Abstract: A turning device for food processors that include a rotatable cutter to cut foodstuffs to be processed. A stationary container is fitted with a lid, and a tubular member extends upwardly from the container bottom through which a driven shaft extends. The cutter is mounted on the shaft and includes a sleeve-like central part and radially-outwardly-extending cutting knives. The turning device includes at least a pair of strips that extend axially from a tubular holder that is adapted to fit over the central part of the cutter. In use, the turning device is disposed over the central part of the cutter with the holder positioned above the strips. The turning device extends longitudinally relative to the cutter to cover essentially the whole of the central part of the cutter above the position of the cutting knives, and it is stationary relative to the container during operation of the food processor.
Abstract: A cutting device for food processors wherein the processor is a cutting machine for cutting or chopping raw foodstuffs. The machine includes a container. A cutting device that includes a central sleeve-like part is non-rotatably fitted to a driven shaft and carries a cutting tool at its lower end, the cutting tool including knives that extend radially outwards from the sleeve. The cutting device includes a first pair of knives with respective knives extending radially from opposite sides of the central part close to the bottom of the central part. At least one second knife projects radially outwards from the central part higher up from the bottom of the central part than the first pair of knives. The second knife has a shorter bade than the knives of the first pair.
