Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、握り飯製造用治具を用いて回転させながら内部の握り飯を成形するようにした握り飯製造装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、握り飯は人の手で握られて作られていた。人の手で握る場合、その人が握り飯を作る経験を積んだ人であれば、その経験に基づく適度な圧縮速度及び適度な圧縮力で飯を握ることができるので、表面付近は固く、内部は柔らかくふっくらとした握り飯を作ることが可能であった。このような握り飯は、歯応えや舌触りが良く、食感に優れた美味しいものである。しかしながら、人の手で製造する場合には、ある程度の経験を積んだ人でなければこれらの食感に優れた握り飯を作ることができないという問題があった。また、製造速度が安定せず、疲労のために大量に製造することが難しいという問題があった。さらに、握り飯毎の飯の量を一定にすることが難しいので、大きさ、重さ、固さ等の品質が安定しないという問題もあった。
【０００３】
なお、握り飯を機械で製造する試みもなされているようではあるが、この装置は、一側面が開口された所定形状の容器内に飯を入れた後、この飯を、前記開口部から進入される押し板で圧縮成形するものであった。この従来の握り飯製造装置によれば、飯は表面のみならず中心部までが固く圧縮されてしまい、飯が表面付近のみならず中心部まで押し潰されて、歯応えや舌触りが悪い握り飯となっていた。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記従来の問題を解消し、表面付近は締め固められる一方で内部は柔らかくふっくらして歯応えや舌触りが良好な握り飯を、手動又は自動的に作ることができて、握り飯の大量生産を行なうことができ、しかも構造が簡単で小型化できる握り飯製造装置を提供することを目的としている。

【００１０】
この第１実施形態の握り飯製造装置は、図１（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、平板上の基台１の上面の幅方向ほぼ中央部に所定間隔をおいて前後向きに立設された透明の樹脂からなる左右側板２、３と、これら左右側板２、３間の内部奥側に配置され、左右側板２、３の上部開放部４から投入され内部に飯Ｍ（図１０参照）がふっくらと封入された握り飯製造用治具５（図９参照）の膨張部５ａを受け止めるために左右側板２、３の内面に取付固定された左右一対の受け板６、７と、これら受け板６、７の前部に配置され握り飯製造用治具５の周縁辺５ｂが入り込むとともに膨張部５ａを受け止め、回転することによって受け板６、７との間で握り飯用製造治具５を回転させて内部の飯Ｍを回転によるはね上げはね下げによる衝撃圧で押圧して握り飯Ｔ（図１４参照）を成形するための左右一対の回転板８、９と、左右側板２、３から回転板８、９を貫通した回転軸１０の一方の側板２の外側に回転可能に配設されて左右一対の回転板８、９を手動で回転駆動するための取っ手部材１１を有するギヤ１２とを備えている。
【００１１】
更に、左右一対の受け板６、７は、その上斜面６ａ、７ａが握り飯製造用治具５の円弧状縁と対応した円弧状に形成されている。また、回転板８、９は、握り飯製造用治具５の膨出部５ａの円弧状縁と対応した中心側に向けて凹む円弧状受け部８ａ、９ａを円周方向に４箇所設けている。
【００１２】
そして、図に示すように、左右側板２、３の上部開放部４から内部に飯Ｍがふっくらと封入された握り飯製造用治具５を投入して、左右一対の受け板６、７間の間隙に握り飯製造用治具５の周縁辺５ｂが入り込み、膨出部５が受け板６、７の円弧状の上斜面６ａ、７ａで受け止められるとともに、左右一対の回転板８、９間の間隙に握り飯製造用治具５の周縁辺５ｂが入り込み、膨出部５が左右それぞれ１箇所の円弧状受け部８ａ、９ａで受け止められる。握り飯製造用治具５内に飯Ｍを押し込んではいけない。
その後、図３、図４、図５に示すように、取っ手部材１１を回動して左右一対の回転板８、９を図にて時計方向に回転させると、握り飯製造用治具５が反時計方向に回転され、この握り飯製造用治具５内に封入されている飯Ｍが回転によるはね上がり次いではね下がるその際の衝撃圧で飯Ｍが壁に押圧されてその部分が固くなり握り飯Ｔが成形されることとなる。尚、これについては、図８〜図１３に基づいて、後に詳しく説明する。

