Abstract
A food cutting utensil, (e.g., a rotary pizza cutter) includes a disc and a handle that are selectively connectable together. The disc has a first side, a second side and a central through bore that is substantially aligned with an axis of the disc. A rim projects from the first side of the disc about the through bore. The handle has a first portion for being gripped by a hand while being used as a cutting utensil, and a second portion for rotatably supporting the disc. The second portion has a first arm and a second arm. The first arm has an axially projecting hub that is received in the through bore when the handle is connected to the disc.
Claims28
A food cutting utensil comprising:
- a disc having a first side, a second side and a central through bore that is substantially aligned with an axis of said disc, a rim projecting from said first side about said through bore;
- and
- a handle having a first portion for being gripped by a hand while being used as a cutting utensil, and a second portion for rotatably supporting said disc, said second portion having a first arm and a second arm, said first arm having an axially projecting hub;
- wherein said disc is selectively connectable with said handle, in a connected position said hub being received within said central through bore.
A food cutting utensil comprising:
- a disc having a first side, a second side and a central through bore that is substantially aligned with an axis of said disc, a rim projecting from said first side about said through bore;
- and
- a handle having a first portion for being gripped by a hand while being used as a cutting utensil, and a second portion for rotatably supporting said disc, said second portion having a first arm and a second arm, said second arm including a first central web having an arcuate free end;
- wherein said disc is selectively connectable with said handle, in a connected position, said arcuate free end providing a bearing supporting surface for said rim.
