During a chopping cycle, the plungers are pushed back by the food to be chopped and compress their associated spring. When released, the wipers on each plunger squeegee the inner walls of the cell thereby achieving a cleaning action. Chopped food waste is minimized by careful placement of the wipers on the body of the plungers, placement of the plungers within the cells and by having a substantially flat bottom surface of the plungers which are mostly flush with the cutting edges of the cutter. Use of the wiper permits the food chopper to achieve very efficient chopping with minimal waste and a self-cleaning mechanism. | 09-18-2014 |

The wiper can be moved along the blade toward the knifepoint to wipe off any food debris on the side surfaces of the blade. The wiper blade length is sized to be less than the height of the blade so that the wiper can remain in position proximate the hilt of the knife without interfering with cutting operations. The wiper blades have a thin profile so that, when positioned proximate the hilt of the knife, they do not project beyond the girth of the knife in order not to interfere with the user's sightlines or cutting operations. | 02-04-2016 |
20160031112 | MAGNETIC KNIFE WEDGE ATTACHMENT - A magnetic knife wedge attachment for use with a knife has a spine-mounting portion carrying a permanent magnet adapted to be placed in magnetic contact on the spine of the knife blade, and a blade-mounting portion carrying another permanent magnet forming an L-shaped cross-section with the spine-mounting portion and adapted for magnetic attachment to the side surface of the knife blade. The blade-mounting portion has beveled surfaces tapering to sharp edges so as to form a wedge shape around the edges of the blade-mounting portion for forcing cut food material to tilt outward to prevent adhesion of the cut material to the knife blade. By its magnetic attachment onto two contiguous portions of the metal knife blade, the wedge device provides magnetic strength and holding forces to remain locked onto the knife blade during use for cutting food material. | 02-04-2016 |

20130118017 | MOTOR DRIVEN ROTATIONAL SAMPLING APPARATUS WITH REMOVABLE CUTTING TOOLS FOR MATERIAL COLLECTION - A motorized apparatus to simultaneously excise, retrieve, temporarily store and transport a sample of material has a hollow clamshell casing with a blended contoured grip for the fingers, a horizontal extension to eliminate slippage when held in a user's hand, and a flange bottom portion from which a removable cutting tool threaded to a drive shaft extends downwards. Within the clamshell casing an electric motor is mounted which drives, via gears, a drive shaft which rotates a cutting tool threaded to the distal end of the drive shaft. The end of the cutting tool, distal from the clamshell casing, forms a cutting edge circumscribing a circular region. An ejection rod slides reciprocally within the cutting tool between a stowed position and an expulsion position. Users core a sample from the source material by engaging contact between the cutting edge of the cutting tool and the surface of the source material, applying pressure against the surface of the source material while simultaneously activating the motor to rotate the cutting tool. The cutting region of the cutting tool passes through the source material contacting the support surface below the source material which urges the cored sample into the lumen of the cutting tool. The sample may be stored in the lumen or transported. Activation of the ejection rod moves from the stowed position towards the expulsion position displacing the temporarily stored sample from the lumen space in the cutting tool into the appropriate collection receptacle or onto a desired surface. | 05-16-2013 |
