Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln mit einem Basisteil, das eine Aufnahme aufweist, die wenigstens zwei Schneidteile übereinander aufnehmen kann, und mit einem Betätigungsteil, das einen Pressstempel aufweist, mittels dem zu zerkleinerndes Gut entlang einer Durchdrückrichtung durch die in die Aufnahme eingesetzten Schneidteile drückbar sind, wobei die zwei Schneidteile mit unterschiedlichen Drehausrichtungen relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme anordenbar sind.The invention relates to a device for comminuting food with a base part which has a receptacle which can accommodate at least two cutting parts one above the other, and with an actuating part which has a press ram, by means of the material to be comminuted along a push-through direction through those inserted into the receptacle Cutting parts can be pressed, wherein the two cutting parts can be arranged in the receptacle with different rotational orientations relative to one another.

Aus DE 10 2007 042 660 A1 ist ein Handgerät bekannt, das zwei Handgriffteile aufweist. An einem Handgriffteil ist ein Pressstempel und an dem anderen Handgriffteil ein Schneidteil angeordnet. Das Schneidteil weist eine Schneidklingenanordnung auf, mittels der das Lebensmittelgut in Spalten geschnitten werden kann. Bei der Zubereitung von Lebensmitteln ist es jedoch oftmals notwendig, Lebensmittel auch in andere Formen als Spalten zu schneiden. Um dies zu erreichen, müssen andere Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtungen eingesetzt werden. Ähnliche Geräte sind aus US 2014/0190019 A1 und aus EP 1 874 508 B1 bekannt.Out DE 10 2007 042 660 A1 a hand-held device is known which has two handle parts. A press ram is arranged on one handle part and a cutting part is arranged on the other handle part. The cutting part has a cutting blade arrangement by means of which the food can be cut into columns. However, when preparing food, it is often necessary to cut food into shapes other than slits. To achieve this, other food crushers must be used. Similar devices are out US 2014/0190019 A1 and from EP 1 874 508 B1 known.

US 4 062 260 offenbart eine Schneidpresse mit einem Stempel und einem Schneidgitter, das mehrere parallel zueinander angeordnete Messerklingen aufweist. An seiner Unterseite mittels der ein Lebensmittel gegen das Schneidgitter pressbar ist, weist der Stempel Rillen derart auf, dass die zwischen den Rillen angeordneten Stempelelemente in die Bereiche zwischen den Messerklingen eindringen können. Die Unterseite des Stempels weist außerdem eine konkave Oberfläche als Pressfläche für ein Lebensmittel auf. US 4,062,260 discloses a cutting press with a punch and a cutting grid which has a plurality of knife blades arranged parallel to one another. On its underside, by means of which a food item can be pressed against the cutting grid, the stamp has grooves such that the stamp elements arranged between the grooves can penetrate into the areas between the knife blades. The underside of the stamp also has a concave surface as a pressing surface for a food.

GB 2 312 613 offenbart eine Presse, in die ein Lebensmittel eingelegt werden kann. Mittels eines Hebels und eines daran angelenkten Hebels kann das Lebensmittel, das auf einem Schneidgitter liegt, durchgedrückt und zerkleinert werden. GB 2 312 613 discloses a press into which food can be placed. By means of a lever and a lever articulated thereon, the food lying on a cutting grid can be pushed through and crushed.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln anzugeben, die es erlaubt, Lebensmittelgut vielseitig in verschiedene Schneidformen zu zerkleinern.It is the object of the present invention to provide a device for comminuting food which allows commodities to be comminuted in various cutting forms.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass das Betätigungsteil gelenkig mit dem Basisteil verbunden ist und gegen das Basisteil schwenkbar ist, um mittels des eine Schwenkbewegung ausführenden Pressstempels zu zerkleinerndes Gut entlang der Durchdrückrichtung durch die in die Aufnahme eingesetzten Schneidteile zu drücken, wobei die in der Aufnahme übereinander gestapelten Schneidteile unabhängig von der gewählten Drehausrichtung in ihrer Relativausrichtung zueinander in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Durchdrückrichtung dadurch fixiert sind, dass eines der in der Aufnahme übereinander gestapelten Schneidteile ein Koppelmittel aufweist, das mit einem Gegenkoppelmittel des anderen Schneidteils wirkverbunden ist.The object is achieved by a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the actuating part is connected in an articulated manner to the base part and can be pivoted against the base part in order to be comminuted along the push-through direction by means of the press die which carries out a pivoting movement To press the inserted cutting parts, the cutting parts stacked one above the other in the recording irrespective of the selected rotational orientation in terms of their relative orientation to one another, are fixed in a plane perpendicular to the push-through direction in that one of the cutting parts stacked one above the other in the receptacle has a coupling means which is operatively connected to a counter coupling means of the other cutting part.

Die Erfindung hat den ganz besonderen Vorteil, dass vielseitig ein Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln in ganz unterschiedliche Schneidformen ermöglicht ist, ohne dass genauso viele unterschiedliche Schneidteile vorhanden sein müssen, wie es mögliche Schneidformen geben soll. Vielmehr ermöglicht es die vorliegende Erfindung, durch die Kombination unterschiedlicher Schneidteile und/oder durch die Auswahl unterschiedlicher Drehausrichtungen von Schneidteilen ein Zerkleinern in unterschiedliche Schneidformen. Beispielsweise ist es möglich, was weiter unten noch im Detail erläutert wird, dieselben beiden Schneidteile in einer ersten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme anzuordnen, um Scheiben zu schneiden oder alternativ in einer zweiten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme anzuordnen, um beispielsweise im Querschnitt rautenförmige Stifte zu schneiden. Auch ist es möglich, dieselben beiden Schneidteile in einer dritten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme anzuordnen, beispielsweise um im Querschnitt quadratische oder rechteckige Stifte oder Würfel zu schneiden.The invention has the very special advantage that it is possible to shred food in a wide variety of cutting shapes in a variety of ways, without having to have as many different cutting parts as there are possible cutting shapes. Rather, the present invention enables comminution into different cutting shapes by combining different cutting parts and / or by selecting different rotational orientations of cutting parts. For example, it is possible, which will be explained in more detail below, to arrange the same two cutting parts in a first rotational orientation relative to one another in the receptacle in order to cut disks or alternatively to arrange them in a second rotational orientation in relation to one another in the receptacle, for example to have a diamond-shaped cross section To cut pens. It is also possible to arrange the same two cutting parts in a third rotational orientation relative to one another in the receptacle, for example to cut pins or cubes that are square or rectangular in cross section.

Durch die Erfindung besteht keine Notwendigkeit mehr, für unterschiedliche Schneidformen unterschiedliche Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtungen zu verwenden.The invention eliminates the need to use different food chopping devices for different cutting shapes.

