DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a peeler which efficiently removes skin and thin skin enclosing garlic bulbs used as medicinal and seasonings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Garlic bulbs, which are perennials of the lily family, are widely used as medicinal or seasonings. The garlic is composed of small lumps with thin skin and large lumps of many small lumps with rough skin. When used, the garlic is used after removing the rough skin and thin skin. The only way to remove skins, of course, was to peel them by hand.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When peeling garlic, it is still a very fine handwork to peel the thin skin by hand, but it is inefficient and also damages the bulb. It is easy for a strong stimulating liquid leached from the wound to enter the tip of the nail and hurt the fingertips. For a person with weak skin, the hand is roughened only by the adhesion of the liquid. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a peeler which can efficiently remove rough skin and thin skin without damaging fingers and skin when using garlic.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, a flat plate 3 made of elastic material, such as sponge rubber, is provided on the bottom 2 of a container body 1, and the upper surface of the flat surface 3 is A raw rubber plate 6 having a projection 5 is fixed to the inner wall surface 4 of the main body 1 so that the projection 5 faces inward of the container main body 1, and an upper lid 7 is detachably attached to the upper end of the container main body 1. At the same time, a shaft 9 having an inner lid 8 provided at the end thereof is inserted into the center of the upper lid 7, and the lower surface of the inner lid 8 has a flat plate 3 made of a resilient body such as sponge rubber and a projection 5. The raw rubber plate 6 is fixed in this order so that the projection 5 faces downward, and a spring 10 for constantly pushing down the inner lid 8 is provided between the upper surface of the inner lid 8 and the lower surface of the upper lid 7. At the same time, a handle 11 for rotating the shaft 9 is provided above the shaft 9. It is obtained by the phrase of the peeler.

[0005] The container body 1, the inner lid 8 and the upper lid 7 may be made of any material, but it is preferably made of plastic because it is light, strong and does not rust, and transparent plastic is particularly preferable.

The container body 1 and the upper lid 7 need to be detachable, but when peeling the skin, the garlic 12 is put in the container body 1 and the inner lid 8 is placed on the garlic 12 to remove the upper lid 7. When the is mounted on the container body 1, the upper cover 7 and the container body 1 are engaged with each other so as not to be separated so that the upper cover 7 does not come off from the container body 1 due to the repulsive force of the spring 10. If necessary, the container body 1 is detachable so that it can be detached. For this purpose, for example, a thread is provided on the container body 1 and the container body 1 is detachable by screwing with the thread of the upper lid 7. Will be

The flat plate 3 used in the present invention is a elastic body such as rubber or sponge rubber, and by applying elastic pressing force at all times during operation, the garlic is hardly damaged, and the raw rubber plate 6 is hardly damaged. Is effective in peeling off the rough skin and the thin skin.

The raw rubber plate 6 used in the present invention is also a flat plate 3
Similarly to the above, the elasticity of the raw rubber plate 6 cooperates with the elasticity of the flat plate 3, and the projections 5 are effective for peeling off the rough skin or thin skin. The shape of the projection 5 may be various, such as a sharp tip, a circular shape, or a spherical shape. However, the shape of the projection 5 cannot be constant because it differs depending on the pressing force of the inner lid 7 against the garlic to be peeled. Further, the projections 5 may be planted on the raw rubber plate 6 or may be formed integrally with the raw rubber plate 6.

FIG. 4 is a longitudinal side view showing an example of the embodiment of the upper part of the container body, and FIG.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of FIG.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, and a bottom 2 has a flat plate 3
And the flat plate 3 is not fixed to the bottom 2. The flat plate 3 is also made of an elastic body such as sponge rubber. Reference numeral 6 denotes a raw rubber plate, on the surface of which a projection 5 is provided. The raw rubber plate 6 is fixed on the flat plate 3 by bonding or other means with the projection 5 facing upward.
Further, the raw rubber plate 6 is fixed by bonding or other means around the inner wall surface 4 of the container body 1 with the projection 5 inward. Reference numeral 7 denotes an upper cover, which is detachably provided at the upper end of the container body 1, a shaft 9 is inserted through the center of the upper cover 7, and an inner cover 8 is fixed to a tip of the shaft 9. A raw rubber plate 6 provided with the flat plate 3 and the projections 5 is fixed to the lower surface of the inner lid 8 by bonding or other means in this order with the projections 5 downward. Reference numeral 10 denotes a spring,
Is attached between the lower surface of the inner lid 8 and the upper surface of the inner lid 8.
Is provided to always push down the inner lid 8 downward. Reference numeral 11 denotes a handle provided on the shaft 9. For peeling, the handle 9 rotates the shaft 9 to peel the garlic 12 put in the container body 1.

An upper lid 7 inserted around a shaft 9 having an inner lid 8 at its tip is detachable from the container body 1 and has an upper lid 7
When is mounted on the container body 1, the upper lid 7 must be maintained on the container body 1 against the repulsive force of the spring 10 mounted between the upper lid 7 and the inner lid 8. This is performed by screwing the upper lid 7 and the container body 1, and an example thereof may be shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, which will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, tongue pieces 13 projecting inward are provided at a plurality of locations on the edge of the upper lid 7. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, two upper and lower ring pieces 14, 14 'projecting outward are formed at the upper end of the container body 1, and a groove 15 is formed between the ring pieces 14, 14'. This ring piece 14, 1
Notches 16 are formed at a plurality of locations on the upper ring piece 4 of 4 '. The notch 16 is provided at a position corresponding to the position of the tongue 13 provided on the upper lid 7. As a result, the tongue piece 13 of the upper lid 7 is aligned with the position of the notch 16,
After the tongue piece 13 is placed on the ring piece 14 ', the tongue piece 13 is slid in the groove 15 formed between the ring pieces 14 and 14' by rotating the upper lid 7, and stopped. As long as the tongue piece 13 is in the groove 15 between the ring pieces 14 and 14 ′, the inner lid 7 will not be detached from the container body 1 even by the repulsive force of the spring 10. In order to remove the upper cover 7, an operation reverse to the above operation may be performed.

In order to peel garlic using this peeler, garlic is put in the container body 1. At this time, the garlic may be a small lump from which the skin has been removed to some extent, or may be a large lump from which the skin is not removed. When the garlic has been placed, the inner lid 8 is inserted therein, the upper lid 7 is attached to the container main body 1, and then the handle 11 is turned, whereby the garlic skin and skin are peeled off. When the peeling is completed, the upper lid 7 is detached from the container main body 1, and the peeled garlic is taken out.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the garlic between the inner lid 8 and the bottom 2 is pressed down from above by an appropriate pressing force of the spring 10 so that the garlic is pressed down from above. While rolling in the container body 1 by the rotation of the lid 8, the rubbing between the garlic and the protrusion 5 of the raw rubber plate 6 causes not only the rough skin but also the thin skin to be peeled off. During this time, the garlic becomes a frictional force between the individual garlic chunks by combining the elasticity of the flat plate 3 made of a pallet body such as sponge rubber and the elasticity of the raw rubber plate 6 with the pressing force of the spring 10 in a unified manner. Also raw rubber plate 6
The projections 5 are suitable for rolling the individual garlic lumps and rubbing each other to remove the skin, and the projections 5 themselves are extremely suitable for removing the rough skin and the skin of the garlic lumps. Thus, a skin remover capable of easily peeling off the rough or thin skin of garlic, which has been the most unfavorable in the past, without soiling or damaging the hands can be provided.
