Description

  The present invention relates to a slicer for slicing foodstuffs such as vegetables and ham, and more particularly to a slicer having a pressing tool for holding down vegetables that have become smaller.

  With this kind of slicer, if you slice vegetables and ham to form ingredients, the sliced vegetables will become smaller, and if you continue to operate, your fingers and hands will become the slicer blade. Contact can cause injury. In order to avoid such a thing, the pressing tool which presses down the reduced vegetable to the slicer side is used.

  In addition, after use, the slicer and presser must be cleaned and cleaned up in consideration of the next use.

Various slicers having such a pressing tool have been proposed in, for example, Patent Document 1 and the like.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-169306, abstract, representative diagram, 0004 to 0006

  In the manual slicer of this patent document 1, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. The plate is fitted into the receiving container, has a U-shaped gripping part 4 or a gripping part of 23-shaped engagement arm on both the left and right sides, a finger rest part 3 on the front part, or a protective edge 26 of the hand and thumb It has a configuration in which a slide container 1a having a vegetable container in the center is inserted through the guide edge of the receiving device or the cutting plate and has an intermediate pressing tool and a final pressing tool for pressing vegetables. Therefore, it is thought that there are the following inconveniences.

  In the cooking slicer of this Patent Document 1, as described in Paragraph 0005 of the document, as the size of the material to be sliced becomes smaller, the entire constituent member must be changed or converted. It is considered that the number of parts used for home use is too large, and the change according to the situation is forced, and its use is very complicated.

  Further, in the cooking slicer described in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and as described in paragraph 0004 of the document, “the upper part of the pressing tool 8.11 is used. Since the slide container auxiliary support cover 6 having the projecting opening 7 is adopted, the “slide container auxiliary support cover 6” and the “vegetable bowl 2” are greatly projected upward, In addition to making the operation unstable during the slicing operation, when storing it without using it, it is a so-called “poor tidy”.

  In general, when working with this type of slicer, whether the vegetable is large or small, it is sufficient that the fixed position of the vegetable to the slicer can be fixed easily, and in that case It suffices if there is no contact of the blade body.

  In other words, as long as the vegetable is large, the presser need not be engaged with the slicer body as long as it can move freely. It should be possible to move at a certain position (usually parallel movement) with respect to the slicer body. And it is considered that it is sufficient that the presser can be fixed to the slicer main body so that both do not fall apart only when the slicer is put away.

  Also, this type of slicer has a blade for slicing as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and this blade is exposed on the upper surface of the slice body. For this reason, if a finger is inadvertently touching the blade, it may be possible to be injured, but this must be prevented as much as possible. Such a case occurs when the slicer that has been cleared is taken out of the drawer or the like to perform a slicing operation, or when the slicer is finished after use.

  Therefore, the present inventors can perform slicing to the end so that the finger is not injured by the presser regardless of whether the material to be sliced is large or small. As a result of various investigations on how to make an improved slicer, the present invention has been completed.

  That is, the object of the present invention is that the structure and method of use are simple, the slicing operation can be performed lightly and quietly, and it is suitable as a cooking device for home use. The object of the present invention is to provide a slicer with a presser that can be sliced up to a maximum and that is easy to clean.

In order to solve the above problems, the means taken by the present invention will be described with reference numerals used in the description of the best mode to be described later.
“A slicer 100 with a pressing tool that is configured to perform slicing by reciprocating the pressing tool 20 toward the blade body 11 while pressing the material to be sliced onto the slice body 10 by the pressing tool 20,
The presser 20 has engaging arms 23 that are parallel to the guide edges 12 located on both sides of the slicer body 10, and a stopper 30 is assembled to the outside of each engaging arm 23 so as to be movable up and down. ,
The locking projections 32 of these stoppers 30 are projected toward the stopper grooves 13 formed in the guide edges 12 of the slicer body 10 through the locking projection holes 25 formed in the respective engagement arms 23,
Slicer 100 with presser, wherein the presser 20 is fixed to the slicer body 10 when the locking projection 32 is engaged with the stopper groove 13 "
It is.

  That is, the slicer 100 with a pressing tool according to the present invention is directed toward the blade 11 of the slice body 10 shown in FIG. 2 while pressing the material to be sliced onto the slice body 10 by the pressing tool 20 as shown in FIG. The material to be sliced is sliced by reciprocating the presser 20.

  In this slicer 100 with a presser, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the presser 20 has engaging arms 23 that are parallel to the guide edges 12 located on both sides of the slicer body 10, respectively. The engaging arm 23 is engaged with the slicer body 10. In other words, the material to be sliced such as vegetables is used so as to be always pressed onto the slicer body 10 by the presser 20, and the lower end of each engagement arm 23 is the guide edge 12 on the slicer body 10 side. Only when the material to be sliced becomes small enough to be engaged with each other, the engagement arms 23 are engaged with the slicer body 10.

