Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-functional peeler, and in particular, it can peel fruits and vegetables by pushing forward or pulling forward, and can also be used for various purposes such as scooping out the fruits in the center of gourd fruits and scraping the scales of fish.
Background Art
[0002] When peeling fruits such as apples and pears and vegetables such as carrots with conventional peelers, the peeling was done by pushing forward or pulling forward in a single direction, so the peeling efficiency was low and it took a long time to peel.
[0003] Also, when scooping out the fruit cores in the center of gourd fruits such as papayas and bitter gourds, a spoon was used. Generally, the shape and size of the spoon were too small, so the operation of scooping out the fruit cores had to be repeated multiple times, which took time. Also, a large spoon was too large to be used.
[0004] Also, when scraping the scales of fish, generally a scale remover was used. Therefore, as described above, three types of tools had to be purchased in the kitchen, which was troublesome for storage. Also, when the family went out, traveled, or camped, it was necessary to carry the above three types of tools, which was very inconvenient.
[0005] In view of the drawbacks of the above-described conventional structures, the inventor of the present invention has conducted intensive research, made improvements and prototypes, and as a result, completed the present invention.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006] The main object of the present invention is to provide a multi-functional peeler that improves the problems of the prior art, which had only a single peeling function and could only peel fruits and vegetables by pushing forward or pulling backward in a single direction, resulting in low peeling efficiency and taking a long time.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-functional peeler comprising a handle and a peeler blade, wherein the handle is formed by bending a U-shaped plate, has a clamping opening at the front end, has a circular-arc-shaped punching portion at the bottom end, the cross-section of the handle is in the shape of "く", both ends of the U-shaped plate have stopper portions respectively within the clamping opening, both ends of the peeler blade are pivotally attached to the clamping opening, a long slot opening is provided on the peeler blade, and both sides of the long slot opening respectively have saw teeth.
Effects of the Invention
[0008] The multi-functional peeler according to the present invention can peel fruits and vegetables in both directions by pushing the peeler blade forward or pulling it backward, can punch out the fruits in the center of gourd fruits with the punching portion, and can be used for various purposes such as scraping the scales of fish with both sides of the handle.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0010] In order to disclose the technical means of the present invention and the effects achievable thereby more completely and clearly, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the disclosed accompanying drawings and reference numerals. However, the present invention is not limited by such drawings.
[0011] First, refer to FIGS. 1 to 7. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the multifunctional peeler according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 10 and a peeler blade 50.
[0012] The handle 10 is formed by bending a U-shaped plate 1, has a clamping opening 20 at the front end, and has a circular-arc-shaped scooping portion 30 at the bottom end. The cross-section of the handle 10 is in a "く" shape with an inclination angle of 10 to 20 degrees. Both ends of the U-shaped plate 1 have stopper portions 40 in the clamping opening 20.
[0013] The peeler blade 50 is pivotally attached at both ends within the clamping opening 20. A long slot opening 51 is provided on the peeler blade 50. Both sides of the long slot opening 51 have saw teeth 52 respectively. A fixed rod 60 is provided in parallel at an adjacent position of the peeler blade 50. Both ends of the fixed rod 60 are fixed within the handle 10.
[0014] As can be understood from the above description, the present invention has the following effects (1) to (3). (1) By using the saw teeth 52 provided on both sides of the long slot opening 51 of the peeler blade 50, the peeler blade 50 can be pushed forward or pulled forward to peel the skins of vegetables and fruits in both directions, so it is easy to use. (2) The handle 10 is formed by bending the U-shaped plate 1. The bottom end of the handle 10 has a cutout 30 formed in an arc shape. By using the cutout 30, the fruit at the center of the melon or fruit can be easily scooped out. (3) The handle 10 is formed by bending the U-shaped plate 1. Move the handle 10 back and forth to scrape the scales of the fish on both sides.
[0015] As can be seen from the above, the multifunctional peeler according to the present invention can be used for various purposes, so there is no need to purchase and use other tools.
[0016] As can be understood by those skilled in the art of this field, although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as described above, these are by no means intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the gist and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the utility model registration claims of the present invention should be broadly interpreted including such changes and modifications.
