A melon wedger (10) is provided having a base (12) upon which is removably attached a blade assembly (14) having a plurality of blades (30) arranged in a variety of orientations. A movable press mechanism (16) including a removable contoured press element (46) corresponding in size and shape to the orientation and disposition of the blades in the blade assembly (14) is slidably attached to the base (12) and is operated by means of a lever handle (18) such that the contoured press element (46) is forced against the blade assembly (14). Punch elements (48) disposed on the surface of the contoured press element (46) are forced within the voids (50) created by the blades (30) to ensure that the sectioned or cut food or non-food pieces are forced completely through the blade assembly (14). A spring (70) is also provided on the lever handle (18) to force the handle up after the food or non-food items have been sliced, Blade assemblies (14) having different blade orientations and corresponding contoured press elements (46) may be provided for cutting various shapes and sizes of food and non-food items, each of which may be easily attached to or removed from the melon wedger.

摘要:
A manually-operable tool (10) for cutting or severing plastic strapping (26) comprises a housing (12) comprising a base portion or foundation (34), and an upstanding web and rib member (36,38). An insertion slot (28), for permitting insertion of plastic strapping (26) to be cut or severed, is defined between a lower edge portion of the upstanding web member (38) and an upper surface portion of the base portion or foundation (34). A cutting blade (20) is adjustably mounted upon the upstanding web member (38). A manually-manipulable handle (14) is pivotally mounted upon the housing (12), under the influence of a biasing spring (18) such that the handle (14) is normally disposed at an opened inoperative position, and includes a spring-biased pusher element (22) which is pivotally mounted upon the handle (14). The pusher element (22) is biased into engagement with the base portion or foundation (34) of the housing (12) by means of its own biasing spring (30) so as to in effect close or cover the entrance to the insertion slot (28). When plastic strapping (26) is to be cut or severed, the strap (26) is inserted into the insertion slot (28) by engaging the pusher element (22) and thereby causing the pusher element (22) to be moved out of the way against the biasing force of its biasing spring (30). Upon the plastic strapping (26) passing the pusher element (22), the pusher element (22) returns to its normally biased position wherein the pusher element (22) now engages the plastic strapping (26). Manipulation of the handle (14) toward the closed position causes the pusher element (22) to push the plastic strapping (26) into engagement with the cutting edge of the cutting blade (20) whereby the plastic strapping (26) is cut or severed.
摘要:
The invention concerns a food article slicing machine, comprising: a slicing station comprising a knife blade and a knife blade drive driving the blade along a cutting path in a cutting plane; a food article feed apparatus supporting one or more food articles for movement along food article paths intersecting the cutting path; and an information carrier system for reading data from removable parts of said slicing machine.
