Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a manual press for processing vegetables or fruits.

[Conventional technology]

US Pat. No. 1,762,031 discloses a press of this type, in which one lever has a holding chamber, which is divided into two by a central cutting wall.

U.S. Pat. No. 1,840,182 discloses a fruit press in which a container having two holding chambers separated by a partition is fixed to a stand and is provided with a hand-operated lever that presses against the container. It pivots and is provided with two rams, which are pivotally connected to the lever by a common forked arm connecting the rams. Fruits to be processed.

For example, an orange is divided into two halves connected by a portion of the peel. The two halves are placed into the two holding chambers with the connecting part of the nuclear skin above the partition. The tool disclosed in DE 1255877 is made of plastic and serves to cut and squeeze fruits and vegetables. The tool includes a base and a pressure lever pivoted to the base.

This lever carries a pressure device which, during actuation of the pressure lever, moves in a frame provided on the base towards an insertion cutting plate or perforated plate removably mounted in said frame.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

These known tools are only capable of breaking up fruits or vegetables into particles or pieces of a single size and shape. When processing different fruits or vegetables in different places, depending on the method used for preparation - whether grilled, cooked or roasted, and also on the use of the separated ingredients, e.g. spices, garnishes etc. It has been found that particles or fragments of different sizes and shapes are desirable (traditionally two types of presses were required, since in most cases Gari Sok has smaller size and Onion has coarser particles). .

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a manual press which avoids the disadvantages of known tools and which allows material to be broken up into small and/or large particle sizes simultaneously and in any desired sequence.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the invention, this object was achieved by providing different openings in the bottom part defining different holding chambers.

In order to clean the opening in the bottom of the holding chamber, the invention has a further feature, in which at least one of the levers is provided with a group of cleaning pins, of which there may be a plurality of sets, each of which has a Corresponds to one set of apertures.

In this arrangement, rotation of the lever in a direction opposite to the direction of applying pressure places the pin into the opening of the spent holding chamber.

Austrian Patent No. 294351 discloses the use of cleaning pins. However, this known tool has only one type of hole and therefore only one type of pin. If such pins were used in a manual press according to the present invention, they would be able to clean only the set of apertures for which they were intended, but not adequately clean other apertures. A pin that cannot fit or is larger than the cross section of the aperture cannot fit into the aperture.

〔Example〕

Further details of the invention will now be explained more fully with reference to the drawings, which show several illustrative embodiments of a manual press according to the invention.

The manual press shown in Figures 1 to 3 has a double-arm lever (1).

It goes without saying that various structural modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, a bottom part defining a holding chamber can be removably mounted, and a bottom part equipped with knives, bars or sieve holes, depending on whether the fruit and vegetable material is to be broken up, crushed or juiced. may be used. The choice of shape and size of the gap between the knives or bars is determined by the desired degree of crushing or breaking up of the fruit or wild candy. Such a bottom is shown in FIGS. 21 and 22. According to the above figures, the knife (21) is fixed in a frame (30), which is placed on the bottom extension (31) of the holding chamber (12). The bottom portion may be removably fixed by a snap action (not shown) so that it does not lift up from the surface (31) when the bottom portion is cleaned from the outside with a pin. If the bottom defining the holding chamber is removable, those pressure surfaces with projections that enter the openings in the bottom are likewise provided with removable inserts, so that the projections on the pressure surface of the ram can be removable. It mates with the bottom opening that defines the holding chamber. This precaution also applies to any protrusions provided on the outer surface of the lever for cleaning the apertures or holes. Such an example is referred to as a second example.
According to Figure 3. In this example, ′ζ means that the insert is a plate (2

Inserts provided at the bottom or pressure surface of the ram (3) may be attached in a similar manner. For example, such an insert (32'
) is shown in Figure 24, which includes knives, bars, and other (
21) and (20'), and the trunk (
33') may be slidably and removably mounted in the grip.

The embodiment of the manual press shown in FIG. 25 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 18, differing only in the arrangement of the holding chambers. For simplicity, only the lever (11) is shown in FIG. 25 as a top plan view on the holding chamber. In this example, the holding chamber (12) is Large and crossed knives, bars (20') or (
21'). The bottom part (7') carrying said knives, bars etc. may be removably mounted. Holding room (1
2'), (12'') are juxtaposed and arranged near the holding chamber (12), between the holding chamber (12) and the hinge (5). In this example, the holding chamber (12') is placed between the holding chamber (12) and the hinge (5). It has a set of small sieve holes (22'') and the holding chamber (12'') has a set of large sieve holes (22''^). The lever (2), not shown, is provided with a mating ram, which may be designed like the ram of the embodiment shown in FIG. 18, but arranged like the holding chamber.

The choice of the number and arrangement of holding chambers and cooperating rams is at the discretion of the designer of the manual press. They may be arranged in the desired shape and quantity on the left and right and/or front and back, and handle levers (11, (21 are 1-arm or 2-arm)
It may be set as 11fii.

Alternatively, each of the levers of these 2iIMs may comprise at least one holding chamber and at least one ram cooperating with the holding chambers of the other levers.

Furthermore, a ram, plunger or the like (3) for cutting the fruit or vegetable material into prismatic pieces or slices is provided.