Allerdings ist es nach einem eigenständigen Erfindungsgedanken, insbesondere in Kombination mit einem der weiter unten beschriebenen, besonderen Pressstempel auch möglich, in einfacher Weise ausschließlich durch Kombinieren unterschiedlicher Schneidteile in der Aufnahme in unterschiedliche Schneidformen zu schneiden. Hierbei ist es von ganz besonderem Vorteil, wenn ein und derselbe Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, für unterschiedliche Kombinationen von in der Aufnahme angeordneten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden.However, according to an independent inventive concept, in particular in combination with one of the special press punches described below, it is also possible to cut into different cutting shapes in a simple manner solely by combining different cutting parts in the receptacle. It is particularly advantageous here if one and the same press punch is designed to be used for different combinations of cutting parts arranged in the receptacle.

Die Schneidteile sind ganz besonders vorteilhaft derart übereinander stapelbar, dass die Schneidteile in ihrer Relativausrichtung zueinander, insbesondere in ihrer Drehausrichtung zueinander in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Durchdrückrichtung, fixiert sind.The cutting parts are very particularly advantageously stackable one above the other in such a way that the cutting parts are fixed in their relative alignment with one another, in particular in their rotational alignment with one another in a plane perpendicular to the push-through direction.

Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass sich die Schneidteile bei einem Zerkleinerungsvorgang nicht relativ zueinander bewegen. Eine Relativbewegung der Schneidteile wäre insbesondere deshalb nachteilig, weil dann die Gefahr bestünde, dass die Schneidklingen der Schneidteile nicht in die hierfür vorgesehenen Nuten des Pressstempels eintauchen würden. Insoweit verhindert die Erfindung, dass der Pressstempel bei einem Zerkleinerungsvorgang durch die Schneidklingen beschädigt wird.This ensures that the cutting parts do not move relative to one another during a comminution process. A relative movement of the cutting parts would be disadvantageous in particular because then there would be the danger that the cutting blades of the cutting parts would not dip into the grooves of the press ram provided for this purpose. In this respect, the invention prevents the press ram from being crushed by the Cutting blades are damaged.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführung sind die Schneidteile derart übereinander stapelbar, dass die Schneidebenen der Schneidklingen der gestapelten Schneidteile parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Schneidteile derart übereinander stapelbar sind, dass Schneidebenen der Schneidklingen der gestapelten Schneidteile voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind. Diese Ausführungen sind besonders vorteilhaft, um unterschiedliche Drehausrichtungen der Schneidteile relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme zu ermöglichen.In an advantageous embodiment, the cutting parts can be stacked one above the other in such a way that the cutting planes of the cutting blades of the stacked cutting parts are arranged parallel to one another. Alternatively or additionally, it can advantageously be provided that the cutting parts can be stacked one above the other in such a way that cutting planes of the cutting blades of the stacked cutting parts are arranged at a distance from one another. These designs are particularly advantageous in order to enable different rotational orientations of the cutting parts relative to one another in the receptacle.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführung, die eine flexible Kombination der Anordnung und der relativen Drehausrichtung von Schneidteilen in der Aufnahme ermöglicht, weisen die Schneidteile gleiche Außenabmessungen auf. Alternativ kann vorteilhaft wenigstens vorgesehen sein, dass die Schneidteile in einer zur Durchdrückrichtung senkrechten Ebene gleiche Außenabmessungen aufweisen.In an advantageous embodiment, which enables a flexible combination of the arrangement and the relative rotational alignment of cutting parts in the receptacle, the cutting parts have the same external dimensions. Alternatively, it can advantageously be provided at least that the cutting parts have the same external dimensions in a plane perpendicular to the pushing direction.

Insbesondere um übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnete Schneidteile relativ zueinander zu fixieren, kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass wenigstens ein Schneidteil ein Koppelmittel aufweist, das dazu ausgebildet und bestimmt ist, mit einem Gegenkoppelmittel eines anderen Schneidteils formschlüssig wirkverbunden zu werden.In particular, in order to fix cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle relative to one another, it can advantageously be provided that at least one cutting part has a coupling means which is designed and intended to be positively connected to a counter coupling means of another cutting part.

Insbesondere ist es auch möglich, dass wenigstens ein Schneidteil sowohl ein Koppelmittel, das dazu ausgebildet und bestimmt ist, mit einem Gegenkoppelmittel eines anderen Schneidteils, insbesondere formschlüssig, wirkverbunden zu werden, als auch ein Gegenkoppelmittel, das dazu ausgebildet und bestimmt ist, mit einem Koppelmittel eines anderen Schneidteils wirkverbunden zu werden, aufweist.In particular, it is also possible for at least one cutting part to have both a coupling means which is designed and intended to be operatively connected to a countercoupling means of another cutting part, in particular in a form-fitting manner, and a countercoupling means which is designed and intended to do so with a coupling means of another cutting part to be operatively connected.

Das Koppelmittel kann vorteilhaft als Zahnung ausgebildet sein oder eine Zahnung aufweisen. Die Zahnung kann Zähne mit abgerundetem Zahnkopf und/oder abgerundetem Zahnfuß aufweisen. Analog kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass das Gegenkoppelmittel als Gegenzahnung ausgebildet ist oder eine Gegenzahnung aufweist. Auch die Gegenzahlung kann Zähne mit abgerundetem Zahnkopf und/oder abgerundetem Zahnfuß aufweisen.The coupling means can advantageously be designed as teeth or have teeth. The teeth can have teeth with a rounded tooth head and / or a rounded tooth base. Analogously, it can advantageously be provided that the counter-coupling means is designed as counter-toothing or has counter-toothing. The counter payment can also have teeth with a rounded tooth head and / or a rounded tooth base.

Besonders robust und einfach handhabbar ist eine Ausführung, bei der die Schneidteile jeweils einen Klingenhalter aufweisen, an dem wenigstens eine Schneidklinge, insbesondere nicht zerstörungsfrei lösbar, befestigt ist.A particularly robust and easy-to-use design is one in which the cutting parts each have a blade holder to which at least one cutting blade is attached, in particular in a manner that cannot be released without being destroyed.

Insbesondere kann der Klingenhalter das Koppelmittel und/oder das Gegenkoppelmittel aufweisen. Bei einer besonderen Ausführung, die ein einfaches und zuverlässiges Koppeln der in die Aufnahme übereinander eingesetzten Schneidteile erlaubt, weist der Klingenhalter als Koppelmittel eine gegen die Durchdrückrichtung ausgerichtete Zahnung auf. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann der Klingenhalter als Gegenkoppelmittel eine in Durchdrückrichtung ausgerichtete Gegenzahnung aufweisen.In particular, the blade holder can the coupling means and / or the counter coupling means exhibit. In a special embodiment, which allows simple and reliable coupling of the cutting parts inserted one above the other into the receptacle, the blade holder has a toothing which is aligned against the push-through direction as coupling means. As an alternative or in addition, the blade holder can have counter teeth aligned in the push-through direction as counter coupling means.

