<First embodiment>
FIG. 1: is the (a) top view, (b) front view, (c) left view, (b) back view of the cooking appliance 1 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking utensil 1 according to one aspect of the present invention includes a head portion 2 including a blade member 3 fixed to one surface and a blade member 4 sandwiched between the other surfaces, And a grip portion 5 for the user to grip.

  The head portion 2 is formed integrally with the grip portion 5, and as shown in FIG. 1C, the head portion 2 is formed so that the grip portion 5 is substantially straight when viewed from the side when no force is applied. ing. The head part 2 and the grip part 5 are made of, for example, a resin material. Specifically, a plastic resin such as an ABS resin or a polypropylene resin can be integrally formed.

  A cutting blade provided with a plurality of vertical blades (protruding blades) for making a plurality of parallel streak-like cuts on the food material on one surface (hereinafter referred to as “surface”) of the head portion 2 The member 3 is fixed. As shown in FIG. 1A, the blade member 3 is fixed to the head portion 2 by a fixing member 6 so as to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the grip portion 5.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the blade member 3. The blade member 3 is formed by forming a plurality of triangular upright blades 102 standing substantially perpendicular to a main body 101 that is a rectangular plate piece. For example, the vertical blade can be formed by punching a steel blade into a triangular shape and standing substantially vertically, or corroding into a triangular shape and providing a cut, and standing substantially vertically. Further, the blade may be formed by corroding the triangle and making a cut and providing a step in the blade portion.
The vertical blade 102 has a blade formed in the direction of the gripping portion 5 of the protruding member. The upright blade 102 can be formed, for example, by making a plurality of cutouts obliquely on the long side of the main body 101 and standing the cutout portions in a triangular shape. The upright blade 102 has a blade 103 formed by thinly cutting the hypotenuse by polishing or the like. The vertical blade 102 provided with the blade 103 makes it possible to cut a cooking object such as vegetables and fruits (detailed usage will be described later).

  Returning to FIG. 1, a cutting blade member 4 having a flat blade for scraping off the surface of the food is sandwiched between the other surface (hereinafter referred to as “back surface”) of the head portion 2. . As shown in FIG. 1 (d), the blade member 4 is clamped substantially parallel to the head portion 2 by the convex portion 7 so that the longitudinal side extends in the vertical direction with respect to the grip portion 5. That is, the convex portions 7 at both ends of the blade member 4 are rotatably fitted in through holes on the side surfaces extending vertically from both sides of the head portion 2. The blade member 4 is formed with a general flat blade 104 for peeling, and the flat blade 104 is slightly rotated by the sandwiching structure, so that the blade member 4 can follow the cooking object well.

  Each blade member 3 and blade member 4 may be any material that can be used for a blade, but in this example, for example, a blade steel such as stainless steel or carbon steel, a ceramic, etc. Can be mentioned.

  An example when chopping with such a cooking utensil 1 will be described. 3 and 4 are explanatory views for explaining an example of use of the cooking utensil 1.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3, the user inserts the upright blade 102 on the surface of the cooking utensil 1 substantially perpendicularly to one surface of the cooking material, and draws it in the first direction. Next, the cooking utensil 1 is moved approximately 90 degrees, and the standing blade 102 on the surface of the cooking utensil 1 is inserted substantially perpendicularly to the same surface. And it cuts in the 2nd direction substantially perpendicular | vertical with respect to the said 1st direction, and also makes a notch | incision. Thereby, a grid-like cut is formed in the cooking material.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the flat blade 104 on the back surface of the cooking utensil 1 is applied to the same surface of the cooking material, and the lattice-shaped cuts formed earlier are scraped off. Then, each grid-like cut is separated from the cooking material and separated, and the cooking material can be easily chopped. Note that the size and depth of the cuts to be formed and the thickness of scraping can be freely designed according to the shapes of the blade member 3 and the blade member 4.

  Cooking ingredients include vegetables such as radish, carrots, onions, potatoes and sweet potatoes. When applied to fruits such as tangerines and citrons, chopped skin can be obtained. In addition, processed foods such as konjac, kamaboko, and chikuwa may be used. In addition, you may cook in the state which put the grid | lattice-shaped cut | incision of FIG. 3 in root vegetables. By making such a cut on the surface, cooking is possible in a short cooking time, and the taste is also easily soaked.

