  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the food spiral cutting device 10 of the present embodiment is generally configured by a support plate 11, a blade 12, and a pressing portion 13.

  The support plate 11 serves as a base for installing the food spiral cutting device 10. The blade board 12 is erected substantially vertically on one side of the support plate 11. The pressing portion 13 is disposed to face the blade board 12 and moves so as to be able to advance and retreat with respect to the blade board 12.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the support plate 11 includes a rectangular bottom plate 14, side portions 15 integrally formed along the longitudinal direction at both ends of the upper surface of the bottom plate 14, and bottom end portions of the bottom plate 14. And a locking portion 16 that locks the support plate 11, and includes a bottom plate 14 and a side surface portion 15, and a groove-shaped groove portion 17 is formed.

  A sliding plate 18 that is slightly longer than the length of the bottom plate 14 is slidably mounted in the groove portion 17, and the pressing portion that presses the user's waist, abdomen, thigh, or the like against the end of the sliding plate 18. The part 19 is integrally formed. Further, a box-shaped support base 20 having a width smaller than that of the slide plate 18 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the slide plate 18, and the leg portion 22 of the bearing portion 21 is screwed on the support base 20. The locking projection 23 is formed integrally with the sliding plate 18 on the opposite side of the pressing portion 19 in the vicinity of the support base 20.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a rotary shaft 24 is rotatably attached to the bearing portion 21. One end of an arm portion 25 is fixed to one end of the rotary shaft 24, while the other end of the rotary shaft 24 is A disc-shaped holder 26 is fixed. In the holder 26, three locking projections 26a having a height of about 10 mm for locking one end of the potato P are radially arranged. These locking projections 26a are formed with blades at the tips and rounds at the corners of the tips. Thus, by forming a blade at the tip of the locking projection 26a, one end of the potato P can be easily held. A handle 27 for rotating the holder 26 is rotatably attached to the other end of the arm portion 25 via the rotation shaft 24.

  Further, a frame 28 is erected in the vertical direction on the upper surface of the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the side surface portion 15. The blade 28 is fastened with four mounting screws 29a and a wing nut 29b to the frame 28 so as to face the surface of the holder 26 where the locking projection 26a is provided as shown in FIGS. It is fixed by. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the blade 12 can be attached to and detached from the frame 28 by four attachment screws 29 a and a wing nut 29 b. The holder 26 is disposed opposite to the blade 12 and is attached to a pressing portion 13 that presses the potato P against the blade 12.

  Although the locking projection 26a has three blades arranged radially, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of projections formed in a pointed shape may be arranged. Any one can be used as long as it holds one end of the potato P and prevents the potato P from freely rotating.

  On the other hand, the blade 12 includes a washer 30, a support protrusion 31, a cutting blade 32, and a long rod-shaped body 33 as a support member formed integrally with the support protrusion 31, as shown in FIGS. .

  As shown in FIG. 6, the washer 30 is attached with two rectangular plates having a thickness of about 2 mm, and one corner of the washer projects to form a circular attachment hole 30a. The support protrusion 31 is a solid round bar having a length of 11 mm, for example, and protrudes from the blade 12 so that the axis of rotation is aligned with the axis of rotation. The support protrusion 31 and the rod-shaped body 33 are inserted into the mounting hole 30a, and are fixed to the opening edge of the mounting hole 30a by welding. The support protrusion 31 pierces the other end portion of the potato P and sandwiches the potato P with the holder 26.

  The cutting blade 32 is fixed to the blade 12 together with the washer 30 at a position where a part of the blade edge 32 a comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the support protrusion 31 by screws. And the blade edge 32a of the cutting blade 32 is arrange | positioned so that the outer periphery of the support protrusion 31 may be contacted, as shown in FIG. The cutting blade 32 is formed on the side opposite to the direction in which the support protrusion 31 protrudes, and cuts the potato P in a spiral shape along the axial direction while leaving the central portion from the outer peripheral direction toward the center.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the rod-shaped body 33 is a solid round bar having a length of 135 mm and a diameter of 3 mm, for example. The rod-shaped body 33 protrudes from the vicinity of the cutting blade 32 on the opposite side to the direction in which the support protrusion 31 protrudes, and supports the potatoes P that are spirally cut and fed through the opening 34 that opens around the cutting blade 32. . Here, since the rod-shaped body 33 is integrally formed with the support protrusion 31, the rod-shaped body 33 protrudes from the support protrusion 31 so that the axis of rotation is aligned with the axis.

