Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schneidemaschine für Lebensmittel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a food cutting machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei Schneidemaschinen der vorgenannten Art kann in der Regel der Abstand der Anschlagplatte von der Schneidebene durch eine als Drehknauf ausgeführte Handhabe verstellt werden, die in der Regel auf der von der Schneidgutauflage abgewandten Seite an der Anschlagplatte angebracht ist. Weiterhin weisen die bekannten Schneidemaschinen eine Schalteinheit auf, mittels der die Schneidemaschine ein- bzw. ausgeschaltet werden kann. Diese Schalteinheiten sind zumeist in der Nähe des Maschinengehäuses der Schneidemaschine untergebracht und zwar in der Regel an einer als Schlitten oder Profil ausgeführten Schneidgutauflage. Im ungünstigsten Fall befindet sich die Schalteinheit auf der der Handhabe diagonal entgegengesetzten Seite der Schneidemaschine. Der Benutzer kann also nicht gleichzeitig die Handhabe betätigen und die Schneidemaschine ein- und ausschalten, weil gleichzeitig auch noch in der Regel das Schneidgut an dem Schneidmesser vorbeigeführt werden muß.In cutting machines of the aforementioned type usually the distance of the stop plate from the cutting plane can be adjusted by a handle designed as a knob, which is usually mounted on the side facing away from the Schneidgutauflage on the stop plate. Furthermore, the known cutting machines on a switching unit, by means of which the cutting machine can be switched on or off. These switching units are usually housed in the vicinity of the machine housing of the cutting machine, and usually on a run as a slide or profile Schneidgutauflage. In the worst case, the switching unit is located on the handle diagonally opposite side of the cutting machine. The user can therefore not simultaneously operate the handle and the cutting machine on and off, because at the same time as well as the cut material must be passed to the cutting blade at the same time.

Weiterhin gibt es im Stand der Technik Schneidemaschinen, bei denen die Anschlagplatte gegenüber der Schneidebene des Schneidmessers festgelegt werden kann. Derartige Verriegelungsmöglichkeiten sind beispielsweise an das Abnehmen oder Abklappen des Schneidgutschlittens gekoppelt und in der Regel nicht separat bedienbar.Furthermore, there are cutting machines in the prior art, in which the stop plate relative to the cutting plane of the cutting blade can be determined. Such locking options are coupled for example to the removal or folding of the sliced product and usually not operated separately.

Aus der CH 396 673 A ist eine Schneidemaschine der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Die darin beschriebene Schneidemaschine umfasst eine Handhabe zur Verstellung des Abstands der Anschlagplatte von der Schneidebene des Schneidmessers, um die Scheibendicke des abgeschnittenen Schneidguts zu verändern. In diese Handhabe ist ein Ein- und Ausschalter integriert ist. Die Handhabe mit dem Ein- und Ausschalter ist an dem Maschinengehäuse angeordnet, der den Motor der Schneidemaschine beinhaltet.From CH 396 673 A a cutting machine of the type mentioned is known. The cutting machine described therein comprises a handle for adjusting the distance of the stop plate from the cutting plane of the cutting blade to change the slice thickness of the cut material to be cut. In this handle, an on-off switch is integrated. The handle with the input and Breaker is arranged on the machine housing, which includes the motor of the cutting machine.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE 83 03 414 U eine Schneidemaschine bekannt, auf der auf der von der Schneidgutauflage abgewandten Seite der Anschlagplatte eine Handhabe zur Verstellung des Abstands der Anschlagplatte von der Schneidebene des Schneidmessers umfasst. In diese Handhabe ist eine Verriegelung integriert, mittels der die Verstellfunktion der Handhabe blockiert werden kann.Furthermore, from DE 83 03 414 U a cutting machine is known, on which on the side facing away from the Schneidgutauflage side of the stop plate comprises a handle for adjusting the distance of the stop plate of the cutting plane of the cutting blade. In this handle, a lock is integrated, by means of which the adjustment function of the handle can be blocked.

