  • Patent number: 4423551
    Abstract: An improved utensil for cutting pizza or the like is disclosed having a sharpened cutting wheel and a planar blade with a sharpened edge, the edges of both the wheel and blade are aligned so that the cutting paths traversed by each coincide. The pizza crust edges and the pizza body can then be cut respectively by the blade and cutter wheel in one cutting stroke across the pizza. The blade end further includes angled corners for completely separating the pizza at the pan corners. The planar blade is of sufficient width to hold a piece of pizza thereon for serving, and includes a serrated cutting edge to aid in inserting the blade between the pizza and the pan.

  • Patent number: 4301594
    Abstract: A rotary cutter comprises a generally elongated plate-like handle having a bearing aperture defined at one end thereof, a shaft member supported by the handle and extending through the bearing aperture, a disc blade rotatably mounted on the shaft and lying in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft member and in parallel to any one of the opposed surfaces of the handle, and a device for adjustably applying a frictional force to the disc blade in a direction generally perpendicular to the disc blade. The disc blade is, when the rotary cutter is in use, rotated in contact with the material to be cut in a controlled manner.

  • Patent number: 3994652
    Abstract: This invention consists of a combined rolling pin and dough cutter. It is made up mainly of a central shaft provided with a handle at each end, and a series of abutting cylindrical rollers, all of the same diameter, rotate freely upon the central shaft to function as a rolling pin. To perform as a dough cutter, a series of circular cutting discs are inserted between the rollers. These discs are of a larger diameter than the rollers, so that their cutting edge extends beyond said rollers. One handle of the shaft is permanently fixed to the shaft while the other handle unscrews from the shaft to allow the insertion of the rollers and discs. One of the handles of the shaft is bored with a longitudinal hole into which is inserted a center pin which is used for cutting circular sections of dough used in pie making.
