Help needed, Teck 1 History

[Brown Thumb]

My future daughter in law is doing a college assignment.
She could not find a machine that is all mechanical that has at least 4 working parts.
I gave her the teck 1 to use.
She has to tear it down and document everything but needs the history of the machine.
She did it all and now can’t find any history on it. I searched high and low also.
She works for Buller as a machinist, Very awesome hard working girl,
????
I told my boy the blades were really sharp, I wasn’t worried about her since she knows better.
Go figure,

I'm not aware of any source for Tech-1 History.

Here's a fun misunderstanding:

Lokshen-making Machine - The Jewish Museum London

jewishmuseum.org.uk

Or...maybe the Teck 1 was actually a noodle machine!

Here's a different brand of German noodle cutter:

antiker Spätzleschneider Nudelschneider Tabakschneider Gusseisen um 1880 | eBay

Seltener antiker Nudelschneider / Tabakschneider. Spätzleschneider / Gusseisen / Gründerzeit / um 1880. Nudellänge: 5,7 cm /Gewicht: 5,23 kg. sehr guter gebrauchter Zustand / einwandfreie.

This one seems to include the possibility of cutting tobacco. [tabakschneider] around 1880

This has been interesting. These contraptions were apparently designed to slice whatever you needed to slice: noodles, pasta, tobacco. Anything that could be moved along by the grooved, advancing cylinder. The older version seems to have no mechanism to adjust the ratio of handle turns to the advancing (i.e. set the thickness of the shred), whereas the Teck 1 shred thickness is adjustable.

I don't know about the Teck 1, but in 1880, most of the screw threads and nuts were not standardized, and were machined individually as a pair.

The History of the Bolt

When were the first bolts made and what were they used for? Nord-Lock Group traces the history of the bolt, from ancient Egypt through to modern day bolts & screws.

If anyone has two extra blades, I would be happy to purchase them.

Wow, Bob! Thanks for all that.

Thanks All, I told my son to tell her she will have to go back to the drawing board, if Bob don’t know it don’t exist.
Thanks, Bob

It sure felt like I was providing some history. The Teck 1 is apparently a derivative of an earlier (quite similar) device. And they both may or may not have been initially intended to be used as noodle cutters.

In years past, other forum members have pointed out that the screw and nuts on their Teck 1 machines were not standard.

You did, she needs patents etc.
Is it a noodle cutter?
This has been quite informative and I Thank You.

DPMA | 1877-1890

1877 to 1890: The patent office comes into being - Cooperation between technically and legally qualified members - The office grows and expands

I would guess that there was no patent on the earlier cutter, which might indicate that there was no need for a patent on the Teck 1. Of course, I would imagine that two World Wars might have compromised some of their records.

Good info Bob.
