DISPOSITIF DE DÉCOUPE DES ALIMENTS  DEVICE FOR CUTTING FOOD
DOMAINE D'APPLICATION DE L'INVENTION FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention a trait au domaine des ustensiles de cuisine pour la découpe des aliments aussi connus sous le nom de mandoline. La présente invention a notamment trait à une mandoline adoptant une configuration inversée c'est à dire où la lame se déplace par rapport au légume.  The present invention relates to the field of kitchen utensils for cutting food also known as mandolin. The present invention relates in particular to a mandolin adopting an inverted configuration that is to say where the blade moves relative to the vegetable.
DESCRIPTION DE L'ART ANTÉRIEUR DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Une mandoline est un ustensile de cuisine servant à découper les aliments et plus particulièrement les légumes crus en tranches plus ou moins épaisses.  A mandolin is a kitchen utensil used to cut food and especially raw vegetables slices more or less thick.
Ce coupe-légumes en général manuel comprend classiquement une lame associée à une surface de déplacement du légume lequel mis en mouvement de va-et-vient sur ladite surface et maintenu en appui sur cette dernière par l'utilisateur, est progressivement découpé.  This vegetable cutter in general manual conventionally comprises a blade associated with a moving surface of the vegetable which moved back and forth on said surface and maintained in support of the latter by the user, is gradually cut.
Il existe également une configuration inversée où c'est le support de la lame qui est déplacé par rapport au légume qui est maintenu en appui sur ledit support. Un exemple d'une telle configuration est décrit dans le document CN202053285.  There is also an inverted configuration where it is the support of the blade which is displaced relative to the vegetable which is maintained in support on said support. An example of such a configuration is described in CN202053285.
Un autre exemple d'une telle configuration est décrit dans le document WO2012/097214. Ce document décrit une trancheuse manœuvrée à la main incorporant un boîtier, une base et un ensemble lame à mouvement alternatif. Le boîtier présente une partie supérieure, des côtés latéraux opposés, une chambre de retenue des aliments et un passage qui s ' étendant dans le prolongement de la chambre entre les côtés latéraux, est aligné avec un plan de découpe. La base est couplée au boîtier et configurée pour empêcher le boîtier de se déplacer pendant l'opération de découpe. L'ensemble lame alternative est engagé de manière coulissante dans le passage du boîtier et supporte une lame qui se déplace à travers la chambre de retenue des aliments ou de façon adjacente à cette dernière lorsque l'ensemble effectue un mouvement de va-et-vient, pour découper un aliment dans la chambre. L'ensemble lame peut être réglable afin de modifier l'épaisseur de la découpe et peut être convertible afin de créer des frites, réaliser des découpes en julienne ou analogues. Cette configuration présente plusieurs inconvénients, parmi celles- ci : Another example of such a configuration is described in WO2012 / 097214. This document describes a hand-operated slicer incorporating a housing, a base and a reciprocating blade assembly. The housing has an upper portion, opposed side sides, a food holding chamber, and a passageway extending in the extension of the chamber between the lateral sides, aligned with a cutting plane. The base is coupled to the housing and configured to prevent the housing from moving during the cutting operation. The alternative blade assembly is slidably engaged in the housing passage and supports a blade that moves through or adjacent the food holding chamber as the assembly reciprocates. , to cut a food in the room. The blade assembly may be adjustable to change the thickness of the cut and may be convertible to create French fries, julienne cuts or the like. This configuration has several disadvantages, among them:
le boîtier présente une forme complexe difficile à fabriquer assurant le guidage en translation de l'ensemble lame ainsi que celui selon un axe perpendiculaire du moyen d'appui sur le légume, the housing has a complex shape difficult to manufacture ensuring the guiding in translation of the blade assembly as well as that along a perpendicular axis of the support means on the vegetable,
- ledit boîtier n'est pas associé à un contenant car il est associé à une base formée d'éléments pliants constituant des pieds antiglissement pour le boîtier, said casing is not associated with a container because it is associated with a base formed of folding elements constituting anti-sliding feet for the casing,
- la chambre et le moyen d'appui sur le légume ne s'adaptent pas à la découpe longitudinale ou transversale ni à la forme du légume, the chamber and the support means on the vegetable do not adapt to the longitudinal or transverse cut or the shape of the vegetable,
- l'ensemble lame ne peut être utilisé comme une mandoline classique non inversée. - The blade assembly can not be used as a conventional non-inverted mandolin.
DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTION  DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Le demandeur a mené des recherches sur une mandoline à configuration inversée alternative obviant les inconvénients relevés .  The applicant has conducted research on an alternative inverted configuration mandolin overcoming the disadvantages noted.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif de découpe d'aliments dit mandoline est du type de celui comprenant un support mobile de lame définissant un plan de coupe et se déplaçant selon un mouvement alternatif en translation par rapport à l'aliment conformément à une configuration inversée et ayant une gaine associée à un poussoir autorisant l'introduction des aliments et leur maintien sur le chemin de passage du support mobile de lame. Ce dispositif est remarquable en ce qu'il comprend un récipient avec une ouverture équipée de rebords proposant des surfaces de glissement pour ledit support mobile de lame,  According to the invention, the mandolin food cutting device is of the type comprising a movable blade support defining a cutting plane and reciprocatingly moving in translation relative to the food in accordance with an inverted configuration. and having a sheath associated with a pusher allowing the introduction of food and their maintenance on the path of passage of the movable blade holder. This device is notable in that it comprises a container with an opening equipped with flanges providing sliding surfaces for said movable blade support,
un couvercle qui, indépendant du récipient, vient le fermer en coopérant avec lesdits rebords et en maintenant ledit support mobile de lame en contact avec les surfaces de glissement, a lid which, independent of the container, comes to close it by cooperating with said flanges and maintaining said movable blade support in contact with the sliding surfaces,
ledit couvercle étant préformé d'un passage qui, transversal par rapport à la course du support mobile de lame, accueille la gaine associée à un poussoir autorisant l'introduction des aliments et leur maintien sur le chemin de passage du support mobile de lame. said cover being preformed with a passage which, transverse to the stroke of the movable blade support, accommodates the sheath associated with a pusher allowing the introduction of food and their maintenance on the path of passage of the movable blade holder.
Ce dispositif est particulièrement avantageux en ce qu'il comprend dans sa conception un module de stockage des aliments coupés qui va lui-même servir d'appui au mouvement de translation alternatif du support de lame. De plus, l'indépendance du contenant et de son couvercle va permettre une libération facile du support de lame qui peut ainsi être utilisé telle une mandoline classique. De plus, l'ensemble couvercle et support mobile de lame va pouvoir être utilisé séparément du bac . This device is particularly advantageous in that it comprises in its design a cut food storage module which will itself serve to support the reciprocal translation movement of the blade support. In addition, the independence of the container and its lid will allow easy release of the blade holder which can be used as a conventional mandolin. In addition, the cover assembly and movable blade support can be used separately from the tray.
De même, cette séparation va faciliter le nettoyage des différents éléments constitutifs.  Similarly, this separation will facilitate the cleaning of the various constituent elements.
Un autre avantage réside dans la facilité de fabrication de volumes séparés plus simples. En effet, en utilisant le rebord du récipient comme surface de glissement, le dispositif de l'invention répartit une partie de la mise en oeuvre de la fonction de guidage sur plusieurs éléments ce qui en facilite la fabrication notamment par moulage plastique.  Another advantage lies in the ease of manufacture of simpler separate volumes. Indeed, by using the rim of the container as a sliding surface, the device of the invention distributes part of the implementation of the guide function on several elements which facilitates the manufacture including plastic molding.
Ainsi, selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, lesdits rebords et couvercle sont préformés de façon à ce que ledit couvercle s'inscrit entre les rebords et vient proposer des surfaces verticales longitudinales de guidage audit support mobile de lame.  Thus, according to another particularly advantageous feature, said flanges and cover are preformed so that said cover fits between the flanges and comes to provide longitudinal vertical guide surfaces to said movable blade support.
