Definitions
- the present invention relates to electric household appliances for cutting fruit, vegetables and similar food products into small sticks or chunks of variable-thickness, comprising the features of the pre-characterising portion of the main claim.
- the invention concerns an electric household appliance of the so-called multi-function type in that it can use different implements, tools or devices for performing corresponding functions such as, for example, mincing, slicing, cutting squeezing, centrifuging, blending and the like.
- a tool which, in most cases, comprises a plurality of blades fixed to the disc (or associated with the disc) and projecting from one face thereof, the blades being aligned radially on this face.
- Each blade has an essentially right-angled shape, with a portion perpendicular to the disc and a portion substantially parallel thereto. The blade portions perpendicular to the disc cut the product into strips, while the blade portions parallel to the disc further cut the strips as they are produced.
- the transverse dimensions of the small sticks or chunks of product obtained are determined by the length of the blade portions perpendicular to the disc and by the mutual spacing in their radial alignment on the disc.
- the technical problem which it is intended to solve by this invention is that of providing an electric household appliance of the type under consideration, having structural and functional characteristics such as to overcome the disadvantage cited above with reference to the prior art.
- a particular embodiment of the invention includes a slicing blade which projects laterally and radially with respect to a hub and is fixed coaxially for rotation with the motor-driven shaft, the slicing blade being substantially complanar with the end of the hopper-duct and rotating edgewise thereto.
- the disc with the slots through which the blades of the cutting tool pass is adjustably positioned between the cutting tool and the slicing blade.
- an electric household appliance comprises a box-like body 1 with one part 2 which is intended to receive a drive unit and its accessories, not shown since they are entirely conventional, and is alongside an essentially base providing support part 3.
- a substantially cylindrical projection 5 In the centre of the upper wall 4 of the base 3 is a substantially cylindrical projection 5 having an axial through-hole 6.
- a motor-driven shaft 7 is rotatably supported in the hole with the interposition of bearings, schematically indicated 8.
- a container 9 is intended to rest on the base 3 and has a bottom 10 provided centrally with a tubular part 11 which extends axially inwardly of the container itself.
- the tubular portion 11 coaxially surrounds the motor-driven shaft 7 which thus extends axially within the container.
- the container 9 can be closed by means of a lid 12 formed with a duct 13 which, when the lid is fitted on the container 9, extends eccentrically relative to the motor-driven shaft 7 and has an end 14 which opens into the container 9.
- the duct 13 is used for passing fruit, vegetables or similar food products which are to be cut into small sticks or chunks into the container 9. For this reason, the duct 13 will be called the hopper-duct in the following description and in the subsequent claims.
- a shaft 15 having an axial through-hole is fitted axially onto the portion of the motor-driven shaft 7 which project from the base 3, and is fixed for rotation with the motor-driven shaft, for example, by means of a splined coupling 16 or other similar coupling.
- the shaft 15 has an upper portion 17 extending into the container 9 above the tubular portion 11 thereof.
- a disc 25 ( Figures 4 and 5), also preferably of synthetic, atoxic plastics material, is provided at its centre with a tubular hub 26 by means of which the disc 25 is fixed coaxially for rotation to the portion 17 of the shaft 15 in a position between a cutting tool 42 and the open end 14 of the hopper-duct 13.
- the disc 25 can also be adjusted in its position along the axis of rotation of the shaft 15.
- the hub 26 of the disc 25 is mounted on the portion 17 of the shaft 15 by means of a splined coupling, schematically indicated 27.
- the hub 26 of the disc 25 is engaged in a cylindrical cavity 28 formed coaxially in the upper end of the portion 17 of the shaft 15, the splined coupling being formed in the cavity.
- the disc 25 also defines, in an appropriate position, a large shaped aperture 30 for allowing the product cut into small sticks or chunks to pass into the bottom 10 of the container 9 ( Figure 6).
- a slicing blade 31 has an annular portion 32 constituting essentially a flattened hub by means of which the blade is fixed for rotation with the motor-driven shaft 7.
- four columns 34 ( Figures 2 and 3) are formed or otherwise fixed to the portion 17 of the hollow shaft 15 in positions diametrally opposite each other so that they extend parallel to the axis of the portion 17 and project beyond the cylindrical cavity 28 formed therein. It should be noted that the small columns 34 also pass beyond the disc 25 through four corresponding apertures 35 formed therein ( Figure 4).
- the flattened hub 32 of the slicing blade 31 is fixed to the upper ends of the columns 34, for example, by means of screws schematically indicated 33. ( Figure 6).
- the slicing blade 31 extends so as to be coplanar with the open end 14 of the hopper-duct 13 and rotates edgewise thereto.
