Abstract

A food cutter, characterized by being formed of two complementary parts, whose parts are a cutting mechanism and a guiding cup, which guides and holds the food to be cut by the first; the cutting mechanism being formed by a platform provided with linear protuberances parallel to the strips, whose platform is separated in two parts by a toothed blade, coplanar and fixed to one of them, the other being mobile and operable by a crankshaft mechanism located under the same and governed by an external control to the lateral band, whose crankshaft displaces, by points, the end of the platform next to the blade, vertically with respect to its plane, producing a greater or lesser separation between both, depending on the thickness of the food piece to be obtained, keeping the position fixed throughout the operation; and because, crossing perpendicularly to the mobile platform, by grooves, located before reaching the transversal blade according to the movement of the food in the cut, there are other blades arranged in double row, alternately one and the other, destined to optionally cut, the food in fillets or squares, whose blades are brought out or not to the upper part of the platform, by a mechanism with crankshaft, governed by a lateral control in both extreme positions, whose action of the crankshaft is exerted on a lower, internal platform, which holds the blades vertically; and because the complementary part of the cutter, referred to as a guide cup, consists of a hollow cylinder, closed by a base and opened by the opposite one, in which a piece in the form of a crown is mounted, with a flange to be guided said cup. Guide by the grooves of the side bands of the cutting mechanism, whose part acts as a stop for a plate inside the cylinder, driven by a spring, which is provided on its entire surface with protuberances that are embedded in the food that has to imprison, the guiding cup guiding its interior, along its generatrix, a guide that restrains the rotation of the plate on itself, so arranged the system that the food to be cut is fixed in the hollow of the cylinder included between the internal plate and the outside, being, at the moment of the cut, imprisoned on the platform of the cutter, to be driven manually towards the blades, while the rim of the guide-glass slides through the grooves it is from the side bands of the cutter.
