Jan. 1, 1952 J. H. DAWSON CHOPPING BLOCK OR KNIFE ANVIL Filed March 15. 1948 JOHN b. DAWSO/Y Patented Jan. 1, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CHOPPING BLOCK R KNIFE ANVIL John H. Dawson, Rockville, Md.
Application March 15, 1948, Serial No. 14,927
2 Claims.
This invention relates to a chopping block or knife anvil adapted to be used in conjunction with a knife in the dicing of celery or similar crisp or brittle vegetables.
An object of the invention is to provide a device of the character indicated, of exceptional simplicity which will permit the rapid cutting of stalks of celery into small sections for use in salads and the like, and eliminate any necessity for careful positioning of the celery in connection with successive strokes of the knife. thereby rendering the process rapid, simple and highly efficient.
A further ob ect of the invention is to provide a device of the character indicated susceptible to modifications in form, permitting the rapid dici of such vegetables as celery, carrots or the like.
Other obiects will more particu arl appear in the course of the following detailed description.
Two sheets of rawings acc moanv this soecificati n as a t there f, in which like reference characters in cate like parts throughout.
In the drawin s:
Fi ure 1 is a perspective view of the improved device.
Figure 2 is a lon itudinal cross secti n view taken throu h the knife blade and looking toward the chopping block member: and
Figure 3 is a transverse cross section through the chop ing block and associated blade.
In accordance with the present invention the knife includes a b ade B arranged in longitudinal ali nment with a handle H.
The blade 13 is formed with a plura ity of spaced transversely arran ed shorter blades B" the ed es of which blades lie in a common plane with t e edge of the blade B.
A spring strap 3 is formed at one end with a loop 5 conforming in shape and size with the cross section of the handle adiacent the blade end. On the underface of the spring strap 3 and between that strap and the edges of the blades B and B" is secured an anvil block I of wood or some similar material not a t to dull the knife blades, and the under face of this block is formed with a longitudinal groove 2 and transversely extending grooves 1 conforming in size and number with the edges of the blades B and B".
The initial set of the spring strap 3 is such that the anvil block I is spaced from and above the cutting edges of the blades B and B" so that the article to be diced can be readily inserted between the block and blade edges as indicated in Figure l. The operator by simply grasping the knife and depressing the spring strap 3 can readily dice that portion of the vegetable positioned between the block I and the blade edg s.
Other similar modifications of the device will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, but all within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim:
1. A culinary tool for dicing vegetables comprising a knife having a handle and a principal blade, said blade formed with a longitudinally extending cutting edge extending in substantial alignment with the handle and further formed with a plurality of laterally extending spaced secondary blades each having a cutting edge, the cutting edges of said secondary blades all positioned in a common plane with the cutting edge oi. the principal blade in combination with a loop member adapted to snugly embrace the handle, a resilient back strip having one end secured to said loop, said back strip extending over the cutting edges of the blade, and an anvil part of relatively soft non-edge dulling material secured to said back strip confronting the knife edges.
2. A culinary tool for dicing vegetables comprising a knifehaving a handle and a principal blade. said blade formed with a, longitudinally extending cutting edge extending in substantial alignment with the handle and further formed with a plurality oi laterally extending spaced secondary blades each having a cutting edge, the cutting edges of said secondary blades all positioned in a common plane with the cut ting edge of the principal blade, in combination with a loop member adapted to snugly embrace the handle, a resilient back'strip having one end secured to said loop, said back strip extending over the cutting edges of the blade, and an anvil part of relatively soft non-edge dulling material secured to said back strip confronting the knife edges, the face of said anvil part confronting the knife edges formed with depressions complementary to said knife edges.
