DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention is related to a device for handling, like massage or mix meat portions, provided with a handling container having a closing lid, for receiving a meat portion and stirring means for operation in said container.
The object of the invention is a device of the above indicated type having a simple structure in combination with an effective working with respect to the massage or mix of desired quantities and different kinds of meat.
The invention is distinguished according to the invention by means for adjusting the angularity of the rotating shaft of the stirring means and the vertical.
Owing to the adjustment of the inclination of the rotary axis of the stirring means the quantity of meat moved by the stirring means per rotation, is determined, and therefore the rate of massage is adjustable.
Preferably the adjustment means are controlled with respect to the counter pressure upon the stirring means, such that for the desired massage the stirring means are adjusted automatically in the correct inclination.
To preventing jamming of meat behind the stirring means during discharge of the container the shaft of the stirring means is beared in the closing lid, so when opening the container the stirring means are retracted out of the meat masses, whereas the container may be emptied easily.
To obtain a simple structure for bearing the shaft of the stirring means in said closing lid, in connection with the possibility to vacuum said container, said shaft in combination with said closing lid is beared rockably in a frame. In the preferred embodiment the container is provided with wheels, whilst it is disengageable attached to said lid, whereby the container is adapted to handle and to stock said meat portions as well.
For a maximum stirring action said container is preferably cylindrical, whilst the shaft of the stirring means is coaxially beared in the lid.
The invention is further related to a device of the above described type in which the stirring means are provided with at least one conduit for a cooling fluid. A stirring means as such has the advantage that the temperature of the meat quantity to be handled can be retained at a desired level during or previous to said handling, giving a maximum business conduct. So it is not necessary to bring the container in a freezer after having handled the meat, which is diminishing the costs for such a freezer with respect to the saved space.
Further the stirring means are formed substantially like a section fixed to the rotary shaft, and a section pivotably connected to said fixed section.
The pivotable section will follow precisely the inner wall of the container so preventing a jamming of the meat masses in between the stirring means and said inner wall of the container, and so preventing damage to the meat .
Other features of the invention will be described in the detailed description hereunder
In the drawing is:
FIG. 1 an elevated view of the device according to the invention,
FIGS. 2a,b,c,d, a perspective view of the device in different positions,
FIG. 3 a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the stirring means.
The device disclosed in the drawing is substantially comprising a frame 1, built from sections, supporting a rocking mechanism 2, and a hydraulic cylinder 3 pivotably mounted unto said rocking mechanism 2 and said frame 1.
A closing lid 4 of a container 5 is mounted on said rocking mechanism 2, in said lid the shaft 6 of the stirring means 7 is beared.
The stirring means 7 is attached to said shaft 6 by fastening means not disclosed, for instance bolts.
At the upper side of the lid 4 a drive 8 of the shaft 6 is mounted which drive 8 consists of a electromotor including transmission received in a enclosure 9. The bushing of the shaft 6 in said lid 4 is as such that an airtight bearing is assured.
The container 5 is provided with wheels 10, at least one of which is formed like a castor so that the container is adapted to be located easily by hand between the protruding beams of the frame 1.
The connection between the rim of the lid 4 an
