Abstract:
1. A food processing device, comprising: a lid, a first blade set, a second blade set, a first means configured to provide a lateral reciprocal motion to the first blade set, a second means configured to provide a lateral reciprocal motion to the second blade set, wherein the blade sets include an array of substantially parallel blades supported by two supporting frames from opposing sides, wherein all the blades of each blade set include uniform and periodic slots which extend along the transverse direction of the blade and open to the edge of the blade whereby the two blade sets can be configured in a grid or mesh like configuration when brought close to each other to be received in the slots, the lid is pivotally attached to the device for a movement between a first position relatively distant from the blade sets and a second position adjacent to the blade sets, the lid having an array of projections sized and configured to be accommodated between the plurality of blades when the lid is adjacent to the blade sets, the first blade set and the second blade set are configured for the lateral reciprocal movement, the first blade set and second blade set are configured to form a grid or mesh like configuration, the first blade set and second blade set are configured such that the movement of the first blade set and the second blade set are independent, the first blade set is mounted to the first means that is configured to provide the lateral reciprocal motion to the first blade set, and the second blade set is mounted to the second means that is configured to provide the lateral reciprocal motion to the second blade set.
