摘要

Sanitary processing of fruits and vegetables is assured by cutting a fruit or vegetable steadily held in position into pieces that are then dropped directly onto a dish or other receiver. A cutter assembly 2 steadily held by a base frame is easy to disassemble, and reassemble, for washing and other purposes. The cutter assembly 2 having radially disposed blades 21 fastened to a holding frame 22 is mounted on a base frame 1, with a receiving space 10 provided below. Two guide rods 3 are erected on the base frame to hold a vertically slidable press-down member 4 having a concave pressing surface 42 facing the blades 21. The cutter assembly 2 comprises a holding frame 22 holding the radial blades 21 disposed inward and a projecting cone 23 to fit or stick in the fruit or vegetable to be cut at the center of the blades 21. The holding frame 22 is made up of component members whose lugs 24b are fitted in positioning grooves 15 cut in the base frame 1.
