Abstract
Description
Technical area:
[0001] The present invention relates to a manual device for chopping and portioning food, in particular sausages. The device is suitable for both household and catering use and enables simple, safe, and even cutting of food. State of the art:
[0002] Various devices for mincing and portioning food are known from the state of the art. Such devices are often complex in design, large and bulky, or require complex operation. Especially for mincing sausages, existing devices often consist of multiple components that are difficult to clean or are designed for machine processing, making them unsuitable for household use.
[0003] In addition, conventional devices are often expensive to manufacture and maintain and do not offer a compact and cost-effective approach for chopping food in smaller quantities. These disadvantages make their practical use difficult both in households and small catering establishments. Object of the invention:
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a compact, handy, and easy-to-use cutting device, particularly suitable for chopping sausages of various sizes. The device should ensure consistent and safe portioning of the food while being easy to clean and inexpensive to manufacture. The invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of existing devices and create a solution that is practical both in the home and in the catering industry. Solution to the task:
[0005] The solution to this problem is provided by a manual food cutting device consisting of a housing with a folding device. The folding device comprises a molded part used to position the food, in particular sausages of various sizes, and a folding part to which several parallel stainless steel blades are attached.
[0006] When the lid is closed, the food is safely guided through the stainless steel blades and cut into even pieces. The design of the device ensures stable positioning of the food during the cutting process, minimizing the risk of injury to the user.
[0007] The housing of the device is preferably made of plastic, while the blades are made of stainless steel. This choice of material ensures high durability and stability, as well as cost-effective and economical production. The device is compact and lightweight, allowing for easy handling and space-saving storage. It is also fully dishwasher-safe, allowing for quick and hygienic cleaning. Examples of implementation:
[0008] A preferred embodiment of the cutting device consists of a rectangular housing with an integrated folding mechanism. The flap is connected to the housing via a hinge and allows for easy opening and closing by hand.
[0009] The lower half of the device forms a molded part that serves as a holder for the food. This molded part is shaped to allow food, especially sausages of various sizes, to be positioned safely and securely. The upper half of the device, the flap, is equipped with several parallel blades. These blades are preferably made of stainless steel and are firmly anchored in the flap, so that when the flap closes, they cut through the food positioned in the molded part.
[0010] The housing of the device is preferably made of plastic, which makes it cost-effective to manufacture and reduces the weight of the device. Due to its compact design, the cutting device is easy to handle and saves space when stored.
[0011] The device is designed to be completely dishwasher safe, allowing for easy and hygienic cleaning. The blade arrangement ensures that food is cut evenly into pieces without slipping or uneven cuts.
[0012] Alternatively, further embodiments of the cutting device may include additional functionalities, such as interchangeable blades to create different cutting patterns. These variants expand the versatility of the invention without compromising its basic functionality. Advantages of the invention:
[0013] The present invention offers a number of advantages compared to the prior art: 1. Compact and lightweight design: The cutting device's compact size and light weight make it particularly handy and easy to use. It's therefore suitable for use in both the home and the catering industry. 2. Cost-effective production: By using preferred materials such as plastic for the housing and Using stainless steel for the blades, the device can be produced economically without compromising on stability and durability. 3. Hygienic cleaning: The cutting device is fully dishwasher safe, allowing for quick and hygienic cleaning. 4. Consistent and safe portioning: The design ensures even chopping of the food, especially sausages, without risk of injury to the user. 5. Versatile applicability: The device is not only suitable for sausages of different sizes, but can also be used for other foods, which expands its application possibilities.
