9 Claims. (Cl. 76-85) This invention relates to a honing device for slicing blades, and particularly to a device for honing the cutting edge of a spirally shaped blade, such as a bacon slicing knife, without removing it from its housing.
Bacon slicing knives operate at substantial speed, and the bacon must be lsliced uniformly thin. Accordingly, the cutting edge of the blade must be kept constantly in proper condition for eiiicient slicing. Heretofore these blades have been honed by hand, but the curvature and the transverse angularity of the cutting edge have cornbined to make hand honing a slow and laborious process. In addition, a great degree of skill is required to properly hone an angular edge curved in the spiral shape of bacon slicing knives.
' In accordance with the present invention a honing tool in the form of a pin is mounted at the angle required, and is held against the cutting edge of the blade'by a mechanical device. No skill is required to hold the honing pin against the edge at the proper angle. Guide means for insuring proper alignment of the honing device is` `permanently secured to the blade housing frame out of the way of the knife. The guide means facilitates proper positioning of the honing device so that it may be applied quickly to the blade housing frame and readily removed after the edge of the slicing blade is properly honed.
The structure by means of which the above and other advantages of the invention are attained will be described in the following specilication, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, showing a preferred illustrative embodiment of the invention, in which:
' `Figure 1 is a front elevational view showing a knife rotatably mounted in a housing, with the honing device of the` present invention detachably mounted on the blade housing frame;
Fig. 2'is a cross sectional view, taken along the line Fig. '3 is -a fragmentary perspective view of the blade housing frame, with the guidebar for the honing device secured thereto; v
Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of a honing device embodying the invention;
Fig.,5 is a cross sectional view, taken along the line 5-5 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the vhoning device;
Fig. 7 is an end elevational view of the honing device;
Fig. 8 is a cross sectional view, taken along the line 8 8 of Fig. l, but omitting the blade housing frame; and
Fig. 9 is a cross sectional view, taken along the line 9 -9 of Fig. 7, but showing the honing pin in engagement with they cutting edge of a slicing blade.
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, the reference numeral V2 indicates a bacon slicing knife mounted on a rotatable shaft 3 adjacent the frame 4 of a suitable housing. A motor (not shown) rotates knife 2 in a vertical plane in clockwise direction, as seen in Fig. 1. The knife is shaped like a spiral so thatits cutting engagement with rlice a slab of bacon fed transversely of ythe knife by any suitable mechanism is progressive from the initial engagement until the slice is completely severed. It will be understood that the word spiral is used generically, and that the honing device may be used with cutting blades of any shape. The knife is also curved in cross section, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The outer edge 5, formed by the intersection of angular surfaces 6 and 7 is very thin, and the surface 6 must be honed to keep the edge extremely sharp.
A guide bar 8 is rigidly ysecured -to `the housing frame 4 by screws 9. Guide bar 8 extends horizontally and its inner end is spaced from shaft 3 a distance approximately equal to the distance from shaft 3 to the portion of the cutting edge closest thereto. The thickness of guide bar 8 is less than the distance between cutting edge 5 and the front surface of blade housing frame 4 to prevent the guide bar from interfering with the rotation of slicing blade 2.
The honing device comprises a pair of honing plates 10 and 11, a honing tool or pin 12, a honing pin holder 13, a spring pressed plate 14, a center plate 15, a spacer plate 16, and a holding plate 17. Honing plates 10 and 11 are secured to plate 14 by screws 14 (Fig. 9). Plates 15, 16 and 17 are Varranged with one end of each flush with the others and are rigidly secured together by means of screws 18. Plate 16 is shorter than plates 15 and 17 and provides a space between them beyond its -inner end. 'I'he honing device is adapted to straddle one edge of housing frame 4 with the inner end of `spacer plate 16 abutting the edge, and plates 15 and 17 adjacent opposite surfaces of the housing frame. Spacer plate 16 is slightly thicker than housing frame 4 to facilitate movement of the honing device relative to the housing frame so that the honing device may be easily positioned. When Ithe lower edge of center plate 15 abuts the upper edge of guide bar 8, and the inner end of spacer plate 16 abuts the peripheral edge of housing frame 4, the honing device is secured in place. A screw 19, threaded through holding plate 17, is tightened against therear surface yof housing frame 4 to secure the honing device in place. Screw 19 is preferably provided with a wing lhead 20 to facilitate manual turning of the screw.
hereinafter described.
