Abstract

A device for cutting slices of fruit, vegetables or the like, having a knife-holding plate (3) at the front edge of which a straight or inclined or V-shaped cutting knife (4) is arranged, the knife-holding plate (3) being arranged on two parallel sides in two parallel frame strips (1, 2), arranged substantially perpendicularly to it, at their rear ends, having a supporting plate (7) which can be inserted into guide grooves (5) in the frame strips (1, 2), parallel to the knife-holding plate (3) and at a variable vertical distance from the cutting knife (4). In order to be able to cut slices of virtually any thickness, the supporting plate (7) consists of two parts, the distance between which is adjustable, one part (10) serving to guide the product to be cut and one insertion part (6) serving for insertion into the guide grooves (5). The distance between the parts (10, 6) is adjusted by means of a screw-thread mating assembly (11) or via wedge surfaces. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät zum Schneiden von Obst, Gemüse oder dergleichen in Scheiben mit einer Messerhalteplatte, an deren Vorderkante ein gerade oder schräg angeordnetes oder V-förmiges Schneidmesser angeordnet ist, wobei die Messerhalteplatte an zwei parallelen Seiten in zwei im wesentlichen senkrecht zu ihr angeordneten parallelen Rahmenleisten an deren hinteren Enden angeordnet ist, mit einer in Führungsnuten in den Rahmenleisten parallel zur Messerhalteplatte mit unterschiedlichem Höhenabstand zum Schneidmesser einschiebbaren Auflageplatte.The invention relates to a device for cutting fruit, vegetables or the like into slices with a knife holding plate, on the front edge of which a straight or obliquely arranged or V-shaped cutting knife is arranged, the knife holding plate being arranged on two parallel sides in two substantially perpendicular to it parallel frame strips is arranged at the rear ends thereof, with a support plate which can be inserted in guide grooves in the frame strips parallel to the knife holding plate at different heights from the cutting knife.

Ein derartiges Gerät ist aus der DE-OS 27 31 048 bekannt. Bei diesem Gerät ist sowohl die Messerhalteplatte als auch die Auflageplatte in zwei durch übereinander angeordnete Führungsnuten vorgegebene Stellungen einschiebbar. Hierdurch lassen sich vier unterschiedliche vorgegebene Scheibenstärken einstellen. Dadurch, daß beide Platten aus dem Garät entfernbar sind, muß ein stabiler Rahmen hergestellt werden, was das gesamte Gerät um die notwendige Steifigkeit zu erhalten, konstruktiv aufwendig macht. Hierdurch wird das Gerät auch schwerer, so daß es als Tischgerät eingesetzt wird. Die Scheibenstärke kann auch nicht nach Belieben eingestellt werden.Such a device is known from DE-OS 27 31 048. In this device, both the knife holding plate and the support plate can be inserted into two positions, which are predetermined by guide grooves arranged one above the other. This allows four different predetermined slice thicknesses to be set. Because both plates can be removed from the device, a stable frame has to be produced, which makes the entire device structurally complex in order to maintain the necessary rigidity. This also makes the device heavier so that it can be used as a table-top device. The slice thickness can also not be adjusted at will.

Es ist auch ein ähnliches Gerät bekannt, bei dem die Messerhalteplatte an zwei parallelen Seiten mit zwei im wesentlichen senkrecht zu ihr angeordneten parallelen Rahmenleisten an deren hinteren Enden fest verbunden ist. Die Auflageplatte ist dagegen aus den Rahmenleisten herausziehbar. Eine Änderung der Scheibenstärke ist bei diesen Geräten nur dadurch möglich, daß die Auflageplatte aus den Rahmenleisten herausgezogen wird und gegebenenfalls umgedreht oder durch eine andere Auflageplatte ersetzt wird, bei der der Abstand der Plattenfläche zur Schneidkante des Schneidmessers größer oder kleiner als bei der vorher verwandten Auflageplatte ist. In aller Regel ist jedoch nur eine einzige umdrehbare Führungsplatte für dünne und für dicke Scheiben vorgesehen. Wenn die Scheibenstärke stärker differenziert werden soll, sind eine Vielzahl von Auflageplatten mit unterschiedlichen Abständen zur Schneidkante des jeweiligen Messers bereitzuhalten. Eine Vielzahl derartiger Platten bereitzuhalten ist einerseits kostenintensiv, andererseits erfordert es Aufbewahrungsraum und im Gebrauch ein Suchen nach der richtigen Schnittstärke und dann ein ständiges Auswechseln dieser Führungsplatten, was umständlich ist.A similar device is also known in which the knife holding plate is firmly connected on two parallel sides to two parallel frame strips arranged essentially perpendicular to it at the rear ends thereof. The platen, on the other hand, can be pulled out of the frame strips. A change in the slice thickness is at These devices only possible by pulling the support plate out of the frame strips and, if necessary, turning it over or replacing it with another support plate in which the distance from the plate surface to the cutting edge of the cutting knife is greater or smaller than that of the previously used support plate. As a rule, however, only a single turnable guide plate is provided for thin and thick disks. If the slice thickness is to be differentiated more, a large number of support plates with different distances from the cutting edge of the respective knife must be kept ready. Having a large number of such plates available is costly on the one hand, on the other hand it requires storage space and in use a search for the correct cutting thickness and then a constant replacement of these guide plates, which is cumbersome.

