PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shell peeler capable of peeling the shell of various peanuts of different sizes and shapes.SOLUTION: A shell peeler 1 includes: an inner cylinder 2 having a vertically extending shaft line G; an external cylinder 3 which is coaxially placed with an axis of the inner cylinder 2 and surrounds the inner cylinder 2 having a gap S between the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 2 and itself; and rotation means which relatively rotates the inner cylinder 2 and the external cylinder 3 around the axis line G. The width of the gap S is narrower as being closer to the bottom. The inner cylinder 2 is formed with a plurality of first holes 10 opening on an outer peripheral surface 2a. The external cylinder 3 is formed with a plurality of second holes 11 opening on an inner peripheral surface 3a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】大きさや形状の異なる様々な落花生の殻を剥くことの可能な殻剥き機を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の殻剥き機1は、軸線Gが上下方向に延びる内筒2と、内筒2と同軸配置されて、内筒2の外周面との間に隙間Sを隔てて内筒2を包囲する外筒3と、軸線G回りに内筒2と外筒3とを相対的に回転させる回転手段とを備える。隙間Sの幅は、下側になるほど狭い。内筒2には、外周面2aに開口する第一穴10が複数形成されている。外筒3には、内周面3aに開口する第二穴11が複数形成されている。【選択図】図4