- a cutting tool 42 ( Figure 7) comprises a plurality of blades each indicated 43, fixed onto an arm 44. More particularly ( Figure 6) the blades 43 are located along a curved line with a profile substantially the same as the cutting profile of the slicing blade 31, which is a profile substantially in the form of a portion of a spiral with the convex side facing in the direction of rotation. Thus, the blades 43 come into contact with the product to be cut one after the other and avoid exerting a tearing effect on the product, which could occur if all the blades of a cutting tool contact the product simultaneously.
- the disc 25 ( Figure 6) will have a line of slots 46 corresponding to the blades 43 of the cutting tool 42.
- the arm 44 is fixed so that it projects laterally from, or is formed in one piece with, a hollow hub 45 from which the arm 44 extends radially.
- a radial pin 22 On the inner wall of the hub 45 is formed or otherwise fixed a radial pin 22 by means of which the hub may be fixed coaxially and releasably by bayonet engagement to the upper portion 17 of the shaft 15, with which it is thus locked for rotation.
- the coupling between the hub 45 and the shaft 15 may be achieved by other means entirely equivalent to bayonet engagement, which are well known in this branch of the art.
- the arm 44 is spaced from the end 14 of the hopper-duct 13 which opens into the container 9 by a distance equal to the length of the blades 43. Consequently, the upper ends of the blades are very close to the open end 14 of the hopper-duct 13.
- the angular position of the slicing blade 31 and the cutting tool 42 relative to the axis of rotation of the motor-driven shaft 7 is chosen so that the blades 43 of the cutting tool have an earlier impact on the product to be cut than the slicing blade 31.
- a knob 36 rests so as to be freely rotatable on the flattened hub 32, and the upper portion 37 of a shaft, generally indicated 38, extending coaxially with the motor driven shaft 7 is fixed axially to the knob 36.
- the shaft 38 has a lower threaded portion 39 screwed into a threaded hole 40 formed axially in a metal insert 41 embedded coaxially in the hub 26 of the disc 25.
- Rotation of the knob 36 causes the screwing or unscrewing of the threaded portion 39 of the shaft 38 relative to the threaded hole 40 and hence causes a movement of the disc 25 along the axis of the motor-driven shaft 7. Consequently, the disc may be located at any position between the cutting device 42 and the slicing blade 31.
- the main advantage of this invention is that of enabling the thickness of the small sticks or chunks of food product cut by the electrica appliance desribed above to be varied at will. Indeed, by operating the knob 36, one can vary the position of the disc 25 relative to the open end 14 of the hopper-duct 13 and vary the thickness of food product which projects from the hopper into the container 9 and rests or bears on the disc 25. It should be noted that the adjustment of the position of the disc 25 occurs without any adjustment of the portion of the cutting tool 42 which remains locked in its intial predetermined position on the hollow shaft 15.
- the slicing blade 31 and the disc 25 constitute the tools for the function of slicing food products with the possibility of varying the thickness of the slices obtained. Consequently, in such a multi-function electric appliance it is possible, with only three accessories (the cutting tool 42, the disc 25 and the slicing blade 31) to carry out two basic functions: that of slicing and that of cutting into small sticks or chunks of variable thicknesses.
- a further, not inconsiderable advantage is constituted by the fact that the aforementioned adjustable positioning of the disc 25 can be achieved by operating a knob which is readily accessible upon the simple removal of the lid 12.

Description
- The present invention relates to electric household appliances for cutting fruit, vegetables and similar food products into small sticks or chunks of variable-thickness, comprising the features of the pre-characterising portion of the main claim.
- More particularly, the invention concerns an electric household appliance of the so-called multi-function type in that it can use different implements, tools or devices for performing corresponding functions such as, for example, mincing, slicing, cutting squeezing, centrifuging, blending and the like.
- With regard to electric appliances of this type, it is known that the present trend is to give them the greatest number of possible functions, widening the range of accessory tools. It is also known that one of the functions required most particularly from such electric appliances is that of cutting fruit, vegetables and similar food products into small sticks or chunks.
- For such a function, it is necessary for the portion of food product to be cut between the disc and the end of the hopper-duct which opens into the container to be cut firstly into strips substantially perpendicular to the disc and then for these strips to be cut again in line with the end of the hopper-duct.
- For this purpose, general use is made of a tool which, in most cases, comprises a plurality of blades fixed to the disc (or associated with the disc) and projecting from one face thereof, the blades being aligned radially on this face. Each blade has an essentially right-angled shape, with a portion perpendicular to the disc and a portion substantially parallel thereto. The blade portions perpendicular to the disc cut the product into strips, while the blade portions parallel to the disc further cut the strips as they are produced.
- Thus, with each blade, the portion perpendicular to that disc must have an "earlier" impact on the product to be cut than that of the portion (of the blade) parallel to the disc.