Das der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problem ist die Schaffung einer Schneidemaschine der eingangs genannten Art, die einfacher bedient werden kann.The problem underlying the present invention is the provision of a cutting machine of the type mentioned, which can be operated more easily.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schneidemaschine der eingangs genannten Art mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.This is inventively achieved by a cutting machine of the type mentioned above with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dabei ist die Handhabe auf der von der Schneidgutauflage abgewandten Seite der Anschlagplatte angebracht und die Schneidgutauflage als Profil ausgeführt, durch das elektrische Zuführungen geführt sind, die ein von der Schalteinheit umfasstes Schaltmittel mit dem Motor bzw. der Spannungsversorgung verbinden. Weiterhin umfasst die Handhabe die Schalteinheit, mittels der die Schneidemaschine ein- bzw. ausgeschaltet werden kann. Durch die Zusammenfassung der Schalteinheit zum Ein- und Ausschalten der Schneidemaschine und der Abstandseinstellung der Anschlagplatte von der Schneidebene in der Handhabe ergibt sich eine einfache Bedienung der Schneidemaschine. Der Benutzer kann mittels der Handhabe die Dicke des geschnittenen Schneidguts wählen bzw. ändern und am gleichen Ort die Maschine ein- oder ausschalten. Dazu kann die Handhabe beispielsweise einen Drehknauf umfassen, durch dessen Drehen der Abstand der Anschlagplatte von der Schneidebene des Schneidmessers eingestellt werden kann.In this case, the handle is mounted on the side facing away from the Schneidgutauflage side of the stop plate and the Schneidgutauflage designed as a profile, are guided by the electrical leads, which connect a switching means comprising the switching unit with the motor or the power supply. Furthermore, the handle comprises the switching unit, by means of which the cutting machine can be switched on or off. By combining the switching unit for switching on and off the cutting machine and the distance adjustment of the stop plate of the cutting plane in the handle results in a simple operation of the cutting machine. By means of the handle, the user can select or change the thickness of the cut material to be cut and switch the machine on or off at the same location. For this purpose, the handle may for example comprise a rotary knob, by the rotation of the distance of the stop plate can be adjusted by the cutting plane of the cutting blade.

Zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Handhabe einen Verriegelungsschalter umfaßt. Durch den Verriegelungsschalter kann die Anschlagplatte gegenüber der Schneideebene des Schneidmessers festgelegt werden, insbesondere etwa in der Schneideebene. Dazu kann die gewindeförmig ansteigende Kreisringfläche ein Verriegelungsloch aufweisen, wobei gleichzeitig der Verriegelungsschalter einen Verriegelungsstift umfaßt, der durch Verriegeln des Verriegelungsschalters in das Verriegelungsloch eingeschoben werden kann.In addition, it can be provided that the handle comprises a locking switch. By the locking switch, the stop plate relative to the cutting plane of the cutting blade can be set, in particular approximately in the cutting plane. For this purpose, the thread-like rising annular surface may have a locking hole, wherein at the same time the locking switch comprises a locking pin which can be inserted by locking the locking switch in the locking hole.

Vorteilhafterweise kann vorgesehen sein, daß durch den Verriegelungsschalter die Betätigung der Schalteinheit verhindert werden kann, so daß die Schneidemaschine nicht eingeschaltet werden kann. Das Verriegeln des Verriegelungsschalters kann also gleichzeitig zwei Funktionen erfüllen, nämlich zum einen die Anschlagplatte in einer Stellung zu verriegeln, in der das Kreismesser nicht zugänglich ist, und weiterhin die Schalteinheit derart blockieren, daß die Schneidemaschine bzw. der Messermotor nicht eingeschaltet werden können.Advantageously, it can be provided that the operation of the switching unit can be prevented by the locking switch, so that the cutting machine can not be turned on. The locking of the lock switch can therefore simultaneously fulfill two functions, namely to lock the stop plate in a position in which the circular blade is not accessible, and further block the switching unit such that the cutting machine or the blade motor can not be turned on.

Zu diesem Zweck kann der Verriegelungsschalter einen Verriegelungsstift umfassen, der durch Verriegeln des Verriegelungsschalters in eine Position an der der Innenseite des Gehäuseteils zugewandten Seite des Befestigungsabschnitts oder des mit dem Befestigungsabschnitt verbundenen Abschnitts des Gehäuseteils überführt wird, so daß kein Teil der Schalteinheit gegen den Auslösestift gedrückt werden kann. Vorzugsweise weist der Verriegelungsschalter einen außerhalb des Gehäuseteils angeordneten Abschnitt auf, durch dessen Bewegung der Verriegelungsschalter ver- bzw. entriegelt werden kann, nämlich insbesondere dadurch, daß die beiden Verriegelungsstifte in die vorgenannten Positionen verschoben werden.For this purpose, the locking switch may comprise a locking pin, which is transferred by locking the locking switch in a position on the inside of the housing part facing side of the mounting portion or connected to the mounting portion portion of the housing part, so that no part of the switching unit pressed against the trigger pin can be. Preferably, the locking switch has a portion arranged outside of the housing part, by the movement of the locking switch can be locked or unlocked, namely in particular by the fact that the two locking pins are moved to the aforementioned positions.

