A, Fig. 1, represents a cylindrically-shaped box with cover B on the top, and at the bottom are attached two pieces of sheet metal a a. These are soldered at one end and the loose end bent to conform to the curvature of the box and are for feet to enable the box to stand horizontally when required to be used as a grater, slicer, or mouse-trap. These feet are made to lie close to the box when in an upright position, as in Fig. These openings may be of any form or size, with a part or a whole of the edge turned outwardly to form a rough and cutting surface suitable for the operation of grating. A are cut a series of parallel slots or openings D, about one-sixteenth of an inch wide and two inches long and having one edge b, turned up or outward on the margin of each slot to form a cutting edge for the purpose of slicing vegetables.