Der Klingenhalter kann insbesondere als Rahmen ausgebildet sein, der in einer Schneidklingenebene des Schneidteils wenigstens eine Schneidklinge, insbesondere mehrere in einer Schneidklingenanordnung angeordnete Schneidklingen, umgibt. Insbesondere kann eine Stirnseite des Rahmens die Zahnung oder die Gegenzahnung aufweisen.The blade holder can in particular be designed as a frame which surrounds at least one cutting blade, in particular a plurality of cutting blades arranged in a cutting blade arrangement, in a cutting blade plane of the cutting part. In particular, one end face of the frame can have the toothing or the counter toothing.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Klingenhalter der Schneidteile gleich ausgebildet sind oder wenn die Klingenhalter der Schneidteile in der Schneidebene und/oder in einer zur Durchdrückrichtung senkrechten Ebene gleiche Abmessungen aufweisen. Eine solche Ausführung ermöglicht es vorteilhaft, mehrere Schneidteile in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen und/oder relativen Drehausrichtungen in der Aufnahme anzuordnen.It is particularly advantageous if the blade holders of the cutting parts are of identical design or if the blade holders of the cutting parts have the same dimensions in the cutting plane and / or in a plane perpendicular to the direction of pushing through. Such an embodiment advantageously makes it possible to arrange several cutting parts in different combinations and / or relative rotational orientations in the receptacle.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführung sind die Klingenhalter quadratisch ausgebildet. Eine solche Ausführung ermöglicht es, Schneidteile passgenau in einer ersten Drehausrichtung und in einer um 90 Grad gedrehten Drehausrichtung in der Aufnahme anzuordnen. Ganz allgemein kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Schneidteile eine Drehsymmetrie aufweisen.In a special version, the blade holders are square. Such an embodiment makes it possible to arrange cutting parts in a precisely fitting manner in a first rotational orientation and in a rotational orientation rotated by 90 degrees in the receptacle. In general, it can advantageously be provided that the cutting parts have rotational symmetry.

Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass zwei Schneidteile wahlweise wenigstens mit einer ersten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander oder mit einer zweiten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander, in der Aufnahme anordenbar sind, wobei sich die erste Drehausrichtung durch einen Drehwinkel von 45 Grad oder von 90 Grad von der zweiten Drehausrichtung unterscheidet. Allerdings sind auch andere Winkel möglich.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that two cutting parts can be arranged in the receptacle, at least with a first rotational orientation relative to one another or with a second rotational orientation relative to one another, the first rotational orientation being characterized by an angle of rotation of 45 degrees or 90 degrees the second rotation direction. However, other angles are also possible.

Vorzugsweise weisen wenigstens zwei der Schneidteile unterschiedliche Schneidklingenanordnungen auf. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, dass zwei der Schneidteile gleiche Schneidklingenanordnungen aufweisen, wobei dennoch unterschiedliche Schneidformen durch unterschiedliche Drehausrichtungen der Schneidteile relativ zueinander realisierbar sind.At least two of the cutting parts preferably have different cutting blade arrangements. However, it is also possible for two of the cutting parts to have the same cutting blade arrangements, although different cutting shapes can nevertheless be achieved by different rotational orientations of the cutting parts relative to one another.

Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung weist ein erstes Schneidteil zueinander parallele erste Schneidklingen auf, während ein zweites Schneidteil ebenfalls zueinander parallele zweite Schneidklingen aufweist. Hierbei ist es möglich, das erste Schneidteil und das zweite Schneidteil derart übereinander in der Aufnahme anzuordnen, dass die ersten Schneidklingen und die zweiten Schneidklingen parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass das erste Schneidteil und das zweite Schneidteil derart übereinander in der Aufnahme anordenbar sind, dass die ersten Schneidklingen und die zweiten Schneidklingen parallel zueinander jedoch in einer Projektion entlang der Durchdrückrichtung versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. Eine solche Anordnung dient insbesondere zum Schneiden in Scheiben.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a first cutting part has first cutting blades which are parallel to one another, while a second cutting part likewise has second cutting blades which are parallel to one another. It is possible to arrange the first cutting part and the second cutting part one above the other in the receptacle in such a way that the first cutting blades and the second cutting blades are arranged parallel to each other. In particular, it can advantageously be provided that the first cutting part and the second cutting part can be arranged one above the other in the receptacle in such a way that the first cutting blades and the second cutting blades are arranged parallel to one another, but offset from one another in a projection along the push-through direction. Such an arrangement is used in particular for cutting into slices.

Zum Realisieren einer anderen Schneidform können das erste Schneidteil und das zweite Schneidteil derart übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnet werden, dass die ersten Schneidklingen und die zweiten Schneidklingen in einer Projektion entlang der Durchdrückrichtung gekreuzt zueinander angeordnet sind und/oder in einer Projektion entlang der Durchdrückrichtung einen rechten Winkel zueinander aufweisen.. Eine solche Anordnung dient insbesondere zum Schneiden in Stifte oder Würfel.To implement a different cutting shape, the first cutting part and the second cutting part can be arranged one above the other in the receptacle in such a way that the first cutting blades and the second cutting blades are arranged crossed over to one another in a projection along the push-through direction and / or a right one in a projection along the push-through direction Have angles to each other .. Such an arrangement is particularly useful for cutting into pencils or cubes.

Vorzugsweise weist das Betätigungsteil einen Pressstempel auf, wobei insbesondere vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein kann, dass der Pressstempel Nuten aufweist, in die die Schneidklingen der in die Aufnahme eingesetzten Schneidteile bei einem Zerkleinerungsvorgang eintauchen.The actuating part preferably has a press stamp, it being possible, in particular, for the press stamp to have grooves into which the cutting blades of the cutting parts inserted into the receptacle are immersed during a comminution process.

Bei einer vorteilhaften und insbesondere einfach bedienbaren Ausführung ist der Pressstempel unlösbar, insbesondere nicht zerstörungsfrei lösbar, an einem Presshebel des Betätigungsteils angeordnet. Der Pressstempel kann beispielsweise mittels einer stoffschlüssigen Verbindung mit einem Presshebel des Betätigungsteils verbunden sein. Alternativ können der Pressstempel und der Presshebel gemeinsam einstückig hergestellt sein. Eine nicht lösbare Verbindung des Pressstempels mit dem Presshebel bietet den Vorteil, dass der Pressstempel im Einsatz der Vorrichtung nicht verloren gehen kann. Hierbei kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass der Pressstempel eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Nuten und/oder Nutensätze aufweist, so dass der Pressstempel zum Durchdrücken von Lebensmittelgut durch in unterschiedliche Kombinationen und/oder Drehausrichtungen übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnete Schneidteile verwendet werden kann.In an advantageous and, in particular, easy-to-use embodiment, the press ram is arranged on a press lever of the actuating part in a non-detachable, in particular non-destructive, manner. The press ram can be connected to a press lever of the actuating part, for example, by means of a material connection. Alternatively, the press ram and the press lever can be made together in one piece. A non-releasable connection of the press ram to the press lever offers the advantage that the press ram cannot be lost when the device is used. In particular, it can be provided that the press ram has a large number of different grooves and / or groove sets, so that the press ram can be used to push food items through cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle in different combinations and / or rotational orientations.