Vorzugsweise ist in dem Drehknauf eine gewindeförmig ansteigende Kreisringfläche vorgesehen, an der ein mit der Schneidgutauflage verbundener Hebel anliegen kann. Somit wird durch Verdrehen des Drehknaufs der Hebel bewegt und damit die Stellung der Anschlagplatte gegenüber der Schneidgutauflage eingestellt.Preferably, a thread-like rising annular surface is provided in the rotary knob, on which a connected to the Schneidgutauflage lever can rest. Thus, the lever is moved by turning the knob and thus set the position of the stop plate against the Schneidgutauflage.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Schaltmittel als Subminiaturschalter ausgeführt. Vorzugsweise weist das Schaltmittel einen Auslösestift auf, wobei bei in das Schaltmittel hereingedrücktem Auslösestift die Schneidemaschine einschaltet ist. Die Handhabe kann vorteilhafterweise ein Gehäuseteil umfassen, in dem das Schaltmittel aufgenommen ist, wobei die Schalteinheit weiterhin einen Betätigungsabschnitt umfassen kann, wobei durch Druck von außen auf den Betätigungsabschnitt der Betätigungsabschnitt oder ein mit diesem verbundener Abschnitt des Gehäuseteils in dessen Inneres gedrückt werden kann, wodurch ein Teil der Schalteinheit gegen den Auslösestift gedrückt werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann durch Betätigen des Betätigungsabschnittes die Schneidemaschine eingeschaltet werden, wobei sowohl ein Tastbetrieb als auch ein Dauerbetrieb möglich ist. Der Tastbetrieb kann dadurch realisiert werden, daß die Bewegung des Betätigungsabschnitts bzw. des mit ihm verbundenen Abschnitts des Gehäuseteils gegen die Kraft eines Federmittels erfolgt. Der Dauerbetrieb kann dadurch realisiert werden, daß der Befestigungsabschnitt oder ein mit diesem verbundener Abschnitt des Gehäuseteils in einer Stellung verrastbar ist, in der von einem Teil der Schalteinheit der Auslösestift in das Schaltmittel gedrückt wird. Durch das Hereindrücken des Auslösestifts in das Schaltmittel wird die Schneidemaschine dauerhaft eingeschaltet bis der Befestigungsabschnitt oder der mit ihm verbundene Abschnitt des Gehäuseteils aus der vorgenannten Stellung entrastet wird.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the switching means is designed as a subminiature switch. Preferably, the switching means comprises a trigger pin, wherein in case of pressed in the switching means trigger pin, the cutting machine is turned on. The handle may advantageously comprise a housing part in which the switching means is received, wherein the switching unit may further comprise an actuating portion, wherein by pressure from the outside of the actuating portion of the actuating portion or a portion of the housing part connected thereto can be pressed into its interior, whereby a part of the switching unit can be pressed against the release pin. In this way, by actuating the operating section, the cutting machine can be switched on, with both a touch operation and a continuous operation is possible. The tactile operation can be realized in that the movement of the actuating portion or its associated portion of the housing part takes place against the force of a spring means. The continuous operation can be realized in that the attachment portion or a connected thereto portion of the housing part can be latched in a position in which is pressed by a part of the switching unit, the release pin in the switching means. By pushing in the release pin in the switching means, the cutting machine is switched on permanently until the mounting portion or its associated portion of the housing part is unlocked from the aforementioned position.

Wie aus Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, umfaßt eine erfindungsgemäße Schneidemaschine ein Profil 1, das als Schneidgutauflage dienen kann sowie eine Anschlagplatte 2, ein Kreismesser 3 und eine dieses zumindest teilweise umgebende Messerkassette 4, die das Kreismesser 3 im Bereich der Anschlagplatte 2 freiläßt. Die erfindungsgemäße Schneidemaschine umfaßt weiterhin ein Maschinengehäuse 5, in dem der das Kreismesser 3 antreibende Motor untergebracht ist.As can be seen from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a cutting machine according to the invention comprises a profile 1, which can serve as Schneidgutauflage and a stop plate 2, a circular blade 3 and at least partially surrounding the cutter cassette 4, the circular blade 3 in the region of the stop plate 2 leaves. The cutting machine according to the invention further comprises a machine housing 5, in which the circular blade 3 driving motor is housed.

Auf der von dem Profil 1 abgewandten Seite der Anschlagplatte 2 ist eine Handhabe 9 befestigt, die unter anderem einen Drehknauf 6 für die Einstellung des Abstands der Anschlagplatte 2 von der Schneidebene des Kreismessers 3 umfaßt. Zur Einstellung des Abstands von Anschlagplatte 2 zur Ebene des Kreismessers 3 ist beispielsweise, wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, in dem Drehknauf 6 eine gewindeförmig ansteigende Kreisringfläche 10 vorgesehen (siehe Fig. 5), an der ein durch die Öffnung 11 (siehe Fig. 3) hindurchgreifender Hebel anliegt, der mit dem Profil 1 verbunden ist.On the side facing away from the profile 1 side of the stop plate 2, a handle 9 is fixed, which includes, inter alia, a knob 6 for adjusting the distance of the stop plate 2 from the cutting plane of the circular blade 3. To set the distance from the stop plate 2 to the plane of the circular blade 3, for example, as is known from the prior art, a thread-shaped rising annular surface 10 is provided in the rotary knob 6 (see FIG. 5), at which a through the opening 11 (see FIG 3) passing through lever which is connected to the profile 1.

Erfindungsgemäß umfaßt die Handhabe 9 weiterhin einen Verriegelungsschalter 7 und eine Schalteinheit 8, mit der die Schneidemaschine ein- und ausgeschaltet werden kann. Der Verriegelungsschalter 7 umfaßt zwei Verriegelungsstifte 12, 13, wobei durch Betätigung des Verriegelungsschalters 7 sowohl die Verdrehung des Drehknaufs 6 bei sich in der Ebene des Kreismessers 3 befindlicher Anschlagplatte 2 als auch das Einschalten des Schalters 8 verhindert werden kann.According to the invention, the handle 9 further comprises a locking switch 7 and a switching unit 8 with which the cutting machine can be switched on and off. The locking switch 7 comprises two locking pins 12, 13, wherein by actuation of the locking switch 7, both the rotation of the rotary knob 6 in befindlichem in the plane of the circular blade 3 stop plate 2 and the switching of the switch 8 can be prevented.

Aus Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 ist ersichtlich, daß die gewindeförmig ansteigende Kreisringfläche 10 ein Verriegelungsloch 14 aufweist, in das der mit dem Verriegelungsschalter 7 verbundene Verriegelungsstift 12 eingreifen kann, so daß der Drehknauf 6 nicht mehr gedreht werden kann. Das Verriegelungsloch 14 ist derart in der Kreisringfläche 10 angebracht, daß der Drehknauf 6 nur in der Stellung verriegelt werden kann, in der sich die Anschlagplatte 2 in der Schneidebene des Kreismessers 3 befindet. In Fig. 5 befindet sich der Verriegelungsschalter 7 in seiner entriegelten Stellung, so daß der Drehknauf 6 drehbar ist. In Fig. 6 befindet sich der Verriegelungsschalter 7 in seiner verriegelten Stellung, in der der Verriegelungsstift 12 in das Verriegelungsloch 14 eingeschoben ist, so daß der Drehknauf 6 nicht mehr gedreht werden kann.From Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 it can be seen that the thread-like rising annular surface 10 has a locking hole 14 into which the locking pin 7 connected to the locking pin 12 can engage, so that the knob 6 can not be rotated. The locking hole 14 is mounted in the annular surface 10 so that the knob 6 can be locked only in the position in which the stop plate 2 is in the cutting plane of the circular blade 3. In Fig. 5, the locking switch 7 is in its unlocked position, so that the rotary knob 6 is rotatable. In Fig. 6, the locking switch 7 is in its locked position, in which the locking pin 12 is inserted into the locking hole 14, so that the rotary knob 6 can not be rotated.