La répartition entre des surfaces horizontales de glissement préformées sur le récipient et des surfaces verticales longitudinales de guidage préformées sur le couvercle permet de transmettre les fortes contraintes liées à la poussée sur l'aliment (et donc sur le support mobile de lame) durant la coupe, à l'élément le plus massif.  The distribution between horizontal sliding surfaces preformed on the container and longitudinal vertical guide surfaces preformed on the cover makes it possible to transmit the strong constraints related to the thrust on the food (and therefore on the movable blade support) during cutting. , to the most massive element.
Une autre caractéristique participant à un bon guidage est que les bords longitudinaux dudit support mobile sont équipés de projections coopérant à des fins de guidage et de retenue avec des gorges longitudinales ménagées dans la face inférieure du couvercle. La simplification de la fabrication permet ainsi la réalisation d'un guidage optimisé.  Another characteristic contributing to good guidance is that the longitudinal edges of said movable support are provided with co-operating projections for guiding and retaining purposes with longitudinal grooves formed in the underside of the cover. The simplification of the manufacturing thus allows the realization of optimized guidance.
Certaines caractéristiques particulièrement avantageuses de ce dispositif résident dans la conception du moyen d'accueil et de mise en contact de l'aliment avec le support de lame. Ainsi, selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, ledit poussoir d'aliments glisse dans la gaine et se décompose en deux :  Some particularly advantageous features of this device reside in the design of the means for receiving and bringing the food into contact with the blade support. Thus, according to a particularly advantageous characteristic, said food pusher slides in the sheath and decomposes in two:
- le premier poussoir qui, glissant en étant en contact direct avec la gaine, est préformé d'une goulotte de passage d'aliments plus petits, - un deuxième poussoir glissant dans ladite goulotte. Cette possibilité de disposer d'un poussoir adapté à la dimension des aliments est particulièrement avantageuse pour l'utilisation du dispositif et pour obtenir un bon résultat de coupe. Ce deuxième poussoir est conçu de façon à s'escamoter dans le premier évitant ainsi toute saillie de volume. the first pusher which, sliding while being in direct contact with the sheath, is preformed with a chute for the passage of smaller feedstocks, a second pusher sliding in said trough. This possibility of having a pusher adapted to the size of the food is particularly advantageous for the use of the device and to obtain a good cutting result. This second pusher is designed to retract into the first avoiding any projection of volume.
De plus, selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, ladite gaine présente un profil oblong et est préformée pour venir coopérer avec ledit couvercle pour autoriser plusieurs positions de la gaine par rapport audit couvercle. Cette caractéristique va autoriser l'utilisateur à disposer l'aliment dans la position la plus efficace par rapport au support de lame et en regard du type de coupe souhaité. Plus précisément, la gaine présente une base cylindrique coopérant avec une empreinte cylindrique préformée dans le couvercle pour proposer ces possibilités d'orientation.  In addition, according to another particularly advantageous feature of the invention, said sheath has an oblong profile and is preformed to cooperate with said cover to allow several positions of the sheath with respect to said cover. This feature will allow the user to place the food in the most efficient position relative to the blade holder and facing the desired type of cut. More specifically, the sheath has a cylindrical base cooperating with a cylindrical cavity preformed in the cover to provide these possibilities of orientation.
Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, ledit support mobile de lame comprend à une extrémité une poignée préformée dans son prolongement et facilitant sa mise en mouvement.  According to another particularly advantageous characteristic, said movable blade support comprises at one end a preformed handle in its extension and facilitating its movement.
Selon une autre caractéristique, il est équipé pour accueillir une poignée détachable disposée dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de coupe. Une telle disposition pour une poignée est particulièrement adaptée pour la mise en mouvement alternatif selon une translation horizontale. De plus, selon une autre caractéristique, ledit support mobile de lame est préformé pour accueillir de façon détachable un ou plusieurs outils de coupe interchangeables ce qui offre à l'utilisateur toutes les possibilités de découpe. De même, l'outil de coupe comprend au moins une lame associée à un cadre support dont la coopération avec le support mobile de lame autorise une pluralité d'épaisseur de coupe. Selon une caractéristique, l'outil de coupe comprend une lame associée à un cadre support comprenant des rebords d'appui coopérant avec des encoches ménagées dans le support mobile de lame.  According to another characteristic, it is equipped to receive a detachable handle disposed in a plane perpendicular to the cutting plane.