Bei einer anderen Ausführung ist der Pressstempel lösbar, insbesondere zerstörungsfrei und/oder werkzeugfrei wieder lösbar, an einem Presshebel des Betätigungsteils festgelegt oder festlegbar. Jedoch kann auch bei einer solchen Ausführung vorgesehen sein, dass der Pressstempel eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Nuten und/oder Nutensätze aufweist, so dass der Pressstempel zum Durchdrücken von Lebensmittelgut durch in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen und/oder Drehausrichtungen übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnete Schneidteile verwendet werden kann.In another embodiment, the press ram is detachable, in particular detachable without destruction and / or without tools, fixed or fixable on a press lever of the actuating part. However, it can also be provided in such an embodiment that the press ram has a large number of different grooves and / or groove sets, so that the press ram can be used to push food items through cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle in different combinations and / or rotational orientations.

Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass zum Durchdrücken von Lebensmittelgut durch in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen und/oder Drehausrichtungen übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnete Schneidteile mehrere unterschiedliche Pressstempel vorhanden sind, von denen jeweils der für die gerade gewählte Kombination und/oder Drehausrichtung übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordneter Schneidteile passende Pressstempel ausgewählt und an dem Presshebel angeordnet wird.However, it is also possible for several different press punches to be used to push food items through cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle in different combinations and / or rotational orientations, each of which has the cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle for the currently selected combination and / or rotational orientation suitable press stamp is selected and arranged on the press lever.

Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung ist der Pressstempel als Doppelpressstempel ausgebildet, der zwei, insbesondere unterschiedliche, Einzelpressstempel aufweist und der wahlweise in einer ersten Wirkstellung oder in einer zweiten Wirkstellung an einem Presshebel des Betätigungsteils festgelegt ist oder festlegbar ist. Bei einer solchen Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass einer oder beide Einzelpressstempel eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Nuten und/oder Nutensätze aufweist, so dass der Einzelpressstempel zum Durchdrücken von Lebensmittelgut durch in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen und/oder Drehausrichtungen übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnete Schneidteile verwendet werden kann. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass einer oder beide Einzelpressstempel zum Durchdrücken von Lebensmittelgut durch ein ganz bestimmtes Schneidteil oder durch eine ganz bestimmte Kombination von Schneidteilen oder durch eine ganz bestimmte Kombination von Schneidteilen in einer bestimmten Drehausrichtung ausgebildet ist.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, the press ram is designed as a double press ram which has two, in particular different, single press rams and which is fixed or can be fixed either in a first active position or in a second active position on a press lever of the actuating part. In such an embodiment it can be provided that one or both individual press punches have a large number of different grooves and / or groove sets, so that the single press punch can be used to push food items through cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle in different combinations and / or rotational orientations. However, it is also possible for one or both individual press punches to be designed to push food items through a very specific cutting part or through a very specific combination of cutting parts or through a very specific combination of cutting parts in a specific rotational orientation.

Der Doppelpressstempel kann vorteilhaft insbesondere derart ausgebildet sein, dass er von der ersten Wirkstellung durch Drehen, insbesondere durch ein Herumdrehen um 180 Grad, in die zweite Wirkstellung überführbar ist. Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass der Doppelpressstempel wahlweise in der ersten Wirkstellung oder in der zweiten Wirkstellung an einem Presshebel festgelegt werden kann.The double press ram can advantageously be designed in particular in such a way that it can be transferred from the first active position to the second active position by rotating, in particular by rotating around 180 degrees. In particular, it can advantageously be provided that the double press ram can be attached to a press lever either in the first active position or in the second active position.

Wie bereits erwähnt kann ganz allgemein vorgesehen sein, dass derselbe Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit unterschiedlichen in die Aufnahme eingesetzten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden und/oder dass derselbe Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit unterschiedlichen Kombinationen (insbesondere auch bei unterschiedlichen Drehausrichtungen der Schneidteile zueinander) von in die Aufnahme eingesetzten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorteilhaft insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass ein und derselbe Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit mehreren in der Aufnahme übereinander angeordneten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden, unabhängig davon, welche Drehausrichtung die in der Aufnahme übereinander angeordneten Schneidteile relativ zueinander aufweisen.As already mentioned, it can be provided in general that the same press stamp is designed to be used with different cutting parts inserted into the receptacle and / or that the same press stamp is designed to use different combinations (in particular also with different rotational orientations of the cutting parts relative to one another) cutting parts used in the receptacle. As an alternative or in addition, it can advantageously be provided in particular that one and the same press punch is designed to be used with a plurality of cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle, irrespective of the rotational orientation of the cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle relative to one another.

Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung beinhaltet der Pressstempel einen Nutensatz, der wenigstens zwei zueinander parallel verlaufende Nuten aufweist, und einen anderen Nutensatz mit einer ersten anderen Nut, wobei die erste andere Nut die wenigstens zwei Nuten jeweils in einem Winkel größer 0 Grad und kleiner 90 Grad (rechter Winkel) schneidet. Insbesondere ein solcher Pressstempel kann unlösbar, insbesondere nicht zerstörungsfrei lösbar, an einem Presshebel des Betätigungsteils angeordnet sein, weil insbesondere ein solcher Pressstempel vorteilhaft zum Durchdrücken von Lebensmittelgut durch unterschiedliche Kombinationen und/oder Drehausrichtungen übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordneter Schneidteile verwendet werden kann. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass ein solcher Pressstempel lösbar an einem Presshebel festlegbar ist.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, the press punch contains a set of grooves which has at least two grooves running parallel to one another and another Groove set with a first other groove, the first other groove intersecting the at least two grooves each at an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees (right angle). In particular, such a press ram can be arranged on a press lever of the actuating part in a non-detachable, in particular non-destructive, manner, because such a press ram in particular can advantageously be used to push food items through different combinations and / or rotational orientations of cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle. However, it is also possible for such a press ram to be releasably secured to a press lever.

Ein solcher Pressstempel weist den Vorteil auf, dass derselbe Pressstempel in Eingriff mit mehreren Schneidteilen mit unterschiedlichen Schneidklingenanordnungen und/oder unterschiedlichen Drehausrichtungen relativ zueinander gebracht werden kann. Dies bedeutet, dass sich mittels derselben Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln unterschiedliche Schneidformen für das geschnittene Lebensmittelgut realisieren lassen, ohne dass der Pressstempel gewechselt werden muss.Such a press punch has the advantage that the same press punch can be brought into engagement with a plurality of cutting parts with different cutting blade arrangements and / or different rotational orientations relative to one another. This means that different cutting shapes for the cut food can be realized by means of the same device for chopping food, without the press ram having to be changed.

