Patent number: 11123892Abstract: A method produces a frame for a transport device for receiving slices of material separated by a cutting blade of a cutting machine. The method includes: providing a single integral workpiece, the single integral workpiece having a base plate region, a first longitudinal side region on a first side of the base plate region, and a second longitudinal side region on a second side of the base plate region, bending the first longitudinal side region along a first longitudinal side bending edge until the first longitudinal side region is perpendicular to the base plate region, and bending the second longitudinal side region along a second longitudinal side bending edge until the second longitudinal side region is perpendicular to the base plate region. The first longitudinal side region and second longitudinal side region each extend away from the base plate region in a first direction, and are parallel to each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: BIZERBA SE & CO. KGInventors: Hannes Richter, Nikolaus Koch, Timo Capone

Patent number: 10773411Abstract: A slicing machine may include a carriage that can be swiveled out with a supporting plate for supporting product to be sliced, wherein a locking device locks the supporting plate releasably in the slicing position. In order to make simple operation of the slicing machine possible accompanied by a high level of operating safety, the locking device has an electrically or electromagnetically operable actuator for releasing the carriage pivot bearing.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: BIZERBA SE & CO. KGInventors: Manfred Dinger, Timo Capone

Patent number: 9987762Abstract: A slicing machine for preferably elongated food may include a blade driven by a motor and a deposit table arranged in a deposit area with a deposit plate, which can be moved, motor-driven, linearly in a horizontal direction via a belt drive. In order to manufacture the slicing machine as compactly as possible with a small overall height, it is proposed that the belt drive has at least two deflection rollers and a driving roller, which guide the drive belt in endless rotation in a horizontal plane, and that the driving roller is arranged in a perpendicular projection between the first deflection roller and the second deflection roller.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Bizerba SE & Co.
