Abstract:
A wedger includes a housing and a plunger. The housing includes an interior blade assembly and handles extending laterally away from the housing. The plunger and housing cooperate to enable the plunger to push a food item through the blade assembly and the housing. The inclusion of the handles makes the wedger invertible, so that the housing may be pushed downward toward the plunger by grasping the handles.

Claim (Index 1):
A wedger, comprising:\n a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, the housing defining a central axis from the upper portion to the lower portion and forming a tube having an upper opening and a lower opening; a pair of handles extending laterally away from the housing at a location between the upper portion and the lower portion; a blade assembly positioned within the housing and supported by the housing between the upper portion and the lower portion, the blade assembly including a plurality of blades dividing the interior space within the housing into a plurality of sections; a housing guide positioned on the housing; a plunger having an upper end terminating in an abutment and a lower end terminating in a plurality of feet, the plurality of feet being configured to be received within the plurality of sections when the plunger moves axially in a direction from the upper portion of the housing toward the lower portion of the housing; a plunger guide positioned on the plunger, wherein, when the plunger is inserted into the housing, the plunger guide engages the housing guide to prevent rotational movement of the plunger with respect to the housing when the plunger moves axially into the housing; whereby when a food item is inserted into the housing, movement of the plunger axially in a direction from the upper portion toward the lower portion will push the food item through the blade assembly and out the lower portion of the housing.
