Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0116017A1] An electric household appliance comprises a container (9) in which a motor-driven shaft (7) is supported axially, a hopper-duct (13) having an end (14) opening into the container (9) and extending parallel to and eccentrically of the shaft (7), a comb-shaped cutting tool (19, 20) fixed for rotation with the shaft (7) at a distance from the open end (14) of the hopper-duct (13) equal to the length of its blades (19), a disc (25) fixed for rotation with the shaft (7) by means of a splined coupling (27) and having a plurality of slots (29) through which the blades (19) of the cutting tool (19, 20) pass, the disc (25) being located between the cutting tool (19, 20) and the open end (14) of the hopper-duct (13), and a slicing blade (31) fixed for rotation with the shaft (7). The blade (31) is structurally independant of the disc (25) and extends coplanar with the open end (14) of the hopper-duct (13) to rotate edgewise thereto. The appliance also includes manually operable means (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41) for moving the disc (25) away from or closer to the open end (14) of the hopper-duct (13). The appliance allows fruit, vegetables and similar food products to be cut into small sticks or chunks of a thickness which can be varied at will simply by adjusting the position of the disc (25) on the shaft (7), the position of the disc being adjustable without having to dismantle and reassemble all the components of the appliance.
