ABSTRACT:
A rounded food article, such as a tomato or potato, is quickly 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 fingers depending from a plunger to which a handle is attached. The plunger assembly slides over a pair of vertical guides 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 plunger includes obstructing tabs in the event both vertical rods are not properly engaged in the plunger, such that the plunger is angularly displaced and the fingers strike the base rather than the blades or spike. Four legs give the device a steady foundation and raise the base sufficiently from the table to allow the long food sections to be freely discharged onto it.