  In other words, the holding tool 20 that holds the material to be sliced is held until the presser 20 is engaged with the slicer body 10 by the respective engagement arms 23, that is, while the material to be sliced is sufficiently large. You can freely change the direction and angle of your hand. For this reason, the operator can perform the slicing operation while changing the holding method and the angle of the presser 20 so that the wrist and the arm are not tired.

  When the material to be sliced becomes so small that the lower end of each engagement arm 23 is engaged with each guide edge 12 on the slicer body 10 side, the operator moves each engagement arm 23 to the slicer body 10 side. The final slicing operation is performed by adjusting the holding angle of the presser 20 so as to engage with the guide edge 12. Of course, if the lower end of each engagement arm 23 is engaged with each guide edge 12 on the slicer body 10 side, the presser 20 can be moved not only in parallel to the slicer body 10 but also reduced in size. Since the material is always reciprocated at a constant angle with respect to the blade 11 on the slicer body 10 side, the material to be sliced is sliced until the slicer body 10 and the presser 20 are in the positional relationship shown in FIG. It will be.

  At the time of the above slicing operation, as shown in FIG. 3B, each stopper 30 is moved upward and is not engaged with the slicer body 10 side, and the slicer body of the presser 20 Needless to say, movement relative to 10 is free.

  Now, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 (a), the stopper 30 is assembled to the outside of each engagement arm 23 of the presser 20 so that it can be moved up and down. The slicer body 10 and the presser 20 that have been cleaned afterwards are fixed to each other using the stoppers 30.

  Fixing by each stopper 30 is performed by pushing down from the state shown in FIG. 3B to the state shown in FIG. As a result, the locking protrusion 32 of each stopper 30 passes through the locking protrusion hole 25 of each engagement arm 23 of the presser 20 as shown in FIG. Projecting toward the stopper groove 13 formed in each guide edge 12 of the main body 10.

  As a result, the locking protrusions 32 are engaged with the stopper grooves 13 on the slicer body 10 side, so that the presser 20 is fixed to the slicer body 10 side by the stopper 30. When the presser 20 is fixed to the slicer main body 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the blade body 11 of the slicer main body 10 is covered by the presser 20, or the fingers are cut by the presence of the presser 20. 11 is less likely to come into contact with the user, so that the user does not inadvertently touch the blade 11 with his / her fingers when removing or taking out the slicer 100 with a pressing tool, or the injury is reduced. Yes.

  If the presser 20 is fixed to the slicer body 10, the slicer body 10 and the presser 20 constituting the presser 20 are not separated when the slicer 100 with a presser is used next time. Needless to say, there is no need to search for the blade body 11 because the blade body 11 is covered with the presser 20 or the finger is difficult to contact, so that it can be safely taken out. Of course, since each stopper 30 is attached to the presser 20 side, it will not disappear.

  With respect to the slicer with a pressing tool 100 taken out, the stoppers 30 are in the state shown in FIG. 3A. Therefore, the stopper 30 is raised to the state shown in FIG. It goes without saying that if the fixing to the slicer body 10 is released, the above-mentioned use state is restored.

  Therefore, the slicer with a pressing tool 100 according to the present invention is simple in configuration and usage, can perform the slicing operation lightly and quietly, and is suitable as a cooking device for home use, regardless of the state of the material to be sliced. It can be sliced all the way to the end, and it's easy to clean up.

As described above, in the present invention,
“A slicer 100 with a pressing tool that is configured to perform slicing by reciprocating the pressing tool 20 toward the blade body 11 while pressing the material to be sliced onto the slice body 10 by the pressing tool 20,
The presser 20 has engaging arms 23 that are parallel to the guide edges 12 located on both sides of the slicer body 10, and a stopper 30 is assembled to the outside of each engaging arm 23 so as to be movable up and down. ,
The locking projections 32 of these stoppers 30 are projected toward the stopper grooves 13 formed in the guide edges 12 of the slicer body 10 through the locking projection holes 25 formed in the respective engagement arms 23,
When the locking protrusion 32 is engaged with the stopper groove 13, the presser 20 is fixed to the slicer body 10. "
There is a characteristic in the structure, and it is easy to configure and use, can perform the slicing work lightly and quietly and is suitable as a cooking device for home use, regardless of the state of the material to be sliced. It is possible to provide the slicer 100 with a presser which can be sliced to the end and can be cleaned up.

