Cheese Slicer

摘要

The present invention provides a cheese slicer adjustable for slicing cheese in variable thicknesses, comprising a handle; a guiding plate pivotally connected to the handle; a slicing plate having a slicing blade, wherein the slicing blade and the guiding plate together define a gap as slice thickness; a linkage movably resting against the guiding plate so that the movement of the linkage enables the guiding plate to pivot around the handle relative to the slicing blade thereby to provide variable slice thickness for the item to be sliced; an actuator assembly in operative connection with the linkage to move the linkage on the guiding plate. The cheese slicer of the present invention further comprises an indicating mechanism to clearly indicate the selected thickness of the sliced cheese.

1. A cheese slicer (1) comprising:
a handle (2) having a first end (35) and a second end (13); a guiding plate (5) having a proximal end (6) pivotally connected to the first end (35) of the handle (2), and a distal end (7); a slicing plate (3) having a slicing blade (9), wherein the slicing blade (9) and the distal end (7) of the guiding plate (5) together define a gap (8) as slice thickness for an item to be sliced; a linkage (10) accommodated in the handle (2) and movably resting against the guiding plate (5) so that the movement of the linkage (10) enables the guiding plate (5) to pivot around the first end (35) of the handle (2) relative to the slicing blade (9) thereby to provide variable slice thickness for the item to be sliced; and an actuator assembly in operative connection with the linkage (10) to move the linkage (10) on the guiding plate (5).
