Device for cutting out flat pieces from flexible material, particularly a machine for cutting out slices of bacon and removing rind

摘要

The material to be cut out is displaced towards the means of cutting 8 by a conveyor 46 with belts and/or chains whose motive roller is a drive roller 12 with axial sections which are provided with teeth and are separated by grooves receiving the belts and/or chains 52. The conveyor 46 is mounted on an articulated plate 13 pivoting on the frame 3 about a pivot 16 mounted between the front return roller 51 of the conveyor and the drive roller 12. The plate 13 is tilted by a jack 18. A protective screen 54, supported by a tilting hood 55, is disposed above the conveyor 46. When the user leaves his hand on the material to be cut out and displaced by the conveyor 46, the screen 54 and the hood 55 are tilted and a switch 57 carried by an arm 56 integral with the hood 55 activates an emergency stop mechanism 58. Application in particular to machines for cutting out slices of bacon. <IMAGE>
