The present invention relates to a manual vegetable cutter, for selectively varied cutting. Furthermore, the cutter of the present invention does not expose the user to risks of serious cuts. The cutter comprises a frame fitted with at least one cutting blade mounted transversely facing a slot through which the cut vegetables pass and also two side rails providing guidance in to and fro translational motion for a guide chamber equipped with a loading volume for the vegetables to be cut up and acting in conjunction with a press-down cap which the user grips in order to move the guide chamber to and fro along the guide rails while constantly exerting pressure on the vegetables contained in the loading volume so that they are pressed against the cutting blade or blades fitted to the frame and can be cut up by the blade or blades.
A safety manual vegetable cutter comprising a frame (1) equipped with at least one cutting blade (9, 9′) fitted transversely facing a slot (12) through which sliced vegetables pass and also two side rails (61, 62) to provide guidance in a to-and-fro translational motion for a guide chamber (2) equipped with a loading volume (17) in the guide chamber (2) for vegetables to be sliced and acting in conjunction with a press-down can (3) designed to be gripped by a user to move the guide chamber (2) to and fro along the guide rails (61, 62) while exerting a constant pressure on the vegetables contained in the loading volume (17) so as to press them against the at least one cutting blade (9, 9′) fitted to the frame 1 and enable them to be sliced by the at least one cutting blade (9, 9′, wherein the press-down cap (3) comprises a hollow ergonomic press-down cap body (18) fitting onto the guide chamber (2) so as to form an assembly integral with the frame (1) in translation and also an extractor (19) consisting of an extractor rod (20) capable of translational motion on the inside of the ergonomic press-down cap body (18) and a first end (21) of which projects from this press-down cap body (18) through a guide opening (24) in it, and also of a plate transmitting feed pressure (22) attached to the second end of the extractor rod (20) so that the vegetables to be sliced are pressed against the at one cutting blade fitted to the frame (1) when the assembly is moved.
