Description

Eishacker Eishacker
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Eishacker gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 zum Hacken, Brechen und Zerkleinern von Eis und anderen flüssigen gefrorenen Lebensmitteln .The present invention relates to an ice chipper according to the preamble of claim 1 for chopping, breaking and crushing ice and other liquid frozen foods.
Zwiebel- und Gemüsehacker sind aus der EP-B-0 ' 345 ' 223 und der WOOl/58652 der Anmelderin bekannt. Sie weisen ein über das zu zerkleinernde Gut stülpbares Gehäuse und ein in dem Gehäuse geführtes, mittels eines Betätigungsmechanismus mit einem Druckknopf und einem Stössel gegen die Kraft einer Feder, verschiebbares Messer auf. Das Messer umfasst eine zylindrische Achse an deren unterem Ende ein tellerförmiger Messerhalter aufsitzt. An der Unterseite des Messerhalters sind eine oder mehrere nach unten ragende Klingen befestigt, welche in der Draufsicht meist wellen- oder sternförmig gestaltet sind. Das Messer lässt sich gegen die Kraft der Feder nach unten verschieben bis die Klinge das Hackgut vollständig durchdrungen hat und auf eine Bodenplatte des Hackers aufschlägt. Für die einwandfreie Funktion aller bekannten Hacker ist es entscheidend, dass die unteren Schneiden oder Schneidkanten der Klingen exakt in einer horizontalen Ebene liegen.Onion and vegetable choppers are known from the applicant's EP-B-0 '345' 223 and WO / 58652. They have a housing which can be slipped over the material to be shredded and a knife which is guided in the housing and can be displaced by means of an actuating mechanism with a push button and a plunger against the force of a spring. The knife comprises a cylindrical axis at the lower end of which a plate-shaped knife holder is seated. On the underside of the knife holder, one or more blades protruding downward are attached, which are usually wave-shaped or star-shaped in plan view. The knife can be moved downwards against the force of the spring until the blade has completely penetrated the wood chips and strikes a base plate of the chipper. For the well-functioning of all known hackers, it is crucial that the lower ones Cutting or cutting edges of the blades lie exactly in a horizontal plane.
Obwohl die Hacker nicht dazu vorgesehen sind, werden mit den bekannten Hackern häufig Eiswürfel zerkleinert um feinere Eisstückchen für Cocktails, Drinks oder zum Anrichten von Lebensmitteln zu erhalten. Das Hacken von Eis kann die bekannten Klingen sehr leicht abstumpfen und verbiegen. Verbogenen Klingen verklemmen leicht mit dem Abstreifer und beeinträchtigen dadurch die Funktionstüchtigkeit des Hackers ganz entscheidend.Although the hackers are not intended for this, the known hackers are often used to crush ice cubes in order to obtain finer pieces of ice for cocktails, drinks or for serving food. Chopping ice can dull and bend the known blades very easily. Bent blades easily jam with the scraper and thus significantly affect the functionality of the chipper.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Gerät zur Verfügung zu stellen, das diese Nachteile behebt.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a device which overcomes these disadvantages.
Diese Aufgabe durch einen Eishacker gemäss der vorliegenden Erfindung gelöst .This object is achieved by an ice chipper according to the present invention.
Im Folgenden werden anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung beschrieben. Es zeigen:Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Eishacker umfasst ein Gehäuse, das aus einem mehrteiligen Oberteil 2 und einem vorzugsweise einteiligen Unterteil oder Becher 3 besteht. Der Becher 3 ist mit dem Oberteil 2 mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses 33 oder dergleichen verbunden. Ähnlich wie bei den bekannten Zwiebel- und Gemüsehacker ist im Gehäuseoberteil 2 ein Betätigungsmechanismus 4 konzentrisch gelagert und geführt, der einen Druckknopf 17 mit Kappe 18 umfasst. Im Gehäuseoberteil ist ein, mittels des Betätigungsmechanismus 4 gegen die Kraft einer Feder, verschiebbares Messer 5 angebracht . Der Betätigungsmechanismus 4 umfasst einen bekannten und daher nicht in der Figur 1 im einzelnen dargestellten Fortschaltmechanismus. Der Fortschaltmechanismus stellt sicher, dass das Messer 5 mit jeder Auf- und Abbewegung einen bestimmten Winkel um seine Längsachse rotiert. Diese Rotationsbewegung stellt sicher, dass das Messer nicht auf der Stelle hackt. Im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Gemüsehackern kann beim vorliegenden Eishacker auf einen, über das Messer stülpbaren, Abstreifer verzichtet werden.The ice chipper shown in FIG. 1 comprises a housing which consists of a multi-part upper part 2 and a preferably one-part lower part or cup 3. The cup 3 is connected to the upper part 2 by means of a bayonet lock 33 or the like. Similar to the known onion and vegetable chopper, an actuating mechanism 4 is mounted and guided concentrically in the upper housing part 2, which comprises a push button 17 with a cap 18. In the upper part of the housing there is a knife 5 which can be displaced by means of the actuating mechanism 4 against the force of a spring appropriate . The actuating mechanism 4 comprises a known indexing mechanism and therefore not shown in detail in FIG. 1. The indexing mechanism ensures that the knife 5 rotates a certain angle about its longitudinal axis with each up and down movement. This rotational movement ensures that the knife does not chop on the spot. In contrast to the known vegetable choppers, there is no need for a scraper that can be put over the knife in the present ice chopper.
