DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a food cutter .
I do. For details, move food such as vegetables by hand
Food cups for slicing and shredding
It is about the terre .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various types of conventional food cutters for manually slicing or shredding foods such as radish and tomatoes. One of them is a horizontal posture on a rubbing surface of a rubbing table. Slice the food by attaching the blade plate and slicing the food on the sliding surface and hitting the cutting edge, or arrange a large number of vertical cutting blades in front of the blade plate to shred the food There is something that I did. In this type, the direction of the blade plate is usually provided in a posture orthogonal to the direction in which the food slides or in a posture inclined obliquely. In addition, work with this type of food cutter,
Since a dangerous operation of rubbing the food gripped by hand on the cutting blade is a dangerous operation, a holder for holding the food safely is often provided.

[0003]

In the conventional food cutter of this type, there are problems that the food cannot always be sliced neatly or that the food moves laterally on the rubbing surface. For example, if the blade plate is provided in a posture perpendicular to the direction in which the food slides, the cutting action by the cutting blade becomes "push-off", so that the resistance is large and, therefore, a somewhat strong force for slicing. Is necessary, and the cut end becomes dirty, and especially in the case of soft foods such as tomatoes, why they often become crushed.

[0004] In this respect, in the case where the blade plate is held obliquely, the cutting action by the cutting blade becomes "pulling", so that the cut edge becomes clean. However, because the cutting edge is oblique to the direction in which the food slides, the force applied to the cutting edge is inevitably guided to the far side of the cutting edge, making the food more likely to skid. . For this reason,
If you do not apply the power properly,
There is a problem that excessive force is applied to prevent skidding.

[0005] Further, in the conventional food cutter of this type, there was no function of adjusting the thickness of the slice, so that there was a problem that the range of use was limited.

Further, most conventional food holding devices have a structure in which a finger is hung on grip portions facing each other and food is gripped by the grip portions. Therefore, the food holding device is moved while applying force to a fingertip. That would be the task. Therefore, it requires some knack to use, so it is unexpectedly troublesome to handle, especially foods with small shapes and unstable shapes such as garlic are very difficult to grasp, and soft foods are smashed. It can happen. Then, since the portion gripped by the gripping portion cannot be sliced and always remains, there is a problem that it is inevitably impossible to finish processing all portions of the food.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the cutting action is performed by "pulling", and the force applied to the blade by the food is guided in the lateral direction. It is an object to provide a food cutter without any.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a food cutter capable of arbitrarily adjusting the thickness of a slice.

[0008]

In order to achieve this object, a food cutter according to claim 1 has a rubbed surface having a rubbing surface for rubbing food, and a cutting blade located at a position higher than the rubbing surface. A slicing blade plate attached to the rubbing table so that the cutting blade of the slicing blade plate has a substantially V-shape that opens toward the rubbing start side region of the rubbing surface.

In this food cutter, the position where the food hits the cutting edge is always the bent top of the cutting edge unless the position where the food is rubbed is completely shifted laterally from the center in the width direction of the rubbing surface. There are two places on the left and right sides sandwiched, and the direction in which the force applied to these two places tends to escape cancels each other toward the bent top. Therefore, the food is never relatively laterally swung by the cutting edge, and the food hits the cutting edge is extremely stable.

[0010] Since the portion where the food hits the cutting edge in this way proceeds straight ahead, the position where the cutting edge hits the food moves relatively obliquely to the side. Therefore, the cutting of the food by the cutting edge will be performed by "pulling", so that the cut edge is not crushed,
We can slice neatly.

[0011] The invention according to claim 2 comprises a rubbing base body having a rubbing surface for rubbing food, and a slice blade plate attached to the rubbing base body such that a cutting edge is positioned higher than the rubbing surface. A movable rubbing base, which serves as a rubbing start side area of the rubbing surface, is supported on the rubbing base body so as to be able to move up and down, and an adjusting means for adjusting the height of the movable rubbing base with respect to the cutting blade is provided. .