Außerdem ermöglicht ein solcher Pressstempel den Einsatz von Schneidteilen oder Kombinationen von Schneidteilen mit Schneidklingenanordnungen, die bislang nicht oder nur umständlich eingesetzt werden konnten. Insbesondere kann ein Schneidteil oder eine Kombinationen von Schneidteilen verwendet werden, das bzw. die zwei zueinander parallel verlaufende Schneidklingen und eine weitere Schneidklinge aufweist, die die beiden zueinander parallel verlaufenden Schneidklingen in einem Winkel größer 0° und kleiner 90° schneidet.In addition, such a press ram enables the use of cutting parts or combinations of cutting parts with cutting blade arrangements, which previously could not be used or only with great difficulty. In particular, a cutting part or a combination of cutting parts can be used which has two mutually parallel cutting blades and a further cutting blade which cuts the two mutually parallel cutting blades at an angle greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °.

Als Nut wird im Sinne der Erfindung eine Vertiefung im Pressstempel verstanden. Die Nut dient zur Aufnahme einer Schneidklinge eines Schneidteils bei einem Zerkleinerungsvorgang.In the sense of the invention, a groove is understood to be a depression in the press stamp. The groove serves to receive a cutting blade of a cutting part during a shredding process.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführung kann der andere Nutensatz des besonderen Pressstempels eine zweite andere Nut aufweisen. Die erste andere Nut und die zweite andere Nut können sich in einem Kreuzungsbereich schneiden. Die erste andere Nut und die zweite andere Nut können sich in einem Winkel ungleich 90° schneiden. Die zweite andere Nut kann die Nuten des Nutensatzes jeweils in einem Winkel größer 0° und kleiner als 90° schneiden. Insbesondere kann die erste andere Nut die wenigstens zwei Nuten in demselben Winkel wie die zweite andere Nut schneiden. Natürlich kann der andere Nutensatz auch noch zusätzliche Nuten aufweisen, die sich mit den zuvor genannten Nuten in dem Kreuzungsbereich schneiden. Insbesondere kann eine Nut des Nutensatzes die erste andere Nut und die zweite andere Nut in dem Kreuzungsbereich schneiden.In the case of a special embodiment, the other groove set of the special press die can have a second different groove. The first other groove and the second other groove can intersect in an intersection area. The first other groove and the second other groove can intersect at an angle other than 90 °. The second other groove can cut the grooves of the groove set at an angle greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °. In particular, the first other groove can cut the at least two grooves at the same angle as the second other groove. Of course, the other set of grooves can also have additional grooves that intersect with the aforementioned grooves in the intersection area. In particular, a groove of the groove set can intersect the first other groove and the second other groove in the intersection area.

Bei einer ganz besonderen Ausführung kann der Pressstempel einen weiteren Nutensatz aufweisen, der wenigstens zwei weitere Nuten aufweist. Die weiteren Nuten können parallel zueinander verlaufen. Dabei kann jede der weiteren Nuten des weiteren Nutensatzes die Nuten des Nutensatzes jeweils in einem Winkel von 90° schneiden. Die erste andere Nut und/oder die zweite andere Nut des anderen Nutensatzes schneiden jede der weiteren Nuten in einem Winkel größer 0° und kleiner 90°. Darüber hinaus kann eine weitere Nut des weiteren Nutensatzes die erste andere Nut und die zweite andere Nut in dem Kreuzungsbereich schneiden.In the case of a very special version, the press ram can use another groove set have at least two further grooves. The other grooves can run parallel to each other. Each of the further grooves of the further groove set can each cut the grooves of the groove set at an angle of 90 °. The first other groove and / or the second other groove of the other groove set cut each of the further grooves at an angle greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °. In addition, a further groove of the further groove set can cut the first other groove and the second other groove in the intersection area.

Der Pressstempel kann in Eingriff mit einem Schneidteil oder einer Kombination von Schneidteilen mit einer Schneidklingenanordnung und in Eingriff mit einem anderen Schneidteil oder einer anderen Kombination von Schneidteilen mit einer anderen Schneidklingenanordnung gebracht werden, bei der sich wenigstens zwei, insbesondere genau drei, Schneidklingen in einem Kreuzungsbereich schneiden. Die Schneidklingen schneiden sich jeweils in einem Winkel kleiner als 90°.The press ram can be brought into engagement with a cutting part or a combination of cutting parts with one cutting blade arrangement and into engagement with another cutting part or another combination of cutting parts with another cutting blade arrangement, in which at least two, in particular exactly three, cutting blades are located in an intersection area to cut. The cutting blades each cut at an angle of less than 90 °.

Das Schneidteil oder eine Kombination von Schneidteilen kann eine Schneidklingenanordnung aufweisen, bei der die Schneidklingen parallel zueinander verlaufen. Diese Schneidklingenanordnung ermöglicht das Schneiden von Lebensmitteln in Scheiben. Dünnere Scheiben lassen sich realisieren, wenn zwei Schneidteile mit jeweils parallel verlaufenden Schneidklingen übereinander in der Aufnahme angeordnet werden, wobei die Schneidklingen in der Projektion zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind.The cutting part or a combination of cutting parts can have a cutting blade arrangement in which the cutting blades run parallel to one another. This cutting blade arrangement enables food to be cut into slices. Thinner disks can be realized if two cutting parts, each with parallel cutting blades, are arranged one above the other in the receptacle, the cutting blades being arranged offset to one another in the projection.

Alternativ kann ein Schneidteil oder eine Kombination von Schneidteilen eine Schneidklingenanordnung aufweisen, bei der die Schneidklingen ein gitterförmiges Muster bilden. Diese Schneidklingenanordnung ermöglicht das Schneiden von Lebensmitteln in Stifte oder Würfel. Das gitterförmige Schneidmuster lässt sich insbesondere dadurch realisieren, dass zwei Schneidteile mit jeweils parallel verlaufenden Schneidklingen aufeinander gesetzt sind, wobei eines der beiden Schneidteile um 90° zu dem anderen Schneidteil gedreht ist. Vorzugsweise verläuft die Richtung der Schneidklingen des oberen Schneidteils senkrecht zur Drehachse, um die das Betätigungsteil relativ zu dem Basisteil schwenkbar ist, weil hierdurch das Eintauchen des Pressstempels erleichtert wird und insbesondere ein Verklemmen des Pressstempels vermieden wird.Alternatively, a cutting part or a combination of cutting parts can have a cutting blade arrangement in which the cutting blades form a grid-like pattern. This cutting blade arrangement enables food to be cut into pens or cubes. The lattice-shaped cutting pattern can be realized in particular in that two cutting parts, each with parallel cutting blades, are placed one on top of the other, one of the two cutting parts being rotated through 90 ° to the other cutting part. The direction of the cutting blades of the upper cutting part is preferably perpendicular to the axis of rotation about which the actuating part can be pivoted relative to the base part, because this makes it easier for the plunger to plunge in and in particular prevents the plunger from jamming.

