Patent number: 4756083Abstract: A combination slicing and storing device for food products in block form wherein the food product is caused to descend by gravity within a tubular member mounted on a base such that a portion of the food product projects through an opening in the base and is supported on a recessed food support provided on a slice holder plate. The slice holder plate is operatively associated with a trigger member mounted on the base, being adapted for sliding movement with respect to the base upon manual actuation of the trigger member by a user of the device. Actuation of the trigger member causes a cutting member on the slice holder plate to be drawn through the projecting portion of food so as to create a slice of food product of uniform thickness. The slice is allowed to fall away from the device and onto a serving dish or plate by virtue of the fact that the food support has moved out of position beneath the food product.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1987Date of Patent: July 12, 1988Inventor: Modesto C.
