A food holder for a grater or a slicer, having a shaft element into which food that is to be minced can be placed and through which it can be conveyed to a device for mincing foods that can be connected to the holder is characterized in that the shaft element has an elongated cross section.
Claims22
A food holder for a food mincing device including at least one of a grater and a slicer, the food holder comprising a shaft element operable to hold food to be minced,
- wherein the shaft element is operable to convey food therethrough to the food mincing device as the shaft element is moved over the food mincing device along a travel axis,
- wherein the shaft element has a through axis and an elongated cross section,
- wherein an angle of the through axis of the shaft element relative to the travel axis is adjustable, and
- wherein the shaft element includes a long opening width and a short opening width, the long opening width being at an angle relative to the travel axis that substantially differs from zero degrees and ninety degrees.

A device comprising:
- at least one of a food grater and a food slicer;
- and
- a holder including an annular shaft element with a through axis and an elongated cross section, and a placement element operable to establish a sliding connection with the at least one of a food grater and a food slicer,
- wherein the placement element defines a base plane,
- wherein the shaft element is operable to hold food and convey the food therethrough to the at least one of a food grater and a food slicer as the holder is moved over the at least one of a grater and slicer along a travel axis,
- wherein the elongated cross section of the annular shaft element includes a long opening width and a short opening width, the long opening width being at an angle relative to the travel axis that substantially differs from zero and 90 degrees, and
- wherein an angle of the through axis of the shaft element relative to the base plane substantially differs from 90 degrees.
