Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention consists of a base plate, a fixed cutter plate provided near one end of the base plate, a support base that is slidable in the axial direction of the base plate, and a crank mounted on this support base. It is equipped with a rotatable pressing plate, and vegetables such as root vegetables are sandwiched between the fixed center member provided on the cutlery plate and the pressing plate, and the vegetables are shaped like sashimi by turning the crank handle. The applicant was the first to develop a rotary vegetable cooker designed to shred vegetables into small pieces, and it has been exported not only to Japan but also to Hawaii, the mainland United States, and Brazil, where there are many Japanese residents, and has been well-received. is gaining.

The above-mentioned tool board has a comb blade, which has a row of parallel sharp cutting edges similar to a saw blade, in the cutting section, and a planer blade, which is installed slightly apart from the comb blade in the direction of rotation. It is removably attached radially downward from the center member (preferably formed in the shape of a metal tubular member with a slightly sharpened front end) in a radial or similar position. The vegetables are first cut into parallel concentric circles by the comb blade, and then cut into thin rounds by the planer blade.
The claw-like parts of the sashimi are being removed at high speed.

This invention relates to an improvement of the comb blade used in that case.

The purpose is to make the knife extremely sharp, and also to be extremely easy to manufacture and assemble.
There is no need for screw tightening or caulking when joining, and the parts other than the blade part can be made of synthetic resin or similar materials3.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a combination type comb blade assembly, and the gist of the present invention to achieve this objective is as stated in the claims for utility model registration in the preface.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below, but before explaining the present product itself, let us first explain the rotary vegetable cooker itself to which the present product is installed, as shown in Figures 1 to 3. give a detailed explanation.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a base plate that can be placed on a desk or cooking table (not shown). 2 is a knife board, and base board 1
is fixed upright at or above the end of the Reference numeral 3 denotes a center member fixed to the knife board 2, which is a pipe with a sharp end (of course, a rod-shaped member may also be used), into which the center of a vegetable such as a radish is pushed.

4 is a leaf-shaped knife called a cutting blade or planer blade, which has the effect of cutting vegetables into thin rounds. Reference numeral 5 denotes a comb blade assembly, which is the object of the present invention to be improved, and FIG. 2 shows the comb blade assembly after improvement.

Fig. 3 shows a conventionally known comb blade, which is cut out and formed from a single sheet of mild steel. 5a' is the main body part, and 5b' is the comb blade action part, which are not obvious at first glance. Probably.

Now, the proposed comb blade assembly is an improved version of this comb blade.The comb blade assembly shown in Figure 4 is a piece of the blade that looks like a diagonally cut safety razor blade, but of course it is made in one piece. Or, as seen in stationery cutters, it may be made by cutting a number of diagonally parallel lines into a belt-shaped cutter sheet and then folding the lines to form a shape.Specific aspects of the manufacturing method is not intended to limit the invention of the present case to only that.

This may be as shown in A or B in Fig. 4, but the opposite end of the cutting edge a or b may be perpendicular to the long side edge, even if it is not particularly oblique. It may be a placement.

What is shown as a plan view and a cross-sectional view in FIG. 5 and denoted by the reference numeral 6 is a blade support member that supports the blade piece A or B, and is provided with a groove 6a in the longitudinal direction and in the center, and has a groove 6a on both sides. Side projections 6b and 6c
is provided with a large number of lateral grooves 6d extending in the transverse direction and parallel to each other. The cutter pieces A or B are inserted one by one into these lateral grooves 6d with the cutting edge portions a or b protruding and are almost fixed.

Once the preliminary assembly is completed in this way, a three-part assembly is created by inserting the cutting edge part a or b into the open box-shaped exterior body 7 with the cutting edge part a or b protruding. Appropriate slot 8 provided in
Just fit it inside and you're done. Of course, although not shown in the figure, this installation may be done by means such as using a set screw or applying adhesive, but it is also possible to use means such as providing small plate-shaped stops at both ends of the bottom of the slot 8. By this means, it is possible to fix the image reliably and removably.

To use, move the sliding pressure plate 9 on the base plate 1 from side to side in FIG.
When a vegetable (not shown) is placed between the handle 1 and the crank handle 12 while pushing the press plate 9 to the left in Fig. 1, the crank plate 10 at the end rotates together with the vegetables. First, the tip of the vegetable touches the multiple cutting blades a or b of the cutter assembly 5, cutting into multiple concentric circles, and then comes into contact with the planer blade 4 to cut into rings, resulting in the above two actions. , resulting in strips of sashimi-like vegetables.
After the planer blade 4, it is discharged from a discharge slot (not shown) located directly below it, exits from the back of the knife board 2, and is collected in a dish-like receiver (not shown).

A conventionally known comb blade that is closest to the proposed product is to make a large number of blade pieces that are close to strips (however, the cutting edges have beveled edges), and then separate them from each other and drill two holes. These blade pieces and a separator similar to Patsukin with two holes drilled in the same way are arranged alternately, and each of these two hole rows is filled with one brass piece. Already on the market are products in which a rod is passed through and both ends are caulked to form a single unit. However, this type of tool is extremely difficult not only to manufacture, but also to assemble, and in particular, it is necessary to drill holes in the hard steel blade piece, so it is necessary to process it before hardening.
It was extremely inconvenient to process and assemble.

However, according to the present invention, the blade pieces are shaped like the blade of a safety razor cut diagonally, and there are no holes, so it is extremely easy to manufacture, and moreover, it is possible to support the blade pieces. The support member is preferably made of synthetic resin or rubber, and is a multi-groove body with a large number of parallel support grooves, and a multi-groove body with a cutter piece inserted into each of the support grooves with the cutting edge protruding. The casing body that holds the strip from three circumferences can also be made of synthetic resin or rubber if necessary, eliminating the need for caulking, screwing, or drilling the two support rods. Therefore, the requirements for easy manufacturing and easy assembly can be fully fulfilled. In addition, the cutlery is not made from soft steel that is punched and formed using conventional methods, but instead is made from hard steel, which provides excellent sharpness and long-lasting sharpness.

Although the outer case has been described as having a separate structure, it may also be formed by injection molding in a partially cast-in type so as to hold the three sides of the cutler piece support member 6. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

Note that the vertical groove 6a of the blade piece support member 6 is omitted,
A transverse groove may be provided passing therethrough.
