Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a blade portion 41 is formed by a plurality of blades 42 being arrayed on a front surface of a main body at an even interval while forming blade striation portions 43 between adjacent blades 42. Each blade 42 is cut into a circular-arc shape. A pitch between the blades 42 is in a range of 1 to 3 mm. A recess-portion apex composed of a cut surface of each blade 42 has a rounded shape with a radius of 1.0 to 3.0 mm. A protrusion-portion apex of the blade striation portion 43 has a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. A tip of the blade 42 formed by the blade striation portion 43 has a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
Claims4
A peeling blade comprising:
- a main body that is composed of a plate-shaped member that has a substantially rectangular shape from a front view and a rear view, and has a blade portion in which blades that are placed in contact with a surface of a fruit or vegetable to be peeled are formed, characterized in that
- blade-side engaging portions that are engaged with engaging portions of a peeling-blade supporting member are formed on both ends of the main body in an extending direction of the blade portion,
- a blade-portion area and a guide-portion area are formed in a substantially center in-plane portion of the main body with an opening portion that extends in a length direction therebetween,
- the main body is formed such as to be bent in a width direction towards a front-surface side such that the blade-portion area and the guide-portion area are brought near each other,
- an opening-portion end of the blade-portion area is the blade portion,
- in the blade portion, a plurality of blades are arrayed at an even interval while forming blade striation portions between adjacent blades, each blade being formed on a front surface of the main body such that a blade end portion is cut into a circular-arc shape that arcs from the opening portion into the blade-portion area,
- a pitch between the blades is equal to or greater than 1 millimeter and less than 3 millimeters,
- a recess-portion apex composed of a cut surface of each blade has a rounded shape with a radius that is equal to or greater than 1.0 millimeters and equal to or less than 3.0 millimeters,
- a protrusion-portion apex of the blade striation portion has a rounded shape with a radius that is equal to or greater than 0.1 millimeters and equal to or less than 0.5 millimeters, and
- a tip of the blade formed by the blade striation portion has a rounded shape with a radius that is equal to or greater than 0.1 millimeters and equal to or less than 0.5 millimeters.
