Slicing cutter for kitchen food-cutting appliance

摘要

A rotary slicing cutter for a kitchen food-cutting appliance comprises a disc (4) formed on one side with raised portions (15), for example in the form of ridges, which provide a surface for supporting and positioning the food during operation of the cutter, the surface lying in a first plane (16) perpendicular to the central axis of the disc. Fixed on the same side of the disc over an opening (7) therein, and on an unraised portion of the disc, is a cutter blade (3), the cutting edge (9) of which lies in a second plane (17) perpendicular to the central axis of the disc. There may be a plurality of such blades. The distance between the two planes determines the thickness of the slices cut by the blade or blades. Different slice thicknesses can be obtained by the use of a set of interchangeable cutters of the above construction which differ from one another only in the height of the raised portions on the disc of each cutter and therefore in the distance between the first and second planes.