- Moreover, the transverse dimensions of the small sticks or chunks of product obtained are determined by the length of the blade portions perpendicular to the disc and by the mutual spacing in their radial alignment on the disc.
- Consequently, in order to produce small sticks or chunks of different types with different transverse dimensions, it is necessary to vary the length and/or the distance between the blade portions perpendicular to the disc. Thus, it is necesssary to provide as many tools (discs plus cutting blades) as the number of types of small sticks or chunks of product which are likely to be made. Moreover, it is necessary for each tool (particularly the disc part thereof) and the motor-driven shaft of the appliance to be formed such as to allow the disc to be positioned at a suitable distance from the end of the hopper-duct which opens into the container of the appliance in question.
- In order to overcome the technical and economical disadvantages presented by the cutting tools of this type, in DE-A 2227794 it has been proposed to provide a plurality of blades fixed in a comb-like manner to an arm structurally independent of the disc. The disc comprises a plurality of slots each of which is passed through by a corresponding blade of the cutting tool. Adjusting the position of the disc along the shaft it is possible to obtain small sticks or chunks of any desired thickness.
- With a cutting tool of this comb-like type the blades come into contact with the product simultaneously exerting a substantial tearing effect on the product.
- In view of the above, the technical problem which it is intended to solve by this invention is that of providing an electric household appliance of the type under consideration, having structural and functional characteristics such as to overcome the disadvantage cited above with reference to the prior art.
- This problem is resolved by an electric household appliance according to the main claim 1.
- A particular embodiment of the invention includes a slicing blade which projects laterally and radially with respect to a hub and is fixed coaxially for rotation with the motor-driven shaft, the slicing blade being substantially complanar with the end of the hopper-duct and rotating edgewise thereto.
- Furthermore the disc with the slots through which the blades of the cutting tool pass is adjustably positioned between the cutting tool and the slicing blade.
- The characteristics and advantages will be illustrated by the description of an embodiment of an electric household appliance according to the invention given below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows, in section, an electric appliance according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal section showing a detail of the electric appliance of Figure 1 on an enlarged scale;
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the detail of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a plan view of a furttfer detail of the machine of Figure 1;
- Figure 5 is a section taken on the line V-V of Figure 4;
- Figure 6 is a schematic view of the basic components of the appliance of Figure 1 for cutting food products of the type considered into small sticks or chunks;
- Figure 7 is a schematic side view of a cuttting tool according to Figure 6.
- With reference to the drawings, an electric household appliance according to the invention comprises a box-like body 1 with one part 2 which is intended to receive a drive unit and its accessories, not shown since they are entirely conventional, and is alongside an essentially base providing
support part 3. In the centre of theupper wall 4 of thebase 3 is a substantiallycylindrical projection 5 having an axial through-hole 6. A motor-drivenshaft 7 is rotatably supported in the hole with the interposition of bearings, schematically indicated 8. - A
container 9 is intended to rest on thebase 3 and has abottom 10 provided centrally with atubular part 11 which extends axially inwardly of the container itself. When thecontainer 9 is located and locked on thebase 3 by conventional means, not shown, thetubular portion 11 coaxially surrounds the motor-drivenshaft 7 which thus extends axially within the container. - The
container 9 can be closed by means of alid 12 formed with aduct 13 which, when the lid is fitted on thecontainer 9, extends eccentrically relative to the motor-drivenshaft 7 and has anend 14 which opens into thecontainer 9. Theduct 13 is used for passing fruit, vegetables or similar food products which are to be cut into small sticks or chunks into thecontainer 9. For this reason, theduct 13 will be called the hopper-duct in the following description and in the subsequent claims. - A
shaft 15 having an axial through-hole is fitted axially onto the portion of the motor-drivenshaft 7 which project from thebase 3, and is fixed for rotation with the motor-driven shaft, for example, by means of asplined coupling 16 or other similar coupling. Theshaft 15 has anupper portion 17 extending into thecontainer 9 above thetubular portion 11 thereof. - A disc 25 (Figures 4 and 5), also preferably of synthetic, atoxic plastics material, is provided at its centre with a
tubular hub 26 by means of which thedisc 25 is fixed coaxially for rotation to theportion 17 of theshaft 15 in a position between acutting tool 42 and theopen end 14 of the hopper-duct 13. Thedisc 25 can also be adjusted in its position along the axis of rotation of theshaft 15. For this purpose, thehub 26 of thedisc 25 is mounted on theportion 17 of theshaft 15 by means of a splined coupling, schematically indicated 27. In accordance with a preferred embodiment which is clearly not limiting, thehub 26 of thedisc 25 is engaged in acylindrical cavity 28 formed coaxially in the upper end of theportion 17 of theshaft 15, the splined coupling being formed in the cavity. - The