Es sind auch Geräte bekannt, deren untere Führungsplatte in Richtung auf das Messer, das dann in aller Regel senkrecht zur Schneidrichtung und damit zur Längserstreckung des Geräts liegt, freischwebend angeordnet ist, wobei das freischwebende Ende auf einem Exzenter abgestützt ist. Durch die Verstellung des Exzenters kann die Scheibenstärke variiert werden. Übt man keinen gleichmäßigen Druck auf das Schneidgut aus, erhält man entsprechend der Elastizität des freischwebenden Endes der Auflageplatte unterschiedliche Scheibenstärken, was oftmals unerwünscht ist. Bei schräg angeordneten Messern bzw. bei V-Messern, die aus schneidtechnischen Gründen gegenüber gerade angeordneten Messern vorzuziehen sind, verbleibt ein nicht abstützbarer freischwingender Teil, der über die Breite des Schneidguts zu unterschiedlichen Scheibenstärken führt und das Schneiden bei geringen seitlichen Abweichungen vor der geraden Führungslinie erschwert.Devices are also known, the lower guide plate of which is arranged freely floating in the direction of the knife, which is then generally perpendicular to the cutting direction and thus to the longitudinal extent of the device, the free-floating end being supported on an eccentric. The disc thickness can be varied by adjusting the eccentric. If you do not exert even pressure on the material to be cut, different disc thicknesses are obtained depending on the elasticity of the free-floating end of the support plate, which is often undesirable. In the case of obliquely arranged knives or V-knives, which are preferable to straight-lying knives for cutting reasons, there remains an unsupportable free-floating part that leads to different disc thicknesses across the width of the material to be cut and cutting with small lateral deviations in front of the straight guide line difficult.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Gerät der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß damit gleichmäßige Scheiben in beliebiger Stärke schneidbar sind und das dennoch einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist, so daß es auch als Handgerät einsetzbar ist und das zusätzliche Führungsplatten unnötig macht.The object of the invention is to improve a device of the type mentioned in such a way that uniform slices can be cut in any thickness and yet have a simple structure, so that it can also be used as a handheld device and makes the additional guide plates unnecessary.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Gerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung und ihre Vorteile anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezug auf Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt in schematischer Darstellung:

The invention and its advantages are explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to drawings. It shows in a schematic representation:
  • 1 is a plan view of a device for cutting fruit, vegetables or the like into slices with a V-shaped cutting knife,
  • 2 shows a section along line II-II in FIG. 1 on an enlarged scale,
  • 3 is a plan view from below of a two-part support plate with screw thread pairing,
  • Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal section through a two-part support plate with distance adjustment by wedge surfaces.

