Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tool for cutting out the core of the inner bag of mandarin oranges.

Traditionally, the common method was to remove the core of the mandarin orange bag with your fingernail or bite it off with your teeth, and then spread the opening with your fingertips to remove the contents. At that time, if the core part of the inner bag is not removed along its entire length and both ends remain, or if a part of the inner bag is left unremoved, remove the inner part from that part. There are cases where the bag is torn vertically and in order to take out the contents of the inner bag that remains without spreading, it is necessary to collect it again, remove the core of that part, and then unfold it and take out the contents. It was a lot.

Also, when the core is cut out, the juice inside may flow out of the inner bag, and the juice may make your fingers wet, making you feel uncomfortable and not being hygienic. There were flaws.

This invention was made to eliminate this drawback, and the following are perspective views as seen from an upper oblique direction and a lower oblique direction, respectively.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, its structure consists of a main body (3) with a lower blade (1) and an upper blade (2) that hold and cut the core of the mandarin bag; A lever (4) for engaging the lower blade (1) with the lower blade (1), and a connecting fitting (5) for connecting the lever (4) and the cutter body (3),
Furthermore, it consists of a nakabukuro guide stand (6) for placing the mikan nakabukuro on it to make it easier to bite off the core.

To explain this process using drawings, as shown in Figure 3, the fulcrum component (7) of the connecting fitting (5) is connected to the lower blade component (
8) and the holes drilled in the upper blade component fittings (9) (
10) and (11) from below to the top so that they protrude above the upper surface of the upper blade component fitting (9), and in this state, open the connecting fitting (5) to the bottom plate (12). It is fixed by tightening a male screw (15) with a knob through a rectangular hole (13) having a long axis and a short axis and into a female screw hole (14) made in the lower blade component fitting (8). The fulcrum component (7) of the connecting metal fitting (5) that protrudes upward from the hole (11) of the upper blade component fitting (9) is connected to the connecting shaft (16) attached to one tip of the lever (4). Depending on the situation, a fulcrum is given to the lever (4), and when a downward force is applied to one end of the lever (4), a downward force is applied to the point of application (17) of the lever, and this force Since this forces the upper blade component fitting (9) downward, the upper blade (2) is pressed against the lower blade (1) and engages with it.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the connecting fitting (5). As shown in the figure, this connecting fitting (5) is attached with an intrusion restriction plate (18) for the core of the mandarin orange bag. When combined, it will be located between the lower blade component fitting (8) and the upper blade component fitting (9), and the inner bag of mandarin oranges held between the lower blade (1) and the upper blade (2). It acts as a baffle plate against which the core hits and limits the depth of the core to a certain limit.

Fig. 5 is a developed view of the connecting metal fitting (5), and the front view is attached to the plan view seen from the direction of the surface where the bottom plate (12) contacts the lower surface of the lower blade component metal fitting (8). It is something that

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the inner pouch guide stand (6). The nakabukuro guide table (6) is a stand on which the mandarin orange nakabukuro is placed and the core part is slipped between the lower blade (1) and the upper blade (2) to make it easier to hold the core in the mouth. Because of this, the top of the stand has a lower blade (1)
The level is set at the same position as the height of the blade.

The method of fixing the inner bag guide stand (6) is as follows: The legs (19) are attached to the notches (20) provided in the bottom plate (12) of the connecting fitting (5).
) In other words, as shown in the exploded view of the connecting fitting in Figure 5, the bottom plate (12) of the connecting fitting (5) has an inverted trapezoidal cross section without both bottoms as shown in the front view. There is a notch (20) with a rectangular plane, but this bottom plate (1
2) comes into contact with the lower surface of the lower blade component (8), this cut (20) will have an inverted trapezoidal cross section without an upper base. Insert the legs (19) of the guide base (6) of the inner bag with an inverted ladder-shaped cross section into such a notch (20) and push the inner bag guide base (6) until it hits the lower blade (1). The legs (19) of the inner bag guide stand (6) are attached to the bottom plate (1) of the connecting fitting (5).
Since it enters into the notch (20) of 2), the inner bag guide stand (6) can be fixed in front of the lower blade (1) without creating a gap.

Before using this tool, make adjustments if necessary, the purpose of which is to be able to cut out the core of the tangerine to the desired depth. In other words, the inner bag of mandarin oranges has different sizes depending on the type of mandarin orange, and the depth of the core part varies accordingly, so it is necessary to determine the depth of the core that can be cut according to the type of mandarin before using the tool. It is intended to be adjusted accordingly.

This adjustment is to make the distance between the penetration restriction plate (18) of the tangerine core and the engagement points of the lower blade (1) and the upper blade (2) correspond to the depth of the tangerine core to be cut.

To make the adjustment, first loosen the male screw with knob (15) with your fingertips so that the connecting fitting (5) is not fixed to the lower blade component fitting (8), and in this state, tighten the connecting fitting (5). While moving forward and backward along the long axis direction of the hole (13) drilled in the bottom plate (12), insert the mandarin orange core intrusion restriction plate (18) attached to the connecting fitting (5) and the lower blade (1). and upper blade (
Determine the distance from the engagement point of 2) to roughly match the depth of the core of the inner bag of the mandarin orange you are trying to bite into, then screw in the male screw with knob (15) and attach the connecting fitting (5).
) is fixed to the lower blade component fitting (8). At that time, if there is a gap between the inner bag guide stand (6) and the lower blade (1), the inner bag guide stand (6) is pressed against the lower blade (1) to eliminate the gap.

The adjustment of the tool is now complete, and the next step is to attach the lever (4).

The method of attaching the lever (4) is as follows.
The fulcrum component part (7) of the connecting metal fitting (5) that penetrates through 0) and (11) and protrudes above the upper surface of the upper blade component metal fitting (9)
As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1, the connecting shaft (16) of the lever is hooked and attached in the direction in which the action point portion (17) of the lever can act on the upper blade component fitting (9).

Due to the above adjustment state and structure, in actual use, place the core part of the mandarin orange's nakabukuro on the guide stand (6) of the mandarin orange's nakabukuro with the lower blade (1) and upper blade (2). ), then place the mandarin orange in the middle bag with the pad of your finger.
), the core of the inner bag of the mandarin orange will be cut out by the lower blade (
The part of the core that has slipped between the upper blade (1) and the upper blade (2) hits the penetration restriction plate (18), so it cannot penetrate beyond a certain depth.In this state, use the lever (4). If you hold the main blade part (3) in the palm of one hand, the upper blade (2) will become the lower blade (1).
), and the core of the mandarin orange can be cut to the desired depth.

This tool can be disassembled into separate parts: the main body of the knife (3), the lever (4), the connecting fitting (5), and the inner pouch guide stand (6), so each part can be washed separately. can be kept sanitary.
