Abstract
An adjusting device (74) is fixedly and rotatably mounted in axial longitudinal direction on a shaft coupling (22) while being at the same time connected with a disk (24) via an adjustment means (92, 94). Both the shaft coupling (22) and the disk (24) are each in engagement with a shredding or slicing tool (28, 80, 82, 84) via an elongated toothed member (42, 44 and 50, 52) cooperating therewith. The shredding or slicing tool (28, 80, 82, 84) bears against the drive shaft (18) in axial direction and is held in a fixed position relative to the drive shaft (18).
Claims11
A cutting tool arrangement for cutting food material, in particular for domestic appliances, which arrangement is adapted to be fitted in a non-rotatable relationship to a drive shaft extending through the bottom of a bowl comprising
- a shaft coupling, a disk adapted to divide the bowl into an upper and a lower bowl section, said disc having an opening, a cutting tool provided in said opening of said disk, and an adjusting device for adjustment of the position of said disk relative to said cutting tool,
- said adjusting device being rotatably mounted and fixed in axial longitudinal direction on said shaft coupling while at the same time being connected with said disk via coupling structure that includes elongated toothed structure such that said shaft coupling is in driving relation with said disk and said cutting tool via said elongated toothed structure, and that said cutting tool bears against the drive shaft in axial direction and is held in a fixed position relative to said drive shaft while said adjusting device adjusts the position of said disk relative to said cutting tool.
