Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a food grinding device for grinding, slicing, shredding and grinding foodstuffs such as carrots, cucumbers, carrots, fruits and the like.

In this device, the material to be crushed is processed to the last residue without risk of damage.

The object of the invention is to provide a food grinding device with a residue holder for processing the material to be ground to the last residue without risk of damage.

The residue holder includes a ring-shaped disc that abuts against a wall portion of appropriate length parallel to the upper surface of the substrate. This disc is penetrated by an additionally formed tubular receptacle, which accommodates the material to be crushed and has a slidable pressure part in it, which also has a ring-shaped side facing towards the substrate. It protrudes from the disk and reaches the surface of the two-layer substrate. In this way, the material to be crushed is guided in a simple manner by the surface of the substrate in the tubular receptacle and is pressed by the two pressing parts against the crushing plate in the operating position.

The ring-shaped plate can be guided between the upwardly directed walls with an additionally formed tubular extension.

The tubular extension is located between the outer edge of the plate and the outer diameter of the tubular receptacle. This ensures reliable guidance of the residual cage in a simple manner.

The tubular receptacle can have a triangular cross-section with outwardly curved sides. This gives the tubular receptacle a non-circular shape, thus facilitating a fixed hold by the operator.

The tubular receptacle can have a bottom wall with several openings for the pressing projections of the pressing part at the end opposite the substrate. The tubular receptacle thus forms a chamber for the material to be crushed with its lower canvas closed and can be pressed by means of a pressing projection of the pressing part against the grinding plate in the active position.

The bottom wall of the tubular receptacle with openings for the pressure projections can have pins for stabbing the material to be crushed between the openings. The stab pin is held in a tubular extension. This prevents the material to be crushed in the tubular receptacle from slipping in a simple manner.

The pressure member is slidably guided within a limited range on the tubular receptacle.
7′? , can be formed by covering. The cover has a pressing projection on its bottom. In this way, the sheath forming the pressure element can be guided with its inner wall over the outer wall of the tubular receptacle in a simple manner.

The pressing protrusion additionally formed on the bottom of the cover is formed as a hollow body, and its sides can be left open toward the bottom. In this way, it is possible to easily complete a plastic sheathing with approximately the same wall thickness.

The tubular receptacle may have a locking projection having a substantially semicircular cross section at the end opposite the base plate.

The locking projection cooperates with a stop provided at the free end of the pressure projection. A final stop for sliding the cover onto the tubular receptacle is simply created by kneading. With this construction, the cover can be removed from the tubular receptacle by means of a strong pull. Therefore, it can be easily pulled apart for cleaning.

The cover can have an upright intermediate wall at the bottom between the pressure projections as a plug-in stop. The insertion stop comes into contact with the bottom wall of the tubular receptacle. In this way, a stop for sliding of the cover is simply created on the tubular receptacle in the other end position.

The cover can have a pressing projection with a circular cross section in the center. The nuclear depressing projection is surrounded by four other three depressing projections. Each of the three projections has an oval cross section. As a result, most of the cross section of the tubular receiving portion is easily covered by the pressing projection.

The pressing protrusion can have a pressing or press-fitting tip on its free end surface, and the pressing tip is respectively pressed into the food to be ground to prevent it from slipping.

A stop protruding from the surface of the substrate for the remainder retainer can be provided on the wall plate at the side end of the gripping part. This prevents the remainder holder from being easily pressed against the operator's hand that grips the gripping portion.

The stop has a rectangular cross section and is affixed to the center of the end of the plastic substrate. This does not prevent the completion of the board, and since the stop part is in the center of the rest holder that moves back and forth on the board, the rest holder stops at the longest protruding part of its ring-shaped plate. will come into contact with the area.

Advantageously, the stop also serves to suspend the residue holder. When the device is not in use, it can be hung by the handle from a wall hook or the like. At the same time, the residue holder can then be hung on the stop, so that the device forms a related unit.

The free end of the stop can be bent towards the saw handle and the residue holder can have an elongated hole in its ring-shaped plate. The residue holder can thus be hung with its elongated hole in the stop. In this construction, the bent free end prevents the residue holder from falling inadvertently.

The remainder retainer 6 is then prevented from being unintentionally separated from the stop by means of a locking part. In this way, the residue holder is securely held in the device.

