PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further increase holding power for a food material in a working device for a food material that rotates the food material to work on it with a cutting blade.SOLUTION: There is provided a working device for a food material which has first and second holding parts 341 and 351 opposed to each other in a prescribed rotation axis line L1, rotates a food material 8 whose both ends are held by the first and second holding parts 341 and 351 around the rotation axis line L1, and causes a cutting blade 7 to work on the food material 8 to form the food material 8 into a prescribed rotary shape. Each of the first and second holding parts 341 and 351 has a base shaft part 36 that extends along the rotation axis line L1 and two piercing pieces 37 that protrude from the tip surface 361 of the base shaft part 36. The two piercing pieces 37 are separated from each other sandwiching the rotation axis line L1 in a rotation axis line direction view, and have a flat shape along a diameter passing through the rotation axis line L1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】食材を回転させてこの食材に切削刃による細工を行う食材用細工装置において、食材の保持力をより高める。【解決手段】所定の回転軸線L1方向に対向する第1および第2保持部341,351を有し、両端が上記第1および第2保持部341,451によって保持された食材8を上記回転軸線L1周りに回転させ、上記食材8に切削刃7を作用させて当該食材8を所定の回転体形状に成形する食材用細工装置であって、上記第1および第2保持部341,351は、それぞれ、上記回転軸線L1に沿って延びる基軸部36と、この基軸部36の先端面361から突出する2本の刺し込み片37と、を有しており、上記2本の刺し込み片37は、上記回転軸線方向視において、上記回転軸線L1を挟んで互いに離間しており、かつ、上記回転軸線L1を通る直径に沿う偏平形状をしている。【選択図】 図3
