Slicing apparatus and method of use thereof

摘要

A slicing apparatus comprises a housing and at least one filament with a first and second end. The at least one filament is pullable by a user. The housing is defined by perimeter walls and has a bottom with an opening, a top, and a vertical member. The vertical member has a longitudinal axis and extends from the top of the housing towards the bottom. The at least one filament mechanically connects to the vertical member and the remainder of it passes through the perimeter walls. Once passed through, the second end of the at least one filament terminates external to the housing. With the second end of the at least one filament now external to the housing, the user can move the at least one filament. When the at least one filament is moved by a user, the at least one filament may effect slices into a volume of matter.

1. A slicing apparatus, comprising:
at least one filament with a first end and a second end, wherein the at least one filament is configured to be pulled by a user; a housing defined by perimeter walls, comprising a bottom with an opening; a top; and a vertical member with a longitudinal axis, wherein the vertical member extends from the top of the housing towards the bottom; wherein the first end of the at least one filament is mechanically connected to the vertical member; wherein the at least one filament extends through the perimeter walls and the second end of the at least one filament terminates external to the housing; and wherein the at least one filament is rotatable with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vertical member; wherein the housing is bored out; wherein the bottom of the housing further comprises an upper alignment aperture disposed on the bottom of the housing, wherein the apparatus further comprises: a button comprising a filament edge, a hinge edge, an upper alignment member and a lower alignment member, wherein the upper alignment member is configured to mate with the upper alignment aperture of the housing, and wherein the button hingedly connects to the housing at the opening along its hinge edge; and a bottom cover configured to close the opening of the bottom of the housing, wherein the bottom cover comprises a lower alignment aperture, and wherein the lower alignment member of the button is configured to mate with the lower alignment aperture of the bottom cover; wherein the second end of the at least one filament passes between the perimeter walls of the housing and the filament edge of the button.
