Patent number: 8596192Abstract: A container includes an internal plate having slicing blade supported by a lower container and covered by a lid. A threaded axle is connected to a hand crank extending from the top of the lid and urges a pusher downward toward the blade as the crank is turned. A food item carried on the pusher is thereby forced downward and rotated against the blade and cut in accordance with the size of the threads on the axle. Additional interchangeable plates are provided, including cheese grating and juice reaming plates.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Progressive International CorporationInventors: Lawrence M.
