Sharpening device for cold cuts cutting machines

Abstract

It is placed in a stationary manner in the top part of the machine and has a sharpening wheel (18) as well as a polishing device of the blade that eliminates the rough edges produced in sharpening. It has a frame (1) that incorporates a cover (3) that is subject to being collapsed in order to allow the unit to be cleaned. In the bottom the cover (3) incorporates a support fastened by means of a body (9) which is passed through by a central hole through which a shaft (12) passes whose top end incorporates a control (13) and in the bottom thereof the sharpening wheel (18) the shaft (12) being aided by a spring (14) whereby upon turning the control (13) the movement of the sharpening wheel (18) is produced until it makes contact with the cutting blade (2.) Upon releasing the control (13) the sharpening wheel returns to its original position, the cutting blade (2) remaining protected in the entire process. In order to turn the control (13) it is necessary to push the same which releases two retaining notches which prevent it from turning in the inoperative state. The blade polishing device consists of a strip solid to the end of a shaft (23) which remains mounted in a recess provided in the support (8); the other end of the shaft (23) incorporates a latch which makes movement of the shaft (23) possible against a spring (26) the polishing strip (25) positioning itself in the edge of the cutting blade (2.)
