The invention relates to a household slicing machine, in particular for slicing bread which the circular knife to enable cleaning of the cutting unit without assistance a tool can be removed.

Bread slicers, only cut pastries with soft according to their intended purpose will need to be cleaned very seldom, if at all, mostly only when if bread that is too fresh or insufficiently baked has been cut, as leftovers are left on Knives stick. In the course of the mechanization of the household, however, is increasingly the use of the household slicer also for cutting meat and smoked products, cheese, Sliced fruit, vegetables and other foods are touted. With this type of use of the machine the cutting unit and its storage must be cleaned more frequently, as mainly fatty ones Food leaves traces on the circular knife, which both the taste and the smell afterwards unpleasant effects on food cut on the machine. In the known household cutting machines the circular knife sits on a stub shaft and is held in place with a screw, which is screwed into an axial threaded hole of the stub shaft and with its head the Circular knife presses against an abutment of the stand. Apart from the fact that in the event of an unintentional Loosening the screw, the knife wobbles on the shaft and cuts uneven disks, the housewife must first remove the screw in case she wants to remove the circular knife and clean it solve what she needs a screwdriver or at least a coin to do. But since she is in the kitchen If these two tools are not always at hand, she uses the screw to loosen the nearest knife with a round tip, but the end of the knife is often broken or bent will.

To address this deficiency, it has already been proposed to use the circular knife with a to provide a bearing pin having an annular groove, which with the interposition of a spring washer in a bearing bush of a shield-shaped housing covering the knife is rotatably mounted. Of the The spring ring sits in an annular groove in the bearing bush and is, after the bearing journal has been inserted into the bearing bush for the purpose of holding the knife by means of an externally actuated double-armed toggle and one with this cooperating arm partially inserted into the annular groove of the bearing pin-household slicer

presses. Although this solution has certain advantages in terms of holding the circular knife in the brought shield-shaped housing compared to the earlier connections made by screws, the proposed construction has not proven itself, as the movable spring washer for the purpose its easy adjustment in the groove of the bearing pin requires a certain amount of play, which means the seat of the knife is impaired in the axial direction, so that no evenly thin slices are cut can be.

To eliminate all the disadvantages mentioned, a household slicer with a circular knife, of which the journal mounted in the bearing bushing of a stator has a detent into which a resilient member which prevents the axial displacement of the bearing journal and which is pivoted out engages releases the bearing pin and enables the circular knife to be pulled off, proposed whereby according to the invention the bearing bush of the stator consists of several mutually adjustable parts, at least one of which is designed as a half bearing shell and is rigidly connected to the stand is and has a counter-catch that cooperates with the catch of the bearing pin, while the other Part approximately perpendicular to the parting plane of the fixed bearing part adjustable and in the assembled Location of the same is recorded.

In the drawing, an embodiment of the household cutting machine according to the invention is shown. It shows

F i g. 2 shows a section along the line II-II of FIG. 1. The household slicer has an expediently made of wood base plate on which a stand 2 designed as a shield to cover the cutting unit and used to store the same is attached, on the back of which a horizontal stand protruding bearing bush 3 for receiving a journal 5 for a circular knife 4 is provided. The bearing bush 3 consists of a fixed bearing shell half 3 'firmly connected to the stand and two bearing eyes 3 "flanking it, which are pivotable essentially perpendicular to the plane of division of the shell half 3' and form part of a pivot lever 6, which at its one end 7 on Stand is articulated, is under the influence of a spring 8 pressing the lever 6 against the fixed bearing part 3 'and with its other end protrudes forming a handle 11 from the stand 2. The bearing pin 5 is provided with an annular groove 9 for receiving one of the Inside of the fixed bearing bush part 3 'provided protrusion 10. The circular knife 4 has on its inside a concentric gear 12 which meshes with a pinion 13 mounted in the stator, which in turn is driven by a crank 14. To close the circular knife 4 from the stator 2 solve, the handle and with it the lever 6 is pivoted in the direction of arrow A, whereby the bearing eyes3 "the lag Bring the pin out of the area of the projection 10, after which the bearing pin 5 can be guided out of the eyes 3 ″ and the circular knife 4 is released. The circular knife is inserted in the same way. Of course, various design modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. For example, it is possible to choose the parting plane of the bearing bushing to be inclined or horizontal with respect to the horizontal, whereby the means for adjusting and holding the movable bearing part 3 ″ can also be designed as desired. 1. Household slicer with a circular knife, of which the journal mounted in the bearing bushing of a stand has a detent into which a resilient member which prevents the axial displacement of the journal engages, which releases the journal by pivoting out and enables the circular knife to be pulled off, characterized in that that the bearing bush of the stator consists of several mutually adjustable parts, of which at least one is designed as a half bearing shell, is rigidly connected to the stator and has a counter-catch that interacts with the catch of the bearing pin, while the other part is approximately perpendicular to the plane of division of the fixed bearing part adjustable and held in the assembled position of the same. 2. Machine according to claim 1, characterized in that the adjustable bearing bush part (3 ") is connected to an externally operable pivot lever (6) which is under the influence of a spring (8) pressing it against the bearing pin (5). 3. Machine according to claim 1, characterized in that the movable part of the bearing bush (3) consists of two bearing eyes (3 ") flanking the bearing shell halves (3 '). 1 sheet of drawings 709 608/17 6.67 Q Bundesdruckerei Berlin
