Abstract
A slicer with which the thickness of sliced food can be varied includes a movable receiving part that receives sliding food and is subjected to downward pressure from the food, the movable receiving part not moving downward due to the pressure even if a means for securing the receiving part in place is not separately provided. An adjustment member for moving a vertically mobile first receiving part is mounted in a frame of the slicer so as to be forwardly and rearwardly movable. A means for moving the adjustment member is a worm that is provided on a drive shaft. A deflection mechanism is present between the adjustment member and the first receiving part which converts the forward and rearward motion of the adjustment member into vertical motion of the first receiving part.
Claims8
A culinary slicer capable of slicing food comprising a slicing blade that slides forward along a top face of a first receiving part to a top face of a second receiving part, the thickness of the sliced food being adjusted by moving at least one of the slicing blade and the first receiving part so as to change the relative heights thereof, an adjustment member for moving a mobile first receiving part and/or the slicing blade is movably mounted in a slicer frame, and the means for moving the adjustment member is a worm provided on a drive part.
A culinary slicer capable of slicing food comprising a slicing blade that slides forward along a top face of a first receiving part to a top face of a second receiving part, the thickness of the sliced food being adjusted by way of moving the first receiving part so as to change the relative heights of the first receiving part and the slicing blade, an adjustment member for moving the first receiving part movably mounted in a slicer frame, means for moving the adjustment member comprising a worm provided on a drive part, a deflection mechanism present between the adjustment member and the first receiving part for converting the motion of the adjustment member into motion that changes the height of the first receiving part with respect to the slicing blade, the deflection mechanism comprising inclined faces provided on the first receiving part and the adjustment member which are inclined in the vertical direction, the inclined faces facing each other and being able to slide on each other.
