Cutting device for cutting the surfaces of meat, meat products or the like

The innovation relates to a cutting device for decoratively cutting the surfaces of preferably meat with rind, meat products or the like.

It is a hand-held device for scoring the surface of a piece of meat to a certain adjustable cutting depth in order to create a decorative pattern that has a sales-promoting effect.

On the other hand, the increased surface area shortens the necessary thermal treatment time and intensifies the absorption of spices.

According to the innovation, the cutting device includes a housing (2) for accommodating the drive motor (3) and gear (4), the electrical actuating elements (10) for preferably two-hand operation and the detachable positive connection (11) between the gear (4) and cutting rollers (5).

The two counter-rotating cutting rollers (5), preferably as shown in Figure 2, are mounted on the opposite side (13) of the connection to the gear (11) in the protective cover (9), which is detachably attached to the housing (2).

The cutting elements (7) in the form of circular blades are held at a desired distance a from one another by the distance locks (6) and are arranged on the two cutting rollers (5) offset by half the distance a, as shown in Figure 1.

The lines of action of the rotating circular blades overlap.

A lockable pressure plate (12) is provided to hold down the material to be cut (1) and to adjust the cutting depth.

Further advantageous embodiments of the innovation emerge from the claims, the drawings and the descriptions of the mode of operation as well as the exemplary embodiment, which is explained below.

The preferred application of this innovation is the decorative scoring of meat pieces with rind and other meat products.

Manually scoring the surface of the meat with a knife is very time-consuming, especially when preparing pieces of meat for sale in the meat industry, in supermarkets, butcher shops and in the catering industry.

If the cuts are too close together, it is rarely possible to achieve a uniform surface quality when working with the knife.

In the case of meat with rind, for example, this is due to the fact that the elastic part of the meat shifts when the rind surface is cut and is difficult to hold in place.
The aim of the innovation is to avoid these existing disadvantages.

The cutting device is placed with the pressure plate on the piece of meat to be cut and, after activating the two electrical switching elements (10), is moved evenly over the surface in accordance with the desired pattern.

The particular advantage of the cutting device according to the invention is that the counter-rotating circular blades (7) compensate for the feed and cutting forces introduced into the piece of meat.

This prevents slipping on the surface of the meat and also on the surface below it and ensures optimal cutting quality.

For different pattern sizes, interchangeable cutting rollers (5) with different knife spacing locks (6) are provided.

The lockable pressure plate (12) is used to hold down the material to be cut and to adjust the cutting depth.

The diameter d of the circular knives ( 7 ), the center distance of the cutting rollers ( 5 ), the cutting depth and the distance of the knives (7 ) on the cutting rollers ( 5 ) are dimensionally coordinated for different sizes of the pattern.
