Abstract: Herein described is a quick assembling disassembling and movement mechanism for a component of a food slicing machine (10) of the type comprising a framework (12) bearing a rotating blade (14), provided with a blade-cover (16) which extends for at least a part of the circumferential edge of the blade (14), a moveable flap (18) and guide means (20) for a carriage (22). The carriage (22) is made up of a product-bearing plate (24), a support arm (26), constrained in a sliding manner against the guide means (20), and a cover-plate (28) sliding over the product-bearing plate (24) in an orthogonal direction with respect to the moveable flap (18).
