DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described below with reference to the drawings to illustrate the operation of the present invention.

[0012] When processing food material F, the food material F is gripped by the gripping portion 3, and the food material F is fixed and held by the food material fixing portion 2, and in this state the food material F is cut by sliding it against the food material sliding surface 22 (blade portion 23).

[0013] The grip part 3 according to the present invention is gripped with the inner part and base part of the thumb against the first finger rest wall part 3a, and the inner parts of the other fingers against the second finger rest wall part 3a'. At this time, the outer part of the base of the thumb against the first finger rest wall part 3a abuts against the first finger support wall part 3b provided at the rear opposite position of the first finger rest wall part 3a, and since the first finger support wall part 3b is provided so as to incline backwards as it goes upwards, the hand gripping the grip part 3 (especially the entire thumb from the fingertip to the base part) fits snugly, and the user can get a good feeling of holding.

[0014] Therefore, the gripping portion 3 can be firmly gripped, and furthermore, a gripping state can be obtained in which the base of the thumb is in contact with the gripping portion, making it easy to apply force, so that the food material F can be stably held and processed well.

[0015] In addition, in the present invention, the first finger support wall portion 3b also exhibits a guard function of protecting the fingers from the blade portion 23, allowing processing to be performed safely, and since the gripping portion 3 can be firmly gripped as described above, it will not fall out of the hand during processing, allowing processing to be performed even safer. EXAMPLES

[0016] A specific embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] This embodiment is a foodstuff holder H that holds foodstuff F, such as vegetables or fruits, when the foodstuff F is subjected to a sliding process against blades 23 provided on a foodstuff sliding surface 22.

[0018] In addition, this embodiment is configured as a food holding device H (commonly known as a safety holder) that holds food F when cutting food F with, for example, the food cutting device S shown in Figure 1 (a cutting tool having a structure in which the upper surface of a main body 21 having a handle portion 21a at the base end is set on a food sliding surface 22, and three blade portions 23 are spaced apart and mounted in an opening 22a provided in the center of this food sliding surface 22), but the purpose and structure can be changed as appropriate as long as the configuration exhibits the characteristics of this embodiment.

[0019] Specifically, in this embodiment, a food fixing portion 2 for fixing a food F to the plate-shaped base 1 is provided on the lower surface of the plate-shaped base 1, and a gripping portion 3 is provided on the upper surface of the plate-shaped base 1.

[0020] The plate-like base 1 is a rectangular plate-like body made of an appropriate synthetic resin member as shown in Figures 1 to 4, and has a width in its left-right width direction (X direction in Figure 2) that allows both left and right ends to be placed on the left and right side walls 21b, 21c of the main body 21 of the food cutting tool S, and protrusions 1a are attached vertically to both left and right ends. The Y direction in Figure 2 is the front-rear direction of the plate-like base 1, and the terms "front-rear, left-right" used in this specification refer to the front in the direction of travel when food material F is slid against food material sliding surface 22 from the base end side where handle portion 21a of food material cutting tool S (main body 21) is provided to the tip end side when food material F is processed, and are defined based on this.

[0021] The left and right protrusions 1a are configured to be attached to the outer surfaces of the left and right side wall portions 21b, 21c of the main body portion 21 when the plate-shaped base body 1 is placed on top of the food cutting tool S (main body portion 21).

[0022] Therefore, when the plate-shaped base 1 is placed on top of the food cutting tool S (main body portion 21) and moved in the forward / backward direction by grasping the gripping portion 3 described below, the left and right protrusion portions 1a slide along the outer surfaces of the left and right side wall portions 21b, 21c of the main body portion 21 as guide surfaces, allowing the plate-shaped base 1 to slide back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 21.

[0023] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the plate-shaped substrate 1 has a convex curved shape when viewed from the rear (cross-sectional direction) such that the central portion is higher than both the left and right ends in the left and right width direction, and the upper surface of the plate-shaped substrate 1 is configured as a convex curved surface and the lower surface is configured as a concave curved surface.

[0024] The convexly curved upper surface of this plate-shaped base 1 contributes to a good fit for the hand (thumb) gripping the gripping portion 3, while the concavely curved lower surface of the plate-shaped base 1 cradles the food ingredient F when the food ingredient F is held by the plate-shaped base 1, contributing to good fixation by the food ingredient fixing portion 2 described below.

[0025] The food material fixing portion 2 is configured by integrally molding a large number of sharp projections 2a (pyramid-shaped projections) on the lower surface of the plate-like base 1 as shown in FIGS.

[0026] These sharp protrusions 2a are pierced by holding the gripping portion 3 described later and pressing the plate-shaped base 1 against food F, and the food F is fixed to the underside of the plate-shaped base 1. Note that the food fixing portion 2 is not limited to the structure described above as long as it has a structure that allows the food F to be positioned and fixed relative to the underside of the plate-shaped base 1.

