Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Küchengerät zum Schneiden von Obst, Gemüse und sonstigen Lebensmitteln gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a kitchen device for cutting fruit, vegetables and other foods according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei derartigen Geräten wird das in Scheiben zu schneidende Gut auf einer unteren Führungsplatte geführt und gegen ein auf der oberen Führungsplatte angeordnetes Schneidmesser gedrückt. Die Schnittstärke wird dabei durch Verstellen der unteren zungenartigen Führungsplatte variiert. Ein derartiges Küchengerät ist durch die DE-AS 27 27 358 bekannt. Nachteilig an dieser Ausführung ist die senkrechte Anordnung des Schneidmessers zur Führungsbahn des zu schneidenden Gutes. Dadurch ist empfindliches Gemüse wie zum Beispiel Tomaten nicht mehr zu schneiden.In such devices, the material to be cut into slices is guided on a lower guide plate and pressed against a cutting knife arranged on the upper guide plate. The cutting thickness is varied by adjusting the lower tongue-like guide plate. Such a kitchen device is known from DE-AS 27 27 358. A disadvantage of this design is the vertical arrangement of the cutting knife to the guideway of the material to be cut. As a result, sensitive vegetables such as tomatoes can no longer be cut.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Küchengerät zum Schneiden von Obst, Gemüse und sonstigen Lebensmitteln zu schaffen, das auch empfindliches Schnittgut wie Tomaten zuverlässig schneidet und dabei dennoch eine genaue Schnittstärkenregulierung ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a kitchen device for cutting fruit, vegetables and other foods, which also reliably cuts sensitive clippings such as tomatoes and yet enables precise regulation of the cutting thickness.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die relativ starke Schrägstellung des Schneidmessers erlaubt einen ziehenden Schnitt, so daß auch weiches zähhäutiges Gemüse ohne weiteres geschnitten werden kann,wobei die Schnittstärkenregulierung im annähernd gleichen Winkel zum Rahmen wie das Schneidmesser wirkt. Die Verwendung einer geführten Verstellstange ermöglicht zudem eine kostengünstige, montagefreundliche Fertigung.This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1. The relatively strong inclination of the cutting knife allows a pulling cut, so that even soft, viscous vegetables can be cut easily, the cutting thickness regulation acting at approximately the same angle to the frame as the cutting knife. The use of a guided adjustment rod also enables cost-effective, easy-to-assemble production.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

So bewirkt die besondere Ausbildung der Schneide eine zusätzliche Verbesserung des Schnittergebnisses. Durch die Verbindung der unteren Führungsplatte über ein Filmscharnier ist es möglich, diese Führungsplatte ebenfalls sehr steif auszubilden. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß diese bei der Schnittstärkenverstellung vollkommen plan bleibt. Dagegen wird bei der Schnittstärkenverstellung nach der DE-AS 27 27 358 die Führungsplatte gleichmäßig verwölbt. Dies hat den Nachteil, daß das Schnittgut nicht mehr plan aufliegt, was das Schneidergebnis verschlechtert. Insbesondere gekochte Kartoffeln neigen dadurch zum Brechen der einzelnen Scheiben.The special design of the cutting edge brings about an additional improvement in the cutting result. By connecting the lower guide plate via a film hinge, it is also possible to make this guide plate very rigid. This ensures that it remains completely flat when adjusting the cutting thickness. In contrast, when adjusting the cutting thickness according to DE-AS 27 27 358, the guide plate is evenly warped. This has the disadvantage that the clippings no longer lie flat, which worsens the cutting result. Boiled potatoes in particular tend to break the individual slices.

Die weiteren Ausgestaltungsmerkmale des Filmscharniers dienen dazu, die Lebensdauer zu erhöhen. Es wird mit diesen Maßnahmen erreicht, daß die Abbiegung über eine größere Länge erfolgt, so daß es nicht erforderlich ist, wie normalerweise bei einem Filmscharnier üblich, höherwertiges Material zu verwenden. Es kann das übliche, für die Gemüsereibeherstellung ausreichende Kunststoffmaterial verarbeitet werden.The other design features of the film hinge serve to increase the service life. It is achieved with these measures that the bending takes place over a greater length, so that it is not necessary, as is usually the case with a film hinge, to use higher-quality material. The usual plastic material sufficient for vegetable preservation can be processed.

Durch die weite Rückverlegung des Filmscharniers in den Bereich des Handgriffs wird eine besonders lange Führungsstrecke auf der unteren Führungsplatte erreicht.By moving the film hinge far back into the area of the handle, a particularly long guide distance is achieved on the lower guide plate.

Schließlich ermöglicht der Schieber mit seiner Umlenkführung eine besonders einfache Bedienung der Schnittstärkenverstellung.Finally, the slider with its deflection guide enables particularly easy operation of the cutting thickness adjustment.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im Folgenden an Hand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf ein erfindungsgemäßes Küchengerät,
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht gemäß der Richtung II in Figur 1 teilweise geschnitten sowie den Schieber zur Verstellung zusätzlich aufgeklappt dargestellt,
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt gemäß der Linie III - III nach Figur 1,
  • Fig. 4 einen weiteren Schnitt gemäß der Linie IV - IV in Figur 1 und
  • Fig. 5 das Deteil V in Figur 4 vergrößert.
An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:
  • 1 is a plan view of a kitchen appliance according to the invention,
  • 2 shows a side view partly in section in the direction II in FIG. 1 and also shows the slide open for adjustment,
  • 3 shows a section along the line III-III according to FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 4 shows a further section along the line IV - IV in Figure 1 and
  • Fig. 5 enlarged the detail V in Figure 4.

