  • Patent number: 7480999
    Abstract: A foldable blade assembly enables users to section and display a food preparation within a food preparation container. The blade assembly comprises radially orientable cutting blades sized and shaped to fit within a food preparation container for sectioning and displaying the food preparation. A centralized hinge structure hingedly connects the cutting blades providing structure for pivotally changing the relationship between the cutting blades from radially orientable blade configuration to a substantially coplanar arrangement for storage. A manually removable handle assembly is provided to enable manual force perpendicular to the cutting blades for sectioning the food preparation.

  • Publication number: 20040250667
    Abstract: A foldable cutter for sectioning an entire food item within a baking pan into smaller sections. The cutter has an orthogonally arranged lattice of cutting blades sized and shaped to fit within a baking pan having an upright side for sectioning an entire food item within the food preparation container into a plurality of smaller sections. A plurality of hinge connections hingedly connects the cutting blades providing means for pivotally changing the relationship between the cutting blades from the orthogonal arrangement to a substantially coplanar arrangement for storage. The end portions of the cutting blades are angled to compensate for angularity of the upright side of the baking pan during use. A removable handle is used for providing manual force perpendicular to the cutting blades during use.
