Abstract

The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a food mincer with blades that are not exposed, simple activation by pressing the actuator down, a transparent bottom vessel allowing the food preparer to see the food while it is being minced, dual rotating blades which rotate around the vertical axis and the horizontal axis, and blades interdisposed for better cuts.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

a housing;

a bottom vessel attached to the housing, the bottom vessel configured to hold cut food and uncut food, the bottom vessel being transparent so that the amount of cut food and uncut food in the bottom vessel is visible;

one or more blades covered by the bottom vessel, the blades configured to cut food; and

an actuator coupled to the blades, the blades activated by the actuator moving from a first position to a second position, wherein the blades rotate around a horizontal axis and around a vertical axis.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the blades comprise a first blade set and a second blade set, wherein the first blade set is interdisposed within the second blade set.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the first blade set spins and the second blade set is fixed.

4. The device of claim 2, wherein both the first blade set and the second blade set spin.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the actuator comprises manual and motorized operations.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the actuator is activated by manually pushing the actuator vertically downward from the first position to the second position.

7. A device comprising:

a housing;

one or more blades covered by the housing, the blades configured to cut food, wherein the blades comprise a first blade set and a second blade set, wherein the first blade set is interdisposed within the second blade set; and

an actuator coupled to the blades, the blades activated by the actuator moving from a first position to a second position, wherein the blades rotate around a vertical axis.

8. The device of claim 7, further comprising a bottom vessel attached to the housing, the bottom vessel configured to hold cut food and uncut food, the bottom vessel transparent so that the amount of cut food and uncut food in the bottom vessel is visible.

9. The device of claim 7, wherein the blades rotate around a horizontal axis.

10. The device of claim 7, wherein the first blade set spins and the second blade set is fixed.

11. The device of claim 7, wherein both the first blade set and the second blade set spin.

12. The device of claim 7, wherein the actuator comprises manual and motorized operations.

13. The device of claim 7, wherein the actuator is activated by manually pushing the actuator vertically downward from the first position to the second position.

14. A device comprising:

a housing;

one or more blades covered by the housing, the blades configured to cut food, wherein the blades comprise a first blade set and a second blade set, wherein the first blade set is interdisposed within the second blade set; and

a motorized actuator coupled to the blades, wherein the actuator is activated by manually pushing the actuator vertically downward from the first position to the second position, wherein the blades rotate around a vertical axis.

15. The device of claim 14, further comprising a bottom vessel attached to the housing, the bottom vessel configured to hold cut food and uncut food, the bottom vessel transparent so that the amount of cut food and uncut food in the bottom vessel is visible.

16. The device of claim 14, wherein the blades rotate around a horizontal axis.

17. The device of claim 14, wherein the first blade set spins and the second blade set is fixed.

18. The device of claim 14, wherein both the first blade set and the second blade set spin.
