US Patent:

8365645, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:

Jul 24, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/556438
Inventors:

Kevin J. Beber - Granger IN, US
John A. Colasanti - Jenison MI, US
Arren J. McCormick - Benton Harbor MI, US
Assignee:

Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:

B26D 1/03
US Classification:

83857
Abstract:

A dicing element assembly comprises a dicing element having multiple elements defining multiple openings through which food may pass and a management tool having multiple projections sized to be received by the dicing openings, with at least some of the projections having a coupling element for releasably coupling the dicing elements when the projections are received within the dicing openings. When the projections are received within the dicing openings, the coupling element couples with the dicing element and a user may move the dicing element by moving the management tool without touching the dicing element.
