FOOD SLICER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/136742
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a food slicer comprising a slideway (1) and a cut-material holder (2) which is intended for food to be cut and is movable back and forth along the slideway (1), wherein the slideway (1) has a cutting blade which by means of a constraining guide is movable in relation to the slideway (1) in such a way that, in at least one direction of advancement (V), the portion of the slideway (1) that is arranged ahead of the cutting blade (3) is formed as a feeding ramp (4) that is arranged lower than the cutting edge of the cutting blade (3). The known food slicers are intended to be improved in terms of safety from injury, allow themselves to be produced at lower cost and able to cut bidirectionally. The invention achieves this by providing two opposing feeding ramps (4), which have a cutting blade (3) at the ends adjacent to the neighbouring feeding ramp (4) and are pivotably mounted about a pivot axis (S) at the end opposite from the cutting blade (3), wherein the constraining guide is formed in such a way that, when the cut-material holder (2) is being moved, at least one of the feeding ramps (4) is forcibly pivoted out of a rest position, in which the cutting blades (3) of the feeding ramps (4) lie in one plane.