Der weitere Nutensatz des besonderen Pressstempels kann wenigstens eine erste weitere Nut, insbesondere mehrere erste weitere Nuten, und wenigstens eine zweite weitere Nut, insbesondere mehrere zweite weitere Nuten, aufweisen. Die zweite weitere Nut kann eine andere Nuttiefe aufweisen als die erste weitere Nut. Das Vorsehen von Nuten mit unterschiedlicher Nuttiefe bietet den Vorteil, dass der Pressstempel sowohl bei einzelnen Schneidteilen als auch bei aufeinander gesetzten Schneidteilen eingesetzt werden kann. Das Vorsehen von Nuten mit unterschiedlicher Nuttiefe bietet insbesondere den Vorteil, dass der Pressstempel durch die Nuten in seiner Struktur nur im erforderlichen Maße geschwächt wird und insoweit besonders stabil ist. Die anderen Nuten des anderen Nutensatzes können die gleiche Nuttiefe aufweisen und/oder die Nuten des Nutensatzes können die gleiche Nuttiefe aufweisen.The further set of grooves of the special press die can have at least one first further groove, in particular several first further grooves, and at least one second further groove, in particular several second further grooves. The second further groove can have a different groove depth than the first further groove. The provision of grooves with different groove depths offers the advantage that the press ram can be used both with individual cutting parts and with cutting parts placed one on top of the other. The Providing grooves with different groove depths has the particular advantage that the structure of the press punch is only weakened to the extent necessary by the grooves and is particularly stable in this respect. The other grooves of the other groove set can have the same groove depth and / or the grooves of the groove set can have the same groove depth.

Bei einer ganz besonderen Ausführung können sich die weiteren Nuten des weiteren Nutensatzes von einer ersten Pressstempelrandseite zu einer zweiten Pressstempelrandseite erstrecken. Darüber hinaus kann sich die erste andere Nut von einer dritten Pressstempelrandseite zu einer vierten Pressstempelrandseite erstrecken. Gleiches gilt für die zweite andere Nut. Die Nuten des Nutensatzes können sich von der dritten Pressstempelrandseite zu der vierten Pressstempelrandseite erstrecken.In a very special embodiment, the further grooves of the further groove set can extend from a first press die edge side to a second press die edge side. In addition, the first other groove can extend from a third press die edge side to a fourth press die edge side. The same applies to the second other groove. The grooves of the groove set can extend from the third press die edge side to the fourth press die edge side.

Die Nuten des Nutensatzes und/oder die anderen Nuten des anderen Nutensatzes und/oder die weiteren Nuten des weiteren Nutensatzes weisen einen linearen und/oder ununterbrochenen Verlauf auf. Darüber hinaus weisen die erste andere Nut und die zweite andere Nut eine konstante Steigung auf.The grooves of the groove set and / or the other grooves of the other groove set and / or the further grooves of the further groove set have a linear and / or uninterrupted course. In addition, the first other groove and the second other groove have a constant slope.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist wenigstens ein weiterer Pressstempel vorhanden, der im Austausch gegen den Pressstempel an dem Presshebel festlegbar ist. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit mehreren bestimmten in der Aufnahme übereinander angeordneten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden, während der weitere Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit mehreren anderen in der Aufnahme übereinander angeordneten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden. Es ist auch möglich, dass ein Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit mehreren bestimmten in der Aufnahme übereinander angeordneten Schneidteilen, die eine bestimmte Drehausrichtung zueinander aufweisen, verwendet zu werden, während der weitere Pressstempel dazu ausgebildet ist, mit denselben in der Aufnahme übereinander angeordneten Schneidteilen verwendet zu werden, wenn diese eine andere Drehausrichtung zueinander aufweisen.In a special embodiment, at least one further press stamp is present, which can be fixed on the press lever in exchange for the press stamp. In particular, it can be provided that a press ram is designed to be used with several specific cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle, while the further press ram is designed to be used with several other cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle. It is also possible that a press ram is designed to be used with a plurality of certain cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle, which have a certain rotational orientation with respect to one another, while the further press ram is designed to be used with the same cutting parts arranged one above the other in the receptacle to become, if they have a different rotational orientation to each other.

Ganz allgemein und nach einem eigenständigen Erfindungsgedanken ist eine Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln der eingangs genannten Art von besonderen Vorteil, bei der der Pressstempel an einem Presshebel des Betätigungsteils wieder lösbar anbringbar ist.Very generally and according to an independent inventive concept, a device for comminuting food of the type mentioned at the outset is particularly advantageous, in which the press ram can be releasably attached to a press lever of the actuating part.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführung ist das Basisteil auf einen Behälter für das zerkleinerte Gut aufsetzbar oder aufgesetzt.

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen schematisch und in der Draufsicht beispielhaft eine Aufnahme 1, einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln. Die Aufnahme 1 ist dazu ausgebildet, wenigstens zwei Schneidteile 2, 3 übereinander aufzunehmen, so dass zu zerkleinerndes Gut mittels einer Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungsteils gegen das Basisteil durch die übereinander in der Aufnahme 1 angeordneten Schneidteile 2, 3 hindurch drückbar ist, wobei die zwei Schneidteile 2. 3 mit unterschiedlichen Drehausrichtungen relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme 1 anordenbar sind.The Figures 1 to 3 show schematically and in plan view an example of a receptacle 1, an inventive device for chopping food. The receptacle 1 is designed to receive at least two cutting parts 2, 3 one above the other, so that material to be shredded can be pressed through a swiveling movement of the actuating part against the base part through the cutting parts 2, 3 arranged one above the other in the receptacle 1, the two cutting parts 2 3 can be arranged in the receptacle 1 with different rotational orientations relative to one another.

Ein erstes Schneidteil 2 der Schneidteile 2, 3 weist zueinander parallele erste Schneidklingen 4, die in einem ersten Rahmen 5 angeordnet und die fest mit dem Rahmen 5 verbunden sind. Ein zweites Schneidteil 3 der Schneidteile 2, 3 weist zueinander parallele zweite Schneidklingen 6 auf, die in einem zweiten Rahmen 7 angeordnet und die fest mit dem Rahmen 7 verbunden sind.A first cutting part 2 of the cutting parts 2, 3 has mutually parallel first cutting blades 4, which are arranged in a first frame 5 and which are firmly connected to the frame 5. A second cutting part 3 of the cutting parts 2, 3 has mutually parallel second cutting blades 6, which are arranged in a second frame 7 and which are firmly connected to the frame 7.