  That is, the slicer 100 with a pressing tool according to the present invention is used when the material to be sliced has a certain thickness (specifically, a thickness equal to or larger than the height of each engaging arm 23 on the pressing tool 20 side). Since the holding tool 20 can be freely held and moved freely, the slicing operation can be performed freely and without fatigue, between the fingers and the blade 11 on the slicer body 10 side. Since the presser 20 can be interposed, the slicing operation can be made safe.

  In addition, when the slicer with a pressing tool 100 has a material to be sliced having a certain thickness (specifically, the thickness of each engaging arm 23 on the pressing tool 20 side) or less, If the slicing operation is performed so that each engaging arm 23 on the presser 20 side is engaged with the outside of the guide edge 12 on the slicer body 10 side, the thickness of the material to be sliced becomes the slicer body 10 shown in FIG. The material to be sliced can be sliced until the dimension between the projections 24 and the tips of the projections 24 is reached, and the fingers 20 can be protected during this time.

  Furthermore, the presser 20 can be fixed to the side of the slicer body 10 by the stopper 30, and of course, the fixed state of the slicer 100 with the presser can be improved, and the presser 20 can be improved. This prevents the fingers from touching the blade body 11, so that safety at the time of cleaning and removal can be ensured.

  Next, the present invention configured as described above will be described with respect to the slicer with a pressing member 100 which is the best mode shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, the pressing member 20 is fixed to the slicer body 10 by the left and right stoppers 30. A perspective view is shown, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view in a state where the presser 20 is completely removed.

  That is, the slicer with a pressing tool 100 according to the best mode includes the slicer body 10, the pressing tool 20, and the stoppers 30 attached to the left and right of the pressing tool 20. The pressing tool 20 is reciprocated toward the blade body 11 while being pressed on the slicing body 10 to perform slicing.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the slicer body 10 has the most general shape, but a handle for holding the slicer body 10 by hand is formed on the left side of the figure. Further, the blade body 11 is provided in an inclined shape in the middle of the slicer body 10 so that when the material to be sliced is reciprocated on the slicer body 10, the blade body 11 can be sliced from the left side of the figure. It has become.

  Further, both sides of the slicer body 10 are guide edges 12 parallel to each other, and a stopper groove 13 is formed at a substantially central portion of each guide edge 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the stopper groove 13 is largely open in the lateral direction of the guide edge 12 so that a locking projection 32 on the stopper 30 side described later can easily enter, but the upper end of the stopper groove 13 is It is covered with a locking step 13a. The locking step portion 13a not only serves as a guide for ensuring the sliding movement of the engagement arm 23 on the side of the presser 20, but is also provided in the stopper groove 13 as shown in FIG. The engaging protrusion 32 on the stopper 30 side that is engaged is not easily removed. The tip of the locking projection 32 on the stopper 30 side moves over the outer surface of the locking step 13a as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). The change at the time of movement is performed by elastic deformation of an elastic plate 31 on the stopper 30 side which will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 2, an alignment 15 indicating the presence of the stopper groove 13 is attached to the upper surface of the guide edge 12 located in the vicinity of the stopper groove 13. This alignment 15 indicates a position for fixing a later-described presser 20 constituting the slicer 100 with a presser, and the presser 20 is formed of a transparent or translucent material, or is described later. By enlarging the stop projection hole 25, it can be seen even if the presser 20 is put on the slicer body 10. When the pressing tool 20 is fixed at the position indicated by the alignment 15, as shown in FIG. 1, the entire blade body 11 can be covered with the pressing tool 20, and when cleaning and taking out are performed. In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent the user's fingers from inadvertently touching the blade body 11.

  In the presser 20 according to the best mode, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the ball hooking edge 14 is formed on the front and rear portions of the lower end surface of the guide edge 12. These ball hanging edges 14 are used when supporting the presser 20 on the ball, and by engaging the upper edge of the ball with the ball hooking edge 14, Support.

  On the other hand, the presser 20 constituting the slicer 100 with the presser is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, each of which is parallel to the guide edges 12 located on both sides of the slicer body 10. It has a joint arm 23. As shown in FIG. 3, each engaging arm 23 has a height about the plate thickness of the slicer body 10 and is movable in parallel with each guide edge 12. FIG. The engagement structure inserted into the slicer body 10 side as in the conventional example shown is not provided.

  In addition, since the presser 20 is held by hand and moves on the slicer body 10, two handles 21 that are easy to hold between the gripper as shown in FIG. It is provided so as to be positioned orthogonal to the slice direction. Further, protective plates 22 are integrally formed outside these handles 21 with a space sufficient for putting a finger. The tips of the protective plates 22 are opened outwardly so that fingers can be reliably protected and the handles 21 described above can be easily held.

