ABSTRACT:
A rotary food slicing tool is provided for use in a food processor of the type having a housing with a motor drive and a working bowl mountable on the housing which is adapted to encircle the food slicing tool. The tool has an elongated hub with a lower end coupling removably engageable with the motor drive for rotating the tool in the bowl about an axis of rotation. The rotary slicing tool in accordance with the present invention includes a disc-like member mounted on the upper end of the elongated hub. This disc-like member includes a raised rim having a skirt extending downwardly therefrom and an arcuate opening extending inwardly from the raised rim to a position near the center of the disc-like member. A raised platform on the disc-like member includes a rearwardly sloping arcuate shoulder and a leading edge which overhangs the trailing portion of the opening forming an elevated forward facing slot between the disc-like member and the raised platform. A U-shaped cutting blade has a front leg which forms the slicing surface. This front leg is mounted on the leading edge of the platform overhanging the slot opening. The rear leg of this U-shaped blade is mounted on the platform snug against the raised rim, thereby providing a strong, rugged cutting structure which produces clean, crisp cuts of food items fed into the working bowl onto the top of the disc-like member. The raised rim extends above the level of the U-shaped cutting blade a distance of approximately 1 millimeter all around the circumference of the disc-like member and prevents distortion or expansion of vegetables or other food products beyond the rim of the tool for avoiding unsightly or distorted slicing.