  In addition, the length of the rod-shaped body 33 can be appropriately changed depending on the length of the workpiece in the axial direction. Moreover, the diameter of the rod-shaped body 33 is set in order to make the hole formed at the center of the potato P cut into the strength and the spiral cut as much as possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the opening 34 is set to a size that allows the potato P, which is an object to be cut, to be sent out as shown in FIGS. Thus, the mechanical strength of the blade 12 can be increased by forming the opening 34 to be small.

  Further, on the back side of the washer 30 near the cutting edge 32a of the cutting blade 32, an arc portion 30b is formed as shown in FIG. The arcuate portion 30b is formed with an inclined surface portion 30c so as to incline toward the cutting blade 32, and the inclined surface portion 30c extends substantially parallel to the cutting edge 32a of the cutting blade 32.

  Next, the spiral cutting operation by the food spiral cutting apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a usage state of the food spiral cutting device of FIG. 8, FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a specific usage state of the food spiral cutting device of FIG. 8, and FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the use condition seen from the other direction.

  First, as shown in FIG. 11, the food spiral cutting device 10 of the present embodiment is placed on the cooking table 40. In this case, the locking portion 16 formed on the bottom plate 14 is locked to the edge of the cooking table 40. Next, the holder 26 is separated from the support protrusion 31 side to an interval that matches the length of the potato P as the object to be cut. At that position, one end of the potato P is locked to the locking protrusion 26 a of the holder 26, and the other end of the potato P is pierced into the support protrusion 31 to sandwich the potato P between the holder 26 and the support protrusion 31.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 11, the user's waist, abdomen, thigh, and the like are pressed against the pressing portion 19 at the end of the sliding plate 18, and the holder 26 is pressed against the blade 12. When the handle 27 is rotated clockwise with one hand, the holder 26 comes close to the blade 12 and is pushed against the cutting blade 32 of the blade 12 while rotating the potato P by the locking projection 26a of the holder 26. Thus, the cutting blade 32 cuts the potato P in a spiral shape along the axial direction while leaving the central portion from the outer peripheral direction toward the center as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. The spirally cut potato P is partially sent out from the opening 34 gradually, entangled with the rod-shaped body 33 in sequence, and is supported by the rod-shaped body 33 as an integral object. In addition, a small hole is formed in the central portion of the potato P that has been spirally cut by the support protrusion 31. The potato P spirally cut in this way is fried and eaten with, for example, cooking oil.

  Here, since the circular arc part 12a and the slope part 12b are formed in the site | part in which the cutting blade 32 in the back side of the tool board 12 was installed, the level | step-difference part is lose | eliminated. As a result, the potato P that has been spirally cut is sent out along the arc portion 30b and the slope portion 30c, so that it can be sent out smoothly.

  When the potato P is spirally cut, the locking convex portion 23 comes into contact with the lower end of the blade 12 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 so that further cutting is impossible. As a result, it is possible to prevent the holder 26 from coming into contact with the support protrusion 31, or the locking protrusion 26 a of the holder 26 from coming into contact with the cutting blade 32 to damage both of them.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the potato P is held between the support protrusion 31 of the cutter board 12 and the holder 26, the handle 27 is rotated, the holder 26 is rotated, and the cutter 26 is rotated and screwed. The potato P is spirally cut with the cutting blade 32 and the potato P is spirally supported by the rod-shaped body 33 so that the usability can be greatly improved, and the potato P can be easily spirally cut. it can.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since the potato P is only held between the support protrusion 31 of the blade 12 and the holder 26, the potato P can be easily attached. Furthermore, since the spirally cut potato P is supported by the rod-shaped body 33, the spirally cut potato P can be always maintained in a continuous integral shape without being interrupted. The handling of the spirally cut potatoes P becomes extremely easy and the commercial value can be increased.

