摘要

The invention relates to a device for chopping garlic, comprising a housing body which on its bottom side has a knife (8), and an upper part (2) to which a punch (12) is connected. During operations said punch rotates in relation to the housing body (6) and carries out an axial movement against a co-rotating cutting grid (5b). An inner body for receiving the garlic is mounted in the housing body (6) in a rotating manner and presents a cutting grid (5b). The punch (12) is mounted on a spindle (4) and penetrates into said inner body. The invention also provides means which when the device is operational ensure contact with the spindle (4) and in the open position allow for the spindle (4) to be displaced laterally.