Das Messer 5 umfasst eine zylindrische Achse 11 an deren unterem Ende eine horizontal angeordnete tellerförmige Tragplatte 6 aufsitzt. An der Unterseite der Tragplatte sind eine oder mehrere nach unten ragende Klingen 51 befestigt, welche in der Draufsicht meist wellen- oder sternförmig gestaltet sind. Die vorliegende Erfindung kann mit allen bekannten vorgenannten Klingenformen verwirklicht werden. Aus Kostengründen werden Achse 11 und Tragplatte 6 meist einstückig im Spritzguss hergestellt, wobei die Klinge 51 in einem oberen Bereich umspritzt und dadurch unlösbar an der Tragplatte 6 befestigt ist. Um der Belastung beim Eishacken standzuhalten ist das Messer 5 vorzugsweise aus stabilem Klingenblech von 0.3 bis 0.5, besonders bevorzugt 0.4 mm Dicke D gefertigt. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung, wie sie in der Figur 1 dargestellt ist, sind die Höhe Hκ der Klinge 51, die Höhe des Bechers HB und der durch den Betätigungsmechanismus 4 begrenzte maximale Vertikalweg des Messers 5 so gewählt und aufeinander abgestimmt, dass die Schneide 52 in ihrer untersten Stellung nicht in Kontakt mit einem Becherboden 31 kommt. Es bleibt also auch in der untersten Messerposition (in der Figur 1 strichliniert angedeutet) ein Luftspalt Hs zwischen den nach unten gerichteten Spitzen von Zähnen 53 der Schneide 52 und dem Becherboden 31.The knife 5 comprises a cylindrical axis 11 on whose lower end a horizontally arranged plate-shaped support plate 6 is seated. On the underside of the support plate, one or more downwardly projecting blades 51 are fastened, which are usually wave-shaped or star-shaped in plan view. The present invention can be implemented with all known blade shapes mentioned above. For reasons of cost, axis 11 and support plate 6 are usually injection-molded in one piece, with the blade 51 overmolded in an upper region and thereby permanently attached to the support plate 6. In order to withstand the stress during ice chopping, the knife 5 is preferably made of a stable blade sheet of 0.3 to 0.5, particularly preferably 0.4 mm thick D. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the height H κ of the blade 51, the height of the cup H B and the maximum vertical travel of the knife 5 limited by the actuating mechanism 4 are selected and matched to one another, that the cutting edge 52 does not come into contact with a cup bottom 31 in its lowest position. An air gap H s thus also remains in the lowermost knife position (indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1) between the downwardly directed tips of teeth 53 of the cutting edge 52 and the cup base 31.
Wie im weiteren noch ausgeführt wird, erfüllt der Becher eine Doppelfunktion und wird auch als Shakerunterteil benutzt. Er ist daher in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform aus Edelstahl gefertigt. Der Luftspalt HΞ verhindert also ein direktes Aufschlagen der Schneide 52 mit dem Edelstahlboden und dadurch ein ungewolltes Abstumpfen der Klinge und ein Beschädigen und Zerkratzen des Bodens 31. Die Höhe des Luftspaltes Hs beträgt vorzugsweise zwischen 1 und 7 mm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 3 und 5 mm.As will be explained further below, the cup fulfills a double function and is also used as a shaker base. In a preferred embodiment, it is therefore made of stainless steel. The air gap H Ξ thus prevents a direct impact of the cutting edge 52 with the stainless steel base and thereby undesired blunting of the blade and damage and scratching of the base 31. The height of the air gap H s is preferably between 1 and 7 mm, particularly preferably between 3 and 5 mm.