  In the pressing tool 20 of the best mode, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the pressing tool 20 is stabbed on the surface of the material to be sliced to fix the pressing tool 20 to the material to be sliced. A large number of projections 24 are formed. Of course, each protrusion 24 is for fixing the pressing member 20 to the material to be sliced, and therefore, it is not necessary to make the projection 24 pierced into the material to be sliced as in the best mode. It is enough.

  A stopper 30 (to be described later) is attached to the outer surface of each engagement arm 23 of the presser 20 so that the locking protrusion 32 of the stopper 30 faces the stopper groove 13 side of the slicer body 10. Are provided as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6B. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the locking projection hole 25 is partially visible from the outside even when the presser 20 is fixed to the slicer body 10 by the stopper 30, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. In particular, as shown in (a), the locking protrusion 32 of the stopper 30 is also protruded into the stopper groove 13 of the slicer body 10.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the mounting arm rail 26 that locks the outer side of the stopper 30 is also provided on the engaging arm 23 positioned around the locking projection hole 25. A mounting inner rail 27 for locking the spring 33 on the stopper 30 side is formed slightly inside. That is, each stopper 30 is formed between the outer rail 26 and the inner rail 27 formed as a pair of left and right at the substantially central portion of each engagement arm 23, so that FIG. As shown, it is attached to the presser 20 side. It should be noted that once each stopper 30 is inserted between the outer mounting rail 26 and the inner mounting rail 27, each spring 33 engages with the outer mounting rail 26, so that it cannot be removed.

  Each stopper 30 is integrally molded using so-called “engineering plastic” as a material, and has various functions even if it is very small as shown in FIGS. Is.

  That is, each stopper 30 has a locking protrusion 32 that protrudes toward the stopper groove 13 on the slicer body 10 side, as shown in FIGS. 7D and 7E, for example. As shown in FIG. 7B, the locking protrusion 32 is connected to the left and right support columns 34 via the elastic plate 31. That is, as shown in FIG. 7E, the locking projection 32 is suspended by the elastic plate 31 with the space 35 interposed with respect to the base of the stopper 30. Yes, the elastic plate 31 can bend up and down from the state shown in FIG. 7E by elastically bending.

  The advancement and retraction of the locking projection 32 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3. When the slicer 100 with a pressing tool is used, the locking projection 32 is, for example, shown in FIG. The position is above the locking step 13a at the upper end of the stopper groove 13 on the slicer body 10 side. From this point, when the presser 20 is to be fixed to the slicer body 10 side by the stopper 30, the stopper 30 is set to engage the stopper protrusion 13 of the stopper 30 in the stopper groove 13 on the slicer body 10 side. Push down as shown in FIG. At this time, if it is left as it is, the locking projection 32 is obstructed by the locking step 13a on the slicer body 10 side and cannot go downward, but on the rear side of the locking projection 32, (e ), The space 35 exists, and the locking protrusion 32 is supported by the flexible elastic plate 31. Therefore, the elastic plate 31 is bent and the locking protrusion 32 slightly moves toward the space 35. Get in. At this time, the engagement between the front end of the locking projection 32 and the locking step portion 13a is released, so that the locking projection 32 in the state of FIG. 3B is shown in FIG. It can be in a state of failure.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the stopper 30 has a spring 33 on the outside of each column 34, and the tip of each spring 33 is free. Is inserted between the outer mounting rail 26 and the inner mounting rail 27 on the side of the presser 20, the tips of the springs 33 are engaged with the mounting outer rail 26, and the stopper 30 is detached from the engaging arm 23. It is blocked. That is, the attachment of each stopper 30 to the pressing tool 20 is completed.

  Of course, as shown in FIG. 7C, for example, a finger hook 36 protruding outward is formed on the substrate portion of each stopper 30, and a slip stopper 36a is formed on the upper surface of the finger hook 36. Therefore, the pushing down operation and the pushing up operation of the stopper 30 can be reliably performed.

  As a result, the stoppers 30 are pushed down as shown in FIG. 3A, and the locking protrusions 32 are inserted into the locking protrusion holes 25 formed in the engaging arms 23. By projecting toward the stopper groove 13 formed on the guide edge 12 and engaging the locking projection 32 with the stopper groove 13 on the slicer body 10 side, the presser 20 is securely fixed to the slicer body 10. It will be. Of course, it goes without saying that the pressing tool 20 can be detached from the slicer body 10 by performing the reverse operation.

It is the perspective view seen from the upper part of the slicer with a pressing tool concerning the present invention. It is a perspective view when a pressing tool is removed from the slicer with the pressing tool. It is the figure cut by the line which passes each stopper of the slicer with the same pressing tool, (a) is an expanded sectional view which shows when a locking projection is engaging with a stopper groove, (b) is a locking projection.
