DE102004056405B3 - Dicing grater for foodstuffs, rotates food to be cut after cutting operation during forward movement and prior to cutting operation during backward movement of food - Google Patents

Abstract

The grater has a cutting blade arranged perpendicular to a sliding plate on which the food to be grated is slid backwards and forwards. The blade cuts both on the forward and on the backward movement of the food. A rotating device rotates the food to be cut after the cutting operation during forward movement and prior to the cutting operation during backward movement. An independent claim is included for an exchangeable cutting module for the grater.

Description

The The invention relates to a cutting device.

A such device, often as a multi-purpose vegetable grater is known by German Patent 28 16 929. By the multiplicity by the side in the frame of the device inserted shredding inserts, optionally as needed in the work area, also laterally, be inserted is it is possible to solve a variety of shredding tasks. Thus, with such a device not just vegetables be crushed, but also other foods such as nuts, chocolate and cheese, to name just a few examples.

Furthermore, by the EP 0 965 418 A1 a cutting device for such a device for comminuting food, which is provided with a transverse knife and a feed path known.

adversely but at these facilities is that the crushing knife are free and thus a big one Pose a risk of injury.

This risk of injury is attempted to be countered by the fact that this vegetable grater with a so-called leftovers, as in the DE 28 16 929 described, are used. Although the danger was reduced when used properly, it could not really be eliminated.

DE 103 05 969 A1 discloses a security grater in which means are provided which prevent use of the friction and cutting insert without rest holder attachment.

Out US 1,296,091 is a vegetable cutter with a tiltably mounted double-edged knife known. The knife is pivoted by a tilting mechanism when moving a rest holder in each case in the direction of movement corresponding cutting position. The tilt mechanism is driven by the in-use waste holder, with a cam rolling on a surface of the residue holder. The vegetable cutter has the advantage that a cutting process takes place in each case both in the outward and in the forth. However, the arrangement requires a high manufacturing precision, so that the remainder of the holder can mechanically coupled via the rolling movement with the tilting mechanism. The mechanical coupling is also vulnerable and wears out quickly.

task The invention is a device for mincing food and in particular a cutting device for such a device to disposal to provide a comprehensive protection against injury both in the resting state of the device as well as while working offers and the above beyond reliable and precise works and is easy to make.

The The object is achieved by a cutting device for a device for comminution solved by food, in this device alternately with other cutting devices can be used, wherein the cutting device with a through a Holder for the material to be cut and / or by the material to be cut itself device to be triggered for adjusting a crushing blade, and / or a feeder to the shredder, from a neutral to a cutting position is and wherein the device consists of a spring-loaded angle lever consists whose first leg in the slide of the holder or of the material to be cut protrudes and the second leg of the crushing knife or the feeder is formed acting.

refinements The invention can be found in the dependent claims. The device for adjustment consists of a spring-loaded angle lever, the first leg in the slideway of the guide (leftovers or to cutting material) protrudes and the second leg of the crushing knife or the feeder applied. Naturally does not have to the crusher are applied directly, but it is possible, too, a holder or a socket for the crushing knife to apply.

ever by size of vegetable grater It is also conceivable to arrange the device on both sides.

Especially advantageous is a development of the invention, according to which an individual height adjustment the crusher allows becomes. In this case, the loading surface for the first leg of the angle lever formed height adjustable relative to the crushing knife. This is achieved very simply in that the loading surface in cross section cuneiform accomplished is.

These starting slope can for further simplification of the operation with one of the cutter led out Actuate lever together. Finally, the run-on slope to the mark several notches sawtooth-like be educated.

One embodiment The invention is illustrated in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:

1 an overall view of a device for mincing food with an inserted cutter and holder,

2 a perspective view of the cutting device from below,

3 a top view of a cutting device,

4 a section according to the line IV-IV after 3 and

5 a view of the cutter according to the direction V in 4 ,

In the 1 The apparatus shown, commonly referred to as a vegetable grater, is for shredding such as grating, slicing, slicing, rasping or the like of foods such as potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, fruits, onions, nuts and the like. The device consists of one with a handle 1 provided elongated base plate 2 , above the surface 3 The food to be ground by hand with a holder 4 for guiding and securing the operating hand are moved back and forth. The holder 4 is on the two L-shaped side panels 5 of the basic frame 6 guided. The base plate 2 In this case, in its middle region has a recess extending through to the underside 7 on, in each of which one of several different cutting devices for the different shredding work for the intended use can be used. The cutting devices 8th can consist of knife combinations, friction inserts, rasps or the like.

The holder 4 is made up of the recording 9 with recessed grips 10 and the pressing part 11 together. The holder 4 is in grooves 12 in the sidewalls 5 guided.

In the basic frame 6 is the side of the cutter 8th inserted. The cutting device 8th consists of a base frame 13 with guide rails 14 for insertion into the recess 7 , one from the base frame 6 protruding handle 15 and about a movie hinge 16 hinged retaining plate 17 for the actual shredder 18 ,

Below the retaining plate 17 is a longitudinally adjustable plate 19 with a loading surface that as a run-up slope 20 is formed, provided.

The adjusting plate 19 is in the base frame 13 guided laterally and with an adjusting lever 21 connected. The adjusting lever 21 is at the end 22 in a side-eye 23 of the base frame 13 and in the middle 24 on the adjustment plate 19 stored. The adjusting lever 21 penetrates the side wall 25 of the base frame 13 in an adjustment slot 26 and ends in an adjustment handle 27 , On the side wall 25 are detent positions 28 intended.

Next is in the base frame 13 an adjustment on both sides 29 stored. This adjustment 29 consists of an angle lever 30 the one on an axis 31 with the interposition of a spring 32 in the side wall 25 is stored. The first leg 33 protrudes into the slideway at rest 34 of the owner 4 while the second leg 35 below the crusher 18 stands.

Upon application of the thigh 33 through the holder 4 or directly through the material to be cut this pivots in the direction 36 which, of course, at the same time the second leg 35 pivots high and against the run-up slope 20 encounters. As a result, depending on the position of the run-on slope 20 the holding plate 17 with the crushing knife 18 over the slideway 34 lifted. Once the holder 4 over the crusher 18 slipped, the thigh becomes 33 released and pivots by the force of the spring 32 in his in 4 shown position, whereby the leg 35 the holding plate 17 releases, so that again in the in 4 shown position pivots.

In the in 3 and 4 shown position is the lever 21 at the lowest cutting thickness. By pivoting this adjustment lever 21 over the adjustment handle 27 in the direction 37 becomes the adjustment plate 19 over the sliding block connected to it 38 by a ledge 39 on the back side 40 the holding plate 17 is guided, in the direction of thigh 35 postponed. This is the starting slope 20 closer to this leg 35 approach, so that when pivoting the legs 35 the crusher 18 continue on the slide 34 raising. It is achieved by a greater average thickness.
