B26D 7/06 - Arrangements for feeding or delivering work of other than sheet, web, or filamentary form
The invention relates to a cutting machine (1) with a machine housing (11) which supports a drive motor for driving a rotating cutting blade (13). The cutting blade separates individual slices from preferably strip-shaped food, said slices being stored in a storage region (12) of the cutting machine. The storage region is equipped with a scale device (2) which ascertains the weight of the separated slices. The aim of the invention is to provide a universal area of use of the cutting machine with a compact design. This is achieved in that the cutting machine (1) has a modular design, wherein the scale device (2) is designed as a separate component which can optionally be mechanically connected to the machine housing (11) in a rigid manner or removed from the machine housing.
The invention relates to a printer (11) for printing on printing media in the form of label and/or receipt rolls (23, 43), comprising a print head (27) and a top cover (17), which can be folded between a closed position and an open position and which provides access to an accommodating chamber (15) for a label or receipt roll in the open position. The printer (11) also comprises a drive roller (29) that can be driven by a drive of the printer for transporting the particular printing medium and a front cover (21), which can be folded between a closed position and an open position and which provides access to an additional accommodating chamber (19) for a receipt roll (29) in the open position, wherein the drive roller is provided on the front cover (21).

A printing unit for a weighing device, which has a housing and a load plate, includes an interior configured to hold a print medium. A front panel has a printer opening communicating with the interior for passage of the print medium therethrough. A top cover is disposed above the front panel and extends in an opening direction from the housing of the weighing device, past an edge of the load plate of the weighing device and to the front panel. A side edge cover is disposed at each side of the top cover. The top cover, front panel and side edge covers are shaped so as to direct a liquid from the load plate toward at least one of a bottom region and a drain of the printing unit without entering into the interior.

The invention relates to a slicing machine (1) for cutting food slices by means of a carriage (2) that can be moved back and forth and a rotating cutting blade (11), wherein the slice thickness can be adjusted by means of a stop plate (12). For cleaning purposes, the carriage (2) can be emptied by tipping the carriage. In order to reduce the risk of injury during cleaning work, a blocking device is provided, which allows the carriage to be emptied by tipping the carriage only in a certain position and while the stop plate is blocked. Said safety feature is provided by means of a blocking slide (41), on which two mechanical safety precaution elements act independently.
