Household cutting device with the basic shape of an apple cutter

The invention relates to a household cutting device, of the basic shape of an apple cutter with a one lateral ejection opening having a cutter tube and a rear handle.

Such apple cutters, also called apple corers, are known in many embodiments. However in a normal household they are only used relatively seldom within a year, since they are used for other incidental cutting or garnishing work cannot be used.

The invention has the objective to extend such Apfelausstecher to a multi-purpose, household cutting device.

To achieve this object, it is provided according to the invention that the handle is hollow and as an extension of the ejection opening it is open that a blade with a V- or U-shaped cross-section is mounted on the handle so that it can be folded out, which in the non-use position completely in the cavity of the handle and possibly also partially in the cavity of the cutter is covered, and that the cutter is about a hand's width and in the area of its ejection opening is designed as a second handle of the cutting device.

The Haushc.lts cutting device according to the invention can be used in folded blade can be used in the usual way as an apple core cutter, in which case the The folded-in blade is hidden within the handle and possibly the cutter tube in such a way that there is no danger a finger injury on the blade is excluded. After folding out the blade, the cutter is now grasped on the cutter tube designed as a second handle, and can with this blade - depending on its shape A wide variety of cutting work such as peeling, punching, notch grooving, etc., can be carried out.

According to further features of the invention, the blade can advantageously be folded out backwards by 180 and There are locking cams on the handle side and locking tongues on the blade side to secure the folded and unfolded blade. The blade can have beveled edges on both ends and cut into an apple cutters laterally offset position can be folded out. As a result of these measures, it can be folded out far back Front end of the blade for cutting out points in, for example, orange peel and so on. be used, so that the cutter can be used as a garnish cutter. At the same time it is also possible to use the The end of the unfolded blade facing the handle is notched out with a pulling blade to be cut and to use the cutter as a so-called groove cutter.

In a further embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the blade as a double lever with unequal lengths Arms is stored and that on the longer, when not in use position protruding into the cutter tube a blade arm Economy knife double cutting edge is provided on the back of the blade. This means that the cutting device can also be used as a peeler usable.

In a further development of the invention it can be provided that ■ the back of the blade in the retracted blade of Ausstechrohres is remote from the ejection opening and that the hand ~ \ attacked the side opposite the Klingenausklappseite side inwardly of the blade folding axis having a finger hole, which, on a smooth cut to the saving knife-double "adjacent area of the longer arm of one t folded blade is aligned As a result of these measures iS perform the folding and unfolding of the blade relatively simple I and without risk of injury When folding |.."

i According to another very advantageous characteristic of the invention \ the Ausstechrohr may carry a toward the front end slightly conical tapered piercing sleeve. This makes it much easier to remove the carved apple casing from the cutter tube,

Finally, according to the invention, the cutter and the sheet steel blade and the aluminum handle exist.

9 shows, on an enlarged scale, a section through the front, conical piercing sleeve of the Cutting device.

The cutting device has the basic shape of an apple cutter 1 illustrated in FIG. 1, which consists of a cutter tube 3 having a lateral ejection opening 2 and a rear handle 4. In the exemplary embodiment, the handle is a U-shaped die-cast aluminum body, on the forwardly directed, relatively long side leg 5, 6 of which the cutting tube 3 made of sheet steel is riveted. The Ausstechrohr 3 is formed in the region of approximately a hand's breadth discharge port 2 as a half-tube \ or half-cylinder shell and carries a front

with a bevel 7, longitudinally slit piercing sleeve 8,

which tapers slightly conically towards the front, as can be seen in particular from the detailed illustration according to FIG. 9 is.

In Fig. 1 - as far as covered by dash-dotted lines - a lying within the handle 4 and the cutter tube 3 Blade 9 shown, which is provided near its rear end with two bearing eyes 10 and formed by rivets around one Folding axis 11 can be folded out through 180 ° into the position shown in FIG. 2, in which this blade 9 is antiparallel, but laterally offset to the main axis of the apple cutter is directed backwards. The edges of the discharge opening

are deburred and blunted so that the cutter tube in the position of FIG. 2 can be used as a handle.

In the exemplary embodiment, the blade 9 is V-shaped in cross section, with the blade back 12 when folded in The blade faces the back wall 3a of the cutting tube 3 or faces away from the throwing opening 2. The blade 9 has bevels 13, 14 provided at both ends V-shaped cutting edges 15, 16. The blade 9 is designed as a double lever with arms 17, 18 of unequal length (see Fig. 3) provided, and on the longer blade arm 18 a Sparmessei double cutting edge 19 is provided on the back of the blade, so that the Device can also be used as a peeler.

To secure the two positions, the blade 9 is provided with two locking tongues 20, 21 on each side of its V-edge, which are symmetrical to the flap axis 11 and to which a locking cam 22, 23 is assigned around the handle 4 (cf. in particular Fig. 7). When unfolding into the position according to FIG. 3, both latching tongues 20, 21 change from their associated latching cams 22 and 23 to the other latching cams, so that in both positions there is a double latching on each of the two legs 5, 6 of the handle 4, so a total of four times latching is given,

The blade is folded in by pressing in Direction of arrow 24 on the still smooth back area at the front end of the blade.

To make it easier to fold out the blade 9, the handle 4 is located on the opposite side of the blade unfolding Side inward of the blade folding axis 11 provided with a finger opening 25, which on a smooth area 26 of the blade adjoining the double cutting edge 19 is aligned. In a position according to FIG. 7, a finger can thus pass through the opening in the direction of arrow 27 pushed through onto the back of the blade 9 and the locking can be released comfortably and safely.