[0012] In this case, since the head between the rubbed surface and the cutting edge can be adjusted, the food can be sliced to a desired thickness. When implementing the present invention, the movable rubbing table is movably supported in a direction inclined with respect to the rubbing table main body, and the adjusting means is configured such that the movement of the adjusting lever rotating in the horizontal plane presses the movable rubbing table in the front-rear direction. With such a configuration, the adjusting means can be set thin.

Further, according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, a plurality of shredder blades protruding upward from a position close to the cutting blade of the slice blade plate on the rubbing surface are arranged at equal intervals. Therefore, the food can be stably and neatly cut.

Further, according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, a plurality of cutting blade plates each having a plurality of cutting and raising pieces cut and raised from a metal plate as a cutting blade are provided one above the other, and a lower cutting blade is provided. The shredder blade of the plate is projected upward through the cut-and-raised hole of the upper shredder plate.

In this way, the arrangement pitch of the shredded blades arranged in one horizontal row (not necessarily right beside) can be made as small as possible. That is, when the cutting blade is cut and raised from the metal plate, the arrangement pitch of the cutting blades is limited to a minimum pitch that is somewhat longer than the length required for the cutting blades. The cutting blade of another blade plate can be arranged between the minimum pitches constrained as described above, so that even if the position of the cutting blade is not alternately shifted in the rubbing direction, it is aligned horizontally (not necessarily right side).
The arrangement pitch of the shredded blades can be made as small as possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a food cutter according to the present invention and a food to be processed by the food cutter will be safely held.
The following describes a food holding device for performing the above according to each embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 to 4 show a food cutter 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The food cutter 1 includes a rubbing base body 3 made of synthetic resin, a slice blade plate 5, a movable rubbing base 7, a thickness adjusting lever 9, and the like.

The rubbing base body 3 has a thin and substantially box-like shape whose entire lower surface is open, and its front-rear direction (the direction toward the lower right in FIG. 1 is the front side, and the direction toward the lower left in FIG. 1 is the left side. ), A long top plate 11 and a small peripheral wall 13 protruding downward from the entire outer peripheral edge of the top plate 11 are integrally formed. An elliptical hook hole 15 is formed at the front end of the rubbing base 3. The portion where the front end portion and the other portion continue is slightly narrower like a neck. The upper ends of the left and right side portions 13a of the peripheral wall 13 extend slightly above the top plate 11 to form a fall prevention wall.

A large opening 17 is formed in the top plate 11, and this opening 17 is provided on the front and rear ends of the top plate 11 with a certain area left. The rear edge of the mouth 17 has a substantially V-shape that opens forward, and the left and right ends of the mouth 17 reach the left and right sides 13 a of the peripheral wall 13. V at rear edge
The opening angle of the character is approximately 80 °, and the narrow area extending along the rear edge forms a blade plate mounting portion 19 slightly lower than the other portions. Are formed with four blade plate mounting holes 21. The portion of the top plate 11 on the front side from the mouth 17 is slightly lower than the portion on the back side from the mouth 17. The upper surface of the top plate 11 on the rear side from the mouth 17 is a rubbing surface 22, and a number of side-slip preventing ridges 23 extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the rubbing surface 22 in the left-right direction.

On the inner side surfaces of the left and right side portions 13a of the peripheral wall 13, a substantially middle position and a rear end of a portion corresponding to the mouth 17 are provided.
A movable rubbing base engaging groove 25 is formed. The movable rubbing base engagement groove 25 is substantially 30
The upper and lower ends are open on both the upper and lower surfaces of the side portion 13a. A relatively small boss 27 having a cylindrical shape from a substantially central portion of a portion on the front side from the mouth 17 of the top plate 11.
Project downward.

The slicing blade plate 5 has a substantially V-shape when viewed from the thickness direction thereof. It is about twice the width. The inner edge of the slice blade plate 5 is a cutting edge 5a.
One mounting hole 5b is formed. The half of the slice blade plate 5 near the outer edge has a blade plate mounting portion 19.
Is fixed to the rubbing table main body 3 in a state of being placed on the rubbing table main body 3. Therefore,
The slice blade plate 5 is provided such that the cutting blade 5 a forms a rear edge of the mouth 17.

