Abstract
Abstract A slicer having two groups of knife blades, each group formed by a plurality of blades, secured side-by-side in two pairs of blade holders. Each pair of blade holders secures one group of knife blades and is provided with a groove between each blade of the supported group through which a blade of the other group of blades passes to define a very narrow opening between adjacent blades. The groups of blades are reciprocated in opposite directions to perform the slicing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A slicer for making a plurality of uniform, thin slices in a single operation comprising, a frame, first and second holding members mounted for opposing, reciprocal, motion in said frame, each said holding member having substantially parallel, spaced upper and lower portions, first and second groups of knife blades, each group being formed by a plurality of individual knife blades, means to mount said first and second groups of knife blades in said first and second holding members, respectively, and comprising support members fixedly mounted on said lower portion and hook means adjustably mounted on said upper portion, said hook means being mounted in an alternating manner normal to and diagonal to said knife blades, a plurality of grooves formed in said upper and lower portions of each of said holding members between each of the knife blades mounted therein, said holding members being mounted in said frame at different elevations but in substantially the same vertical plane with the knife blades of one group passing through the grooves in the opposite holding member so as to be parallel to and closely spaced from the knife blades of the other groups of knife blades, and means to reciprocate said holding means in opposing directions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
204 words
A slicer for making a plurality of uniform, thin slices in a single operation comprising, a frame, first and second holding members mounted for opposing, reciprocal, motion in said frame, each said holding member having substantially parallel, spaced upper and lower portions, first and second groups of knife blades, each group being formed by a plurality of individual knife blades, means to mount said first and second groups of knife blades in said first and second holding members, respectively, and comprising support members fixedly mounted on said lower portion and hook means adjustably mounted on said upper portion, said hook means being mounted in an alternating manner normal to and diagonal to said knife blades, a plurality of grooves formed in said upper and lower portions of each of said holding members between each of the knife blades mounted therein, said holding members being mounted in said frame at different elevations but in substantially the same vertical plane with the knife blades of one group passing through the grooves in the opposite holding member so as to be parallel to and closely spaced from the knife blades of the other groups of knife blades, and means to reciprocate said holding means in opposing directions.
Claim 3
