ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device in a machine for trimming vegetables, especially Brussels sprouts, by means of a rotary cutter forming the bottom of a trapezoidal groove (3), which is formed by the inclined sides (2) of a pair of rotary flanges, the vegetables being caused by the action of the rotary flanges and stationary holding means (5-12) to perform a rotary movement around themselves at the same time as they follow the rotary flanges in the groove (3) between them, and projecting parts of the vegetables are exposed to the cutter and trimmed off. According to the invention the holding means consists of a number of substantially planar plates (5-12), which are arranged resiliently and elastically pivotable around axes (13-20), which are substantially parallel to the rotary shaft of the cutter and of the flanges, which overlap each other like roof tiles substantially along the groove (3) between the flanges with the free ends of the plates pointing in the direction of rotation, and which form a ceiling of the groove along a part thereof (FIG. 1).
