Title:
INVOLUTE SLICER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/023131
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide an involute slicer having a body portion and a blade coupled to the body. The involute slicer may further include an anvil to provide structural support to a workpiece. The blade may rotate about an axis. As the blade rotates, the blade may pass next to the anvil, thereby cutting the workpiece. The blade may include a cutting edge with a radius that increases from a proximal end to a distal end of the cutting edge. For example, the cutting edge may have an involute shape. The involute shape of the cutting edge provides a radially expanding cutting edge as the blade is rotated. In some embodiments, the blade may include a plurality of cutting edges, such as two cutting edges.