screw `23. One end of spring 36 bears against plate 14 Y Y andthe other end bears against plate 15 to keep these As shown in Fig. 6, plate 14 has a longitudinal channel 37 disposed along the center line of its front surface. The inner edges 38 and 39 of honing plates 10 and 11, respectively, are spaced from the edges of channel 37 to provide ledges 40 and 41 on opposite edges of channel 37. Inner edges 3S and 39 of the honing plates extend upwardly from the surface of plate 14 at converging angles. Plates 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 17 constitute a frame in which the honing pin holder 13 is slidably mounted. The side walls of honing pin holder 13 are straight at their lower portions which are adaptedto t in the bottom of channel 37, and are provided with shoulders 42 and 43 (Fig. 7) to seat on ledges 40 and 41. The side wall portions of the honingpin holder 13 above shoulders 42 are iiared inwardly to fit against the inner edges 38 and 39 of the honing plates and to provide a sliding fit that will not permit removal of the honing pin holder from channel 37. Head 30 of screw 22 is positioned in channel 37 adjacent one end of the channel to prevent honing pin holder 13 from sliding out of the channel. Spring pressed plate 14 is considerably longer than plate 15 and, therefore, screw 21, which is positioned adjacent the end of platel15 is spaced a considerable distance inwardly of the opposite end of channel 37. Accordingly, a separate screw 44 is-threaded into plate 14 adjacent the opposite end from screw 22, and its head extends into channel 37 to prevent honing pin holder 13 from sliding out that end of the channel.
Honing pin holder 13 is provided with a handle 45 to facilitate sliding movement in cannel 37 between screws 22 and 44. Handle 45 is provided with a reduced end 46 (Fig. 8) threaded into honing pin holder 13. Holder 13 is also provided with lan angularly extending aperture 47 into which honing pin 12 is drive fitted. The honing pin is made of oil hardening tool steel, and is preferably provided with a medium straight knurl. Honing plates and 11 are provided adjacent the side walls of channel 37 with smooth outer surfaces 48 and 49, respectively, against which the back edge 7 of bacon slicing knife 2 abuts when the front edge 6 is being honed. The angle of the honing tool or pin 12 coincides with the angle of surface 6 when surface 7 is flush against surfaces 48 and 49. The front edge of honing pin holder 13 projects outwardly beyond surfaces 48 and 49. The front surface of holder 13 to the left of honing pin 12, as seen in Fig. 8, is recessed, as indicated at 50, to provide clearance so that the back surface of knife 2 will abut the smooth surfaces 48 and 49 when the knife edge is being honed.
When the bacon slicing knife is to be honed, the honing device is pushed over the edge of housing frame 4 with plates l5 and 17 straddling the edge of the housing frame above guide bar 8. The honing device is then moved downwardly and inwardly until the lower edge of plate 15 is flush against the top edge of guide bar 8 and the inner edge of plate 16 abuts the peripheral edge of housing frame 4. Screw 19 is then tightened to hold the honing device against movement relative to the housing frame.
A detachable handle 51 is secured in either of two apertures 52 (Fig. l) provided therefor, and knife 2 is manually rotated until the portion of cutting edge 5 that is closest to shaft 3 is adjacent the inner end of the honing device. The honing pin holder 13 is then slid in channel 37 until honing tool or pin 12 is ush against surface 6 of the knife. The operator holds handle 51 in one hand and handle 45 in the other. As he rotates knife 2 in a clockwist dirlectionv by manipulation of.
handle 51 he holds honing pin 12 against the surface 6 while permitting it to move outwardly in accordance with the spiral curvature of the knife. Although the back side of the knife is generally smooth, it may have some slight irregularity. Springs 36 tend to keep honing plates 1t) and 11 against the back surface of the knife, and if these plates are forced rearwardly by any irregularity in the back surface of the knife,y springs 36 will return the honing platesY totheir' proper position immediately after the irregularity has passed the. surfaces 48 and 49. The knife edge is honedwithout removing the knife from its operative position. As soon as the honing operation is completed screw 19is loosened, and the honing device is readily removed from1the housing frame. The guide bar 8 does not interfere with the regular operation of the knife and may remain on the housing frame permanently.
Although I'have described a preferred embodiment of the invention in considerable detail', `it will be under-y stood that the description thereof is intendedv to beillusf trative, rather than restrictive, as many' details may bey modied or changed without departingV from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, I do not desire to be restricted to the exact construction described.
