Abstract

This is a food-cutting apparatus wherein: a cutting blade is disposed on a back surface of a cutting plate so as to protrude its front tip from an opening provided in the cutting plate; the cutting plate is disconnectably mounted on a mounting plate having a saddlelike engaging recess at its middle portion; the mounting plate engages at its engaging recess rotatably with a supporting rod interposed between a pair of arms provided on the supporting plate which is provided in a back side of the cutting plate; a width of the cutting blade is shorter in dimension than a length of an interval between the pair of arms; and, interposed between a rear portion of the mounting plate and the supporting plate are a spring and an adjusting means for adjusting a protruding amount of the front tip of the cutting blade.

Claims

1. A food-cutting apparatus wherein a cutting blade is disposed on a back surface of a cutting plate so as to protrude its front tip from a opening provided in said cutting plate, characterized in that:

a supporting plate is fixed to said back surface of said cutting plate near said opening;

a pair of arms are provided on a reverse side surface of said supporting plate with respect to said cutting plate;

between said pair of arms a supporting rod is interposed and axially supported;

an engaging recess formed in a middle portion of a mounting plate for said cutting blade is rotatably mounted on said supporting rod in a saddling manner at a side of said supporting rod opposite to said supporting plate, in a front portion of which mounting plate said cutting blade is disconnectably connected;

a length of said mounting plate between opposite ends thereof is shorter than that of an interval between said pair of arms;

a spring means is interposed between said mounting plate and said supporting plate behind said engaging recess; and

an adjusting means for adjusting a protruding amount of said front tip of said cutting blade is disconnectably connected between a rear portion of said mounting plate and said supporting plate.
