摘要:
A support plate mounts a matrix of tubular cutters orthogonally mounted to the plate, with the tubular cutters projecting through the plate, whereupon projecting of the tubular cutters through an associated potato projects cylindrical segments rearwardly of the plate for use as "French-fry" type potatoes. The plate includes interfitting projections received within associated recesses to position and maintain the plate relative to an associated die table, wherein the die table includes crossed support bars to support a potato thereon, and wherein the support bars are received through the matrix of cutting tubes and wherein the recesses each include a respective floor spaced from a die table floor a spacing substantially equal to an associated projecting tubular cutter.

An apparatus consisting of portable elongated body containing a single centrally located slidable actuator between two cavities for the loading of foodstuff. This actuator connects to a slidable mover located within each cavity, such that application of downward force against the actuator causes both movers to simultaneously push loaded foodstuffs through removable sets of cutting blades, located at opposite ends of the apparatus. These movers, connected with a tension spring, and the actuator return to the load position upon release of the downward force.

An apparatus for forming individual serving portions of a frozen dairy confection from a block of the confection. A frame having a plurality of interconnected electrically conductive wires stretched across its sides serves as a die. The wires define a plurality of apertures. An electric power supply provides current to the wires and the electrical resistance of the wires heats the wires. Means are provided for moving a block of the frozen confection through the apertures so that the heated wires cut the block into the individual serving portions.

A food article feed apparatus for a food article slicing machine. The apparatus has conveyor with a drive belt for connecting a drive source to a drive roller, and a conveyor belt. The drive roller is for driving the conveyor. The drive roller has an outer diameter and a recessed diameter where the drive belt is connected around the recessed diameter and the conveyor belt is connected around the outer diameter. The drive belt operates within an area defined by the first conveyor belt.
摘要:
A food article slicing machine includes a slicing station, a food article feed apparatus, and an automated blade retraction mechanism. The food article feed apparatus supports one or more food articles for movement along food article paths intersecting the cutting path. The automated blade retraction mechanism periodically retracts the blade from the cutting plane to make empty cuts during a continuous cutting operation. The retracting mechanism includes a sliding member arranged outside the blade shaft, the sliding member guided for sliding movement and non-rotation and arranged to exert a sliding force on the blade shaft. A linear actuator causes the sliding member to slide and exert a sliding force on the blade shaft to retract the knife blade away from the cutting plane in a direction along the axis of the blade shaft.
