Patent number: 7966737Abstract: A kitchen appliance for cutting cuttable material such as vegetables, fruit, etc., with a main body. The appliance comprises a guide surface on which the cuttable material can be moved to and fro, and a blade which, for cutting, is arranged offset in relation to the guide surface so that a piece is cut off from a cuttable material moved on the guide surface in the guide direction toward the blade. The offset between the blade and the guide surface determines the cutting thickness. The appliance further comprises an exchangeable insert for modifying the cutting thickness.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2006Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Boerner Kunststoff- und Metallwarenfabrik GmbHInventor: Juergen Boerner

Patent number: 7802366Abstract: A reversal insert for a slicer for chopping up items such as fruit, vegetables, etc. has a base plate, of which one side is designed as a bearing surface. In a first reversal position of the insert the item can be guided longitudinally on the bearing surface onto a cutting edge of a blade of the slicer. The insert includes first fastening elements in order for the insert to be secured on a basic body of the slicer in the first reversal position, and second fastening elements in order for the insert to be secured on the basic body in a second reversal position. The second fastening means are arranged such that, in the second reversal position, the insert covers the cutting edge of the blade from above.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Boerner Kunststoff-und Metallwarenfabrik GmbHInventor: Juergen Boerner

Patent number: 7322112Abstract: A kitchen slicer for cutting items to be cut such as fruit, vegetables etc. is proposed, with a base, to which a blade is fixed, which is arranged on an edge of a discharge plate, and an exchangeable insert, which can be fixed to the base in different positions for setting different cutting thicknesses. The insert forms a guide surface on which the items to be cut can be moved toward the blade. The different positions including a safety position in which an end side of the insert is arranged adjacent to the blade, in particular in such a way that the guide surface lies at the level of the blade or above it. In this connection, the insert comprises on its rear end side at least one projection which lies below the blade in the safety position.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Boerner Kunststoff-und Metallwarenfabrik GmbHInventor: Juergen Boerner

Patent number: 5148731Abstract: The invention is directed to a device for cutting fruit, vegetables or the like into slices, comprising a blade-holding plate at whose leading edge a V-shaped cutter blade is arranged, comprising two framing ledges arranged essentially parallel that are connected to one another by the blade-holding plate and by at least one further transverse web, and comprising a slide plate guided at the framing ledges and introducible parallel to the blade-holding plate, whereby a narrow gap remains between the back edge of the slide plate and the cutter blade. It is inventively provided that a support plate (11) fashioned as a closed surface is arranged under the slide plate (6) in order to increase the stability of the slide plate, particularly to counter sagging when pressure is exerted on the material to be cut.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1991Date of Patent: September 22, 1992Inventor: Juergen Boerner