The movable rubbing table 7 also has a thin box shape with an open lower surface, and the size and shape when viewed from the thickness direction are substantially equal to the size and shape of the mouth 17, and the upper surface thereof is a rubbing surface for rubbing and moving food. Surface 29. A large number of laterally-slip preventing ridges 23 'extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the rubbing surface 29 in the left-right direction. Engagement projections 31 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the movable rubbing table 7 near the front end and on the rear end thereof. The size, inclination, and mutual positional relationship of the engagement protrusions 31 match the size, inclination, and positional relationship of the four movable abrasion groove 25 formed in the abrasion body 3.

In such a movable rubbing table 7, the four engaging projections 29 are formed by the four movable rubbing table engaging grooves 2 of the rubbing table body 3.
5 is supported by the rubbing table main body 3 by separately engaging with each other.
Therefore, when viewed from above, the movable rubbing table 7 is positioned so as to close the opening 17 of the rubbing table main body 3. The entire rubbing surface 35 of the food cutter 1 is formed by the rubbing surface 29 and the rubbing surface 22 of the rubbing base body 3.
Is configured. A cylindrical pressed pin 33 (see FIG. 4) projects vertically from a position near the rear end of the lower surface of the movable rubbing table 7.

The thickness adjusting lever 9 is long in the front-rear direction, and has a boss hole 37 formed at the center of the front end thereof, and a control long hole 39 extending substantially in the left-right direction in an arc shape at the rear end thereof. The distance of the control slot 39 from the boss hole 37 is not constant, and this distance is the longest at the left end of the control slot 39 and gradually decreases toward the right as seen in FIG. I have.

The thickness adjusting lever 9 is positioned so that the rear half thereof overlaps the movable rubbing table 7 from below, and the pin 33 to be pressed of the movable rubbing table 7 is slidably fitted in its control slot 39. The boss 27 of the rubbing base body 3 is rotatably inserted into the boss hole 37 by being engaged. And this boss 27
The retaining pin 41 with flange inserted into the boss 2
7 is ultrasonically welded. Thereby, the thickness adjusting lever 9
Is rotatably supported in the horizontal direction on the lower surface of the top plate 11 of the rubbing body 3.

The movable rubbing table 7 is prevented from moving in the front-rear direction when the pressed pin 33 is engaged with the control elongated hole 39 of the thickness adjusting lever 9. The position is defined. In other words, when the thickness adjusting lever 9 is rotated, the edge of the control elongated hole 39 presses the pressed pin 33 in the front-rear direction, so that the movable rubbing table 7 engages with the movable rubbing table engaging groove 25. Along with it, thereby changing the height position of the movable rubbing table 7. In other words, when the thickness adjusting lever 9 rotates clockwise as viewed from below, the front edge of the control elongated hole 39 presses the pressed pin 33 forward, so that the movable rubbing base 7 is displaced forward and downward. When the thickness adjusting lever 9 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from below, the front edge of the control slot 39 presses the pressed pin 33 forward, so that the movable rubbing table 7 is displaced rearward and upward.

When the height adjusting lever 9 is at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the movable rubbing table 7 is at the highest position in its moving range.
Is located at a height slightly lower than the cutting edge 5a of the slice blade plate 5. The food cutter 1 is configured as described above.

Next, the method of use and operation of the food cutter 1 will be described. The rubbed main body 3 is placed on a cutting board or an auxiliary table to be described later, and the target food 45 is gripped and put on the rubbing surface 29 of the movable rubbed base 7, and the food 45 is slid rearward so as to press the sliced blade plate 5. Then, the lower end of the food 45 is sliced by the slice blade plate 5.

In this case, the cutting edge 5a of the slice blade plate 5 has a V-shape that opens forward, that is, opens toward the rubbing surface 29 as the rubbing start side region of the entire rubbing surface 35. As long as the food 45 is not completely displaced laterally from the center of the rubbing surface 29, the food 45
There are two locations corresponding to a on each of the left and right sides of the bent edge of the cutting edge 5a corresponding to the bent edge of the cutting edge 5a. This force will cancel each other out. Therefore, the food 45 is never relatively laterally swung by the cutting edge 5a, and the hit of the food 45 to the cutting edge 5a is extremely stable.

