ABSTRACT:
A spiral meat slicer especially for cutting ham, wherein the ham is mounted vertically on a spiked platform which slowly revolves. A rotating disk blade is brought into engagement with the periphery of the ham to cut the ham to the bone. The blade support is mounted on a lead screw so that the blade steadily rises as the ham rotates. Thus an unbroken spiral cut of ham is produced. In order to permit selective manual control when cutting around the aitch bone, a manually manipulatable arm is provided, by which the blade may be selectively moved toward and away from the rotative axis of the ham. Once the aitch bone has been cleared, the arm is detented into an extreme position and thereafter the blade is automatically biased toward the ham with a predetermined spring force, by means of a biasing spring. When the arm causes the blade to swing completely free of the ham to its extreme retracted position, a fractional nut disengages from the lead screw and allows the blade support to drop by gravity to its starting position at the base.
