I. J. FEDJE GRATER WITH GUARD MEANS June 25, 1957 Filed March 15, 1956 Ida J Fcy'e INVENTOR ATTORNEYS United States Patent GRATER WITH GUARD MEANS Ida J. Fedje, Los Angeles, Calif.
Application March 15, 1956, Serial No. 571,737
1 Claim. (Cl. 146-180) This invention relates to an improved grater.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved grater which is formed from a single piece of sheet metal and which is of transversely arcuate configuration with the blades struck from the body of the device and projecting inwardly from the concave side of the device.
Another object of this invention is to provide a grater having inwardly projecting blades extending from the concave side thereof with a pair of transversely arcuate flanges which provide a bracing means for the device and also provide a guard means to protect the hands and fingers of the user against contact with the blades.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts, hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts with out departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure l is a plan view of a grater constructed according to an embodiment of this invention showing the forward operating side of the device.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary plan view of a modified form of this invention.
Refering to the drawing, the numeral designates generally an elongated body formed from a sheet of metal. The body 10 is of transversely arcuate configuration and the longitudinal edges of the body 10 are extended along a relatively short are, so as to provide a pair of longitudinal side flanges 11 which are also of transversely arcuate configuration. These flanges 11 have the concave inner sides thereof in confronting position and merging with the concave operating side 12 of the body 10. The free edges of the flanges 11 are bent inwardly so as to form transversely arcuate longitudinal beads 13.
The body 10 is also provided at each end thereof with right-angular flanges 14 which extend right-angularly from the convex outer side 15 of the body 10. The body 10 is provided with a plurality of openings 16 and extending from each opening v16 there is formed a grater blade 17. These blades 17 are of transversely arcuate configuration, being pressed inwardly from the concave side of the body 10. There are two series of openings in the body 10, one series being indicated at 16 with blades 17 associated therewith and the other series of openings are indicated at 18. Inwardly pressed grater blades 19 are disposed adjacent each opening 18. These openings 18 and the blades 19 are substantially smaller in size than the openings 16 and the blades 17. A longitudinal bracing bead 20 is spaced from the concave sides 11 of the body 10 and forms a divider between the blades 17 and 19.
Referring now to Fig. 4 there is disclosed a modified form of this invention embodying a transversely arcuate body 21 having arcuate beads 22 similar to beads 13 which extend from side flanges 23 similar to side flanges 11. The body 21 has struck inwardly therefrom a plurality of grater blades 24 which are formed by punching triangular openings through the body 21.
In the use of this grater the structure shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, is disposed in a bowl or dish with the convex side 15 against the inside of the dish. The vegetables or other articles which are being grated are then held between the fingers of one hand with the other hand holding the sides 11 of the grater. The article is then moved up and down in either one of the series of blades 17 or 19. The rounded beads 13 will provide smooth surfaces for engagement with the hand or fingers which will not injure or cut the hand or fingers so that the article being grated may be cut down to a very small size without injury to the hands or fingers.
What is claimed is:
