This invention embodies a new method, and complemental means for making. a CllS- tinctively different type of potato chipin,
contrast to the form of chips ordinarily made and marketed.
The principal novelty is predicated upon the characteristic method followed in the slicing of the raw potato preparatory to frying. A subordinate feature of novelty is, how ever, based upon the physical means, which is utilized in conjunction with the method for permitting accomplishment of the task in a satisfactory and highly economical and The procedure embodied in the new method of making, as well as the mechanical details incorporated in the device used will become more readily apparent fromthe fol-. lowing description and drawings.
In the drawings: 1 V Figure 1 is a top plan view of the preferred form of device, utilized in carrying out the invention.
Figure 2 is a side or edge elevational view of Figure 1. I v
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view, taken approximately upon the plane of the line 33 of Figurel;
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view, taken approximately upon theplane of theline .4-4@0fFigure3. I V V j Figure 5 is a top plan view of one of the species of chips made in accordance with the Figure 6 is an exaggerated view taken approximately upon the plane of the line 66 of Figure 5.
It is logical to firstrdescribe the mechanical 40 contrivance or preferred device, which is employed in carrying the invention into actual effect. This device, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 is principally made up of a sectional base of a portable design, one section of which is designated by the reference character 7, and the 'complemental section of which is designated by the character 8. f Associated with these two sections is the slicing elements 9.
The part 7 comprises a paddle shaped is a blocklike element 12, functioning as a .slices to be regulated.
against which the peeled potato is placed in an upright position. This part includes .a
stantially hor'iz'ontalplane with the base 1O stop and 'reinforcing member. 1 This is disposed in spaced relation to] an adjacent end "of the complemental section 10, and the forwardedge thereof is bevelled rea'rwardly anddownwardly as 'at'13 to provide a chute 14, between the sections, and the slices of with depending legs 16, which as shown in I Figure 4 areprovided with slots 17, adjustably connected with .the adjacent end of the basesection 10, through the medium of screws or the like 18. This allows the two. elements 12 and 15 to be adjusted as a -unit with'respect to the parts 10, Thus the forward edge of the plate 15 operates as a cut-V provide a tooth, .and wherein onesection is relatively adjustable with respect to the. other section "and carries the slicing plate, whereby to" permit the thickness of the In the ordinary method of slicing potatoes for'making chips, theraw peeled potato is'sliced squarelyacross. .The result isthat the slices become nested together and mold and spoil and soon become soggy. In ac-v cordance withthe improved method, however, the potato is placedend down against rest or base 10,- having an upper fiat face manipulating'handle 11. Disposed in a sub- 7 435 potato pass down through theLchut-e into a V suitable receiving pan or :receptacle. The
slicing plate comprises a longitudinallycorruga'ted plate 15,; the major portion of which i is fastened to the block 12, in such away "that-the forward end extends beyondzthe bevelled edge 13, and bridges the space or chute 14:. This forward end is 'provided' the top of the section 10 of thegbase' and drawn against the cutting edge 19 of the she in'g' plate 15. With each 'nevvslice, the potato is turned one-quarterof a circle. In
this. manner, the slice permitted tQAdrop no holes in the. slice.
Sh-Kl leg ing together the said down through the chute into the receiving receptacle. The edges of the sliced product are all bevelled by this method of slicing, and the hot grease pours through the apertures in the slices and cooks the entire product thoroughly.
The bevelled edges are cooked harder and thus return a crisp and firm condition, and the product remains in a superior condition for days. With the grease boiling through the apertures, every portion of the slice is thoroughly cooked.
The corrugated slicer plate must be adjusted to the proper spaced elevation, above the top of the section l0..of the base. If the slicer is raised too high, the slice of the potato willbe too thickfand there will be The slice would have grooves vwithout holes By adjusting the member secured to the under side of the slicing plate and presenting a rearwardly and downwardly inclined edge against which the said slices are adapted to abut zlind by which they are deflected downward- In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

slicer and making the proper quarter turn each'time the potato is moved against-the cuttmgfedge, holes are made 1n the slice,
and the product has the-appearance of a grooved waffle-with holes clear through it. The product is attractive tothe eye, remains crisp, firm and sweet muchflonger than the ordinary chip. Moreover, the chips when packaged do not become nested together.
A careful consideration of the descrip- Y chip if the method described is V properly followed.
Minor changes in shape,.procedure, and
materials may be resorted to, in actualpractice, if desired. I 1
