  • the upper housing is an inverted cup-shape, in that the cutter disk is detachably and rotatably supported by the lower housing and has a spindle formed with a bore which is coaxial with the axis of the lower housing and with the drive shaft, in that the bore of the spindle is non-rotatably and detachably connectable to a lower engaging portion of the drive shaft which extends into the lower housing when the housings are interconnected so that the cutter disk is centred on its axis of rotation at two axially displaced locations in the region of the lower engaging portion of the drive shaft and of a support pin located within the lower housing, and in that a fixing apparatus is attached to a lower portion of the lower housing for fixing the lower housing 2 to the said firm surface.
  • FIGs 1 to 16 show a cutting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a cutting device is generally indicated by reference numeral 1.
  • a cup-shaped lower housing 2 for storing cut pieces of vegetable is mounted on a fixing apparatus 3 which fixes the lower housing 2 onto a base plate by a sucker member 4 manually operated by a lever 5.
  • An inverted cup-shape upper housing 6 is placed on the lower housing 2 and covers an opening thereof.
  • the upper housing 6 is detachably interconnected to the lower housing 2 by a pair of connecting apparatuses 7.
  • a cutter disk 8 fitted with cutter blades 9 is arranged in the lower housing 2.
  • the cutter disk 8 is rotatable about the central axis of the lower housing, and is rotated by a handle 10 attached outside of the upper housing 6.

  • a cutting edge 49 of the cutter blade 9 projects from the upper surface of the cutter disk 8 in such a manner that the edge 49 will cut or slice a vegetable.
  • the retainer plate 41 is supported by a rim 43 formed on the lower face of the disk 8.
  • the cutter disk 8 has annular ribs 44, 45 which protrude from the lower face thereof. These ribs 44, 45 are concentric with and provide rigidity to the disk 8.
  • the upper housing 6 has a downward extending tubularwall 46 terminating in the vicinity of an upper face of the disk 8.
  • the tubular wall 46 defines the inlet 11, which the upper face of the disk 8 faces.
  • the inlet 11 is formed at a half part of the upper housing 6, but is not formed at the box. Thus, the inlet 11 is opened along the rotational direction of the disk 8.
  • a pushdown member 47 may be provided for pressing a vegetable inserted in the inlet 11 onto the upper face of the cutter disk 8.
  • the pushdown member 47 is formed into a shape that conforms to the shape of the inlet 11, and has a head portion 48 for manual handling, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8.

Consequently, a space 64, defined by the sucker member4 and the base plate, has a relatively small volume. To the contrary, if the lever 5 is rotated about 180°, the crank portion 57 is moved upward so that the central portion of the sucker member4 is raised, as shown in Fig. 10.
  • the volume of the space 64 is enlarged so that a vacuum is formed in the space 64, and the flat portion 51 of the sucker member 4 makes a sealed contact with the base plate, whereby the fixing apparatus 3 sticks to the base plate.
  • the first annular rib 52 engages with the outer surface of the wall 55, the flat portion 51 does not move inwards, and, since the flat portion 51 has a relatively wide breadth and is formed with the second annular rib 53, the rigidity of the flat portion 51 is increased and the flat portion 51 is placed in firm contact with the base plate, and will not separate from the base plate.
  • the fixing apparatus 3 is released from the base plate by rotating the lever 5 to a position shown in Fig. 9.
