[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of kitchen utensils for cutting foods also known as mandolin. The present invention relates in particular to a mandolin adopting an inverted configuration that is to say where the blade moves relative to the vegetable. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART A mandolin is a kitchen utensil used to cut food and more particularly raw vegetables slices more or less thick.
[0002] This vegetable cutter in general manual conventionally comprises a blade associated with a moving surface of the vegetable which moved back and forth on said surface and maintained in support of the latter by the user, is gradually cut. There is also an inverted configuration where the support of the blade is displaced relative to the vegetable which is supported on said support. An example of such a configuration is described in WO2012 / 097214. This document describes a hand operated slicer incorporating a casing, base and reciprocating blade assembly. The housing has an upper portion, opposed side sides, a food holding chamber, and a passageway extending in the extension of the chamber between the lateral sides, aligned with a cutting plane. The base is coupled to the housing and configured to prevent the housing from moving during the cutting operation. The alternative blade assembly is slidably engaged in the housing passage and supports a blade that moves through or adjacent the food holding chamber as the assembly reciprocates. to cut a food into the chamber. The blade assembly may be adjustable to change the thickness of the cut and may be convertible to create French fries, julienne cuts or the like.
[0003] This configuration has several disadvantages, among these: the housing has a complex shape difficult to manufacture ensuring the guiding in translation of the blade assembly as well as that along a perpendicular axis of the support means on the vegetable, said housing is not associated with a container because it is associated with a base formed of folding elements constituting anti-slip feet for the housing, - the chamber and the support means on the vegetable do not adapt to the cutout longitudinal or transverse or the shape of the vegetable, - the blade assembly can not be used as a conventional non-inverted mandolin. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The Applicant has conducted research on an alternative inverted configuration mandolin overcoming the disadvantages noted. According to the invention, the mandolin food cutting device is of the type comprising a movable blade support defining a cutting plane and moving in reciprocating motion relative to the food according to a configuration. reversed. This device is remarkable in that it comprises a container with an opening equipped with flanges providing sliding surfaces for said movable blade support, a lid which, independent of the container, comes to close it by cooperating with said flanges and maintaining said movable blade support in contact with the sliding surfaces, said cover being preformed with a passage which, transverse to the stroke of the movable blade support, accommodates a sheath 30 associated with a pusher allowing the introduction of food and their maintenance on the path of passage of the movable blade support. This device is particularly advantageous in that it includes in its design a cut food storage module which will itself serve to support the reciprocating movement of the blade support. In addition, the independence of the container and its lid will allow easy release of the blade holder which can be used as a conventional mandolin. In addition, the cover assembly and movable blade support can be used separately from the tray. Similarly, this separation will facilitate the cleaning of the various constituent elements.
[0004] Another advantage lies in the ease of manufacture of simpler separate volumes. Indeed, by using the rim of the container as a sliding surface, the device of the invention distributes part of the implementation of the guide function on several elements which facilitates the manufacture including plastic molding. Thus, according to another particularly advantageous feature, said flanges and cover are preformed so that said cover fits between the flanges and comes to provide longitudinal vertical guide surfaces to said movable blade support. The distribution between horizontal sliding surfaces preformed on the container and longitudinal vertical guide surfaces preformed on the cover makes it possible to transmit the strong constraints related to the thrust on the food (and therefore on the movable blade support) during cutting. , to the most massive element. Another characteristic contributing to good guidance is that the longitudinal edges of said movable support are provided with co-operating projections for guiding and retaining purposes with longitudinal grooves formed in the underside of the cover. The simplification of the manufacturing thus allows the realization of optimized guidance. Some particularly advantageous features of this device reside in the design of the means for receiving and bringing the food into contact with the blade support. Thus, according to a particularly advantageous characteristic, said food pusher slides in the sheath and decomposes in two: the first pusher which, sliding in direct contact with the sheath, is preformed with a feed chute; 35 smaller, - a second pusher sliding in said chute. This possibility of having a pusher adapted to the size of the food is particularly advantageous for the use of the device and to obtain a good cutting result. This second pusher is designed to retract into the first avoiding any projection of volume. In addition, according to another particularly advantageous feature of the invention, said sheath has an oblong profile and is preformed to cooperate with said cover to allow several positions of the sheath with respect to said cover. This feature will allow the user to position the food in the most efficient position relative to the blade holder and facing the desired type of cut. More specifically, the sheath has a cylindrical base cooperating with a cylindrical cavity preformed in the cover to provide these possibilities of orientation. According to another particularly advantageous feature, said movable blade support comprises at one end a preformed handle in its extension and facilitating its movement. According to another characteristic, it is equipped to receive a detachable handle disposed in a plane perpendicular to the cutting plane. Such an arrangement for a handle is particularly suitable for reciprocating in a horizontal translation. In addition, according to another feature, said movable blade support is preformed to detachably accommodate one or more interchangeable cutting tools which provides the user with all the cutting possibilities. Similarly, the cutting tool comprises at least one blade associated with a support frame whose cooperation with the movable blade support allows a plurality of cutting thickness. According to one feature, the cutting tool comprises a blade associated with a support frame comprising bearing flanges cooperating with notches in the movable blade support. The cutting tool has also been the subject of particular attention by the applicant in adapting it to the proposed inverted configuration. Indeed, in order to exploit the fact that the blade support will perform a translational movement back and forth under the food to be cut, the device of the invention is remarkable in that the cutting tool has a blade with at least two cutting edges arranged symmetrically with respect to each other, the first being active in one direction and the second active in the other direction of translation of the blade support. Such a characteristic makes it possible to work twice as fast for certain types of cutting. According to another characteristic, the cutting tool has a blade with a cutting edge having a sawtooth profile which facilitates the cutting of vegetables such as tomatoes and onions. According to another characteristic, said blade is equipped on its underside with a deflector disposed transversely with respect to the axis of displacement of the movable support and consisting of a downward projection providing downwardly guiding surfaces for the foodstuffs. of their cut. According to one embodiment, this projection adopts a substantially V-shaped profile. The branches of / orient down the cut portions of the foodstuffs and assist in their detachment. In order to have in the proximity of the device the various utensils that may be necessary, the device comprises an additional container which proposes a utensil storage space and which cooperates with the container underside so that it can be inserted between the container. container and work surface on which the device is supported. According to a preferred embodiment, the mobile support, lid and tray are made of plastic and the blades of the cutting tool are made of stainless steel. Since the basic concepts of the invention have been set forth above in their most basic form, other details and features will become more apparent upon reading the description which follows and with reference to the accompanying drawings, given by way of example. non-limiting example, an embodiment of a device according to the invention.
