Description

Meat grinder with vertical screw conveyor The invention works from a meat grinder with a vertical screw conveyor in a detachable connection with a food processor driven by an electric motor, the driving shaft of which can be coupled to the screw conveyor at the outlet end, the drive being the Conveyor screw extends through the middle of a collecting tray for the shredded material. A design of this type that has become known is suitable for practical use not, because in the known design it is necessary that the driving Shaft of the food processor within a fixed bearing tube over the whole Height of the drip tray extends upwards. As a result, everyone else must tools to be connected to the kitchen appliance be designed accordingly. In addition, special means are required to prevent the unwanted rotation of the To prevent drip tray.

To a meat grinder of the type mentioned in a simple manner to be able to connect to the connection point of a food processor, with the The drive shaft of the food processor is not significantly above the food processor housing raises, the invention consists in that the screw conveyor of the meat grinder with an intermediate shaft is connected, the bearing body below for placing, connecting and coupling formed with a known connection point of the kitchen appliance is, wherein the bearing body carries the collecting tray for the comminuted material and has lateral support arms leading to the locking ring of the meat grinder housing at the top.

The housewife only needs one from the meat grinder, the storage body and the drip tray existing structural unit on the connection point of the food processor put on and lock with a small twist, whereupon the meat grinder is able to work immediately. The housewife can do the entire job just as easily and quickly Remove the unit from the connection point when you have finished with the shredded material the drip tray wants to pour out. For cleaning purposes already had at ordinary, hand-powered meat grinder, the housewife removes the locking ring to remove from the housing. The subject of the invention is also in the same simple manner to clean, with the advantage that the housewife in the decrease of the locking ring simultaneously the perforated disc, the screw conveyor and the cutting knife removed from the housing without additional work.

The well-known name meat grinder should not exclude that Instead of meat, another good can be processed.

In the drawing, an embodiment of the meat grinder is shown.

F i g. 1 shows a known electric motor-driven kitchen appliance in its outline, seen from the side, with a meat grinder attached; F i g. 2 shows a vertical section drawn on a larger scale through the meat grinder. The meat grinder consists in a known manner of a housing 1, a screw conveyor 2, a star-shaped knife 3 and a perforated disk 4 which is inserted into the housing 1 in such a way that it is connected to rotation is prevented. The screw 2 and the knife 3 are firmly connected to the vertical drive shaft 5. The material to be shredded is poured into the upper end of the housing 1, onto which a funnel can also be placed.

The drive shaft 5 is mounted in a bearing body 6 , from which two or more lateral arms 7 , which are preferably directed obliquely upward, extend which carry the locking ring 8 of the grinder housing 1 , which is known per se. The arms 7 and the ring 8 with the bearing body 6 preferably consist of one piece. At the bottom, the bearing body 6 is formed into a coupling half 9 known per se in other mounting devices, in the center of which the lower end of the drive shaft 5 is located, which is formed, for example, as a square 10 for the purpose of coupling. An annular collecting tray 11 is fixedly or detachably connected to the bearing body 6 or the coupling half 9, which is enlarged in diameter.

In Fig. 1, a placement and connection point 13 is indicated by dashed lines in a known electric motor kitchen appliance 12. Within this connection point there is a vertical drive shaft, designed as a coupling half, which is driven by the motor in a stepped down manner.

To use the meat grinder, its housing with the lower part 9 of the bearing body 6 and the drip tray 11 is placed on the connection point 13 and firmly connected to the food processor housing 12 , for example by a small twist, so that the housing 1, the bearing body 6 and the shell 11 are prevented from rotating. When placed, the lower end 10 of the drive shaft 5 engages the drive shaft of the food processor in a coupling manner, so that the screw 2 and the knife 3 are driven via the drive shaft 5 when the food processor is running. The goods emerging from the holes in the disk 4 fall through the spaces between the arms 7 down into the collecting tray 11. The upper part 9 'of the coupling half 9 is preferably completely or partially conical in order to allow the goods to slide off into the tray 11 to facilitate.

Claims (1)

Claim: Meat grinder with vertical screw conveyor in detachable connection with an electric motor-driven food processor, the driving shaft of which can be coupled to the screw conveyor at the outlet end, the drive extending through the middle of a collecting tray for the chopped up goods, characterized by a with the screw conveyor (2 ) connected intermediate shaft (5) whose bearing body (6, 7, 9) is designed below for placing, connecting and coupling with a known connection point of the kitchen appliance and carries the collecting tray (11) for the shredded material, while the bearing body is on the side at the top , has support arms (7) leading to the locking ring (8) of the meat grinder housing.
