Abstract
A ring slicer having an easily removable knife and knife assembly. Within the scope of the invention, there is an apparatus for cutting an article of wood, comprising a ring assembly comprising two end plates and a plurality of knife assemblies.
Each knife assembly comprises a knife, a base, and a clamp for clamping the knife to the base. The assemblies are provided for installation between the end plates. According to one aspect of the invention, the bases include one or more first apertures and at least one of the end plates includes a corresponding set of one or more second apertures therethrough for receiving respective dowel pins. The first apertures are adapted to snugly slidingly receive the respective dowel pins. According to another aspect of the invention, for each knife assembly, the clamp includes an upper clamping member that is mounted to the base so that a portion of the upper clamping member is cantilevered from the base.

Claims (8)
1. An apparatus for cutting an article of wood, comprising:
a ring assembly comprising two end plates for rotation about an axis of rotation and a plurality of knife assemblies, each assembly comprising an elongate knife having a cutting edge extending along an elongate axis, a base, and a clamp for clamping the knife to the base, said assemblies for installation between said end plates by one or more bolts extending through one or both of said end plates into the respective said bases, wherein, for each said knife assembly, said clamp includes an upper clamping member that is mounted to said base so that a portion of said upper clamping member is cantilevered from said base, and wherein each said knife assembly includes provision for at least one bolt extending through the respective said portion into the respective said base wherein tightening said bolt elastically deflects said portion against one side of said knife.
a ring assembly comprising two end plates for rotation about an axis of rotation and a plurality of knife assemblies, each assembly comprising an elongate knife having a cutting edge extending along an elongate axis, a base, and a clamp for clamping the knife to the base, said assemblies for installation between said end plates by one or more bolts extending through one or both of said end plates into the respective said bases, wherein, for each said knife assembly, said clamp includes an upper clamping member that is mounted to said base so that a portion of said upper clamping member is cantilevered from said base, and wherein each said knife assembly includes provision for at least one bolt extending through the respective said portion into the respective said base wherein tightening said bolt elastically deflects said portion against one side of said knife.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein both of said end plates includes respective slots corresponding to said assemblies, said slots being adapted to pass the respective knives of said assemblies through said end plates in the direction of said elongate axes.
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said knife has two opposed cutting edges.
4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said knife has two opposed cutting edges.
5. A method for maintaining or repairing a ring slicing apparatus, comprising the steps of providing a ring assembly comprising two end plates for rotation about an axis and a plurality of knife assemblies, each assembly comprising an elongate knife having a cutting edge extending along an elongate axis, a base, and a clamp for clamping the knife to the base, said assemblies for installation between said end plates by one or more bolts extending through one or both of said end plates into the respective said bases, wherein, for each said knife assembly, said clamp includes an upper clamping member that is mounted to said base so that a portion of said upper clamping member is cantilevered from said base;
providing that each said knife assembly includes at least one bolt extending through the respective said portion into the respective said base; and tightening at least one of said bolts to elastically deflect the corresponding said portion against one side of the corresponding knife to clamp the knife.
providing that each said knife assembly includes at least one bolt extending through the respective said portion into the respective said base; and tightening at least one of said bolts to elastically deflect the corresponding said portion against one side of the corresponding knife to clamp the knife.
6. The method of claim 5, further comprising providing slots corresponding to said assemblies through at least one of said end plates, and removing a selected knife from the ring assembly by passing said selected knife through one of the corresponding slots.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein said step of passing includes pushing said selected knife through said one of the corresponding slots with another knife.
8. The method of claim 6, comprising providing that said selected knife has two opposed cutting edges, wherein, prior to said step of removing said selected knife from the ring assembly said selected knife presented a first cutting edge, the method further comprising turning said selected knife end-for-end and replacing said selected knife into the ring assembly by passing said selected knife through one of the corresponding slots to reinstall the knife in the apparatus so as to present the second cutting edge.