Der zweite Verriegelungsstift 13 des Verriegelungsschalters 7 kann in der Verriegelungsstellung des Verriegelungsschalters 7 verhindern, daß die Schalteinheit 8 betätigt wird, so daß die Schneidemaschine nicht eingeschaltet werden kann. Die Funktionsweise der Schalteinheit 8 wird im folgenden unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 3 und 4 beschrieben.The second lock pin 13 of the lock switch 7 can prevent the switch unit 8 from being operated in the lock position of the lock switch 7, so that the cutting machine can not be turned on. The operation of the switching unit 8 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

Wie aus diesen beiden Abbildungen ersichtlich ist, umfaßt die Handhabe 9 ein an der Anschlagplatte 2 befestigtes Gehäuseteil 15, auf das der Drehknauf 6 drehbar aufsetzbar ist. Das Gehäuseteil 15 ist im wesentlichen hohlzylindrisch ausgeführt mit einer Bodenfläche, die an der Anschlagplatte 2 anliegt. Das Gehäuseteil 15 weist einen sich mittig von der Anschlagplatte 2 weg erstreckenden Zylinder 16 auf, durch den beispielsweise Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung der Handhabe 9 an der Anschlagplatte 2 hindurchgreifen können.As can be seen from these two figures, the handle 9 comprises a fixed to the stop plate 2 housing part 15, on which the rotary knob 6 is rotatably mounted. The housing part 15 is designed substantially hollow cylindrical with a bottom surface which bears against the stop plate 2. The housing part 15 has a center of the stop plate 2 extending away cylinder 16 through which, for example, fastening means for fixing the handle 9 can reach through the stop plate 2.

Der Gehäuseteil 15 trägt die Schalteinheit 8, die einen etwa halbkreisförmig aus dem Gehäuseteil 15 hervorstehenden Betätigungsabschnitt 17 umfaßt. Der Betätigungsabschnitt 17 ist im Bereich des freien Endes eines kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitts 18 der Schalteinheit 8 angeordnet, an dem zwei Federschenkel 19, 20 sich in das Innere des Gehäuseteils 15 erstreckend angebracht sind. Einer der beiden Federschenkel 20 liegt an einem Auslösestift 21 eines als Subminiaturschalter ausgestalteten Schaltmittels 22 an, das beispielsweise auf das Bodenteil des Gehäuseteils 16 geschraubt ist. Bei in das Schaltmittel 22 hereingedrücktem Auslösestift 21 ist die Schneidemaschine eingeschaltet, so daß der Motor das Kreismesser 2 in Drehbewegung versetzt. Das Schaltmittel 22 weist in dem abgebildeten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Anschlußlaschen 24 für elektrische Zuführungen 25 auf, die, wie beispielsweise aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, durch die Bodenplatte des Gehäuseteils 15 hindurch in das Profil 1 geführt werden und durch dieses dem Motor bzw. der Netzversorgung zugeleitet werden.The housing part 15 carries the switching unit 8, which comprises an approximately semicircular protruding from the housing part 15 actuating portion 17. The actuating portion 17 is arranged in the region of the free end of a circular arc-shaped portion 18 of the switching unit 8, on which two spring legs 19, 20 are mounted extending in the interior of the housing part 15. One of the two spring legs 20 abuts against a release pin 21 of a subminiature switch designed switching means 22 which is screwed, for example, on the bottom part of the housing part 16. When the release pin 21 is pushed in the switch means 22, the cutting machine is turned on so that the motor rotates the circular blade 2. The switching means 22 has in the illustrated embodiment, two terminal lugs 24 for electrical leads 25, which, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, are guided through the bottom plate of the housing part 15 into the profile 1 and through this the motor or the mains supply be forwarded.

Der andere Federschenkel 19 der Schalteinheit 8 liegt an dem Zylinder 16 an, so daß durch diesen Federschenkel 19 eine Vorspannung des kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitts 18 nach außen erzielt wird. Diese Vorspannung kann durch eine Gegenlagerung des Federschenkels 19 unter Zuhilfenahme einer Feder erhöht werden. Auf diese Weise wird durch Betätigen des Betätigungsabschnittes 17, nämlich durch Druck von außen auf diesen Betätigungsabschnitt 17 der Federschenkel 20 gegen den Auslösestift 21 gedrückt, so daß das Schaltmittel 22 die Schneidemaschine einschaltet. Durch Loslassen des Betätigungsabschnittes 17 bewegt sich der kreisbogenförmige Abschnitt 18 zurück in seine Ausgangsstellung aufgrund der Anlage des Federschenkels 20 am Zylinder 16.The other spring leg 19 of the switching unit 8 is applied to the cylinder 16, so that a bias of the circular arc-shaped portion 18 is achieved to the outside by this spring leg 19. This bias can be increased by an abutment of the spring leg 19 with the aid of a spring. In this way, by pressing the operating portion 17, namely pressed by pressure from the outside on this operating portion 17 of the spring leg 20 against the release pin 21, so that the switching means 22 turns on the cutting machine. By releasing the operating portion 17, the circular arc-shaped portion 18 moves back to its initial position due to the system of the spring leg 20 on the cylinder sixteenth

