ABSTRACT:
A household slicing machine wherein a disc shaped rotary knife is mounted in a vertical plane and a guard, which is separable from the housing of the machine, is movable in a second plane that is parallel to the vertical plane of the knife between a first position in which the guard cooperates with an adjustable abutment to conceal the knife, a second position in which the knife is exposed and the machine is ready for use, and a third position in which the guard can be detached from the housing. A spring-biased locking element is reciprocably mounted in the front wall of the housing to extend into an opening of the guard when the latter assumes its second position and to extend in front of an end face of the guard when the latter assumes its first position. This prevents accidental shifting of the guard from the selected position because each such shifting must be preceded by manual depression of the locking element. The guard cooperates with a blocking device which permits depression of a trip in order to start the motor for the knife only in the second position of the guard.
