A slicing machine having a housing containing an electric motor in driving connection with a circular blade for slicing meat, cheese and the like, the housing having an adjustable stop plate mounted thereon in proximity with a portion of the circular blade to permit a user to select a desired slice thickness and which also provides a blade guard when the slicing machine is stored. A wedge-shaped table member which slidably fits over the blade in engagement with the housing to provide a cover for storage and can be slidably fitted to said housing to provide a table extending from a front portion of said housing. A curved dish access member, having an integral arcuate ledge, formed integral with a rear portion of the housing provides means whereby a dish may be placed in proximity with the housing during operation, not only to receive sliced foodstuffs but also the juices therefrom.
A slicing machine for use in the home for slicing foodstuffs, comprising, a housing containing an electric motor in driving connection with a flat circular blade, said blade being supported for rotation about its central axis and positioned in a recess in a housing wall, a stop plate mounted in said housing adjacent said blade and movable substantially perpendicualr to said blade to select a thickness of a slice of foodstuff being sliced, an opening formed in said housing adjacent said blade and said stop plate through which sliced food is discharged, the portion of said housing defining the lower edge of said opening being formed with a food dish receiving member which guides said sliced food through said opening onto a dish, said food dish receiving member including a first portion to position said dish and a second portion extending beyond said first portion to direct liquids from said food onto said dish, a table having a surface for supporting food to be moved toward and across said blade, said table being detachably mounted to the housing with said surface being above the lower edge of said blade and at a substantially right angle to said blade during operation, means detachably mounting said table in an alternative storage position partially enclosing said housing and being positioned with said surface substantially parallel to said blade.
A slicing machine for domestic use in slicing foodstuffs, comprising a housing containing an electric motor in driving connection with a circular blade, said blade being rotatable by said motor, a stop plate mounted in said housing movable substantially perpendicular to said blade to select a thickness of a slice of foodstuff being sliced, an opening formed in said housing adjacent said blade and said stop plate through which sliced food is discharged, the portion of said housing defining the lower edge of said opening being formed with an arcuate food dish receiving member which guides said sliced food through said opening onto a dish, said arcuate food dish receiving member including a first portion to position said dish and a second portion extending beyond said first portion to direct liquids from said food onto said dish.
