Mandoline having adjustable infeed and outfeed decks

摘要

A mandoline for cutting and/or slicing food items having an infeed deck and outfeed deck pivotally mounted on a housing adjacent each other in a sloped longitudinal orientation. Adjacent end portions of the infeed deck and outfeed deck are vertically spaced. The end portion of said outfeed deck includes a fixed blade mounted above the end portion of said infeed deck. A pair of knob assemblies are rotatably mounted on opposite sides of the housing and each include a pair of open cam slots and respectively engage a pin respectively formed on opposite sides of said infeed deck and said outfeed deck. Rotation of said cam assemblies causes said infeed deck and outfeed deck to move simultaneously either toward or away from each other to vary the space between the fixed blade and said infeed deck.
