Abstract: The invention relates to a joint, in which a first joint part and a second joint part are connected so as to be pivotable relative to one another, having a drive device, in particular a spring drive, for assisting or effecting the pivoting movement. The joint is characterized in that the drive device is selectively activatable or deactivatable and/or in that the assistance force of the drive device is adjustable. The invention also relates in particular to a food comminution device having a joint of said type.

Abstract: A device for cutting food, such as fruit and vegetables, comprising a cutting part having several blades and an actuation part, the parts being mounted, so that they can pivot counter to each other by means of a pivot bearing, and the actuation part is pressed against the cutting part in order to cut the food to be cut, and a multifunctional kitchen device comprising this device. The device may also have a cover part for that is affixed onto a collecting container for the cut food, whereby the lid part has an opening with a passage for the cut food. A pivot bearing can be accommodated in the opening.

Abstract: In order to set the cutting thickness in kitchen slicers, it is a known procedure to arrange a feed plate at a slant relative to the blade. As an alternative, solutions are known according to which the feed plates are changed so that a suitable feed plate is provided for each cutting thickness that can be set. The objective of the invention is to provide a simple alternative. Towards this end, the invention proposes that the feed plate (11) can be moved surface-parallel to a fixed plate (12) that is connected to the blade (13). This movement can be effectuated by means of a combination of vertical and horizontal movements of the feed plate and of a positioning slide (14) associated with said feed plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (100) for cutting food, such as fruit and vegetables, comprising a cutting part (2) having several blades (1) and an actuation part (3), said parts being mounted, so that they can pivot counter to each other by means of a pivot bearing (9), and the actuation part (3) is pressed against the cutting part (2) in order to cut the food to be cut. Said device also comprises a cover part (5) that is affixed onto a collecting container (6) for the cut food, whereby the lid part (5) has an opening (7) with a passage (8) for the cut food. It is provided that the pivot bearing (9) is accommodated in the opening (7). The invention also relates to a multifunctional device for the kitchen, and having a device (100) for cutting food, such as fruit and vegetables.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cutting produce, in particular vegetables or fruit, comprising a cutting part (5), arranged in the region of a receptacle (18) for the material to be cut, and a punch element (6) engaging in the receptacle (18), wherein the punch element (6) has recesses (10) for completely receiving the cutting blades (9) of the cutting part (5) when the device is in the closed position. According to the invention, fastening means are provided in the region of the receptacle (18) for the material to be cut for optionally fixing at least one additional cutting part (12), wherein the punch element (6) has recesses (13) for completely receiving the cutting blades (14) of the at least one additional cutting part (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cutting fruit and vegetables, in particular onions, having a cutter member (3) that has a plurality of blades (2) and having a counterpart element (4) against which the cutter member (3) is pressed for cutting the material to be cut, wherein the counterpart element (4) has a punch (5) which presses the material to be cut through the cutter member (3), or the blades (2) thereof. For receiving the cut material, a container (6) is releasably disposed on the cutter member (3), on its side remote from the counterpart element (4), in the region of the blades (2). The container (6) is mounted upside down on the cutter member (3) to allow a user to operate the device with two hands by pressing with one hand on a free end of the cutter member (3) and by pressing with the other hand on the bottom of the container (6) to pivot the cutter member (3) downward.

Abstract: The invention provides a locking wall hanger having a pointed end, which is designed to create a hole in the wall as the hanger is inserted therethrough. Whereas a self-boring tip penetrates the wall and embeds itself in the rear wall surface a mid-parabolic portion of the hanger is adjusted to provide a spring force for locking the hanger to the wall. In order to compensate for an undue tilt of the hanger in its final assembly position, the angle between a hook portion protruding from the wall's front side and shank portion penetrating the wall is smaller than 90°. Further the invention provides an adapter piece being adapted to be supported by the hanger.
