PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce cost of device, and to improve productivity, by cutting root crops cut in a constant scale by operation of one driving means, and by pressing the root crops cut in the constant scale to an end cutting cutter and cutting the end.SOLUTION: An end cutting device includes a storing storage cylinder 52, a constant scale cutter 41 arranged under the storage cylinder 52 and cutting the root crops in the constant scale, the end cutting cutter 12 arranged in front of the root crops cut by the constant scale cutter 41, and a pressing means 30 driven to press the root crops cut in the constant scale to the end cutting cutter 12. The constant scale cutter 41 is arranged so that an edge becomes the pressing means 30 direction on the end cutting cutter 12 side, and the storage cylinder 52 is movably arranged in the same direction as the moving direction of a pressing block 36 of the pressing means 30, and is energized to the pressing means 30 side by a spring 54 to be positioned above between the constant scale cutter 41 and the pressing means 30 when the pressing block 36 is positioned in a retreat position.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】1つの駆動手段の作動で根菜類を定寸カットと定寸カットされた根菜類をつま切り刃物に押し付けてつま切りさせることができ、 装置の低廉化と生産性の向上を図る。【解決手段】収納する収納筒52と、収納筒52の下方に配設され根菜類を定寸カットする定寸用カッター41と、定寸用カッター41でカットされた根菜類の前方に配設されたつま切り刃物12と、定寸カットされた根菜類をつま切り刃物12に押し付けるように駆動される押圧手段30とを備えている。定寸用カッター41は、つま切り刃物12側で刃先が押圧手段30方向になるように配設され、収納筒52は、押圧手段30の押圧ブロック36の移動方向と同方向に移動可能に設けられ、押圧ブロック36が後退位置に位置する時は、定寸用カッター41と押圧手段30間の上方に位置するようにばね54で押圧手段30側に付勢されている。【選択図】 図1