[0027] The gripping portion 3 is integrally molded on the upper surface of the plate-like base 1 as shown in Figures 1 to 4, and is provided with a first finger rest wall portion 3a that has a length in the left-right width direction of the plate-like base 1 and faces rearward, and a second finger rest wall portion 3a' that faces forward. When gripping the gripping portion 3, the first finger rest wall portion 3a is in contact with the inner part of the thumb and the inner side of the base, and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' is in contact with the inner parts of the thumb that face the pads of the other fingers.

[0028] In this embodiment, a pair of horizontally elongated plate-like portions 3A, 3A' which are symmetrical in shape are protruded from the upper surface of the plate-like base 1 at opposing positions separated by a gap at the center position in the front-to-rear direction, and the rear-facing surface of one of the horizontally elongated plate-like portions 3A located at the rear of the plate-like base 1 is set as the above-mentioned first finger rest wall portion 3a, and the forward-facing surface of the other horizontally elongated plate-like portion 3A' located at the front of the plate-like base 1 is set as the second finger rest wall portion 3a'.

[0029] The structure for providing the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' is not limited to the structure described above (a pair of horizontally elongated plate-like portions 3A, 3A'). A convex portion may be provided on the upper surface of the plate-like base 1, with the rear-facing surface of this convex portion being the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the front-facing surface being the second finger rest wall portion 3a'; or a pair of concave portions may be provided at the front and rear positions of the upper surface of the plate-like base 1, with the rear-facing surface of the concave portion located at the rear of the plate-like base 1 being the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the front-facing surface of the concave portion located at the front of the plate-like base 1 being the second finger rest wall portion 3a'.

[0030] Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the first finger rest wall portion 3a is provided in a concave curved shape in plan view that slopes backward from the center to both left and right ends in the left and right width direction as viewed in the planar direction, and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' is provided in a concave curved shape in plan view that slopes forward from the center to both left and right ends in the left and right width direction as viewed in the planar direction. In other words, the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' are provided in a state where they are warped in opposite directions to each other.

[0031] Therefore, not only does the hand (fingers) fit snugly against the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the second finger rest wall portion 3a', but the gripping portion 3 becomes wider the further to the side, so that the hand (fingers) gripping the gripping portion 3 is prevented from slipping out to the side, and the gripping portion 3 can be firmly gripped, preventing it from falling out of the hand during processing.

[0032] In addition, the first finger rest wall portion 3a is provided in a convex curved shape when viewed from the rear such that the center is higher than both the left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from the rear, and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' is provided in a convex curved shape when viewed from the front such that the center is higher than both the left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from the front.

[0033] Therefore, when gripping the grip portion 3, the hand (palm) gripping the grip portion 3 does not hit the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' hard, and in this respect too, the grip portion 3 can be firmly gripped.

[0034] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, a first finger support wall portion 3b consisting of the inner surface of a horizontally long plate portion 3B protruding from the rear end of the plate-like base 1 is provided at a rear facing position of the first finger rest wall portion 3a, and this first finger support wall portion 3b is arranged so as to incline rearward as it approaches the upper side, while a second finger support wall portion 3b' consisting of the inner surface of a horizontally long plate portion 3B' protruding from the front end of the plate-like base 1 is provided at a front facing position of the second finger rest wall portion 3a', and is symmetrical in the front-to-rear direction to the first finger support wall portion 3b, and this second finger support wall portion 3b' is arranged so as to incline forward as it approaches the upper side.

[0035] When the inner part (ventral part) and the inner part of the base of the thumb are placed against this first finger rest wall part 3a, the outer part of the base of the thumb placed against this first finger rest wall part 3a is supported by the first finger support wall part 3b, and the outer parts (dorsal parts) of the other fingers whose inner parts (ventral parts) are placed against the second finger rest wall part 3a' are protected by the second finger support wall part 3b'. On the other hand, when the orientation of the food holder S is changed and the inner part (ventral part) and the inner part of the base of the thumb are placed against the second finger rest wall part 3a', the outer part of the base of the thumb placed against the second finger rest wall part 3a' is supported by the second finger support wall part 3b', and the outer parts (dorsal parts) of the other fingers whose inner parts (ventral parts) are placed against the first finger rest wall part 3a are protected by the first finger support wall part 3b.

[0036] In other words, the gripping portion 3 allows the user to immediately grip the food holder S in the correct manner without hesitation, regardless of which direction the food holder S is facing or which hand is dominant when the user tries to grip the food holder S.

[0037] In this embodiment, the left end of the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the left end of the first finger support wall portion 3b are connected to each other, and the right end of the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the right end of the second finger support wall portion 3b are connected to each other. A first finger placement recess 3' is provided on one side of the upper surface of the plate-shaped base 1, and is surrounded by the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the first finger support wall portion 3b, and a finger is placed therein. Meanwhile, the left end of the second finger rest wall portion 3a' and the left end of second finger support wall portion 3b' are connected, and the right end of second finger rest wall portion 3a' and the right end of second finger support wall portion 3b' are connected, and on the other side of the upper surface of the plate-shaped base 1 is provided a second finger placement recess 3'' surrounded by second finger rest wall portion 3a' and second finger support wall portion 3b' for placing the fingers, and this second finger placement recess 3'' is configured in a front-to-back symmetrical shape to the first finger placement recess 3'.

