Claims.
My invention relates to a device for slicing materials, such as cheese or butter; and the broad object is to provide a convenient means for slicing materials held by a support.
Another object is to provide a slicing device of the character described having a simple adjustment for controlling the thickness of slice.
A further object includes the provision of improved means for mounting a slicing means on a support.
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth in the following description of my invention. It is to be understood that I do not limit myself to this disclosure of species of my invention, as I may adopt variant embodiments thereof within the scope of the claims.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a slicer embodying the improvements of my invention; and
Figure 2 is a plan View of the same.
Figure 3 is a sectional view of the cutter, taken in a plane indicated by line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is an exploded View of portions of the cutter frame structure.
Figure 5 is an axial sectional view of a modied core sleeve for the guide roller.
In terms of broad inclusion, my slicer comprises a support for the material to be sliced; a cutting element pivotally mounted on the support for movement relative to the material; and means movable with the cutting element for controlling the thickness of slice. The latter means preferably comprises a conical guide roller journaled about an axis angularly disposed to the cutting element, and means for mounting the roller for adjustment along its axis. The cutting element and guide roller are preferably carried by a frame pivotally mounted at one end on the support and terminating in a handle at the other end.
In greater detail, and referring to the drawing, my improved slicer comprises a troughshaped support preferably made up of telescoping sections 2 and 3 for adjusting it to' the length of a material 4 to be sliced. I preferably form the support sections from sheet metal for lightness in weight and cheapness of construction, but other materials may be used. It is also understood that the support may be made of one piece, without the extension feature.
The slicing means comprises a cutting element 5 mounted on the support for movement across the end of the trough for slicing material 4, and
also includes a guide roller B mounted to'mcve with the cutting element for controlling the thickness of slice.v Roller 6 ridesagainst the face of material 4 to be sliced, and the spacing between the surface of the roller and element 5 determines the slice thickness, as shown in Figure 2. The guide roller is preferably conical in shape and is slidably journaled about an axis angularly disposed to the element, so that shifting the roller along its axis Varies the spacing between it and the cutting element, thereby adjusting the thickness of slice.
The parts are carried .by a frame comprising a rod 'I mounted at one end on a pivot head 8 and terminating at the other end in a handle 9. Pivot head 8 has a transverse hole providing a socket II for a stud I2 formed by the end of frame rod 1. The remaining parts of the pivot are made up of a base piece I3 fastened to support 2 by a lock nut I4, with a pin I6 projecting through base I3 and into head 8 so that stud end I2 of the frame also engages a transverse hole in the pin. The opposing faces of the head and base of the pivot may be conically shaped for seating engagement.
Guide roller 6 is slidably journaled on the intermediate portions of frame rod I, and the latter is bent outwardly at the pivot to form an angle between the rod and cutting element 5. See Figures 2 and 3. This angle is equal to the apex angle of the roller so as to position the rolling contact surface parallel with the cutting element. The roller is preferably provided with a core sleeve I1 split at one end and provided with tapered threads engaged by a nut I8 for locking the roller in a selected position of axial adjustment. As the roller is shifted to the left (Figure 3) the spacing between the roller and cutting element is increased as indicated by the dotted line position of the roller.
Cutting element 5 is preferably formed by a taut wire stretched between an arm I9 on the frame and the pivot head 8, Arm I9 is held between a threaded sleeve 2| of the handle and a nut 22; the end of frame rod I being slotted as shown in Figure 4 to engage tongues 23 of the arm to prevent the latter from turning. The end of Wire 5 is wrapped about arm I9 and fastened by a lip 24, and the arm is offset to position the wire along the center line of frame rod 1.
The other end of cutting wire 5 is Wrapped in a groove 26 on pivot head 8 and the tip of the wire set in a hole adjacent the groove. As
' shown in Figure 1, frame rod I is also bent at wire along the center line of the rod. This bend also limits the distance which stud end i2 enters socket Il, so that taut Wire 5 also serves to hold the parts assembled.
Figure 5 shows a modified core sleeve for the roller, comprising two half- sections 21 and 28 held .together Aby washer 29 at one end and nut 3| at the other end. By this split sleeve arrangement the sleeve and roller may be assembled on rod 'l after the bends are formed; the core hole in the roller being large enough to slip over the rather small bend at the handle end of the frame when the parts are assembled.
I claim:
1. A slicer comprising a pivotally mounted.cut.
ting element, a conical guide roller journaled about an axis angularly disposed to said element, and means mounting the roller for adjustment along said axis.
2. A slicer comprising a pivotally mounted cutting element, a conical guide roller journaled about an axis angularly disposed to said element, means mounting the roller for adjustment along said axis, and means for holding the roller in a selected position of adjustment.
3. A slicer comprising a support for material to be sliced, a cutting frame pivotally mounted at one end to the support and terminating in a handle at the other end, a cutting element carried by the frame for movement relative to said material, and a guide roller journaled on the cutting frame about an axis extending longitudinally of said element and transversely of the pivot axis of said frame.
4. A slicer comprising a pivot having a socket, a cutting frame having a stud at one end for engaging said socket and terminating in a handle at the other end, and a taut Wire stretched between the handle end of the frame and said pivot to provide a cutting element and to hold the frame stud in said socket.
5. A slicer comprising a support, a cutting element mounted for pivotal movement in a plane adjacent the support, a conical roller journaled about an axis angularly disposed to said element, and means mounting the roller for adjustment along said axis to vary the spacing between the roller and said element.