disc 25 also defines, in an appropriate position, a largeshaped aperture 30 for allowing the product cut into small sticks or chunks to pass into thebottom 10 of the container 9 (Figure 6). - A
slicing blade 31 has anannular portion 32 constituting essentially a flattened hub by means of which the blade is fixed for rotation with the motor-drivenshaft 7. For this purpose, in accordance with one preferred embodiment, four columns 34 (Figures 2 and 3) are formed or otherwise fixed to theportion 17 of thehollow shaft 15 in positions diametrally opposite each other so that they extend parallel to the axis of theportion 17 and project beyond thecylindrical cavity 28 formed therein. It should be noted that thesmall columns 34 also pass beyond thedisc 25 through fourcorresponding apertures 35 formed therein (Figure 4). Theflattened hub 32 of theslicing blade 31 is fixed to the upper ends of thecolumns 34, for example, by means of screws schematically indicated 33. (Figure 6). - The
slicing blade 31 extends so as to be coplanar with theopen end 14 of the hopper-duct 13 and rotates edgewise thereto. - A cutting tool 42 (Figure 7) comprises a plurality of blades each indicated 43, fixed onto an
arm 44. More particularly (Figure 6) theblades 43 are located along a curved line with a profile substantially the same as the cutting profile of theslicing blade 31, which is a profile substantially in the form of a portion of a spiral with the convex side facing in the direction of rotation. Thus, theblades 43 come into contact with the product to be cut one after the other and avoid exerting a tearing effect on the product, which could occur if all the blades of a cutting tool contact the product simultaneously. - Clearly, the disc 25 (Figure 6) will have a line of
slots 46 corresponding to theblades 43 of thecutting tool 42. - The
arm 44 is fixed so that it projects laterally from, or is formed in one piece with, ahollow hub 45 from which thearm 44 extends radially. On the inner wall of thehub 45 is formed or otherwise fixed aradial pin 22 by means of which the hub may be fixed coaxially and releasably by bayonet engagement to theupper portion 17 of theshaft 15, with which it is thus locked for rotation. - Clearly, the coupling between the
hub 45 and the shaft 15 (that it so say, the coupling between thecutting tool 42 and the motor-driven shaft 7) may be achieved by other means entirely equivalent to bayonet engagement, which are well known in this branch of the art. - It should be noted that, with this coupling, the
arm 44 is spaced from theend 14 of the hopper-duct 13 which opens into thecontainer 9 by a distance equal to the length of theblades 43. Consequently, the upper ends of the blades are very close to theopen end 14 of the hopper-duct 13. - It should be noted in particular that the angular position of the slicing
blade 31 and thecutting tool 42 relative to the axis of rotation of the motor-drivenshaft 7 is chosen so that theblades 43 of the cutting tool have an earlier impact on the product to be cut than the slicingblade 31. - A
knob 36 rests so as to be freely rotatable on theflattened hub 32, and theupper portion 37 of a shaft, generally indicated 38, extending coaxially with the motor drivenshaft 7 is fixed axially to theknob 36. Theshaft 38 has a lower threadedportion 39 screwed into a threadedhole 40 formed axially in ametal insert 41 embedded coaxially in thehub 26 of thedisc 25. - Rotation of the
knob 36 causes the screwing or unscrewing of the threadedportion 39 of theshaft 38 relative to the threadedhole 40 and hence causes a movement of thedisc 25 along the axis of the motor-drivenshaft 7. Consequently, the disc may be located at any position between thecutting device 42 and theslicing blade 31. - The main advantage of this invention is that of enabling the thickness of the small sticks or chunks of food product cut by the electrica appliance desribed above to be varied at will. Indeed, by operating the
knob 36, one can vary the position of thedisc 25 relative to theopen end 14 of the hopper-duct 13 and vary the thickness of food product which projects from the hopper into thecontainer 9 and rests or bears on thedisc 25. It should be noted that the adjustment of the position of thedisc 25 occurs without any adjustment of the portion of thecutting tool 42 which remains locked in its intial predetermined position on thehollow shaft 15. - Another advantage becomes evident when the electric appliance described above is of the multi-function type. Indeed, in this case, the
slicing blade 31 and the disc 25 (still being adjustably positionable relative to the axis of the motor-driven shaft 7) constitute the tools for the function of slicing food products with the possibility of varying the thickness of the slices obtained. Consequently, in such a multi-function electric appliance it is possible, with only three accessories (the cuttingtool 42, thedisc 25 and the slicing blade 31) to carry out two basic functions: that of slicing and that of cutting into small sticks or chunks of variable thicknesses. - A further, not inconsiderable advantage is constituted by the fact that the aforementioned adjustable positioning of the
disc 25 can be achieved by operating a knob which is readily accessible upon the simple removal of thelid 12.