Ein Gerät zum Schneiden von Obst, Gemüse oder dergleichen in Scheiben weist zwei parallele im wesentlichen senkrecht angeordnete Rahmenteile 1, 2 auf, die mit einer, in der durch einen Pfeil gekennzeichneten Schneidrichtung, hinteren Messerhalteplatte 3 fest miteinander verbunden sind. Am im Schneidrichtung vorderen Ende der Messerhalteplatte 3 ist ein V-förmiges Schneidmesser 4 gegebenenfalls auswechselbar angeordnet. Die Rahmenteile 1, 2 weisen am vorderen Ende des Geräts blinde Führungsnuten 5 (Fig. 2) auf. In die Führungsnuten 5 ist ein Einschiebteil 6 einschiebbar, der eine Auflageplatte 7 trägt. Die Auflageplatte 7 wird seitlich zwischen den Rahmenteilen 1, 2 geführt und weist einen hinteren Abschsnitt 8 auf, der die Kontur des jeweiligen Schneidmessers 4 wiedergibt, wobei in Draufsicht zwischen dem hinteren Abschnitt 8 und dem Schneidmesser 4 ein geringer paralleler Spalt (s. Fig. 1) verbleibt. Die Rahmenleisten 1, 2 können im vorderen Bereich durch eine untere Versteifungsplatte 9, die z.B. auch als Reibe gestaltet sein kann, fest miteinander verbunden werden. In die Versteifungsplatte 9 kann ein nicht dargestellter Haltegriff für das Gerät integriert sein.A device for cutting fruit, vegetables or the like into slices has two parallel, essentially vertically arranged frame parts 1, 2, which have a rear, in the cutting direction indicated by an arrow Knife holding plate 3 are firmly connected. A V-shaped cutting knife 4 is optionally interchangeably arranged at the front end of the knife holding plate 3 in the cutting direction. The frame parts 1, 2 have blind guide grooves 5 (FIG. 2) at the front end of the device. An insertion part 6, which carries a support plate 7, can be inserted into the guide grooves 5. The support plate 7 is guided laterally between the frame parts 1, 2 and has a rear section 8 which reproduces the contour of the respective cutting knife 4, with a small parallel gap in plan view between the rear section 8 and the cutting knife 4 (see FIG. 1) remains. The frame strips 1, 2 can be firmly connected to one another in the front area by a lower stiffening plate 9, which can also be designed, for example, as a grater. A handle (not shown) for the device can be integrated into the stiffening plate 9.

In dem in Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Schiebeteil 6 mit einem die Auflageplatte 7 aufweisenden Teil 10 durch eine Schraubgewindepaarung 11 verbunden. Die Auflageplatte 7 weist auf ihrer Oberfläche parallele Führungsleisten 12 auf. An ihrer Unterseite weist die Auflageplatte 7 einen vorkragenden Zylinder 13 auf, in dessen Innenfläche ein Schraubgewinde eingeschnitten ist. Der Einschiebeteil 6 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel als Schraubmutter 15 gestaltet, deren Außengewinde dem Schraubgewinde 14 des Zylinders 13 entspricht. Dies ermöglicht es, die gegebenenfalls an der unteren Fläche der Auflageplatte 7 im hinteren Abschnitt 8 anzuordnenden Versteifungsrippen 17 mit der kein Gewinde tragenden Außenfläche der Schraubmutter 15 zu verbinden und somit eine besonders hohe Steifigkeit zu erzielen. Die Schraubmutter 15 ist einstückig mit einer im Außenumriß als regelmäßiges Sechseck gestalteten Platte 16 ausgeführt, deren sich jeweils gegenüberliegende Kanten einen Abstand und eine Höhe/Stärke aufweisen, daß sie in die Führungsnuten 5 der Rahmenteile 1, 2 einführbar sind.Selbstverständlich kann auch der Einschiebeteil 6 einen zylindrischen Vorsprung mit innerem Schraubgewinde und die Führungsplatte 7 als Schraubmutter mit entsprechendem Gewinde gestaltet sein.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the sliding part 6 is connected to a part 10 having the support plate 7 by a screw thread pairing 11. The support plate 7 has parallel guide strips 12 on its surface. On its underside, the support plate 7 has a projecting cylinder 13, in the inner surface of which a screw thread is cut. The insertion part 6 is designed in the exemplary embodiment as a screw nut 15, the external thread of which corresponds to the screw thread 14 of the cylinder 13. This makes it possible to connect the stiffening ribs 17, which may be arranged on the lower surface of the support plate 7 in the rear section 8, to the non-threaded outer surface of the screw nut 15 and thus to achieve a particularly high degree of rigidity. The nut 15 is in one piece with a regular in the outer contour Hexagon-shaped plate 16, the opposite edges of which have a distance and a height / thickness that they can be inserted into the guide grooves 5 of the frame parts 1, 2. Of course, the insertion part 6 can also have a cylindrical projection with an internal screw thread and the guide plate 7 be designed as a screw nut with a corresponding thread.

