A clamping mechanism for a food slicing machine having a product holder 6 that is driven cyclically through a food slicing blade along an arcuate or linear path is driven by the drive means that drives the product holder, thereby assuring the timing of the clamping during the cutting portion of the stroke. A drive rod 12 extends from the drive means, which can be a driveshaft 2, and extends to a plate 20 that is pivotably mounted to the product holder. The plate pushes plungers 30 - 36 (figure 3) through the sidewall of the holder to seat against and clamp the food product against the sidewall of the holder. The clamping mechanism maintains the food log in position during slicing, allows the log to fall under the influence of gravity where necessary and permits the holder to be easily loaded. |