【００１７】
ここで、前述した握り飯製造用治具５について、図８、図９を参照しつつ、更に詳述すると、この握り飯製造用治具５は、握り飯Ｍ（図１０〜図１３参照）の一方の面側を成形し、一面側に膨出部５ａを有する第１成形部５ｃと、飯Ｍの他方の面側を成形し、一面側に膨出部５ａを有する第２成形部５ｄと、これら第１成形部５ｃと第２成形部５ｄを連結する連結部５ｅと、各成形部５ｃ、５ｄの周縁部から略輪状に延出された周縁辺５ｂとで形成されている。
更に、周縁辺５ｂにおける前記した連結部５ｅの反対側の外側縁から外向きに広い幅の延設された取っ手片５ｇ、５ｇがそれぞれ形成されていて、その幅方向中央箇所に円穴５ｈ、５ｈがそれぞれ形成されている。
【００１８】
また、各膨出部５ａ、５ａの基端周縁から中央に向けて球面状に膨らんだ部分は、略Ｗ字形の山谷形状部５ｉ、５ｉにそれぞれ形成され、更に中央側部分は無数の凹凸部を有する水平形状部５ｊ、５ｊに形成されている。
これらの第１成形部５ｃと第２成形部５ｄは、連結部５ｅから表向きに回動させると、図９に示すように、上下に膨らんだ各膨出部５ａ、５ａを有する袋状となり、これら各膨出部５ａ、５ａ部分に飯Ｍが封入された状態となる。
【００１９】
次に、図１０、図１１、図１２、図１３を参照しつつ、握り飯製造用治具５が握り飯製造装置内で回転されながらこの握り飯製造治具５内に封入されている飯Ｍが握り飯Ｔに成形されていく過程について、概略説明する。
内部に定量分の飯がふっくらと封入されて左右側板２、３間の上部開放部４から投入された握り飯製造用治具５が左右一対の受け板６、７の円弧状の上斜面６ａ、７ａと左右一対の回転板８、９のそれぞれ１箇所の円弧状受け部８ａ、９ａで受け止められる。
【００２０】
この状態では、握り飯製造用治具５は、その初期の状態では、図１０に示すように、内部の飯Ｍが前後の膨出部５ａ、５ａ内で下側の連結部５ｅ寄り部分に下がった状態となっており、この握り飯製造用治具５が回転板８、９の回転で図にて反時計方向に回転される。
次には、図１１に示すように、取っ手片５ｇ、５ｇが図にて左側で連結部５ｅが右側に位置すると、内部の握り飯Ｍは連結部５ｅ寄り部分から図にて右下側に寄った状態となり、回転時に治具５がはね上げられ落ちた時に右下部分に衝撃圧がかかり、その右下端部分が締め固められるように成形され、更に反時計方向に回転されると、図１２に示すように、内部の飯Ｍは下側の取っ手片５ｇ、５ｇ寄り部分に下がった状態となって、回転時に治具５のはね上げはね下がりにより衝撃が左右端にかかり、その右下端部分が締め固められるように成形される。
更に反時計方向に回転されると、図１３に示すように、取っ手片５ｇ、５ｇが図にて右側で連結部５ｅが左側に位置して、内部の飯Ｍは図にて右下側に寄った状態となし、前記同様にしてその右下端部分が締め固められるように成形され、更に反時計方向に回転されると図１０の状態に戻り、図にて下側の連結部５ｅ寄り部分に下がった状態となり、同様にしてその右下側部分が締め固められるように成形される。
【００２１】
また、これとともに、図１０〜図１３に示す握り飯製造用治具５が図にて反時計方向に回転移送される間は、飯Ｍの図にて前後の表面部分も常に各膨出部５ａ、５ａの内面に圧接された状態となっているので、これら前後の表面部分も締め固められるように成形される。
しかし、握り飯Ｔの内部は、柔らかくふっくらした状態が保たれていて、表面部分が締め固められる一方で内部は柔らかくふっくらとして歯応えや舌触りが良好な握り飯が形成されることとなる。
しかも、このような握り飯Ｔを、握り飯を作った経験がない人でも容易に作ることができる。
また、握り飯製造装置の構造が簡単で、安価に提供できる。
【００２２】
尚、このような握り飯Ｔは、例えば、図１４に示すように、外側に海苔Ｎを巻いた状態でも市販され、握り飯製造用治具５内に握り飯Ｔが入った状態で販売されることとなる。
また、この握り飯製造装置で、握り飯Ｔに限らず、焼きおにぎり、赤飯、おこあ等のおむすびでも製造できることは勿論である。
