1022.034 S P E C I F I C A T I O N JULIENNE CUTTER FOR FOOD PROCESSORS INVENTOR: KOICHIRO SHIBATA ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A julienne rotary cutter tool is provided for use in food processors of the type having a working bowl with tool drive means extending into the bowl for rotating the tool in the bowl and a removable cover for closing the bowl when in use with a feed passageway through the cover for introducing food material into the bowl. The julienne cutter has a hub removably engageable with the drive means and a disc-like member secured to the hub. The disc-like member has an opening extending from a region near the hub to a region near the periphery and there is an elevated portion on the member located behind the opening with respect to the direction of rotation of the disc-like member. A cutting structure is positioned in the opening for producing multiple closely spaced cuts in food items applied thereto which pass through the opening into the bowl. In accordance with the present invention, a unitary cutting structure formed of sheet metal having an elongated lower portion and an elevated elongated upper portion are secured to the underside and to the elevated portion of the disc-like member, respectively. A plurality of relatively closely spaced blades extend upwardly generally perpendicular to and are located between and are integral with the elongated lower and elevated upper portions of the cutting structure. These blades are sharpened on their leading cutting edges and are formed with the sharpened leading edges of the elevated elongated portion facing forward in the direction of the rotation of the disc for simultaneously produc- ing horizontal and vertical cuts in food items applied thereto for forming clean, crisp, neat julienne strips. The integral blades in this cutting structure are formed by slitting a sheet of blade metal in a diagonal fashion and then bending the strips formed between the slits perpendicular to the plane of the resulting elongated lower and elevated upper portions of the sheet metal. Advantageously, this unitary cutting structure in which the blades are integral with the lower and elevated portions secured to the disc member provides a simple, rugged structure which can withstand the forces applied thereto through repeated uses and which produces clean, crisp, neat and relatively uniform julienne strips and similar types of strips. -2-
