PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide rollers for a rice molding device and the rice molding device capable of molding a rice molding having a satisfactory texture at a high speed while suppressing the generation of the defect in the molding of a rice molding.SOLUTION: Provided are rollers (43, 44) for a rice molding device fitted to a rice molding device (100) molding rice into rice moldings at a pair and rotating mutually in reverse directions, comprising storage parts (43a, 44a) molding the rice moldings. The storage parts include: bottom wall faces (43a3, 44a3) in front of the rotary direction upper wall faces (43a2, 44a2) at the back of the rotary direction and side wall faces (43a1, 44a1) connecting the bottom wall faces and the upper wall faces, and, when the storage parts of a pair of the rollers are confronted, the lines connecting the respective bottom wall faces of a pair of the rollers are projected to the back of the rotary direction of a pair of the rollers viewed from the front face.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】米飯成形物の成形不良の発生を抑制しつつ、食感のよい米飯成形物を高速で成形することができる米飯成形装置用ローラと米飯成形装置とを得る。【解決手段】米飯を米飯成形物に成形する米飯成形装置(100)に一対で取り付けられて互いに逆方向に回転する米飯成形装置用ローラ(43、44)であって、米飯成形物を成形する収納部(43a、44a)を備え、収納部は、回転方向の前方の底壁面(43a3、44a3)と、回転方向の後方の上壁面(43a2、44a2)と、底壁面と上壁面とを結ぶ側壁面(43a1、44a1)と、を備え、一対のローラの収納部が対向するとき、一対のローラそれぞれの底壁面を結ぶ線は、正面視において、一対のローラの回転方向の後方に凸である、ことを特徴とする。【選択図】図5
