This invention has the aim to assist the cutting of the cake (10) pizza or other similar foods (11) through a digital device.
In particular, it is a laser device, battery powered, which shows the cutting path to get equal portions of a cake, pizza or similar foods,
The device has the function to show the cutting path of a cake (10), pizza or similar foods (11), by means of a laser light beam (13), which displays the line through which the knife (12), or other tool pass to cut the portions
In occasion of events, conferences, or whether of a meeting between friends, the food always is involved.
It represents not only a key element for refreshments, but also a perfect moment for socializing with friends, acquaintances and family. It is no longer a simple act of nourishment, but an important moment of sharing and exchange of emotions. When we have to prepare food for a large group of people, often we need to invest a lot of time to prepare in advance delicacies and specialties, and the preparation of foods for many people it is quite laborious.
In these cases, the most convenient solution to quickly prepare and handle a large quantity of food is to prepare slice food such as pizzas, buns, wraps, cakes, pastries, pancakes.
However, in a big banquet, although it is slice food to cut, also the food cutting requires a lot of time and patience. In particular, when we have to cut the food quickly and for many people, it is impossible to obtain equal portions, especially when foods are different for size and shape, and we will never have a perfect result.
The partition into portions, moreover, it is also important for conservation of foods and for planning their consumption.
The partition of a food in equal parts for example, allows us to consume a part and keep the remaining one.
Moreover, it is always difficult to make a previous count of how many portions we need, so that everyone can gets his fair part; so, someone remains without its portion, or a too small or too large slice.
The state of the art includes many items designed for resolution of cutting food. There are many devices on the market for slicing cake, pizza or similar foods: there are mechanical wheel, wire, stampings, paddle, knives, tools, spaced blades, special scissors, and so on.
Until now, the technology doesn't make this field easier, because it focused on other goals and problems. There are many products aimed at the convivial kitchen, used both outside and home, such as home appliances, plates and hobs details, but there's no solution to assist cutting of foods.
In addition, the mechanical cutting pre-existing devices have the restriction of not being able to be adjusted to our needs. There are only pre-formed molds, shape and measures that, although creating proportionate portions, cannot be changed in sizes, shapes and dimensions we need.
The device of this invention is able to slice a food of any size and shape, dividing it into portions of any size and shape, creating a number of portions according to user's need.
An important feature is that the light beam, emitted by one or more lasers (6), on the surface of the cake (10) pizza or similar foods (11), can be changed, so that a path is showed on the surface of the cake (10) pizza or similar foods (11) that indicates the way for cutting the desired shape or the number of equal parts we want to obtain from cake (10) pizza or similar foods (11)
The device is provided with a digital display (1), provided with commands that allow the planning of the number of portions to be created and the shape we want to obtain from cut, checking data on the display
The display (1) is positioned on the small box-shaped support (3), on the side opposite to the rod (8) insertion side, and displays the number of portions we want to get from the cutting path to get equal portions of a cake (10), pizza or similar foods (11)
The device works with battery. The battery (5), included in the small box-shaped support (3), supplies the circuit (4), the laser or the set of lasers (6) and the display (1).
Therefore it doesn't require any power supply, cable or other loading device, because it is sufficient to replace the battery when it is exhausted,
