Abstract

A blade removal device removes a blade of a slicer. The removal device has: a base positioned with a contact side on one side of the blade; fasteners supported in the base, rotatable from an attachment position for attaching the blade removal device to the blade into a holding position for holding the blade; and a rotary handle supported on the base and rotatable relative to the base from a closed position into an open position to release an interlock between the blade and the drive. The interlock opens when the rotary handle is in the open position and is closed when the rotary handle is in the closed position. The fasteners in the attachment position engage in cutouts of the rotary handle in the closed position. The cutouts and the fasteners are out of engagement when the rotary handle is in the open position.

Dependent claims

A blade removal device for removing a circular blade of a slicer for slicing off slices from a length of material to be sliced, the blade removal device comprising:

a base, which is configured to be positioned with a contact side on one side of the circular blade;
fasteners rotatably supported in the base, each being configured to be rotated about an axis of rotation of the respective one of the fasteners relative to the base from an attachment position for attaching the blade removal device to the circular blade into a holding position for holding the circular blade to the blade removal device;
and
a rotary handle rotatably supported on the base and configured to be rotated relative to the base from a closed position into an open position to release an interlock between the circular blade and the drive of the circular blade, the interlock being configured to be open when the rotary handle is in the open position and closed when the rotary handle is in the closed position, the fasteners in the attachment position being adapted to engage in cutouts of the rotary handle in the closed position, and the cutouts and the fasteners being out of engagement when the rotary handle is in the open position.

A slicing system, the slicing system comprising:

a slicer configured to slice off slices from a length of material to be sliced, the slicer comprising a drive configured to hold and drive a circular blade, the drive and the circular blade being connected together by an interlock;
a blade removal device for removing the circular blade, the blade removal device comprising:
a base which is configured to be positioned with a contact side on one side of the circular blade;
fasteners rotatably supported in the base, each being configured to be rotated about an axis of rotation of the respective one of the fasteners relative to the base from an attachment position for attaching the blade removal device to the circular blade into a holding position for holding the blade removal device to the circular blade;
and
a rotary handle rotatably supported on the base and configured to be rotated relative to the base from a closed position into an open position to release the interlock between the circular blade and the drive of the circular blade, the interlock being configured to be open when the rotary handle is in the open position and closed when the rotary handle is in the closed position,
wherein the fasteners in the attachment position are adapted to engage in cutouts of the rotary handle in the closed position, and
wherein the cutouts of the rotary handle and fasteners are out of the engagement when the rotary handle is in the open position.
