Hand held cheese slicer - has two parallel adjustable guide rollers to position cutting wire

摘要

The cutter has a handle (4) and a transverse guide roller (1). At a short distance from this is a parallel cutting wire (2) enabling slices to be cut of a thickness corresponding to the distance between the guide roller periphery and cutting wire. A second guide roller (3) parallel to the first, retains the cheese to be cut, at the required distance. The rollers are rotatable in circular side mountings, With the aid of a plate (13) the spindle (10) can be turned to engage in one of several holes (15), thus altering the eccentricity of the guide roller axis w.r.t. the cutting wire. This enables the user to cut cheese slices of various thickness.