The portion where the food 45 hits the cutting edge 5a in this way goes straight forward as it is,
The portion where the cutting edge 5a hits the food 45 moves relatively obliquely to the side. Therefore, the action of the cutting edge 5a to cut the food 45 is performed by "pulling", so that the slice can be sliced neatly without breaking the cut end.

When the thickness of the food 45 sliced in this manner is not appropriate, the height position of the movable rubbing table 7 is adjusted by moving the thickness adjusting lever 9. That is, when the thickness of the slice is too thick, if the thickness adjusting lever 9 is rotated counterclockwise as viewed from below to raise the movable rubbing table 7,
Rubbing surface 29 which is the upper surface of movable rubbing table 7 and slice blade plate 5
Since the drop with the cutting edge 5a becomes small, the slice can be sliced thinly. On the other hand, if the thickness of the slice is too thin, the thickness of the thickness adjusting lever 9 is rotated clockwise as viewed from below, and the movable rubbing table 7 is lowered as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Since the above-mentioned head becomes large, slicing becomes thicker.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show the processing by this food cutter.
1 shows a food holding tool 51 for holding food to be processed safely . The food holder 51 is mainly used for slicing foods originally small in shape, such as garlic, and foods that have been used and become thinner and smaller. The food holder 51 is composed of a slide base 53 and a food holder 55. You.

The slide base 53 includes a base plate 57 having a square flat plate shape, a wall-shaped linear guide 59 extending vertically from both right and left ends thereof, and a relatively large circular hole formed at the center of the base plate 57. A cylindrical food holding portion 61 rising from the periphery of 57a is integrally formed of synthetic resin. In addition, the food presser 55
The pressing body 63 has a cylindrical pressing body 63 having an open upper surface, and a circular cap 65 integrally connected to the pressing body 63 so as to cover the upper surface thereof. It is stored freely. The cap 65 is externally connected to the holding body 63, and the lower surface thereof forms a flange-like stopper 65 a that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the holding body 63.

A large number of small spikes 67 are formed on the lower end surface of the holding body 63. Further, four detent grooves 69 extending in the vertical direction are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the presser main body 63 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, four detent protrusions 71 extending in the vertical direction are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the food holding portion 61 of the slide base 53 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The holding of the presser body 63 into the food presser loading section 61 is performed in a state where the detent ridge 71 is engaged with the detent groove 69. Therefore, the food presser 55 is connected to the food presser loading section 61.
And is mounted so as to be movable only in the vertical direction.

The food holder 51 is used as follows (see FIG. 6). First, the food cutter 1 is moved to the auxiliary table 75.
Put on. The auxiliary table 75 has left and right side walls 77 and a horizontal base plate 79 connecting these side walls 77.
Has a large opening 79a. The rubbed main body 3 of the food cutter 1 is placed on the base plate 79.

Then, the right and left linear guides 59 of the food holder 51 are put on the auxiliary table 75 so that the base plate 57 is put on the rubbing table main body 3 and the target food 81 (eg, garlic) is loaded into the food holding unit 61. Through food cutter 1
Of the food presser 55 into the food presser loading section 61, and the spike 67
Into the food 81 lightly. From this state, the food presser loading section 61 and the cap 65 are grasped. This way of grasping the cap 6
5 is placed in the palm, or the index finger or the middle finger is hung on the cap 65 and the other finger is used to hold the food holding unit 61.
You should try to hold

As a result, the food 81 is pressed and held by the rubbing surface 22 or 29 and the food presser 55, and this holding state is maintained only by appropriately pushing the food presser 55 downward. In this case, even if the shape of the food 81 is unstable, the direction of the force applied to the food presser 55 is
Since it is regulated in the vertical direction by 3, it does not flutter.

When the food holder 51 and the cap 65 are moved back and forth in this manner, the food 81 is sliced by the slice blade plate 5. Then, as the food 81 is sliced, the food presser 55 gradually sinks with respect to the slide base 53, and finally, the stopper 65 a contacts the upper end of the food presser loading section 61. This contact is made immediately before the spike 67 hits the rubbing surface 29 of the movable rubbing table 7. In this manner, the food 81 is entirely sliced except for a small portion pierced by the spike 67.

