the like.
I, THOMAS ROSS WATSON, of 59 Union Grove, Aberdeen, N.B., Photographer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined slicer and grater which
consists in affixing to one end of the grater a slicer consisting of one or more
cutting edges so that by pressing the same upon the object to be sliced, such as
fruit or vegetables, the slicing of the same is readily effected.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures inarked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a plan of the bottom of the grater and the blades for slicing.
Fig. 2, is a vertical section of the apparatus.
Fig. 3, is a view of the blades before they are fixed inside the base of the grater.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct of thin tin or any other
suitable metallic substance a cylindrical grater g this said grater is provided with
fine indents or holes e on one part of the circumference and coarse indents or
holes fon the other part producing a rough outer surface, for the purpose of rubbing
off small particles of a body. At the top of the grater g I turn the metal into a
bead and fix a ring d thereto so that the grater and slicer may be hung up on a
hook or nail.
Also I construct of thin tin a ring b with eight blades c as in Fig. 3, and fix
the saine in the inside of the base a or bottom of the grater g as in Figs. 1, and 2,
for the purpose of slicing any soft foods. The blades c and ring & being constructed
D

page_text: of thin tin becomes a sharp cutting group of blades for the purpose above
mentioned. The whole of the apparatus is soldered together as in the case with
ordinary tin ware.
If preferable the grater and slicer may be made any size or shape and with any
number of blades; also any shaped handle may be provided and fixed on to the
apparatus.
The apparatus may be used for objects as follows:-
1. Slicing fruits and vegetables.
2. Coring and slicing of apples and pears.
3. Stamping out fancy pastry.
4. Grating bread or biscuits, fruits or vegetables.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a grater and slicer, the combination of the grater y fine indents or holes e
coarse indents or holes f ring d with the cutting ring b and blades c, substantially
as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In a grater and slicer, the combination of the various parts substantially as above
described in this specification for the purpose specified.
Dated this 16th day of December 1896.
