Abstract: An ergonomically designed food slicing machine including a rotatable blade for slicing bulk food product, a motor operably connected to the rotating blade, and a base portion located below the rotatable blade which defines a food slice receiving area. The machine may be provided with a sliced food receptacle operably connected to a scale, a visible indicia correlating to the distance between the gauge plate and rotatable blade, a blade sharpening assembly, a sled for securing the food product and an operator adjusted optimum stroke setting system for automatic operation of the slicing machine.

Abstract: A modular system of power and data components comprising a substation having power and data ports is provided. The system includes channels releasably connectable to the substation and supports. The substation, channels and supports are releasably and rotatably connected to permit the system to be formed in almost infinite combinations to accommodate numerous office or work space configurations. The system is used in conjunction with tables, screens and other furniture to form a fully and easily adjustable office or work space set-up to accommodate any office or work space situation and to allow quick change to accommodate changes in the initial office or work space set-up.

Abstract: An ergonomically designed food slicing machine including a rotatable blade (800, 2800) for slicing bulk food product, a motor (1400, 3400) operably connected to the rotating blade (800, 2800), and a base (100) portion located below the rotatable blade (800, 2800) which defines a food slice receiving area. The machine may be provided with a sliced food receptable operably connected to a scale (3900), a visible indicia (3502) correlating to the distance between the gauge plate (2500) and rotatable blade (2800), a blade sharpening assembly (900, 2900), a sled (200) for securing the food product and an operator adjusted optimum stroke setting system for automatic operation of the slicing machine.