FIGS. 8 to 11 show a food cutter 85 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The food cutter 85 is for shredding, and is composed of a rubbing table 3A, the same slice blade 5 as in the food cutter 1, a shred blade 87, and a blade holder 89.

The basic shape of the rubbing table 3A is the same as that of the rubbing table main body 3 of the food cutter 1, except that the top plate does not have a large opening. Therefore, except for this difference,
The rubbing base 3A of the food cutter 1
The description is omitted by attaching the same reference numerals to the respective parts of the drawings in the drawings.
The same applies to a third embodiment described later). In the rubbing table 3A, the blade plate mounting portion 1 of the top plate 11
An area 11a on the front side from 9 extends to the vicinity of the blade plate mounting portion 19, and a slit 91 extending parallel to the blade plate mounting portion 19 is formed between the region 11a and the blade plate mounting portion 19. The front region 11a is slightly lower than the region on the rear side from the blade plate mounting portion 19.

At the rear end of the front region 11a of the top plate 11, a number of short cuts 93 extending in the front-rear direction are formed. The arrangement of the cut grooves 93 is made in a direction parallel to the slice blade plate 5 as a whole, that is, in a V-shape, and the arrangement pitch is constant. A shredded blade plate mounting concave portion 95 (see FIG. 10) is formed on the lower surface of the region of the top plate 11 where the cut groove 93 is formed.

The sliced blade plate 87 is formed of a stainless steel plate having a thickness of about 0.1 mm, and has a V-shaped base material 97 having substantially the same size as the slice blade 5.
And a large number of shredded blades 99 formed from the base material 97 by cutting and raising. The shredded blade 99 stands up in a posture extending in the front-back direction, and the shape viewed from the left-right direction is substantially a pentagon as shown in FIG.
The base materials 97 are arranged at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction. Arrangement pitch P of the cutting blades 99 in the left-right direction (see FIG. 11)
Is 3.4 millimeters. The above-mentioned kerf 93
Are aligned with the arrangement pitch P of the cutting blades 99 in the left-right direction.

In such a cutting blade plate 87, the triangular upper half of the cutting blade 99 protrudes upward through the cutting groove 93, and the base material 97 is accommodated in the cutting blade plate mounting recess 95. Then, a blade plate presser 89 is placed under the base material 97, and the blade plate presser 89 is ultrasonically welded to the top plate 11. In this way, a number of shredder blades 99 are arranged in front of the slice blade plate 5. Therefore, when the food 45 is rubbed on the rubbing surface 35, the lower end portion of the food 45 is sliced by the slice blade plate 5 immediately after a large number of grooves are cut by the shredder 99.
And sliced thereby.

FIGS. 12 to 14 show a food cutter 85A according to a third embodiment of the present invention. This food cutter 85A is used for fine shredding, and is different from the food cutter 85 shown in the second embodiment mainly in that it has first and second two shredded blade plates. Only points.

Reference numeral 101 denotes a first shredded blade plate. The first shredder blade plate 101 has almost the same form as the shredder blade plate 87, and includes a base material 97 and 21 shredder blades 99, and a half pitch P leftward from the middle shredder blade 99. A cut groove 101a is formed at a position close to the cut groove 101a. The maximum length of the shredder 99 is 4.2 mm.

Reference numeral 103 denotes a second cutting blade plate. This second shredder blade plate 103 is also substantially the same as the first shredder blade plate 101, and includes a base material 97 and a shredder blade 99 '.
This shredder blade 99 ′ has a number of 23 pieces and a base material 97.
Is different from that in the first shredded blade plate 101. That is, the arrangement phase of the shredded blades 99 of the first shredded blade plate 87 is such that the rearmost one is exactly at the position corresponding to the V-shaped bent top of the base material 97, and sandwiches the shredded blade 99 at this position. The phases are ten symmetrically arranged on each of the left and right sides. Second shredded blade plate 103
The arrangement phase of the shredder blades 99 ′ is such that the rearmost one is shifted from the position corresponding to the V-shaped bent top of the base material 97 by a half pitch P (1.7 mm) to the left and right sides. Then, when the base material 97 is superimposed on the base material 97 of the first shredder blade plate 101, the shredder blade 99 'is inserted into the cut-and-raised hole 97a and the cut groove 101a of the shredder blade 99 in the first shredder blade plate 101. Each has a corresponding phase. The maximum length of the shredder 99 'is 4.3 mm (shredder 9
9 is the maximum height of the base material 97 plus the thickness of the base material 97).