  In the above, the incision was made by pulling in the first and second directions. For example, the flat blade on the back surface is drawn without making the incision by pulling in the vertical direction with the radish etc. as the first direction. It can be shredded by pulling 104 in the vertical direction. Further, by increasing the length of the vertical blade 102, the flat blade 104 may be pulled a plurality of times for one pull of the vertical blade 102. Thereby, it is possible to cut efficiently.

  Further, the flat blade 104 may not be a perfect straight blade, but may be a triangular blade or a wave blade in which a plurality of sharp blades having a width of 0.5 to 2 mm are formed.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. In addition, said embodiment intends to illustrate the summary of this invention, and does not limit this invention. Various further modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, modifications of the present invention will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure similar to the said embodiment, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

<Modification 1>
The cooking utensil 11 which concerns on the modification 1 of this invention is demonstrated. 5A is a top view, FIG. 5B is a front view, FIG. 5C is a left side view, and FIG. 5D is a back view of the cooking utensil 11 according to Modification 1 of the present invention. The cooking utensil 11 is different from the above embodiment in that it has a blade member 14 in which the blade member 3 is further fixed to the blade member 4 held between the back surfaces.

  The perspective view of the blade member 14 is shown to Fig.6 (a) (b). The blade member 14 has substantially the same shape as the blade member 4, but a triangular blade 108 is formed on the upper stage on the head part 2 side, and a vertical blade 102 is formed on the lower stage on the grip part 5 side. That is, the blade member 14 includes a triangular blade 108 on one side of the elongated opening, and a plurality of standing blades 102 for making a line-like cut on the other side.

  Such a blade member 14 has a configuration that can be easily cut into pieces when used alone as a cooking object. That is, when the vertical blade 102 on the back surface is inserted into the object to be cooked and the cooking utensil 11 is pulled, a rectangular cut is formed by the vertical blade 102, and then the triangular blade 108 scrapes it. Then, each rectangular cut is separated from the cooking material, and a shred is obtained.

  Further, by combining such a blade member 14 with the blade member 3 on the surface, it is possible to obtain chopping more easily. Specifically, first, as in the above-described embodiment, the upright blade 102 on the surface of the cooking utensil 11 is inserted into one surface of the cooking material, and is cut in the first direction. Next, the cooking utensil 11 is moved approximately 90 degrees, the back blade 102 is inserted and pulled in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Thereby, a grid-like cut is formed in the cooking material, and the grid-like cut is scraped off by the triangular blade 108.

  As described above, in the cooking utensil 11 of this example, the grid-like cuts are formed and scraped at a time, so that chopping can be easily obtained by two peeling operations.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the triangular blade 108 may be a flat blade 104. Further, the flat blade 104 may be close to the upright blade 102. As described above, the triangular blade 108 and the vertical blade 102 or the flat blade 104 and the vertical blade 102 are adjacent to each other without a gap, so that the food material is guided to the blade without escaping from the gap and efficiently cut into pieces. Is possible. Further, the triangular blade 108 may be a wave blade.

<Modification 2>
Next, a cooking utensil according to Modification 2 of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 7, the perspective view of the blade member 23 with which the cooking appliance which concerns on the modification 2 of this invention is provided is shown. The cooking utensil of the present modification is different from the above embodiment in that a blade member 23 having a rough standing blade 105 is used instead of the blade member 3.

  The blade member 23 has a standing blade 105 having a blade that is longer than the blade member 3. Due to the long blade, a deeper cut can be made compared to a vertical blade with a short blade. However, for example, when forming a blade by cutting and bending a vertical blade from a metal plate, a gap between the blade and the blade is increased, so that the cutting width is increased. Therefore, in the blade member 23, the cutting width is halved compared to the case of a single blade by using two blades in which the vertical blades 105 are alternately arranged. That is, two rows of vertical blade groups are formed in the longitudinal direction of the blade member 23, and the position of the vertical blades of the first row of vertical blade groups and the position of the vertical blades of the second row of vertical blade groups are shifted from each other. Has been. Thereby, the cutting width can be halved.