Wird in einer weiteren, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform, der oben beschriebene Becher durch einen unten offenen zylindrischen Gehäuseunterteil ersetzt, so ist dessen Höhe wiederum vorzugsweise so gewählt, dass auch empfindliche Unterlagen beim Hacken nicht von der Klinge berührt und beschädigt werden können.If, in a further embodiment (not shown), the cup described above is replaced by a cylindrical lower housing part which is open at the bottom, the height thereof is in turn preferably selected so that even sensitive ones Documents cannot be touched by the blade and damaged when chopping.
Während bei den bekannten Hackern ein solcher Luftspalt als absolut unerwünscht ist, da er zu einer inakzeptablen Funktionseinsehränkung führt, ist beim vorliegenden neuen Eishacker ein vollständiges Durchdringen der zu hackenden Eiswürfel nicht nötig. Die Eiswürfel werden von der stabilen Klinge 51 auseinander gesprengt, und müssen nicht vollständig durchschnitten werden. Diese Sprengwirkung der Klinge wird durch bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen Schneide noch unterstützt. In der in der Figur 4a und 4c gezeigten Klinge sind die Zähne beidseitigWhile such an air gap is absolutely undesirable in the known hackers, since it leads to an unacceptable functional restriction, in the present new ice chopper a complete penetration of the ice cubes to be chopped is not necessary. The ice cubes are blown apart by the stable blade 51 and do not have to be completely cut through. This explosive effect of the blade is further supported by preferred cutting edge configurations. In the blade shown in FIGS. 4a and 4c, the teeth are on both sides
angeschliffen, wobei der Schneidenwinkel γ vorzugsweiseground, the cutting edge angle γ preferably
zwischen 30 und 100° gewählt ist. Bei der in der Figur 4b und 4c gezeigten Klinge sind die Zähne nur einseitigis selected between 30 and 100 °. In the blade shown in FIGS. 4b and 4c, the teeth are only on one side
angeschliffen und der Schneidenwinkel γΛ beträgt um die 45°. Die Verzahnung der Klinge kann je nach Klingenmaterial und Herstellungskosten gewählt werden. Zwei mögliche Zahnformen sind in den Figuren 4a und 4b dargestellt. Beim Hacken der harten und spröden Eiswürfel liegt ein entscheidender Vorteil der gezahnten Klingen, dass die Zähne, respektive die Zahnspitzen, das Eindringen in das zu hackende Eis erleichtern. In einer weiteren, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Zähne, abwechselnd seitlich aus der Vertikalebene der Klinge gebogen und verstärken dadurch nochmals die Sprengwirkung der Eishackerklinge. Die Zähne können auch um ihre Längsachse verdreht aus der Vertikalebene des Klingenbleches gebogen sein, so dass die Spitzen der Zähne im wesentlichen noch in der Ebene liegen und mit relativ kleinem Widerstand in das Eis eindringen können und die Sprengwirkung durch die Torsion der Zähne beim weiteren Eindringen enorm gesteigert ist. In der Figur 2b ist eine auf den Becher 3 angepasste Unterlage 7, vorzugsweise aus einem weichen Elastomer wie Silikon, dargestellt. Die Unterlage 7 kann fest oder lösbar mit dem Becherboden 31 und/oder einem umlaufenden peripheren Standring 32 verbunden sein. Beim Hacken verhindert sie Unterlage 7 ein Zerkratzen der Arbeitsoberfläche, dämpft die Schläge und bewirkt eine Rutschsicherung des Hackers 1 auf einer Arbeitsoberfläche. Ist das Eis bis zur gewünschten Grosse zerkleinert, so kann der Becher 3 mittels des Bajonettverschlusses 33 vom Oberteil 2 und durch Anheben von der Unterlage 7 entfernt werden und der Oberteil 2 kann mit der Klinge auf die nun freie Unterlage 7 gestellt werden. Das Abstellen des Messers 5 auf der Unterlage 7 schützt gleichzeitig Schneide 52 und auch die Arbeitsoberfläche vor Beschädigungen. Die Unterlage 7 hat vorzugsweise einen peripher verdickten umlaufenden Randwulst 71, der verhindert, dass vom Messer 5 oder von Anderen Teilen des Oberteils 2 ablaufendes oder -tropfendes Schmelzwasser auf eine darunterliegende Arbeitsoberfläche laufen kann.ground and the cutting angle γ Λ is around 45 °. The serration of the blade can be selected depending on the blade material and manufacturing costs. Two possible tooth shapes are shown in Figures 4a and 4b. When chopping the hard and