L'outil de coupe a également fait l'objet d'une attention particulière par le demandeur en l'adaptant à la configuration inversée proposée. En effet, afin d'exploiter le fait que le support de lame va réaliser un mouvement de translation aller-retour sous l'aliment à découper, le dispositif de l'invention est remarquable en ce que l'outil de coupe présente une lame avec au moins deux arêtes de coupe disposées symétriquement l'une par rapport à l'autre, la première étant active dans un sens et la deuxième active dans l'autre sens de la translation du support de lame. Une telle caractéristique permet de travailler deux fois plus vite pour certains types de découpe. The cutting tool has also been the subject of particular attention by the applicant in adapting it to the proposed inverted configuration. Indeed, in order to exploit the fact that the blade support will perform a translational movement back and forth under the food to be cut, the device of the invention is remarkable in that the cutting tool has a blade with at least two cutting edges arranged symmetrically with respect to one another, the first being active in one direction and the second active in the other direction of the translation of the blade support. Such a characteristic makes it possible to work twice as fast for certain types of cutting.
Selon une autre caractéristique, l'outil de coupe présente une lame avec une arête de coupe présentant un profil en dents de scie qui facilite la découpe des légumes tels tomates et oignons.  According to another characteristic, the cutting tool has a blade with a cutting edge having a sawtooth profile which facilitates the cutting of vegetables such as tomatoes and onions.
Selon une autre caractéristique, ladite lame est équipée sur sa face inférieure d'un déflecteur disposé transversalement par rapport à 1 ' axe du déplacement du support mobile et constitué par une projection vers le bas proposant des surfaces de guidage vers le bas des aliments lors de leur découpe. Selon un mode de réalisation Cette projection adopte un profil sensiblement en V. Les branches du V orientent vers le bas les portions coupées des aliments et aident à leur détachement.  According to another characteristic, said blade is equipped on its underside with a baffle disposed transversely to the axis of the displacement of the movable support and constituted by a downward projection providing downwardly guiding surfaces of the food during their cutting. According to one embodiment, this projection adopts a substantially V-shaped profile. The branches of the V orient down the cut portions of the foodstuffs and assist in their detachment.
Afin de disposer à proximité du dispositif des différents ustensiles susceptibles d'être nécessaires, le dispositif comprend un contenant supplémentaire qui propose un volume de stockage à des ustensiles et qui vient coopérer avec la face inférieure du récipient de sorte qu'il s'intercale entre le récipient et la surface de travail sur laquelle le dispositif est en appui.  In order to have close to the device the various utensils that may be necessary, the device comprises an additional container that proposes a storage volume to utensils and that cooperates with the underside of the container so that it is inserted between the container and the work surface on which the device is supported.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le support mobile, le couvercle et le bac sont en plastique et les lames de l'outil de coupe sont en acier inoxydable.  According to a preferred embodiment, the mobile support, the lid and the tray are made of plastic and the blades of the cutting tool are made of stainless steel.

DESCRIPTION D'UN MODE DE RÉALISATION PRÉFÉRÉ  DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Le dispositif de découpe d'aliments illustré par les dessins des figures 1 à 4, est référencé D dans son ensemble. Conformément à une configuration inversée, ce dispositif D comprend un support de lame 100 qui se déplace selon un mouvement alternatif en translation symbolisé par la double flèche Fl, par rapport à un corps fixe. Ce dispositif D comprend un récipient 200 adoptant ici la forme d'une coque de bateau.  The food cutting device illustrated by the drawings of Figures 1 to 4, is referenced D as a whole. According to an inverted configuration, this device D comprises a blade support 100 which moves in reciprocating translation movement symbolized by the double arrow F1 relative to a fixed body. This device D comprises a container 200 adopting here the shape of a boat hull.
Selon un mode de réalisation non illustré, le dispositif D adopte une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique équipée d'un fond et de parois latérales sensiblement verticales.  According to a non-illustrated embodiment, the device D adopts a substantially parallelepiped shape equipped with a bottom and substantially vertical side walls.
