Abstract
To provide a shutter piece in a food shaping device that is capable of opening and closing an enclosure surrounded by a plurality of shutter pieces, the shutter piece including a flexure allowance part between a rotation center position of a shutter piece and a distal end part of the shutter piece to allow flexure of a distal-end side portion of the shutter piece in the opposite direction from a closing opening direction during a closing operation of the shutter piece, in which the flexure allowance part is constituted by a slit, a cutaway part, or a hole, and the flexure allowance part includes a flexure-amount adjustment mechanism to adjust the amount of flexure of the distal-end side portion of the shutter piece.
Claims16
A shutter piece of a food shaping device that is configured to open and close an enclosure surrounded by at least three of the shutter pieces, the shutter piece comprising:
- a flexure allowance part that allows flexure of a distal-end side portion of the shutter piece, during closing of the shutter piece, in a direction opposite to a closing direction, between a rotation center position of the shutter piece and a distal end part of the shutter piece, the distal end part of the shutter piece being separated from a base part of the shutter piece by a slit or a notch that provides flexure and that extends from a non-pressing side surface of the shutter piece towards a pressing side surface of the shutter piece.
A shutter of a food shaping device that is configured to open and close an enclosure surrounded by at least three of the shutters, the shutter comprising:
- a flexure allowance part that allows flexure of a distal end side portion of the shutter during closing of the shutter, the flexure being in a direction opposite to a closing direction, between a rotation center position of the shutter and a distal end of the shutter,
- the shutter comprising two half shutters each having a same shape and provided to an attachment base including an attachment hole for attachment to rotating shafts of a shutter device of the food shaping device, respectively, the half shutters being symmetrical and being configured to be individually adjusted in directions towards and away from each other.
A shutter of a food shaping device that is configured to open and close an enclosure surrounded by at least three of the shutters, the shutter comprising:
- a flexure allowance part that allows flexure of a distal end side portion of the shutter during closing of the shutter, the flexure being in a direction opposite to a closing direction, between a rotation center position of the shutter and a distal end part of the shutter, the flexure distal end part of the shutter being separated from a base of the shutter by a slit that provides flexure,
- the slit comprising a slit gap restricting member that is configured to restrict reduction of a slip gap during flexure of the distal end side portion, the slit gap restricting member comprising an adjustment pin, a spacer or a block removably insertable into the slit.
