Abstract

The kitchen knife is used to make a spiralling slicing cut through a cylindrical or spherical fruit or vegetable such as an apple or a potato. The slicing process entails winding a self tapping screw (2) centrally into the apple and using it to pull a cutting blade (3) through in its wake. The pitch of the screw determines the thickness of the slive and the path of the screw determines the axis of the cutting spiral. The implement comprises a blade (3) with a handle (4) and a screw (2) at the respective ends. The screw projects normally from a major face of the blade and may be changed to suit the vegetable etc. being cut. The handle may include a finger hole (5) for improved gripping and driving.

Description

L'invention concerne un procédé et un outil pour trancher des végétaux à coeur ferme, notamment des pommes, pommes de terre, radis noir, etc.. The invention relates to a method and a tool for slicing plants with a firm heart, in particular apples, potatoes, black radishes, etc.

Certes il existe de nombreux outils coupant permet- tant de faire des tranches successives d'épaisseur variable ou des tranches simultanées d'épaisseur prédéterminée, mais sans permettre de les découper facilement de façon hélicoï- dalle. Admittedly, there are many cutting tools making it possible to make successive slices of variable thickness or simultaneous slices of predetermined thickness, but without making it possible to easily cut them in a helical fashion.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient l'inventeur a mis au point un procédé caractérisé en ce que dans un végétal cylindrique ou sphérique on creuse un puits axial à l'aide d'une vis servant de guide à une lame qui lui est solidaire et à qui on applique un mouvement rotatif déterminant l'a- lancement de l'ensemble et la coupe en hélice autour du puits. Après l'opération de découpe, le végétal conserve sa forme première, ce qui est avantageux pour sa présenta- tion et souvent aussi pour sa conservation. Le procédé est utilisable dans de nombreux cas.Lorsqu'on ne désire pas conserver la coupe en hélice, mais obtenir des tranches, il suffit de fendre le fruit (ou autre) par un demi plan sensiblement perpendiculaire aux plans de coupe et s'arrê- tant au puits central. To overcome this drawback, the inventor has developed a method characterized in that in a cylindrical or spherical plant an axial well is dug using a screw serving as a guide for a blade which is integral with it and to which a rotary movement is applied determining the start of the assembly and the helical cut around the well. After the cutting operation, the plant retains its original shape, which is advantageous for its presentation and often also for its conservation. The process can be used in many cases. When one does not want to keep the cut in a helix, but to obtain slices, it is enough to split the fruit (or other) by a half plane substantially perpendicular to the cutting planes and stops. - both at the central well.

Les hélices peuvent être utilisées directement. The propellers can be used directly.

Ainsi une pomme de terre découpée en hélice et jetée dans l'huile chaude, s'ouvre, et donne des frites du plusjoli effet.Thus a potato cut in a helix and thrown in hot oil, opens, and gives fries of the prettiest effect.

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'invention il est donné ci-après n exemple de réalisation en référence aux dessins annexés
Fig. 1 est ne vue de profil d'un outil on position do coupe,
Fig. 2 est une vue on perspective de l'outil.To better understand the invention, an example of embodiment is given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view of a tool in the cut position,
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the tool.

L'outil est constitué par une lame 3 munie à son extrémité libre d'une vis 2, et à son autre estremité d'un manche 4 avec orifice 5 pour passer le doigt. La vis 2 peut être soit fixée à demeure et sa tête matée dans un orifice prévu à cet effet, soit amovible. Dans ce dernier cas, le changement de vis permet de choisir un pas déterminé, et par suite l'épaisseur de l'hélice
Lorsque la vis 2 est disposée convenablement dans l'axe du légume ou du fuuit à découper, il suffit de pousser le manche on rotation pour que la vis 2 s'enfonce dans la matière, servant de pivot à la lame, qui provoque à partir d'un certain niveau, la coupe de la dite matière suivant une hélice La lame traverse ainsi le végétal de haut en bas, en le laissant dans sa forme originale lorsqu'on le maintient convenablement. The tool consists of a blade 3 provided at its free end with a screw 2, and at its other end with a handle 4 with orifice 5 for passing the finger. The screw 2 can be either fixed permanently and its head stamped in an orifice provided for this purpose, or removable. In the latter case, the change of screw makes it possible to choose a determined pitch, and consequently the thickness of the propeller
When the screw 2 is suitably arranged in the axis of the vegetable or of the fruit to be cut, it suffices to push the handle on rotation so that the screw 2 sinks into the material, serving as a pivot for the blade, which causes to leave at a certain level, the cutting of said material along a helix The blade thus crosses the plant from top to bottom, leaving it in its original form when it is properly maintained.
