Description

The invention relates to a device for dividing vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, cucumber, consisting of a cylindrical housing in which a first end portion near a cutting device is arranged, wherein the housing has on its inner peripheral surface integrally formed guide ribs extending from the second end portion of the housing extend to the cutting device, so that a cutting ram, which has guide gaps corresponding to the guide ribs, from the second end portion of the housing to the cutting device is inserted.

From the documentally unassignable prior art, such a device for dividing vegetables is already known. However, the basically advantageous device has the disadvantage that the application area is relatively small.

Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide a novel device for cutting vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, cucumber, which is simple to set up and manufacture, and has a wider range of applications.

The solution of the problem results from the features of claim 1:
Apparatus for dividing vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, cucumber, comprising a cylindrical housing in which a cutting device is arranged near a first end region, wherein the housing has guide ribs integrally formed on its inner circumferential surface and extending from the second end region of the housing to the cutting device, such that a cutting ram having guide gaps corresponding to the guide ribs can be inserted from the second end region of the housing to the cutting device, characterized in that the cutting device arranged in the housing is formed from a first, fixed cutting knife and at least one second, rotatable cutting knife which at least can adopt a mutually aligned and a non-aligned position to each other.

The device according to the invention has the significant advantage that you can cut with her in particular "rod-like" vegetables in a cutting process not only in four, but also in eight strips as desired, whereby the range of application of the device is significantly increased.

In principle, the device according to the invention is held with one hand above a receptacle, while pressing the vegetables or the cutting punch into the housing with the other hand.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cutting device of three fixed, arranged at right angles to each other cutting blades and two rotatable, arranged at right angles to each other cutting blades.

A further embodiment is characterized in that the housing is provided at the first end region with a detachable housing extension. This has the advantage that it is possible - in contrast to the above-mentioned mode of operation - to put the device on a countertop, for example, hold with his left hand and move the cutting ram with his right hand in the direction of working surface.

Finally, the invention also includes a device in which between the inner peripheral surface of the housing and the cutting punch a centering device for smaller round vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, is removably arranged.

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment. Show it:

1 a perspective view of the device for dividing vegetables,

2 an exploded view of in 1 illustrated device,

3 and 4 Representations of different cutting blade positions of the device according to 1 in bottom view,

5a and 5b Representations of an application of the device without cutting punch in an elongated vegetables,

6a and 6b Representations of the application of the device with cutting punch in an elongated vegetables and

7 Representation of the labor input using a centering device with smaller round vegetables.

In the drawings, a device for dividing vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, cucumber is indicated by the reference numeral 10 designated.

In the 1 is the device 10 shown in a diagonal view. In conjunction with the 2 you realize that the device 10 from a housing 11 with a first end area 12 and a second end region 13 is provided. The first end area 12 is as a turning ring 14 designed and has in its interior two at right angles to each other arranged cutting blade 15 onto. 3 / 4 ).

Adjacent to the turning ring 14 as well as the cutting knife 15 is beyond the case 11 additionally with two also at right angles arranged cutting blades 16 provided (s. 3 and 4 ).

Starting from the second end area 13 of the housing 11 the latter has guide ribs integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface 17 (S. 2 ), which extends into the above-described cutting blade arrangement 15 . 16 into it.

A cutting punch 18 with an actuating surface 19 also has ribs offset by 90 ° 20 on, with longitudinal crevices 21 are provided with the guide ribs 17 of the housing 11 correspond.

In addition, in the exploded view according to 2 a centering device 22 to recognize for small round vegetables, which is used only optional before the cutting.

Ultimately, the rotary ring 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the housing 11 marks 23 arranged, from which one can recognize, in which of the two cutting positions (4-fold division, 8-fold division), the device 10 located. These cutting positions of the device 10 are in the 3 and 4 shown.

In the 3 and 4 are the bottom views of the 1 to recognize. The device 10 has aligned cutting blades 15 and 16 on, so when inserting an elongated vegetable 24 four strip-shaped vegetable pieces 24x ( 6a and 6b ) would be cut. By turning the turning ring 14 counterclockwise starting from the in the 1 shown position, which in turn results in bottom view in 3 illustrated situation at the cutting knife 15 of the rotary ring 14 offset by 45 ° to the cutting blades 16 of the housing 11 are arranged. As a result, a total of 8 rod-shaped pieces of vegetables are thus cut in such a cutting process.

In the 5a and 5b is the device in the side view 10 without the use of the cutting punch 18 shown. According to 5 becomes elongated vegetables 24 first by hand so far through the device 10 pushed it completely into the housing 11 dips. In partial section 5b you realize that then the elongated vegetables 24 from the cutting blades 16 / 15 in four or eight pieces of vegetables 24x is divided.

After that, the results in 6 illustrated situation. The cutting punch 18 is so above the case 11 positioned that guide ribs 17 in the longitudinal column 21 the cutting punch 18 be introduced. Thereafter, pressure is applied to the actuating surface 19 the cutting punch 18 towards the cutting knives 15 . 16 moves and at the same time the elongated vegetables 24 through the cutting device 16 . 15 pressed.

Ultimately, the shows 7 in the plan view of the second end region 13 the device 10 the use of the centering device 22 in connection with the splitting of a small round vegetable 25 , The centering device 22 has - as the name suggests - only the goal that the small round vegetables 25 centrally in the housing 11 is held. In a manner not shown now the cutting punch 18 in the case 11 be introduced and squeeze the small round vegetables 25 through the cutting device 16 . 15 so that then four or eight parts arise.
