A device includes a blade, which is movable within an associated working space for cutting product units, and a conveying device in which the product units can be individually conveyed into the working space of the blade. The conveying device includes at least one two-part conveying channel associated with the blade, in which on one side first conveyor elements and on the other side second conveyor elements are guided, which are assigned to one another in pairs and which have each a recess for partially receiving a separated product unit. The sides of the first and second conveyor elements, which are facing one another, delimit therebetween the free working space, so that the blade is guidable within the working space partially or completely through the product units held in the first and second conveyor elements which correspond to one another.

A hand-operated lettuce-cutting appliance with a chassis has a cutter grid and positioning device for positioning the chassis on at least one support. The appliance further includes a guide well having a bottom end extending adjacent to and facing said cutter grid and a vegetable-pusher device mounted to slide along at least one column fastened to the chassis so as to extend parallel to the well. The vegetable-pusher device has a body shaped so as to engage in the well in order to push the vegetable through the cutter grid.

A topping sheet forming method includes: feeding a textile original fabric, obtained by weaving longitudinally aligned tire cords into a cord fabric by use of weft yams; cutting off the weft yarns at a predetermined widthwise position to divide the textile original fabric into a plurality of narrow textile original fabrics; and topping at least one surface of the narrow textile original fabric with unvulcanized rubber.

A food processing system includes a base and an actuator that is releasably mounted to the base. The actuator may have an unactuated position and an actuated position. Numerous accessories each may be individually and interchangeably mountable to and releasable from at least one of the base and the actuator. Each attachment may perform a food processing function when the actuator is moved from the unactuated position to the actuated position.

A hot wire cutting machine. Hot wire cutting machine comprises a heated wire (101); springs (102 and 102a) and grooved rods (103, 104 and 401) supported on end bearings (402 and 403) and optional bearings (404) at middle of the rod (103, 104 and 401) wherein the rod (401) is coupled to a motor 504 for rotating the rod (401) in the direction of wire movement due to thermal effects and achieve minimum rubbing between wire and rod. The composite cutting wire comprises a first wire (1209) which is thicker, braided, high-strength, low electrical resistance joined with a second wire 1201 which is having high-electrical resistance (NiChrome) wherein the first wire (1209) and second wire (1201) are joined by manual twisting/welding and the first wire (1209) is capable of withstanding bending cycles moving over threaded/grooved rod (1203) and oscillated along its length by to-fro rotation of splined shaft (1204).
