## Abstract

The present invention pertains to a cordless electrical grater, comprising a washable food container and a cordless electrical device, wherein the last one can be inserted substantially inside the free cavity of the first one in order to minimize the size, wherein interaction between both allow working cycles, wherein no turning parts are exposed, wherein pressing the food container on the electrical base activates the device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cordless electrical grater, comprising:
a first sub assembly (RD) comprising a grater; and
a cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) comprising:
a motor,
a battery, and
a push switch faced towards the first sub assembly, so that the motor is electrically powered by a vertical pressure on the first sub assembly transmitted to the push switch;
wherein the first sub assembly (RD) further comprises:
a housing (CB) adapted to remain static during use of the cordless electrical grater;
a turning contact surface facing the push switch of the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) and the vertical pressure transmitted to the push switch electrically powers the motor;
a food holder (HO) adapted to turn inside the housing (CB) with the turning contact surface during use of the cordless electrical grater, and
wherein the first sub assembly (RD) is a washable food container.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cordless electrical grater according to claim 1, wherein the food holder (HO) has a non-food contact side surface enclosing a cavity into which the cordless electrical second sub assembly is inserted.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cordless electrical grater of claim 1, wherein the first sub assembly (RD) further comprises:
a pusher that moves vertically with respect to the food holder when the food holder is rotated inside the housing, from a filling position to a top position,
the pusher having a lug,
the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) further comprising a slide switch adapted to be activated at stroke ends of the pusher when the lug of the pusher engages a protrusion of a pull tab inside the driving body to permute polarities of the motor in order to reverse motion and automatically reinitialize the pusher to the filling position.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cordless electrical grater of claim 1 wherein the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) comprises:
a bottom body comprising a planetary gear box;
a driving body comprising
an internal perimeter enclosing the planetary gear box, and
the motor, which transmits power to the planetary gear box situated inside the bottom body.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The cordless electrical grater of claim 2, wherein the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) comprises:
a bottom body comprising a planetary gear box;
a driving body comprising
an internal perimeter enclosing the planetary gear box, and
the motor, which transmits power to the planetary gear box situated inside the bottom body.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The cordless electrical grater of claim 3, wherein the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) comprises:
a bottom body comprising a planetary gear box;
a driving body comprising
an internal perimeter enclosing the planetary gear box, and
the motor, which transmits power to the planetary gear box situated inside the bottom body.

### Claim 7

A cordless electrical grater comprising:
a first sub assembly (RD) comprising:
a grater; and
a turning contact surface, wherein the turning contact surface faces a push switch of a cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) and a vertical pressure transmitted to the push switch electrically powers a motor
wherein the first sub assembly (RD) further comprises:
a housing (CB) adapted to remain static during use of the cordless electrical grater; and
a food holder (HO) adapted to turn inside the housing (CB) with the turning contact surface during use of the cordless electrical grater, and wherein the first sub assembly (RD) is a washable food container
the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) comprising:
the motor,
a battery, and
the push switch faced towards the first sub assembly, so that the motor is electrically powered by the vertical pressure on the first sub assembly transmitted to the push switch;
wherein the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) further comprises:
a bottom body comprising a planetary gear box;
a driving body comprising:
an internal perimeter enclosing the planetary gear box, and
the motor, which transmits power to the planetary gear box situated inside the bottom body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The cordless electrical grater of claim 7, wherein the first sub assembly (RD) further comprises:
a pusher that moves vertically with respect to the food holder when the food holder is rotated inside the housing, from a filling position to a top position,
the pusher having a lug,
the cordless electrical second sub assembly (ED) further comprising a slide switch configured to be activated at the stroke ends of the pusher when the lug of the pusher engages a protrusion of a pull tab inside the driving body to permute polarities of the motor in order to reverse motion and automatically reinitialize the pusher to the filling position.
