Abstract

A quick-change system for blades of a meat trimmer, which is used as a cutting tool in the stripping or cutting of meat and the like, includes a handle with a connecting housing to which a ring-like blade holder is attached. A ring-like blade is held inside the blade holder and rotated by a driving gear. The connecting housing has arm-like projections on both sides, on which the blade holder is mounted and has a separation point between the projections. The ring-like blade holder is fixed to a projection in an operating position by the head of a releasable bolt. When the bolt is loosened, the blade holder is bent open from an operating position to a blade change position in which the ring-like blade can be changed without tools in a very short time, without the necessity of readjusting the blade holder after its return to the operating position.
