Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a squeezer for extracting fluid or semi-liquid materials stored in plastic bags or bags made of soft metal such as aluminum foil.

BACKGROUND ART Recently, it has become common for food products to be sold on the market sealed in plastic bags, aluminum foil bags, or the like.

When opening the bag and taking out the stored items, the fluidity and
In the case of semi-fluid products, the bag is pinched with one's fingers and the contents are gradually pushed out, but it is difficult to remove the contents completely in one go, and the above operation must be repeated many times.

In addition, in the case of so-called retort food, which is heated in a sealed bag in boiling water for 3 to 10 minutes and then taken out of the bag and eaten, the contents are so hot that it is difficult to pick or push them out with your fingers. cannot be removed quickly and sufficiently.

The present invention was proposed to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a squeezer that is easy to handle and can be produced at low cost.

The present invention is a squeezer comprising a pair of clamping arms that are connected via a fulcrum member and are rotatably opposed to each other, and an opening blade is attached to one side of the arm.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a gripper main body, which is composed of a pair of arm bodies 2 and 2'.

Each arm body 2, 2' has an inner surface 21.21' made of a smooth rod or plate, and its base end is fixed to a common fulcrum so that the inner surfaces 21.21' face each other. It is rotatably connected.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a bendable thin plate integrally formed with the arm bodies 2 and 2' is used as the fulcrum member.

Note that the arm bodies 2, 2' may be formed individually, and a pivot pin may be attached to one end of each arm body to rotatably connect them.

In this case, a spring 4, which will be described later, can be fixed to the pin.

A cutting blade 3 is attached to the tip of the arm 2.

In order to provide this blade 3, a concave notch 2a is provided at the tip of the arm 2, and the blade 3 is provided inside the arm 2.
The system is designed to ensure safety.

This blade body can be configured to slide and be stored in the arm body 2 as shown in FIG. 2, so that the blade body 3 can be taken out only when opening the package, making it even safer.

In the embodiment, a spring 4 fixed to a pin 2C is provided near the fulcrum of the arm bodies 2, 2', and the spring 4 springs the arm bodies 2 and 2' apart in a normal state.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a stopper attached to the tip of the arm body 2', and by turning it on one arm body 2, both arm bodies 2
, 2' are provided so that they can be locked and fixed with a slight gap.

A shallow concave groove 2b for finger insertion on the outer back surface of each arm body 2, 2';
It is preferable for extrusion operation that 2b' be provided along the longitudinal direction.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5a and 5b, the arm body 2
By providing the rollers 8a and 8b facing each other at 2', the frictional resistance with the bag body 7 can be reduced and the squeezing operation can be made easier.

That is, the rollers 8 a and 8 b are loosely fitted in the longitudinal direction of the arms 2 and 2' so that a portion of their circumferential surfaces are slightly exposed at the opposing inner surfaces 21 and 21' of the arms.

Note that it is also an embodiment of the present invention to provide a roller only on either one of the arms 2 or 2'.

In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a hanging member protruding from one end of the clamp body 1.

In use, first, the seal of the bag body 7 is cut with the blade body 3, as shown in FIG. 3a.

At this time, since the blade part 3a of the blade body is inclined, the arm body 2
The seal can be easily opened by moving the clamp main body 1 or the bag body 7 in the longitudinal direction.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3b, the bottom end of the bag 7 is sandwiched between the arm bodies 2 and 2', and the stopper 5 is hooked onto the arm body 2 and rotated to fix it under pressure.

Then, while grasping one end of the clamp body 1 with the fingers of one hand, pinch the bottom edge 7a of the bag body 7 with the fingers of the other hand,
The contents of the bag are pushed out by sliding the clamp main body 1 in the direction of arrow A or pulling out the bag 7 in the direction of arrow B.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and the contents of the bag body 7 can be squeezed out completely without waste in a single process, and the operation is simple.

Moreover, since the surface of the arm body that clamps the bag body 7 is a smooth convex curved surface in the direction of movement of the bag body, the bag body or the clamping member can be smoothly moved.

Particularly in the case of retort food, the hand holding the clamp main body 1 does not directly touch the bag body 7, so the contents can be easily squeezed out even when it is quite hot.

Furthermore, if the arms 2, 2' are provided with grooves for inserting fingers as in the embodiment of the present invention, the gripping tool main body 1 can be gripped more reliably, and the squeezing operation becomes even easier.

Moreover, by setting the blade 3, the seal of the bag body 7 can be easily cut without using other blades such as scissors or a cutter.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hanging member 6 allows it to be hung on a wall or the like, making it convenient for storage.

The squeezing device of the present invention can be molded into various materials such as metal, wood, and synthetic resin, and in particular, mass production is facilitated by integrally forming the clamp body 1 from synthetic resin as shown in the drawing. It has the advantage of being available at a low price.
