<p>A flower stem cutter unit includes a small decanter sufficient to cover the lower end of a flower stem projecting into the decanter. A guillotine blade unit (12) is secured to a cover (7) and projects into the decanter. A guide wall projects inwardly from a cover opening and terminates in a vertical fixed blade support wall (27) having a flat cutting blade (11) secured thereto. The wall and blade have an opening (28) to receive the stem (2). The movable blade (13) unit has a supporting stem (14) extending through said cover and an integral vertical blade support abutting said fixed blade (11). A guillotine blade (18) is fixed to the inner face of the vertical blade support to form an integrated unit (12). The blade end is secured in angular relationship to the fixed blade (11) and moves progressively over the cutting edge (19) of the fixed blade. A finger gripping tab (36A) projects outwardly from the movable blade support for periodic replacement of the movable blade unit. A removable guard unit (20) is releasably secured to the fixed blade support and is located in outwardly spaced relation to the fixed blade and the movable blade of the unit. The guard unit includes a bottom lip (27) projecting toward the support to enclose the blade unit. The lip also locates the stem end for cutting.</p> |
