Abstract
A vegetable chopper in the form of a frame on which a knife blade is fitted to a lower end of a vertical member slidably mounted on the frame. A lever arm, pivotably mounted to the frame is shaped with a slot in which a pin, fixed to the slidable vertical member travels. Manual pivoting of the lever causes the vertical member to move in a linear direction to cause the knife blade to reciprocate with regard to a chopping box, mounted on the base of the frame.

A vegetable chopper, comprising
- A frame formed of a upright member fixed to a base and to a pair of spaced parallel arms,
- A rod slidably mounted to said parallel arms and extending beyond both arms,
- a knife blade fixed to one end of the said rod,
- a lever pivotably mounted to said upright member of the frame,
- said lever linked by slotted means to said rod,
- said slotted means comprising a curved slot in the lever, in which slot extends a pin fixed to the said rod, so that pivotal travel of the lever causes said rod to travel in non-uniform relation to the travel of the lever.
