DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a quail egg incision tool for incising quail eggs, and more particularly to a quail egg incision tool that can be easily cut without using a special dedicated tool, and the tool itself is inexpensive. And it is configured to be simple.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Quail eggs are small compared to chicken eggs, and their shells are soft and their skin is durable. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to break raw quail eggs with bare hands.

[0003] For this reason, conventionally, when a quail egg is cut open, a special dedicated tool for cutting only the upper part of the quail egg (eg,
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-135073) is required, and special dedicated tools are not always widely used in each household. In case, it is mainly boiled.

[0004]

As described above, a special dedicated tool is required to cut a quail egg. However, since such a dedicated tool is not widely used in each household, it is simple and inexpensive. It was conceived to provide a quail egg incision tool.

[0005]

A quail egg cutting tool according to the present invention has an elongated hard synthetic resin first plate-like member 1 having a circular hole 12 near the end for projecting a part of a quail egg. And sliding on both sides of the first plate-like member 1 in the longitudinal direction as guides.
To form an arc-shaped end face 23 inward at the tip end,
A second plate-shaped member 2 of an elongated hard synthetic resin in which a mountain-shaped projection 22 is formed at the center of the arc-shaped end face 23 ;
The quail eggs protruding from the round hole 12 of the first plate-shaped member 1
The plate-shaped member is formed so as to be opened at the mountain-shaped projection 22.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
It is composed of an elongated plate-like member made of a hard synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polycarbonate, and both plate-like members are configured to be slidable with each other.

As shown in the plan view and side view of FIG. 1 (a), the first elongated plate-like member 1 has convex guides 11 formed on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and a round hole 12 near the end. It is open.

As shown in the plan view and the side view of FIG. 1 (b), the second elongated plate-like member 2 has convex guides 21 on both sides in the longitudinal direction. , An arc-shaped end face 23 is formed, and a mountain-shaped projection 22 is formed at the center of the arc-shaped end face 23. The projection 22 protrudes from the tip end of the second plate-shaped member 2. It is formed not to be.

When the first plate-like member 1 is placed on the lower side and the second plate-like member 2 is placed on the upper side, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. The guides 11 and 21 are engaged with each other and can slide in the longitudinal direction without laterally shifting.

Next, a procedure for incising a quail egg using the incision device thus constructed will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first plate-like member 1 and the second plate-like member 2 which have been superimposed are placed with the forefinger downward.
Hold the thumb with the thumb on the upper side, and make a round hole in the first plate-shaped member 1.
When the quail egg is caught from the lower side by 12 and the second plate-shaped member 2 is pushed out with the thumb, as shown in FIG.
The quail egg head can be cut open by 22 and the arcuate end face 23.

At this time, the tip of the second plate-like member 2 has an arc-shaped end face 23 facing inward in addition to the mountain-shaped protrusion 22.
Is formed, when the two plate-like members 1 and 2 are slid to apply a shearing force to the quail egg to make an incision, firstly, the projection 22 causes the central portion of the egg to move from inside to outside. When a force is applied to the quail egg, a hole is made in the center of the quail egg, and the quail egg is further slid, the force from the outside to the inside is applied by both sides of the arc-shaped end face 23.

If only the protruding portion 22 is used, only the force from the inside to the outside is applied to the quail egg. With the shape having, the hole is first opened in the center of the egg, and then the egg is cut out from the outside, so that the egg can be cut finely. The protruding portion 22 is provided on the second plate-like member 2.
Since it does not protrude from the tip of the finger, the risk of accidentally piercing the fingertip can be reduced.

The round hole 12 of the second plate-shaped member 2 is sized so that a quail egg can be fitted to about a quarter from the top. If the round hole 12 is smaller than this, the chevron-shaped protrusion 22 slides on the surface of the quail egg, and the shearing force that cuts it is not effectively applied. Also, if this round hole 12 is larger than this, the quail egg will be cut open from the thick center,
There is a risk that the egg fluid will jump out, and furthermore, the quail egg cannot be properly fixed to the first plate-shaped member 1.

Further, the quail egg incision tool of the present invention can be manufactured in a mass production at a low cost because a long plate member made of synthetic resin can be manufactured by a simple punching process.

(Other Embodiments) As shown in the plan view of FIG. 5A, a slit 13 is formed along the center line of the first plate-like member 1, and the plan view of FIG. As shown, if the cut-and-raised piece 24 that engages with the slit 13 is provided in the second plate-shaped member 2, the moving range of the second plate-shaped member 2 is restricted, and the fingertip is pierced by mistake. Danger can be reduced.

Further, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 6, if a downward engaging piece 25 is formed at the rear end of the second plate-like member 2, this engaging piece 25 becomes the first plate. The moving range is limited by hitting the rear end of the shaped member 1, and the danger of accidentally sticking the fingertip can be reduced.

[0018]

As is apparent from the description based on the above embodiment, the quail egg incision tool of the present invention is an inexpensive and simple tool, which can easily incise quail eggs without skill. It can be used to sell quail eggs by enclosing it in a pack when selling quail eggs.