The elongated holes in the ring-shaped plate of the residue retainer can be made in an arcuate shape. In this way, a locking tightening is realized on the stop in a simple manner.

The figures showing examples will be explained in more detail.

The nine food grinding devices shown are useful for grinding, slicing, shredding, or similar grinding of foods such as potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, fruits, or the like. It will be done. This device is composed of a very long base plate 21 equipped with a gripping part 20, and the material to be crushed can be moved by hand through the surface 22 of this base plate, but it can be moved back and forth by means of a residue holder 23. . The substrate 21 has a notch 24 in its center region that extends all the way to the bottom surface. Several different grinding plates 25 can each be inserted into this cutout to perform various grinding operations for a given use.

The plastic substrate 21 is additionally formed with downwardly directed walls 26 at the vertical edges of its back side, and these downwardly directed walls are supported by several reinforcing ribs 27 which are also formed additionally on the substrate 21. interconnected. Board 2fK
The recess 24 provided for a particular grinding plate 25 to be used is surrounded by two walls 26 and two reinforcing ribs 27 .

In the recess 24 extending through the substrate 21 there is a receptacle 28 for the crushing plate 25 in the active position. The receptacle 28 for the grinding plate 25 which is just being used is formed by a groove-shaped guide groove 29, which serves to accommodate the edges of the grinding plate 25. These guide grooves are provided on two boundary surfaces 30 widened by reinforcing ribs 27. A guide slit 32 is similarly provided in the boundary surface 31 of the third rectangular cutout section between which is widened by the downward wall section 26.
The slit accommodates the edge of the grinding plate 250 in front when pushing in the direction of movement. The lateral introduction of the grinding plate 25 takes place through an introduction slit 33 which emerges from the outside of the longitudinal edge of the substrate 21 and enters the recess 24 . In this way, the grinding plate 25 can be introduced easily from the side and is held in a frictionally engaging manner.

The substrate 21 is provided with a cutout 24 and has, in addition to the housing 28 for the used crushing plate 25, a housing 34 for unused crushing plates 250 and another housing 34 on the lower side along with the notch 24. As a result, the unused grinding plates are equally securely held on the base plate 21, so that there is no need to provide a separate support and no unused grinding plates are lost.

The receptacle 34 of the unused grinding plate 25 is also formed by a channel-shaped guide slit 35 which is used for accommodating the edge of the unused grinding plate. The guide slit is formed between the mutually facing side surfaces of two adjacent reinforcing ribs 27 and one side wall portion 26.
The other side wall portion 26 has a corresponding introduction slit 36. The grinding plate 25 is also held in a clamping manner in this groove-shaped guide slot 35 which forms the receptacle 34 .

As is particularly clear from FIG. 1, the crushing plate 25 is formed by a thin plate 38 having a deeply curved knife edge of 37 ft. It extends to such a length that it protrudes laterally from. It protrudes laterally from the substrate 21. This rear end 39 of the crushing plate 25 is rolled up into a tubular shape for ease of handling. This allows the operator to easily use the crushing plate 25t.
- It can be removed from the receptacle 28 and another grinding plate can be reinserted.

It was provided on the back side of the substrate 21. The downward wall portion 26 has an extension portion 405c at one end that projects beyond the substrate 21, particularly as seen in FIG.

A tubular grip portion 20 is formed between the extension portions. The height of the wall portion 26 provided on the back surface of the substrate 21 is adapted to the load that occurs since the other end of the substrate 21 is illuminated from the grip portion 2a. As is particularly clear from FIG. 3, the downwardly facing wall 26 provided on the rear side of the substrate 21 is corrugated in the end region of the wall 26 on its free downwardly facing end surface. This wave-formed portion grips the upper edge of the substrate 21 when it is placed on a deep pot or plate, thereby preventing the substrate 21 from sliding. In this case, the protrusions can also be formed by pins or in the form of serrations.

