Who invented the eggbeater?

Answer 1

from www.berkel.com = COMPANY HISTORY = A Slice of History In 1898, W.A. Van Berkel, a butcher in Rotterdam of the Netherlands, figured out a way to slice more meat for his butcher shop to better serve his customers. The result of his innovation and determination was the world's first meat-slicing machine. The machine not only changed the way slicing was done in Van Berkel's butcher shop, it revolutionized the way people prepare food all over the world. By 1907, Berkel machines were reported in England, Belgium, France, Russia, China, Mexico, Canada and other countries. In 1909, manufacturing of the first American machines began at the U.S. Slicing Machine Company is Chicago, Illinois. Six years later, the company had outgrown its space in Chicago, built a new factory in LaPorte, Indiana, and changed its name to Berkel Incorporated. In 2001, Berkel moved to South Bend, Indiana where, in addition to slicers, the company continues to offer such products as mixers, meat tenderizers, choppers, food cutters and processors and vacuum packaging machines. ITW Food Equipment Group, located in Troy, Ohio, acquired the assets of Berkel Incorporated in July 2001 and formed Berkel Company. We see this as an opportunity to further enhance the Berkel brand name, to grow our U.S. and Canadian market share and improve our margins through the application of ITW's 80/20 philosophies.

Many people say the egg slicer was invented in the 1950s in Northern California by Chef Christopher Faison. The first patent filed for such a device (US2095913 A) was in December 1936 by Manuel Freitas Braz from Hilo, Hawaii. The utensil seen in the patent is very different from the modern version we know but is very clearly designed "providing [a] means whereby an egg may be sliced evenly in a single operation." One year later the patent for the modern version we see today (US2240221 A) was filed by Maurice Locker from Great Britain. Extencive serching shows that Christopher Faison never even filed a patent for his device and there is a very good chance kitchen utensils like these were used even earlier than these patents. So who invented the egg slicer? The world may never know.
