Analysis

Supporting base without hinges

Plan depicting alignment of cutting wire and base of Egg Slicer. Eggs can be placed horizontally or vertically.

The Egg Slicer is constructed of common industrial materials. The base is made of mouldable plastic allowing for commercial mass production while the “lid� and wires are made of metal for its edge and durability allowing it to easily slice through an egg. There is a raised central platform also made of plastic which consists of eliptical indents that allows an egg to be placed either vertically or horizontally. The base of the egg slicer can be seperated into 3 main components. The supporting base, the hinges and the central platform. The central platform can be furthur seperated into 9 discrete sections, but consist of essentially repeats of sections A - E. These are depicted in the diagrams to the right and the following pages.
