Abstract

The fruit slicer is designed to cut fruit slices effectively and rapidly with minimum loss of juice. It consists of a wood, plastic or metal base on which is fixed a series of vertical triangular shaped cutters which form a sort of broken line. The base has in its upper side a small slot designed to hold the blade of an electrical operated knife which transmits its movement to the vertical blades of the fruit slicer. An additional wood, plastic or metal concave element is used to hold the fruit to be sliced as well as to collect the juice via a small slot in the bottom of the device.

Description

DESCRIPTION
COUPE-FRUITS MANUEL & ELECTRIQUE
En l'état actuel de la technique, il n'existe pour couper des citrons, oranges ou autres fruits "en dentelles" que des couteaux à lame en forme de dentelles, nécessitant de la part du cuisinier une certaine dextérité moyennant une perte de temps assez consi-dérahle pour les restaurants et une perte de jus notable. De plus ces lames stémoussent assez rapidemen
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients.DESCRIPTION
MANUAL & ELECTRIC FRUIT CUTTER
In the current state of the art, there are only cutters with lemons, oranges or other fruits "in lace" that cut knives with lace-shaped blades, requiring a certain skill on the part of the cook with a loss of time. enough for restaurants and a significant loss of juice. In addition, these blades swirl fairly quickly.
The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

Selon une formule préférentielle, le dispositif est con9tituv d'un manche en bols en mat:ere plastique ou en métal et dans
Lequel sont Implantées verticalement des Lamelles disposes en ligne les unes à côté des autres deux par deux en forme de triangle et formant à elles toutes ensemble une sorte de ligne brise (figures A,B,C' et D). Ainsi la coupe donne t-eL à chaque partie du fruit coupé une forme de "dentelle" par simple pression sans apprentissage "ad hoc" , sans effort, rapide!nent et avec une perte de dus minimale.According to a preferred formula, the device is made up of a handle made of mat bowls: plastic or metal and in
Which are vertically implanted Lamellae arranged in line one next to the other two by two in the shape of a triangle and forming together a sort of broken line (Figures A, B, C 'and D). Thus the cut gives each part of the cut fruit a "lace" shape at the touch of a button without learning "ad hoc", effortlessly, quickly and with minimal loss of due.

Les Lamelles peuvent etre maintenues à l'intérieur par une tige filetée en laiton par exemple, le nombre de lamelles peut autre de 18 ou de 20 Dermettant de couper toutes tailles de fruits. Les lamelles peuvent etre maintenues entre elles par deux lattes de ois celées pour la rigidité de l'appareil et transpercées et Serrées par deux boulons à leurs extrémité pour la solidité. The slats can be held inside by a threaded brass rod for example, the number of slats can be other than 18 or 20 allowing you to cut all sizes of fruit. The slats can be held together by two slats of birds concealed for the rigidity of the device and pierced and Tightened by two bolts at their ends for solidity.

Ainsi qu'il appert ses figures A et C, une encoche M dans le milieu du manche et en sa partie supérieure permet d'y introduire l'extrémité de la lame d'un couteau électrique de façon à transmettre à l'appareil dont s'agit les vibrations du couteau électrique ce qui permet un accroissement de rendement encore avec une diminution des efforts,
En outre un second élément constitué d'une -pièce de bois de hêtre concave et munie dune rigole (figures E,F,G,H) permet de maintenir le fruit sans risque de blessure ainsi que de recueillir le petite quantité de jus qui pourrait s'écouler. As appears in Figures A and C, a notch M in the middle of the handle and in its upper part allows to introduce the end of the blade of an electric knife so as to transmit to the device whose s '' acts the vibrations of the electric knife which allows a further increase in yield with a reduction in efforts,
In addition, a second element consisting of a piece of concave beech wood and fitted with a channel (Figures E, F, G, H) allows the fruit to be held without risk of injury as well as to collect the small amount of juice which could to flow.

Claims

1 / Device allowing you to cut the fruit "in lace" efficiently and quickly with a minimum loss of juice characterized in that it comprises a wooden handle, plastic or metal in which are vertically implanted strips arranged in a triangle and all forming together a kind of broken or wavy line, 2 / A device according to claim l characterized in that the handle comprises in the middle of its upper part a clear notch intended to accommodate the end of the blade of a knife sslectrique, so that you can use the device electrically by '.'i transmitting the movements of the electric knife.

3 / Device according to either of the preceding claims characterized in that a piece of wood or plastic, additional and concave allows to receive and block the fruit to be cut, as well as to collect the juice by a small channel at the bottom of the said piece of wood.
