Abstract: Raw food cutter for cutting raw food into strips, with a base plate on whose top surface are provided two butting faces located in one plane and between which is arranged at least one knife row running substantially at right angles to the cutting direction and whose knives with approximately inverted U-shaped cutting edges that project above the butting faces and are open towards the underside of the base plate. The underside of the knife is at least partly inclined towards the base plate, the knife row is constructed in arcuate meander-like manner and preferably in one piece from a thin metal band. The thin metal band includes upper and lower transverse webs and lateral webs linking them and is fixed with the lower transverse webs in the base plate.

Abstract: A kitchen utensil for cutting vegetables, in particular potatoes, into strips. The kitchen utensil comprises a base plate, which has provided on the upper side thereof at least one slide surface and, when seen in the direction of cutting, behind said slide surface, knives, which are open towards the underside of the base plate and the height of which projects beyond that of said slide surface. The knives are arranged in transverse rows, which are displaced relative to each other, and are provided with U-shaped cutting edges.

Abstract: A kitchen utensil for cutting foodstuffs such as vegetables or fruit into strips and particularly to a blade member therefor, the blade member comprising a strip of material such as metal which is integral with a plurality of spaced substantially vertical cutting blades which project from the plane of the strip, the strip being embedded in a guide plate, over which the foodstuff is moved during cutting, so that the blade member is securely held, the vertical blades projecting above the guide plate. The strip has cuts in one longitudinal edge and the metal between the cuts is bent up to form the vertical blades.

Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus for cutting foodstuffs, comprising a substantially flat body having a fixed cutting blade lying generally in the plane of the body and two separate substantially flat plates each with blades projecting from the plate, one plate being removably mountable with the flat body and the second plate being combinable with the first plate, whereby when the two plates are combined their blades alternate in a direction transversely of the plates as considered in a cutting direction of the apparatus.

Abstract: This invention relates to toys of the kind consisting of tablets which are preferably rectangular in shape and which are able to move under gravitational influence, being connected uninterruptedly together by tapes so as to be able to move in such a way that if the first tablet is taken hold of and the other tablets are allowed to hang free, then one face of the tablets is visible and if the first tablet is turned down in front of the next tablets below it, then all the tablets which are not held automatically turn over, whereupon the other face of the tablets is visible. According to the invention the tapes consist of segments of equal length having thickened end-pieces and each tablet is given cut-outs parallel to and spaced from the narrow sides of the tablet, which are adjacent adjoining tablets: the shape of the cut-outs allow them to receive and interengage with the end-pieces of the tapes.

Abstract: A slicer has two parallel rails, a removable front plate arranged between the rails, the lower surface of the front plate lying parallel to and at a distance beneath and in front of the upper surface of the back plate, and a blade arranged between the two plates; the blade has a cutting edge at least part of which lies in the same plane as the surface of the back plate. The underside of the front plate has bearers each containing at least one step, the bearers being supported on supporting ledges which project inwardly from the rails when the front plate is inserted. The cutting blade may be corrugated. In manufacturing the utensil, a suitable plastics material is injection-moulded in a single operation onto the cutting blade which has been previously inserted into the mould.