Im Bereich der Anlenkung des an dem Zylinder 16 anliegenden Federschenkels 19 an dem kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitt 18 befindet sich der Drehpunkt, um den der kreisbogenförmige Abschnitt 18 in Richtung auf das Innere des Gehäuseteils 15 verschwenkbar ist.In the region of the articulation of the voltage applied to the cylinder spring leg 16 19 at the circular arc-shaped portion 18 is the pivot point about which the arcuate portion 18 in the direction of the interior of the housing part 15 is pivotable.

An einer sich über den Betätigungsabschnitt 17 hinaus erstreckenden endseitigen Verlängerung 26 des kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitts 18 weist diese eine an der Außenseite angeordnete Rastnut 27 auf, in die eine an dem Gehäuseteil 15 nach innen zeigende Rastnase 28 genau dann eingreifen kann, wenn der kreisbogenförmige Abschnitt 18 nach innen gedrückt ist. Ein derartiges Einrasten der Rastnase 28 in die Rastnut 27 ist aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, wobei durch dieses Einrasten der kreisbogenförmige Abschnitt 18 daran gehindert wird, sich nach Loslassen des Betätigungsabschnitts 17 nach außen zu bewegen. Auf diese Weise wird also die Schalteinheit 8 in ihrer eingeschalteten Stellung verrastet. Das Überführen in die Aus-Stellung kann durch nochmaligen leichten Druck auf den Betätigungsabschnitt 17 insbesondere in Richtung nach unten in Fig. 4 erzielt werden.At an end extension 26 of the circular-arc-shaped section 18 which extends beyond the actuating section 17, the latter has a latching groove 27 arranged on the outside, into which a latching nose 28 pointing inwardly on the housing part 15 can engage precisely when the circular-arc-shaped section 18 catches inside is pressed. Such engagement of the detent 28 in the locking groove 27 can be seen in Fig. 4, which is prevented by this engagement of the circular arc-shaped portion 18 from moving to release the operating portion 17 to the outside. In this way, therefore, the switching unit 8 is locked in its on position. The transfer to the off position can be achieved by repeated slight pressure on the operating section 17, in particular in the downward direction in FIG. 4.

Aus Fig. 3 ist ersichtlich, daß durch das Bewegen des Verriegelungsschalters 7 in eine Richtung senkrecht von der Anschlagplatte 2 weg der Verriegelungsstift 13 zwischen das Schaltmittel 22 und die endseitige Verlängerung 26 des kreisbogenförmigen Abschnitts 18 geschoben wird, so daß die endseitige Verlängerung 26 direkt an dem Verriegelungsstift 13 anliegt und durch Betätigen des Betätigungsabschnitts 17 der kreisbogenförmige Abschnitt 18 nicht in Richtung auf das Innere des Gehäuseteils 15 bewegt werden kann. Dadurch wird durch Verriegeln des Verriegelungsschalters 7 verhindert, daß die Schalteinheit 8 betätigt wird, so daß in der Verriegelungsstellung des Verriegelungsschalters 7 die Schneidemaschine nicht in Betrieb genommen werden kann. Die Verriegelung der Schalteinheit 8 ist auch aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich, bei der die endseitige Verlängerung 26 der Schalteinheit 8 an dem Verriegelungsstift 13 anliegt.From Fig. 3 it can be seen that by moving the lock switch 7 in a direction perpendicular to the Stop plate 2 away the locking pin 13 between the switching means 22 and the end extension 26 of the arcuate portion 18 is pushed so that the end extension 26 abuts directly on the locking pin 13 and by pressing the operating portion 17 of the arcuate portion 18 is not in the direction of the interior of the housing part 15 can be moved. Thereby, by locking the lock switch 7 prevents the switching unit 8 is actuated, so that in the locking position of the lock switch 7, the cutting machine can not be put into operation. The locking of the switching unit 8 can also be seen from Fig. 6, in which the end-side extension 26 of the switching unit 8 rests against the locking pin 13.
