DESCRIPTION

Kitchen knife with two integrated fruit and vegetable peelers for left- and right-handed users.

Kitchen knives and other knives known in their traditional shape and design are mainly used for cutting fruit and vegetables.

For the traditional work steps: "cutting, peeling, scraping and cutting out" fruit and vegetables, several tools are required.

The invention specified in claims 1, 2 and 3 is based on the problem of creating a knife with which several operations can be carried out and which can also be handled equally by left- and right-handed people.

This problem is solved with the features listed in claims 1, 2 and 3.

The invention ensures that this knife with the two integrated fruit and vegetable peelers (5), the scraping devices (13), (16), (17) and the cutter (14) makes these operations much easier.

The knife, which is intended for daily private and professional use, still consists of the blade (1) and the handle (3).

The innovation is that in the blade (1), immediately in front of the handle (3), there is a rectangular, elongated recess (4) in the middle between the cutting edge (2) and the back (12). The recess can have a length of 45 mm ± and a width of 10 mm ±.

In this recess (4) there are two peelers (5) which are fixed to the blade (1) on the left and right in the cutting direction at an angle (9) of 20° ±.

The peelers have a sliding angle (7) at the front so that the cuttings are diverted and a sliding angle (8) at the back to avoid injuries.
The two peelers (5) are ground on the upper edge so that a peeling edge (6) is created at the peeling opening (10).

The fruit and vegetable peelers are attached to the back of the knife (12) at an angle (9) of 20° ±, as shown in Fig. 1, section A-B, so that the cut material is better directed upwards and therefore does not stick to the blade (1).

To allow the peeled product to slide downwards, the peelers (5) are narrower than the recess (4), so that openings (11) for the peeled product are created at the bottom, which allow peels of 2 to 3 mm thickness to pass through.

Embodiments are explained with reference to Figs. 1 to 3.
Here we show:

Fig. 1: a rigid design with a transverse toothing as

Scraping device and cutter.
Fig. 2: a movable version with roughened scraping device and

Cookie cutters.

Fig. 3: a movable version with sharp longitudinal edges as
Scraping device and a cutting

Normally, you peel in the direction of your body, but you can also use this knife to peel longer items, such as asparagus, carrots, etc., using the opposite peeler (5) to peel away from your body without having to turn the knife around in your hand.

This means that left- and right-handed people can work safely and comfortably in any situation.

The further development according to claims 2 and 3 represents peelers (5) which are mounted in a pendulum-like manner in order to be able to detect unevenness in the material to be peeled even better.

The pendulum-like bearings (15), which are mounted on the left and right of the blade (1), in front of and behind the recess (4), have a stop (18) which opens a peeling opening (10) at the top of 2 to 3 mm for the peelers (5), as shown in Fig. 2, section C-D.

The bearings (15) are mounted in such a way that when the knife is tilted towards the material to be peeled, the respective peeler tilts away from the knife at the top - Fig. 2 - Section C-D, in order to free the material to be peeled opening (10).

The peelers (5) on the left and right are 1 to 2 mm shorter than the recess (4) so that they can swing in it.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 3.

These are scraping devices (13, 16, 17) and a cutter (14), as shown in Fig. 1 to 3.

The scraping device (13) on the back of the knife (12) is a saw-like cross-toothing. The roughening (16) or the sharp longitudinal edges (17) on the left and right in Fig. 3, sections E-F on the back of the knife also represent scraping devices as shown in Fig. 1 to 3.

The scraping device allows you to gently clean and scrape fruit and vegetables.

The cutter (14), which is attached behind the scraping device (13) at the height of the peeler on the back of the knife, is very suitable for removing dirt and damaged areas on fruit and vegetables, as well as for scoring thick, fleshy peels, such as oranges, etc. Working with the cutter is less dangerous because the cutting edge (2) of the knife is no longer required.

The cutter makes peeling easier because it provides a sliding surface for the peeler (5). All operations: "cutting, peeling, scraping and cutting out" can be carried out quickly and easily without having to turn the knife over in your hand.

Safety during work processes is increased by the fact that the cutting edge (2) of the knife points away from the body during every handling.
