Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Lebensmitteln, insbesondere Obst, Gemüse oder dergleichen, enthaltend einen Hauptkörper, bei dem zwischen zwei Längsrändern mindestens eine Platte und mindestens ein Messer angeordnet ist, dessen Schneidkante sich in einem Abstand von dieser Platte befindet, und mit einem Halter zur Aufnahme des zu schneidenden Lebensmittels.The invention relates to a device for cutting food, in particular fruit, vegetables or the like, comprising a main body in which between two longitudinal edges at least one plate and at least one knife is arranged, the cutting edge is located at a distance from this plate, and with a Holder for holding the food to be cut.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise aus den Dokumenten EP 412 488 A2 und EP 412 489 A2 bekannt. Damit das Schneidgut leicht in dünne Scheiben geschnitten werden kann, haben solche Vorrichtungen sehr scharfe Messer. Dies wiederum stellt natürlich für den Benutzer eine Verletzungsgefahr dar. Um der Verletzungsgefahr während des Schneidens von Obst, Gemüse oder dergleichen zu begegnen, wurden Halter für das Schneidgut geschaffen. Die Veröffentlichung EP 196 550 A1 zeigt einen solchen Halter, der zuverlässig verhindert, dass die das Schneidgut führende Hand mit dem Messer in Berührung kommt. Der Halter wird mit einem darin aufgenommenen Stück eines Lebensmittels in Längsrichtung der Vorrichtung über das Messer geführt, um dieses Lebensmittel zu zerkleinern. Wie insbesondere die Figur 2 der zuletzt genannten Veröffentlichung zeigt, ist der Halter selbst nicht mit der Vorrichtung verbunden und somit gegenüber dieser nicht geführt. Es kann somit ohne weiteres vorkommen, dass der Halter in unerwünschter Weise seitlich von der Vorrichtung abrutscht.Such devices are known from the prior art, for example from the documents EP 412 488 A2 and EP 412 489 A2. So that the material to be cut can easily be cut into thin slices, such devices have very sharp knives. This in turn, of course, poses a risk of injury to the user. In order to counter the risk of injury during the cutting of fruit, vegetables or the like, holders for the cut material have been created. The publication EP 196 550 A1 shows such a holder, which reliably prevents the hand leading the material to be cut into contact with the knife. The holder is guided over the knife with a piece of foodstuff received therein in the longitudinal direction of the device in order to shred this food. As shown in particular in Figure 2 of the latter publication, the holder itself is not connected to the device and thus not compared to this. It can thus easily happen that the holder slips off the side of the device undesirably.

Aus der US 1 834 717 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Lebensmitteln bekannt, enthaltend einen Hauptkörper, bei dem zwischen zwei Längsrändern eine Platte und ein Messer angeordnet sind, um mit einem Halter zur Aufnahme des zu schneidenden Lebensmittels, wobei am Halter ein Fürungsteil angeordnet ist, welcher mit den Seitenrändern längs verschiebbar verbunden ist und wobei der Führungsteil über ein Scharnier schwenkbar mit dem Halter verbunden ist. In dieser Vorrichtung liegt die Schwenkachse senkrecht zu den Längsrändern. Ferner weist diese Vorrichtung ein zweiter Scharnier auf, die auch senktrecht zu den Längsrändern liegt.From US 1 834 717 a device for cutting food is known, comprising a main body, in which between two longitudinal edges of a plate and a knife are arranged to a holder for receiving the food to be cut, wherein on the holder a Fürungsteil is arranged which is longitudinally slidably connected to the side edges and wherein the guide member is pivotally connected via a hinge to the holder. In this device, the pivot axis is located perpendicular to the longitudinal edges. Furthermore, this device has a second hinge, which is also perpendicular right to the longitudinal edges.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art vorzuschlagen, bei welcher der Halter nicht seitlich von der Vorrichtung abrutschen kann und wobei auch stücke geschnitten werden konnen die nicht in das Innere des Halters passen, und der Halter hochgeschwenkt weden kann, an Reste als geschnittenen Lebensmittels zu entfernen.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to propose a device of the type mentioned, in which the holder can not slip off the side of the device and also pieces can be cut that do not fit into the interior of the holder, and the holder can be swung up to remove residues as cut food.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäss der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die Vorrichtung eine einzige Schwenkachse aufweist, die parallel zu den Längsrändern angeordnet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the device has a single pivot axis which is arranged parallel to the longitudinal edges.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Die Zeichnungen zeigen in

