Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material feeder for a meat slicer, and more particularly, it has been improved so as to minimize the uncut portion at the rear end of the material that is cut from the front end to the blade. Is.

Conventional technology The upper and lower sides of the meat box containing the material to be sliced are provided with a comb-shaped or roller-shaped upper conveyor and a lower conveyor, respectively, from the upper and lower sides toward the blade that rotates along the front end surface of the meat box. Examples of the material feeder for a meat slicer adapted to feed the meat include those described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-92594 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-35789.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, the material feeding device configured to feed the material toward the blade using the interlocking type or roller type conveyor has a front end portion of the conveyor when the material to be sliced reaches the end. Since the contact with the arc-shaped conveying surface formed in the above is cut off, a portion of the material where the feeding operation of the conveyor does not work effectively occurs, and this remains as the uncut portion and remains in the meat box. Then, especially when this uncut portion is pressed by the contact of the upper conveyor, the shortened material collapses and is cut into pieces, resulting in slice pieces of low commercial value. Therefore, it is necessary to stop slicing in anticipation of a considerable amount of material, and careful operation is required, while it also causes a large amount of material loss, so there are few remaining cuts. In addition, it has been desired to improve so that the material feeding device automatically stops at the slice limit.

Function In the material feeding apparatus of the present invention configured as described above, the chuck member connected to the rear end of the material to be sliced moves together with the material conveyed to the upper and lower conveyors in the meat box. Then, when the length of the material is shortened and the above-mentioned chuck member approaches the front end portions of the upper and lower conveyors, and the material exceeds the feeding range of the conveyor, the connecting member integrally connected to the rear portion of the chuck member is the lower conveyor. By the feeding action of the connecting member, it moves forward while supporting the shortened material, and immediately before the chuck member reaches the blade surface of the blade, the stopper provided on the connecting member operates to stop the further advance of the connecting member. Therefore, the uncut portion of the material is minimized, and the material is normally held until the cutting is completed.
