Als genereller Nachteil des beschriebenen Stands der Technik ist es, dass die Aufnahmen für die zu zerteilende Frucht nicht .ausreichend ausgebildet sind,, so dass beim Druckvorgang beispielsweise einer weicheren Frucht diese deformiert wird, wodurch eine Zerkleinerung in 'glatte Stücke zumindest erschwert wird, so dass die entstandenen Scheiben oder Würfel 'entweder an der Schale ausreißen, unansehnlich aussehen und damit unbrauchbar für den appetitlichen Verzehr werden. Unabhängig davon können derartige Fruchtstücke die Zwischenräume der Schneidwerkzeuge verstopfen oder sich darin verklemmen, so dass der weitere Gebrauch der Vorrichtung unmöglich wird. Erfolgt der Schneidvorgang, wie allgemein üblich, mit einem Messer von Hand, so ist ein genauer Schneidvorgang notwendig, der einerseits in der Eile des Geschäfts und mit großem Zeitaufwand eine erhöhte Verletzungsgefahr darstellt.A general disadvantage of the described prior art is that the receptacles for the fruit to be cut are not sufficiently designed, so that during the printing process, for example, a softer fruit is deformed, which at least makes it more difficult to break it down into smooth pieces that the resulting slices or cubes ' either tear out on the skin, look unsightly and are therefore unusable for appetizing consumption. Regardless of this, such pieces of fruit can clog or jam the spaces between the cutting tools, so that further use of the device becomes impossible. If, as is generally customary, the cutting process is carried out by hand with a knife, a precise cutting process is necessary which, on the one hand, represents an increased risk of injury in the hurry of the business and with a great deal of time.