Figur 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Ausführungsbeispiels der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung,
Figur 2
eine Ansicht entsprechend Figur 1 in einer anderen Betriebslage,
Figur 3
eine teilweise geschnittene Ansicht der Vorrichtung und
Figur 4
eine Ansicht entsprechend Figur 3 in einer anderen Betriebslage.
The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings show in
FIG. 1
a perspective view of an embodiment of the inventive device,
FIG. 2
a view corresponding to Figure 1 in a different operating position,
FIG. 3
a partially sectioned view of the device and
FIG. 4
a view corresponding to Figure 3 in a different operating position.

Wie insbesondere die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen, enthält die Vorrichtung einen Hauptkörper 1 mit seitlichen Längsrändern 2 und 3, der vorzugsweise einstückig aus einem Kunststoff durch Spritzgiessen hergestellt ist. Füsse 4 und 5 erlauben es, die Vorrichtung auf einer ebenen Unterlage derart aufzustellen, dass ein flaches Behältnis, beispielsweise ein Teller, zur Aufnahme des Schnittguts darunter gestellt werden kann. Die Füsse 4, 5 erlauben es aber auch, die Vorrichtung auf den Rand eines grösseren Behältnisses, beispielsweise einer Schüssel, aufzusetzen. Das mit der Vorrichtung zu schneidende Lebensmittel wird auf eine untere Platte 7 gesetzt und gegen die Schneide 9 eines Messers 8 bewegt. Das Messer 8 fluchtet mit einer oberen Platte 6. Beim Schneiden wird vom Lebensmittel eine Scheibe abgetrennt, deren Dicke der Höhendifferenz zwischen der unteren Platte 7 und der oberen Platte 6 entspricht. Zum Verändern der Schnittdicke können Einsätze (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen sein, die in den Figuren 1 und 2 von rechts nach links zwischen die Seitenränder 2, 3 geschoben werden und dann über der unteren Platte 7 liegen.As particularly shown in Figures 1 and 2, the apparatus includes a main body 1 with lateral longitudinal edges 2 and 3, which is preferably made in one piece from a plastic by injection molding. Feet 4 and 5 make it possible to set up the device on a flat surface such that a flat container, such as a plate, can be placed underneath to accommodate the clippings. However, the feet 4, 5 also allow the device to be placed on the edge of a larger container, for example a bowl. The food to be cut with the device is placed on a lower plate 7 and moved against the cutting edge 9 of a knife 8. The knife 8 is aligned with an upper plate 6. When cutting the food is separated a disc whose thickness corresponds to the height difference between the lower plate 7 and the upper plate 6. To change the cutting thickness inserts (not shown) may be provided, which are pushed in Figures 1 and 2 from right to left between the side edges 2, 3 and then lie above the lower plate 7.