  With such a configuration, in the cooking utensil of this example, it is possible to provide a blade member that can be easily caught and can achieve both a deep cut and a fine cut width. In addition, in this example, it is set as the structure which forms the blade member of a 2 blade by overlapping and fixing a blade member piece on a blade member piece, but the standing blade 105 is set to the long piece which one blade member piece opposes. You may form the blade member of a 2 blade by forming alternately.

  The vertical blade group is not limited to one or two rows, and three or more vertical blade groups may be arranged.

<Modification 3>
A cooking utensil according to Modification 3 of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 8, the perspective view of the blade member 33 with which the cooking appliance which concerns on the modification 3 of this invention is provided is shown. The cooking utensil of the present modification is different from the above embodiment in that a blade member 33 having a sickle-shaped standing blade 106 is used instead of the blade member 3.

  The blade member 33 has a sickle-shaped vertical blade 106 including a blade that is recessed and curved inward. Since such a vertical blade 106 has a better catch than a triangular vertical blade, the blade escapes from the food, and the object to be cooked can be smoothly cut.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, two blade member pieces having sickle-shaped standing blades 106 may be arranged in parallel to form the blade member 34. By using two blades in which the upright blades 105 are alternately arranged, the cutting width can be made narrower than in the case of a single blade. Of course, the vertical blade group is not limited to one or two rows, and three or more vertical blade groups may be arranged.

<Modification 4>
A cooking utensil according to Modification 4 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 (a) is a perspective view of a cooking utensil 21 according to a fourth modification of the present invention, and FIGS. 10 (b) and 11 are explanatory diagrams of the usage example. The cooking utensil 21 of the present modification is different from the above embodiment in that two pressing portions 50 are formed on the head portion 2.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the pressing part 50 is a circular concave hole, and is formed one by one on the left and right with respect to the grip part 5. As shown in FIG. 10B, the user presses the index finger and the middle finger against this hole, and holds the grip portion 5 with the remaining three fingers. By gripping in this way, as shown in FIG. 11, when the user presses the blade member against the food, the user can stably press the standing blade against the food, suppress the glare, and slide the hand. Self can be prevented.

<Modification 5>
A cooking utensil according to Modification 5 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 12A is a perspective view of a cooking utensil 31 according to the fifth modification of the present invention, and FIG. The cooking utensil 31 of the present modification is different from the above-described embodiment in that one pressing portion 50 is formed on the head portion 2.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, the pressing portion 50 is a circular concave hole, and one is formed on the extension line of the grip portion 5. As shown in FIG. 12 (b), the user presses the thumb against this hole and holds the grip portion 5 with the remaining four fingers. By gripping in this way, the user can easily apply force when pressing the blade member against the food, and can smoothly insert the blade into the food and pull it to make a cut. It is also possible to press the index finger against the pressing part 50 and hold the grip part 5 with the remaining four fingers.

<Modification 6>
A cooking utensil according to Modification 6 of the present invention will be described. 13A and 13B are explanatory diagrams of usage examples of the cooking utensil 41 according to Modification 6 of the present invention. The cooking utensil 41 of the present modification is different from the above embodiment in that the head portion 2 has a standing blade 102 that can be freely inserted and removed.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the head portion 2 is formed with a pressing portion 60. Further, a blade member 43 including a standing blade 107 is accommodated in the head portion 2. The pressing portion 60 is connected to the coil spring 90, and the coil spring 90 is connected to the blade member 43. As shown in FIG. 13B, when the user presses the pressing portion 60, the coil spring 90 contracts and the standing blade 102 can be pushed out from the head unit 2. Thereby, since the standing blade 102 is pushed out of the head part 2 only at the time of use, the accident and injury by a blade can be prevented. For example, it is possible to break the skin of soft ingredients such as tomatoes and cucumbers without breaking the skin of the hands.

  In the above, the modification of this invention was demonstrated. Each embodiment and modification can be freely combined.

  The shape of the blade is not limited to the above. The shape of the blade which concerns on another example is shown to FIG.14 (b)-(c) and FIG.15 (b)-(f).

  Fig.14 (a) is a perspective view of the standing blade 102 which concerns on the said embodiment. The vertical blade 102 has a configuration in which the blade edge 301 is pointed, but a vertical blade obtained by rounding the blade edge 301 may be used as shown in FIG. According to such a standing blade, it is possible to suppress the risk of an accident or injury when the hand is slid. The cutting edge 301 desirably has a round radius of 0.1 mm or more.

