Abstract
The invention relates to a food comminution device which is designed to be placed on a worktop for a comminution operation, having an actuation part and having a base part which has a cutting part, wherein the base part and the actuation part are articulatedly connected such that the actuation part can, for pushing through food items to be comminuted, be pivoted from a loading position toward the cutting part into a closed position and subsequently from the closed position back into the loading position. The food comminution device is characterized in that the food comminution device has at least one drive device, in particular a spring drive, for assisting or effecting the pivoting movement from the closed position into the loading position and/or from the loading position into the closed position.
Claims16
A food comminution device (1) comprising:
- a base part (2) including a cutting part (3);
- an actuation part (6) articulatedly connected to the base part (2), wherein the actuation part (6) is pivotable toward the cutting part (3) from a loading position into a closed position to push food items to be comminuted through the cutting part (3), and is pivotable from the closed position back into the loading position;
- and
- a drive device (12) for pivotally urging the actuation part;
- and
- a coupling element to which the drive device is operably connected, wherein the coupling element is slideable along an axis between a coupling position and a decoupling position, and when the coupling element is in the coupling position, an end of the coupling element is received in a corresponding recess of the base or the actuation part to positively lock the coupling element to the base part or the actuation part, and when the coupling element is in the decoupling position the end of the coupling element is decoupled from the recess;
- wherein the actuation part is rotatable relative to the base when the coupling element is in either the coupling position or the decoupling position, and
- the actuation part (6) is detachable from the base part (2) when the actuation part (6) is in the loading position.
