Title: Die for two-stage food chopper
Claims: I claim: 1. A die for a food chopper, said die comprising a metallic plate having a pair of opposite faces and formed with an array of throughgoing bores of like diameter extending between said faces, one of said faces being formed with at least one elongated groove having a width greater than the diameters of said bores, said food chopper pressing material to be chopped against said one face and having a blade rotated about an axis perpendicular to said face to sweep over said one face, said groove being inclined to said blade during sweeping of said blade over said groove. 2. A die for a food chopper, said die comprising a metallic plate having a pair of opposite faces and formed with an array of throughgoing bores of like diameter extending between said faces, one of said faces being formed with at least one elongated groove having a width greater than the diameters of said bores, said food chopper pressing material to be chopped against said one face and having a blade rotated about an axis perpendicular to said face to sweep over said one face, said groove being inclinded to said blade during sweeping of said blade over said groove, said plate being a disk having a center at the axis of rotation of said blade and said groove being oriented such that said blade advances said material in said groove relative to said axis, said groove being of decreasing depth in the direction of advance of said material therein. 3. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said groove is generally arcuate. 4. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said groove is generally straight. 5. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said groove is tapered toward said axis. 6. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said groove terminates at its shallowest end at one of said throughgoing bores. 7. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said plate is formed on both of said faces with at least one such groove. 8. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said groove is generally arcuate. 9. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said groove is generally straight. 10. The die defined in claim 2 wherein said plate is formed on both of said faces with at least one such groove. 11. The die defined in claim 9 wherein said plate is formed on each of said faces with an array of such grooves. 12. The die defined in claim 10 wherein said plate is formed on each of said faces with an array of such grooves. 13. A die for a food chopper, said die comprising a metallic plate having a pair of opposite faces and formed with an array of throughgoing bores of like diameter extending between said faces, one of said faces being formed with at least one elongated groove having a width greater than the diameters of said bores, said food chopper pressing material to be chopped against said one face and having a blade rotated about an axis perpendicular to said face to sweep over said one face, said groove being inclined to said blade during sweeping of said blade over said groove, said plate being a disk formed with a central hole lying on the axis of rotation of said blade, said groove extending to and opening at said central hole.
