<p>A chute attachment for a slicing apparatus comprises a tiltable platform (10) hinged to a baseplate (12) to be mounted on the apparatus. The platform (10) has a plurality of endless chain conveyors (16) each having a series of outstanding spikes (18) therealong. The spikes (18) of each conveyor (16) extend through a corresponding slot (20) in the platform (10) to serve as a lower securement for an article of food (22) placed thereon and, when driven, to progress it towards a cutting blade (24) of said slicing apparatus. A plurality of resiliently biased fingers (26) are positioned above the platform (10) to provide an upper biasing against the article (22) and hold the article (22) in its lower securement. The conveyors (16) are driven by a spring-loaded lever system to be integrated into a thickness setting mechanism of said apparatus.</p> |
