Abstract
A mandoline slicer 10 for slicing a food product, the slicer 10 comprising a frame 12 having opposed sidewalls 14,16, a first support plate 18 and a second support plate 20 positioned between the opposed sidewalls 14,16, a slicing member 22 having a slicing edge 58 positioned between the first and said second support plates 28,20, and a slice thickness adjustment mechanism 26 having a lever 80 movable between a first position and a second position and configured to vary a vertical distance between the slicing edge 58 of said slicing member 22 and an edge 42 of said first support plate 16.
Claims20
A mandoline slicer, comprising:
- a frame having opposed sidewalls;
- a first support plate and a second support plate, said first and second support plates positioned between said opposed sidewalls;
- a slicing member between said first and said second support plates, said slicing member having a slicing edge;
- and
- a slice thickness adjustment mechanism having a lever movable between a first position and a second position and configured to vary a vertical distance between said slicing edge of said slicing member and an edge of said first support plate.
A mandoline slicer, comprising:
- a frame having opposed sidewalls;
- a first support plate and a second support plate, said first and second support plates positioned between said opposed sidewalls;
- a slicing member between said first and said second support plates, said slicing member having a slicing edge and being selectively removable from said frame;
- a cutting member having a plurality of vertical cutting blades between said slicing member and said first support plate, said cutting member being selectively removable from said frame;
- and
- a carriage assembly having a housing, a pair of pushbuttons pivotally mounted to said housing and disposed within apertures in said housing, and a food press plate mounted on a plurality of guide pins and disposed within said housing, said press plate being actuatable to engage a food item to move said food item across said cutting member and said slicing member.
A mandoline slicer, comprising:
- a frame having opposed sidewalls;
- a first support plate and a second support plate, said first and second support plates positioned between said opposed sidewalls, said first support plate being pivotally mounted to said frame;
- a slicing member between said first and said second support plates, said slicing member having a slicing edge;
- and
- a slice thickness adjustment mechanism configured to vary a vertical distance between said slicing edge of said slicing member and an edge of said first support plate and having a lever movable between a first position and a second position, a semiannular inner gear operatively connected to said lever, and at least one screw member, said at least one screw member having a threaded body portion threadedly engaged in a throughbore in said frame and a gear head portion meshed with said inner gear;
- wherein when said lever is moved from said first position to said second position, said inner gear causes said screw member to advance in said throughbore and exert a force on an underside of said first support plate to pivotally move said first support plate relative to said frame to vary said vertical distance.
