Many animal previously known constructions of this type are ujegsn their complicated design too expensive to use to ensure in the household. On the other hand, the existing relatively simple devices are intended to to be placed on a flat surface on which they must be attached or screwed in order to to be able to cut. The severed food slices usiu. will consequently fall on the rigid surface. UJeiters requires, for example, the adjustment of the knife or the Removing the knife for sharpening or cleaning, cumbersome work of dismantling and re- assemble. Another serious disadvantage is that these previously known devices to to enable the knife to be exchanged from a large number of individual parts connected by screws between which food scraps, crumbs and debris can collect. For a decent one The cutting machine must therefore be completely dismantled into its individual components and cleaning clean them individually "

The present innovation aims to eliminate these disadvantages and this is achieved through an improvement, which consists in that the cutting device consists of two substantially flat plates, which are in different Height in an oblong frame and in the longitudinal direction of the frame arranged in a staggered position

aind, with the lower plate in terms of the angle, which it includes with the top plate, can be adjusted and the top plate with a set at intervals arranged, the top of said plate protruding upwards and to the longitudinal axis of the frame parallel knife is equipped. To allow easy adjustment of the lower plate to the upper plate can ensure the former made of an elastic material and only attached to that of the top plate the far end to be attached to the frame, the frame with a vertically adjustable support for the lower plate are provided and this support can have an adjusting screw acting on this plate. the lower real knives can be mounted on a rod attached to the bearing or to the undersurface of the top plate is detachably attached and the top plate can be slotted through which the vertically positioned knife is inserted can be provided. A handle can be attached to the end of the frame carrying the lower plate and the panels can be spaced with sets of arranged, running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the frame ribs are provided.

The cutting device of the present innovation is a simple hand-held device that is used to carry out cutting work is suitable by holding it with one hand directly over the point where the sections are to be placed

o That way need the clipped Pieces no longer need to be moved, which saves time and is more hygienic to manipulate than was previously possible. This is important, especially when cutting off parts of a single piece of food Place mill in several places, e.g. cheese slices on topped 3 red ones.

The vertical knives can be removed with a simple movement, which saves time and the Reduced risk of cuts. In addition, the cutting device according to the control can be easily cleaned because it consists of a small number of parts, all of which are easy to clean are accessible.

Further features and advantages of the innovation will become clear from the description below, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing a special execution form represent the same as an example, referred to here.
