  • Patent number: 5038649
    Abstract: A food slicer adapter is provided for securement in combination with a food slicer containing an underlying hopper with relatively movable blades mounted therewithin. The adapter is provided for sliding inter-engagement with one of a plurality of feed hoppers contained within the food slicer and contains a central feed tube formed with a feed opening overlying a transparent shield. The shield overlies a plurality of diametrically opposed spacer flanges defining a diameter essentially equal to that of an internal diameter defined by the feed hopper. The flanges are formed with leg members with a slot defined within the leg members and the flanges for interfitting within diametrically opposed slots within the feed hopper. A ram directs food positioned within the feed opening and directs such food past diametrically positioned and orthogonally oriented blades secured at a lowermost end of the adapter.