Beispielsweise ist es möglich, die beiden Schneidteile 2, 3 in einer ersten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme 1 anzuordnen, um Scheiben zu schneiden, was in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Alternativ ist es möglich die beiden Schneidteile 2, 3 in einer zweiten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme 1 anzuordnen, um im Querschnitt rautenförmige Stifte zu schneiden, was in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Außerdem ist es möglich, die beiden Schneidteile 2, 3 in einer dritten Drehausrichtung relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme 1 anzuordnen, um im Querschnitt quadratische oder rechteckige Stifte oder Würfel zu schneiden, was in Figur 3 dargestellt ist.For example, it is possible to arrange the two cutting parts 2, 3 in a first rotational orientation relative to one another in the receptacle 1 in order to cut disks, which is shown in FIG Figure 1 is shown. Alternatively, it is possible to arrange the two cutting parts 2, 3 in a second rotational orientation relative to one another in the receptacle 1 in order to cut diamond-shaped pins in cross section, which is shown in FIG Figure 2 is shown. In addition, it is possible to arrange the two cutting parts 2, 3 in a third rotational orientation relative to one another in the receptacle 1 in order to cut square or rectangular pins or cubes in cross section, which is shown in FIG Figure 3 is shown.

Insbesondere kann ein Pressstempel vorhanden sein, dessen Nutmuster derart ausgebildet ist, dass er für alle drei Drehausrichtungen verwendbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist ein Austauschen des Pressstempels unnötig. Allerdings können alternativ auch mehrere unterschiedliche Presstempel verwendet werden, wobei jeder Pressstempel einer der Drehausrichtungen zugeordnet ist.In particular, there can be a press ram, the groove pattern of which is designed such that it can be used for all three rotational orientations. In this way, it is not necessary to replace the stamp. However, several different press punches can alternatively be used, each press punch being assigned to one of the rotary orientations.

Figur 4 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmitteln, die als Handgerät ausgebildet ist, in der Einlegestellung. Die Vorrichtung kann insbesondere den in den Figuren 8 bis 11 dargestellten Pressstempel 9 aufweisen. Die Vorrichtung weist ein Betätigungsteil 8 auf, das einen Pressstempel 9 hat. Der Pressstempel 9 ist fest an einem Presshebel 10 des Betätigungsteils 8 angebracht. Darüber hinaus weist die Vorrichtung ein Basisteil 11 mit einer Aufnahme 1 auf. Das Betätigungsteil 8 ist gelenkig mit dem Basisteil 11 verbunden. Die Aufnahme 1 ist dazu ausgebildet, zwei Schneidteile 2, 3 übereinander aufzunehmen, so dass zu zerkleinerndes Gut mittels einer Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungsteils 8 gegen das Basisteil 11 durch die übereinander in der Aufnahme 1 angeordneten Schneidteile 2, 3 hindurch drückbar ist, wobei die zwei Schneidteile 2, 3 mit unterschiedlichen Drehausrichtungen relativ zueinander in der Aufnahme 1 anordenbar sind. Figure 4 shows an embodiment of a device for chopping food, which is designed as a hand-held device, in the inserted position. The device can in particular in the Figures 8 to 11 have shown stamp 9. The device has an actuating part 8 which has a press ram 9. The press ram 9 is fixedly attached to a press lever 10 of the actuating part 8. In addition, the device has a base part 11 with a receptacle 1. The actuating part 8 is articulated to the base part 11. The receptacle 1 is designed to receive two cutting parts 2, 3 one above the other, so that material to be comminuted by means of a pivoting movement of the actuating part 8 against the base part 11 can be pushed through the cutting parts 2, 3 arranged one above the other in the receptacle 1, the two cutting parts 2, 3 being able to be arranged in the receptacle 1 with different rotational orientations relative to one another.

Zum Zerkleinern eines Lebensmittelguts wird das Betätigungsteil 8 zum Basisteil 11 geschwenkt. Das durch die Schneidteile 2, 3 hindurch gedrückte Lebensmittelgut fällt automatisch in den Behälter 12. Der Pressstempel 9 kommt beim Hindurchdrücken des Lebensmittelguts durch die Schneidteile 2, 3 in Eingriff mit den Schneidteilen 2, 3. Insbesondere dringen die Schneidklingen 4, 6 der Schneidteile 2, 3 in entsprechende zugeordnete Nuten und/oder andere Nuten und/oder weitere Nuten des Pressstempels 9 ein. Eine andere Schneidform des Lebensmittelguts lässt sich dadurch realisieren, dass die Drehausrichtung der Schneidteile 2, 3 zueinander geändert wird, was in Figur 5 dargestellt ist.To shred a food item, the actuating part 8 is pivoted to the base part 11. The food product pressed through the cutting parts 2, 3 automatically falls into the container 12. The press ram 9 comes into engagement with the cutting parts 2, 3 when the food product is pushed through the cutting parts 2, 3. In particular, the cutting blades 4, 6 of the cutting parts 2 penetrate , 3 into corresponding assigned grooves and / or other grooves and / or further grooves of the press ram 9. Another cutting shape of the food product can be realized by changing the rotational orientation of the cutting parts 2, 3 with respect to one another, which is shown in Figure 5 is shown.

Es ist auch möglich, lediglich eines der Schneidteile 2, 3 und einen Leerrahmen 13 in die Aufnahme 1 einzufügen, beispielsweise um breitere Scheiben zu schneiden. Dies ist in Figur 6 dargestellt.It is also possible to insert only one of the cutting parts 2, 3 and an empty frame 13 into the receptacle 1, for example in order to cut wider panes. This is in Figure 6 shown.

Es ist auch möglich, anstelle der Schneidteile 2, 3 ein anderes Schneidteil 14 mit einer anderen Schneidklingenanordnung in die Aufnahme 1 einzufügen, beispielsweise um Keile zu schneiden. Dies ist in Figur 7 dargestellt. Die andere Schneidklingenanordnung ist durch drei Schneidklingen 26 gebildet, die sich in einem Kreuzungsbereich 27 schneiden.It is also possible to insert a different cutting part 14 with a different cutting blade arrangement into the receptacle 1 instead of the cutting parts 2, 3, for example in order to cut wedges. This is in Figure 7 shown. The other cutting blade arrangement is formed by three cutting blades 26 which intersect in an intersection area 27.

Bei dieser Vorrichtung ein Pressstempel 9 vorhanden, dessen Nutmuster derart ausgebildet ist, dass er für alle drei Drehausrichtungen verwendbar ist.In this device there is a press ram 9, the groove pattern of which is designed such that it can be used for all three rotational orientations.