[0038] Therefore, when gripping the gripping part 3, the thumb is placed inside the first finger placement recess 3' and the other fingers are placed inside the second finger placement recess 3'', and in this respect too it can be firmly gripped and is prevented from falling out of the hand. Moreover, since the gripping hand (fingers) are surrounded by a wall, a safer condition is achieved, and ultimately the user can use it with peace of mind.

[0039] Since this embodiment is configured as described above, when processing food material F (cabbage), the food material F is gripped by the gripping part 3, fixed and held by the food material fixing part 2, and in this state, the food material F is cut by sliding it against the food material sliding surface 22 (blade part 23) (see Figs. 6 and 7). Reference numeral 10 denotes a container (bowl) that receives the cut food material CF cut by the food material cutting tool S.

[0040] The grip part 3 according to this embodiment is gripped with the inner part and base part of the thumb against the first finger rest wall part 3a, and the inner parts of the other fingers against the second finger rest wall part 3a'. At this time, the outer base part of the thumb against the first finger rest wall part 3a abuts against the first finger support wall part 3b provided at the rear facing position of the first finger rest wall part 3a, and since the first finger support wall part 3b is provided so as to be inclined rearward as it goes upward, the hand gripping the grip part 3 (especially the entire thumb from the fingertip to the base part) fits snugly, and the user can get a good feeling of holding.

[0041] Therefore, according to this embodiment, the gripping portion 3 can be firmly gripped, and furthermore, a gripping state can be obtained in which the base of the thumb is in contact with the gripping portion, making it easy to apply force, so that the food material F can be stably held and processed well.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment, the first finger support wall portion 3b also exhibits a guard function of protecting the fingers from the blade portion 23, allowing processing to be performed safely, and since the gripping portion 3 can be firmly gripped as described above, it will not fall out of the hand during processing, allowing processing to be performed even safely.

[0043] In this embodiment, the left end of the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the left end of the first finger support wall portion 3b are connected, and the right end of the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the right end of the second finger support wall portion 3b are connected, and the upper surface of the plate-shaped base 1 is provided with a first finger placement recess 3' surrounded by the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the first finger support wall portion 3b and in which the fingers are placed. In this respect too, the device can be firmly gripped and prevented from falling off the hand, and further, since the gripping hand (fingers) are surrounded by a wall, a safer state is obtained.

[0044] In this embodiment, a second finger support wall portion 3b' is provided at a front facing position of the second finger rest wall portion 3a', and this second finger support wall portion 3b' is provided so as to incline forward as it approaches the upper side. In addition, the left end portion of the second finger rest wall portion 3a' and the left end portion of the second finger support wall portion 3b' are connected to each other, and the right end portion of the second finger rest wall portion 3a' and the right end portion of the second finger support wall portion 3b' are connected to each other. The upper surface portion of the plate-shaped base 1 is surrounded by the second finger rest wall portion 3a' and the second finger support wall portion 3b', and a surface on which fingers are placed is provided. The second finger placement recess 3'' is configured to be symmetrical in the front-to-back direction with the first finger placement recess 3', and therefore it can be firmly gripped in this respect as well, preventing it from falling out of the hand. Moreover, a safer condition can be obtained by surrounding the gripping hand (fingers) with a wall. Furthermore, it is possible to grip the device with the thumb placed in the first finger placement recess 3' and also with the thumb placed in the second finger placement recess 3'', making it extremely easy to use.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first finger rest wall portion 3a is provided in a concave curved shape in a plan view that slopes backward from the center to both left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from a planar direction, and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' is provided in a concave curved shape in a plan view that slopes forward from the center to both left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from a planar direction. As a result, not only does the hand (fingers) fit snugly against the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the second finger rest wall portion 3a', but the hand (fingers) gripping the grip portion 3 is prevented from slipping out to the side, allowing the grip portion 3 to be firmly gripped, and preventing the grip portion 3 from dropping out of the hand during processing.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first finger rest wall portion 3a is provided in a convex curved shape when viewed from the rear such that the center is higher than both the left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from the rear, and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' is provided in a convex curved shape when viewed from the front such that the center is higher than both the left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from the front. Therefore, when gripping the grip portion 3, the hand (palm) gripping the grip portion 3 does not hit the first finger rest wall portion 3a and the second finger rest wall portion 3a' hard, and in this respect as well, the grip portion 3 can be firmly gripped.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plate-shaped base 1 has a convex curved shape when viewed from the rear, with the central portion being higher than both the left and right ends in the left and right width direction when viewed from the rear. Therefore, by making the upper surface of the plate-shaped base 1 convexly curved, the hand (thumb) gripping the gripping portion 3 fits snugly, and by making the lower surface of the plate-shaped base 1 concavely curved, when food F is held by the plate-shaped base 1, the food F is cradled, and the fixation by the food fixing portion 2 functions well.

[0048] Incidentally, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
