Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a bread ear cutting device applied to a bread slicer.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIG. 3, the bread slicer has a carriage (3) on which the cutter (1) and the bread are placed and which moves on the base (2) in the direction of the cutter (1), and the cutter (1) of the base (2). ) Normally, it is composed of a fixed plate (4), etc., which is provided at the side end parallel to the cutter (1) and adjusts the pan cutting thickness by advancing and retracting in the carriage (3) direction. Place the pan on the carriage (3), bring the pan end into contact with the plate (4), and then move the carriage (3) in the direction of the cutter (1) to move the plate ( The bread is cut to a thickness of "a" between the 4) and the cutter (1).

By the way, there are so-called ears at both ends of the bread cut in this way, and when slicing the bread in over-the-counter sales, the ears are generally cut off.

The applicant of the present invention has proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-3755 a bread ear cutting device which can easily cut off such an ear portion.

This device, as shown in FIG. 4, is a slide plate which can be projected between the base (2) and the plate (4) in parallel with them from below.
(6) is provided, and the cutter (1) and the slide plate (6) can be adjusted to an appropriate distance. Therefore, in the normal state, the slide base plate (6) is located below the base (2) and the base plate (4) without protruding, and slides only when the ear is cut off and protrudes to the round blade. Let Then, with the pan ears pressed against one side of the slide plate (6), the carriage plate (3) is moved in the direction of the cutter (1) in the same manner as in the above-mentioned bread slicing. 6) and the cutter (1) are cut into ears having a thickness of b.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned device for cutting off the bread ears, the slide plate (6) cannot be slid smoothly due to the rattling of the sliding structure, etc. It is not possible to secure a sufficient protrusion height between (2) and the fixed plate (4), or the ear cut-off thickness b is gradually adjusted to a desired thickness due to uneven wear of the slide structure. It caused problems such as being unable to do so.

Also, as the cutting of the bread ears progresses, the bread ears side also tries to move to the cutter (1) side together with the bread, but the ears side is pressed against the slide plate (6) as described above. If the cut-off thickness b of the bread ears is thin, the cutting force between the moving bread and the slite surface plate (6) cuts the bread ears in the middle. The parts are twisted,
There was also a problem that the cut-off surface of the pan ear was not obtained in a smooth state.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a device configuration that does not cause these problems when the pan ears are cut off.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the device for cutting off the bread ears of the present invention comprises a cutter for cutting the bread, a carriage on which the bread is placed and moving on the base in the cutter direction, and a cutter on the end near the cutter of the base that is parallel to the cutter. In a bread slicer provided with a fixed plate for abutting the end of the bread to be cut and adjusting the cutting thickness thereof, the fixed plate has a pivot point on the side surface of the fixed plate side and is parallel to the fixed plate. It can be rotated in the state, and it is hung downward by its own weight in the normal state, and when the pan ear part is cut off, it rotates upward and abuts the pan ear part, and it is possible to rotate and descend in the cutter direction with this cut-off The basic feature is that a rotary plate is provided.

[Action]

In the above-mentioned bread ear cutting device, the rotating plate is not projected between the plate and the base in the normal state, and when the bread ear is cut off, the rotating plate is rotated upward and brought into contact with the pan ear portion. However, due to the cut-off, it gradually descends while rotating in the cutter direction, so that a resistance force due to friction acts between the rotary plate and the pan ears. It is possible to cut off the bread ears with a smooth cutting surface. Further, since the rotary plate can be set by simply rotating it when the ear is cut off, the above-mentioned problems that occur when the slide plate is set do not occur here.

〔Example〕

 Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the device according to the present invention, (5) shows the device configuration according to the present invention,
Further, (1) to (4) are configurations of a bread slicer to which the present apparatus is applied, (1) is a cutter, (2) is a base, (3) is a carriage, (4) is a fixed plate, and a chain line. Reference characters A denote cut surfaces of the cutter (1).

The device according to the present invention comprises a rotary plate (5), and is composed of a flat weight type plate as shown in FIG. The projecting end is pivotally supported on the side surface of the base (2) on the base plate (4) side, and the base plate (4) is attached so as to be rotatable in a parallel state.

In this way, since the rotating plate (5) of the weight-type plate having the pivot point at its tip is used as the plate that is applied to the ear when the pan ear is cut off, the bread is cut along with the cutting. (1)
When moving in the direction, this rotating body (5) also gradually descends while rotating in the direction of the cutter (1), and at the end of cutting, the weight type main body moves below the pivot point by its own weight. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary plate (5) has openings (5a) and (5b) in the weight-type main body portion which is opposite to the cutter (1) direction when it is pivotally set upward. It is provided. This is one direction (in this case, the opening (5a) (5b) drilling side by unbalanced the left and right weights of the weight type body extending horizontally above the tip end pivotal point as a center. This is to facilitate rotation in the opposite direction).

Next, a method of using the above device will be described. This device is used when cutting off the ears of bread with a bread slicer, and the rotary plate (5) that was hung downward in the normal state is rotated upward to set it to the state shown in FIG. Then, the ears of the loaf of bread placed on the carriage (3) are pressed against one side surface of the rotary plate (5). Carriage in this state
When (3) is moved in the direction of the cutter (1), the ear portion for the thickness b is cut off, and at the same time, the pan and the rotary plate are cut.
(5) will rotate toward the cutter (1), and will gradually descend. However, in this embodiment, the rotary plate
As described above, (5) has a weight type shape that spreads horizontally at a position slightly apart from the tip pivot point as described above. The overhanging side of the main body, where 5a) and (5b) are provided, will firmly guide the pan ears.

And when the cutting off of the pan ears is completed, this rotating plate (5)
The weight-type main body moves below the pivot point due to its own weight. After that, in a normal state in which the slicer is simply sliced, the rotating body (5) remains suspended downward.

Therefore, for a person who uses this device, since the rotary plate (5) is set by rotating it upward only when the pan ears are cut off, the handling is very simple.

In the automatic bread slicer, the carriage (3) is attached to the base (2) with an inclination in the lengthwise direction, and when the device according to the present invention is applied and used, The rotating constant plate (5) rotated upward is held in a fixed position by the weight of the pan of the slanting carriage (3), so that after the pan is brought into contact with the side surface of the weight type main body, It need not be held by hand.

[Effect of the Invention] According to the device for cutting off the ears of the bread slicer of the present invention described in detail above, when the cutting of the ears of the bread is performed, only the rotating plate is set by rotating the rotating plate upward, so that a desired smoothness can be obtained. The rotary plate can be projected to the height, and the thickness of the cut-off portion of the pan ears hardly changes. Also, since the rotary plate moves along with the bread while the bread ears are being cut off, the bread ears are not twisted during the cutting, and therefore the cut surfaces are smooth. .