Der in den Figuren 8 bis 11 dargestellte Presstempel 9 für eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist einen Nutensatz mit mehreren, insbesondere genau vier, Nuten 15 auf. Die vier Nuten 15 verlaufen parallel zueinander. Darüber hinaus weist der Pressstempel einen anderen Nutensatz mit einer ersten anderen Nut 16 auf, wobei die erste andere Nut 16 jede der Nuten 1 jeweils in einem Winkel al schneidet. Der Winkel al ist größer als 0° und kleiner als 90°.The one in the Figures 8 to 11 The stamp 9 shown for a device according to the invention has a groove set with several, in particular exactly four, grooves 15. The four grooves 15 run parallel to one another. In addition, the press ram has a different groove set with a first other groove 16, the first other groove 16 intersecting each of the grooves 1 at an angle al. The angle al is greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °.

Darüber hinaus weist der andere Nutensatz eine zweite andere Nut 17 auf, die jede der ersten Nuten 15 in einem Winkel α2 schneidet. Der Winkel α2 ist größer als 0° und kleiner als 90°. In der gezeigten Ausführung schneidet die erste andere Nut 16 die Nuten 15 in dem gleichen Winkel wie die zweite andere Nut 17.In addition, the other set of grooves has a second different groove 17 which intersects each of the first grooves 15 at an angle α2. The angle α2 is greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °. In the embodiment shown, the first other groove 16 cuts the grooves 15 at the same angle as the second other groove 17.

Die erste andere Nut 16 und die zweite andere Nut 17 schneiden sich in einem Kreuzungsbereich 18. Dabei ist ein Winkel β zwischen der ersten anderen Nut 16 und der zweiten anderen Nut 17 größer als 0° und kleiner als 90°. Die Nuten 15 des Nutensatzes und die anderen Nuten 16, 17 des anderen Nutensatzes haben einen linearen und kontinuierlichen Verlauf.The first other groove 16 and the second other groove 17 intersect in an intersection region 18. There is an angle β between the first other groove 16 and the second other groove 17 greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °. The grooves 15 of the groove set and the other grooves 16, 17 of the other groove set have a linear and continuous course.

Darüber hinaus weist der Pressstempel 9 einen weiteren Nutensatz auf, der mehrere weitere Nuten, insbesondere neun weitere Nuten, aufweist. Die weiteren Nuten verlaufen parallel zueinander und/oder haben einen linearen und kontinuierlichen Verlauf. Dabei weist, wie aus Figur 8 ersichtlich ist, der weitere Nutensatz fünf erste weitere Nuten 19 und vier zweite weitere Nuten 20 auf. Die ersten weiteren Nuten 19 unterscheiden sich von den zweiten weiteren Nuten 20 darin, dass sie eine größere Nuttiefe aufweisen. Darüber hinaus schneiden die ersten weiteren Nuten 19 und die zweiten weiteren Nuten 20 die Nuten 15 des Nutensatzes in einem Winkel von 90°. Zusätzlich schneidet eine erste weitere Nut 19, wie aus Figur 9 ersichtlich ist, die erste andere Nut 16 und die zweite andere Nut 17 in dem Kreuzungsbereich 18.In addition, the press ram 9 has a further set of grooves which has a plurality of further grooves, in particular nine further grooves. The other grooves run parallel to one another and / or have a linear and continuous course. It shows how Figure 8 it can be seen that the further groove set has five first further grooves 19 and four second further grooves 20. The first further grooves 19 differ from the second further grooves 20 in that they have a greater groove depth. In addition, the first further grooves 19 and the second further grooves 20 cut the grooves 15 of the groove set at an angle of 90 °. In addition, a first further groove 19 cuts out Figure 9 it can be seen, the first other groove 16 and the second other groove 17 in the crossing region 18.

Die Nuten 15 des Nutensatzes sind im Pressstempel 9 derart angeordnet, dass sich die weiteren Nuten 19, 20 des weiteren Nutensatzes von einer ersten Pressstempelrandseite 21 zu einer zweiten Pressstempelrandseite 22 erstrecken. Die Nuten 15 erstrecken sich von einer dritten Pressstempelrandseite 23 zu einer vierten Pressstempelrandseite 24. Die erste andere Nut 16 und die zweite andere Nut 17 erstrecken sich ebenfalls von der dritten Pressstempelrandseite 23 zu der vierten Pressstempelrandseite 24.The grooves 15 of the groove set are arranged in the press die 9 such that the further grooves 19, 20 of the further groove set extend from a first press die edge side 21 to a second press die edge side 22. The grooves 15 extend from a third press die edge side 23 to a fourth press die edge side 24. The first other groove 16 and the second other groove 17 likewise extend from the third press die edge side 23 to the fourth press die edge side 24.

Dabei liegen sich die erste Pressstempelrandseite 21 und die zweite Pressstempelrandseite 22 bezüglich einer Ebene, die eine der Nuten 15 aufweist, gegenüber. Die dritte Pressstempelrandseite 23 und die vierte Pressstempelrandseite 24 liegen sich bezüglich einer anderen Ebene, die eine der ersten weiteren Nuten 19 oder eine der zweiten weiteren Nuten 20 aufweist, gegenüber.Here, the first press stamp edge side 21 and the second press stamp edge side 22 lie opposite one another with respect to a plane which has one of the grooves 15. The third press stamp edge side 23 and the fourth press stamp edge side 24 lie opposite one another with respect to another plane, which has one of the first further grooves 19 or one of the second further grooves 20.

Figur 11 zeigt eine Vorderansicht auf die vierte Pressstempelrandseite 24. Aus Figur 11 ist ersichtlich, dass die Nuten 15 des Nutensatzes alle die gleiche Nuttiefe aufweisen. In Figur 10 ist eine Seitenansicht des Pressstempels, insbesondere eine Ansicht auf die erste Pressstempelrandseite 21, gezeigt. Wie zuvor bereits beschrieben ist, weisen die ersten weiteren Nuten 19 eine größere Nuttiefe auf als die zweiten weiteren Nuten 20. Darüber hinaus ist aus der Figur 10 zu entnehmen, dass entlang der Richtung 25 von der dritten Pressstempelrandseite 23 zu der vierten Pressstempelrandseite 24 die ersten weiteren Nuten 19 und die zweiten weiteren Nuten 20 alternierend angeordnet sind. Dabei weisen die zweiten weiteren Nuten 20 die gleiche Nuttiefe auf, wie die Nuten 15. Figure 11 shows a front view of the fourth stamp side edge 24. From Figure 11 it can be seen that the grooves 15 of the groove set all have the same groove depth. In Figure 10 a side view of the press die, in particular a view of the first press die edge side 21, is shown. As already described above, the first further grooves 19 have a greater groove depth than the second further grooves 20 Figure 10 It can be seen that the first further grooves 19 and the second further grooves 20 are arranged alternately along the direction 25 from the third press die edge side 23 to the fourth press die edge side 24. The second further grooves 20 have the same groove depth as the grooves 15.