Es ist auch möglich, die Schraubmutter 15 bzw. den Zylinder 13 mit äußerem Schraubgewinde 14 lösbar mit der Auflageplatte 7, z.B. durch Bajonett- oder Schwalbenschwanzverbindung lösbar miteinander zu verbinden, um gegebenenfalls die Auflageplatte 7 gegen eine andere Auflageplatte, die beispielsweise senkrechte Messer zur Erzeugung von Streifen aufweist, auszuwechseln, wodurch die Dicke der Streifen beliebig variierbar wäre.It is also possible to detachably screw nut 15 or cylinder 13 with external screw thread 14 with support plate 7, e.g. to be releasably connected to one another by a bayonet or dovetail connection in order, if necessary, to replace the support plate 7 with another support plate which, for example, has vertical knives for producing strips, as a result of which the thickness of the strips could be varied as desired.

Bei der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsvariante weisen der Einschiebeteil 6 und die Auflageplatte 7 gegeneinander gerichtete Keilflächen 18, einen dazwischen angeordneten verschiebbaren Keil 19 mit einem nach außen geführten Griffteil 20 sowie nur geradlinige Auf- und Abbewegungen ermöglichende Führungen 21 sowie den Einschiebeteil mit der Führungsplatte verbindende vorgespannte Federn 22 auf.In the embodiment variant shown in FIG. 4, the insertion part 6 and the support plate 7 have wedge surfaces 18 directed towards one another, a displaceable wedge 19 arranged therebetween with an outwardly directed handle part 20 and guides 21 which only permit straight up and down movements and the insertion part with the guide plate connecting prestressed springs 22.

Um die Schnittstärke eines Schneidgutes einstellen zu können, wird bei einer Ausführung mittels einer Schraubgewindepaarung der Einschiebeteil 6 mit der Auflageplatte 7 herausgezogen und durch relatives Verdrehen in der einen oder anderen Richtung der Abstand zwischen dem Einschiebeteil 6 und der Auflageplatte 7 vergrößert bzw. verkleinert. Die Abstandsverstellung ist abhängig von der Steigungshöhe der Schraubgewindepaarung. Um bestimmte Einstellabstände einstellen zu können, können Markierungen vorgesehen sein, wie sie beispeilsweise der Fig. 3 zu entnehmen sind. Nach der relativen Abstandsverstellung zwischen Einschiebeteil 6 und Auflageplatte 7 wird der hintere Abschnitt 8 der Auflageplatte 7 zwischen die Rahmenteile 1, 2 eingeführt und der Einschiebeteil 6 so ausgerichtet, daß er mit zwei seiner parallelen Führungskanten in die Führungsnuten 5 der Rahmenteile 1, 2 bis zum den richtigen Abstand zum Schneidmesser 4 gewährleistenden Anschlag (Ende der Führungsnuten 5) eingeschoben werden kann.In order to be able to adjust the cutting thickness of a material to be cut, in one embodiment the insertion part 6 with the support plate 7 is pulled out by means of a screw thread pairing and the distance between the insertion part 6 and the support plate 7 is increased or decreased by relative rotation in one direction or the other. The distance adjustment depends on the pitch of the screw thread pairing. In order to be able to set certain setting intervals, markings be provided, as can be seen, for example, in FIG. 3. After the relative distance adjustment between the insertion part 6 and the support plate 7, the rear section 8 of the support plate 7 is inserted between the frame parts 1, 2 and the insertion part 6 is aligned so that it has two of its parallel guide edges in the guide grooves 5 of the frame parts 1, 2 to the correct distance to the cutting knife 4 ensuring stop (end of the guide grooves 5) can be inserted.

Bei dem in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Keil 19 mittels des Griffteils 20 nach vorne bzw. nach hinten verschoben und gewährleistet somit eine Abstandsverstellung des Einschiebeteils 6 relativ zur Auflageplatte 7. Aufgrund der Reibung der Keilflächen aufeinander, die gegebenenfalls durch Antirutschmaßnahmen verstärkt werden kann, und durch die vorgespannten Federn 22 bleibt der eingestellte Abstand während der Benutzung des Geräts solange erhalten, bis der Keilschieber 19 abermals verschoben wird. Gegebenenfalls kann der Keilschieber 19 in verschiedenen Stellungen durch eine Arretiervorrichtung festlegbar sein (nicht dargestellt).In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the wedge 19 is displaced forwards or backwards by means of the handle part 20 and thus ensures a distance adjustment of the insertion part 6 relative to the support plate 7. Because of the friction of the wedge surfaces on one another, which can optionally be reinforced by anti-slip measures , and by the biased springs 22, the set distance is maintained during use of the device until the wedge slide 19 is moved again. If necessary, the wedge slide 19 can be fixed in different positions by a locking device (not shown).
