Abstract:
A device for uncapping wax cappings ( 13 ) that cover honeycombs ( 14 ). Before extracting, the sealed honeycombs ( 14 ) have to be uncapped in order to be able to spin the honey out of the honeycombs ( 14 ). The cutting system of this device allows, besides full-sized honeycombs ( 14 ), also a precise uncapping of undersized honeycombs ( 14 ) or shallow and deformed honeycomb structures, which cannot be uncapped using traditional cutting systems. The device includes rotatably mounted perforating elements ( 11, 12 ), and supporting elements ( 5, 6 ), on which the perforating elements ( 11, 12 ) are mounted. Secondly, the supporting elements are pivoted on a base for turning movement. Thirdly, the device has supporting elements equipped with a spring for pressing them against the honeycomb ( 14 ) with such a force that enables the piercing elements to go through the wax cappings ( 13 ) and into the honeycombs without damaging the other structures of honeycomb frame ( 2 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A device for uncapping wax-sealed honeycombs of a honeycomb frame before extracting the honeycomb frame, the device comprising:\n a mechanism for feeding the honeycomb frame into the device; perforating elements that are pressed against both sides of the honeycomb frame and that are individually and rotatably mounted, on separate sets of blades, at least one said set of blades per side of the honeycomb frame, said sets of blades comprising rotating blades so that each set of blades is individually pivoted and pressed against the wax capping; and supporting elements, on which the rotating perforating elements are mounted.
