Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a structure for making it easier to set the weight balance in the handle of a kitchen knife or the like.

In general kitchen knives, as shown in Figure 1,
A knife whose weight is balanced between the blade body 1 and the handle 2 at the point indicated by the P arrow has the advantage of being easy to use and not tiring even when used for a long time. However, a knife with a well-balanced weight like this must be manufactured by taking into account the shape and material of the blade 1 and handle 2, as well as the shape of the core and mouthpiece, etc., without compromising the design of the knife. However, its production was extremely troublesome.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose was to easily manufacture knives, etc. with a well-balanced weight using a structure different from the conventional structure, and also to maintain a good weight balance. To provide a handle for a knife, etc. that is easy to handle and has an excellent design.

Examples embodying this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a synthetic resin handle consisting of a pair of handle members 15, which is fixed to the core 13 by a plurality of caulking pins 14 while sandwiching the core 13 at the rear end of the blade body 12. Reference numeral 16 designates a plurality of storage recesses (attachment portions) for attaching a balance member formed on the inner surface as an assembly surface of one of the handle members 15, and a plurality of these are provided along the longitudinal direction of the handle member 15.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a balance member made of metal or ceramic that is stored in the storage recess 16 in proximity to the core 13 of the blade body 12, and is used as shown in FIG. One location is appropriately selected from the plurality of storage recesses 16 and arranged so that the center of gravity of the whole is located at the location indicated by the P arrow shown.

In particular, in the handle 11 configured in this manner, the balance member 17 can be stored in any one of the plurality of storage recesses 16. Therefore, unlike in the past, there is no need to make various modifications to the shape of the base and the core in order to balance the weight, and it is possible to easily manufacture a kitchen knife with a well-balanced weight. Furthermore, since the shapes of the cap and core are not greatly influenced when balancing the weight, the design of the knife is not limited by the shapes of the cap and core.

In addition, in the embodiment, one balance member 17
Although only one balance member 17 is used to store the weight in the storage recess 16, it is also possible to balance the weight by arranging two or more balance members 17 in the storage recess 16, for example.

As detailed above, this invention has a plurality of balance member attachment parts provided inside the handle along the length direction of the handle, and the balance member attached to one of these attachment parts is covered by the handle. When assembling a kitchen knife, etc., the weight balance can be easily adjusted by simply attaching the balance member to any of the attachment parts, and a kitchen knife or the like with well-balanced weight can be easily manufactured. Furthermore, since a balance attachment part is provided on the handle member, there is no need to perform any processing on the core of the knife, etc., and the strength of the core will not be reduced like before, and the structure is designed to balance the weight. This makes manufacturing easier. Moreover, it can be made to have an excellent design.
