Description of the Related Art When manufacturing tempura, first, flour is powdered into the tempura ingredients, then the tempura ingredients are put on a flat table placed in a heating oil tank, and the tempura ingredients are placed from above. The clothing liquid for flowering is applied by the clothing liquid injection device.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Tempura flower blooming clothing is an uneven clothing formed on the outer periphery of a clothing covered with tempura ingredients, and the uneven clothing has just bloomed. Because it is such a form, it is commonly called Hanasakii.

[0004] The life of tempura must be finished not only in the clothing coated with the tempura ingredients, but also in the flowering clothing. In addition, the flowering clothing is formed around the tempura ingredients to improve the appearance.

However, in the above conventional manufacturing method,
Tempura ingredients placed on a flat table easily float in the heated oil tank and float. When this tempura material floats and floats,
The clothing liquid dropping from the clothing liquid ejecting device at a certain position is detached from the clothing liquid, and a defective clothing liquid is applied. Therefore, it has been an issue to manufacture a tempura with a good shape in such a manner that the tempura material is applied with a coating liquid by a coating liquid injection device and does not float and float until the clothing is heated and solidified to some extent.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a jig for manufacturing a tempura, which solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the gist of the present invention is to provide a jig for supporting a tempura material in a fryer containing oil at a required temperature. On the tool receiving surface of the jig plate supporting the tool, all the cutting edges parallel to the tool receiving surface are oriented in the same direction, and the serrated edges cascaded at the required pitch, and the flat tool between the pitch of each edge It has a material supporting surface and a concave notch.

Also, a jig for supporting a tempura tool material in a fryer containing oil at a required temperature, wherein all the cutting edges parallel to the tool material receiving surface are directed in the same direction on the tempura tool material receiving surface. The edge plates are tandemly arranged at the required pitch.

A plurality of jig plates 1 are mounted in a row between the pair of left and right chains, and are mounted at regular intervals in a column. When the jig plate 1 is attached to the conveyor 14, as shown in FIG. 8, the edge of the edge 5 is arranged to be opposite to the moving direction of the conveyor 14.

[0015] A nozzle 18 of a liquid applicator is disposed immediately above the jig plate 1 which has been turned upward from the sprocket 13b side. The liquid is applied.

The direction of the cutting edge of the edge 5 is set on the conveyor 14.
The jig plate 1 disposed on the conveyor 14 so as to face in the opposite direction to the moving direction is turned upward from the sprocket 13b side, and moves in the direction of arrow B in FIG. Then, the tempura ingredient 7 is supplied and supported on the jig plate 1 which has been turned upward from the sprocket 13b side, and the flowering clothing liquid is applied to the tempura ingredient 7 from the nozzle 18 of the clothing liquid applying device.

It is an important condition that the tempura utensil 7 on which the flowering clothing liquid is applied is located below the oil level, but the tempura utensil 7 floats on the oil surface 12a by buoyancy. Conventionally, the tempura utensil 7 is pressed under the oil level with chopsticks to form a flower-blowing garment, but such an inefficient operation cannot be performed in a mass production factory. However, according to the present invention, the flowering garment attached to the tempura material 7 enters the concave portion 4 between the pitches of the edges 5, and the concave portion is also provided on the back side of the tempura material 7 in contact with the jig plate 1. The flower-blowing garment that has entered the part 4 forms a flower-blowing garment, and the flower-blowing garment bites into the edge 5 to reliably prevent the tempura ingredient 7 from floating.
