CARRIAGE DRIVE FOR A FOOD SLICER

摘要

A carriage drive for a food slicer. The carriage (16) can be adjusted from a manual operation to an automatic motor-driven operation. In order to set the slicer at automatic operation, the slicer includes a carrier (36) which reciprocates on a slide rod (32). When a transport portion of the carriage supporting arm is attached to the carrier (36), then the carriage (16) is driven by the motor (54). The motor can be connected to the carrier (36) through a series of four linkages which provide smooth motion, high drive efficiency and high reliability.
