Cutting machine for domestic use - has adjusting knob with spiral groove actuating slide with guides for material support plate

The machine has a support plate for the material to be cut, movable in a plan parallel to the disc-type knife in two guides at opposite sides, inclined to the direction of adjustment which is effected by a hand-operated mechanism acting on a slide moving parallel to the support plate, and containing part of the guides, and is particularly for domestic use. The guides are contained in lateral flanges integral with the slide and at right angles to its direction of movement. Between plate and slide is a disc-shaped adjusting knob, with a spiral groove in its face nearest the slide. A pin on the slide works in this groove. The knob can be carried in a bearing on one sidewall, with the slide between it and the wall.

Radish cutter

In the radish cutter which is represented, the material which is to be cut, the radish or radishes, lies on a transporting carriage which is driven by a transporting worm (11) by means of the crank (18) which is represented or any other suitable rotational drive. In this arrangement, the transporting apparatus can be displaced by a hand crank (18), by way of various drive pulses, on the one hand by means of the crank (18), via the driveshaft (9) directly, and, on the other hand, by means of the material which is to be cut, said material, as transmission medium, transferring the rotational movement into a translation movement with the aid of the cutters. In this arrangement, the two drive media are supported against one another and are thus protected against the failure of one type of drive. The force transmission from the rotating drive parts to the translatory drive parts is also thereby ensured, the material which is to be cut again serving as coupling medium. The result is constant operational ...

Slide for the material to be cut on a cutting machine

The invention relates to a slide for the material to be cut on a cutting machine, in particular a domestic cutting machine, with a guide plate and a guide pin projecting from the latter and a feed plate guided pivotably on the pin between a first position approximately at right angles to the blade plane and a second position inclined relative to the blade plane. The object here is to provide a slide for the material to be cut of a type which is robust, easy to use and can be manufactured with low production outlay. This object is achieved by the fact that the feed plate has a latching device (latching hook 68, 70) which can be latched with two latching devices (through openings 24, 26) of the guide plate (4), and that the feed plate (10) furthermore has two bearings (40, 42) for accommodating the guide pin (22). ...
