ABSTRACT:
A rounded food article, such as a lemon, tomato or apple, is instantaneously divided into a number of radial sections by forcing it through a conical cup of radial blades within which it is impaled on a central spike to which the central ends of the blades are joined. The article is forced through the wedge-shaped spaces between the blades by an annular array of bent rod fingers depending from a head to which an operating handle is attached. The plunger assembly slides over a pair of vertical rods towards the blade assembly engaged within a recess in the base. The fingers extend completely through the blades when the plunger is fully engaged within the blades. The substantial weight of the plunger facilitates its rapid downward movement toward the blade, and a set of three legs raise the base sufficiently from the table to allow the food sections to be freely discharged onto it.
