20100064524 | Vibrating peeler - A vibrating peeler uses a vibrator in the form of a more powerful motor plus larger weight and within an inner housing. The inner housing is placed in an outer housing and a damper is placed between the outer handle and inner housing. Several embodiments are shown for blade loading. An alternative embodiment light weight eccentric which drives a heavier mass, but only back and forth rather than a circular pattern. This vibrating arrangement puts more lateral motion to the blade, and avoids other motion in directions not parallel to the blade. | 03-18-2010 |
20100192379 | CUTTING DEVICE FOR A SPHERICAL FRUIT OR VEGETABLE HAVING A SKIN. - Cutting device provided with a curved bottom surface having a predetermined radius of curvature, provided with a front part, a rear part and with at least one longitudinal edge, as well as a cutting blade which is arranged transversely on the bottom surface and which extends at a distance from the longitudinal edge, in a longitudinal direction from the front part to the rear part and is connected to the bottom surface, which front part of the bottom surface is narrower in a transverse direction than the rear part, with a cutting edge extending in the longitudinal direction from a front point of contact with the bottom surface to a top which is situated at a distance from the bottom surface, which distance is at least 50% of the radius of curvature, preferably at least 75% of the radius of curvature, most preferably is at least virtually as great as the radius of curvature, and with an angle between the cutting edge and the bottom surface in the front point of contact being between 65° and 40°. | 08-05-2010 |
20100269352 | Y PEELER - A preferred vegetable peeler includes a handle and a tool head, with the tool head being configured to removably hold a blade. The blade may be formed in any of a variety of ways, including a standard straight peeling blade, a serrated or scalloped blade, or other configurations. The tool head or blade holder in accordance with the present invention includes two branches extending away from a proximal end of the handle in order to hold the blade at an angle that is preferably substantially perpendicular to the handle. A cavity in the handle is configured to store one or more replacement blades. | 10-28-2010 |
20140230253 | HANDHELD KITCHEN UTENSIL - Provided is a handheld kitchen utensil including a frame; a cutting blade; and a spacer plate, the cutting blade and the spacer plate being pivotally mounted to the frame. The cutting blade and spacer plate may be pivotally displaceable between at least a peeling position and at least one slicing position. | 08-21-2014 |
030123600 | Including relatively movable parts | 4 |
20090313832 | Skinning Knife - A skinning knife, comprising a handle, a slitting blade disposed at a forward portion of the handle and having an upwardly- and forwardly-directed cutting edge, a first spreading member disposed at the forward most position of the knife so as to spread apart two portions of animal hide or other material that have been separated by the slitting blade as the knife is thrust forwardly, and a retractable punch blade disposed in the handle beneath slitting blade for opening a hole in the hide when the knife is thrust forwardly, the first spreading member having a slot therein for receiving the punch blade. A punch blade actuation mechanism is provided for selectively moving the punch blade forwardly and rearwardly through the slot in the first spreading member. Preferably, the skinning knife also comprises a second spreading member disposed below and forward of the first spreading member for facilitating entry into a small slit. | 12-24-2009 |
20100146793 | Skinning Knife - A skinning knife comprising a handle, a convex skinning blade, and one or more spreading members disposed at the forward most position of the knife so as to spread apart two portions of an animal hide that have been separated as the knife is thrust forwardly. A preferred embodiment also features a slitting blade disposed at a forward portion of the handle and having an upwardly- and forwardly-directed cutting edge, and a retractable punch blade disposed in the handle beneath the slitting blade for opening a hole in the hide when the knife is thrust forwardly, the first spreading member having a slot therein for receiving the punch blade. A blade actuation mechanism is provided for selectively moving the punch blade forwardly and rearwardly through the slot in the first spreading member. In alternative embodiments, an actuation mechanism moves the skinning blade or the spreading member. | 06-17-2010 |
20120222312 | ADJUSTABLE PEELER - An adjustable peeler with a peeler guide for controlling cutting depth while peeling a food article, such as, but not limited to, a fruit or vegetable, is disclosed. The peeler guide may be attached to a knife blade that may include a pair of apertures. The peeler guide may include a peeler blade for peeling the food article, at least two support legs, and a channel positioned in each support leg. The peeler guide may be secured to the knife blade with fasteners extending through the channels into the apertures in the knife blade. Additionally, the peeler guide may be adjustable such that the peeler guide is movable in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the knife blade via each channel. Furthermore, the peeler guide may be offset from the knife blade such that a gap exists between the knife blade and the peeler guide. | 09-06-2012 |
20140075759 | DOUBLE SIDED PEELER - A double sided peeler is disclosed. The double sided peeler has two peeler blades and a slide cover for protecting the user from the peeler blade that is not in use. Each peeler blade may have a different attribute to accommodate a wide range of fruits and vegetables. The double sided peeler has a spot tool and retainer for both removing unwanted spots from a fruit or vegetable and also for retaining the slide cover in a given position. A retention web on the slide cover cooperates with the spot tool and retainer to retain the slide cover in a given position that protects both the unused peeler blade and the user. | 03-20-2014 |
030123700 | Including a pointed blade | 1 |
20130036613 | DESEEDER AND VEGETABLE PEELER - The present invention is a deseeder and vegetable peeler with a front half and a back half that includes a handle that includes an elongated oval portion that ergonomically accommodates a user gripping the deseeder and vegetable peeler and a deseeding tool that includes an elongated scoop with a distal end and a proximal end and a double-sided vegetable peeler that is disposed on the approximate front half of the deseeder and vegetable peeler. There is also an attachment interface that attaches the handle to the back half of the deseeder and vegetable peeler and a pointed end that is utilized to puncture any vegetables or fruits that are to be deseeded or peeled with the deseeder and vegetable peeler. | 02-14-2013 |