Ein Halter 10 für die zu schneidenden Lebensmittel besteht aus einer Fussplatte 11, von der eine hohle Aufnahme 12 nach oben abragt. Diese ist vorzugsweise nicht rund, sondern beispielsweise vierkantig mit abgerundeten Ecken ausgebildet, damit sich das zu schneidende Gut in ihr nicht drehen kann. Das Lebensmittel wird in die Aufnahme gegeben und mit einem Stössel 13 angedrückt. Auf der Unterseite der Fussplatte 11 wie auch an der Unterseite des Stössels 13 sind Spitzen 19 beziehungsweise 20 vorgesehen, die verhindern, dass der Halter 10 vom zu schneidenden Lebensmittel rutscht. An einer Seite weist der Halter 10 einen Führungsteil 14 auf, mit dem er an einem der Seitenränder 2 oder 3 geführt werden kann. Figur 3 zeigt besonders deutlich, wie der Führungsteil 14 den in der Figur linken Seitenrand 2 übergreift. Ein oberer Stützrand 16 und eine untere Nase 17 sorgen für eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Seitenrand 2 und dem Führungsteil 14, welche Verbindung ein seitliches Abgleiten des Halters 10 sicher verhindert, ohne dessen Längsbewegung zu behindern. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, im Bereich des Seitenrandes 3, stützt sich der Halter 10 auf einem an der Fussplatte 11 angeformten Stützrand 18 ab.A holder 10 for the food to be cut consists of a foot plate 11 from which protrudes a hollow receptacle 12 upwards. This is preferably not round, but for example square formed with rounded corners, so that the material to be cut can not rotate in it. The food is placed in the receptacle and pressed with a plunger 13. On the underside of the foot plate 11 as well as on the underside of the plunger 13 tips 19 and 20 are provided which prevent the holder 10 from slipping from the food to be cut. On one side, the holder 10 has a guide part 14 with which it can be guided on one of the side edges 2 or 3. Figure 3 shows particularly clearly how the guide member 14 engages over the left side edge 2 in the figure. An upper support edge 16 and a lower lug 17 provide a positive connection between the side edge 2 and the guide member 14, which compound securely prevents lateral sliding of the holder 10 without hindering its longitudinal movement. On the opposite side, in the region of the side edge 3, the holder 10 is supported on an integrally formed on the foot plate 11 support edge 18 from.

Die Fussplatte 11 und der Führungsteil 14 sind über ein Scharnier 15 gelenkig miteinander verbunden, so dass der Halter 10 gegenüber dem Hauptkörper 1 verschwenkt werden kann, wie dies insbesondere die Figuren 2 und 4 zeigen. Diese Verschwenkbarkeit erfüllt insbesondere die folgenden zwei Zwecke. Einerseits können nach dem Schneiden an den Spitzen 18, 19 haftende Reste des Lebensmittels mühelos entfernt werden, indem der Halter wie dargestellt hochgeschwenkt wird. Andererseits erlaubt es die Schwenkbarkeit des Halters 10 auch, Stücke zu schneiden, die so gross sind, dass sie nicht in die Aufnahme 12 passen. Ein solches Stück, beispielsweise eine Karotte oder eine Kartoffel, wird dann einfach bei hochgeschwenktem Halter auf die untere Platte 7 gelegt und dann wird der Halter auf das Stück geschwenkt und dieses mit dem Halter über das Messer 8 bewegt.The foot plate 11 and the guide member 14 are hingedly connected to each other via a hinge 15, so that the holder 10 can be pivoted relative to the main body 1, as shown in particular Figures 2 and 4. This pivotability fulfills in particular the following two purposes. On the one hand, after cutting at the tips 18, 19, adhering remnants of the food can be easily removed by swiveling the holder up as shown. On the other hand, the pivotability of the holder 10 also allows pieces that are so large that they do not fit in the receptacle 12 to be cut. Such a piece, for example a carrot or a potato, is then simply placed on the lower plate 7 with the holder swung up, and then the holder is pivoted onto the piece and this is moved with the holder over the knife 8.

Durch die Tatsache, dass die Seitenränder 2, 3 symmetrisch ausgebildet sind, kann der Führungsteil 14 wahlweise auf den vom Benutzer aus gesehen linken oder rechten Seitenrand gesetzt werden, beispielsweise je nachdem, ob der Benutzer Rechtshänder oder Linkshänder ist. Der Halter 10 wird dazu einfach in Längsrichtung über das Ende des betreffenden Seitenrandes hinaus ausgefahren und beim anderen Seitenrand wieder von einem Ende her aufgeschoben.Due to the fact that the side edges 2, 3 are formed symmetrically, the guide member 14 can optionally be set to the user's left or right margin, for example, depending on whether the user is right-handed or left-handed. The holder 10 is simply extended in the longitudinal direction beyond the end of the relevant side edge and pushed on the other side edge again from one end.
