Apparatus for cutting out noodle

An apparatus for cutting out noodle, comprising:

• a housing;
• a first roller having first cutting blade portions rotatable in a first direction about a first rotation axis, the first cutting blade portions forming a plurality of first pushing portions and a plurality of first receiving portions, each of the first pushing portions and each of the first receiving portions extending in a circumferential direction;
• a second roller having second cutting blade portions disposed so as to mesh with the first roller at a meshing position, the second roller rotatable in a second direction opposite to the first direction about a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis, and the second cutting blade portions forming a plurality of second pushing portions and a plurality of second receiving portions, each of the second pushing portions and each of the second receiving portions extending in a circumferential direction;
• a first scraper including a plurality of first scraping teeth inserted into the plurality of first receiving portions, the first scraper being fixed to the housing at a first fixing position;
• a second scraper including a plurality of second scraping teeth respectively inserted into the remainder of the first receiving portions into which the first scraping teeth are not inserted, a second tooth end of each of the plurality of second scraping teeth being disposed more downstream from the meshing position in the first rotation direction about the first rotation axis than a first tooth end of each of the plurality of first scraping teeth, the second scraper being fixed to the housing at a second fixing position;
• a third scraper including a plurality of third scraping teeth inserted into the plurality of second receiving portions, and being fixed to the housing at a third fixing position;
• and
• a fourth scraper including a plurality of fourth scraping teeth respectively inserted into the remainder of the second receiving portions into which the plurality of third scraping teeth are not inserted, a fourth tooth end of each of the plurality of fourth scraping teeth being disposed more downstream from the meshing position in the second rotation direction about the second rotation axis than a third tooth end of each of the plurality of third scraping teeth, the fourth scraper being fixed to the housing at a fourth fixing position;
• wherein the first scraper includes a first transfer hole allowing noodle threads, which are scraped to fall from each of the plurality of first receiving portions by the plurality of second scraping teeth of the second scraper, to pass through below the first scraper,
• wherein the third scraper includes a second transfer hole allowing noodle threads, which are scraped to fall from each of the plurality of second receiving portions by the plurality of fourth scraping teeth of the fourth scraper, to pass through below the third scraper,
• wherein, in a case where a position away from the meshing position in a horizontal direction that is orthogonal to the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis is referred to as being outward in the horizontal direction,
• the first fixing position lies more outward in the horizontal direction than a position of second teeth ends of the second scraping teeth, and the third fixing position lies more outward in the horizontal direction than a position of fourth teeth ends of the fourth scraping teeth,
• wherein the second scraper extends to the first roller by extending through the first scraper via the first transfer hole, and
• wherein the fourth scraper extends to the second roller by extending through the third scraper via the second transfer hole.