brittle ice cubes, a key advantage of the serrated blades is that the teeth, or rather the tips of the teeth, make it easier to penetrate the ice to be chopped. In a further embodiment, not shown, the teeth are alternately laterally from the vertical plane of the The blade is curved and thus further increases the explosive effect of the ice chopper blade. The teeth can also be bent around their longitudinal axis and bent out of the vertical plane of the blade plate, so that the tips of the teeth are essentially still in the plane and can penetrate the ice with relatively little resistance and the explosive effect due to the torsion of the teeth during further penetration has increased enormously. FIG. 2b shows a base 7 adapted to the cup 3, preferably made of a soft elastomer such as silicone. The base 7 can be connected fixedly or detachably to the cup base 31 and / or a peripheral peripheral ring 32. When chopping, the base 7 prevents the work surface from being scratched, dampens the impacts and ensures that the chopper 1 does not slip on a work surface. If the ice is crushed to the desired size, the cup 3 can be removed from the upper part 2 by means of the bayonet catch 33 and by lifting it from the base 7, and the upper part 2 can be placed on the now free base 7 with the blade. Placing the knife 5 on the base 7 simultaneously protects the cutting edge 52 and the working surface from damage. The base 7 preferably has a peripherally thickened peripheral bead 71 which prevents the knife 5 or other parts of the upper part 2 from running or dripping melt water can run onto an underlying work surface.
Die Seitenwand 30 des Bechers 3 verbreitert sich mit einemThe side wall 30 of the cup 3 widens with a
Winkel α nach oben hin, so dass bei abgenommenem Hackeroberteil 2 ein passender Shakeraufsatz 8 klemmend befestigbar ist. Der Aufsatz 8 verfügt, wie in der Figur 3Angle α upwards, so that a suitable shaker attachment 8 can be clamped when the upper chopper part 2 is removed. The attachment 8 has, as in FIG. 3
dargestellt über eine, sich nach unten mit einem Winkel ß verjüngende Seitenwand 81, welche nach oben hin in über Konus 82 in Hals 83 übergeht. Im Hals 83 ist in bekannter Manier eine Siebplatte 84 mit Ausgiessoffnungen 85 angebracht und zum verschliessen kann Deckel 9 aufgesetzt werden. Die Winkelrepresented by a side wall 81 tapering downwards at an angle β, which merges upwards into cone 82 in neck 83. In the neck 83, a sieve plate 84 with pouring openings 85 is attached in a known manner and cover 9 can be placed on to close it. The angles
α und ß (zwischen 1 und 15°, im bevorzugtenα and β (between 1 and 15 °, in the preferred
Ausführungsbeispiel 4°) und die Durchmesser von oberem Becherbereich und unterer Aufsatzwand sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, das der Aufsatz bis annähernd zum Übergang von Wand 81 zum Konus 82 in den Becher gesteckt werden kann und dadurch zum Becher hin eine ausreichende Abdichtung für Flüssigkeiten erreicht wird. Die Innenwand des Bechers ist vorzugsweise mit einer Gradierung in 10 Deziliterschritten versehen und der Shakeraufsatzdeckel 9 fasst vorzugsweise ein Volumen von 40 Millilitern, was einem wichtigen Mass für Barkeeper entspricht . Um den Hygieneansprüchen im Küchen und Barbereich zu genügen sind Hackeroberteil, Becher, Shakeraufsatz und Deckel aus Edelstahl und/oder aus lebensmittelzugelassenem Kunststoffgefertigt . Je nach Design und Preissegment sind alle Kombinationen der vorgenannten Materialien möglich. Embodiment 4 °) and the diameters of the upper cup area and the lower top wall are coordinated so that the top can be inserted into the cup up to almost the transition from wall 81 to cone 82 and thus sufficient sealing for liquids is achieved towards the cup. The inner wall of the cup is preferably provided with a graduation in 10 decilitre steps and the shaker cap 9 preferably holds a volume of 40 milliliters, which is an important measure for bartenders. In order to meet the hygiene requirements in the kitchen and bar area, the chipper top, mug, shaker attachment and lid are made of Stainless steel and / or made of food-approved plastic. Depending on the design and price segment, all combinations of the aforementioned materials are possible.
