Abstract

The appliance for using asparagus stalks has a housing (3) contg. three spring-mounted blade holders (1) each staggered by 120 deg. from the next and each contg. two spirally cutting blades (2). The blade holders, in the form of two armed levers, are joined at their free outer ends into a ring by a plate spring (9). That part (4) of ther holder holding the blade is angled at 45 deg. The blades protrudes in a wedge shape from the holder so as to bite more deeply into thicker asparagus, and are at 45 deg. to the asparagus lengthwise axis (2). A flat ring (11) manipulated externally by a hand lever is beneath the housing lid, and opens the blades using carrier pins (13). USE/ADVANTAGE - The unpeeled stalks of asparagus are cut up into short pieces a few mm long so as to be totally edible.

Description

Es ist bekannt, daß Spargel zur Verwertung geschält werden muß, da die in der Schale enthaltenen langen Fasern beim Kochen nicht weich werden und somit für den Genuß unbrauchbar sind. Diese wertvollen Ballast­ stoffe werden in der Regel als Abfall entsorgt. Der Gewichtsverlust ist erheblich.It is known that asparagus is peeled for recovery must be, since the long contained in the bowl Fibers do not become soft during cooking and therefore for the enjoyment are useless. This valuable ballast substances are generally disposed of as waste. The Weight loss is significant.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Spargel un­ geschält, also vollwertig, genießbar zu machen.The invention has for its object, asparagus un peeled, that is, to make it fully edible.

Als Lösung dieses Problems sieht die Erfindung vor, die langfaserige Schale am Spargel in einige Milli­ meter kurze Stücke zu schneiden. Die Schale wird nicht entfernt.To solve this problem, the invention provides the long-fiber skin on the asparagus in a few milli cut short pieces. The shell will not removed.

Das Schneiden der Schale geschieht mit einer Vorrich­ tung, in der drei in federnden Haltern 1 befestigte, um jeweils 120 Grad versetzte Messerpaare 2 den Spar­ gel spiralförmig einritzen. Der Spargel wird hierbei senkrecht von oben nach unten durch die Vorrichtung geschoben. Die als zweiarmige Hebel ausgebildeten Messerhalter sind in dem feststehenden Gehäuse 3 ge­ lagert. Der abwärts bewegte Spargel gleitet an den Messerhaltern entlang und wird in einem Winkel von ca. 45 Grad durch die vorstehenden Messer in entspre­ chender Tiefe eingeschnitten. Die Schrägstellung der Messer bewirkt bei senkrechtem Druck auf den Spargel, daß dieser in Drehung versetzt wird. So entstehen spiralförmige Einschnitte mit großer Steigung. The cutting of the shell is done with a tung Vorrich in which three fixed in resilient holders 1, offset by 120 degrees pairs of blades 2 scratch the saving gel spirally. The asparagus is pushed vertically through the device from top to bottom. The knife holder designed as a two-armed lever are stored in the fixed housing 3 ge. The asparagus moved downwards glides along the knife holders and is cut at an angle of approx. 45 degrees by the protruding knives at the appropriate depth. The inclined position of the knives causes vertical pressure on the asparagus to cause it to rotate. This creates spiral incisions with a large slope.

Bei dickem Spargel ist in der Regel auch die Schale dicker und fester als bei dünnem. Folglich müssen mit zunehmender Dicke des Spargels die Messer tiefer schneiden. Hierzu ist der die Messer tragende Teil 4 der Messerhalter um 45 Grad abgewinkelt, und die Mes­ ser ragen aus dem Messerhalter keilförmig heraus 5 Bei dünnem Spargel liegen die flach schneidenden En­ den der Messerhalter an 7, bei dickem Spargel ver­ schieben sich die Aulagepunkte nach hinten 8, wo die Messer tiefer schneiden. Der erforderliche höhere An­ preßdruck entsteht zwangsläufig durch die zunehmende Federspannung 6. Die äußeren Hebelarme der Messerhal­ ter sind an den Enden ringförmig durch eine Blattfeder 9 verbunden. Zur Erlangung eines Anfangsdruckes ist die Feder an den abgeschrägten Enden der Messerhalter vor­ gespannt 10. Zum Öffnen der Messer ist in dem Gehäu­ sedeckel ein Flachring 11 eingelegt, der von außen über einen Handgriff 12 betätigt wird. Mitnehmerzapfen 13 drücken die Messerhalter auseinander. Das Durchschie­ ben des Spargels geschieht von Hand. Hierzu dient ein Knauf, in dem ein Mitnehmer drehbar gelagert ist. Der Mitnehmer ist unten trichterförmig offen und kann so auf das Schnittende des Spargels aufgesetzt werden. Er folgt der Drehung beim Schneidevorgang bis zum Anschlag auf dem Gehäusedeckel. Um das verbleibende Endstück wird der Spargel mit Drehbewegung nach unten herausgezogen.With thick asparagus, the skin is usually thicker and firmer than with thin. As a result, as the asparagus increases in thickness, the knives must cut deeper. For this purpose, the knife-bearing member 4 is bent, the blade holder 45 degrees, and the Mes ser protrude from the knife holder wedge-out 5 In thin asparagus the flat intersecting En are to the knife holder to 7, ver with thick Asparagus the Aulagepunkte slide back 8 where the knives cut deeper. The required higher contact pressure inevitably arises from the increasing spring tension 6th The outer lever arms of the Messerhal ter are annularly connected at the ends by a leaf spring 9 . To obtain an initial pressure, the spring is pre-tensioned at the bevelled ends of the knife holder 10 . To open the knife a flat ring 11 is inserted in the housing sedeckel, which is actuated from the outside via a handle 12 . Driving pins 13 press the knife holders apart. The asparagus is pushed through by hand. A knob, in which a driver is rotatably mounted, is used for this purpose. The driver is open at the bottom in a funnel shape and can thus be placed on the cut end of the asparagus. It follows the rotation during the cutting process up to the stop on the housing cover. The asparagus is pulled out around the remaining end piece by rotating it downwards.

Vorteile gegenüber dem üblichen Verfahren mit geschäl­ tem Spargel bestehen darin, daß durch abfallfreie Ver­ wertung kein Gewichtsverlust entsteht. Die wichtigen Ballaststoffe bleiben vollwertig genußfähig erhalten. Ferner entfällt das mühsame und aufwendige Schälen so­ wie das Wegräumen und Entsorgen der Schalen, was einen erheblichen Zeitgewinn bedeutet.Advantages over the usual peeling process asparagus consist in the fact that waste-free Ver no weight loss arises. The important ones Dietary fiber remains fully edible. Furthermore, the tedious and time-consuming peeling is eliminated like putting away and disposing of the bowls, what one significant time saving means.
