JP5529495B2 - Whole Sudachi - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to efficient and sanitary juice extraction of fruit “Sudachi” and the like, and utilization of the skin.

Conventionally, when sudachi or the like is squeezed, the fruit is cut into a half-moon shape and pressed from the pericarp with a finger.
In such a case, a knife or the like is necessary to open the fruit. After the fact, it is necessary to carefully wash it off and pay attention to the incense. Hand washing is indispensable because squeezing with your fingers also has hygiene concerns and vinegar is especially attached to your fingers.
In addition, since the fruit is cut open, the seeds are exposed, and when squeezed out, the seeds that are not edible also fall, which is troublesome to remove and does not match the atmosphere of the meal.
Although there is a squeezing machine that does not stain hands and does not drop seeds when squeezing as in JP-A-2002-238737, a knife or the like is necessary because it is necessary to cut the fruit into a half-moon shape.

Conventionally, it is cut sideways with a knife etc. to cut the fruit bunches before squeezing, but the fruit is already scattered when cutting, so there is a loss, and it is troublesome because surrounding dirt etc. occur It is.
In this machine, cutting is performed in a saucer, so that fruit juice is prevented from being scattered and no loss or dirt around it occurs.
Further, since the juice is squeezed out by turning the cut blade, it is hygienic and there is no splashing of the juice and no dirt on the hands because the fingers do not touch the fruits directly.
Since it is squeezed without opening the skin, seeds do not jump out, and only the juice is available, so the flow of the table is not impaired.

Means for solving the problem

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the squeezing machine of the present invention has a cylindrical cutting edge because the fruit seeds are concentrated in the fruit core, and cuts away from the top surface of the fruit avoiding the seed and opening the skin. The fruit juice is squeezed by squeezing and pulling the flesh by tearing all the bunches and rotating the polygonal cutting blade inside the flesh.
In addition, the fruit is biting into the cutting blade after squeezing, so if you separate the lower part and the upper part, you can remove the fruit together with the upper part and carry it as it is to the garbage tray, and finally pull the operation knob from the case 1 to see the fruit. Can be pushed away from the cutting blade by the case 2.

Effect of the invention

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. In the saucer, tear the tuft without severing the pericarp, rotate the cutting blade to squeeze and pull the pulp, so there is no seed popping, squeezed splash, loss, nearby dirt, There is no need for knives and equipment associated with squeezing, and there is no need to touch the hands directly until the last fruit is processed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of an example of the present invention, in which a small hole J is formed on the bottom surface, and a fruit that is squeezed can be stably installed near the center and has a structure that prevents the rotation of the fruit. A cylindrical saucer H provided with a plate 1 is provided with a sliding machine (FIG. 3) on the back surface and placed on a cradle K for collecting juice dripping from a small hole J of the saucer H; A case 1C that can be inserted up to and including an operation knob A at one end and a polygonal cutting blade F that cuts fruit at the other end. A guide plate D for sliding and an upper contact plate L are fixed to the operation rod B, and a hole in which the operation rod B can slide up and down is formed in the contact plate at the other end. A case 2E, in which a pressing spring M is fixed and held, is fixed to the case 1C. And an upper.

  When the fruit to be squeezed is placed vertically on the rotation stop plate 1 and the case 1C is inserted into the lower tray H with the operation knob A up, the lower end of the case 2E is first coupled with the rotation stop plate 1 to hold the fruit G. When the operation knob A is further inserted downward, the polygonal cutting blade F cuts into the fruit G in conjunction with the operation knob A, and when the operation knob A eventually hits the case 1C and the cutting stops, the operation knob A is rotated. The polygonal cutting blade F also rotates, and in the fruit fixed by the rotation stop plate 1, the fruit flesh is pressed and pulled by the folds of the polygonal cutting blade G, and the juice is efficiently and hygienically ejected from the seed. It can be squeezed out without the hassle of splashing.

When squeezing and using a single fruit, it is reasonable to remove the cradle K and drop the squeeze directly from the saucer H, but when squeezing continuously, the cradle K It is better to use the juice at the end.
The fruit including the seeds bites into the upper cutting blade F, and only the fruit juice remains in the saucer H and the cradle K. Since the fruit is squeezed without opening, the seeds are not seen at all. Can be used with confidence.

The fruit biting into the upper cutting blade F is pushed away from the cutting blade F by the case 2E when the operation knob A is pulled from the case 1C on the garbage receiver.
After the fruit is inserted into the saucer H, it does not directly touch the hand including the last removal, and there is no trouble such as hand washing, and the squeezing operation can be carried out efficiently and hygienically.
The cutting blade F is a sharp blade, but is stored in the case 2E automatically by the action of the pressing spring M during storage, and has a structure that ensures safety.

It is a schematic side view in an example of the whole Sudachi of the present invention. It is the schematic in an example of the cutting blade of the whole Sudachi of this invention. The present invention is a schematic diagram showing an example of a whole Sudachi grinder.

Claims (1)

This machine has a cylindrical saucer provided with a rotation stop plate having a structure in which at least one or more small holes are drilled on the bottom surface, the fruit to be squeezed can be stably installed near the center of the bottom surface, and the rotation of the fruit is prevented. A lower part placed on a cradle for collecting fruit juice dripping from a small hole in the saucer on the back, a case 1 that can be inserted into the saucer up to a certain part, an operation knob at one end, and a polygonal shape that cuts fruit at the other end An operating rod slidable up and down with a cutting blade, a guide plate for ensuring that the operating rod slides up and down the center, and an upper contact plate are fixed to the operation rod, and the other end contact plate An operating rod is formed with a hole slidable up and down, and a case 2 containing a push spring fixedly held on the guide plate and an upper portion fixedly attached to the case 1 is formed. Place the fruit vertically in the inside and raise the control knob When the case 1 is inserted into the receiving pan, the lower end of the case 2 is combined with the rotation stop plate to hold the fruit, and when the operation knob is further pushed down, the polygonal cutting blade linked to the operation knob cuts into the fruit. When the knob hits the case 1 and the cutting stops, the polygonal cutting blade also rotates by rotating the operation knob. In the fruit fixed by the rotation stop plate, the polygonal cutting blade's folds are pressed and pulled, A squeezing device characterized in that it has a function of squeezing fruit juice efficiently and hygienically and storing the cutting blade inside the case 2 by a push spring in order to ensure safety during storage of the machine.