  14C, a line connecting the blade edge 301 and the root 302, at least a line connecting the blade edge 301 and the inside of the blade between the blade edge 301 and the root 302, The vertical blade may be formed so as to have an acute angle (θ <90 °). That is, the blade faces inward, and the blade edge 301 faces in the pulling direction when the user grips and uses the grip portion 5. According to such a standing blade, since the catch to the food is good, it is possible to prevent the blade from escaping away from the food when the handle 5 is pulled.

  Fig.15 (a) is a perspective view of the standing blade 106 which concerns on the said modification. Such a vertical blade 106 may also be a vertical blade with the cutting edge 301 rounded as shown in FIG. The cutting edge 301 desirably has a round radius of 0.1 mm or more.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.15 (c), it is good also as a standing blade which does not form a blade at the front-end | tip. That is, the blade member includes a plurality of protrusions (folded portions) 401. The blade 303 is formed across the root 403 of the projection 401 from a position slightly separated from the tip 402 of the projection 401 (for example, a position separated by 0.5 to 3 mm). That is, the blade 303 is not formed at the tip 402 of the protrusion 401. Note that the protrusion 401 may be formed such that the tip 402 is rounded with a radius of 0.1 mm or more (for example, 0.1 to 0.6 mm). Note that the blade 303 may be formed over the root 403 of the protrusion 401 from a position 1 to 2 mm away from the tip 402 of the protrusion 401 depending on the food. Further, the blade 303 may be formed to a little before the root 403, for example, may be formed to a position 0.5 to 3 mm away from the root 403.

  By not providing the blade 303 at the tip 402, it can be prevented from being damaged when touched. Further, it is possible to prevent other objects from being damaged during storage. On the other hand, since the blade 303 faces inward, once the blade 303 bites into the food material, the food material is naturally guided to the blade 303 when it is pulled with the grip portion 5.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (d), such a protrusion 401 can form a blade 303 by chamfering the corner except for the tip obliquely. FIG. 15D 'is a cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (e), the blade 303 may be formed by etching the corners except the tip to provide a step. FIG. 15E 'is a cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E in FIG.

  The protrusion 401 is not limited to the above, and as shown in FIG. 15 (f), a switching portion 304 is provided in a substantially intermediate blade between the tip 402 and the root 302, and the inclination of the blade is recessed inward by the switching portion 304. It is good also as a structure switched so that it may become. In this example, the line connecting the root 302 to the switching unit 304 is an obtuse angle (θ> 90 °) with respect to the axis of the gripping unit 5, and the line connecting the cutting edge 301 to the switching unit 304 is the axis of the gripping unit 5. The acute angle (θ <90 °) is almost vertical. According to the projecting portion 401 having such a configuration, the cutting edge 301 that has bitten into the food tends to gather on the switching portion 304 side, and a force is applied in the direction in which the blade bites. On the other hand, the vicinity of the root tends to gather on the switching unit 304 side, and it works in the direction in which the blade is pulled out.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (g), the switching unit 304 is provided near the center of the sickle shape with respect to the pulling direction, so that the biting from the blade edge and the force in the direction of pulling out from the root are caused by the curved surface of the blade The force is smoothly distributed and cut more smoothly, and since the load is not applied locally due to the dispersion of the force, the sharpness of the blade is maintained.

  A metal flat plate of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm may be punched to form a punching blade (a blade using a plate whose tip is not thinned). Since such a blade is inexpensive, the production cost can be reduced. In addition, the blade shape has a higher degree of freedom than etching. In addition, fresh vegetables can be cut along the muscles, and safety is increased because it is hard to stick into the hands.

  In addition, a cover may be provided on the surface having the upright blade (projection) in order to prevent unexpected sticking during handling.

  Further, a flat blade is not necessarily required, and only a vertical blade may be used, and finishing may be performed by a peeler having a conventional flat blade.

  In the above, an example in which the shape of the grip portion to which the blade member is attached is a T-shape, but the Y-shape, the I-shape in which the blades are arranged in parallel with the handle, the U-shape, A vertical blade and a flat blade may be provided around the circular pattern.
