Abstract

A prepping tool according to the claimed invention comprises an arm assembly having a first end and a second end, a handle base rotationally coupled to the first end of the arm assembly and a cutting device operably coupled to the second end of the arm assembly. The prepping tool is configured to cut an object in variable circumferences in a substantially circular fashion.

Claims (59)

1 . A prepping tool, comprising:

an arm assembly having a first end and a second end; where the first end and the second end are on a longitudinal axis;

a handle base rotationally coupled to the first end of the arm assembly; and

a cutting device operably coupled to the second end of the arm assembly;

wherein the tool is configured to cut an object in variable circumferences.

2 . The prepping tool of claim 1 , wherein

the arm assembly comprises regularly spaced marks along the longitudinal direction of the arm assembly

3 . The prepping tool of claim 1 , wherein the cutting device comprises;

a cutting means; and

a control means configured to adjust the position of the cutting device along the longitudinal direction of the arm assembly.

4 . The prepping tool of claim 3 , wherein the control means comprises;

an upper grip; and

a lower support, wherein the upper grip is disposed on the lower support and is attached to the lower support by a fastening means;

wherein the upper grip engages the arm assembly to guide the movement and positioning of the cutting device along the arm assembly.

5 . The prepping tool of claim 4 , wherein the lower support comprises;

a connector shaft configured to accept the cutting means;

a fastening means configured to attach the cutting means to the connector shaft; and

a locking cap configured to secure the cutting means to the cutting device.

6 . The prepping tool of claim 3 , wherein the cutting means comprises a cutting wheel.

7 . The prepping tool of claim 6 , wherein the cutting wheel comprises a curved cutting edge.

8 . The prepping tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle base is configured to store at least one cutting means.

9 . A prepping tool, comprising:

an arm assembly having a first end, a second end and a slit disposed along a longitudinal direction therein-between;

a handle base rotationally coupled to the first end of the arm assembly;

a cutting device operably coupled to the second end of the arm assembly;

wherein the cutting device comprises a cutting means and a control means configured to adjust the position of the cutting device between the first and second ends of arm assembly along the slit;

wherein said prepping tool is configured to cut an object in variable circumferences

10 . The prepping tool of claim 9 , wherein

the arm assembly comprises;

regularly spaced marks on a surface of the arm assembly along the slit; and

a plurality of notches on at least one inner surface of the slit corresponding to the regularly spaced marks of the arm assembly.

11 . The prepping tool of claim 9 , wherein the control means further comprises;

an upper grip;

a lower support; and

a slide disposed therein-between;

wherein the upper grip is disposed on the lower support and engages the lower support by a fastening means; and

the upper grip further engages the slide by means of tabs disposed on two opposing sides of the upper grip;

wherein the slide guides the movement and positioning of the cutting device along the slit of the arm assembly.

12 . The prepping tool of claim 11 , wherein the slide comprises;

at least one protrusion on two opposing outer surfaces of the slide configured to engage at least one notch along the inner surface of the slit of the arm assembly.

13 . The prepping tool of claim 11 , wherein the lower support comprises;

a connector shaft configured to accept the cutting means;

a fastening means configured to attach the cutting means to the connector shaft; and

a locking cap configured to secure the cutting means to the lower support.

14 . The prepping tool of claim 13 , wherein the fastening means comprises a metal washer and a magnet.

15 . The prepping tool of claim 9 , wherein the handle base comprises;

an upper part;

a lower part; and

a base part, wherein the arm assembly is rotationally coupled between the upper part and the lower part of the handle base; and

the lower part is removably attached to the base part of the handle base.

16 . The prepping tool of claim 15 , wherein the lower part and the base part form a hollow portion configured to store at least one cutting means.

17 . The prepping tool of claim 9 , wherein the cutting means comprises a cutting wheel.

18 . The prepping tool of claim 17 , wherein the cutting wheel comprises a curved cutting edge.

19 . A method for using a prepping tool to make a circumferential cut comprising the steps of:

placing a handle base on a flatten surface of a dough-like object, the handle base rotationally coupled to a first end of a longitudinal arm assembly;

adjusting position of a cutting device along the length of the arm assembly, the cutting device operationally coupled to a second end of a longitudinal arm assembly;

holding handle base down with one hand;

rotating the cutting device in a clock-wise or anti-clock-wise direction with the other hand.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the cutting device is comprised of a control means and a cutting means.
