are elastically pivoted to face each other.
The pair of holding plates 21 are arcuate holding portions 22 for holding the cooking material A such as cucumber and a slightly arcuate tip portion 23 and the holding portion 22 which are integrally connected to the holding portions 22. And the rear end has a knob 24 that is slightly outwardly expanded, and the upper and lower holding portions 22 are held by the holding portion 22 and the insertion blade 17 is horizontally inserted. Oblique guide grooves 25 for decoratively cutting the raw material A with a cutter (not shown) are provided upside down. Then, the pair of holding plates 21 have support portions 26 formed on both sides of each of the grip portions 24, which are overlapped with each other, and these are pivotally connected to both side surfaces of the grip body 10 by a shaft rod 27. Each axis rod 27
A coil spring 28 is wound around the free end 29 of the coil spring 28.
Is held by the upper holding plate 21 and the other free end 30 is held by the lower holding plate 21, and the material A is elastically held by the elastic force of the coil spring 28 at the substantially central portion of the upper and lower holding portions 22. Is ready to go.

To cut off the cooking material A such as cucumber with the cutter auxiliary tool having the above construction,
First, as shown in FIG. 1, the insertion blade 17 is pushed up and down by pushing the upper and lower knobs 24 with both fingers while the stopper projection 20 is locked by the engaging portion 16 and is inside the grip body 10. The holding plate 21 is expanded and the material A is held at the substantially central portion of the holding portion 22. Then, while holding the blade holder 10 and pushing the knob 19 with a finger, the knob 19 is moved until it is locked to the front end of the elongated hole 15, and the insertion blade 17 is horizontally pushed out from the front end opening 12, and the tip blade The substantially central region of the body A of the material A is inserted through the portion 18 in an orthogonal shape (so-called skewered shape). In this case, the insertion blade 17 is pushed out to the maximum,
The tip blade portion 18 is protected in the space 31 formed by the tip portions 23 of the upper and lower holding plates 21, so that the tip blade portion 18 does not abut the holding plate.
Next, a cutter such as a knife prepared separately is moved while cutting the material A along one oblique guide groove 25,
After finishing, turn over and similarly move the material A while cutting the material A along the other guide groove 25.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, cooking ingredients such as cucumbers are held and fixed at the substantially central portions of the upper and lower holding plate holding portions, and the substantially central portion of the body portion is gripped. Insert it in an orthogonal shape with an insertion blade that is pushed out horizontally from the body,
Since the material can be cut with a knife such as a knife along each diagonal guide groove of the upper and lower holding plates, it is easy to operate, no special skill is required, and everyone has a uniform cut shape. This makes it easy to cut off ornaments and can be done quickly.
