Rotary Grater

A rotary grater, comprising:

• a grater body, the grater body including a cutter housing portion, a hopper portion connected to the cutter housing portion, and a body arm portion extending outwardly from the hopper portion, the hopper portion of the grater body being configured to hold a workpiece for grating;
• a rotatable cutting device, the rotatable cutting device configured to be rotatably disposed inside the cutter housing portion of the grater body, the rotatable cutting device comprising a plurality of blade members for grating the workpiece;
• a rotary input device coupled to the rotatable cutting device, the rotary input device configured to rotate the rotatable cutting device;
• a grater plunger, the grater plunger including a plunger arm portion connected to a plunger head portion, the plunger arm portion having a first arm end and a second arm end, the second arm end of the plunger arm portion being oppositely disposed relative to the first arm end, the first arm end of the plunger arm portion being pivotably coupled to a distal end of the body arm portion, and the second arm end of the plunger arm portion being connected to the plunger head portion, the plunger head portion configured to compress the workpiece in the hopper portion during the grating of the workpiece;
• and
• a lever device pivotably coupled to the body arm portion, the lever device having a first lever end portion and a second lever end portion, the second lever end portion of the lever device being oppositely disposed relative to the first lever end portion, the first lever end portion of the lever device configured to receive an input force applied by a user, and the second lever end portion of the lever device configured to apply an output force against the plunger arm portion so as to facilitate a compressing of the workpiece between the plunger head portion and the rotatable cutting device during the grating of the workpiece.