  And according to this embodiment, since the support protrusion 31 and the elongate rod-shaped body 33 are integrally formed, while reducing a number of parts, manufacture becomes very easy. And since the one long rod-shaped body 33 is being fixed to the attachment hole 30a formed in the washer 30, it can support the potato P which was helically cut.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the potato P that has been spirally cut has a small hole formed by the support protrusion 31 at the center thereof, and a stick such as a bamboo skewer or a resin skewer is inserted into the hole and stored. By doing so, it is possible to always maintain the shape as a continuous integral body. Here, the shape of the potato P spirally cut is unstable because the potato P is cut in a spiral shape along the axial direction while leaving a central portion from the outer peripheral direction toward the center. Therefore, by sticking and storing sticks such as bamboo skewers and resin skewers as described above, it is possible to always maintain the shape as a continuous unit even if vibration is applied by transfer and conveyance.

  According to this embodiment, the locking plate 16 is provided on the bottom plate 14 of the support plate 11, and the sliding plate 18 is formed to be long so as to protrude from the support plate 11 in the direction opposite to the pressing direction of the workpiece. By forming the pressing portion 19 for pressing the potato P against the blade 12 through the holder 26 on the sliding plate 18, the cutting work can be performed with one hand, and the usability can be greatly improved. it can. And since a hand does not touch the blade board 12 during a cutting operation, safety can be improved.

  In addition, the user's waist, abdomen, thigh, and the like are pressed against the pressing portion 19 and the pressing force is used as the pressing force against the sliding plate 18, so that the pressing force is greater than the pressing force due to the hand force. , Can increase the cutting ability. This eliminates the need for a screw feed mechanism for pressing the workpiece, thus simplifying the structure.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the sliding plate 18 is provided and slides while being guided by the groove-shaped groove portion 17, the user's waist, abdomen, thigh, or the like is pressed against the pressing portion 19. In addition, it is possible to press the object to be cut with respect to the blade 12 and to improve the reliability.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the blade 12 is detachably attached to the frame 28 by the four attachment screws 29a and the wing nut 29b, so that the user can use the tool without using a tool or the like. However, by removing the wing nut 29b with a finger, it is possible to easily replace the cutting blade 32 with a different height or a rod-shaped body 33 with a different length.

  Various modifications can be made to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the support protrusion 31 and the long rod-shaped body 33 are integrally formed and fixed to the mounting hole 30a by welding, but in addition to this, the support protrusion 31 and a part of the rod-shaped body 33 are externally threaded. On the other hand, a female screw may be formed in the mounting hole 30a so that both are screwed together.

  Thus, by forming the support protrusion 31 and the long rod-shaped body 33 integrally and detachably attaching them to the mounting hole 30a, the rod-shaped body 33 according to the length of the object to be cut and the number to be supported. It is possible to exchange for a different length. Specifically, in the above-described embodiment, one potato P in which the rod-like body 33 is spirally cut is supported. However, if the rod-like body 33 is formed to be longer, a plurality of spirally cut potatoes P Can be supported.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the attachment hole 30a was formed in the washer 30, you may make it form the attachment hole 30a in the blade board 12 directly. Thereby, the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, the attachment hole 30a may be formed directly in the cutting blade 32. In this case, it is necessary to arrange so that the outer periphery of the support protrusion 31 is in contact with the cutting edge 32a of the cutting blade 32 as described above.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, in each of the embodiments described above, the case where the potatoes P are spirally cut has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the bulk foods such as the bulk vegetables such as carrots and the bulk processed meat such as sausages and hams are spirally cut. It is also applicable to.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the latching | locking part 13 which protrudes below was formed in the baseplate 11, you may make it attach to the baseplate 11 by attaching fixing means, such as a suction cup, and may make it latch.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, a user's waist | hip | lumbar part, abdominal part, a thigh, etc. were pressed against the pressing part 19, and the pressing force was made into the pressing force with respect to the sliding plate 18, but not only this but a user The frame 28 may be pressed with one hand and pressed against the cutting blade 32 while rotating the handle 27 with the other hand.
