The object is achieved by a device for comminuting food of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that the device has at least one comminution tool in the manner of a Anspitzers.

The invention has the very particular advantage that foodstuffs to be minced, such as carrots, radishes or cucumbers, can be cut into spiral garlands that are particularly suitable for decorating a meal, such as a salad dressing. As will be explained in more detail below, the device according to the invention can be advantageously designed as a lid for a vessel or even have a vessel that collects the crushed by pressing through the cutting grid food. After the comminution process, it is in particular possible to leave the comminuted foodstuffs in the vessel and, in addition, to produce helical garlands in the manner of a sharpener with the aid of the comminuting tool, which garlands are also collected in the vessel. In this way, in the vessel a food preparation, consisting of, preferably different, crushed pieces of food, which rest on top of the ornate spiral garlands. Advantageously, the decorated food preparation can also be served in the vessel, preferably after the device has been removed for comminution.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the comminution tool can be inserted into the receptacle in the manner of a sharpener, in particular instead of the cutting part. Such a design has the particular advantage that the user can quickly and efficiently convert the device after a crushing operation, in which food was pressed by the cutting part by means of the actuating part, for generating spiral-shaped garlands. In this case, it can be advantageously provided that the comminution tool can be inserted into the receptacle with a precise fit and / or latching. In this way it is ensured that the crushing tool is securely held in its working position.

The comminution tool can advantageously have a holding plate which has the same outer contour in terms of shape and size as the cutting part. This advantageously achieves that either the cutting part or the crushing tool without much effort and without the need for additional fixation components, safe and reliable in the recording of the base part can be set.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the crushing tool has a holding plate into which optionally at least one of a plurality of different cutting inserts can be inserted. In particular, it can be advantageously provided that each cutting insert has a, in particular conical, receiving space for the introduction of foodstuff, on the wall of which a cutting blade is arranged in each case. and / or that each cutting insert in each case has a, in particular conical, receiving space for introducing foodstuff in which the food item is rotatable. The cutting inserts may differ, in particular, in terms of their shape and / or size and / or thickness and / or width of the helical garlands which can be cut with them and / or with respect to the number of spiral garlands simultaneously formed during a cutting operation.

In a particular embodiment, the device has an insert which can be inserted into the receptacle, in particular with a precise fit and / or locking, and which has both the cutting part and the comminuting tool. Such a design has the particular advantage that the device does not have to be rebuilt if after a crushing operation in which the cutting part was used, then spiral garlands to be cut; or vice versa, if after cutting spiral garlands crushing using the cutting part should be done.

In a completely different embodiment, the actuating part on the crushing tool. This can in particular be arranged such that it is preferably used when the actuating part is closed, that is, when the actuating part is pivoted against the cutting part. If helical garlands are now cut with the aid of the comminution tool, they can, for example, fall into a vessel through the receptacle into which no cutting part has been inserted for this cutting process. It is alternatively also possible for the base part to have a separate passage opening in addition to the receptacle for this purpose. In such an embodiment, the cutting part may remain in the receptacle when cutting spiral garlands.

The comminution tool can advantageously be constructed in such a way that it has a, in particular conical, receiving space for introducing foodstuffs, such as a carrot, a radish, a cucumber or a zucchini, on whose wall a cutting blade is arranged. Alternatively or additionally, it may also be provided that the comminuting tool has a, in particular conical, receiving space for Introducing Lebensmufelguf, in which the food is rotatable. In addition, the wall of the receiving space has an opening through which the spiral-shaped garland can emerge from the receiving space. Preferably, the cutting blade is arranged such that in a rotational movement - similar to the pencil sharpening - end of a rotating spiral from the rotating food is separated. For this purpose, the cutting edge of the cutting blade can be arranged such that it protrudes into the receiving space, wherein the parallel distance of the cutting blade to the receiving space wall determines the thickness of the separated layer.

According to an independent inventive concept with respect to the comminuting tool in the manner of a sharpener, which can also be achieved detached from a device for comminuting foodstuffs with a base part and an actuating part, layers of different thicknesses can be separated depending on the direction of rotation. Such a device has the very special advantage that the user can decide individually whether he wants to cut the food into thin or thick spiral garlands. On the other hand, such a design has the particular advantage that particularly brittle or delicate foods, where the garlands tend to break when cut too thin, can alternatively be cut into thicker spiral garlands. Conversely, foods unsuitable for cutting into thick spiral garlands can optionally be cut into thin spiral garlands. In short: Such an embodiment makes it possible in particular to adapt the cutting thickness to the respective food.

In particular, it can be advantageously provided that the comminuting tool separates a layer of a first thickness from a foodstuff rotating in the receiving space in a clockwise direction, and that the comminution tool from a foodstuff rotating counterclockwise in the receiving space has a layer of a second thickness which is of the first thickness is different, separates. The cutting into helical garlands with different layer thicknesses, in particular as a function of the direction of rotation, can be realized, for example, by the use of a pendulum blade which has two cutting edges. In this case, it can be provided, in particular, that one cutting edge serves for cutting into thin spiral-shaped garlands, while the other cutting edge serves for cutting into thick spiral-shaped garlands.

In particular, the pendulum blade may, for example, be arranged in such a way that, with respect to the first cutting edge, a first distance to the wall of the receiving space is set in a clockwise rotation of the foodstuff, while during a rotation of the It is counterclockwise to set a second distance of the second cutting edge to the receiving space, the first distance being different from the second distance. In particular, the cutting blades may be oriented in opposite directions parallel to each other and / or with respect to the orientation of the blades. In an advantageous embodiment, the pendulum blade is suspended in such a way that upon rotation of the foodstuff in the clockwise direction, the first cutting edge automatically rotates into the receiving space, while the second cutting edge is rotated out of the receiving space, and vice versa during a rotation of the foodstuff in a counterclockwise direction automatically rotates the second cutting edge into the receiving space while the first cutting edge is being removed from the receiving space.

In an advantageous manner, it can also be provided, in particular, that the comminuting tool has a pendulum blade with two cutting edges, one of which-in particular automatically-cuts one each into the foodstuff as a function of the direction of rotation of the foodstuff to be comminuted.

In a particular embodiment, the crushing tool is adapted to simultaneously separate a plurality of spiral garlands from a food item. In this way, vegetables can be advantageously cut into vegetable noodles, for example zucchini noodles. In particular, the comminuting tool can have a cutting device which divides the layer to be separated or the layer already separated into a plurality of mutually parallel strips. Alternatively or additionally, it may also be provided that the comminution tool has a cutting blade which separates a layer from the material to be cut, and a cutting device which has further cutting blades arranged vertically to the cutting blade. The further cutting blades can serve to divide the layer to be separated or the already separated layer into a plurality of mutually parallel strips.

The device for comminuting foodstuffs can have exactly one comminuting type of comminuting tool. However, it is quite advantageously possible that the device has a further comminution tool in the manner of a sharpener or a plurality of further comminution tools each in the manner of a sharpener. In particular, it can advantageously be provided that the further comminuting tool has a different size than the comminuting tool, and / or that the receiving space of the further comminuting tool has a different wedge angle than the receiving space of the comminution tool. In this way it is possible to optionally cut differently shaped spiral garlands.
