<p>A bacon slicing machine wherein the product is placed onto the exposed horizontal supporting surface of a table which is movable between an extended and a retracted position. The front portion of the table overlies the cutting edge of the knife and the apex of a rotary feeding wheel in the extended position of the table to thus prevent injury to the hands of an attendant. A spring biases the table to the extended position, and a bar is provided at the rear end of the table to be depressed by the hips of an attendant standing behind the table in order to move the table to the retracted position in which the product can be pushed along the supporting surface, along an upwardly or downwardly inclined platform which forms part of the front portion of the table, and into the range of the feeding wheel. The supporting surface of the table and the cutting plane of the knife make an acute angle of between 15 DEG and 50 DEG . A switch is provided to arrest the motor for the feeding wheel when the table leaves the retracted position, and the table is pivotable to raise its front portion above the feeding wheel and the knife subsequent to movement of the table to the extended position.</p> |
