The invention relates to a food comminution device having a base part, which bears a cutting part, and having an actuation part, which actuation part is articulatedly fixed to the base part and can be pivoted from a loading position toward the cutting part into a closed position in order to push food items for comminution through the cutting part and can subsequently be pivoted from the closed position into the loading position again. The food comminution device is characterized in that the base part has the outer contour of a cuboid as its outer contour, and in that the food comminution device has a collecting container, and in that, on one face surface of the base part, there is provided an opening for the sliding-in of the collecting container into the base part, and in that the cutting part is arranged on a first side surface of the base part, which side surface is adjacent to the face surface, and in that the cutting part and the actuation part are constituent parts of a first comminution tool, and in that the base part is a constituent part of a further comminution tool, and/or at least one further comminution tool is fixed to the base part, wherein the further comminution tool is arranged on a further side surface of the base part, which further side surface is adjacent to the face surface, and in that the collecting container can be arranged in the base part selectively in a first position, in which said collecting container collects food items comminuted by way of the first comminution tool, or in a second position, which differs from the first position and in which said collecting container collects the food items comminuted by way of the second comminution tool.

A slicer is provided which slices a slicing subject with a uniform thickness and can be used in a sanitized manner. The slicer includes a resin-made frame which supports both ends of a slicing blade, a resin-made movable support plate attached to the frame so as to be able to ascend and descend, first reinforcing members buried in the frame, a second reinforcing member buried at one end of the movable support member in a width direction, and a third reinforcing member buried at the other end. The first reinforcing members, the second reinforcing member, and the third reinforcing member absorb bending stress acting on the slicer.

A food slicer includes a frame for supporting a landing and a runway, which is movable relative to the landing. A cutting blade is secured on an upstream end of the landing. A separate cutting knife is moveably connected to the frame. An adjustment mechanism is connected to the frame to adjust an offset between the cutting blade and the runway. The adjustment mechanism includes first and second guide tracks provided on respective first and second movable cam plates, and a gear mechanism for moving the first and second cam plates along a length direction of the food slicer.

Knife assemblies having primary and secondary blades and at least one tab blade. The primary and secondary blades each have a corrugated shape as a result of defining a wave pattern that defines peaks and valleys. The primary and secondary blades each further having upper and lower surfaces, leading and trailing edges, and a depth defined by and between the leading and trailing edges. The upper surface of the primary blade and the lower surface of the secondary blade are complementary so that the secondary blade and the peaks and valleys thereof are able to nest on the primary blade and the peaks and valleys thereof. The secondary blade has at least one tab blade that projects from one of its peaks and is defined by a cut in the peak to form a tab that is bent so that the tab projects from the peak.

The invention relates to a method for cutting fruit, vegetables or similar, to a cutting tool (1) for cutting fruit, vegetables or similar, to an applicator (8) for use in a cutting tool (1) and to a dosing device. According to the invention, a fluid is supplied to a blade (4) of a cutting tool (1), preferably a cutting edge (6) of said blade (4).

The secondary blade has at least one tab blade that projects from one of its peaks and is defined by a cut in the peak to form a tab that is bent so that the tab projects from the peak.

A mandoline cutting apparatus includes a frame, a carriage assembly having a slicing blade, the carriage assembly being slidably moveable relative to the frame to slice a food item with the slicing blade, a food chute pivotally connected to the frame and moveable between a closed position and an open position, and a locking mechanism for locking the food chute in a closed position.

Disclosed is an adjustable structure of a food slicer. A planer body includes an upper cutting plate and a back plate, a lower cutting plate is movably disposed on the planer body and at a front side of the back plate, the lower cutting plate is driven by the adjustable structure to move on the planer body to adjust a height difference between an upper plane of the upper cutting plate and an upper plane of the lower cutting plate. According to the present application, with the adoption of the meshing transmission of the sliding teeth and the gear, a linear motion in the up-down direction is converted into a lifting motion of the lower cutting plate in cooperation with the chutes, the transmission is stable and the adjustment is fast and convenient.

A food product slicer includes a base, a knife mounted for rotation, and a carriage assembly mounted to the base for movement back and forth past a cutting edge of the knife, with a tray is removably connected to a tray mount of a tray arm. A movable gauge plate is provided for varying slice thickness, and a gauge plate indexing assembly is provided for moving the gauge plate between a closed position and multiple open positions. An interlock assembly is provided between the tray mount and the gauge plate indexing assembly, wherein the interlock assembly comprises a tension only cable system that is configured to (i) prevent removal of the tray from the tray mount unless the gauge plate is in the closed position and (ii) prevent movement of the gauge plate out of the closed position when the tray is removed from the tray mount.

A food cutting device includes a housing and a cutting mechanism, wherein a feeding port is arranged at one side of the housing, and a discharging port is arranged at the other side of the housing; the cutting mechanism includes a cutting portion and a push-pull portion for controlling reciprocating movement of the cutting portion; the cutting portion includes a sliding component, a first cutter and a plurality of second cutters; the sliding component is slidably connected with the housing; both the first cutter and the second cutters are located on the side of the sliding component close to the feeding port, and are detachably connected with the sliding component; and the first cutter is parallel to a sliding direction of the sliding component, and is not parallel to the second cutters. The food cutting device can meet various cutting requirements of people and is efficient.
