PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for forming a pressed Sushi enabling production of a pressed Sushi having good eating quality by entirely and evenly eliminating moisture and air from Sushi materials.SOLUTION: The device for forming a pressed Sushi includes: a pair of upper and lower pressing members which are mounted on respective rack gears, move along with the movement of the respective rack gears and come close to or separate from each other a molding frame where the Sushi materials including a sheet-like boiled rice are charged in a layered condition and a pair of upper and lower plate-like members which are engaged with each other to be longitudinally movable along the inner wall of the molding frame and are set up to sandwich the Sushi materials charged into the molding frame from above and below. The device is structured so that the upper pressing member abuts on the upper plate-like member, the lower pressing member abuts on the lower plate-like member respectively and the Sushi materials are compressed from above and below when a pair of the pressing members move to come close to each other along with the drive of a driving means.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】寿司材の水分や空気を全体に満遍なく抜いて食感の良い押し寿司を製造することのできる押し寿司成形装置を提供する。【解決手段】各ラックギアに設けられ、各ラックギアの移動に伴って移動し、相互に近接、離間される上下一対の押圧部材と、シート状の米飯を含む寿司材が積層して投入される成形型枠と、該成形型枠の内壁に沿って上下動可能に係合され、成形型枠内に投入された寿司材を上下方向から挟むように設けられる上下一対の板状部材とを備え、駆動手段の駆動に伴って、一対の押圧部材が互いに近接するように動作された際に、上側の押圧部材が上側の板状部材に、下側の押圧部材が下側の板状部材にそれぞれ当接して、寿司材を上下方向から圧縮するように構成される。【選択図】図1