Ein Rahmen 1 ist einstückig mit einer oberen Führungsplatte 2 und einer unteren Führungsplatte 3 hergestellt. Die obere Führungs-' platte 2 trägt in einem Winkel 4,der kleiner oder gleich 45° ist, bevorzugt 30°, ein Schneidmesser 5. Die Schneide 6 des Schneidmessers 5 ist in Form von spitz aufeinanderstoßenden Kreissegmentstücken 7 ausgeführt. Der Schliff 8 der Schneide 6 liegt nach unten. Am Ende 9 der oberen Führungsplatte 2 sind FlUssigkeitsablaufschlitze 10 vorgesehen.A frame 1 is made in one piece with an upper guide plate 2 and a lower guide plate 3. The upper guide plate 2 carries a cutting knife 5 at an angle 4, which is less than or equal to 45 °, preferably 30 °. The cutting edge 6 of the cutting knife 5 is designed in the form of circular segment pieces 7 which abut one another pointedly. The cut 8 of the cutting edge 6 lies down. Liquid drainage slots 10 are provided at the end 9 of the upper guide plate 2.

Die untere Führungsplatte 3 ist in einen verstellbaren Bereich 11 und in einen starren Bereich 12 unterteilt. Die Trennung der beiden Bereiche 11 und 12 erfolgt durch ein Filmscharnier 13. Das Filmscharnier 13 läuft dabei etwa parallel zum Schneidmesser 5 und ist die einzig formschlüssige Verbindung des verstellbaren Bereiches 11 mit dem Rahmen 1. Der Bereich 11 ist beidseitig durch einen Schlitz 14 und L-förmigen Schlitz 15 vom Rahmen 1 getrennt.The lower guide plate 3 is divided into an adjustable area 11 and a rigid area 12. The two areas 11 and 12 are separated by a film hinge 13. The film hinge 13 runs approximately parallel to the cutting knife 5 and is the only positive connection of the adjustable area 11 to the frame 1. The area 11 is on both sides through a slot 14 and L. -shaped slot 15 separated from the frame 1.

Das Filmscharnier 13 ist durch eine Einschnürung 16 der Materialstärke 17 gebildet. Die übergänge sind dabei jeweils mit einem Radius 18 versehen und gehen in eine zur Oberfläche der Führungsplatte 2 etwa parallel liegenden Verbindungssehne 19 über. Im ausgeführten Beispiel beträgt die Materialstärke 2, der Radius 12, die Verbindungssehne 4 und die verbleibende Materialstärke in der Verbindungssehne 1 mm.The film hinge 13 is formed by a constriction 16 of the material thickness 17. The transitions are each provided with a radius 18 and merge into a connecting chord 19 lying approximately parallel to the surface of the guide plate 2. In the example shown, the material thickness is 2, the radius 12, the connecting chord 4 and the remaining material thickness in the connecting chord is 1 mm.

Zur Verstellung der unteren Führungsplatte 3 ist eine Verstellstange 20 vorgesehen. Sie liegt zwischen zwei senkrecht stehenden Stegen 21 und wird von Durchbrüchen 22 und 23 in den Seitenwänden 24 und 25 des Rahmen 1 geführt. Die Verstellstange 20 ist auf beiden Seiten abgewinkelt und mit jeweils parallel zueinander liegenden Stellschrägen 26 und 27 versehen. Das heißt Punkt 28 liegt auf dem gleichen Level wie Punkt 29 und Punkt 30 auf dem gleichen Level wie Punkt 31. Der Bereich vom Absatz 32 bis Punkt 29 ist plan und liegt an der unteren Führungsplatte an.An adjustment rod 20 is provided for adjusting the lower guide plate 3. It lies between two perpendicular webs 21 and is by openings 22 and 23 in the sides walls 24 and 25 of the frame 1 out. The adjusting rod 20 is angled on both sides and provided with bevels 26 and 27 lying parallel to each other. That means point 28 is on the same level as point 29 and point 30 on the same level as point 31. The area from paragraph 32 to point 29 is flat and lies on the lower guide plate.

Die Stellschräge 27 geht in ein Auge 33 mit Führungsbolzen 34 über. Mittels dieser Führungsbolzen 34 ist die Verstellstange 20 in einer Umlenkführung 35 des Schiebers 36 geführt. Der Schieber 36 ist zweiteilig ausgeführt und auf einen oberen und unteren Führungssteg 37 und 38 aufgeklipst. Diese Führungsstege 37 und 38 laufen parallel zur Seitenwand 25 und sind mit dieser einstückig hergestellt. Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Stellung des Schiebers 36 ergibt die größte Scheibenstärke während die gestrichelt dargestellte Stellung des Schiebers dünne Scheiben ergibt.The setting bevel 27 merges into an eye 33 with guide bolts 34. The adjustment rod 20 is guided in a deflection guide 35 of the slide 36 by means of these guide bolts 34. The slide 36 is made in two parts and clipped onto an upper and lower guide web 37 and 38. These guide webs 37 and 38 run parallel to the side wall 25 and are made in one piece with this. The position of the slider 36 shown in FIG. 1 gives the greatest slice thickness, while the position of the slider shown in broken lines gives thin slices.

Die Seitenwände 24 und 25 gehen etwa rechtwinklig in Auflageflächen 39 und 40 für einen nicht näher dargestellten Resteschieber über. Für den Resteschieber ist an der Rückwand 41 ein Haltehaken 42 angeformt.The side walls 24 and 25 merge approximately at right angles into contact surfaces 39 and 40 for a residual slide, not shown in detail. A holding hook 42 is formed on the rear wall 41 for the residual slide.

Zur vollen Aufnahme der Verstellstange in der Stellung dünn ist die Auflagefläche 39 relativ breit ausgeführt.To fully accommodate the adjustment rod in the thin position, the support surface 39 is made relatively wide.
