Cookie cutter

Abstract

We provide a cookie cutter that cuts out unspecified shapes using multiple parts, without creating a cylindrical shape. [Solution] A cookie cutter characterized by having an open section on all of the various cutter parts, which have no bumps or irregularities on the sides, the upper part of the cutter part is slightly bulging compared to the lower part, the uppermost part of the cutter part is arc-shaped, and each cutter part does not become a cylindrical shape independently, whether in use or not.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cookie cutter that cuts an unspecified shape with a plurality of partial parts without creating a cylindrical shape.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, the most common-shaped cookie cutters had a single mold. There was also a cookie mold that uses part-connecting means to create a closed cylindrical shape of multiple patterns (see Patent Document 2).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] For this reason, there were the following problems. (a) Conventionally, only one shape could be cut out with one cutter, which was inconvenient for storage. (b) When extracting the dough, due to the closed cylindrical cutting mold, the separation of the dough from the mold was poor. (c) Restrictions on the combination of male and female parts of the part-connecting means and difficulty in cleaning due to the complexity of the shape. (d) When creating one cutting shape, if there were identical parts (such as two ear parts of an animal), the number of parts required was equal to the number of those parts. The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] Provide an open part without closing for all cutter parts of various shapes without concavities and convexities on the side surfaces. The upper part of the cutter part is slightly more bulging than the lower part, and the very top of the upper part of the cutter part is arc-shaped. Whether in use or not, each cutter part remains separate and does not form a cylindrical shape. This cookie cutter has the above characteristics. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] (i) There are no restrictions on how the cutter parts can be combined, and there are no restrictions on the size of the shapes that can be cut out. (b) When creating a single shape to be cut out, even if there are multiple identical parts, only one cutter part is needed. (h) It does not form a tube, so the dough does not separate easily. (ii) With all parts open, there are no protrusions on the sides, making it easy to wash and keep clean. (e)(i) and (ii) require fewer parts and do not take up much storage space, and materials can be saved significantly. Also, there are no protrusions on the sides, making it easy to store them together. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view showing an example using 1-a and 1-b of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a perspective view showing examples using 1-b, 1-c, and 1-e of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the present invention. (i) All cutter parts (1) of various shapes that have no protrusions or indentations on the sides are provided with an open section that is not closed. (b) The upper part (2) of the cutter part is slightly more bulging than the lower part, and the uppermost part of the upper part (2) of the cutter part is arc-shaped. (h) In both the unused and used states, each cutter part (1) is independent and does not form a cylindrical shape. The present invention has the configuration described above. When using this invention, the cutter part (1) is pressed vertically against the cookie dough to cut. Press the next cutter part (1) onto the dough, connecting it to the tip of the section (3) cut by the previous cutter part. Also, as shown in Figure 3, it is possible to continuously press and connect a single cutter part (1), or to use it in multiple locations. By connecting the cut pieces (3) made with the cutter part one by one, you can cut out cookie dough in any shape and size without any restrictions. The upper part (2) of the cutter is slightly more bulging than the lower part, making it easier to grip and lift. The top part of the cutter part (2) has an arc shape and gentle corners, which prevents finger pain when gripping or pressing. Note that the uppermost part of the cutter part (2) does not have to be arc-shaped; it can be trapezoidal or flat. [Explanation of Symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] This cookie cutter features various cutter parts with smooth sides and open sections, with the top of each cutter part being slightly more bulging than the bottom, and the very top of each cutter part being arc-shaped. In both the unused and used states, each cutter part does not form a cylindrical shape independently.
