Definitions

  • the current invention relates food preparation apparatus and in particular to a meat mincing attachment for a kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance.
  • Meat mincing attachments of the type described in DE7731529 and CN202105700 use an auger to force pieces of meat through a mincing disk. Meat is fed into an upright channel where it enters the auger channel and is transported sideways towards a blade and the mincing disk mounted at one end of the auger. Traces of meat are left in the auger and mincing disk that must be cleaned away at the end of the mincing operation before storage of the mincer. It is important that the mincer is thoroughly clean as any traces of meat remaining could rot causing a smell and potential health hazard. It is therefore desirable that a meat mincer is easy to clean.
  • a meat mincing attachment comprising:
  • one of the first or second rotationally releasable connections is a threaded connection.
  • one of the first or second rotationally releasable connections is a bayonet type connection. More preferably, the first rotationally releasable connection is a bayonet-type connection, and the second rotationally releasable connection is a threaded connection.
  • the first rotationally releasable connection comprises bayonet connectors.
  • the coupling flange has a semi-cylindrical wall portion having an opening to which the feed tube of connected.
  • the auger tube has an auger tube wall and an opening in the auger tube wall that communicates with the feed tube when the auger tube and coupling flange are connected.
  • the feed tube is frusto- conical. More preferably, the auger tube is frusto-conical.
  • one or both of the first and second rotationally releasable connections is releasably by hand without the use of tools.
  • the mincer attachment 1 has a coupling flange 5 for coupling the mincer attachment I to the kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance.
  • a coupling flange 5 for coupling the mincer attachment I to the kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance.
  • male type receiver part 7 having a pair of diametrically opposed radial bayonet-type coupling tabs 8.
  • the receiver part 7 is received in a receptor part of a kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance for coupling the mincer attachment 1 to the kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance.
  • the receiver part 7 is received within the receptor part rotationally off-set by say 1 ⁇ 4 turn and then rotated to engage the radial bayonet-type coupling tabs 8 with corresponding coupling slots of the receptor for locking the mincer attachment 1 to the kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance.
  • the feed hopper tube 2 has an inlet opening 3 at its upper end and an outlet opening 4 at its lower end with a generally circular wall extending between the inlet opening 3 at its upper end and an outlet opening 4 at its lower end.
  • the circular feed hopper tube 2 has a mildly frusto-conical shape with the inlet opening 3 being slightly larger in diameter than the outlet opening 4 at the lower end.
  • the inlet opening 3 and outlet opening 4 are concentrically aligned.
  • the circular feed hopper tube 2 may also be generally cylindrical with the inlet opening 3 and outlet opening 4 at the lower end having substantially the same diameters.
  • Meat to be minced is introduced into the mincer attachment 1 through the feed hopper tube 2 via a pusher 9.
  • the pusher 9 has an outer diameter generally the same as an inner diameter of the circular feed hopper tube 2 and a length generally corresponding to a distance between the inlet opening 3 and outlet opening 4.
  • a handle part 29 at one end of the pusher 9 allows the pusher to be introduced into the inlet opening 3 of the feed tube 2 and moved down the tube to the outlet opening 4 for pushing meat to be minced though the feed tube 2.
  • a generally circular auger tube 10 removably couples with the coupling flange 5 along a mincing axis 31 that is orthogonal to a feed axis 32 of the feed tube 2.
  • the auger tube 10 has an open drive end 11 that communicates with the receiver part 7 of the coupling flange 5 and an open mincing end 12 with a generally circular wall extending between the drive end 11 and mincing end 12.
  • the auger tube 10 has a mildly frusto-conical shape with drive end 11 having a slightly smaller diameter than the mincing end 12.
  • the drive end 11 opening and mincing end 12 opening are concentrically aligned.
  • the auger tube 10 has an inlet opening 13 in the tube wall adjacent the drive end 11.
  • the driver end 11 abuts the receiver part 7 of the coupling flange 5 and the auger tube wall abuts an underside of the flange wall 6 such that the outlet opening 4 of the feed tube 2 aligns with the inlet opening 13 of the auger tube 10 such that meat to be minced can be introduced into the auger tube 10 through the feed tube 2.
  • a receiver part having a pair of diametrically opposed radial bayonet-type coupling tabs 14.
  • the auger tube 10 is introduced to the coupling flange 5 rotationally off-set by say 1 ⁇ 4 turn and then rotated to engage the radial bayonet-type coupling tabs 14 with corresponding coupling slots of the receiver part 7 of the flange 5 to removably couple the auger tube 10 to the coupling flange 5 and correspondingly to the feed tube 2.
  • a bayonet-type receiver part 15 on the auger tube wall and corresponding bayonet-type receptor part 16 on the distal end of the wall 6 are similarly engaged when the auger tube 10 and flange 5 are coupled.
  • the bayonet-type receiver part 15 and corresponding bayonet-type receiver part 16 removably couple the auger tube 10 and flange wall 6 maintaining a fit between the auger tube 10 and flange wall 5.
  • the inner surface of the auger tube 10 wall has a plurality of evenly spaced helical ribs 28 the spiral along the inner length of the auger tube 10.
  • An auger 20 is removably receivable within the auger tube 10.
  • the auger 20 has an auger shaft 21 with a drive coupling 22 at its proximal end and a helical auger blade 23 that spirals around the shaft 21 from the coupling to the distal end of the auger 20.
  • the auger 20 is removably received into the auger tube 10 from the mincing end 12.
  • the drive coupling 22 extends from the drive end 11 of the auger tube 10 within the receiver part 7 of the coupling flange 5.
  • the drive coupling 22 communicates with a corresponding driven coupling of the kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance for turning the auger 20.
  • the mincing end 12 of the auger tube 2 has a threaded flange 25 having an inner diameter.
  • a mincing disk 30 has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the threaded flange 25 and locates within the threaded flange 25.
  • a retaining ring 27 threadably engages with the threaded flange 25 of the auger tube 10 to retain the mincing disk 30 and auger 20 within the auger tube 10.
  • the meat mincer attachment 1 is removably attached to a kitchen appliance or other food preparation appliance having a receptor part and driven coupling for receiving correspondingly the receiver part 7 and drive coupling 22 of the meat mincer attachment 1.
  • the driven coupling drives the auger 20 of the meat mincer attachment 1.
  • Pieces of meat to be minced are introduced into the feed tube 2 and the pusher 9 used to push the pieces of meat down the feed tuber through the openings 4, 13 into the auger tube 10.
  • the driven auger 20 transports the pieces of meat along the auger tube 10 towards the mincing end 12 where the pieces of meat and pushed up against the mincing disk 30. As more pieces of meat and introduced into the auger tube 10 the pieces of meat are forced through the mincing disk 30 exiting the mincer attachment 1 as minced meat.
  • the meat mincer attachment of the invention has the advantage of being easy to clean. After the mincing operating some traces meat will remain in the auger tube 10. The retaining ring 27 is removed to separate the mincing disk 30 and threaded flange 25. The auger 20 can then be removed from the auger tube 10 and the auger tube 10 separated from the coupling flange 5. After cleaning the parts can be quickly re-assembled. Dismantling and re-assembly can be achieved by hand, without the use of tools.
