Abstract
A food slicer mountable within a kitchen work unit support frame and comprising a slicer body with a removable infeed ramp. The slicer body includes aligned upper and lower platforms defining a slot therebetween. The adjacent edge of the upper platform forms the slicing blade. The ramp is positioned in overlying relation to the lower platform and includes opposed end edges of different height which, upon selective alignment below the blade edge of the upper platform, vary the effective height of the slot and the thickness of the slice.
Claims5
A food slicer comprising a slicer body and an infeed ramp, said slicer body including a pair of longitudinally aligned platforms, said platforms comprising an upper receiving platform and a lower infeed platform, said platforms having adjacent inner edges at a spacing defining a slot of predetermined height therebetween, a slicer blade along the inner edge of said upper platform, said infeed ramp being removably receivable on said lower platform and including an upper working surface and plural spaced edges selectively alignable with and over the slot-defining inner edge of said lower platform to reduce the effective height of the slot, said ramp edges comprising a pair of parallel opposed edges of different heights whereby the height of the slot will vary in accord with the ramp edge aligned over the inner edge of the lower platform, said working surface including a planar section at and inward of each edge of said parallel edges, each of said planar sections lying in a plane disposed generally parallel to the plane of said infeed platform and being of equal height with the corresponding edge, and said working surface further including an inclined section between and connecting said planar sections.
