Abstract
The invention relates to an interface between a knife and a knife holder, wherein the knife and the knife holder are designed such that the knife can be mounted on the knife holder in such a way that the knife is initially positioned on the knife holder in the axial direction, and then by rotating either the knife relative to the knife holder and/or the knife holder relative to the knife, the knife is locked on the knife holder with respect to the axial direction, wherein the knife has a single central fastening opening which is delimited by a knife edge region, and the knife holder has a fastening section for the fastening opening of the knife, which is delimited by a holder edge region.
Claims45
A blade mount for a high-speed slicer, the blade mount being configured such that a blade can be attached thereto by first moving the blade in an axial direction parallel to a rotational axis of the blade mount to place the blade on the blade mount, and then securing the blade in the axial direction at the blade mount by rotating the blade about the rotational axis relative to the blade mount and/or by rotating the blade mount about the rotational axis relative to the blade, the blade mount comprising:
- a first part including a ring and a plurality of mount projections spaced apart around a periphery of the ring and projecting radially outwardly from the periphery of the ring, the ring and the plurality of mount projections being formed as a single component, wherein the plurality of mount projections are configured to secure the blade in the axial direction at the blade mount when the blade is placed on the blade mount and at least one of:
- the blade is rotated about the rotational axis relative to the blade mount;
- and
- the blade mount is rotated about the rotational axis relative to the blade;
- a second part;
- and
- a clamping device, wherein:
- the clamping device can be adjusted between a release state and a clamping state;
- and
- the clamping device clamps the blade between the first part and the second part such that the first and second parts contact opposite faces of the blade when the clamping device is in the clamping state and the blade is disposed between the first and second parts.
A blade mount for mounting a blade in a high-speed slicer, the blade mount comprising:
- a retainer configured to retain the blade in the blade mount, the retainer including a ring and a plurality of mount projections spaced apart around a periphery of the ring and projecting radially outwardly from the periphery of the ring;
- and
- a carrier configured to support the blade, the carrier including a base, at least one pin configured to project axially from the base and into a pocket in the blade to prevent the blade from rotating relative to the blade mount, and a spring preloading the at least one pin to cause the at least one pin to move axially into the pocket in the blade when the pocket is aligned with the at least one pin.
