Slicing device

摘要

A food slicer includes a container 30 with sidewalls surrounding a central axis, a blade tray 50 spanning a portion of the interior space of the container and having a plurality of slicing blades 82 separated by openings 83 for the slices, a housing 20 that caps the container and has sidewalls projecting from the top that snugly surround the sidewalls of the container so that the container can be snugly slid into the housing in a direction along the central axis. A pusher 60 is attached to the housing and has projections 66 sized and shaped to be received in the openings between the blades of the blade tray so that when the housing is slid over the container the pusher forces the food item 70 against and through the blades to slice the food item. One of the sidewalls of the housing has an opening to permit a food item to be placed onto the blade tray whilst the housing side walls are slidably snugly engaged with the container sidewalls, and the pusher is engaged with the housing.
