Description

Device for marking pies and cakes for the purpose of dividing into equal pieces of any size. Dividing cakes and pies evenly is known to be difficult, and it is often caused by uneven division Disadvantages for the pastry chef and inconvenience for the buyer or guests feel deprived.

The devices for dividing cakes and pies with fixed, are arranged in a star shape, as they only allow one division, limited in the application possibilities, because the confectioner has to divide depending on set up the size and cost of the cakes or pies.

In order to enable an alternating division, devices have already been proposed, Consists of a rotatable support plate for the cake with a spring pin and small bores existing adjustment means on the underside and one radial Swivel lever lying in the middle of the plate, which must be pressed down on the cake in every position. Once the setting means should not result in safe and precise work, then but is z. B. with decorated cakes or pies the lever to mark easily smear so that it has to be cleaned after each lowering stroke, otherwise the whole cake or tart is smeared.

Another device serving this purpose consists of an over U-shaped bracket to push the cake, the one with partial marks on the upper leg provided disc and rotatably carries a pointer above this. For sharing the cake the pointer is progressively set on the marks of the divisions and the Cut cake by passing a hand knife to the pointer. It will after all, be difficult to bring such a device over a cake. then but with this device, as with the one previously mentioned, it must be used for each cake and each section a special setting can be made, self if a number of cakes. is completely equal to share, so that working with these devices is cumbersome and time consuming.

A device has also become known in which knife Star-shaped and .. interchangeably inserted in grooves on the underside of a disc are. However, this arrangement has only very limited adjustment options.

Finally, devices for dividing cakes have become known, in which knives are used in a star-shaped interchangeable manner in coaxial rings will. In these devices, the knives are with their ends in the top and bottom closed slits in the mantle of the rings. As a result, special precautions need to be taken for inserting the knives. For this purpose is with one Device of the outer ring divided and designed to be hinged, while the other The inner ring is very narrow for this purpose and the device outer ring designed as a double ring contains special mounting plates between which the knives are inserted from the inside. This is also the case with these devices the setting options are still relatively limited.

The invention also relates to a device for marking Pies and cakes in which the dividing knives in openings of equiaxed rings can be used interchangeably, and the novelty of the invention consists initially in that the rigidly connected equiaxed rings open on both end faces Have grooves for inserting the partial knives.

Another feature of the invention is that the part knife extending over the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring, arranged at right angles Have approaches.

As a result, the device according to the invention is stable due to the rigid Connection of rings; it enables an extraordinarily extensive division the attachment of the grooves for receiving the knives on both faces - the rings, at the same time the open grooves a more convenient insertion and replacement of the Enable knife; the device also allows the sharing of circular cakes and cakes as well as rectangular ones through the angled attachments of the knife by unrolling on the cake or cake.

The invention is illustrated in an exemplary embodiment in the drawing.

Fig. I shows a vertical cross-section through the device in the knives inserted into the even-numbered grooves, Fig. 2 the top view of the device from the side: - which corresponds to the even-numbered divisions Nuten, et @ '4'; # Zbb._ 3 an elevation of the device with anorditxttag of the knife Fig. I and 2, Fig. Q. a vertical cross-section through the device with in the Odd-numbered pitches corresponding grooves inserted on the other face Knives, Fig. 5 the top view of the device from the side of the odd-numbered ones Grooves corresponding to pitches, Fig. 6 is an elevation of the device with the arrangement of the Knife according to fig. Q. and 5.

The holder consists of the two coaxial and spaced apart rings a and b, which are rigidly connected to one another by webs c. On the upper and lower edge, the rings have the desired divisions - corresponding grooves d and d1, of which the grooves d on one side correspond to the even-numbered divisions and the grooves dl on the other side correspond to the odd-numbered divisions. f are the knives inserted into the grooves d or d ', which by clamping or an additional holding means z. B. over the rings, arranged on the knives springs g can be held detachably in position. The knives f are provided with projections 7a which extend over the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring b and are arranged at right angles, which are used to divide rectangular cakes or the like, while the main parts of the knives are arranged in a star shape to one another.

The ring frame and the knives can be made of any suitable material * be produced, e.g. B. synthetic resin, hard paper, etc.
