Food slicing disc with adjustable vertical and horizontal blades

A rotatable slicing disc assembly for use with an electrically powered food processor appliance, comprising:

• a disc body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a central hub, a circumferential edge, a first opening in the disc body between the central hub and the circumferential edge, and a second opening in the disc body between the central hub and the circumferential edge;
• an adjustable horizontal slicing blade associated with the first opening, the horizontal slicing blade being moveable in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the disc body to vary a gap between the horizontal slicing blade and the top surface of the disc body;
• and
• an adjustable vertical blade assembly associated with the second opening, the vertical blade assembly being moveable between a first position where a flat surface of the vertical blade assembly is in registration with the second opening to provide for only horizontal slicing of a food item, a second position where a plurality of coarse shredding elements of the vertical blade assembly are in registration with the second opening and extend therethrough and above the top surface of the disc body to provide for coarse shredding of the food item, and a third position where a plurality of fine shredding elements of the vertical blade assembly are in registration with the second opening and extend therethrough and above the top surface of the disc body to provide for fine shredding of the food item.