In particular, as is clear from FIG.
A wall portion 21 that extends upward to the vertical edge of the grip portion 2Ω.
has. The wall transitions outwards into a wall 42 which is parallel to the upper side of the substrate 21 and serves for the placement of the remainder holder 23. The remainder retainer 23 includes a ring-shaped plate 43 that abuts against a wall 42 extending parallel to the upper surface 22 of the base plate 21, and the ring-shaped plate accommodates the material to be crushed. It has a slidable pressing portion 44. An additionally formed tubular receptacle 45 is traversed. In this case, the tubular receptacle 45 also protrudes from the ring-shaped plate 43 on the side facing towards the base plate 21 and reaches as far as the surface 22 of the base plate 21 . The ring-shaped plate 43 is guided between the upwardly facing wall 41 of the base plate 21 by a specific extension 46 formed thereon, and the outer edge of the tubular extension 46 and the outer diameter of the tubular receiving part 45. The one between the two is between the two.

The tubular receptacle 45 then has a triangular cross section with outwardly curved side surfaces 47, so that the tubular receptacle 45 has a non-circular cross section. The tubular receptacle 45 has several openings 49 for pressing projections 50 of the pressing part 44 at the end facing towards the substrate 21 . The bottom wall portion 48 of the tubular accommodating portion 45 has a metal stab pin 51 for the material to be crushed between the openings 49. The stab pin is held in a tubular extension 52. The material to be crushed is held by the stab pins 51 of the extension against displacement in the tubular storage part 45.

A cover 53 is formed on the pressing portion 44 and is guided in a limited sliding manner on the tubular housing portion 45 . The cover has a pressing projection 50 on its bottom 54. The projection is hollow and open on the side facing towards the bottom 54. This makes it easy to complete the cover 53 by injection molding from plastic. In this case, the wall thickness remains constant.

The tubular accommodating portion 45 has a locking projection 555c having a semicircular cross section at the end facing toward the substrate 21. This locking projection 55 cooperates with a stop 56 provided at the free end of the pressure projection 50. The locking projection 55 then engages in the slit 57 of the pressure projection 50, while the stop 56 is formed by the rear side of the end wall 58 of the pressure projection 50. These locking protrusions 55 allow the cover 5 to be removed from the tubular housing portion 45.
3 is prevented from leaving carelessly. In order to limit other directions, an upright intermediate wall 59 is provided at the bottom 54 of the cover 53 and between the pressing protrusions 50 as an insertion stop. This insertion stop comes into contact with the bottom wall 48 of the tubular receptacle.

The sliding movement of the cover 53 on the tubular receptacle 45 is thus limited. However, it is possible to disassemble it for cleaning purposes.

The locking projection 55Fi has a substantially semicircular cross section with an introduction ramp 60, thus facilitating the pushing up of the cover 53 onto the tubular receptacle 45.

The cover 53 has a pressing protrusion 50 having a circular cross section at the center. The pressure projection is surrounded by three other pressure projections 50, each of which has a circular cross section. As a result, almost the entire cross section of the inner diameter of the tubular accommodating portion 45 is easily filled with the pressing protrusion 50. The pressing projection 50 has a pressing tip 61 on its free end surface 58 . When used in a regular manner, these push-in tips 61 are pushed into the food to be crushed, thereby preventing the food from slipping inside the tubular accommodating portion 45 due to these tips.

The substrate 21 is provided with a stop 62 for the residue holder 23 at its northern end facing towards the gripping part 20, which stop protrudes from the surface of the substrate 210. In this way, the ring-shaped plate 43 of the remainder retainer 23 does not come toward the operator's fingers grasping the grip portion 20. The stop portion 62 has a rectangular cross section, and the reinforcing rib 27 is additionally formed at the center of the rib. However, the stop 62 can be additionally formed on the upper side of the substrate 21 in a simple manner.

The free end 63 of the stop 62 is bent somewhat towards the grip 20 . As a result, the stop 62 can simply be used as a hanging device for the remaining retainer 23. The ring-shaped plate 43 of the residue holder 23 additionally has an elongated hole 64, as can be seen in particular from FIG. .

In that case, the stop 62 engages in the elongated hole 64. That's the third
As shown in the figure. The entire device can then be hung by the grip 20 on a wall hook or the like.

In that case, a locking part can be provided to prevent it from accidentally coming off. As can be seen from FIG. 7a, the elongated hole 64 provided in the ring-shaped plate 43 of the residue holder 23 can be formed in an arcuate shape. This makes it easy to lock and tighten the stop portion 62.

As already described, the above embodiments are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. On the contrary, various other aspects are conceivable.

For example, it could be formed by 25 grinding plates into which metal knives are inserted and nine plastic sliding members.
