ABSTRACT:
A citrus slicing machine wherein a whole peeled citrus fruit (e.g., a grapefruit) is placed on an upright spindle with its core oriented in a vertical direction. A plurality of uniformly circumferentially spaced blades, which are mounted on an overlying head, are then reciprocated vertically through the fruit to slice it into a plurality of uniform segments. The blades are flat in the vertical plane and extend outwardly from the bottom upwardly so that they cut the fruit from the interior to the outside thereof. The blades are arranged in non-radial orientations with respect to the axial core of the fruit so that they slice across the radially extending membranes of the fruit to provide pleasing and attractive fruit slices for the ever popular fruit salads or the like.
