Abstract
A cutting guide, and a method for slicing a solid, cuttable workpiece such as vegetables, meat and other items in said cutting guide, comprising a plurality of flights of a coiled material defining an end, a midsection and an opposite end, having an overall length determined by the number and gauge of said flights longitudinally to the major axis of said plurality of flights and any gap there between, that is held in a polymer base having mortises in said polymer base surface, that defines an interior region into which a workpiece may be placed, and an exterior affording access to said interior and any workpiece disposed therein for a knife or other cutting tool, via said gaps between said flights, to enable said workpiece to be cut into or cut through by said knife or cutting tool, transverse to said length or major axis.
Claims13
A cutting guide comprising a plurality of flights of a coiled material defining an end, a midsection and an opposite end, having an overall length determined by the number and gauge of said flights longitudinally to the major axis of said plurality of flights and any gap there between, held in a polymer or wooden base having a plurality of mortises in said polymer or wooden base surface, defined by an interior region into which a workpiece is placed, and an exterior affording access to said interior and any workpiece disposed therein for a cutting tool, placed between said gaps between said flights, to enable said workpiece to be cut through by said cutting tool, transverse to said length or major axis.
A cutting guide comprising at least 2 uniform flights of diameter (from 2 to 10″) flights of a coiled, round stainless steel wire from 0.1-0.25″ diameter, defined by an end, a midsection and an opposite end, having an overall length determined by the number and gauge of said flights longitudinal to the major axis of said plurality of flights and said gap therebetween held in a solid polyolefin base of approximately the overall length and width of said plurality of coils and more than 2 wire diameters thick, having mating mortises in said polymer base surface, defining an interior region into which a workpiece is placed, and an exterior affording access to said interior and any workpiece disposed therein for a cutting tool, placed in said gaps between said flights, to enable said workpiece to be cut through by said cutting tool, transverse to said length or major axis.
