Abstract
Its simple and inexpensive design allows for easy operation and determination of the ripeness of fruits and vegetables. [Solution] The ready-to-eat checker 1 comprises a cylindrical portion 10, a pressing shaft portion 20 supported within the cylindrical portion 10 so as to be able to move relative to it in the axial direction, a coil spring 30 as an elastic part that biases the pressing shaft portion 20 in the axial direction within the cylindrical portion 10, and a slit portion 14 formed in the cylindrical portion 10 and extending in the axial direction, and a protruding portion 24 formed in the pressing shaft portion 20 and inserted into the slit portion 14, which serve as acquisition parts for acquiring the relative displacement between the pressing shaft portion 20 and the cylindrical portion 10.
