To increase the versatility of a household food grater, in which grating inserts can be inserted into a plate-like body formed with an opening, a slicing insert is provided, fitting into the opening. The slicing insert has a frame and a guide path (10) hinged to the frame, and moveable with respect thereto. The frame also carries a knife blade (14). A lever (15) projecting laterally from the frame, adjusts the position of a cutting gap between the knife (14) and the guide path (10) to control the thickness of slices being made, the lever engaging a camming surface of the guide path from beneath the surface on which food is being fed to the knife blade. Adjustment is by interengaging teeth and saw tooth-like depressions, for step-wise adjustment.

A tool handle (3) in which a handle part (5) is made from a material with a Shore hardness of at least 70 and a thumb and/or finger rests (6, 8) which is integral with the handle part (5) is made from a material having a Shore hardness of no more than 60. The thumb and/or finger rests (6, 8) are molecularly bonded, or integrated into the handle part (5) by a two-component molding process.

In a sweeper having a housing 1, in which a sweeping roller 6 driven by impeller wheels 4, 5 is rotatably supported, the sweeping roller comprising a shaft 15 with longitudinally extending sweeping strips 17, the sweeping strips 17 being comprised of a flexible leatherlike plastic material. The sweeping strips 17 are integral with a tube 16 that is slid over onto the shaft 15. Alternatively, the shaft and sweeping strips can be integrally molded as a single part by a two component extrusion process such that the sweeping strips are flexible and the shaft is rigid.

A spice container assembly includes a removable closure body for a spice container that is detachably secured to a stationary tubular holder. The spice container in turn, is held by the closure body via a magnet, to facilitate one-handed removal of a unit comprising the spice container and the closure body from the holder. The spice container is retained in or on the closure body by a magnetic force which is used to seal the spice container.

To facilitate manufacture and eliminate the possibility of sharp corners projecting from metallic elements of a can opener, a bearing bushing (21) for a feed wheel shaft (20), to which a serrated feed wheel (15) and a twist knob (16) are connected, the handle is formed of two plastic handle shells (18, 19) of which an upper handle shell (18) is a unitary molded element together with the bearing bushing (21) and a counter or guide surface (24) in part surrounding the feed wheel. The bearing bushing extends through a hole in the metallic lever (11, 12) and into an opening of the lower handle shell (19), preferably forming a snap connection, with a slightly projecting shoulder, extending above the lower handle shell.

Combination multiple roll holder and cutter

A refillable dispenser for web materials has a housing 1 and a snap-fitted cover 2. A slidable cutter 3 rides in a slit 25 of cover 2. A vertical cutting support surface 11 is formed as an integral extension of a horizontal roll support plate 9. Baseplates 9 may also be integrally formed with back wall 8 of housing 1. The junction of plate 9 and cutting surface 11 define with the adjacent edge of cover 2 a dispensing slot 14, so replacement of rolls 17 is facilitated and threading of web material is simplified. A cooperating lip 18 and recess 19 on surface 11 facilitate grasping the end of the web, and a labyrinthine web path 20 defined by ribs 15, 16 prevents retraction of web material, particularly clingly plastic wrap, back onto the roll after cutting. A leaf spring 29 inside cover 2 urges a disk-shaped blade 23 into a slot 24 of surface 11 while a housing surrounding the blade protects the user.
