Hamburger press patty express

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to take a given food product such as loose hamburger meat and form it into multiple patty shapes with the use of a compacter within a container and a cutter. The patties should be formed without the user having any direct contact with raw meat.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A hamburger making apparatus comprising:
 a container, configured to retain therein meat;   an object configured to pack meat in the container;   said container comprising:
 a plurality of parallel slots therein; 
 a cutter comprising:
 a cutter base; 
 a plurality of spaced apart and parallel cutting blades coupled to said cutter base, configured in registration with said plurality of parallel slots, so that a movement of said cutter base will cause each of said plurality of spaced apart and parallel cutting blades to be introduced into said container through a different one of said plurality of parallel slots; 
 said cutter and said container configured in combination so that when said blades are inserted in said slots of said container when said container is filled with meat, a plurality of individual meat patties are formed; and 
 wherein said container is divided in a first piece and second piece with a hinge coupling one side of said first piece to the second piece. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of spaced apart and parallel cutting blades are each detachably coupled with said cutter base. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein only one of said first piece and said second piece has said slots therein. 
     
     
         4 . A hamburger making apparatus comprising:
 a container, configured to retain meat therein;   a member configured to contact meat in the container;   said container comprising:
 a plurality of orifices therein; 
 a structure comprising:
 a base; 
 a plurality of tools coupled to said base, configured in registration with said plurality of parallel orifices; and 
 said structure and said container configured in combination so that a movement of said base causing each of said plurality of tools to be y introduced into said container through a different one of said plurality of orifices when said container is filled with meat, a plurality of individual meat portions are formed. 
 
   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein said plurality of tools are detachably coupled with said base. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein said container is a cylinder divided in a first piece and second piece with a hinge coupling said first piece to the second piece. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein only one of said first piece and second piece has said orifices therein. 
     
     
         8 . A hamburger making apparatus comprising:
 a structure, configured to retain therein meat;   an object configured to contact meat in the structure;   said structure comprising:
 a plurality of slots therein; 
 a divider comprising:
 a divider base; 
 a plurality of spaced apart and cutting members coupled to said cutter base, configured in registration with said plurality of slots, so that a movement of said cutter base will cause each of said plurality of spaced apart and cutting members to be introduced into said structure through a different one of said plurality of slots; 
 said cutter and said structure configured in combination so that when said members are inserted in said slots of said structure when said structure is filled with meat, a plurality of individual meat patties are formed; and 
 wherein said plurality of spaced apart and cutting members are detachably coupled with said cutter base.
