BREAD AND MEAT SLlCER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,360, dated January 17, 1882.

Application filed May 11, 1880. Renewed January 26, 1881; again renewed December 7, 1881; (No model.)

chines; and I do hereby declare the following to beafull,clear,' and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to that class of silt:- ing-machines having the cutting-blade set in a frame or board, and at such an angle as may be desired, and is made to move in a direct line back and forth by the arrangement of suitable guides for the purpose. The cuttingboard is required to be adjustable and move at an angle that will enlarge or diminish the space between the board and the blade, and

also the space for the slice to pass freely through. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view vwith the thumb-screw in section, showing the rack and pinion. Fig. 2 is a side view of the improved device for adjustment of cutting board.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the views.

The guides a a may be connected together by any suitable device that will hold them in a position parallel to each other, and are provided with grooves, inwhich the frame bis made to slide back and forth in operating the machine.

The sliding frame bconsis'ts of the two pieces 0 c, which are secured to the angular boardd, and form the slides to work in the guides at a. The blade 6 is secured to the board d.

The cutting-board f should work free between the slides c c, and to secure this freedom of action I dispense with guides at its upper edge and employ my improved adjustment, which is supported upon the bridge h. This I place at any desired angle that 1 may wish to move the cutting-board in. I make a reend.

cess, 7c, in the bridge to receive the angular plate 8, which is secured to the cutting-board. A slot is formed in said plate of suitable length, and cogs are formed on the face, in which the teeth of the pinion can work, as seen in Fig. l. the thumb-piece 'n, which works free in a hole in thebridge and extends through far enough, and has a tightening-nut, m, on its projecting The operator, in adjusting the cutting-board to out any'thickness of slice, turns the thumbpieee which operates the pinion p, thus moving the cutting-board in or out in the direction of the dotted lines 7, and to secure it at any point turns the nut l, which causes the pinion which acts as a collar against the angular plate, to hold it firmly against the bridge.

To prevent the rear end of cutting-board f from being forced out of its proper line bythe pressure; of the articles being sliced,'I use the dovetailed guide P. This peculiar form of guide secures a comparatively large wearingsurface, which adapts it to this particular purpose.

To hold the machine while in use, I provide the beveled clamp 2, which is secured to the under side and near to the end of the machine, to embrace the edge of the table, as indicated by the dotted lines to.

I disclaim the general features of the machine shown in the patents granted to A. Iske The pinion is fast to the shank of May 4, 1875, No. 162,823, A. Iske March 9,

1880, No. 225,387, same class, and A. Iske No- .,vemberl8, 1879,No. 221,824, (strawcutter,)and

confine my invention to the particular method of adjustment.

WhatI claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination,in a slicing-machine, of the bridge h, angular plate 8, thumb-piece n, with its pinion, and tightening-nut in, all substantially as set forth.

1n testimony whereof I 'affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