In this food cutter 85A, the cutting groove 93 formed in the rubbing table 3A is formed by the first cutting blade plate 1A.
The first cutting blade 99 and the second cutting blade 99 ′ of the second cutting blade plate 103 are provided at positions respectively corresponding to the cutting blade 99 ′. Then, the first shredder blade plate 101 is
7, the base material 97 is placed in the cutting blade plate mounting concave portion 95 of the rubbing table 3A while the cutting blade 99 is passed through the cutting groove 93, and the second cutting blade plate 103 is placed below the first cutting blade plate 101. Attach to overlap. That is, the second shredded blade plate 1
03 is the first cutting blade plate 101
The base material 97 is passed through the cut-and-raised hole 97a and the cut groove 101a and the cut groove 93 of the rubbing base 3A, and the base material 97 is cut into the first shredded blade plate 101.
On the base material 97 from below. Then, the blade plate presser 89 is superimposed on the base material 97 of the second shredded blade plate 103 from below and ultrasonically welded to the rubbing table 3A.

Accordingly, the cutting blade 99 'of the first cutting blade plate 101 and the cutting blade 99' of the second cutting blade plate 103 are:
The grooves 9 of the rubbing base 3A are alternately arranged at a half pitch P.
Since it projects upward through 3, the line width of the food to be cut is half the line width by the food cutter 85.

As described above, the first cutting blade plate 101
The maximum length of the cutting blade 99 is 4.2 mm,
When this is cut and raised from one base material 97, the minimum pitch is about 5 mm when the arrangement direction is right beside, and at most 3.5 to 4 even if the arrangement direction is inclined in a V-shape. It is restricted to millimeters. As can be seen from FIG. 14, it is impossible to make the pitch smaller than this. In this regard, in the present invention, the cutting blade 99 of another cutting blade plate 103 is provided between the cutting blades 99 using the cut-and-raised holes 97a of the cutting blade 99.
By adopting a configuration in which ′ is arranged, it is possible to reduce the arrangement pitch of the shredded blades.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there is a change in design without departing from the gist of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention. In particular, with respect to the V-shape of the slice blade, in the embodiment, the left and right sides of the bending point of the V-shape are exactly symmetrical to each other, but this V-shape does not necessarily have to be completely symmetrical. Further, the opening angle of the V-shape of the slice blade plate and the shape and dimensions of the shredder blade described in the embodiment are merely examples, and are not essential to the present invention.

[0053]

As described above, in the food cutter according to the first aspect, since the cutting edge of the slice blade plate is substantially V-shaped, the food is relatively laterally moved by the cutting edge. It is never shaken and the food hits the cutting edge is extremely stable. In addition, since the cutting of the food by the cutting blade is performed by "pulling", the slice can be sliced neatly without breaking the cut end.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the food can be sliced at a desired thickness. In the embodiment, the movable rubbing table is movably supported in a direction inclined with respect to the rubbing table main body, and the movable rubbing table is pressed in the front-rear direction according to the movement of the adjustment lever that rotates in a horizontal plane. Therefore, the adjusting means can be made quite thin.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to stably and neatly cut food.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, even if the positions of the shredder blades are not alternately shifted in the rubbing direction, the arrangement pitch of the shredder blades can be increased as much as possible in a state in which the shredder blades are arranged in a horizontal row (not necessarily right beside). Can be smaller.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the operation is very simple as compared with the conventional food holding device in which the food is grasped with a fingertip, and even if the food is small or unstable, it is stable. Can be held. Then, the food can be cut until immediately before the spike of the food press hits the cutting edge, so that it is possible to process all but the thickness of the spike pierced.