Le récipient 200 comprend en partie supérieure une ouverture 210 encadrée par des bords supérieurs 220. Ces bords 220 sont préformés pour proposer des surfaces de glissement et de guidage au support mobile de lame 100. Pour ce faire, les bords 220 sont préformés pour adopter la forme d'un L dont la branche horizontale sert de surface d'appui et de glissement lors du mouvement en translation (selon la double flèche Fl).  The container 200 comprises in the upper part an opening 210 framed by upper edges 220. These edges 220 are preformed to provide sliding and guiding surfaces to the movable blade support 100. To do this, the edges 220 are preformed to adopt the shape of an L whose horizontal branch serves as a bearing surface and sliding during the movement in translation (according to the double arrow Fl).
A une extrémité du récipient, la branche verticale sert de butée de fin de course audit mouvement alors qu'à l'autre extrémité, la branche verticale est retirée pour autoriser le passage et donc le mouvement en translation dudit support de lame 100.  At one end of the container, the vertical leg serves as an end stop to said movement while at the other end, the vertical leg is removed to allow the passage and thus the translational movement of said blade holder 100.
L'ouverture 210 accueille un couvercle 300 qui, indépendant du récipient 200, vient le fermer en coopérant avec lesdits rebords 220 et en maintenant ledit support mobile de lame 100 en contact avec les surfaces de glissement.  The opening 210 accommodates a lid 300 which, independent of the container 200, closes it by cooperating with said flanges 220 and maintaining said movable blade support 100 in contact with the sliding surfaces.
Comme illustré, le couvercle 300 est dimensionné de façon à s ' inscrire entre les branches verticales du profil en L formé par les rebords 220. De plus, le couvercle 300 est préformé pour proposer des surfaces verticales longitudinales de guidage audit support mobile de lame 100 dans son mouvement selon la double-flèche Fl. Pour ce faire, les bords longitudinaux 130 et 140 dudit support mobile 100 sont équipés de projections coopérant à des fins de guidage et de retenue avec des gorges longitudinales 320 et 330 ménagées dans la face inférieure du couvercle 300. As illustrated, the cover 300 is sized to fit between the vertical legs of the L-shaped profile formed by the flanges 220. In addition, the cover 300 is preformed to provide longitudinal vertical guide surfaces to said movable blade support 100 in its movement along the double arrow Fl. To do this, the longitudinal edges 130 and 140 of said movable support 100 are provided with projections cooperating for guiding and retaining purposes with longitudinal grooves 320 and 330 formed in the underside of the lid 300.
La portion du couvercle 300 venant recouvrir la portion de rebord de récipient 200 laissée libre pour laisser passer le support de lame mobile 100, est également ajourée.  The portion of the cover 300 that covers the container rim portion 200 left free to allow the movable blade support 100 to pass is also perforated.
Pour faciliter le maniement du support de lame 100, ce dernier comprend comme illustrée sur le dessin de la figure 4, à une extrémité une poignée 110 préformée dans son prolongement. Selon un mode de réalisation non illustré, le support de lame est en outre préformé pour accueillir une poignée détachable disposée dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de coupe.  To facilitate the handling of the blade support 100, the latter comprises as illustrated in the drawing of Figure 4, at one end a handle 110 preformed in its extension. According to an embodiment not illustrated, the blade support is further preformed to accommodate a detachable handle disposed in a plane perpendicular to the cutting plane.
Ledit couvercle 300 est préformé d'une ouverture 310 qui, transversale par rapport à la course (double-flèche Fl) du support mobile de lame 100, accueille une gaine sensiblement verticale 400 accueillant les aliments à couper. Cette gaine 400 est associée à un poussoir 410 maintenant les aliments introduits (non illustrés sur le chemin de passage du support mobile de lame 100.  Said cover 300 is preformed with an opening 310 which, transverse to the stroke (double arrow Fl) of the movable blade support 100, accommodates a substantially vertical sheath 400 accommodating the food to be cut. This sheath 400 is associated with a pusher 410 maintaining the introduced feeds (not shown on the path of passage of the blade movable support 100.
