Abstract
Abstract A device for grating cheese and the like is described. The device consists of a cylindrical housing containing a grating plate. Inserted into the housing above the grating plate is a rotatable cylindrical body divided by a vertical partition which serves to turn the substance to be grated in contact with the plate. A pusher element inserted in the cylindrical body drives the partition by means of slots into which the partition is engaged.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A device for grating cheese and the like comprising a first cylindrical body forming a housing, a grating plate disposed therein, a second cylindrical body open at both ends and coaxially inserted into said housing, said second body acting as a driver element and overlying said grating plate, transverse partition means connected within said second body for turning the substance to be grated in contact with said grating plate, and a pusher element coaxially received downwardly and into said second body and having means for engaging said partition means for rotating said second body upon rotational movement imparted to said pusher element.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
102 words
A device for grating cheese and the like comprising a first cylindrical body forming a housing, a grating plate disposed therein, a second cylindrical body open at both ends and coaxially inserted into said housing, said second body acting as a driver element and overlying said grating plate, transverse partition means connected within said second body for turning the substance to be grated in contact with said grating plate, and a pusher element coaxially received downwardly and into said second body and having means for engaging said partition means for rotating said second body upon rotational movement imparted to said pusher element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said partition means is a vertical blade connected to an inner wall of said second cylindrical body and in which said pusher element has vertically disposed slot means for receiving said vertical blade therein upon downward movement of said pusher element within said second cylinder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said partition means consists of one or more fins connected to an inner wall of said second cylindrical body, and in which said pusher element comprises slot means for receiving said one or more fins upon downward movement of said pusher element within said second chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
155 words
A grating device comprising a grating plate, a first cylindrical member having said grating plate mounted transversely therewithin, means for fixing said grating plate against rotation with respect to said first cylinder, a second cylindrical member open at both ends and slideably received within said first cylindrical member for rotation therewith, means for supporting said second cylindrical member above said grating plate, partition means connected to the inner surface of said second cylindrical member for rotation therewith and for receiving a substance to be grated therebetween, and a pusher element having a lower circular transverse plate received downwardly and coaxially in said second cylindrical member for bearing against the substance to be grated, said transverse plate having slot means therein for receiving said partition means upon axial downward movement of said pusher element within said second cylindrical member, wherein said second cylindrical member and partition means rotate upon rotational movement imparted to said pusher element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
155 words
A grating device comprising a grating plate, a first cylindrical member having said grating plate mounted transversely therewithin, means for fixing said grating plate against rotation with respect to said first cylinder, a second cylindrical member open at both ends and slideably received within said first cylindrical member for rotation therewith, means for supporting said second cylindrical member above said grating plate, partition means connected to the inner surface of said second cylindrical member for rotation therewith and for receiving a substance to be grated therebetween, and a pusher element having a lower circular transverse plate received downwardly and coaxially in said second cylindrical member for bearing against the substance to be grated, said transverse plate having slot means therein for receiving said partition means upon axial downward movement of said pusher element within said second cylindrical member, wherein said second cylindrical member and partition means rotate upon rotational movement imparted to said pusher element.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
107 words
A grating device as set forth in claim 4 in which said partition means comprises a vertically disposed blade connected diametrically at its side edges to the inner surface of said second cylindrical member, and further comprising a depending shaft fixedly connected at the center of the lower edge of said blade, said grating plate having a central opening therein for receiving said shaft therethrough, said shaft having a transverse aperture therein, and a pin removably received through said shaft aperture for engaging the underside of said grating plate to scrape the underside of said grating plate upon rotation of said second cylindrical member and vertical blade.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
82 words
A grating device as set forth in claim 4, in which said first cylindrical member hAs an inwardly projecting circumferential flange connected to its inner surface at a lower portion thereof for supporting said grating plate, and in which said means for fixing said grating plate against rotational movement with respect to said first cylindrical member comprises a plurality of upward projections on said circumferential flange, and a corresponding plurality of peripheral notches in said grating plate for receiving said projections therein.