Les aliments sont introduits dans la gaine et poussés dans la gaine 400 par le poussoir 410 actionné d'une main par l'utilisateur qui actionne de son autre main, le support de lame 100 pour lui faire suivre un mouvement de translation selon la double flèche Fl entre le récipient 200 et son couvercle 300 à des fins de découpe de 1 ' aliment .  The food is introduced into the sheath and pushed into the sheath 400 by the pusher 410 actuated by one hand by the user who actuates with his other hand, the blade holder 100 to make him follow a translational movement along the double arrow Fl between the container 200 and its lid 300 for cutting the food.
Comme illustré, ledit poussoir d'aliments 410 glisse dans la gaine 400 et accueille lui-même un poussoir de plus petite dimension 411 : As illustrated, said food pusher 410 slides in the sheath 400 and itself accommodates a pusher of smaller size 411:
- le premier poussoir 410 glisse en étant en contact direct avec l'âme creuse de la gaine 400 et est préformé d'une goulotte de passage 412 pour un aliment de plus petite dimension, the first pusher 410 slides while being in direct contact with the hollow core of the sheath 400 and is preformed with a passage trough 412 for a food of smaller size,
- le deuxième 411 glisse librement dans la goulotte 412 et permet de pousser un aliment de plus petite dimension vers le plan de coupe. - The second 411 slides freely in the chute 412 and allows to push a food of smaller size to the cutting plane.
Cette gaine 400 présente un profil oblong mais est préformée pour venir coopérer avec ledit couvercle 300. Pour ce faire, elle comprend une base circulaire 420 qui vient coopérer avec une empreinte circulaire adoptée par l'ouverture 310 ménagée dans le couvercle 300. La gaine 400 et le couvercle 300 sont donc des éléments détachables l'un de l'autre qui permettent un démontage et un régalage de la position. En effet, cette coopération entre une base circulaire 420 et un logement circulaire 310 autorise plusieurs positions de la gaine 400 par rapport audit couvercle 300. La gaine 400 peut ainsi être pivotée sur son axe pour proposer plusieurs positions et donc plusieurs orientations des aliments par rapport aux outils de coupe. This sheath 400 has an oblong profile but is preformed to cooperate with said cover 300. To do this, it comprises a circular base 420 which cooperates with a circular imprint adopted by the opening 310 formed in the cover 300. The sheath 400 and the cover 300 are detachable elements from one another which allow disassembly and adjustment of the position. Indeed, this cooperation between a circular base 420 and a circular housing 310 allows several positions of the sheath 400 with respect to said cover 300. The sheath 400 can thus be pivoted on its axis to provide several positions and therefore several directions of food relative to cutting tools.
Comme illustrée, l'ouverture 310 est ménagée dans le couvercle 300 à des fins d'accueil de la base de la gaine 400, au niveau de sa partie arrière. As illustrated, the opening 310 is formed in the cover 300 for the purpose of receiving the base of the sheath 400, at its rear portion.
Comme illustré plus en détail sur le dessin de la figure 5, ledit support mobile de lame 100 est préformé pour accueillir de façon détachable un ou plusieurs outils de coupe interchangeables 500.  As illustrated in more detail in the drawing of FIG. 5, said movable blade support 100 is preformed to detachably accommodate one or more interchangeable cutting tools 500.
Selon un mode de réalisation non illustré, les parties arrières du couvercle 300 et du récipient 200 sont préformées d'une ouverture facilitant le changement d'outil 500 alors que le support de lame 100 est toujours engagé dans la glissière en donnant accès à la face latérale dudit support de lame 100.  According to a non-illustrated embodiment, the rear parts of the lid 300 and the container 200 are preformed with an opening facilitating the tool change 500 while the blade holder 100 is always engaged in the slide by giving access to the face side of said blade holder 100.
Il comprend un cadre horizontal dont un des bords latéraux est préformé pour constituer la poignée 110.  It comprises a horizontal frame of which one of the lateral edges is preformed to constitute the handle 110.
La partie médiane du cadre est préformée pour accueillir l'outil de coupe 500. L'outil de coupe 500 comprend une surface de coupe 510 associée à un cadre support 520.  The middle portion of the frame is preformed to accommodate the cutting tool 500. The cutting tool 500 includes a cutting surface 510 associated with a support frame 520.
Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 5, la surface de coupe 510 consiste en une lame à deux arêtes de coupe 511 et 512 permettant la découpe des aliments dans les deux sens du mouvement de translation alternatif. Le cadre support comprend des rebords d'appui 521 et 522 qui vont coopérer avec des paires d' encoches 151 et 152 préformés à hauteur différente dans les bords d'une fenêtre 150 ménagée dans l'épaisseur du support de lame mobile 100. Le glissement des rebords d'appui dans l'une ou l'autre des paires d'encoches permet de régler l'épaisseur de coupe.  As illustrated in the drawing of Figure 5, the cutting surface 510 consists of a blade with two cutting edges 511 and 512 for cutting food in both directions of the reciprocating translation movement. The support frame comprises bearing flanges 521 and 522 which will cooperate with pairs of notches 151 and 152 preformed at different heights in the edges of a window 150 formed in the thickness of the movable blade support 100. bearing flanges in one or other of the pairs of notches allow the cutting thickness to be adjusted.
Selon un mode de réalisation non illustré du support de lame mobile, de part et d'autre de l'outil de coupe, deux plaques mobiles servent de plan d'appui à l'aliment lors du mouvement de translation du support de lame. Ces deux plaques pivotent par rapport à un axe transversal les autorisant à adapter la hauteur de leur bord en réglant par exemple la position dudit axe. According to a non-illustrated embodiment of the movable blade support, on both sides of the cutting tool, two movable plates serve as a support plane for the food during the translational movement. of the blade support. These two plates pivot relative to a transverse axis allowing them to adjust the height of their edge by adjusting for example the position of said axis.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation non illustré, les rebords d'appui sont des cales réglables en épaisseur pour participer à ce réglage .  According to another embodiment not illustrated, the support flanges are shims adjustable in thickness to participate in this setting.
Comme illustré sur les dessins des figures 6, 7 et 8, l'outil de coupe 500' comprend une surface de coupe 510' associée à un cadre support 520'. La surface de coupe 510' ' présente deux arêtes de coupe avec un profil en dent de scie. Ce mode de réalisation est en outre remarquable en ce que le cadre support 520' adopte au niveau de son plan de symétrie transversal par rapport à l'axe de déplacement, une projection vers le bas 521' sur sensiblement toute la longueur de la surface de coupe 510', projection qui adopte le profil d'un V évasé afin de servir de déflecteur aux aliments découpés. En effet, une fois les aliments coupés ou lors de leur coupe, les plans inclinés définis par ladite projection 521' vont orienter vers le bas et contribuer à une meilleure découpe.  As illustrated in the drawings of FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the cutting tool 500 'comprises a cutting surface 510' associated with a support frame 520 '. The cutting surface 510 '' has two cutting edges with a sawtooth profile. This embodiment is furthermore remarkable in that the support frame 520 'adopts, at its plane of symmetry transverse to the axis of displacement, a downward projection 521' over substantially the entire length of the surface of the 510 'cut, projection that adopts the profile of a flared V to serve as a deflector for cut food. Indeed, once the cut food or during their cutting, the inclined planes defined by said projection 521 'will orient downwards and contribute to better cutting.
Les différents ustensiles, outils et cales peuvent être avantageusement stockés dans un contenant supplémentaire 600 qui vient coopérer avec la face inférieure du récipient 100 de sorte qu'il s'intercale entre le récipient 200 et la surface de travail sur laquelle le dispositif D est en appui.  The various utensils, tools and shims can advantageously be stored in an additional container 600 that cooperates with the underside of the container 100 so that it is inserted between the container 200 and the working surface on which the device D is in position. support.
Le récipient 200 et le contenant 600 sont avantageusement équipés de cales antidérapantes sur leur face inférieure.  The container 200 and the container 600 are advantageously equipped with anti-slip blocks on their underside.
On comprend que le dispositif, qui vient d'être ci-dessus décrit et représenté, l'a été en vue d'une divulgation plutôt que d'une limitation. Bien entendu, divers aménagements, modifications et améliorations pourront être apportés à l'exemple ci-dessus, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, par exemple, un contenant supplémentaire peut s'associer au premier.  It is understood that the device, which has just been described above and shown, has been for the purpose of disclosure rather than limitation. Of course, various arrangements, modifications and improvements may be made to the example above, without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, for example, an additional container can associate with the first.
